DON'T SELL TODAY TO BUY TOMORROW

i feel like a book 

set by your bed

unread in a stack

you forgot that you even had

those who build bridges

may cross them forever

but you're running out of time, 

you need to decide which side you're on.

be on my side.

come on.

don't sell today 

to buy tomorrow

oh my

caught in a lie

i believe you

cuz you ask me to

secrets

pillows all wet

you hide your eyes

so that i know you're crying

don't say you don't want me

don't say you don't want me

to hold you.

i feel like i'm picking up trash

on the side of the road with you

is this really all there is?

is this really all we're amounting to?

my father laid railroad

and fought in a war

people are dying

all over the whole world

when i look up crazy

there's a picture of us

i drew a line and i

need you to be on my side.

come on.

don't sell today 

to buy tomorrow.

deep breath

patient as death

i wait for you

cuz you want me to

so don't say you don't want me

don't say you don't want me

to hold you.

cuz i know it's not true

i hope it's not true

cuz i need you

cuz i need you
