MFEO - Jack's Mannequin

I swim across an ocean

It’s my matress in the basement

I’m sweatin' out excuses

That would make your stomach turn

The road we drove last night

Stretched from the desert

To Las Vegas

We filled our cups and lit one up

The snow began to burn

Maybe

We were made

We were made for each other

Is it possible

For the world to look this way forever?

I talked so much

I’m sure I didn’t realize I’d gone crazy

Didn’t catch my bloody nose

Or that my heart tried to explode

I still live with my High School friends

Some people never change at all

We’re still the same impulsive drunks

We were when we were small

Someone get this man to a hospital

Maybe

We were made

We were made for each other

Is it possible

For the world to look this way forever?

And I’m, a long way

From my firework days

But I still like to burn, burn, burn

I’m always

In the haze of a car crash

The orange airbag dust covers everything

Everything

Maybe

We were made

We were made for each other

Is it possible

For the world to look this way forever?

You can breathe

You can breathe now

You can breathe

But the air is running out

You can breathe

You can breathe now

You can breathe

But the air is running out on you

You waited for me in the rain

In the parking lot

Cold hands

Lips blue

Clothes stuck to you

You could have phoned me for a ride

It’s a mess out there

you said the rain’s the rain

Some air’d be good for you

(You can breathe)

(You can breathe now)

Well good for you

(You can breathe)

(But the air is running out)

You get in my car

Where its warm

You cannot forget

skin new

Hands true

My hands all over you

so what’s another night

The seat’s rolled back, they can’t see

The rain’s the rain

Some air’d be good for you

You can breathe

You can breathe now

You can breathe

But the air is running out

You can breathe

You can breathe now

You can breathe

But the air is running out on you

And you walked for miles

Down the shores of California

To the coast of Mexico

Where you could hide

And no one had to know

You can breathe

You can breathe now

You can breathe

But the air is running out

You can breathe

You can breathe now

You can breathe

But the air is running out (on you now)

You can breathe

You can breathe now

You can breathe

But the air is running out

You can breathe

You can breathe now

You can breathe

But the air is running out on you

Running out on you

Maybe we were made for each other

You can breathe but the air is running out

Maybe the world could look like this forever

Maybe we were made for each other

You can breathe but the air is running out

Maybe the world will look like this forever

Maybe we were made for each other

Maybe we were made for each other

Maybe we were made for each other

We were made for each…

That’s the record

Uh, I guess we’ll keep talking

This tape’s gonna run out soon

Then I’m gonna have to go buy more

And I’m a real procrastinator

So I probably won’t do that for a while

So until the next time, uh

It’s been uh… It’s been… interesting

But I’m glad we have her done
