This isn't good morning, this is gracious bad news
I was calling to scar you with what I'm about to do
You burned your sorrows and I burned mine too
But you kept the ashes and now they're keeping you

What's it like to be honest, honestly happy
And say all the things that you know that you're thinking?
What's it like to be honest, honestly happy
And say all the things that you know that you're thinking?
I don't need anyone or anything
Between you and me is a distance that I bridge with sleep, so

I'm cutting clearly and straight to your room
Crawling your bed to that windowless view
Cause these blankets and sheets will bury me
If I let myself go to your father's beliefs
"You will always be the boy who stumbled in too soon," she said
"You will always be the boy that stumbled in too soon," she said
What's it like to be honest, honestly happy
And say all the things that you know that you're thinking?
What's it like to be honest, honestly happy?

I don't need anyone or anything
Between you and me is a distance that I bridge with sleep, so
(Between you and me)
I want it so badly but I have to break
The promise I made for your front porch that day
(Between you and me)
I spent last night talking secrets and graves
A place that my promise has now wormed its way

And your parents were on your front lawn screaming
I'm the kid that's keeping you lost
And I could never be what you want
I could never, I could never
And your parents were on your front lawn screaming
I'm the kid that's keeping you lost
I could never be what you want
I could never, I could never
And your parents were on your front lawn screaming
I'm the kid that's keeping you lost
And I could never be what you want.
I could never, I could never
