Greatest Hits

I'd like to acquire your calm and confident charm
So I can throw it right back into your idealistic arms
I'll find that special magic sunscreen
That'll filter out the doubts
Until the water scrubs me and you see what I'm about

You know I'm probably like a flood when you've had nothing but rain
And if you're drowning I can't save you from more of the same
But all the same for what it's worth
I'd still like to try
So cross your heart and hope to die

This altercation gives my thoughts an overdose
The purest gold is what weighs you down the most
Don't blame yourself it's all the same I'll call it quits
I knew that name and we'd already had our greatest hits

I wish that I could know you
In the way I think I want to
You've got me off the deep end
Dressed up as a nervous human
It's all I've got to keep my head cool
No offense but I kind of like you

Your proximity it burns me to the third degree
Our hands now only parted by my synthesizer keys
I'm so easily defeated
So quickly undone
But I'm trying not to fly too close to the sun

I've got a fracture in my chest
Know that it's not just you I wish you all the best

I wish that I could know you
In the way I think I want to
You've got me off the deep end
Dressed up as a nervous human
It's all I've got to keep my head cool
No offense but I think I want you
It's all I've got to concede boldly
In another time or place if only

I'm over it
I wonder if you'd know
So watch me as I go

I wish that I could know you
In the way I think I want to
You've got me off the deep end
Dressed up as a nervous human
It's all I've got to keep my head cool
No offense but I almost need you
It's all I've got to concede boldly
In another time or place if only
