The Rest of Your Life

My mind’s not right
And I think that you’ve noticed
But you didn’t want to start a fight
But I’ve got to get it right this time
Cause tonight I could be who I am
For the rest of my life
This time
I’ve been pulling apart pieces of my mainframe
I started going by a new name
You want to know how bad it tastes
You want to see yourself laid to waste
You’re so scared that you don’t have what it takes
I’m saying I’ve got faith
Cause I’ve seen it before
I believe that it’s in your eyes
And I know what they told you
But all they ever do is lie
And tonight you could be who you are
For the rest of your life

Thumbtack a ticket to the bedroom wall
Rhumb line is spinning now until the fall
“Come back tomorrow” yeah I bet you will
Fun fact I never saw you laugh with him
Lost my deposit when we moved you in
Must have forgotten what a mess I’ve been
Held back opinions cause it’s not my call
Thumbtack your picture to the bedroom wall
Sometimes you gotta hold your hat
Quit lying and take off the mask
I’m probably the worst at that
Sorry bout the years that we can’t get back
My fault
You can spackle that
Late fall
Where’s your jacket at
You’d call
When I was skipping class
Slow down you’re going fast
Thumbtack a letter to the bedroom door
Saw both your parents at the grocery store
Why’s everybody think it’s not their fault
Thumbtack your picture to the bedroom wall
Sometimes you gotta hold your hat
Quit lying and take off the mask
I’m probably the worst at that
Sorry bout the years that we can’t get back

It’s that time of year again
Up top make a plan to win
You can go out west
You can pound your chest
You’re a badass, man
You can be anything you want
You can come back in three months
Got it figured out
And you’re moving out
Well I think I’m done
You got your accent back
Car wheels on a culdesac
If you go back home
And you try that tone
I’m gonna laugh at that
It’s starting to grind me down
That I never told you how
I was onto you
Yeah I always knew
You would let me down
Catch me up
You’re not serious
Play dumb one more time
I’ll give you what you’re made of
Fool me once
I’m not acting tough
I’ve got arms for eyes
And now my mind is made up
You won’t fool me twice
I think it’s time you paid up
It’s that time of year again
Gray sky and a box of friends
You can look me up
You can see how much
We could’ve been
Receipt from the dollar store
You’ve burned this bridge before
That day you left
I shook my head
I slammed the door
Catch me up
You’re not serious
Play dumb one more time
I’ll give you what you’re made of
Fool me once
I’m not acting tough
I’ve got arms for eyes
And now my mind is made up
You won’t fool me twice
I think it’s time you paid up

17 Miles

There’s no way
I’m afraid
Despite my efforts to replace
No one in your shoes could take up that much space
And by the way
I’m okay
I know you didn’t ask but
I’ve been getting better every single day
I’m gonna run like 17 miles today
Just to see how my knees
And my new shoes take it
I could make it to the top
Of the island I could get
On the boat and take it back
I could walk to metropolitan
And pick up where we left it
I could watch it fade to black
With a note in my pocket
To remind me where I’m at
I could trip on something
That I got from you
Before you left
I could weep in the grass
I could try to forget
I could weep or forget
Guess I’m sleeping here instead
Guess I’m living in my head
How could we both forget
There’s no way
If you stay
Despite your spirit and your flame
No one in your shoes could make it all the way
And I’m surprised
But I’ll be kind
I never meant to compromise
I just wanted to know what that’s like
It’s like-
I’m gonna run like 17 miles today
Just to see how my knees
And my new shoes take it
I could make it to the top
Of the island I could get
On the boat and take it back
I could walk to where I kissed you
In the trees in the park
I should bury what I’m feeling
In the dirt keep it dark
I could sing it to some people
That don’t know who you are
Just as long as I remember
I don’t want to forget
I don’t want to forget
I could weep or forget
Guess I’m sleeping here instead
Guess you’re living in my head
How could we both forget

I was driving back to Brooklyn and my eyes were getting tired
I was thinking of the fear that I’ve been feeling all my life
If I trace it to the root if I investigate the truth will there be meaning
You can understand too much about yourself now, I believe
That’s a handcuff to your past now can you take that off of me
I would hate to see the footage in the future if the pattern is repeating
Could I place my heart in your hands for the rest of my life just for safekeeping
Do you feel like someone else
When you read the words you wrote
A letter to yourself
When you think about the arguments
You’ve won in your life
Do you feel lonely
I was driving back to Brooklyn
And my eyes were getting tired
I was thinking of the way
I used to sing on Wednesday nights
I would hate to see the footage
But I’d pay to feel the power of those moments
Could I place my heart in your hands
For the rest of my life
Could you hold it
I was driving with my eyes closed
Underneath the gun
Listen to that record
You played when I was young
Spinning in infinity
Angels in the architecture
Angels in the outfield
Lovers on the run
Spinning and spitting
Hallelujah I’m drunk
Romans 8 true love
True pain too young
Looking over my shoulder
Put it underneath your tongue
Spinning in infinity
Spinning out in the city
Driving with my eyes closed
Underneath the gun
Spinning out in the city
Spell it out if you miss me
Driving with my eyes
