Intentions 04:10
Hadn't seen you in months When I stayed with you this summer It was so hot there I wanted to leave Just sweating on each other for two weeks And now I'm at home laying in the sun And I want that feeling back But I don't tan I just burn So please nobody touch me Should've known it wouldn't be the same I painted my sky the color of your eyes I just wanted you to see me I painted my sky the color of your eyes I just wanted you to see me I'm surprised every time I see that scar on your index I'll never know what memory's left in there And my imagination can't convince me anymore That you're holding me, these hands don't compare Should've known it wouldn't be the same Cause everything I love must change I painted my sky the color of your eyes I just wanted you to see me I painted my sky the color of your eyes I just wanted you to see me Good intentions But those only lead me to the past I painted my sky the color of your eyes I just wanted you to see me My freckled body, evidence of how I've changed Clusters of memories in tiny galaxies Flashes of feelings I can only chase Blurred specks like distant stars Like good intentions that don't matter today Cause all the stars I see are in the past All the stars I see are in the past All the things I love have got to change No, nothing that I love can stay the same And I should've known And I should've known that it wouldn't be the same Yeah I painted my sky the color of your eyes I just wanted you to see me Yeah I painted my sky the color of your eyes I just wanted you to see me I just wanted you to see me

I always need someone there To hold my hands when I get scared And count my fears And count my fears But I feel afraid to ask And I feel shameful once it's passed So I'll sit here So I'll sit here This past year I don't feel right So I think it might be best To hold them tight To hold them tight Cause everything I touch goes away Goes into the ground Cause everything I touch will end some day Will end some day I always need someone there To use their hands an extra pair To count my fears To count my fears I'll have to choose the ten I need And store the others somewhere deep And my genetics will give up half the key So it's time to end it all Because I can no longer stall The passing on of the evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me Everything I touch goes into the ground And everyone I touch, I hurt somehow And everyone I touch, I hurt somehow And everyday I cause pain And everything I do will last too long And everything I love will end some day I'm a carbon cannibal, consumption as fact There are consequences for all of my actions I'm a carbon cannibal, consumption as fact And there are consequences for all of my actions But everything I touch goes into the ground And everyone I touch, I hurt somehow And everyone I touch, I hurt somehow And everyday I cause pain And everything I do will last too long And everything I love will end some day So it's time to end it all Because I can no longer stall The passing on of the evil inside me I won't want to be here anyway I could stop it all today I could stop it all today The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me The evil inside me
