[Verse 1]
First of all I am sorry
Disappointment enthusiast
I think I am permanently sick
I just threw up at the thought of being honest
Will the old me ever come back?
My odds unbearably slim
Will you stay for a while and relax
As I gather my consciousness?
You're warm, I'm cold, there's no argument
I shrunk, you grew, I just can't pretend
To be something greater than me
(Ahh-ahh)
To be someone you want me to be
(Ahh-ahh)
To be someone you want me to be
To be someone...

[Verse 2]
You're the copper, I'm the litter
At the bottom of the wishing well
It looks as if we both have drowned
Warm hand splash comes down on the reach
You'll never mean much to anyone
But you mean the world to me
[Bridge]
Out the front door, I watch your body leave
Could you please keep the light on for me?
Could you please keep the light on for me?
Neighbors shout loudly, "Hey kid, we're so sorry"
Could you please keep the light on for me?
Could you please?
Could you please just touch my hand one more time?
(One! Time!)
So I could feel alive again
(One! Time!)
I blend in the pastel
You shine so bright
I am lost without the light

[Outro]
It was a steep slope
Such a rapid change
I thought I had it right
The thought then washed away
It was a steep slope
Such a rapid change
I dreamt of months of snow, you prayed for days of rain
It was a steep slope
Such a swift, swift wave
I thought I had it right
The thought then washed away
