this is everything i didn't say

eighty-six

picture this:

rooftop in a lightning storm 'cause it's not like i care

and wishing you were here

picture this:

another rooftop- but this time yours

scared to death because i used to fear that sort of thing

and laughing like you'd be around forever

picture this:

i'm sitting on top of my mom's car in a walmart parking lot

and i'm trying to make this sound pretty

picture this:

it's not

this is just me pretending it's safe to be here

and thinking about the time we went swimming in a storm

picture this:

i cared back then, enough to tell you it was a bad idea

but i ended up giving in anyway

picture this:

if you asked me now i'd be the first one in the water

we're practically lightning rods but at least we'll light up the night sky
