fav mitski lyrics ♡

lush 

- for if i am not yours , what am i ? (wife)

- but if I gave up on being pretty , i wouldn't know how to be alive (brand new city)

- there is a light that i can see but only , it seems , when there's darkness in me (abbey)

- fluorescent store lights , you shine through the night , illuminate my pores and you tear me apart (bag of bones)

- a hopeless violence ; i named it love (door)

retired from sad , new career in business

- i've waited and watered my heart till it grew ; you can see how it's blossomed for you (goodbye , my danish sweetheart)

- maybe when you tell your friends , you can tell them what you saw in me , and not the way i am (goodbye , my danish sweetheart)

- so lying awake , i would follow the aching inside ; i would find it's for you won't be mine (square)

- it was only to tease when he climbed up the tree , put my heart where i couldn't reach (circle)

- mom , am i still young ? can i dream for a few months more ? (class of 2013)

bury me at makeout creek

- but i've been anywhere and it's not what i want , i wanna be still with you (texas reznikoff)

- and i was so young when i behaved twenty-five yet now, i find i've grown into a tall child (first love / late spring)

- i look up at the gaps of sunlight . i miss you more than anything (francis forever)

- just don’t leave me alone wondering where you are , i am stronger than you give me credit for (i don’t smoke)

- you can lean on my arm as you break my heart (i don't smoke)

- you'd say you love me and look in my eyes but i know through mine , you were looking in yours (last words of a shooting star)

puberty 2

- when you go , take this heart , i'll make no more use of it when there's no more you (happy)

- he liked her more than life itself , i'm sure (dan the dancer)

- but with everybody watching us , our every move , we do have reputations . we keep it secret, won't let them have it (once more to see you)

- one morning , this sadness will fossilize and i will forget how to cry . i'll keep going to work and you won't see a change . save , perhaps , a slight gray in my eye (fireworks)

- your mother wouldn't approve of how my mother raised me but i do , i think i do (your best american girl)

- i always want you when i'm finally fine (i bet on losing dogs)

- i work better under a deadline ; i pick an age when i’m gonna disappear , til then i can try again (my body’s made of crushed little stars)

- i've been a forest fire , i am a forest fire and i am the fire , and i am the forest and i am a witness watching it . i stand in a valley watching it and you are not there at all (a burning hill)

be the cowboy

- i look for a picture of you to keep in my pocket but i can't seem to find one (why didn't you stop me)

- every time i drive through the city where you're from ; i squeeze a little (old friend)

- it's just that i fell in love with a war and nobody told me it ended (a pearl)

- and i don't want your pity , i just want somebody near me (nobody)

- i know i've kissed you before , but i didn't do it right . can i try again ? (pink in the night)

laurel hell

- when I saw the girl looked just like me and it broke my heart , the lengths you went to hold me (should've been me)

- i always thought the choice was mine and i was right , but i just chose wrong (working for the knife)

the land is inhospitable and so are we

- my baby here on earth , showed me what my heart was worth . so when it comes to be my turn , could you shine it down here for her? (my love mine all mine)

- you're my best friend , now i've no one to tell how i lost my best friend (the frost)

- that love is like a star , it's gone , we just see it shining . it's traveled very far (star)

- you believe me like a god , i betray you like a man (i'm your man)
