i wish i missed those days
like fuck afternoons that could never fade
and all that i think about
the whole time i forget not to
how nothing ever changed
do you remember when we useta steal bowling shoes
or drive nowhere
but i can see you cry
hanging out the front side of my window seat
i never it thought it meant that much but
mirror mirror on the wall
you teach me what i need to know
and why
do you remember when we useta steal bowling shoes
or drive nowhere
so cry for me and how i never changed
and how 1am by your swimming pool coulda put us all away
some nights i wish that i fell in
do you remember when we useta steal bowling shoes
or drive nowhere just to

you've got a failing personality
i'm crestfallen
i'm aware that you can see
its my problem
hang your head on him to dry
i promise not a sober eye
it didn't come as a surprise
i'm still losing you tonight
i count just two plus him makes three
you need to stay awhile
i got a fit to shift it all
from living in denial
battery
bloodshot, true and traipse
gun shy, its my way
moving like a stolen tree
dancing so unknowingly
i'm aware that i could see
that right now its
i count just two plus him makes three
you need to stay awhile
i got a fit to shift it all
from living in denial
battery
its just a chemical
its the wrong place at the wrong time
battery, etc.

i don't know if you'll understand
checking out ads far less perfect than you
you're grinning at everyone
dreaming of grandkids
i'm baring my teeth like you taught me
you're tryna run away
a slop Oz depart like a hideaway dream
you look me in my eyes
you tell me you're grey
you're everything
my everything
i'm competing with a ghost
and he has three years and a mouth full of memories
and you're ione skye in 1989
you look just like the world to me
you are shifted and shy
you are completely mine
is that cuz you need someone
or cuz you need me?
say anything
say everything to me
say everything
say anything to me
and when you laugh, you're giving me lines
all over my forehead
increasing in time
you sing everywhere that you run
well, maybe
so, maybe
but i can't ever sleep
so i'll lock you away til you're enclosed inside of me
but you're ione skye in 1989
you look just like the world to me
you are shifted and shy
you are completely mine
is that cuz you need someone
or cuz you need me?
say anything
or say everything to me
say everything
or say anything to me
if i could pick a muse
or if i could fall asleep
its of you i'd dream
cuz you're ione skye in 1989
you look just like the world to me
you are shifted and shy
you are completely mine
is that cuz you need someone
or cuz you need me?
say anything
say everything to me
say anything
say everything to me

I should clean out inside my head
or at least inside my car
crawling around, take aim at daydreams
and circling the stars
but the daydreams feel much better than the night
but still she haunts me, phantomwise
i loved you in a way no one had ever dared to
i kissed you in a way you can't resist
i'm asking you to come back to me so i could take it
away for one more night
and for your eyes
let's just get drunk and we'll talk about your sister
and how nothing could compare
crawling around inside and going nowhere
but the curls in your hair
and the daydreams they make me wanna cry
but still she haunts me, phantomwise
i loved you in a way no one had ever dared to
i kissed you in a way you can't resist
i'm asking you to come back to me so i could take it
away for one more night
and for your eyes

if the car stalls
if the car stalls
we'll burn that motherfucker to the ground
and if i was a liar then i'd teach you how to say
all the words you never said until you got away
and every time it stung
and how you turned me into clay
and if i was a leaver then i'd run away from you
and think of all the times you cried and how it got me through
feeling lost and restless
if you only knew
we'll take all of our never-haves
we'll throw em in the car
60 miles til empty
and exactly who we are
and while this shit is fading quick
i'll call you from the bar
oh i hope you know
cuz i'm a goddamn buffalo
and if you woulda called me then you'd know just where i stand
you coulda heard my voice one time and felt just who i am
like everything you meant to me
it all just fell in sand
and if you really mean it then you won't speak more to me
and run away from here for good and how i finally see
how you look so hopeful
how its not for me
we'll take all of our never-haves
we'll throw em in the car
16 miles til empty
and exactly who we are
and while this shit is fading quick
i'll call you from the bar
oh i hope you know
cuz i'm a goddamn buffalo
