Good Old Friend

So you want to see what I’ve been up to?
Have no shame you’re gonna add me until I finally give in
Could it be that you forgot what happened?
Now you’re wondering about your good old friend, well let me fill you in
Don’t hold your breath, ‘cause I remember this mistake
I told you then, but still you never want to take me at my word
I promise nothing’s changed, you’re still the same.
Of course you would never send a letter
Say you’re sorry or that you know better now,
Or why you’re reaching out.
So much easier to hit a button, put it all on me to then do something
How is this all working out, now that you’ve been figured out?
Don’t hold your breath, ‘cause I remember this mistake
I told you then, but still you never want to take me at my word
I promise nothing’s changed, you’re still the same.
Can’t say that I’m surprised you’re here
I haven’t thought of you in years until tonight
Guess I’m still on your mind.
Don’t hold your breath, ‘cause I remember this mistake
I told you then, but still you never want to take me at my word
I promise nothing’s changed, you’re still the same.

Lies You've Told
03:47
|

|
I don’t want to hear it, don’t tell me anything
You can keep your secrets, far away from me
But you’re still gonna say it, can’t keep it to yourself
Your face too red to save it, so you blame someone else
So throw your sticks and stones, I’d rather broken bones
Than hear the lies you’ve told
The story keeps on changing, but always sounds the same
You think it’s entertaining, because you have no shame
They know just what they’re doing, but you don’t have a clue
It took a while but it’s been slowly consuming you
So throw your sticks and stones, I’d rather broken bones
Than hear the lies you’ve told

Mine Again
03:57
|
|||
|
I remember a time when being online meant standing still
And you could unwind with a curious mind you didn’t have to fill
With every minute’s newsflash, celebrity trash or newest trend
So many baby photos, so many violent videos, and former friends
I want my, my whole mind, to be mine again.
I want my, my whole mind, to be mine again.
I know it’s a distraction, but my reaction, is to hold on tighter
Than to all my memories, I can’t recall a single thing I don’t write down
I hate this new appendage, where power is percentage, and I’m all out.
I want my, my whole mind, to be mine again.
I want my, my whole mind, to be mine again.
I’m tired of missing moments, ‘cause I’m spending every minute somewhere else
It’s messing with the notion of all the ways I used to see myself
Guess I’ll try again, ‘cause
I want my, my whole mind, to be mine again.
I want my, my whole mind, to be mine again.
I want my, my whole mind, to be mine again.

Anything
03:01

I’m never living in the moment, save for the moments when I feel like shit
And I know this won’t last forever, but when I get this way it feels like it
When things are looking up, I look down
I’ve been told to lighten up but I don’t know how
If I hear one more time that life is short, enjoy it now, I might freak out
‘Cause I don’t know how to enjoy anything.
The glass has always been half empty, any other take is clearly wrong
And I’ve been doing this forever, but I can never write a happy song
When things are at their worst I’m at my best
And I’ve learned to go through life expecting less
Please don’t be concerned, cause I am fine I’m not depressed, I’m just upset.
Cause I don’t know how to enjoy anything.
Cause I can’t see the future, just the past
I put my best foot forward, two steps back
It’s like I’m always bracing for impact,
Cause I don’t know how to enjoy anything
I’m never living in the moment, save for the moments when I feel like shit.

I Said It
02:53
|

|
I could say I didn’t mean it, I could say that it was dumb
Blame it on being far from home, blame it on being young
But it doesn’t mean a thing ‘cause I said it and I’m sorry
I didn’t know it then but I know it now
So many years ago I think about it more than you could know
Took me 14 years to do it, to seek you out and make things right
Haven’t heard a word from you since then, if I never that’s all right
Maybe it didn't mean a thing ‘cause I said it and I’m sorry
I didn’t know it then but I know it now
So many years ago I think about it more than you could know
Heard it’s never too late to apologize
You don’t have to forgive me but please recognize
I know that I hurt you and I know why it was wrong
I’m sorry it took me so long
Maybe this doesn’t mean a thing ‘cause I said it and I’m sorry
I didn’t know it then but I know it now
So many years ago I think about it more than you could know

Still Hurts
03:31
|

|
Sometimes I wonder who you’re with, think back to when we were kids
Then I remember what you did, and it still hurts
The memories start out nice, summer shows and seaside heights
Then I think about that night, and it still hurts
I gotta leave it in the past, when will I learn that you can’t go back?
It always leaves me feeling sad, cause it still hurts
Think of all the things we’d say, if I ran into you one day
I’d figure out some kind of way to tell you it still hurts
I gotta leave it in the past, when will I learn that you can’t go back?
It always leaves me feeling mad, cause it still hurts
Bet you haven’t told a soul
And after all these years you thought I’d let it go
The memory’s so clear, it’s almost like you’re here
Except this time I know.
Bet you can’t leave it in the past, I bet you wish that you could go back.
I bet it leaves you feeling sad, bet it still hurts

Erase You
03:22
|
|||
|
I used to have it memorized, but haven’t used it in a long, long time
And since you’re not around, I wonder what would happen if I used it now.
Would they sound like you?
Could I stand it if they do?
And I just want to hear you one more time.
I have a couple saved, and I know every line but it’s not the same
And if I only knew, I would’ve picked up every time I saw it was you.
But it’s too late
And every time I scroll I stop to read your name
And I just want to hear you one more time.
I can’t erase you, I can’t make space for new things
I can’t, I can’t erase you.

Composure
03:14
|

|
Because I love you I would make excuses
With all this time to think I know I knew this
You kept it hidden in plain site, I always thought that you were right
And now I know
I repeated things I now regret, things have changed I was a child then
I just want to talk about what made you this way
And I don’t trust myself to keep composure when you
Say the things you do
Waited a year to test these waters
Thought by now she’d miss her daughter
But I was wrong
Never say the things inside my head
We choose silence over arguments
I just want to talk about what made you this way
And I don’t trust myself to keep composure when you
Say the things you do

The Shine
03:58
|
|||
|
This chip on my shoulder’s gotten bigger as I’ve grown older
And with it’s heavy weight, it’s hard to feel as grateful as I should
Cause when your’ little everything you hold looks like gold
And so you try to hide it just to keep it safe, but no one knows
What happens over time, it starts to lose its shine, sometimes for good
I still see it in the little things we do
It might be buried but it’s in you
Try to clear my head, try to shake it off, take a break
But all I hear is bad news, don’t know how much more I can take
I have to look inside, searching for the shine to get me through
I still see it in the little things we do
It might be buried but it’s in you
The sky is always darkest just before the morning light
And even though you’re lonely, know that you’re not alone tonight
The thing about the shine is you only ever find it if you look
I still see it in the little things we do
It might be buried but it’s in you

Missing Pieces
02:44
|

|
Oh my god, I can’t believe it
Never thought I’d do that thing that I just did with you.
Let me tell you one thing no one that I know
Would ever think I like the things you do
Guess that’s what happens when you fall in love
Find all the missing pieces you are made of
Something in the way you say my name
It makes me feel like you know me more than I do
Record time you had me look inside
And showed me something new about myself it’s true
Guess that’s what happens when you fall in love
Find all the missing pieces you are made of
Oh my god I can’t believe it never thought I’d do that thing that I just did with you
Something in the way you say my name it makes me feel like you know me more
Than I do
Guess that’s what happens when you fall in love
Find all the missing pieces you are made of

Burnt Out
04:35
|
|||
|
You can see right through my skin
I’ve been spread so thin
You watch all the light fade out inside of me
But you’re never satisfied
And no matter how hard I try I can’t tell you there’s no more
No more, no more, no more
‘Cause I’m done burnt out, but I never show it
Like a star in the sky dead, but you’d never know it
‘Cause it takes so long for you to see.
I have learned the world keep stunning
And we can’t take it with us when we go
So why do I keep pushing myself
Further from the things that make me whole?
But no more
‘Cause I’m done burnt out, but I never show it
Like a star in the sky dead, but you’d never know it
‘Cause it takes so long for you to see.

Young & Still Believed
01:42
|
|||
|
Four years ago I went to sleep
Ever since then been trying to keep myself
Awake in this new nightmare
It starts like every scary dream
It senses when you’re at your weakest
Though you fight it drags you back there
I should have known
This world was only ever shown to me in pieces
I want to see everything that was promised back when I was young and still believed
