Projectors

Project on me, I'll project on you Breaking both our hearts We won't fill those shoes We'll ignore those clues Till we both can't hide Oh you're human too Well that just won't ride Project on me, I'll project on you Breaking both our hearts We won't fill those shoes We'll ignore those clues Till we both can't hide Oh you're human too Well that just won't ride See, these feelings I keep spilling are revealing our darkness I thought we'd hit rock bottom and we'd reap pillage and harvest Be my Suze, I'll be Dylan, we'll be freewheeling regardless Overdosed on Western medicine in East Village apartments Got two hands on my heart like the knobs of an old projector And a memory that's bad enough, there's not much that I don't remember Got a pile full of letters swept up from a cold September Lying on the floor of our apartment playing broken records Joni Mitchell, Bon Iver, even the sun would shiver If we burned our Phoebe Bridge or sped off into the Hudson River We lost our love but saved face and changed wrinkled skin Threw a rock into the waves of the Great Lake of the state of Michigan When I climbed up to Rapunzel but stumbled and punched Struggled like Jackie Chan badly, man, I could've used a stunt double I was there for you when your grandma died You were there for me when my grandpa died We planned our lives, I would've tossed in all my bets That we'd be walking till the end, arm in arm, the song resets If I could rewind Tuesday 22 times, I'd do them all again But I'd be counting down to when I lost more than a friend Project on me, I'll project on you Breaking both our hearts We won't fill those shoes We'll ignore those clues Till we both can't hide Oh you're human too Well that just won't ride Project on me, I'll project on you Breaking both our hearts We won't fill those shoes We'll ignore those clues Till we both can't hide Oh you're human too Well that just won't ride Two sides of the same coin we flipping hope for the best 50 50 I end up with another hole in my chest You'll turn to your delusions just to minimize your mess Pretend I'm less than human for the ego you protect That weight would be too much to carry, so you start to cut me down Cause otherwise you'd have to realize that it's you you're letting down You know what you do in shadows, I can feel it when you're home Got me thinking who you really are ain't someone that I've known Mask was slipping, I still feel the way it's ripping at my soul Far from my first rodeo, so I was loosening my hold In the past I would've kept it wrapped and put up with the bull Now I'll hold on while I can and let the clowns assume the role Known to think that I can tame the rain right out a hurricane And I know that's insane while batting 5-0 against the game But every part that's in my heart been known to go against the grain Like love's supposed to be a challenge and they can be saved Cope until I lose me, paper thin as loose leaf Where I write these poems that your lack of depth cannot read Screaming into that void, another round as that boy Still thankful to be me, hope one day that you get that joy So you Project on me, I'll project on you Breaking both our hearts We won't fill those shoes We'll ignore those clues Till we both can't hide Oh you're human too Well that just won't ride Project on me, I'll project on you Breaking both our hearts We won't fill those shoes We'll ignore those clues Till we both can't hide Oh you're human too Well that just won't ride
