ANYBODY HAVE A MAP ? ‘ can we try to have an optimistic outlook ? ’ ‘ we’re not giving up before we’ve tried ! ’‘ hey , i know ! you can go around today and ask the other kids to sign your cast ! ’ ‘ i’m proud of you already . ’ ‘ i’m kinda coming up empty ! ’ ‘ does anybody have a map ? ’ ‘ you are not missing the first day . ’ ‘ i already said i’d go tomorrow . ’ ‘ he’s probably high . ’ ‘ he’s definitely high . ’ ‘ i don’t want you going to school high ! ’ ‘ perfect , so i won’t go . thanks mom ! ’ WAVING THROUGH A WINDOW ‘ i’ve learned to slam on the break before i’ve even turned the key . ’ ‘ give them no reason to stare . ’ ‘ no slippin’ up if you slip away . ’ ‘ step out of the sun if you keep getting burned . ’ ‘ will i ever be more than i’ve always been ? ’ ‘ i try to speak but nobody can hear . ’ FOR FOREVER ‘ all we see is sky . ’ ‘ let the world pass by . ’ ‘ feels like we could go on for forever this way .. ’ ‘ wouldn’t that be cool ? ’ ‘ there’s nothing that we can’t discuss , like girls we wish would notice us but never do . ’ ‘ i’m on the ground . ’ SINCERELY , ME ‘ we’ve been way too out of touch ! ’ ‘ things have been crazy , and it sucks that we don’t talk that much . ’ ‘ but i should tell that you i think of you each night .. ’ ‘ why would you write that ? ’ ‘ i’m just trying to tell the truth ! ’ ‘ this needs to be perfect ! ’ ‘ life without you has been hard . ’ ‘ each days another fight . ’ ‘ just fix it ! ’ ‘ i’ll try to be more nice . ’ ‘ i’ll turn it around , wait and see ! ’ ‘ just try to take deep breaths and go on walks . ’ ‘ dude , i’m proud of you . ’ ‘ just wait and see ! ’ ‘ what the hell ? ’ ‘ my bad . ’ ‘ but not because we’re gay . ’ ‘ the only man that i love is my dad . ’ ‘ well , anyway ... ’ ‘ all that it takes is a little reinvention ! ’ ‘ all you gotta do is just believe you can be who you want to be . ’ REQUIEM ‘ why should i play this game of pretend ? ’ ‘ i could curl up and hide in my room . ’ ‘ why should i have a heavy heart ? ’ ‘ why should i start to break in pieces ? ’ ‘ i gave you the world , you threw it away . ’ ‘ i’ll keep you with me . ’ ‘ don’t tell me that i didn’t have it right . ’ IF I COULD TELL HER ‘ he thought you were awesome . ’ ‘ there’s nothing like your smile . ’ ‘ you never knew how wonderful that smile could make someone feel . ’ ‘ and though he wanted to , he couldn’t talk to you . ’ ‘ did he say anything else ? ’ ‘ never mind , i don’t really care anyways -- ’ ‘ he said so many things , i’m just trying to remember the best ones ! ’ ‘ she’s everything to me . ’ ‘ i don’t know how to even start . ’ ‘ he just seemed so far away . ’ ‘ what do you do if the distance is too wide ? ’ ‘ it’s like i don’t know anything . ’ DISAPPEAR ‘ we’re just the losers who keep waiting to be seen . ’ ‘ i mean , no one seems to care . ’ ‘ no one deserves to be forgotten . ’ ‘ no one deserves to fade away . ’ ‘ you still matter . ’ ‘ if you never get around to doing some remarkable thing , that doesn’t mean that you’re not worth remembering . ’ ‘ i need to show them . ’ ‘ all you really want is for someone to find you . ’ YOU WILL BE FOUND ‘ have you ever felt like nobody is there ? ’ ‘ let that lonely feeling wash away . ’ ‘ maybe there’s a reason to believe you’ll be okay . ’ ‘ even when the dark comes crashing through , when you need someone to carry you , when you’re broken on the ground .. you will be found . ’ ‘ i don’t understand , what happened ? ’ ‘ we’re not alone , none of us . ’ ‘ you’ll reach up and you’ll rise again . ’ ‘ the morning is breaking . ’ TO BREAK IN A GLOVE ‘ i bought this a thousand years ago . ’ ‘ i thought we might play catch , or .. i don’t know . ’ ‘ shaving cream . ’ ‘ shaving cream ? ’ ‘ it just takes a little patience . ’ ‘ what do you think ? ’ ONLY US ‘ i don’t need you to sell me on reasons to want you . ’ ‘ you don't have to be scared you're not enough . ‘ ‘ i don't need more reminders of all that's been broken . ‘ ‘ so what if it’s us ? ’ ‘ the rest of the world fades away . ’ ‘ what do you say ? ’ ‘ if you like me for me and nothing else .. ’ ‘ well, that's all that I've wanted for longer than you could possibly know . ’ GOOD FOR YOU ‘ is it good ? ’ ‘ are they giving you a world i could never provide ? ’ ‘ well i hope you’re proud of your big decision . ’ ‘ well , i’m sorry you had it rough . ’ ‘ i’m sorry i’m not enough . ’ ‘ does it cross your mind to be slightly sorry ? ’ ‘ do you even care that you might be wrong ? ’ ‘ go ahead, you can cut me loose . ’ ‘ is that good for you ? ‘ ‘ all i need is some time to think . ’ ‘ tell me how could i change the story ? ‘ ‘ stop it , stop it ! ’ ‘ just let me out ! ’ WORDS FAIL ‘ i never meant to make it such a mess . ’ ‘ there’s nothing i can say . ’ ‘ i guess i thought i could be part of this . ’ ‘ this was just a sad invention . it wasn’t real , i know . ’ ‘ but we were happy . ’ ‘ no , i’d rather pretend i’m something better than these broken parts . ’ ‘ i never let them see the worst of me . ’ ‘ all i ever do is run . ’ SO BIG / SO SMALL ‘ i told you not to come outside . ’ ‘ and the house felt so big , and i felt so small . ’ ‘ i knew there’d be space i couldn’t fill . ’ ‘ no matter what , i’ll be here . ’
