There's a fog in the park as we walk in the dark
And I'm still waiting for you
Baby you've got the time to be naive
Cause the whole world is praying for you
And I can't help but wonder if you do the things you do
Cause it terrifies you deeply what your heart might to to you
Well I don't have time to be naive
There's no better I can do
I'm not sure what I'm doing here
Waiting for you to move
Back and forth, do the wrong thing, right thing
Don't tell me we can't live, that we can't lose
Dead weight in my arms as we look at the stars
In the night sky clouded blue
Can't open my soul, I might up and go
There's plenty more to go for you
And I can't help but wonder if you do the things you do
Cause you just can't fight the feeling but you're too afraid to lose
Well I don't have time to let this be
And I can't keep waiting for you
I'm not sure what I'm doing here
Waiting for you to move
Back and forth, do the wrong thing, right thing
Don't tell me we can't live, that we can't lose
Never saw a red flag, didn't think it would hurt
Little did I know then, we're both so stubborn
Never saw a red flag, didn't think it'd get worse
Just scared you'll do to me what you'd done to her
So I'm not sure what I'm doing here
Waiting for you to move
Back and forth, do the wrong thing, right thing
Don't tell me we can't live, that we can't lose

He rolls off your tongue like a bonfire
Consonants clicking like sparks
It's like home
It's the best thing you've known
To be in love with a two-headed boy
And to never be alone
His lips kiss the air with abandon
Filling the room with his breath
It's a mess
Spit's all over our necks
To be in love with a two-headed boy
Is to pine for all you get
And while you are afraid of the morning
He is afraid of the dark
So often he leaves without warning, cause he knows
That he still has your heart
Your eyes are to him a blue beacon
Who'll always be found in the storm
It's luck you're alive
On that ocean dark and wide
To be in love with a two-headed boy
Is to always watch him hide
Your hands never seem to make landfall
Your hopes they float up in the air
It's unfair
Bring him home, hear my prayer
To be in love with a two-headed boy
Is to never know who's there
And while you are afraid of the morning
He is afraid of the dark
So often he leaves without warning, cause he knows
That he still has your heart

If only you could swallow sadness
instead of chewing it up and letting it go bitter in your mouth
take it as it comes and let it leave your body
instead of letting it turn you inside out
But you'd rather have a lost girl, the ocean in her eyes
cause you want to be the one to always make things right
hoping you'll be better if you see her through the night
but you can't kill inner darkness with just outward light
And no one else can save her
there's only so much you can do to help
no she's got to save herself
You're seeking out salvation under a blanket
you're seeking out salvation in the pews of a church
deliverance from evil won't require changing people
if only you knew what you deserve
But no one else can save you
there's only so much she can to do help
no you've got to save yourself
And if love is an ocean
what we had was a pool
the chlorine stung my eyes
and made me tired and sick of you
I hope you find your ocean
cause right now you're in the rain
staring at the wrinkles on your fingers with disdain
And no one else can save you
there's only so much we can to do help
no you've got to save yourself
no you've got to save yourself.
