melba

after the storm breaks

fluorescence radiates off

skin overflowing with underexposure

this was a shit day

can't power through the haze

i'm tired of waiting for it to be over

let's go back to melbourne

we can start over because

mistakes get forgotten

dreams can be remembered

after your heart breaks

ears ring and colors fade

and everyone smiling feels like an intruder

and you're drawn

to the word that came out wrong

as if all along you weren't ignoring the truth: you're a loser

let's go back to melbourne

we can start over because

mistakes get forgotten

dreams can be remembered

so go on

listen to some stupid song

and pretend to sing along

and try remembering

what i'd think was smart when i was young

where my memory makes me strong

but the record shows me dumb

and breaking everything

oh

i paid the price for being wrong

i'm alone in this mess and a blizzard's coming on

i'm alone in this mess and a blizzard's coming on

go back to melbourne

we can start over

mistakes get forgotten

dreams get remembered
