Just Like Heaven

Dark purple skies 

Ruffled black shirt 

Jean shorts too big for me

Running in my lacquered shoes 

Under the summer palm trees 

My nails painted white with correcting ink

Hair blonde, half-up half-down

Beads of sweat racing down my arms

I hear the night metro whir near by

The LEDs of cars light up the street ahead

It’s the best night of my life 

My dad doesn't know 

My mom doesn't know 

I am here myself 

And nothing matters

I don’t care that I'll leave all this behind on the next day

I don’t care who left me all alone

And i don’t care if its all my fault

I dont care that my test papers are empty

I don’t care that my makeup is running down my face

I don’t care that my heart is broken 

And full of regret

Tonight i am all alone, and no one knows 

It’s the best night of my life 

And so i run and run 

My keys dance inside my pockets 

My jewelry clings to my sticky skin

A strange man stares at me, but i don’t care

Let him stare

It’s no bother to me, i feel free 

Free of my hurt

Free of my tears 

Free of all that i wasted 

It’s the best night of my life

Time goes on 

The clock ticks on 

My face feels heavy

My earrings weigh me down

My nails chip 

My shorts sag

My shirt creases 

The skies shine red 

Filling the clouds with blood 

Dawn is my enemy 

I have to return 

I climb up the stairs of my flat

Turn the keys at my door

Wash away my sweaty sheen 

Wrap myself in my soaked blanket

And the thoughts fill my head again

All alone again
