Fractions - Emery

One and three, you are here

(One and three, you’re here)

To tell me we can’t do this

(To tell me we can’t do this)

Three for three, I’ll disagree

Anymore

Your hair and face against the mirror

As I take the steps to save what’s left of me

Someone’s out when it’s over

People steal from you

And they take anything they choose

It’s good to see you

I missed you last night

That’s such a lovely color

It goes with your eyes

Before we fall asleep

I just wanted to say

This all seems so easy

But there’s choices to make

Can’t decide, then look at the faces

(Candlelight)

We’re burning the pages

(Ask us why)

And hurting ourselves with this false start

(Resign yourself)

And we pretend (and always be)

It simply gets easier (Without the one)

But it doesn’t get easier (thing you need)

(Reading words with no replies)

When we have these mornings where we can’t say goodbye

I wanted to mean everything to you

But this isn’t right

You keep coming back disassembled and I

Keep losing this fight

I won’t answer…

Dancing under starlight glow

No one in the city knows

Confidence can take you

Nerves try to shake you

From going all the way

It’s not that far…

It’s good to see you

I missed you last night

That’s such a lovely color

It goes with your eyes

Before we fall asleep

I just wanted to say

This all seems so easy

But there’s choices to make

We watch the tide roll in

With cold air and coffeecakes

Holding our words at lips

Stopping the sounds they make

We know the way to go

We know each step to take

To be here

These words with no replies

Stopping we’s, starting I’s

This need is killing me

And taking me over

I wanted to mean everything to you

But this isn’t right

You keep coming back disassembled and I

Keep losing this fight
