  • this is why i love jimmy eat world

    When I know I'm all alone
    I say your name slowly
    And I know that I'm alone
    But I carry you

    Does it feel good like the memory
    When you try some history
    It's a dream to come around
    The rule doesn't bend,
    Because the taste doesn't taste the same again

    It's easy feeling righteous when removed
    All you'll get is what you wanna hear
    It hurts because it should
    How else am I to make it clear?

    I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
    Well, here's to living in the moment
    'Cause it passed.

    Maybe a lie is what I need sometimes
    You told the most and best of anyone
    You said to "keep me in your pocket"
    So I carried you

    You better choose your words carefully
    Because I'm not your anything
    Gonna stay here in my place
    And you'll stay in yours because
    Your only good is what you're good for

    I pace around the room to spend the time
    Waiting while the burning pictures fade
    One thing to make your mind
    And another to say it's me

    I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
    Well, here's to living in the moment
    'Cause it passed, it passed.

    I'm still carrying a little hope that
    Maybe things could be different now
    Is that so wrong, is that so wrong, is that so wrong?

    I wanna I see you tonight
    At a place we'll go
    (going through the motions, they lead to real emotion)
    I wanna make things right
    Before time runs out.
    (it was like you said, the taste don't taste like it should)
    Roll down the windows
    Let the cold air come in, yeah
    Slap my face just to feel, to feel you somehow again, again

    I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
    Well, here's to living in the moment
    'Cause it passed.

    I could never be the one that you want, don't ask.
    Yeah, here's to living in the moment
    'Cause it passed.
    'Cause it passed, it passed, it passed.

  • crying myself to sleep

    when my dad died
    the worms ate out both his eyes
    his soul flew right up in the sky
    i cried myself to sleep

    my mother lies
    alone her back at night
    adding up hours til her demise
    she counts herself to sleep

    my sister finds, body closed up like the blinds
    i tell her i promise it's fine
    she cries herself to sleep

    the men in black ties
    arrive at the house in surprise
    to find a little girl by your side
    a wood box where you're sleepin'

    oh.

    i still see you inside of this god-awful house
    you move awfully quiet now

    and i still feel you
    everywhere

    you told me this has always been worth livin'
    what's really worth livin' anymore?

  • my poetry sounds nothing like this

    the trapeze swinger - iron & wine

    Please, remember me
    Happily
    By the rosebush laughing
    With bruises on my chin
    The time when
    We counted every black car passing
    Your house beneath the hill
    And up until
    Someone caught us in the kitchen
    With maps, a mountain range,
    A piggy bank
    A vision too removed to mention
    But

    Please, remember me
    Fondly
    I heard from someone you're still pretty
    And then
    They went on to say
    That the pearly gates
    Had some eloquent graffiti
    Like 'We'll meet again'
    And 'Fuck the man'
    And 'Tell my mother not to worry'
    And angels with their gray
    Handshakes
    Were always done in such a hurry
    And

    Please, remember me
    At Halloween
    Making fools of all the neighbors
    Our faces painted white
    By midnight
    We'd forgotten one another
    And when the morning came
    I was ashamed
    Only now it seems so silly
    That season left the world
    And then returned
    And now you're lit up by the city
    So

    Please, remember me
    Mistakenly
    In the window of the tallest tower call
    Then pass us by
    But much too high
    To see the empty road at happy hour
    Leave and resonate
    Just like the gates
    Around the holy kingdom
    With words like 'Lost and Found' and 'Don't Look Down'
    And 'Someone Save Temptation'
    And

    Please, remember me
    As in the dream
    We had as rug-burned babies
    Among the fallen trees
    And fast asleep
    Aside the lions and the ladies
    That called you what you like
    And even might
    Give a gift for your behavior
    A fleeting chance to see
    A trapeze
    Swing as high as any savior
    But

    Please, remember me
    My misery
    And how it lost me all I wanted
    Those dogs that love the rain
    And chasing trains
    The colored birds above there running
    In circles round the well
    And where it spells
    On the wall behind St. Peter's
    So bright with cinder gray
    And spray paint
    'Who the hell can see forever?'
    And

    Please, remember me
    Seldomly
    In the car behind the carnival
    My hand between your knees
    You turn from me
    And said 'The trapeze act was wonderful
    But never meant to last'
    The clown that passed
    Saw me just come up with anger
    When it filled with circus dogs
    The parking lot
    Had an element of danger
    So

    Please, remember me
    Finally
    And all my uphill clawing
    My dear
    But if i make
    The pearly gates
    Do my best to make a drawing
    Of God and Lucifer
    A boy and girl
    An angel kissin on a sinner
    A monkey and a man
    A marching band
    All around the frightened trapeze swingers
