I wanna leave my heart in the lost and found
Hoping it'll find a better chest than the one it has now
If I just left and was never found
Would you go out and look for me?
The tracks on the ground
Lead you from the door in my basement
All around the empty places we find peace
I never wanna cause you any pain
I only wanna be the sigh of relief
That you give when you finally get the joke
It wasn't supposed to be funny
But at least what I hope is that
The search party ends on day two, or day three
And you can finally give up on looking for me
My whole body is held together by
Safety pins and fragile things
And the empty promises of new beginnings
And after 20 years of feeling hurt and misused
Safety pins and fragile things
Are the only things that tie me to you
Safety pins and fragile things
Are the only things
I see ghosts and I smell roses
Picket fences, Targets closing
Sit in the car with me
Let's talk about 2018
We'll probably spend some nights just talking
About life on Mars or something
And how I'd love to get abducted
Shoot for the stars and you'll find nothing
Call off the search on day two, or day three
And you can finally give up on looking for me
My whole body is held together by
Safety pins and fragile things
And the empty promises of new beginnings
And after 20 years of feeling hurt and misused
Safety pins and fragile things
Are the only things that tie me to you
Safety pins and fragile things
Are the only things
I can never be alone with you
'Cause I'm afraid of all the stupid shit I'd say
Can you strap me to a missile
And fire me lightyears away?
I can never be honest with you
I'm afraid of all the stupid shit I've done
Can you strap me to a missile
And fire me lightyears away?
I can never be honest with you
I'm afraid of all the stupid shit I'd say
Can you strap me to a missile
And fire me lightyears away?
