Paradise at a Cost

I just wanna talk to you

See what you’ve been up to

But when I reach out

You push my arms back in

I just wanna talk to you

Like we used to

Sitting on the couch for hours

Having good conversations

You probably think I’m a player

And I know I’m not your shooting star

I miss your Indian eyes

And how you used to try
But candles can’t control fate

And now I’m just bent out of shape

From crazy pills and crazy times

I would die for just one line
It seems we haven’t talked since 65 million years ago

When the world as we knew it ended

There’s probably a lesson hidden in there somewhere

But I’m just an idiot savant

Who stops while trying to start

I guess it’s hopeless to reach out to you

Cause you think you know

All there is to know about me

I say that’s impossible when I’m still learning how to be me
I just want to talk to you

See if life loves you

I think you deserve all of the best

I guess I’m just trying to keep my heart in my chest

Because every time I’ve tried to let it out

It was determined that I should not

After all, the only thing I need is the future

Where age is of no matter

And thought can be harnessed like a titanium steed

I just know it doesn’t give me what I need

Give me what I miss

It doesn’t give me what I’ve always wished

May all your family’s birthdays be full of bliss

Even if they don’t include me

I’ll never stop loving you

And I’ll never be free
