Knee Highs

i came at night to find you
you fell asleep at some dump
cheating on me with my best friend
this bedroom pop is useless
i'm just some kid in his apartment
making something
your love still haunts my nightmares
it grows and spawns in my breath
i was afraid of your heart
i can't keep doing this to myself
my cheeks are always blood-red
my chest was caving in
and it was you that brought me back
but the gates were left open
so, we fled until the end
i was falling
and everything around
were things that i paid more attention too
and they were falling with me
all the things i took a double-take on
going down the same slippery slope as me
there didn't seem to be an end of it
it such a long while
such a long-lasting event
that i forgot how it began
then at once - so suddenly
an arm reached out
and i remembered who i am
and how i got there
because my chest was caving in
and it was you that brought me back.
