Hey pretty, what's on your mind

nothing here, an endless night

fed up and sick, tired of me

my thin boy voice ruins everything

oh sweetheart, don't say such things

we don't know who's listening

don't talk, don't smile

just silently walk on by



my emily says "oh ladd

what has she done

to my darling innocent boy?

my favorite late night someone"

i wish you were here to kiss me

and scream damnit ladd i need you back

emily rolls over in bed and says

"is it really so bad?"



hey pretty are you secretly sad?

questions i dare not ask

fed up and sick, tired of this

such simple things i miss

oh sweetheart, don't say such things

we don't know who's listening

the only thing that can fill this gap

is the one who doesn't want me back



my emily says "oh ladd

how long can this last?"

as long as it takes to get that attention

so safe at last

i wish you were here to hold me

and scream "damnit ladd, i need you back"

emily rolls over in bed and says

"you dont want that



so here's my advice to you

this should've turned out different

but it didn't, so get over it

but don't you find it reassuring?

that one constellation glowing

my darling boy, it won't snow where she is going"
