I'm going to gather all the presents you've ever given me
sew them into my clothes
I can't stand to see a single souvenir
from the times when I was wanted gold
I'm going to take every chance you've ever offered me
try to catch you unaware
I don't care if that's not completely honest
your guilt tripping's just as unfair
can't we salvage anything at all?
why let it go to waste?
every breath's a waste of breath if you break away
I'm going to gather all the presents you've ever given me
I'm going to stand on the railing over the river
wondering wether I'd still float
I'll go out drinking and call you up at three am
you won't answer your phone
I'll sit and cry and look at myself in the mirror
to see how much I've aged since we last spoke
can't we salvage anything at all?
why let it go to waste?
every breathe a waste of breathe if you break away
what's the worth if we're the first forever
with this precise thing
I wonder if we'll last any longer than random memories
can't we salvage anything
why let it go to waste?
every breathe a waste of breathe if you break away
