Tetris Lyrics

I play tetris with my eyes

Walking down the street after leaving your house

Where I slept in your bed

But just to fend the nightmares off

Sometimes I'm afraid to look you in the eyes

'Cause i know I could fall too deep into what I find

And sometimes I don't say what I really mean

'Cause it might melt you and I know you're scared of water

But me, I've been drowning for years

Or is that what it's called still when I've been under long enough to grow gills

Wish you would let me teach you how to swim

Wish you would stop worrying about the wind

I can never really tell if I'm pulling too hard or treading too fast

I'm picking flowers and making a list of ways to help you when you're sad

Now I'm smoking in a bubble bath, thinking about what Rachel said

And I've come to the conclusion that living in limbo is okay

As long as you're still the one calling my name

See, the logic I've been standing on my whole life is collapsing beneath

But this part somehow seems concrete

Stabilizing, ethereal; simultaneously

And I know the stars are looking out for me

And that things will work out how they're meant to be

But despite everything there's something in my bones

Telling me that this is something worth fighting for

And I'm scared too, but I'm taking up arms

I'm certainly not a soldier but for you I'd start a war

'Cause you're all I've been wordlessly searching for

If you weren't who I think you are, I wouldn't think to try

Because I'm tired too, like i know you are

From staying here up all night

But I'd give all of my good dreams up

Just to lay awake by your side

And you have your own shuffled suits in hand

And you're certainly not one to bleed

So Ican't tell you what move to make

But I think you'd be a fool not to come with me

And I know you don't want me to wait for you

But I'm still gonna look for your name first anyway

When I check to see who saw my story

And for your face in the traffic on Neil Avenue
