I bought this sweater used, but It's nice of you to notice The patterns that wrap around the side I wonder why It's so hard to keep from stalling When it's a part of us now A distance once not thought of The newfound cause of Small talk When whispers turn into goodbyes We're just falling into something Taken apart by the thought of upkeep In memories which are no longer here We're just tumbling into something Made from parts we'd thought we'd not be In memories we'll never speak of again If we don't say them Did they actually happen? The world was once condensed to Our murmurs which helped us get through The fragments and noises now our lives When passing time Was once a game to be played A fill in for a blank The loss of close and quiet The fear of becoming a silent Friend We're just falling into something Taken apart by the thought of upkeep In memories which are no longer real We're just tumbling into something Made from parts we'd thought we'd not be In memories we'll never speak of again If we don't say them then how can they mend? We're just falling into something Taken apart by the thought of upkeep In memories which are no longer here If we don't think of them they'll disappear The world was smaller once That too met its end A person's nothing without Thoughtful conversation

I found it a bit strange That her on the front page Would cause me to move And wake up from sleep Cause she been out there And while I was well aware I left her alone I lived life idly The stalling of memories Now her in front of me Left pause to assume It had all been a dream The time that was in between Her and my company Fell hard to the truth: I found her in everything My head and her shoulder meet The tears from her crying And now me too And now me leaving From rain to my bedroom To speak when spoken to To not talk at all To think of nothing When led back to this end A place where she is again And I can't be removed I keep on falling There was never a truth to it I'll swear by her permanence Within every look To finally feel free

If you want me to Erase the memories Of me and you running Into the ivory Salads at the park The week that school starts Till unknown Lost to the dark Casting shadows on The edge of the gardens Now in the greenhouse Where your picture was taken It's like we weren't here As if this never happened The streams of sun seen Not again A twist reversal of me Breaking my silence To wonder now if I'd Kept the opposite It leaves me alone By myself, so quiet Waiting for nothing next If you want me to Erase the memories Of which my guilt helps to Replay them constantly I'll live reminded of What once was fantasy When beauty caves in and falls Cause sorry won't say it all
