cut the lights
now im barely getting through the night
just the two of us could make this right
now im crawling in alone
breaking through
if only i could make it up to you
i would patch this up and take the truth
you can call me up from home
stretching thin
cracks are showing now, walls breaking in
tattered fabric flowing in the wind
midnight never feels like night
stack them up
all the reasons this wont be enough
just a little late to say its love
hurts too much to throw away

she speaks in cursive, i write in drunk
looking for a phrase to tell her "im feeling rough"
she tells me i deserve better but i know im poor
spilling four letters words as she heads for her door
i wish i never saw you like i always have and now i feel afraid
im a thousand mile addict to a heroine who looked the other way
calls me when shes lonely, says her lifes a chore
shes running from her mind, feet stuck to the floor
asks me how im doing, say "ive moved away"
the further that ive gone, the more my thoughts have stayed
i wish i never saw you like i always have and now i feel afraid
im a thousand mile addict to a heroine who looked the other way
i wish that i could give you something just to help alleviate the pain
youre a thousand mile addict too, with painted memories coursing through your veins

Losing Sleep

another day, im freaking out
waking up with someone new
someone that i thought i new
another night im staying up
these neon lights are just enough
to help me see what ive become
i walk in late then hesitate
feel like ive been here before
lock eyes with the exit door
youre trapped in space i gravitate
ive seen all those looks before
i know what youre headed for
talking in the backroom
the smokey haze to cover just us two
you ask me where we go from here
im face to face with all the things i fear
and now i havent got a clue
morning light im on my own
thinking of you blocks away
wonder if you do the same
were you someone that i knew
or just someone i recognized
to keep us getting through the night
through the night

Lover

you knew just what to do, just what to say, when i was this way
and i, well i played the fool to think that i knew that we'd be ok
i thought that i loved you, and you thought that i could just be enough
we could never be lonely, i guess thats the part i tried to forget
lover send me a sign, that im not the one, so i can move on
when holding hurts more than the loss, i think that its time (time, time)
i could stumble around till ten after two looking for you
and you would just hide away, turn out the lights and think that its right
you said that you missed me and i thought that i was losing my mind
we should love to be lonely because after this while its all that we know
lover send me a sign, that im not the one, so i can move on
when holding hurts more than the loss, i think that its time
lover send me a sign, that im not the one, so i can move on
when holding hurts more than the loss, i think that its time (time, time)

Blurred

running from you, but youre laying with me,
or at least in my head
on the floor in this room, thousand miles from you
but just ten from the places weve been
i wander the streets but whatever i see
our ghosts are haunting complete
im closing my eyes but where ever i go
im stuck in your life untold
a single place a million times
so blurred ill never know how it looks
but at least ill know its real
and youll live your life built on cards
oh babe, theyre gonna fall
the truth hurts afterall

Me + U

17 you and me
trying to find out what it means to always feel the things we do
hours pass like all the rest
but somethings different babe, i think this is finally something new
ill pocket it now and pull it out when i can feel it all
i wish this didnt hit so fast
and if i had the words i promise i would spend them all on you
but you were always on my mind
22 me and you
stay up talking through all the things we never want to be
hours pass you think its best
to let the evening end, leaving me wondering what it means
ill pocket it now and pull it out when i can feel it all
i wish this didnt hit so fast
and if i had the words i promise i would spend them all on you
but you were always on my mind
ill pocket it now and pull it out when i can feel it all
i wish this didnt hit so fast
and if i had the words i promise i would spend them all on you
but you were always on my mind
but you were always on my mind

Compass
03:38

on the road
maybe if i head back home
maybe now youre all alone
the things i wish i knew
if i called you now
baby could you just pick up
and listen to the things ive done
or would you let it just ring through
i never thought wed be like this
but maybe you could see this all along
all i ever saw was you
how i wish that wasnt true
and if you werent my compass maybe i could just be lost
doesnt that sound different, i only wish it sounded nice
i woke up
a cold sweat had me on the cusp
of telling you id had enough
but i knew you were asleep
now its you
you think about what weve been through
you write it up and send it off
but you were always in a dream
i never thought wed be like this
but maybe you could see this all along
all i ever saw was you
how i wish that wasnt true
and if you werent my compass maybe i could just be lost
doesnt that sound different, i only wish it sounded nice

Reflections From Boston

todays a wash
tomorrows no better
if you were here
then this could be better
call me on tuesday
say you missed me sunday
and i go to bed
thinking this would go better
all down the train line
your hand in my hand
was that the last time
that this would feel right
huddled at midnight
tears down a cheek
i had you a year more
but lost you that week
now something reminds me
of something you say
now youre just letters
etched in my head
etched in my head

Still, I
03:45
|
|||
|
just a thought can bring this down
just one look and youll distract me
just one note to get me lost
still, i wonder if youre happy
and in some corner of my mind
im still wishing you were mine
coming home, all the aching spreading through
i feel hungover off of you
blurry vision, im a mess
naked moonbeams beating softly
filter through the slits and cracks
still, i wonder if youre happy
and in some corner of my mind
im still wishing you were mine
coming home, all the aching spreading through
i feel hungover off of you
and in some corner of my mind
im still wishing you were mine
coming home, all the aching spreading through
i feel hungover off of you

Just Somebody
03:29

|
the evenings getting late
the last year feels like a mistake
youre sick of hiding all the things that youve been going through
pick up the phone rehearse the words
three dials in youre feeling worse
spit out cliches to fake a different mood
youre friends are coming around the bend
say you have to go and you pretend
im just somebody calling you to chat
riding home and looking out
but thinking in about the sound
of me saying that im going through it too
feeling sick, this accidental last goodbye
but bleeding out the words i know its true
youre a long story that never takes much time
we were just a love song slipping through the blinds
feeling sick, this accidental last goodbye
but bleeding out the words i know its true
youre a long story that never takes much time
we were just a love song slipping through the blinds

Out
03:22
|

|
missing you
is all that i ever do
when you go
its all that i ever know
waking up
is all that i ever miss
getting out
well ive had enough of this
now and then
i think its you again
see the clock
it just tells me where youre not
getting home
the part that i always hate
stuck in shame
cause id scare you in this state
end of message
