Kids these days with their fathers gun
Gotta kill yourself to be someone
What would it take, what prayer must be said
For me to just go to bed
Cause I don't feel safe in my own home
The gun's too close
What would it take what prayer must be said
For me to just go to bed
My mind wanders x2
What makes a man want to go away
Did he know his body would be found by the maid
What would they think if our fates were the same
Oh no
All I need are reasons x2
It's like my heart won't stop
My brain is screaming
And all I need are reasons

Oh Willow tree
I love your weeping branches Willow tree
Every time I drive the back street
I can see myself hanging round the Willow tree
Oh Willow tree
I could support your weeping branches Willow tree
We could be so happy you and me
Live our lives out here on the back street
But the letters in your bark don't resemble my initials at all
And when it's dark I cannot see you
the moon does not shine on you at all
Oh Willow tree
You can always catch me hanging round the Willow tree
The ground tries hard but it can't reach my feet
You can always catch me hanging round the Willow tree

Say hello to your reflection
Adam Franklin
Such a pretty little problem
And we're driving
We were young
I remember
So in love
With the summer
Blowing cold with the top down
On the highway
Mezcal hands wrapping all ‘round
Digital haze
So in love with the summer
Your guitar’s violent shimmer
Shimmer

A dead deer on the side of the road
You're not here, you're at some stupid show
And I'm alone in my house eating dry cereal
With all my disorders keeping me at home
Well fuck you
I don't deserve that shit
Did you enjoy
Watching me hang on to it
It's not fair leaving me on my own
At this stupid fucking party sitting checking my phone
Who are you to decide what stays and what goes
I won't play these fucking games anymore
So fuck you
I don't deserve that shit
The abuse
And what came along with it

I told you it’s for the best
But I don’t think I would’ve guessed
Not talking to you would be so hard
I still need to try it anyway
I should’ve stopped talking to you
A month or two after you moved
‘cause if I did I wouldn’t feel
the way I still feel about you
Staying friends seemed so perfect then
But now we know that I can’t control my feelings
Sorry if I messed things up between us
It might be too late now, I don’t think I can fix this
(x2)

She is high again
Just like yesterday
She starts again
To disassociate
Her head begins
To separate
And she watches herself
Waits to make a mistake
She is sad again
Just like every day
Not that she knows what that means
She always feels the same
So
Is this what you wanted
A second person verse that doesn't
Say your name anywhere
So
Is this what you needed
A first person chorus that doesn't
Say my name anywhere
