Water doesn't heal everything But today we can forget about the past Iced tea and lemonade You hate it when I try to dig around in your head And I'm breaking all the rules When I can't find a way to make sense (Way to make sense) But I'm not giving up You found me with an empty cup Now I'm watching as you start to fill it up And I'm doin overtime To let you know what's on my mind But oxygen gets harder to find Last year when you said I can see us making progress How many days has it been I'd say it's 10,000 hours well spent We learn each other's language Starting with the basics And I can't seem to elaborate when I'm all wrapped up in life But if I wrote you a postcard it would say we're doing fine And I'm not giving up You found me with an empty cup Now I'm watching as your start to fill it up And I'm doing overtime To let you know what's on my mind But oxygen gets harder to find (You're the only one who never let me leave You're the only one who ever stopped me) x2 You're the only one (7x) And I'm not giving up You found me with an empty cup Now I'm watching as your start to fill it up And I'm doing overtime To let you know what's on my mind But oxygen gets harder to find

All along we close our eyes and move on All along we close our eyes and stay strong Cuz it's been a long time since I noticed the rain And your hand on my face So I went back and I said I lost track But I know that you wanted to stay And you moved to the woods I always thought that you should But I'm starting to forget your name I hate that you're gone All along we close our eyes and move on All along we close our eyes and stay strong Cuz it's been a long time Cuz it's been a long time So I went down and I stumbled around and Eventually I left the state And you sold the house disappeared in a cloud And I tried not to get in your way I hate that you're gone All along we close our eyes and move on All along we close our eyes (it’s been a long time) and stay strong (It’s been a long time)

Found myself On a little joyride Just riding around enjoying the sunshine But I pulled up And you came out And you showed me what it’s about And I could never let you down No I won’t ever let you down It’s hot in the summer time But I don’t mind as long as I’m with you And it’s so cool I was letting things get to me I don’t know why They sank into my skin I never tried to say goodbye Just let it keep me up at night And I’m surprised you got me to be patient It’s hard when you’re growing up And know you have to leave some things behind But I can’t lie Cuz I never felt the future Mattered till I got a chance to make it myself So I say Oh well For once, I learned how to say no I learned how to say no They want But I learned how to say no I learned how to say no I don’t want to waste time I don’t want to ruin my life So I say, oh well It’s hot in the summertime But I don’t mind as long as I’m with you And it’s so cool I learned how to say no I learned how to say no I don’t want to waste time I don’t want to ruin my life

I spend my time on the wrong things Mostly unemployed I wait to see what tomorrow brings Oh what else can I avoid And I know I know It’s not gonna last forever And I know I know It’s gets better I think about all the sad things Till you start to get annoyed And I never know what I’m doing Always seem to make a bad choice And I know I know It’s not gonna last forever And I know I know it gets better And I know I know (Little ways we find to run away) It’s not gonna last forever (Trap ourselves to escape) So let go let go (Little ways we find to run away) I will never (Trap ourselves to escape) I spend my time on the wrong things Mostly unemployed And I never know what I’m doing Always seem to make a bad choice (I know I know) It’s not gonna last forever

Pedestrian I’ve been walking inside your head And I was over there dropping hints That you need more than a quick fix Johnny called me so concerned And I was almost getting over her She said, can I borrow 50 bucks I got a dui and I’m down on my luck Well I never thought she’d go back in time Yeah, I thought she was doing all right Little things you see in your mind Do they get lost or get left behind It’s not an easy place to hide Logged in on your birthday yesterday Come to find you’d passed away Guess I waited too long to check in with you Yeah they say the best ones go too soon Little ways we find to run away Trap ourselves to escape It’s not an easy thing to break If I could talk to you now I would say thanks For being yourself Way down I can’t save save you now Little things you see in your mind Do they get lost or get left behind It’s not an easy place to hide (Pedestrian) Little ways we find to run away (I’ve been walking inside your head) Trap ourselves to escape (and I was over there dropping hints) It’s not an easy thing to break (that you need more than a quick fix)

It's a new year And you're saying to yourself I'm not giving up I've had enough of sitting on a shelf So you go on Like you were never cracked at all Like you can take yourself where you want to go and You never had that fall It's so obvious to everyone you know You will never get it right It's out of your control what Keeps you up at night Do you ever feel alone? Do you ever feel alone? Can you Stay strong when you are walking your own path Eyes ahead you've set your goal No way in hell you will go back You can see, now All the ways you've failed yourself I don't matter I'm a shattered wreck I'm Not the things I've felt It's so obvious to everyone you know You will never get it right It's out of your control What keeps you up at night (It’s so obvious) Do you ever feel alone? (You will never get it right) Do you ever feel alone? Did you see the warning signs? The trees along the road? Will you make it out alright? Are you even getting close? Did you pack an overnight? It's starting to get cold It's starting to get cold What keeps you up at night (do you ever feel alone) What keeps you up at night (do you ever feel alone)

I wrote you a note inside my head But you'll never get it Cuz I won't let it air I forgot my lines What was I supposed to say last night? When you said your dream of red It's only dread Grew up in a different world than you And how I wish it wasn't true Like a painting of the ocean How it's different shades of blue And I can't find my truth In the middle of a constant monsoon And you can't time your life To match the shifting tides And you can't make it right I forgot my lines What was I supposed to say last night? When you told me, when we cried Kinda had a good time despite I forgot my lines What was I supposed to say last night? When you said your dream of red It's only dread Kinda had a good time despite Kinda had a good time Despite

3/4 Beers In 03:23
I walked out of the room Right when you said you thought you were the chosen few Cuz you’re just drunk And you’re high Like you used to be Every single night I can’t stand to be around you like this To be around you like this Waking up in the morning Like you weren’t controlling, impatient, and mean And I have to act like I love you When I’m not sure that I do After everything I’ve seen Why can’t you Just try to get clean You’re not 17 And you act like There’s nothing to say But it’s not ok It’s not oh Watching you die when I come home to visit Rotting your brain like the fruit in the kitchen I should have told you enough was enough years ago I can’t stand To be around you like this To be around you like this Rotting your brain like the fruit in the kitchen Watching you die when I come home to visit I should have told you enough was enough years ago And now I don’t think you have the ears to listen Always so focused on what you were missing Never found out what could actually make you whole Rotting your brain like the fruit in the kitchen Watching you die when I come home to visit I should have told you enough was enough years ago I can’t stand To be around you like this.

All over now Wait till you get home then you'll let it out Like the webbing I want You to pick the setting I want You to see the magic of a Gravitation that turns into habit Great heights You can finally see why I never come around at night Got two left feet and blurry vision Held a grudge but it's forgiven Like the venom I want You to do your head in I Wanna see you get caught In your own time travel paradox Great heights you can Finally see why I never Look you in the eyes Got scatterbrain and blurry vision Had a grudge but it's forgiven You see me when you are looking through the glass I watch you too when you are making your way past I'm not a mirror I'm made up of flesh and bone You are not a leader you're just doing what you're told All over now Wait till you get home then you'll let it out

I’d punch through the window But it’s double sided And the dirt and the grime on the door Will be there forever I open a beer before I head over to work And if you don't mind It's probably gonna get worse (before it gets better) I’m watching and waiting and nodding and shaking my head I’m planning an plotting and crying and cursing in bed (before it gets better) I haven't decided How long it is gonna take And i'm still reminded Of all the time I could waste Planning and plotting and nodding and shaking my head Watching and waiting and crying and missing my friends (While I’m still deciding) Why not now (why not) I’ve calmed down (I’ve stopped) Filling my head all those negative thoughts and I Wished for my death and or someone I lost But it always comes back when I start to defrost So at least I have that Oh that's something I got for myself Why not now? I’ve calmed down I stopped

Photo ready every morning and I couldn’t stand Coming down it’s coming down it’s Coming up and all around Work it out and make them proud and Keep your head above the ground On and on and on and on like there’s nothing wrong Common ground and all that sound and All the things you’re keeping down When I get out and I start to shout and I Start to learn what life’s about On and on and on and on and I Don’t feel strong When it’s on (you help me) and on (I’ll help you) and on (we’ll make it) and on (through any) and I’m Already gone Photo ready every morning and I could stand Break it up and break it down We’re gonna turn this life around There’s no more wishing no more wanting To more patience no more longing I tried to do what people said But if I did I’d end up dead They wanna take my life away So I will make my great escape On and on and on and on like there’s (you help me, I’ll help you) Nothing wrong (We’ll make it, through any) And it’s on and on and on and on and I’m Already gone

Going alone I’m glued to my phone I’m sick of your tone so I don’t Press 1 to engage, press 2 to erase, press 3 to make a payment of something you’re late And everyone knew What you said wasn’t true But you’re still going on and on like you do It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok Jake said stay, we’ll have some fun I had to go home and get my dogs Besides now when I’m drinking it feels wrong Like falling asleep with the lights on It’s ok, its ok, it’s ok And I wanna know what you’re thinking Seems like we always have friction Could you write it all down for me just this once I think you like me better when I’m being the sponge And now when I start to feel see through I still like being around you I don’t let it bother me too much I’m careful in the way that I’m receiving your love (They said stay, we’ll have some fun But I never like to stay out long And now when I’m drinking it feels wrong Like falling asleep with the lights on And I wanna know what you’re thinking Seems like we always have friction Can you write it all down for me just this once I think you like me better when I’m being the sponge) It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok And now when I’m drinking it feels wrong Like falling asleep with the lights on I don’t let it bother me too much I’m careful in the way that I’m receiving your love
