"Please get comfortable," she says
As she scatters around the bed
The ashes of something dead
I see myself, like some subtitled boy
I turn off the TV and the curtain falls

I needed some company
Someone to take me apart
So I'll never be the same anymore
There's a girl here at the door
I made it all up for company
So it doesn't break my heart

"You can do anything you want
Just don't kiss me," she says
And all the things you never meant
Suddenly fill my head
Never knew that sometimes you have to close your eyes
Never knew what to do when you can't even cry

Tell Theresa and Steve I just found out
Sticky summer mornings, strawberries and tea
These are things that a boy remembers
And though it's hard to forget
I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying I'm trying so hard...
