CRYING
04:14
|

|
i'm gonna be waiting a long time
i hope i find out they were wrong
you're so wonderful
they think you're not
the one
so let me cry and let me go
and if it eases all my pain
let me cry
hanging on you like a keychain
i just wanna take your last name darling
fuck a hyphen, nothing gets between us
no seatbelts, just driving on-
east, don't erase my life, i need ya
east, don't erase me too
east, don't erase my love, i need ya
'least don't erase my view of you
i know something else will get me through this
writing these songs ain't gonna make you like me
what do i gotta do to get you to notice me?
don't stop now, i don't wanna keep you waiting
don't stop now, we can get it all back
you don't feel the way i do, you tell me that
i'm missing the point you made to me
and i can hardly breathe

POSTER

and i can't believe i let myself down this time, again
and i can't believe i let my hopes get so damn high, again
and i can't believe i let myself down this time, again
and i can't believe i let my hopes get so damn high, again
now i don't care about anyone
i only got the time for you
i'm tired of keeping up appearances
i just wanna stay in my room
you're the poster on my wall
you're the poster on my wall
you're the poster on my wall
you're the poster on my wall
and i can't believe i let myself down this time, again
and i can't believe i let my hopes get so damn high, again
and i can't believe i let myself down this time, again
and i can't believe i let my hopes get so damn high, again
give in to us whenever you want
don't got a plan, just wanna see you
in my arms again

DAY OFF
02:15
|
|||
|
if i sit around on my day off
i shouldn't feel bad about that
but i do
i got calls to make
and plans to break
they can wait
yeah, they can wait
i don't wanna do any of that
i wanna write a song that will make me feel better
i wanna write a song that will make me feel better
i wanna write a song that will make me feel better
i wanna write a song that will make me feel better
than right now
what if i stay up?
cause sleeping is difficult with you on my mind
and my mind isn't made up yet
i wanna write a song that will make me feel better
i wanna write a song that will make me feel better
i wanna write a song that will make me feel everything
all at once
on my day off

LONELY
01:55
|
|||
|
i'm not just lonely when i'm sad
i can smile and feel bad
my hearts been wasted and that's that
and i keep running on back
i'm only human i assume
and love will find me, so i'm told
but my heart, it feels like a tune
no one will ever want to sing to
left my ego in the drugstore lot
left me out here with my stuff
guess you loved me in my goodyear blimp
like a zeppelin, i implied
yeah, i feel closer now to you than i ever did
do do do do do do do do do

DON'T MISS
02:12
|
|||
|
i don't miss the days when i was young
no, everything was torture to everyone
i don't miss the days when i was young
i wanna see the future now
back to the future like assembly lines
i'm missing a coil, still couldn't tell you why
i'm wired up and i'm wasted
face it: it's hard to text you locations
now i don't miss anything
business park, i sit on yellowish lines
i leave my keys in the car, i punch myself in the eye
iowa state plates in my face
i'm faded off of two cases
now i don't miss anything
i don't miss the days when i was young
no, everything was torture to everyone
i don't miss the days when i was young
i wanna see the future now
belligerent drunk, i eat my pizza in peace
i peak my eyes through a curtain, i hope that no one sees
see me outside for a minute
might cry for a little bit
now i don't miss anything
beneath me, i crumble like a gingerbread man
i made amends with reflections, still i count joy on one hand
haven't been the same since
haven't been the same since
haven't been the same since

MEDICATE
02:38
|
|||
|
the first time that i saw your face
it's a force of habit to medicate myself
the first time you took me in place
it's a force of habit to medicate myself
the first time that i felt real good
it's a force of habit to medicate myself
the first time that i knew i meant nothing
it's a force of habit to medicate myself
the first time that i heard you had died
it's a force of habit to medicate myself
and you never heard back, i can't stop crying
it's a force of habit to medicate myself
and you don't know how it feels
to be in hideaway - sideways
it's not your fault that i get so frustrated
that disappointment, it smothers me
now i'm suffering
pin that poster on my face
i'm a drywall stain
i'm a callous age
and i suggest we move on
cause i can't quit it now
i can't quit it now
i can't quit it now
i won't break down again
wondering why-
why do i do what i do when i do it?

HIDE
02:06
|

|
and what do you consider being together?
and what do you consider breaking up?
and what do you consider being alone
when i feel alone all the time?
even when the room is full
it's easy for me to hide
that i wanna die
that i wanna die
that i wanna die
that i wanna die
uh huh, uh huh, you're all i want
uh huh, uh huh, you're all i want
uh huh, uh huh, you're all i want you know
hold my 85 percenter battery or phone life
i don't like it when you drain me of all my plans
man, i think that i would be better dead
i wanna die
i wanna die
i wanna die
i wanna die
i wanna die
i wanna die
i wanna die
i wanna die

MERCY
01:56
|
|||
|
and something in me knows
that something in me grows
and nothing in me shows me mercy
because nothing in me knows
do you wanna hear me out?
hung up - have i ever been the one to let you down?
like, so what baby? chew me up, or giddy up,
you're gonna hurt my back
acai bowl on the westside
i've been unstable for the last while lately
always getting in the way of change
or changing faces, placing all the blame
you really fuck me up
and something in me knows
that something in me grows
and nothing in me shows me mercy
because nothing in me knows
and i know that you won't bite into it
and i know that you won't tell me how you feel
mmm hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
