lyrics

I can’t wait to die so I can get out of this one
Matt I wanna throw my towel in
Can’t you come up another song?
To make me feel like im not
So alone again?

I was in a basement
I was 13 years old
And I wrote a song and found myself a friend
I guess Im tryna do that again

But now im so old and tired
Just 20 I know thats stupid
Just 20 and now its useless
I got a time
Limit on everything I wrote songs for girls I didn’t like
But its different tonight cuz I love you

I dont wanna live here anymore
I dont wanna die here anymore
I just wanna go to where you are
I just wanna look up at the stars

And I don’t feel the need to focus
I want to blur out
The edges of your face
So I can see the parts
That still look at me in that way.

And I don’t want to write
Another sad song at night
but here I am
(And the summer will end
And everyone will leave
And itll be back to school
And then itll just be me )
I thought the summer morning air
Would last for ever in my head
But I guess it ended instead
I’ve got a lot things to do
Im still here in pools of you

Matt I went on my car
Layed across the hood
Didn’t see any of those stars
That you said I would

miss I miss I miss the way
I could listen to you say
Anything and feel good about
Anything cuz I knew
You had me loved too

Swear when I was with you i could’ve put
The guitar down
I could’ve stopped
Playing songs now
But now here I am
And I still use this as much as i can
And I still need this as much as I did
And I’m so sorry for being a kid
I'm so sorry for letting you in
I'm so sorry but I do it again

I feel no reason to stay
I wanna live to be brave
Daydreaming of you

Got no part of me that feels
Like I can do this
I know I can’t do this
I know I can
I know I can’t
And its ok
And its alright

If you cry sometimes
If you don’t have sex that often
if these songs they dont come naturally
if she’s moved on fast happily
Its ok If you no longer even rhyme
And its ok if you don’t have a life
Its ok if none of your friends reach out to you,
Well I guess some of the time’
Its ok if you dream of her in the afternoons
if you go back to the library alone
To see if you’re initials are still there
some romantic gesture set in stone
And its ok if your girlfriend stops talking to you
Its ok if you can’t write a song
Its ok if everything that you had planned
Seemed to be planned out wrong
Its okay if on the drive home you forget
that she wont be there now but you're still excited
its ok if you don’t leave your house today
its ok if you watch TV and waste away
Its ok if you feel bummed out when you go to school
Its ok if you feel bummed out you didn’t know the rules
Its ok if you don’t come out of this alive
Its ok if you didnt even try
But no one knew what would happen at all
The higher we jump guess the harder we fall
I listen to your album made in secret that spring
Picture you beside me like youre here listening
And I, I don’t think you that need to beat yourself up
Theres isn’t much to do about this kind of stuff
just live through the waves
I don’t want to say
But its okay to decay
