Goner, hold me underwater Just to watch me come up, gasping for air I love the way you hate me, how close to death you take me Just to watch me come back, gasping for air My last line, the screen's black, the credits roll Will you ever see me again? I guess we'll never know A quick kiss, you get a cab, you're headed home It's pitch black, the door's locked, I'm all alone Watching a roller coaster love from a Ferris wheel I'm only words on a page, but I could swear it's real Another matinee, wanting me to act this way Offer up my heart a couple times a day, anyway I just wanna make it so the strings don't show Dreams getting tangled in a velvet rope Laugh at my demise to forget your own 'Cause I can fake a smile and the world won't know I just wanna make it where the Sun might shine Summer in the daytime, breeze in the night Doing what you tell me for the very last time Till then I'm just a Goner, hold me underwater Just to watch me come up, gasping for air I love the way you hate me, how close to death you take me Just to watch me come back, gasping for air Gasping for air I just wanted to come back down to earth Let me be free I'm tired of playing a role that was written for me A scripted story, when I get forgotten, you get the glory It's fucked up, will anything ever be different for me? I'm missing my old life, but apparently it was boring But now I suffocate in a semi-romantic love Escape doesn't seem like it's coming, I feel nothing, my numb estate The light's dimming, I rush and put on my other face All in all, guess it's just another day, anyway I just wanna make it so the strings don't show Dreams getting tangled in a velvet rope Laugh at my demise to forget your own 'Cause I can fake a smile and the world won't know I just wanna make it where the Sun might shine Summer in the daytime, breeze in the night Doing what you tell me for the very last time Till then I'm just a Goner, hold me underwater Just to watch me come up, gasping for air I love the way you hate me, how close to death you take me Just to watch me come back, gasping for air Gasping for air I just wanted to come back down to earth Let me be free It feels good when you learn from my mistakes But not if you're me Till then I'm just a goner (I wish I could just live my life, but I'm) Hold me underwater, just to watch me Come up, gasping for air (stuck in a screen) I know there's happier endings somewhere I wish that they would happen to me
