We knew a place once

Post codes burned into my phone

Had to fashion an escape

Tell them I'm never coming home

Live in my heartbreak now

Smell sweet pain

Never knew I was around

For me to taste your name

Why buy a coat when I can write you in it?

So you're wrapped up warm 'cause you're such a cynic

I'll take your clothes home just to bleed on

Every day my hair gets longer

I'm stuck in visions where the car don't start

I won't be nineteen forever

Life on screen can't break my heart

All my life ahead of me

Where my own head can get the best of me

Soon to be a teenage girl

In my twenties

In my dreams the TV's on

Lights up the chair that took her name

It's a mystery to solve

When the fibres start to fray

My surroundings swallow me

It comes with age

A certain type of love That can't be replaced

Every day my hair gets longer

I'm stuck in visions where the car don't start

I won't be nineteen forever

Life on screen can't break my heart

All my life ahead of me

Where my own head can get the best of me

How can I lose something so permanently inked?

Send me a sign, oh, please give me a hint

Needle into my skin turns absence into art

My fish swim dejected;

Invisible they dart
