THE HAPPIEST (PLEASE SAY YES)

don't wanna breathe if i can't breathe right when you're breathing
don't wanna sleep if where i sleep you're not there dreaming next to me
there's an impossible emotion on your face i know i'd never guess
standing in the rain and freezing half to death
disbelief i'd risk my heart again but i confess
this emptiness it terrifies so please say yes
please say yes
and make me the happiest

when i close my eyes
i'm just an architect pulling one over on the home inspector
shouldering this shaky found nation's foundation
all the cracks and exposed wiring tucked neat behind the sofa and the carpeting
a sucker for the marketing
i can see my breath it turns a golden blue with silver tones
this cold september evening feel the poison in these anecdotes
and i still hear the crowd they're cheering as the water pipes are bursting
maybe this town'll finally flood
pick em all up and they'll rise above
their silly li(v)es and all their troubles
nothing left here but each other
and a great white sky
when i close my eyes
