Open And Shut

I don't care that much for anything
Except for your face in the morning
Election posters hanging off the summer nights
We're never getting back
And I'll never need a millennium
It's just some new years to miss you in
In twenty years, or thirty years
Or just next week when we won't feel the same
If you dive into the sea
You won't be that far in front of me
Read through old texts like they're poetry
Open and shut like the book that you never read
If you're going out will you go with me?
The person I always wanted to be
Sometimes I feel just like her and other times
I really can't relate
If you dive into the sea
You won't be that far in front of me
Read through old texts like they're poetry
Open and shut like the book that you never read
I got into a fight last week
With somebody much, much, much tougher than me
And it didn't come naturally
So I let her win, telling stories in harmony
I felt at one point everyone was there
Now I'm left picking my dreams off the stairs
I felt at one point everyone was here
Now I'm just left on my own with the fear
And it doesn't get easier, it only gets worse
But you always said I could handle the hurt
No it doesn't get easier, it only gets worse
But you always said I could handle the hurt
I can handle it
I can handle it
I can handle it
