your dirty t-shirts lines my bedroom floor
and everything else is accounted for
you wake up so slowly with stale cigarette on your breath
no one told you to go, no not yet
i'm not trying to separate myself from this state
i'm not losing my head
no not yet
your leather jacket it still smells like me
from when you let me borrow it in january
i know sometimes i act like a piece of shit
but i hope it's alright and that you see past it
i'm not facing my demons
they're a force to be reckoned with
and i can't choose a side
i'm not blowing off steam
you treat me like a queen
and i don't deserve it

brown corduroy jacket

you think you're so clever with the way that you dress
your brown corduroy jacket and your hair in a mess
i never asked you where you bought it
i just assumed your grandmother's closet
you think you're so clever that you say
you can't old punk music or new wave
well, i will make you a CD
i don't know one goddamn hipster who hates the pixies
whoa, hey
tell me now, what felt better?
fucking me or fucking me over?
you think you're clever with the way that you talk
you throw out "swag" like it's your job
well i don't think you are who you think you are
you don't own ferraris or minibars
you think you're so clever with the way that you ended
my teenage heart and extended my disapproval of you
and any 18 year old who could grow a beard like you
whoa, hey
what felt better?
fucking me or fucking me over?
you think you're so clever, you think you're so smart
you think with the way that you dress
your brown corduroy jacket and your hair in a mess
well, i should have burned it all when i had the chance
would have lit faster than a hint of your romance
whoa, hey
what felt better, fucking me or fucking me over?
whoa, hey
what felt better, fucking me or fucking me over?

a knack for adventure
05:04
|

a while ago i was constructing a kingdom
on soil that wouldn't last
a while ago i was wearing a crown and robe
that i grew out of too fast
as they say, adventure awaits
and we shouldn't dwell on the past
there are no wrong answers
just questions that we shouldn't ask
have you ever been so lost without any intention of being found?
have you ever come across a road you haven't been down?
have you ever made a bet without being entirely sure?
do you nurture your knack for adventure?
a while ago i was standing at the threshold of bravery
and there all around me stood up to me
and there are two sides of this story: there's now and there's then
and we can't change who we are
we can only forgive who we've been
have you ever been so lost without any intention of being found?
have you ever come across a road you haven't yet been down?
have you ever made a bet without being entirely sure?
do you nurture your knack for adventure?
do you nurture your knack for adventure?
have you ever been so alone surrounded by people you thought you know?
have you ever severed a heart you thought was made of stone?
have you ever felt it in your bones, that need to explore?
do you nurture your knack for adventure?
do you nurture your knack for adventure?

the night sky reflecting in your eyes
waking up to the same dream every night
drinking wine with Jenny makes me miss you
i get lightheaded the same way when i see you
you keep dead things in jars
preserving wings you've torn apart
you hold half of my heart in yours
you don't like the way i treat myself
like i am a sketch to be drawn out
you permeate with colors to bring out the best in me
you keep parts of me in your room
fleshing me out to fit your mood
you hold half of me in you
you keep dead things in jars
preserving wings you've torn apart
you hold half of my heart

chasing rubber boats down the stream
i pull you closer to me
as i follow you around the bend
become a more of a ghost and less of a friend to you
and i'm okay with that
cuz i get to spend all my time with you
and i don't have to act like anybody else but sad, lonely me
we're wrapped up in blankets
the warmth encircling us and our naked bodies
and i'm sheltered from most everything that i know is trying to haunt me
i don't want to be the one to shed the light from the sun
but i know it can't warm us forever
yeah i know it will eventually burn out
we'll stay young while we still can
and i'll stay yours while i still can

favorite hoodie
04:50

you got a cool haircut
i wanna mess it up
you got a cool pair of sneakers
i wanna tie them up
you got a cool tattoo
i wanna trace it with eyeliner or my pen
you got a cool way of speaking to me
like i'm the only thing that's ever been
but i'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired of trying to call
when i know you won't answer at all
and i'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired of being alone
when i know you're home, oh
you got a cool band
you sing about things i don't understand
you got a cool hairdo, oh
i think i may have already mentioned that
but i'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired of trying to call
when i know you won't answer at all
and i'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired, i'm tired of being alone
when i know you're home, oh
you said i wear you like the heart on my sleeve
of my favorite hoodie

new year
06:02
|
|||
|
i'm not saying i'm a manic
but it's driving me mad
trying to figure out how i got so fucking sad
i compensate for it by writing these stupid songs instead of going to parties
but maybe i've finally come to term that people scare the shit out of me
i don't want to dig my shallow grave alone
but i don't trust anybody else to help bury my bones
so this is the new year
and i don't feel any different
i'm an apathetic mess
i'll rip my own heart and leave it on your doorstep
i've got no reason to act like this
so this is the new year
and i've got no resolutions
at least none that i'll fill in the next twelve months
or whatever
this year i want to be someone
this year unlike before i want to be someone for once

and you've got holes now in your sneakers
from walking miles to my house
and you've got holes now in your sneakers
but you are going to patch them up
and all the sad boys need a sad girl
i know it's hard to admit because you don't want me anymore
and all the sad girls need a sad boy
and i still need you
and you called me to come over
and you tear out my guts
and the worst part is that's the most you've touched me in months
and all the sad boys need a sad girl
i know it's hard to admit because you don't want me anymore
and all the sad girls need a sad boy
and i still need you

arms/legs (demo)

for that which we drown our emotions
and we bury underground
for that which we sing of in churches
and fill these halls with sound
for that which we know the consequence
but we refuse to hear it out
for that we adhere to accidents
in the purest form we've found
you find yourself in a daydream
and you won't wake up from it
you find yourself in a movie
but you didn't write the script
for that which we are afraid to admit
to the ones we want
for that which we hide out in emptiness
though we're all filled with the flood
oh for that we'd give our arms and legs
just for one touch
for that we'd do most anything
and fear it's never enough
you find yourself in a movie
but you didn't write the script
you find yourself in a daydream
but you can't wake up from it
for that is love

soldier on, my friends
we've got a long way ahead
better now, my friends
than it ever was then
my heart's been replaced with a black hole
whoa, oh
my mind's been erased
what did i know?
whoa, oh
as they say, we are giants in our own way
and as they say, adventure awaits
don't grow up just grow older
