lyrics

every night they pull me from our bed
strap me to a chair and pry back my eyelids
then they hit play on that projector screen
before my eyes every mistake is playing
until you kiss the back of my neck and say: "i'm here."
causing that whole scene to disappear

I'm still embarrassed of everything I do
except when I'm with you, except when I'm with you,
I still hate myself most the time it's true
except when I'm with you, except when I'm with you

we were driving home from a friend's party
when I began that night's autopsy
picking apart every word that I said
wondering aloud how I have any friends
when you slipped your hand in mine and said,
"baby, I swear that you were brilliant"
