White Lighter

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

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

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

I'm Important
01:14

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

Procrastination
03:24
|
|||
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

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

Victoria Park

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
