lyrics

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
