monday

To wake up hurt

But I've heard

That it will hurt many Mondays more

In the middle of traffic I

Guess we had just had it

Yellow cab

Screaming my name

And I go insane

Because I'd rather be awake and in pain

And I go insane

Because I'd rather feel alive

Than being in a bubble of protection all day

Brooklyn, you have never shined so bright

As when I watched you

From the east side that night

And I'm replaying every line in my mind

How could we let the world define

When and how and where to draw the line

But it's alright

That I walk on the line 'cause they've got my back

And it's alright

That I look at what was there and then get scared

And then I get scared that when I fall asleep

My brain will eat my memories

I'm so scared

I've lost my best friend

Scared that I won't feel again

Scared that when I wash my sheets

That will take away from me

The last bit I've got to keep

'Cause it's the last bit I've got to keep

Moving on in abc town

I am so close but yet so far away on the ground

And I see strangers

And they are pouring out their hearts

The taste of saltwater makes me so sick by now

And it's only by now

That I need a friend to step in

And it's only by then

When I surrender to it all

My head's on my pillow, my phone lights up

And you call
