When you're in love
You do crazy things
You tell your common sense to "Shut the fuck up"
and "just go with it"
You never stop to think any of your actions through
You make love then make do
of the shitty situation around you
and when you can't deal on how the relationship turned out
You spend sleepless nights in your bed fully clothed
wide awake until late Autumn afternoons
Skip your early morning classes
in favor of last-minute apologies
being sick over past love philosophies
continuous sightings of future encounters
Brings anxieties buried deep back
You remember what brian told you
Just breathe in
Hold it
Hold it
and let it out
and let it out
When you reinvent the wheel
you set yourself up for a chance at utter failure mentally and emotionally
then you lie to yourself about coexisting
with someone
whom you once loved
and they fucked
and they couldn't give a fuck about you

Thinking back on all my mistakes
I'm taking long drags from a short cigarette
I've been wasting
my time counting all my mistakes
and we've been sitting on this long dull street babe,
looking for parking
oh my god it's a ripoff of a Modern Baseball classic
Alpha Kappa Follie a Deux
I don't give a shit anymore
Lately, I've been taking long drags from a short cigarette
Drinking iced tea and water under rain sky and cloudy weather
clouds my vision on whether or whether not I can get something right
I can get something right.

He Listens On Repeat
04:53

He listens on repeat
And he's getting high in the basement
And she's with his brother
In the next room over
And I'm watching her from the corner of the party
Where the introverts stand and say nothing
With our red plastic cups half filled with cheap beer
Trying to drink themselves away
From this place.
And she shows him "Dark Blue" by Jack's
He listens on repeat
While she's saying she's sorry
Drunken night mistakes
Turns Into morning regrets
Leading down a winding road
To when he stabbed her back
So she tells him she hates him
And he tells her the same
Yells that he's high again
And says that he's changed
He tells her he's sorry
And he's done with these games
Pulls out a ring
(That his grandmother gave to him)
Gets down on one knee
And she just walks away.

Washed Out
02:44
|

|
He's got a sign
A shameless plug
Waving it around shouting about
Yelling Jesus saves us
And she needs the drugs that keeps her homeless
and that's where she wants to be
Knee deep in shit
With no help from friends or family
And I'm washed up
Washed out
In a sea of people
And he’s got a calling
Moved to New York to find where it’s been coming from
And he’s lost with cut ties
With cuts underneath his eyes
To make sure that he keeps them open through the night
‘Cause he’s scared
And lonely and too prideful for help
‘Cause he’s scared
And lonely and too prideful for help
And he’s washed up
Washed out
In a sea of people
We’re all washed up and washed out in a sea of people.

College girls
Only like guys with cars
And have their shit together
Not dearly
Changing like the weather
Wanting commitment
With no clue
how to
Commit
I’ve been waiting
All my life
For something
New, refreshing,with a bit of spice
I thought I found her once before
But she
Had bad intentions
And I need to find a new way to survive
College drinking
Always sound like a vice
And I’ve been looking for advice
From anyone but you
Because you know
All I want to do is to see you die with him
Maybe I should just listen and forgive
I’ve been waiting
All my life
For something
New, refreshing,with a bit of spice
I thought I found her once before
But she
Had bad intentions
And I need to find a new way to survive
And College life
seems more like a mistake
Paying thousands of dollars just to feel second rate
And I’ve been thinking
about when I get out
Will this shitty paper help me to pay my own way
I’ve been waiting
All my life
For something
New, refreshing,with a bit of spice
I thought I found her once before
But she
Had bad intentions
And I need to find a new way to survive

Solace in the Trees
02:07

thinking back on everything
I know that I have done
From the cigarettes, I hid from my mom
Missing high fives
Looking through hazy skylines
I thought were your hands
Just without the lights
And I know that
I missed out on a lot
From broken friendships
I just forgot to call
And maybe later I could work
And get a job
And maybe they could visit me
At the mall
And even though
People say I'm tall
Most times I feel two feet small
I’m not clever
I’m quite unoriginal
Pretty bland
And a little too literal
And I don’t want to sound
This cynical
But you know how it goes
When you're unoriginal
And every day I look
At the mistakes that I’ve made
And I try
To forget
But I can’t
I realized
That I can’t turn back the clock
But that’s alright with me
I want to go
to back to when I was 16
Lighting up behind the Dairy Queen
This’ll be my new anthem

Star crossed lovers
it was doomed to fail
with love and hope, it soon would prevail
But our choices on our lives
Left on different paths
Had to say goodbye
Remember how I coaxed you into dancing
And we laughed and turned all night
Swaying to the beat
It was the best time of our lives
And I moved away
And ruined our chances
Of high school sweethearts
Our dreams decayed
I fucked up and forgot to call
There was no signal
Sorry for the delay
You were my one true shot at love and
I’m truly sorry every day
Everyday
Remember when I gave you that note
That said I wanted to be your only one
I remember you smiling as I turned to run
And I moved away
And ruined our chances
Of high school sweethearts
Our dreams decayed
I fucked up and forgot to call
There was no signal
Sorry for the delay
You were my one true shot at love and
I’m truly sorry every day
Everyday
X2
You were my one true shot at love and
I’m truly sorry every day
Everyday

Tripping in the Dark
04:06
|

|
I always keep tripping in the dark
Over conversations
Making small talk about our
Lackluster relationship
facebook statuses
About Moving out
And back in with our parents
While we sit alone in our rooms
And pretend to study
Still waking up early
And Irishing our coffee
With a lack of abandon
Our ship is sailing
Straight into the brick wall of my imagination
And we’ve been sinking
Into the ocean of our deepest darkest thoughts
To keep out of the commotion of life
Recently
I’ve been purposely
Stepping on legos
To find a piece of emotion still left in me
Tying knots in my stomach
To keep me from
Hitting the floor
Exposing my cheap skin
That you could is paper thin
By the blood filled word count
That trickles out
Have you ever felt like the siding of your house
After enough time the color just gets washed out
And you’ll paint yourself brand new again
Just to be worn down under your cheap skin.

College life is not for me
Could you point me to the couch where I can sleep?
And we're just stray cats
Outliers on a normalcy graph
Our paws hit the concrete leaving us incomplete
And every day it seems
I'm leaning more towards vagrancy
Then my half hatred dreams
And we've been falling asleep on couches in our dreams
Instead of classes
By fee
And we've been huffing our smoke
Mixing liquor in coffee
If we're not happy here
Think about how happy we'll be
And we're just stray cats
Outliers on a normalcy graph
