It’s only January
And I’ve learned too much this year
Trust no one that you think you can,
Everyone’s a liar, and the truth is out there
But you, you couldn’t get
Far enough away from me
Far enough away
You can tell by the bags
Under my tied eyes
That I can’t get used to living bed to bed
And it’s keeping me up at night
But even the right words
Come out the wrong way
And catch up to you in time
So for now, while you’re comfortable with him
I’ll fall apart at a comfortable distance

Somebody Else

The weight on my chest
Has kept me in bed
‘Til four in the afternoon
And I don’t get up
Until somebody wakes me
Or I find something better to do
The pictures we’ve taken,
In time they’ll start fading
And I’ll tell myself that this is what I have to do
With or without you
I’m finding it so hard to be myself
When you’re already yourself
With somebody else
We started a family
And I guess that it proved to quickly
Cause you were so young
And I was so naive
About who I swore I could be
And I know that this wasn’t the life
That I promised you
And trust me, I get it, You know I do
But you had no excuse
It’s my fault
I made myself believe
That the only things that you
Would ever need
We’re the same things
Right in front of me

Lock & Key

I’m the eggshells
Under your feet
I’m trying not to break
As you’re trying to leave
Like the concrete
Weighing down as you sink
I’m the hand over your mouth
When you’re trying to breathe
I punch holes in our already sinking ship
And justify it saying
“By now you’re used to it”
And when you’re trying so hard
To save the plans that we made
I’m busy trying not to
Push you away
And you
Say that you’re happy
But you’re better off
What kind of man would I be
If I let you stay?
You say that you’re happy
But you’re better off
You jump in head first
When I’m at my worst
I give you nothing to work with
But you make it work
No thanks to me,
I fuck up everything
I only fail
So you’ll feel sorry for me
How can I ever be enough for you
When all we ever are
Is what I’m going through?
Aren’t you tired
Of fitting the shape of my mood?
Don’t be afraid to leave
I don’t blame you

Lowlife
04:14
|

I’m at a loss for focus
And I wish I could let it be
But all the words I’ve written down
Well, they don’t mean anything
And I could contemplate the causes
Or get high on my couch
And watch The Office
But either way, I’ll never be
The man you thought I was
When you met me
Dive into the night
Without a light at the end
in sight, to guide
And I won’t drag you through the dark
Like a lowlife
It’s getting worse
Every day that it’s with me
And I’m aware
But I can’t shake the feeling
Dive into the night
Without a light at the end
in sight
I never lied
Okay, I might have bent the truth
But it doesn’t change a thing
You know me now
and you know that I love you
So stay with me a while
And please let me explain
Because there’s comfort in the fact that I can’t be
The man you though I was when you met me

I sang to you a song in the house
Where I grew up
It wasn’t much,
But it was just enough
To keep you in love
Until the days forgot to sing it back to you
And I did what I had to
I’m hoping that you know-
I’m hoping that you know
I keep the letters that you wrote
around my room
I’m saving them for when I get home
Saving them until I have the real you
until I have the real you
But if time makes the heart
Grow a little fonder then,
We can wait a little longer
We can wait a little longer
If time makes the heart
grow a little fonder then
I’ll see you soon
You said you had a nightmare
I got sick and you flew out to meet me here
And I’d believe it,
Believe me, it got me thinking
If I left this world tomorrow
Everyone would know
What I was to you and
What you wore to me
Pick me up and take me home
Because time is moving on
And I’m getting old without you
Getting old without you
Pick me up and take me home
Because time is moving on
And I’m getting old without you
And I don’t want to get old without you
I’m getting old without you

Stay
03:25
|

I was holding it together
When you started to notice me
Falling apart at the seams
When I find my heart
I'll find the strength
Where there’s a will, there’s a way
And I’ll get my head straight
I'll come to terms
That I never know
What’s best for me
I've been keeping myself away from you
Giving you space so you don't have to
Live with this the way I do
But I made my own choices
I was holding it together
When you started to notice me
Falling apart at the seams
I'm visibly nervous
Embarrassingly anxious
Waiting for you to leave
But you stay with me
I found a way to outrun my shame
But along the way I grew complacent
I'll hide from my fate
Behind the wall of mistakes I made

All Caught Up

Hello, friend
It’s good to see you again
Hello, friend
I was sure the last time
We said goodbye would be the last time
But now you’re standing next to me
And oh, I could use some time with you
Cause honestly, recently
Things haven’t been easy
What’s it like where you’ve been?
Have you been bored?
Are you making friends?
I’m all ears, or all talk
It’s whatever you feel
Whatever you want
We can kick it like we used to
We can laugh all night
from being sleep deprived
We can kick it like we used to
And we can get low
Or we can get high
But if you’ve got to go
Before we’re all caught up
Then, please
If you’ve got to go
Before we’re all caught up
Then, please, take me with you
To see you now
And feel the space we’re forced to live without
That sounds alright to me
Relive every moment
That was lost on you and me
You’re my favorite recurring dream
We’re all here now, wandering
Getting used to the new and what had to be
We’re all her now wondering
“Isn’t it obvious?
You’re the only one who knew any of us
Any of us”
