-- Lyrics --
If it was supposed to be so right
I’d be sitting on your bed like I did last night
If it was supposed to be so real
It would be drunk in the way the night makes you feel
If it was supposed to be so right
If it was supposed to be so real
Won’t you count, won’t you count me in
Whatever follows you in the dark
Whatever follows you in the dark
Whatever follows you in the dark
Let it carry
Let it carry
Let it carry you
Somewhere between your rights and wrongs
Ain’t there a little bit of space we could all sing along
If it was supposed to be so right
If it was supposed to be so real
Won’t you count, won’t you count me in
Won’t you count me in
7 o clock and it’s just about to get too dark
And you’re still playing in the park
You’re just sitting there in the shade
If it was supposed to be so real
Won’t you count me in
If it was supposed to be so right
Won’t you count me in

-- Lyrics --
Is there a loneliness leaking inside of all of your thinking
As your breath hit the ceiling
The words lose all of their meaning
While your heart’s on fire
You got your eyes closed
You stay cold
‘Cause you’re a little scared of the height of the feeling
You don’t want to know?
Ariel: Love the way that you’re faking
Patrick: Love the way that you’re faking
Did I give it away when my hands were shaking
What makes you so sure?
And then she answers
I just need your touch so I know I’m here
Is there a loneliness leaking?
Just need your touch so I know I’m here
I’m here
Just need your touch so I know I’m here
I’m here
Just need your touch so I know I’m here
It’s in the way you’re walking
It’s in the way you leave me shapes on my pillow that only I can see
It’s in the way we lean on each other so we don’t fall
Ariel: What makes you so sure?
Patrick: Everyone else is a stranger
Here is my body
Real is what I’m feeling
And I feel
Ariel: I feel a little bit crazy
Patrick: feel a little bit crazy
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
You’re just a little bit crazy
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
I just need your touch so I know I’m here

-- Lyrics --
Where the newspapers fall asleep
Blowin’ past the people who are walking down the street
Said that you were a spy
Well, so am I
I’ll meet you dressed up as a ghost
And wander around the town
As the sidewalk dreams for you and me
The city lights are swallowed by the puddles on the ground
And I will meet you there
Live on TV from your bathroom mirror while the little moments dream
And I will meet you there
And it’s only in this quiet that you realize just how small we are
And I will meet you there
And it’s only in these moments we realize just how special we are
Where the flower dresses are worn out at the seams
And the fancy hats that you just don’t fuck with
And the kids pack ships made out of cardboard
With their fists up in the air
I will meet you between those lovers’ hands
Scared ‘cause they know this has to end
Did you see that boy who carried his mother up the stairs
In a crowd of strangers leaning against each other’s ugly troubles
She walks back to her car just like a movie star

-- Lyrics --
Let’s get high, watch our worries walk by
As our thoughts will explode and hit their heads on soft clouds
If you’re not here, well neither am I
Taking soft drugs in our dreams tonight
Somewhere in between the words and what they mean
‘Cause you don’t want to hear the somethings you said
Stuck in your head while you lay there in bed
Would you rather be swallowed next to me
I’m addicted to the color of you
Let’s pretend to find the meaning hidden in the ceiling
Hands up in the air while we surrender to this feeling
If you’re not here, well neither am I
Maybe I will see you around sometime
Tell me why are you so blue
Maybe it’s because you’re addicted to the twisted drama in crazy love
Have you been numb since you were young
Being ironic still means you’re on the run
I don’t really buy that you’re too smart to cry
Maybe I will see you around sometime
If I let go and tell the world no with thoughts that don’t matter
I don’t really care how you get there
Whatever it was it was just a buzz
If you’re not here, well neither am I
‘Cause I’m addicted to the color of you
Tell me why are you so blue
Haven’t I told you
Tell me why are you so blue
I don’t feel a thing
‘Cause I’ve been numb since I was young
That’s all right
Why?
Here’s my alibi
I get high in the melancholy of the sky
It’s not quiet, it’s not sad
While the world stands just beside
‘Cause I’m addicted to the color of you

-- Lyrics --
Thought you heard me when I said stay here
All the world has gone missing
Except the picture of you hanging in my head
Won’t you please stay here
Won’t you stay, won’t you stay, won’t you stay
Etc…..
