Wisher
I walk faster but it always catches up to me
we talk all night, never saying anything
I am all that's in my way do you
ever feel the same?
miracles don't exist in us
we just wish ourselves away
I'm not like this way
removed and so ashamed
Just A Failure
when the a.m. rolls around
all the cool kids are coming down
it's a shame that they don't feel well being themselves
let go the things I never had
I've been holding on
this time I'll disappoint the past
prove repetition wrong
I'm just a failure
feeling better than I ever have
if this is life then I'm ready to live
it feels so good to feel again
the air's inviting you and I
to get up for the while
at last I understand why
Dark
you'll be the first flight out of dallas
you leave but never get away
from the color you swear that your life takes in this town
because scenery is just a shade
you live in regret
it hurts to know how much you'll miss
I want to make it feel alright
hold you through the dark tonight
so what if now is all you have
live as if you never knew
what it was to lose
honestly have you ever been honest with yourself
or are you someone elses point of view
you live in regret
it hurts to know how much you'll miss
it's what you expect
that leaves you such a mess
one day you'll learn
no place will make you happier
are you someone elses point of view
are you someone elses point of view
Not All Bad
I barely know you from a stranger but I
here now ask the friend to talk
nothing's quite as hard
as you've been on yourself
just stay here
couldn't we all use the company
when days don't last
couldn't we stand to hear someone say
we're not all bad
let's catch a movie
something to make us love again
lets stay out all night
go everywhere we took
live while we're alive
and take the world for more
for more
when the sun is coming up
and we're still hanging out
it's never been so nice to have someone around
who believes in love
let's not make it home tonight
because days don't last
Miss Louisiana
I've been twice on the highway
back to texas, with heaven behind me
and it's a shame on our anniversary
we've nothing left to celebrate
darling, I can't replace you
I have to keep on moving
or I get lost in all I'm losing
I stay, drifting through my head
with the static you left
give me closure
it's all I want from you
Watching, Wasting, Waiting
watching you taking your time
wasting mine just waiting on you
misery might keep me hanging around
if you’re never gonna let me live this down
every train I take, stops the same place
right where you are
it’s been a long time
but I hear you don’t wander far
from lonesome hours at the bar
call to ask me why I never come around
when are you gonna let me live this down?
I was tired of lying alone for you
so I became a desert to your raining
finding myself in the sun
I became a desert to your raining
cos' I don’t want to be the one
watching you taking your time
wasting mine just waiting on you
you always keep me hanging around
you’re never gonna let me live this down
City By The Sea
I'm a thousand miles from home
sleeping in my clothes
living like ive never have before
when the city falls into the sea
I try and make myself believe
that I matter here but im only losing sleep
if only I could feel less indifferent
then maybe I could be more existent
I'm dreaming hopelessly
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
on the rooftop late at night
writing songs about my life
praying day will break before I close my eyes
I wish I had a little more to miss
than friends that don't exist
and the town that felt like scars across my wrist
if only I could feel less indifferent
then maybe I could be more existent
I'm dreaming hopelessly
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
if only I could feel (less indifferent)
if only I could feel (less indifferent)
I'm dreaming hopelessly
in a city by the sea
it's taken me so long to sing a simple song
I don't belong
I don't belong
I don't belong
Maps
I don't mind if we never make it to where we're headed
as long as we don't end up here
we need to find our own way
believe in something we half made
we're making good time
remember where we were last year
driving all around this tired town
looking for something to do and telling ourselves
we need to find our own way
believe in something we half made
we need to find our own way
believe in something we half made
so many times i dreamt a normal life
seeing her at night and what it must feel like
to wake up in my bed
no ringing in my head
it's been sometime
it's been sometime
it's based on love
we'll never know
what the world could be
where this could go
called home to say I'm doing better
think I've finally may have myself together
we need to find our own way
believe in something we half made
we need to find our own way
believe in something we half made
Pillow Fighting
If these candles don't burn out before you make it
lets put them out in celebration
over a bad bad bad bad year
you faded you faded
to lonelier places
and I can find you there
and I can find you there
you pillow fight and flirt
thought you'd never get hurt
so much blood down on the ground
come down, come down
come down, come down
Sunday Parking Lot
I heard the news states away
You were fairing through white sleep
Collapsed outside the restaurant
Couldn’t dry my eyes at the thought of you
Went to visit you in a hospital room downtown
You barely saw me
Spent the afternoon falling
Fall apart
You knew better than to give up
I only wish that I had
Lately I’ve been thinking
Everyone here is leaving
Me alone
To wait my time to go
Maybe I should go
How The Lonely Keep The Lovely
somewhere in between
here and the window pane
life is gray
I stay hoping things will change
it's been weeks since I've seen the sun
and we become colder in the valley
nothing is real to me
everyone is gone
said they couldn't stand to think
how the lonely keep
the lovely fades away
in the confidence of friends
I don't think I'll be well again
Foster
My legs are shaking
As I stare into the waking
Guess I always knew
You were broken on the inside
Watched life passing you by
But you couldn't move
And no one stopped to ask you
If it was okay, oh
Surely there had to be a way to smile, Again
Pale familiar faces remind me
We weren't always strangers
Burying a friend
Remember the year we all spent laughing
Feels guilty to feel happy
It never should
But I didn't stop to ask you
If it was okay, oh
Surely there had to be a way
To feel okay, oh
Surely there had to be a way
To smile again
To let life in
Through the closet closed
Heaven from our souls
I'm okay
Surely there had to be a way
Okay
Surely there had to be a way
Okay
Okay
