Never Let Me In

I used to spend my days pulling swords out of stones
Defending the castle you built
And I stood guard at those doors
Just to make sure the credit was yours
I save my hardest problems for you
brought you puzzles with the pieces gone
I’d panic and you’d do magic
And there was nothing that you couldn’t fix
With a shrug you’d rebuild kingdoms
Brick by brick
But you, you never let me in
You left me standing on the outside looking in
Wondering if I’d ever know who you were or who you’d been
You’ll never let me in
Collected all the compliments you gave me
And the list of every joke you’d ever made
I’d live for years on nothing but scraps
Never asked the one question I wanted to ask
Separate but inseparable
You with your confidence and me with my doubts
Electric is how this should start
But you were the head and I was the heart
But you, you never let me in
You left me standing on the outside looking in
Wondering if I’d ever know who you were or who you’d been
You’ll never let me in
And don’t you ever stop to think about what might have been?
What could we have been?
And don’t you ever stop to think about what might have been?
What could we have been?
But you, you never let me in
You left me standing on the outside looking in
Wondering if I’d ever know who you were or who you’d been
You’ll never let me in and you’re not coming in
You’re never coming in

Down the Wire

I’ll never cease to feel that gaze
Cast upon my, a beaming sun
I heard the footsteps run
I think I’ll meet you after class
If the bell ever rings again
It’s from the makers in my head
And I swear to God I’ve found a way
And today is that day
I don’t know if I should leave with them
But I ain’t no chicken
Burn it off, popped again
And that’s how it ends
There’s no escaping chaos now
I’ve finally found the time to spend
On all of my rounds
So phone a doctor and phone your mom, yes
A buddy’s friend went awol
Was it the guy from study hall?
And I swear to God I’ve found a way
And today is that day
I don’t know if I should leave with them
But I ain’t no chicken
Burn it off, popped again
And that’s how it ends
More headlines down the wire
Just for you to read
More headlines down the wire
Just for you to weep
And I swear to God I’ve found a way
And today is that day
I don’t know if I should leave with them
But I ain’t no chicken
Burn it off, popped again
But that’s how it ends
Hell yeah, I’m off again
But that’s how it ends
Burn it off popped again
That’s how it ends
