lyrics

I took a ride around, the block on a broken bike
That made an awful sound, that sounded a lot like
The things you hate the most, and apparently keep you away from me
And all the things I like, so I started taking some pride in my broken bike

I could tell that you were sick inside
Fed up with everything and everyone alive
And in our final days, I remembered us
Before the truth set in, and rudely woke us up

Every time you close your eyes, I want to be there

You were poised and ready to attack
To strike at all the things, that you think that I lack
But I am just a boy, so cut me a little slack
And you can be my girl, as soon as I get back

Every time you close your eyes, I want to be there

Not a single trace of 'I love you'
Not a single scrap of 'us'
All the evidence was burned alive
Everything was burned, alive

Every time you close your eyes, I want to be there
