I'm just that pair of shoes that you forgot at a party two weeks ago You didn't know you needed them 'til now I'm just that white Bic lighter that's been lying on the sidewalk outside your house And you won't pick it up 'Cause you think that it's bad luck And I don't think that I'll try to convince you otherwise It's just not worth my time I'm just a taxi driver I'd take you home, but you would never even think of doing the same I'm just an ice cream stand You need me for two months of the year and then you throw me away So someone please tell me why I still have so much hope left I'm still here trying to get your attention when I should just be feeling depressed But I have no real friends I just have a fading list of people that I used to go to school with a few years ago And don't even try to think that you're any better than me I know that you're not I know that you're not I'm sorry if I have you bored half to death I know that talking to me is not the best thing that you could be doing But sometimes I'm funny & mildly interesting I don't know If I've been talking too much or just not enough so Let me know If I should still bother fighting or just hang the gloves up All of these sleepless nights are slowly killing me And I want to change But I don't understand what you want from me And I don't know much But one thing that I know is I have no real friends I just have a fading list of people that I used to go to school with a few years ago And don't even try to think that you're any better than me I know that you're not I know that you're not I have no real friends I just have a fading list of people that I used to go to school with a few years ago And don't even try to think that you're any better than me I know that you're not I know that you're not

Flowers 03:21
I fucked up But I won't let those flowers dry Their dwindling colour reminds me of a time when things were worse, but that was fine It's just bad luck That by the time it crossed my mind To fill you in on my thoughts it was too late We were out of time But Cathedral Street is lined with shards of broken glass Anxiety's been getting to me harder than it ever has before How am I supposed to let you know what you mean to me When I'm such a fucking idiot And I'll never get around to it No matter how hard I try to let you go It always seems to be that I get pulled right back into it And I've just had enough of it I can't stand looking at those pictures from before The faces staring back at me belong to people I don't know anymore And please stop showing me all the things that I missed out on I cannot ignore the fact that I wish I was still passed out on your living room floor But Cathedral Street is lined with shards of broken glass Anxiety's been getting to me harder than it ever has before How am I supposed to let you know what you mean to me When I'm such a fucking idiot And I'll never get around to it No matter how hard I try to let you go It always seems to be that I get pulled right back into it And I've just had enough of it

Too Early 03:14
I thought I didn't care anymore But then I saw you outside my door You're just like seasonal depression 'Cause now you're back in my head again I don't care if we finish what we started I don't care if you leave me broken hearted I just wish I could figure out why I still get choked up And the worst part is that I know I can never truly move on So I'll just call some friends up Let them know that I just wanna get drunk And forget about how I fucked up I just wanna get drunk And forget about how I fucked up I thought it couldn't get any worse But they say there always is a first time to do everything And that includes failing first year history I wish that I could blame this one on a faulty system Or a mishap in the judgement of disgruntled authority But the problem here is me There is nothing left to loose There is no one left worth talking to So that means I'm just gonna get drunk And forget about how I fucked up I just wanna get drunk And forget about how I fucked up Get out of my head I just wanna forget every single thing you ever said to me I'm just trying to go to bed But it's too early It's too early I'm just gonna get drunk And forget about how I fucked up I'm just gonna get drunk And forget about how I fucked up I'm just gonna get drunk And forget about how I fucked up I'm just gonna get drunk And forget about how I fucked up

Stars 03:59
The dog days are over This is it Wake up & make your bed Try not to look like shit Get your mind together & sweep your regrets Under the pile of burnt out cigarettes I'm a little more torn up than I'd care to admit I think that we can agree In a perfect world you could still live by the sea And nothing crushes me more than the thought that you're not seeing the same rain as me You can replace your possessions You can replace your friendships too But I'm stuck racking my brain Trying to figure out how on earth I'll replace you And I find it hard to explain to anyone This strange situation I've wound up in I'm only hoping the places we go will outnumber the places we've been I think that we can agree In a perfect world you could still live by the sea And nothing crushes me more than the thought that you're not seeing the same rain as me One thing that keeps me composed is reminding myself that we still see the same stars each night It's a comfort that I've come to live with Even though your view is blinded by big city light And winters cold frost couldn't come any faster I'll still be here waiting to hear your sweet laughter Preparing to vanquish the darkness and sadness that filled the light For months right after you left I think that we can agree In a perfect world you could still live by the sea And nothing crushes me more than the thought that you're not seeing the same rain as me

Look at me I'm important Check out all the cool shit I can do All I really want is to finally meet you I'm here showing support and It's not fair for you to ignore everything that I say As if I'm trying to mislead you All I want is a little bit of validation But you're not reading the messages I'm sending to you And I'm dying of absolute frustration 'Cause I know that I won't get through to you Guess what I'm up here now You can see me You can hear me Don't ignore me Don't ignore me Don't ignore me Now you know me Now you know me Now you know me Now you know me

Living in the fear of missing out on a Friday night When you're drinking a craft beer on an empty stomach Hoping you don't pass out I'll try my best not to cry about staying home tonight Can't help but feel trapped when everywhere I go I'm followed by a walking reminder of mistakes I made two years ago Can't help but feel sad when thinking 'bout this dismal way of life Locked in a concrete box thinking "this is how I'll die" I'm fucking tired now I need to go to sleep I've been running on empty for 3 weeks My time is getting short and I don't think I can support my heavy head as my body's falling weak Don't know how to escape My brain's caught in this self-destructive slump No exit 'til my crazy little heart is all smashed up I have no right to bitch about this shitty hand that I've been dealt Or ask for pity 'cause I do it to myself I'm fucking tired now I need to go to sleep I've been running on empty for 3 weeks My time is getting short and I don't think I can support my heavy head as my body's falling weak No way to stop feeling Trapped on Love Island once again All I want is to sleep in But now it's time to shape up and play pretend Mixed signals coming out of my mouth Now you're having your doubts It's all heading south I blew it all 'cause I caved in again I blew it all now I've lost a friend

I don't know if this means that I'm losing you With anything else, I wouldn't even care I have to say it's all a bit confusing to me And for some reason I can't seem to just leave it there I'd normally just get up and go do something else I'm usually as lazy as can be We're living in a procrastination generation And nobody does it better than me Would it scare you to say you love me just a little less 'Cause I can't win when I'm always having doubts And hey now, don't go thinking that I don't like you I just need to sit down and figure this shit out I really hope that it's alright To let you know that you've kept me up at night And I don't even know what I'm talking about And I'm talking to myself just to reassure my doubts Every time I think about you, I just start to cry I don't remember the last day I didn't have you on my mind And soon on a cold, dark night I hope that I can look up at you and you'll be looking back at me with arms wide open I need you to find me I need you beside me You can't be a memory Just stuck there behind me I hope that it's not all in my head And you're actually hearing the words that I've said Would it scare you to say you love me just a little less 'Cause I can't win when I'm always having doubts And hey now, don't go thinking that I don't like you I just need to sit down and figure this shit out Would it scare you to say you love me just a little less 'Cause I can't win when I'm always having doubts And hey now, don't go thinking that I don't like you I just need to sit down and figure this shit out

Snips 03:28
It's been a week since I last heard from you And I kinda feel like you've gone and decided that you're done with it And I just want to know why Why you think it's time to quit I don't mean to be obnoxious I just thought that I should fill you in on what's going on back home Oh but you don't care about that No you don't care about that But were you trying to get in my head with all those things you said to me I've been lying here in my bed reminiscing over those passed memories You didn't see it 'til now It all went over your head somehow I guess I'm sorry But I'm not I know who you are We've been through this before You've got this way of building people up and then throwing them out the door But no, I won't let you do that anymore But were you trying to get in my head with all those things you said to me I've been lying here in my bed reminiscing over those passed memories You didn't see it 'til now It all went over your head somehow I guess I'm sorry But I'm not I think I've wasted all my time Arguing with my own mind I forgot how to talk to you 'Cause of all those chances I passed by But you're not making it any less painless Leaving me all torn up and Shamelessly screaming scattered thoughts into the air What else am I supposed to make of this But were you trying to get in my head with all those things you said to me I've been lying here in my bed reminiscing over those passed memories You didn't see it 'til now It all went over your head somehow I guess I'm sorry But I'm not

Do you remember the night we all dressed up like astronauts And tried to cover Drake songs Even though we got the chords wrong Do you remember the week we got to skip class to make stupid jokes that no one else would get We haven't topped those yet Do you remember the night that we all got in trouble For being too loud playing Jonny & The Cowabungas 'Cause I remember those days like they were yesterday But that was years ago and life is nothing like that anymore I wanna die because I feel like those were the best days of our lives I wanna try to make these better But the time is passing by Half of us are going mad The other half are getting high Why were things so much better then Somebody tell me why I wanna die because I feel like those were the best days of our lives I wanna try to make these better But the time is passing by Half of us are going mad The other half are getting high Why were things so much better then Somebody tell me why

I'm going out of town and I won't be back for a week or two And I don't give a shit about coming back cause I won't even see you I've been waiting my whole life to meet someone like you and I don't know how I can let you walk away from me now Why don't we go for a walk through the park in the dead of night Water Street's quiet at this hour The cars are running red light And I don't know what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life But somehow I know that it's all gonna be just fine Three years ago, I could not have cared less You were talking shit on the phone, yeah you were a mess But I stuck around and here we are now Sitting on the ground three trees away from the abandoned pool house And I don't regret a second of it now Why don't we go for a walk through the park in the dead of night Water Street's quiet at this hour The cars are running red light And I don't know what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life But somehow I know that it's all gonna be just fine I may be lost in my thoughts And I don't know what the future holds for me Or what to do But I still have you so Why don't we go for a walk through the park in the dead of night Water Street's quiet at this hour The cars are running red light And I don't know what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life But somehow I know that it's all gonna be just fine
