the front bottoms—various lyrics sentence starters.

some lines adjusted to fit; feel free to change pronouns, proper nouns, etc. as needed

am i getting into heaven? there’s no fucking way.

i would sleep better on your floor than i ever would in my bed.

learn to accept that the things we have now are the best we've had yet.

your friends are here and they miss you, but they’ll eventually move on.

i will always think about you, ‘cause you remind me of who i am.

i’ve tried and i gave everything i had, but i just gave up.

what we have is nowhere near as good as what we should have by now.

it's okay to give up, 'cause nobody here could care less.

time is running out and i need to choose, the clock is moving faster than it used to.

they say face your fears, but i can't stop running.

i'm scared i'm gonna die as lonely as i feel.

it's okay if you're unhappy—just take a look around. there's no one here that's happy either.

the only thing that'd shut me up now is your hands around my throat.

if i tell you all my secrets, would you tell me all your lies?

i have stitched a mask of confidence and i wear it like a glove.

no one's going to listen ‘til you mean every word you say, so if you can't find the feeling, you better learn to lie—and if you know we're gonna fail, then there's little point to try.

i can't get what i need, and you're all i need.

there are certain things you ask of me, but there are certain things i lack.

you say i'm changing—sorry, i didn't know i had to stay the same.

i think you're changing, but don't worry—you don't have to stay the same.

i shouldn't feel like i have to protect you.

at my funeral, don't lie. tell them i didn’t want to die.

i understand that everybody's got their problems, but you seem to have a little more than anybody.

there are things i think we'll come to regret, and the majority of them are dealing with me.

i used to love the taste, i'd do anything for it—now i'd do anything to get the taste out of my mouth.

what about your friends? don't you love them enough to stay?

it probably won't get easier, just easier to hide—prepare for an aching the rest of your life.

i have this dream that i am hitting my dad with a baseball bat, and he is screaming and crying for help—and maybe halfway through it has more to do with me killing him than it ever did protecting myself.

i believe that, yeah, maybe no one's perfect—but i believe that you're pushing your luck.

there's no doubt in my mind that if you could, then you would try to crack my ribcage open and pull my heart right through.

i've been around long enough now to know that the good things never last.

how low is your self esteem? how low could it possibly be?

i know you're in love with me, and i've been ignoring you.

i’m alone only half of the time, and the other half, i’m only hiding.

i got miles to go 'til i ever get home, but the sound of your laugh and your voice on the phone makes me feel like i’m already there.

hey man, i love you, but no fucking way.

make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face.

the good thing about this cast is i can still hold a knife, so if you ever twist my arm again, i'll be sure to put up a fight.

the past few months were pretty rough; a couple times i wished we both were dead.

just try to appreciate what you got while you got it, so if it ever goes away, you can say you enjoyed it while it lasted.

i don't regret it—how could i? you were the best i ever had.

i wish i could pretend to be all of the things you think you see in me.

i don’t care if you’re not sorry; i forgive you.

the farther you go from where you start, the harder it is to get back.

just because something burns bright doesn't mean it's gonna burn forever.

don't feel bad for me, because i won't feel bad for you.

when i wake up, i think of you.

it doesn't get worse, and it doesn't get better; you just get old—it lasts forever.

no one saw me the way you did, and no one's seen me that way since.

i know that no news is good news, but that’s always felt backwards.

i’m bound by love, born to obey.

you are the truth i choose to bend myself around.

a long time ago i promised that if you were happy, then i was happy.

don't take it easy on the animal—i am the animal.

sometimes things work out perfectly when there's nothing to lose.

i don't know where i am, but i've been here before.

i'm sorry for your loss, there's not much i can do.

i could see myself dying for you.

we're both trying, you gotta give us that.

why don't you put your boxing gloves on and punch your punching bag, get some of this rage out you have deep inside of you—you’ll feel better, that's the point.

there was resentment built up that was never expressed properly.

you seem to see through whatever it is about me that's trying to be tough.

this is the fear i was born into, it somehow still affects me today.

it may or may not seem like you're leaving me behind, and it may or may not be always on my mind.

i don’t wanna put a curse on myself—i don’t wanna put a curse on you either.

you don't have to try so hard to not see me around.

the more you give, the worse it gets.

i wanna be good to the people that i love—i want them to think of me as someone that they can trust.

i wanna settle down—i want you to settle down with me.

" it sounds like you're saying bеautiful things to me. "

weird goodbyes

" there'll come a time i'll wanna know i was here. "

" i don't know why i don't try harder. "

" i feel like throwing things into the water. "

" get it down to nothing, everything that matters. "

" i've been going down some strange water. "

" move forward now, there's nothing to do. "

" i can't turn around, i can't follow you. "

" your coat's in my car, i guess you forgot. "

" it's crazy the things we let go of. "

" it finally hit me after a mile's drive. "

" the sky is leaking, my windshield's crying. "

" i'm feeling sacred, my soul is stripped. "

" the radio's painful, the words are clipped. "

" the grief, it gets me. "

" these are the weird goodbyes. "

" my car is creeping, i think it's dying. "

" i'm pulling over until it heals. "

" i'm on a shoulder of lemon fields. "

turn off the house

" put everything in boxes. "

" leave all the windows open, leave the beds unmade. "

" i've gone to see if i can find out what it means when my mind leaves my body. "

" turn off the house. "

" there's nothing you need to get back to. "

" there's no one you need to see. "

" leave all the messages blue, don't even look at the screen. "

" it's a full-body, gentle shutdown. "

" there are so many people to let down. "

" don't еven think about me. "

" you're bailing out. "

" you're free of it now. "

dreaming

" heaven came down like a blanket. "

" turn on the laugh track. "

" everyone knows you're a wreck. "

" you're nevеr this quiet, your smile is cracking. "

" you just haven't found what you'rе looking for yet. "

" let's see if it changes the scene. "

" maybe this is just the funniest version of us that we've ever been. "

" i think our feet are gonna slip. "

" i think our hands are gonna shake. "

" i think our eyes are gonna cry. "

" i think our hearts are gonna break. "

" maybe we'll never lighten up. "

" maybe this isn't gonna quit. "

" i think it's never coming back. "

" maybe we've always been like this. "

space invader

" it's a calculation i made a mistake on. "

" i never should have said it like i said. "

" it'll come to me later. "

" i won't be able to get it out of my head. "

" what if i'd never written the letter i slipped in the sleeve of the record i gave you? "

" what if I'd stayed on the c train until the end? "

" what if we'd never met? "

" what if i'd only just done what you told me, and never looked back? "

" what if i'd only ducked away down the hallway and faded to black? "

" it was too romantic, it was sad and frantic. "

" it was a paperback book in the storm drain. "

" it could go number one if i copied an earworm from a melody that i wish i'd had. "

" it's a quarter after four in the morning. "

" why'd i leave it like that? "

hornets

" what does it mean when your arms fall asleep? "

" how do you get rid of hornets before the weekend? "

" when did they say we should turn back the clocks? "

coat on a hook

" i ask the same questions to everyone i see. "

" where have you been? "

" what if they ask me about it? "

" where would i begin? "

" friendships are melting, nothing is helping. "

" nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen. "

" from the beginning, i've had you. "

" in my mind, i've been dеad slow swimming to you, in the dead low tide. "

" this isn't your problеm, believe me. "

" i know how i sound. "

" i don't feel like myself anymore, when you're not around. "

" it's been two years since i saw you. "

" you were telling me not to be so melodramatic. "

" you always come back from things like this. "

" everyone's missing. "

" it's like a confession with nobody listening. "

" it warms my face and gets my hands to open. "

" it's like it says on the prescription. "

tour manager

" do what you can to get me out of this plan tonight. "

" maybe you can say i wanted to make it, but i won't get back in time. "

" none of them are cheap. "

" how long can we keep on covering? "

crumble

" you say that it's true, but you don't know what to do. "

" i'm telling you that i'm sure; it can't wait anymore. "

" it's only because i love you. "

" i'm gonna crumble. "

" if you say it like that, i'll die. "

" if you say it like that, i'll probably cry. "

" if you say it like that and don't wanna take it back, i'm gonna crumble. "

" don't misread my words; sometimes, they're gonna hurt. "

" you say you're well aware of that, but you don't care. "

" get yourself ready to catch what you can of me. "

" get yourself ready to pick me up. "

" i said it without intention. "

" i just thought that i should mention it. "

" i want to see you soon. "

smoke detector

" all you need to do is protect her. "

" blink and bless her and let her rest. "

" don't let my memory dissolve. "

" make a list of your loved ones in order of height. "

" laugh at the blackbirds in the knack of the night. "

" why don't you let me lay here and listen to the distant sirens? "

" i wonder why they have a dog in the driver's seat. "

" it's getting closer no matter where we go. "

" sift through the slush and the ash and the dust for whatever stands out, for whatever reason. "

" maybe it's a laugh, or a rush, or a remembered feeling. "

" i don't know what it means, but i don't wanna leave it. "

" you'll know where it is whenever you need it. "

" i make a good argument, admit it. "

" you don't know how much i love you, do you? "

" let's just try to remember the best of us. "

" why don't you lay here and listen to distant sirens with me? "

" i wonder if they have a dog in the driver's seat. "

" you had me lay down for a temperature check, with the cool of your hand on the back of my neck. "

" i think i'm finally going crazy for real. "

" maybe they're better off leaving than staying in it alone. "

" you cried at the beach and recovered in seconds. "

" you wait around in a conversation, while i get in and start stumbling through it. "

" i was so distracted then, i didn't have it straight in my head. "

" i didn't have my face on yet or the role or the feel of where i was going with it all. "

" i was suffering more than i let on. "

" there's nothing stopping me now from saying all the painful parts out loud. "

" i got to my feet, feeling that i'd let you down. "

" i wanted to say it slow and perfect, but it all somehow got switched around. "

" something went off on its own. "

" it's my dumb, automatic chit-chat. "

" it's not what i meant to say at all. "

" there's no way you can attach me to that. "

" i got up to seize the day, with my head in my hands feeling strange. "

" all my thinking got mangled. "

" i caught myself talking myself off the ceiling. "

" i think the candy blue sky's messing with our brains. "

" we must have hit our heads. "

" don't expect familiar feelings. "

" no one knows what to talk about. "

" just come lay down here on the couch. "

" drop down out of the clouds you're in. "

" i'll go outside, cry, and come right back in. "

" i'll find you something fun to wear. "

" it goes along with all your feelings. "

" i can be your nurse or something. "

" hurry up, we don't have time. "

" there are avalanches in my mind. "

" i'm getting buried in this dream. "

" there's this one old idea i'm having. "

" we're stuck in a car wash somewhere and you can't stop laughing. "

" we're off the rails and no one's coming to get us. "

" i think i like it here, so i'm gonna let them forget us. "

the alcott

" i get myself twisted in threads. "

" i went to the corner in the back, where you'd always be, and here you are, sitting as usual. "

" i'm writing writing something about someone who used to be you. "

" the last thing i wanted is the first thing you'll do. "

" i tell you my problems, you tell me the truth. "

" it's the last thing you wanted, and it's the first thing i'll do. "

" i think i'm falling back in love with you. "

" i sat there silently, waiting for you to look up. "

" i smiled when i saw it was you. "

" i had to do something to break into you golden thinking. "

" how many times will you do this, and i'll still believe? "

" it's the last thing you wanted, but it's the first thing you'll do. "

" tell me, which side are you on, dear? "

" give me some tips to forget you. "

" you tell me your problems, and i tell you the truth. "

" have i become one of your problems? "

" could it be easy this once? "

" everything that's mine is a landmine. "
