monday

To wake up hurt
But I've heard
That it will hurt many Mondays more
In the middle of traffic I
Guess we had just had it
Yellow cab
Screaming my name
And I go insane
Because I'd rather be awake and in pain
And I go insane
Because I'd rather feel alive
Than being in a bubble of protection all day
Brooklyn, you have never shined so bright
As when I watched you
From the east side that night
And I'm replaying every line in my mind
How could we let the world define
When and how and where to draw the line
But it's alright
That I walk on the line 'cause they've got my back
And it's alright
That I look at what was there and then get scared
And then I get scared that when I fall asleep
My brain will eat my memories
I'm so scared
I've lost my best friend
Scared that I won't feel again
Scared that when I wash my sheets
That will take away from me
The last bit I've got to keep
'Cause it's the last bit I've got to keep
Moving on in abc town
I am so close but yet so far away on the ground
And I see strangers
And they are pouring out their hearts
The taste of saltwater makes me so sick by now
And it's only by now
That I need a friend to step in
And it's only by then
When I surrender to it all
My head's on my pillow, my phone lights up
And you call
