(“It’s all happening”) Close the door behind you On your way out Lindsey’s been home for months trying to find herself Just a yellow shade of gloom She couldn’t bring to throw away So they built a house around her room And that’s where she’ll always stay (She’ll always stay.) Close the door behind you Leave us no doubt I’ve been working longer days hoping you might be found Now that yellow shade of gloom Has turned to darker shades of gray I’m growing selfish in this city And that’s where I’ll always stay (I’ll always stay) I can still remember When she used to say “Let’s run away to Morocco or Paris We’ll spеak in transatlantic And pretend that we’rе famous” Close the door behind you Nothings changed now She’s used to floral pattern dresses from Those hand me downs And that yellow shade of gloom Is now a distant memory We felt so permanent together But we knew we couldn’t stay All those nights spent Listening to our parents records It meant everything But you were too afraid to say “Let’s run away to Morocco or Paris We’ll speak in transatlantic And pretend that we’re famous” Can you see it all now? We could all live together in One big house Not here, somewhere nice Where the summer smiles all the time And there’s no lies We can pick up where we left off in a past life “Let’s run away to Morocco or Paris We’ll speak in transatlantic And pretend that we’re famous” Still you got to go already But you just got here now Close the door behind you On your way out

I hear you’re going back to therapy Taking pills to balance moods as a daily routine All while reflecting on those old days But youre still unsure if youre happy Cause somewhere in between that walk from the Circa Survive concert We stopped to talk in a retro 50s diner You want a future that involved both of us But how can I save you when I can’t even save myself? (It’s ok to be here for the moment) (It’s ok to be here) I don’t blame you for the disconnеct Or that birthday card you never sent Evеntually we had to move on and mend I never said that I was heaven sent (It’s ok to be here for the moment) (It’s ok to be here) Oh my god It happened again I’m becoming a coward with a 9 month attention span Maybe it’s all I am (Maybe it’s all I am) How can I save you, when I can’t even save myself? (It’s ok to be here for the moment) (It’s ok to be here)

(I hope you know This was all my fault after all I hope you know I used to be normal) Curtains closed To trap the dark inside my room While I lay ontop a bed that Ruins bodies while they sleep I can feel it coming on Staring at the ceiling Place my hand against my chest To slow down breathing (I hope you know This was all my fault after all I hope you know I used to be normal) The drugs only make it worse This sickness I created Stems from a self hatred Im at a party with my friends And were drinking to forget Maybe this is what they meant When they said werе all born broken (I hope you know This was all my fault after all I hopе you know I used to be normal)
