Duration: P00H04M04S
Description: Fun Fact(s): I still can't seem to shave my kneecap entirely. My cheeks hurt from smiling too much (I guess that I don't smile enough in normal circumstances). And lastly, I know you can't sleep "inside" a back seat, but you know... you can sleep INSIDE a car, ON the backseat. I often use poetic license liberally :-)

Fun Fact(s): I still can't seem to shave my kneecap entirely. My cheeks hurt from smiling too much (I guess that I don't smile enough in normal circumstances). And lastly, I know you can't sleep "inside" a back seat, but you know... you can sleep INSIDE a car, ON the backseat. I often use poetic license liberally :-)

lyrics

I shave my legs now every day. I'll never miss that spot on my kneecap again, okay? It was much to easy to let go of; you can only give so much of yourself until you're gone completely. The only thing I ever wanted out of my life was someone who would risk theirs, just to show me that they care, and oh god, you do, every day, and I know can't deserve you. If I did, don't you think things would be different and I would not be sleeping beside and with myself? I would not be spitting in the eyes of everyone else who tries to get closer, or gain some closure. I am stuck. He has filled holes in my heart. My cheeks hurt when I am with you. The pain is pristine. And I have shown you around my hometown, under stars and drunk off drinks. Waking up inside the backseat on a hot September morning. It makes no difference if you're warned and do not heed the warning. And I trust you trust enough to know I won't let you drown. And I trust you trust enough to know I won't let you down. Is this what falling in love again feels like?
