Project on me, I'll project on you
Breaking both our hearts
We won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues
Till we both can't hide
Oh you're human too
Well that just won't ride
Project on me, I'll project on you
Breaking both our hearts
We won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues
Till we both can't hide
Oh you're human too
Well that just won't ride
See, these feelings I keep spilling are revealing our darkness
I thought we'd hit rock bottom and we'd reap pillage and harvest
Be my Suze, I'll be Dylan, we'll be freewheeling regardless
Overdosed on Western medicine in East Village apartments
Got two hands on my heart like the knobs of an old projector
And a memory that's bad enough, there's not much that I don't remember
Got a pile full of letters swept up from a cold September
Lying on the floor of our apartment playing broken records
Joni Mitchell, Bon Iver, even the sun would shiver
If we burned our Phoebe Bridge or sped off into the Hudson River
We lost our love but saved face and changed wrinkled skin
Threw a rock into the waves of the Great Lake of the state of Michigan
When I climbed up to Rapunzel but stumbled and punched
Struggled like Jackie Chan badly, man, I could've used a stunt double
I was there for you when your grandma died
You were there for me when my grandpa died
We planned our lives, I would've tossed in all my bets
That we'd be walking till the end, arm in arm, the song resets
If I could rewind Tuesday 22 times, I'd do them all again
But I'd be counting down to when I lost more than a friend
Project on me, I'll project on you
Breaking both our hearts
We won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues
Till we both can't hide
Oh you're human too
Well that just won't ride
Project on me, I'll project on you
Breaking both our hearts
We won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues
Till we both can't hide
Oh you're human too
Well that just won't ride
Two sides of the same coin we flipping hope for the best
50 50 I end up with another hole in my chest
You'll turn to your delusions just to minimize your mess
Pretend I'm less than human for the ego you protect
That weight would be too much to carry, so you start to cut me down
Cause otherwise you'd have to realize that it's you you're letting down
You know what you do in shadows, I can feel it when you're home
Got me thinking who you really are ain't someone that I've known
Mask was slipping, I still feel the way it's ripping at my soul
Far from my first rodeo, so I was loosening my hold
In the past I would've kept it wrapped and put up with the bull
Now I'll hold on while I can and let the clowns assume the role
Known to think that I can tame the rain right out a hurricane
And I know that's insane while batting 5-0 against the game
But every part that's in my heart been known to go against the grain
Like love's supposed to be a challenge and they can be saved
Cope until I lose me, paper thin as loose leaf
Where I write these poems that your lack of depth cannot read
Screaming into that void, another round as that boy
Still thankful to be me, hope one day that you get that joy
So you
Project on me, I'll project on you
Breaking both our hearts
We won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues
Till we both can't hide
Oh you're human too
Well that just won't ride
Project on me, I'll project on you
Breaking both our hearts
We won't fill those shoes
We'll ignore those clues
Till we both can't hide
Oh you're human too
Well that just won't ride
