Seventeen, seventeen, seventeen time
Champ of the big dick competition
All your life down the fucking drain
What a shame, what a shame, what a goddamn shame
Fuck your confidence
Big Champ
Fuck your arrogance
Big Champ
I’ll see you in your sleep
Bitch

Struggling with my time and place
Always good with using up my space
With shit I don’t need and people I don’t like
Never run from something to bring me back to life
Someday, sometime soon
I’ll feel like its alright
Someday, sometime soon
I’ll live in the light
But not today
There’s no way
Argue with myself back and forth
My stupid thoughts I know I can’t control
Sing myself to sleep after you leave
Place the broken glass in between my teeth
Someday, sometime soon
Things will start to stick
Someday, sometime soon
I’ll get out of this
But not today
There’s no way

I know how your friends talk behind my back
“He’s a poor, sad fool,” well, I just think that’s wack
I’d say I could care less
but it seems like you’re listening to them
You and I both know you can do better
I hope you never want better than
Cheap dates on my front porch
Eating leftovers from the night before
Falling asleep before midnight rolls around
You can do better
Woe is me, woe is me, is this who I wanna be?
I know your mom thinks I’m too edgy
With my black clothes and tiny ego
You and I both know you can do better
I hope you never want better than
Cheap dates on my front porch
Eating leftovers from the night before
Falling asleep before midnight rolls around (You can do better)
I know I’ve said a lot about the others
What do you think about me?
Should I go get lost now
Or should I get down on one knee?
Please tell me.

Automatic

She stares across the room
Colder than midnight in January
Said she’s leaving soon
Couldn’t promise any more than temporary
She walked away and turned around
Smiled big as she reeled me in
She said “this place is too loud”
Goodnight to what could have been
You know she’s always on the go
She’s automatic, she’s automatic
You know she’s all good on her own
She’s automatic, she’s automatic
We jumped into my car
She said “baby, take me anywhere”
She kept her love in a jar
Said I could have some if I got her there
I couldn’t help but be confused
Why does she want me
She pulled me close and whispered
“Is there somewhere you’d rather be?”
You know she’s always on the go
She’s automatic, she’s automatic
You know she’s all good on her own
She’s automatic, she’s automatic

Let Me Go

When the day burns out and the night runs high
You keep me up all the way
We talk and we talk but we don't get much done
Who cares anyway?
Searching, searching, but you always run away
Hold me till the lights go up when the day is done and don't ever let me go
Cuz you know I won't, you know I won't
Hold me till our lives run out when we're our only chance
And don't you ever, no, don't you ever let me go
Now the day's burning out but were still running about
You're screaming across the room to me
About how this is how you've always wanted to be
Guess it's a little obscene
Searching, searching, I'm not searching anymore
Hold me till the lights go up when the day is done and don't ever let me go
Cuz you know I won't, you know I won't
Hold me till our lives run out when we're our only chance
And don't you ever, no, don't you ever let me go

Old Friends

Graduation day
I looked you in the face
Told you that I loved you
Then we slowly parted ways
I see you from time to time
We both know what’s on our minds
I always keep you in my hindsight
I’ll give you a call when it feels right
I don’t wanna be just old friends
The implications are too threatening
Meaningless banter and check-ins
You know we’ll never be just old friends
Saw you the other day
The best that I’ve felt in weeks
The news of a lifetime
My smile still fills my cheeks
I don’t wanna be just old friends
The implications are too threatening
Meaningless banter and check-ins
You know we’ll never be just old friends
Next time that I’m in town
Well I hope to god that you’re around
Give you a hug and just shoot the shit
Just the way that we remember it
I don’t wanna be just old friends
The good times don’t need a limit
I know we’ll never be just old friends
I know we’ll never be just old friends

I’ll take a page from your book when I say
What makes you think that I feel any different today
You sigh and roll your eyes beauce you know I’m right
But it doesn’t matter I’ll see you at home tonight
I’ll take a walk in your shoes if you step into mine
Why can’t you just believe me this one damn time
You’re like a piece of art I stare at from time to time
I could paint you from the back of my mind, no lie
Take a look in the mirror, see you’re the best part of me
Can’t wait till I fall asleep tonight so I can see you in my dreams
Our love is like a movie, kissing in cars and sleeping in
When I wake up next to you it reminds me just how lucky I can be
I hear you talking in your sleep
You sounded scared so I bring you closer to me
I’ll tell you its all okay even if I don't know
But get back to sleep babe, we gotta get up and go
You drive me crazy and I know I do too
But I love the way your smile lights up a room
We’ll have our ups and downs and lefts and rights and side to sides
But it's okay I know I’ll see you at home tonight
Take a look in the mirror, see you’re the best part of me
Can’t wait till I fall asleep tonight so I can see you in my dreams
Our love is like a movie, kissing in cars and sleeping in
When I wake up next to you it reminds me just how lucky I can be

Honeysuckle
04:15
|

|
I awoke in a rush, disillusioned from being and soul
You were gone just like all the other times, you forgot your farewell
But I still feel you in the room, your honeysuckle perfume
Lingered too long for me to let go
Its okay, I forgive you, but I still see you in my dreams
I want to soon come back, but I know it will only hurt
Clouded minds always at the right time
My skin rots quickly when I dwell
Darling, I will not make you stay
But please consider this
Death will take the both of us
But you will wind up in the pit
Darling, I will let you go
But listen before we part
Love still bleeds eternally
Even from a broken heart

I see it in your lips, in your eyes, The bedspring marks on your thighs
You tossed and turned all night, Wondering “Will I be Alright?”
Saw the sun coming up, Filled your morning coffee cup
I say lay back down its fucking 5 AM
We’re all young and sleep deprived, Don’t know what we want in life
Try to settle down end up feeling like a clown
Fucked up and depressed, Toxic love you know the rest
Sleep in while you can babe it's not time yet
Nobody wants to grow up, and neither do I, Try to take it slow but they all fly by
You know the story we’re all just dumb kids
Breaking the rules, never giving a shit
Sleepless nights and petty fight
It won’t be long until we see the light
Raising hell like a bastard child
Always searching for the change of tide
We’ll get through yeah, we’ll be alright
Always oversleeping on our sleepless nights
Always oversleeping on our sleepless nights
Talking in my sleep I never know what I say, Too deep in my dreams too far from reality
Second nature says just get over it, Second nature says who gives a shit
Take my hand, let's get out of here, It only takes two seconds to disappear
Shatter my bones into a million pieces,Bury me in secret so no one can feel it
You know the story we’re all just dumb kids
Breaking the rules, never giving a shit
Sleepless nights and petty fight
It won’t be long until we see the light
Raising hell like a bastard child
Always searching for the change of tide
We’ll get through yeah, we’ll be alright
Always oversleeping on our sleepless nights
Always oversleeping on our sleepless nights
I don't want to grow up and neither do you
It feels so lonely in this crowded room
See you through the thick cloud of shit and smoke
Take my hand, let's go for broke
I don't want to grow up, always running from the truth
I'll just run, run away, run run away, right back to you
No one wants to grow up and neither do I
Try to take it slow but they all fly by
I don't want to grow up, always running from the truth
I'll just run, run away, run run away, right back to you

I hear the strain in your voice
Feel your contempt like it was my choice
Our silhouettes dance at each other’s throats
Knife in my back looking for the antidote
Remember when we said we would stay the same
Now we both want out, no one will take the blame
Deep down we both want to figure it out
But we still fall asleep without a sound
Do you feel it?
The disconnect
I can’t believe it
Where will you be in the morning?
When I reach out for you
Kept me up with your pillow talk but it all meant nothing
Where will you be when the morning comes around?
Will you come back and pick me up?
You hung me out to dry, is this what you wanted?
I hear your pain it creeps through the house
I want to take it away, I want to drown it out
I know you’d do the same for me
So let me in, put it all in me
Do you feel it?
The disconnect
Can you feel it?
Let me in, put it all on me
It's been too long since we’ve felt something
I’ve had enough of feeling nothing
I’ve had enough of feeling nothing
Where will you be in the morning?
When I reach out for you
Kept me up with your pillow talk but it all meant nothing
Where will you be when the morning comes around?
Will you come back and pick me up?
You hung me out to dry, is this what you wanted?
It's been too long since we’ve felt something
I’ve had enough of feeling nothing
You say you love me but I don't feel it
You say you want me, make me believe it
