The Angles
01:41

Isn’t is sad we move on so fast?
I can still feel your palm in mine
I never could figure out the angles
But i sure did know how to rhyme.
And Isn’t is sad we move on so fast?
I don’t know the last time you called
And remember that thing we said we’d never forget?
Well i couldn’t recall it at all
Hey, i sure didnt find the words
Oh yes I thought I could
But then i waited too long.
So theres just 4 perfect chrods that i could’ve used
To try and write you that song.
Do you tell them we’re still friends?
So you say you still know me?
Isn’t it sad that you found out all this love
Was just situationally free.
So i drown myself in work
And i don’t know where you’re at
But i try my best every day to never think about that
Falling fast and im falling far
Tell me something that’ll break my heart
Dont break my heart
I got a feeling that youre never coming back

Morning-time
02:12
|

|
I miss you in the morning and the evening times
And if i told you that i loved you would that be alright?
And there some songs in my notebook that i wish i had wrote
But sometimes i get sad and i dont want you to know
cuz you are living your life and im living apart
doesnt mean i dont feel you with every beat of my heart
But sometimes
Im loosing my mind
(i dont see the signs)
(im overwhelmed till im blind.
And i find myself alone
On a saturday night
I wanna be at home
With you holding me tight
I’ve got to go back down
To the place that you like
I got to outside
To a place that you might be
And i dont know if you
Are missing home too
But i always knew that feelings what makes you you.
Im outside
On a saturday
To a random field
That i rode out my bike to
I wanna be at home
With you holding me tight
And if you dont know what to do
When you’re feeling blue
Well i’ve got you
I I I I,
I’m losing my mind.
But i chant it again.
I miss you in the morning and the evening times
And if i told you that i loved you would that be alright?
And there some songs in my notebook that i wish i had wrote
But sometimes i get sad and i dont want you to know
cuz you are living your life and im living apart
doesnt mean i dont feel you with every beat of my heart

Princess

Taking walks over bridges that are burnt
Couldnt take the time i didnt know that it hurt
So i spend my days all alone and afriad
Of what i had done and what did i today
I said
I did the deed
But then i ran away
Like a little boy
And i spit to say
that i regret the past
Pull on the ponytails
of girls that ill never have
No i never had
Fall asleep underneath a bridge
No i didnt try never plan these things.
I thought i could be cool and 19
Not like those other kids,
No i chased all my dreams,
But im feelin cursed drinking listerine
Where my friends? Friends they never been.
Numb buds, tell me where i fucked up?
Tell me if i got the princess
why she live far away and stuff? Huh?

Your Shoes
02:06
|

|
Sometimes you get sad when were in your room
Oh i can tell by the way you smile and say
Sometimes you dont know if you want
The things that you got till theyre gone away
I cant tell if that is makeup or if you got punched in the face
Clearly you feel quiet and invisible
Can you see me see your grace?
And does it,
Make you feel unconfortable the way my body moves
And moved inside your place
Sometimes i would plant myself in your shoes
To see if your life is seen that way
Imani says thats called empathy now
Tell me what you choose to say
Youll never be close,
No closer than youd ever wanted to be
And sometimes you string me along so far that I
I get strung out
Because of you sometimes i get sad when im in my room
And i cant help but think of all the promises we used to dream of
What happens to the mountains we would climb
Do you think we’ll still buy a toyota 1989
Sometimes i would plant myself in your shoes
To see if you would feel the same.

Sick as a Dog
01:57
|
|||
|
I was sick as a dog
and you were pissed off
Cuz you couldn't see the bands youd wanna
And i apologized
But you had still cried
You let your head go
And i felt the infection grow
When i got home i threw up before prom
That night when we left you had your hand on my chest
And the uber driver asked where we were coming from
And i drank listerine when your birthday did come
And we had sex on prom night and i went home hungry but for food this time
For i had forgotten all about the hunger of those types.
Why dont you tell me when you’re alone
Because im also here all alone
I was sick as a dog
and you were pissed off
Cuz you couldn't see the bands you'd wanna
And i tried to tell you
I was gonna throw up
And you could've moved
or atleast protected your shoes
But I was sick as a dog...

Light Your Fire
02:50
|

|
Do you think we might stop hanging out as much?
Cuz it decreases a chance of
Finding new friends in this town?
What would it be like if you did?
Would we talk as much now?
Would we ever get to hang out?
And would you talk to me the same
Or would you hesitate to say, things that might come off strange.
I wonder if you knew how selfish you were being
Telling me that you loved me,
Without your hand inside of mine
Maybe baby I dont light your fire
Maybe baby maybe i cant tell
(Last one) maybe baby i wont be the one
The one to fix a hole when u punch it in your drywall
The one to light a candle and put on your sidewalk
The one to drive and hour away, even though i dont have a car
The one to go to the beach, and follow you into the dark
I find im best
when i am alone
But thats a lie i tell myself
And its a lie you know
I saw the pictures on your phone
And I am lost and confused
I hope that you need them as much as
i , oh I i dont need you.
Oh no the one.
the one to take you out
When you feel like you’ve no friends
You take take take from me but I wonder how it ends
Maybe baby I dont light your fire
Maybe baby maybe i cant tell

Restrung

I restrung my guitar, just how matt did.
I faked smoking a cigarette outside the show.
I met girl who said that she had really loved me,
And then she sang me a song I remember how it goes,
She said sometimes people die for no reason
And sometimes people survive for no reason too
I knew a girl who i really loved too,
She would let me follow her around
If she only knew that i had really loved her
And not 3 years later just found out
I restrung my guitar just how matt would,
I slapped her hand out of my face
She never knew what the fuck she was sayimg
I am so young and angry in that same way
She said sometimes people die for no reason
But I feel like you’ll be around for a while
I told her that i think this time it is different
And she said lets just wait and see as she smiled.
I restrung my guitar just how matt said,
I walked outside prepared to just go home.
Some how i went past and just kept walking
And i think im still wandering in the cold.
I have been through so much now without you
And i have cried my eyes out in my own arms,
I realized nothing ever made it better.
Except you my love, and this guitar.

Easy For Me
02:21
|

|
It wasnt easy for you
It wasnt easy for you
You had to wait for texts i dont send
But i wont pretend
That It wasn't easy for me
It wasnt easy for me
As soon as it started i wanted it to end.
And my fingers hurt too much from touching you
I cant get it up i cant get up too
I hate the way you are still around
I wish i never met you in this place
Im so bored that i keep checking the time
Id rather do that all fucking night
Than go somewhere that you would like
Cuz i would have to make,
All of the plans.
Cuz you’re opening your mouth again
You’re telling all your bestest friends.
You’re finding out that i was wrong
That i fucked up i led you on
And you hide now cuz im too much
I think we should stay out of touch
Im pouring out the ketchup now
All over your lap and mouth
Oh at the lady at dennys she said im being mean
Only if she knew what you’d done to me.
You never
Please Dont talk about me
Please Dont talk about us
Have some decency
We were never in love

My mom took me out dinner
When i finally turned 19
I took a bike ride way past campus
I saw a bird who looked like me
And i stared out of the window
Almost every day this week
I watched the fall cover the pavement
And every stupid thing i see
And when you got up from my bed
It was natural and sincere
I also thought all about you
Yes most every day this year.
I thought it would be nice
To talk to you sometime
Maybe have a conversation
About where were at in life
And i thought it would be cool
To tell you you’re my favourite song
Every melody in rhythm
Found in your head and in your heart
And i’ve made a friend or two
The old stuck to me like glue
No i have no contemplations
Only things that I enjoy
I took the train back to the dorm
Around a quarter past to 12
I rode it out home on a whim
To lays in fields where we would dwell
I used to think about the future
Now I taught myself and I don't
I’m getting better at living in the moment
Not in the spaces that i wont
And now im feeling things again
(i watched you hug me in the mirror)
And now im feeling things again.
(Now i am reading thinking clearer)
And now im feeling things again.
(I wish i was just a little nearer)
And now im feeling things again
And I called you from the show
Cuz i thought it would be nice
And i swear i dont think twice
Cuz i
I thought it would be nice
To talk to you sometime
Maybe have a conversation
About where were at in life
And i’ve made a friend or two
The old stuck to me like glue
No i have no contemplations
Only things that I enjoy
My mom took me out dinner
When i finally turned 19

You are the leech inside
A brain I really like
You are you a dirty friend
Who doesn’t mutually miss
You are open in the spring
But never the fall
You are stupid tattoo Written
on a stupid bathroom wall
You a car that never starts
You always complain and dont turn the key
Don’t you know I,
I wanna be god
I will use whoever I want
You are the bench outside
That i always sit on but never liked
You are a parasite
Inside my mind and in my heart
You are the kid always on my block
Who can’t leave me the fuck alone
You are the girl who told me i’d never find love
And she never managed to find a home
You are every little drawing
I made for my bestest friend
You are the purity inside
That slowly turned to death.
Don’t you know I,
I wanna be god
I will use whoever I want
Including you.
I want to eat from the inside out including your shell
I want you to feel like me and not relate to anyone else
You are digusting and every bad time i feel like i have had
You are the space between my bed and wall that i never wanted there
But Don’t you know I,
I I am lost
But i feel so much better now youre gone
And i am alone.

When she came back yeah was really bizzare she wouldnt eat and she would sleep in the park, i wonder what you did to her.
And she was better for a couple of weeks, she wouldn’t smile and she’d still barely eat,
But she was hitting up the parties.
She doesnt have a lot of friends, and the friends she had were not friends in the end, i wonder how long this will take.
but after winter break, she wouldnt leave her bed she’d say, that you weren’t coming back
Wuddya do? Did you say..? Oh no X2
Did ya say baby dont worry about me, i am independent, and you dont have to be,
my mom.
Sophie didnt come home last night, im pretty sure shes out hanging with guys, but in her text i could tell it was a lie.
We woke her up she was in a sewage ditch, she didnt really like where shed been, we said thatd fine you dont have to talk about it.
But we knew that she was already lost, we thought atleast she would make it to the fall
But we weren’t sure and i guess thats why
She buried near the pieeeeer
And now oh god no one talks about sophie and the way she always loved, me he me he.
With her dead china doll stare
Sophie knew that no body was there.
And in her head it smart on her part.
It’d be a lie if i said i didnt know from the start.

Do you think we might stop hanging out as much?
Cuz it decreases a chance of
Getting a boyfriend in this town?
What would it be like if you did?
Would we talk as much now
I guess what goes up must come down
Would he get jealous if we watched
Movies all night and just talked
Would he want you to come home?
Would he hold your hand in his?
While you walked around the places
That we used to walk alone.
Maybe baby you dont light my fire,
Maybe baby maybe i cant tell
Maybe baby maybe I wont be the one
The one to pull your hair
When your hair had got too long
The one to say goodbye
When you left your lovers home
The one to fall apart
When you start to cry alone
The one to hold your heart
While you talk oh all night long
Oh would he tell you secrets?
Like i once and always do
I feel like i am just a sequence of events
That follow you.
Oh would he write you songs?
That melt your heart
In boxer shorts and guitars
That hum and dip and play the sounds
That have you slowly close your mouth
I find im best
when i am alone
But thats a lie i tell myself
And its a lie you know
The one to pull your hair
When your hair had got too short
I take take take from you
But i wonder now what for??
Maybe baby you dont light my fire,
Maybe baby maybe i cant tell.

A Witness

I think that i could be grand for you but then again
I don't really want to kiss you and i wouldn’t do that to you friend,
Like when he saw her listen to that song played out loud
In a crowded venue with drifters and alcohol allowed.
A woman with a weird last name , living a whole different life than hers but at the point she didn't complain
Because he saw her cry a single tear and not even move an inch
It always snowed that winter but that night no one felt like shit.
I told you that i was happy my writing sometimes sucks, and i told my younger brother
That is no time for giving up. Because i did see the best mind of my generation high as fuck
(I found a way to open up my heart, without, breaking it).
Thats why i wanna be in grocery stores on tour, with the friends I've always had before
Thinking of my family, and not knowing where i was last week.
Sleeping with you on a strangers floor.
In a sleeping bag. and if you cry, i will hold you close and kiss you through the night
Isn't it so beautiful that may not be what you want!
And that alright because that doesn't stop me from dreaming it all up.
And my notebook doesn’t fill itself up!
And i wrote this for a feeling from a night that i will never get again
