the smell of you is lingering in the folds of my shirt
we're equally desperate and it's easy to be sad at the end of the day
you say you like the way I feel and
you seal every promise with a kiss
tell me that tears are free, but hourly rates are costly
so I can cry myself to sleep on a dead line.

black eye solves everything
come back just to make sure that I'm dead
stop, restart, and start over.

two days is eternity, and I'm waiting for the light
gleaming off the blade of your skate or
the shaft of my pen
decieve me with every soft embrace and
convince me you don't wanna let me go
you break me just like everybody else and
I'm tired of being found alone.

black eye solves everything
come back just to make sure that I'm dead
stop, restart, start over.
it's all the same,
we're stupid to believe it's any different
shake me away
it's been a long night, and you're just dying to leave
I'm dying as I watch you go.

ignorance is beautiful, and beauty's just a flaw
you pout with your blue eyes dreaming in black and white
you're the sort of puppy dog, I wish you'd follow me home
you make me feel like I'm drowning,
you're every gasp of air.

black eye solves everything
come back just to make sure that I'm dead
stop, restart, and start over
black eye solves everything
bandaid a broken heart
stop, restart, start over
start over.
