I still think about your purple hair you were happy anywhere I wish you were here with me tonight reminiscing about those purple eyes there won't be anymore pain I'll still shelter you from the rain darling we'll be safe in the colors of the night I'll do anything to make you feel fine you and I alone in the colors of the dark darling it's just us covered by the stars

indecisive 03:43
you said we could never be more than friends but why do I still hold you while you sleep? you said we could never make this work then you say you don't want me to leave love for you is too mainstream, but you say baby don't leave me you don't wanna catch feelings, but you can't sleep without me love for you is too mainstream, but you say baby don't leave me you say a man is not what you need, you cry and say baby don't leave me

you say there's no such thing as love you'd rather sleep alone and love yourself you say you're content without someone's touch if I spoke up you'll tell me to go to hell if I told you I love you so would that stop you from being so cold? if I told you I love you so would that make you want me more? you cry too much but you still don't want love nothing's good enough, you won't accept my love

back then 03:51
dreamed of you last night, held you in my arms so close, so close we could've been more than friends but I fucked up, fucked up I thought this would last, we were very close for so long, so long I still dream of you, you're always holding me so close, so close if I could go back, I would change those things I said to you now those days are gone, all I want is to go back to you
5.
lost 03:32
if you were here, I'd apologize for those things I said to you I wish I could go back to holding your hand I wish I could go back and be with you now I'm all alone, still dreaming of you girl you know I can't live with myself I know you can't hear me through this dreary song baby it's a lonely cry for help I know you're gone your embrace felt like home why do I feel so lost? how can I go on alone?

ghost 03:57
why is everyone having so much fun? its so difficult to find the one is there something to occupy my brain? would I be cured if I had more fame? now it's 3 am and I'm still awake I wish these thoughts would go away why do I feel like a ghost in this room? why can't I be more like you? I'm so jealous of everyone why can't I be like everyone? could you take this emptiness away? please tell me it'll be okay
7.
winter of 14, you were turning 16 all our friends were at your place, we were there on your special day you were the life of the party, there for you, you were so happy I remember so vividly, you said I don't want you to leave your birthday party in december too bad it won't last forever we weren't thinking about our future who knew that things would change months after

ghost girl 04:57
where are you now? where did you go? walked into the night do you feel alone? I only saw you once will you appear again? would you comfort me? when will this end? ghost girl in the night are you lonely tonight? ghost girl in the night will I see you in future nights? where are you now? I don't wanna be alone in this town

about

Nostalgia is something we think of as fuzzy. But it's pain. Pain concerning the past.
-Peter Carey

Some days in late August at home are like this, the air thin and eager like this, with something in it sad and nostalgic and familiar...
-William Faulkner
