It’s like, nobody wants to be all alone
And I didn’t want to cry all the way home
But I’ll take what I can get
Just picking up all the pieces you leave behind
Like everyone likes everyone but you
And everyone likes everyone, likes everyone too
And I’ll dig my own hole
And I’ll keep running circles around myself
What did you expect me to do?
I can put it all together but I’m not very good at following through
Like every word I ever heard you say
Maybe we can fall right into place

We were always thinking the same thing
But it’s so hard to make the first move
And these words feel so good
Hiding right behind my teeth
You were always somewhere I just couldn’t reach and
I see you every day but I can’t say a thing
And there’s so many fine lines
That I can’t tell which side I’m standing on
And I can’t read your mind
Like you can read mine
You always wrap me up in all the things that you say
You’re not making this easy
Do I trust myself or do I just let everything fall apart
Do I trust myself or do I just fade
Do you say that to everyone, or do you mean it when you’re saying it to me
Do you say that to everyone, or do you mean it when you say it to me

Did I give you the wrong impression?
Was nothing the wrong thing to say?
Did you need me to go out on a limb?
Did you feel the same things I did?
I could ask you a million questions
I could tell you everything
But you’ve built your own world
And I know it wouldn’t change anything
I’m not in love with you even though I wanted to be
I’m not in love with you, you’re not in love with me

I guess I’m comfortable in living rooms
And all the places that let me look right through you
I can find myself in the places I don’t know
When you take me there, and you take me there
And I don’t want anything to change
But I’ll die if everything stays the same
And you hang on every word I say
As if they mean something
It’s just the stupid things that keep me up at night
While I watch myself become a person I don’t really like
And I’ll blame it all on you
I don’t want to have to listen to myself

Tiptoe

Tiptoe through my head
You don’t have to understand
You don’t even have to listen
Because all of this belongs to me
Maybe all the stars aligned
You’re in the perfect place to pull my strings
Can’t get it back together
Watch it all come undone
Hold on, your grip around my chest
Hold on, and I just want to know why you won’t let me go
I’m slowly blurring at the edges
Knowing that I’ll always be alone in this
Nothing’s going to bring it around
But I still like the way that it feels
You can’t seem to figure out which way is up and
I think you just like it when you’re bringing me down
You don’t even see, You don’t even see me
But I still like the way that it feels

Falling apart, I never had it together
I know it’s my own fault
Wake up in the back of your car, not quite sure where we are
I know I’ve been here before
You know exactly who you are
And you’re better at this than anybody else
Remind me that it’s ok to be myself
If I feel wild inside, I won’t apologize anyway
Early riser, blue eyes on a grey sky
How long will my mouth be dry with nothing to say?
I wish I said all the things I meant to when I meant to
I wish you said all the things I needed to hear when you meant to
And you’re better at this than anybody else
Remind me that it’s ok to be myself
If I need to fall apart, if I need to start all over again
If I need to fall apart, if I need to start again
If I feel wild inside, I won’t apologize anyway

No Good

You don’t answer my calls
And I don’t hear from you anymore
But you still find a way to occupy my mind
From time to time
And I could say a lot of things
A lot of things that I don’t really mean
Just to try and make it feel a little better
But I still feel like shit every day
And it’s not that I really think I need you
It’s just that I don’t want to be alone
And it’s not that I wish I could go back but
I don’t want to let it go
Long summer days with nothing to do
I wasted all of them with you
When there’s nothing left of what you used to know
There’s no good reason to go home

Think about everything you’ve ever done and all the things that I didn’t do
Late at night when I can’t fall asleep I’m reliving every moment that I can’t forget
I’m not keeping count, I’m just sorting it out
Everyone knows better than me how to weather the storm and hide their insecurities
And I never know what I’m supposed to say, so I talk too much and I get in my own way
Everyone knows, everyone knows better (I talk too much and I get in my own way)
Everyone knows, everyone knows better (I talk too much and I get in my own way)
I’m not keeping count, I’m just sorting it out (I talk too much and I get in my own way)
I’m not bringing it up, I’m not bringing you down

Hang Around
02:27
|
|

I get dragged down by everything I come across
But I could hang around for the weekend or longer if you wanted me
I’ll split my time between where I want to be and what I want to leave behind
And I’ll split my mind between the things I care about and the things that hold me back
You wake up early in the morning and live your life without me
And I’ll lie awake at night or I’ll take a pill and fall asleep
I dream vividly, but I only remember the strangest things
A mission style painting in a Copenhagen row home overlooking the East River
And I’ll split my time between wondering what I could have done differently
And making the same mistakes again
Bury yourself in your routines, I’ll keep myself busy with something
Wondering
I know that you’re just tired, I’m tired too

Steady

I can’t seem to change
Different space of mind
But it’s all the same
Trying hard to focus
Not everything all at once
I wanna focus on you
You’re the only thing that’s true
Keep me steady
Keep me true
Keep me level
Keep me new
I wanna be who you see in the morning
Keep me steady
Keep me true
Keep me level
Keep me new
