how could I be happy on a day like today
when i can't even breathe
i should put myself away and run
how could i feel lucky gettin' what i just received
took it in the ass
all that gravel and broken glass
those are scars that last
does this make it over? i know.
come down, breathless heather -- i know
soggy little nothings, that's all they really are
rotted too long in there
better give them all some air
they're just lies
i have told a couple
now that's a lie right there, i've told so many more
but i'm not keeping score
god, i love your smile
does this make it over? i know.
come down, breathless heather -- i know

    i've always thought it was about trying to make up with your boyfriend/girlfriend after you've done something to hurt them.

    I love when he says "god, I love your smile..."

    I love that feeling when you're talking to someone you like a whole lot and you just have to pause and be like "wow. you are so cute."

    jonah is great. if you haven't seen onelinedrawing live you're missing out more than just a show.
