Design Flaw 02:29
I bit the bullet and it broke my teeth My ducks are falling out of line I’ve got 62 texts saved, all from you But tell me where are you Your Being cannot be pried Your Being cannot be pried apart from my own Design Flaw Apart from my own I climbed the bricks and they cut my feet And my heart went farther up the side I’m not thinking of sex, just being with you But tell me where are you ‘Cause I am something else I am something else and you are cute Design Flaw And you are cute I’m an integral part of your path I feel, you say

Erase Me 03:37
I know that you loved me And I know I loved you We had good times, we had everything We even have the pictures as proof You can take it all back if you want to You can run it all into the ground But you can’t, you can’t, you can’t Erase me I’m here if you ever wanna call me And I’m here if you never say a word I’m scared that you’re never gonna call me But I’m here if you ever say a word You can take it all back if you want to You can run it all into the ground But you can’t, you can’t, you can’t Erase me This is harder than it ever was supposed to be Harder than it ever was supposed to be You made it harder than it ever was supposed to be
