she looked pretty even keeled if you looked from afar
her makeup barely covered up her blatant reactions to songs as she mumbled the words if she knew them at all
she looked pretty damn full from all the meals in her car
the time she spent driving chasing constant attractions added up and the math in her head was getting harder to solve
twelve tattoos in the entire home
the perfect situation to display on the surface
but she knew that only cooler heads could ever come to a crawl
it took a crowded little haven to be so alone
a polished reputation could it really be worthless? she thought as she filled in all the cracks in the living room wall
i gotta feeling gotta feeling that she won’t be around
cause she talks in her sleep, she talks without making a sound
i gotta feeling that I’m seeing what she’s looking through
cause she talks in her sleep, she talks about being with you
hopscotch on the pavement lead to broken bones
she should have licked her wounds with a sharper palate
but the salt in her mouth was just enough to remind her
if she ever asked around then she would have known
now she’s picking at her nails with a rubber mallet
and nobody found the letters she was leaving behind her
i gotta feeling gotta feeling that she won’t be around
cause she talks in her sleep, she talks without making a sound
i gotta feeling that I’m seeing what she’s looking through
cause she talks in her sleep, she talks about being with you
