Writing this down
So I dont forget
Ive got a lot to say
I dont wanna lose it
I never thought id get the chance
But here you are and im looking for the words
You know how badly I wanna tell you everything
That ive done before
Im not the person I was when we were growing up
But im trying more
But for you I would throw myself
Into the fire I would trade it all back
And for you I could change myself
Im just looking for another chance
Back at the bar
Where we always go
I never left
And now your working in mexico
You look the same as I remember
But all grown up and I still feel like a kid
I know how badly you wanted to get out of this town
And I felt it too
Your smiling at me I buy us another round again
I can play it cool
But for you I would hold myself
Over the fire I would trade it all back
And for you I could change myself
I know you dont wanna hear that
But if I could do it over again
Id still tell you to get away
Id just be better in my own shit
I just dont like the way it ended
And now that your here im feeling it

Shuffle Around
02:47
|

Shuffle around the house again
Making excuses, avoid your friends
I was around on your front step
Buzzing you late at night
You made up a drink and sat me down
Everyone else is out of town
The cities a cage when youre not around
It doesnt feel right
And im making plans with people I dont like
I just dont want to be alone tonight
I want to feel like im exactly where Im supposed to be but I dont
I dont
Cover the windows and go to bed
Stay in your clothes wear it all again
Im gripping your hand but you leaving and
I dont want to make you sad
I couldn’t relax and I walked around
You work in the morning im being too loud
The cities alive and im bored I want to reach out
And feel the air
And I used to love to take the long way home
My mind could wander I could leave my phone
And every day was like a place id never been to
But now im just passing through
You told me we could get together soon
I dont know what ill say or what ill do
I want to feel like im exactly who im supposed to be
But I dont
I dont

Can You Be Mine
03:53
|

Look at the time when your running late
They wanna see you run around in circles
Ill bring my car and take you to a better place
Well lay under the sky blue and purple
I feel the pins running down my legs
Your eyes are looking at me and and im frozen
I like the way your taking all control of me
I leave my thoughts behind and im open
Your love is taking up the space
I can barely breathe
And I dont want to get away
I need to feel the high
I dont wanna to come back down
Your love is all I need
Can you be mine
Im laying here beside you now
The salt on my lips let it linger
I know you have to leave and I wont stop you
It doesnt have to end with the winter

Houseplants

Havent you felt the light touch your skin
You wanna pull off your clothes and just jump right in
And now I cant feel the way you want me to feel
I need know every word you saying is real
now were plants in the ground
too deep to get around
now were wolves in a cage
in love were ok
How many days will it take you now
Youve got a different love you still remember how
And now I cant steal you from a different guy
Im trying to change my ways im better this time

Age

When I was young I used to walk
Around the dirt and make believe
Im not a little kid anymore
We talk about the same old shit
And now the words dont stay with me
Im not the boy your lookin for
-
But when I lay down with you at night
I want you to hold me to you tight
I still feel everything that we do
And when you wake up in the morning light
I wanna see you at at the bed side
I still wanna be everything to you
-
I go about my day just like
The day before but now its short
Youre still at work im getting stoned
Were buzzing on the long walk home
We still hold hands and laugh a lot
Theres still a lot I can never know
-
Were at a friends house
Looking around to find who we know
But I dont know anyone
And everyones having fun
Its getting late now
I made a mistake I let it show
You decided to stay a while
And I just feel relieved to go and I go I go

My Apt
03:23
|
|||
We paint a picture and throw it away
I meant to tell you I liked the way you made me out
I could be anything and nothing at all
I took a look in the mirror today
I noticed something aint right I try to pull it out
Were making something to cushion the fall
Shes at my apt
I see her every time I look up
I want to turn away but now im shook up
Im falling apart yet
I need to feel your body on mine
It gets me high but its never enough
We see the people their moving in line
Theres something pretty about the way they jog along
I like the feeling I dont matter at all
You see a flower who grew in the weeds
Its petals changing and trying to hide its beautiful
I might have picked it but its never mine

I dont know how I got out the front door yesterday
I just walk around like every body else
It takes every muscle to lift the sheets or id waste away
I dont want to keep feeling sorry for myself
I just stay immobile and I keep my eyes closed
I stay stoned enough so I never feel low
And everyone I talk to says I look so tired today
I just shrug it off and make my way home
Every day, I feel it slipping
And I feel the same as time goes by
Are you out there trippin, the same way too
I hope i get there, when you do
She looks out the window while the sun just disappears
I can see the silhouette from the bedroom
When you turn around I see you face is not the same
You saw something out there I cant give to you
I just wait it out but I want to be close
Are you still in love with the moment I go
But we can hold each other till the sun comes back again
I just want to hear you say it before I go

Summer
03:03
|

Waking up in the summer
The sweat on my legs
And my back is warm
I feel you there in the cover
The heat coming through you
-
Stretching out in the water
The sun on my face
And my hair is short
I know you care for another
But he couldn’t fool you
-
-
When can I see you again
Has it been long enough
I dont wanna be your friend
I want it all
-
-
Falling back on the pillows
The longest day out
And it feels too short
I need you there in the quiet
I know its not true, but Its enough
-
Humid hums like a blanket
The sound of your breath
In an empty room
I feel it there in the shadow
It doesnt feel new

Your Love
02:26
|
|||
When you close your eyes
Does the light still come in
I know you
I was close behind
You were there but I lost you
Can I go too
I want to feel
Your love
When I feel too far
I dont want to make you find me
But you know how
I can make life hard
But I don't want to lose you
If you found out
I want to feel
Your love

Has To Go
02:23
|

Out on the porch
Smoking again with a can in your hand
Same as before
Thinking of them and but their holding your man
And Id do anything that you asked me to do
But for now youre just hanging out
-
Walking the aisles
Pushing your cart while you stare into space
Walking a mile
Nothing inside and you picture their face
And Im working to be what you wanted today
But for now were just going out
And youre always
Looking around
And it feels like
Everything has to go
Hands in the soil
Sweat on your face and your pulling it back
Anything more
Too much to handle for now its ok
And Id wash off your hands and your clothes before bed
But for now you just need a break

If You're Here
02:26
|
|||
I want to go there
With your happiest memories
I wanna feel the next time youre coming down
All of the bad you can throw it out
Its a large request I know it is
Watching you get low
Youre a different animal
Keeping your back to the corner and your eyes shut
Headphones on and the volume up
Its the longest train ride isnt it
-
But youre almost gone im
Falling down again but im staying down if your here
Bike ride down town
Ive been trying to keep up
Feeling the wind on your face and the sunlight
All of the bad you can leave behind
I can stay behind and untangle it
Back seat goin out
With your hand barely touching mine
I never care where im going if youre coming out
Making me sweat when you come around
Im a nervous wreck I can handle it
