Alyssa, I Refuse to Name This Song After You

I know it's been a while since I've called
I've just got so much to think about
I wish things were still simple
I wish I was still seven years old

I hate to complain like this to you, but youre the only one who understands me anymore!

You mean more than a bright name
On a screen
On a dark day
Youre more than the voice in my pillow
Catching me when I fall asleep

You are just my dream
Painted on a body
You are my childhood
Photographed late in August

We weren't so worried we had a mental disease
All that we cared about were the scrapes on our knees

You are a constant
You are a human being
You are a Saturday spent with the family
When I didnt hate my dad
When I didnt hate my life
When I didnt hate myself
