I’ll write down every word So you can see it clearer Catch you like a bird Whose wings caught in a feeder A hug or two or someone to catch the tears You don’t deserve the bad things from past years I am here and I’m going to help you so Tell me everything Take a deep breath and let it out You will be safe and sound I will be there to hold you in my arms Don’t keep secrets hidden behind bars A kiss or two or someone to hold your hand Even if it’s hard I’ll try to understand I am here and I’m going to help you Tell me everything

They say it gets better so I picked up all the pieces to patch myself up I wandered the courtyard to find them again They’re chipping and dragging behind me It’s hard to keep track of each time I am breaking I’m running out of tape I can’t keep it together anymore Another night Forever fine I’ll keep it together for now Even though it only gets worse No matter how hard that i try It seems my best is the worst I’ll keep it together for now Even though it only gets worse They say it gets better but I’m tired of waiting for the light in the tunnel I’m finding no purpose in life but I’m sticking around anyway Another night Forever fine I’ll keep it together for now Even though it only gets worse No matter how hard that i try It seems my best is the worst I’ll keep it together for now Even though it only gets worse Even though it only gets worse

Safe and salmonella sleeping soulless bunch of people peeking pandemonium jumps around the room Balloons and cherry pits among the children chewing bubble gum I’m fading, I'm fading far too soon But you can wake the dimples light my fits of puzzle pieces What's the matter with me anyway? you can only feed the birds whose cries of joy can leave me wondering What's the matter with me anyway? Turned away because the nitty gritty details seem to bore my pretty Why did I stay? Bury the dirt forget your face I loved you but I can replace the words you used to say You collect my simple mind the watermelons seemed so blind and What's the matter with me anyway You won't know the reasons that I’m falling through the seasons What's the matter with me anyway Try as I might to get you out of my mind it seems like I’ve done everything I know it’s bad I know that I’ve had enough of this summer love Pack up the tattered tablecloths the checkered patterns all worn off What's the matter with me anyway you can’t fix what’s broken my temporary token asks me What's the matter with me anyway?

Believe me, I ain’t lyin I ain’t gonna do you no harm Believe me, it would be easy But I won’t go around breaking your heart I ain’t lyin, I ain’t lyin I ain’t gonna tear you apart So trust me, like its a movie, I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine I wonder, if you'll leave me And are you gonna be here for long You need me, so don't be crazy, Before you know it I will be gone Don't you worry, when you are with me It's easy breezy, and everything's fine If you love me it will be easy I'll be yours if you'll be mine Don't you worry bout a thing cuz I'll be listening I’ll be the one who loves you And puts nothing above you Wipe that smirk of your face and don't you hesitate Don't leave me waiting here forever You know you’re really clever I'll be yours if you'll be mine I'll be yours if you'll be mine

Naptime 02:18
A deep blue sleep/ Forget to dream The waters cold/ Wash over me Until the tide/ Forgets my smile I’m coming back/ For more Her sweet embrace/ So warm and great I wish that i could stay But if i remain/ I’ll miss all the fun 20 minutes of naptime will do I would wait/ until the day Where sleep comes naturally For now im sure/ one nap or more will help me catch the waves If i dive right in/The splash will spray and I can’t be /pulled away At three pm/ I wade out to shore To walk along the sand Her sweet embrace/ So warm and great I wish that i could stay But if i remain/ I’ll miss all the fun Give me five minutes of naptime or more

While You were on the town I’m having fun by proxy You're getting down and dirty with your girl in the front seat Hair slicked back you’re gonna reach to feel your heartbeat Doing things you know are gonna get you in trouble Talking smack doin crack youre gonna pay double Gotta work it out get home clean and you’ll be fine If you had twelve days to get away you’d hop a train and go But youre set in your ways instead here you’ll stay And everyone is going to know You’re just another kid Burnt out like your cigarettes Making bets and spending all his dough You’re gonna pay the price For getting super high You’ve forgotten what’s important in life And if you’re getting by with a little bit of effort All you needs a little push and maybe you would come first Instead you’re going out participating in the bar fight You’re gonna dream big study up with mommas money Working at a grocery is pretty fucking funny You’ll get another job buy a suit and you’ll be fine If you had twelve days to get away you’d hop a train and go But youre set in your ways instead here you’ll stay And everyone is going to know You’re just another kid Burnt out like your cigarettes Making bets and spending all his dough You’re gonna pay the price For getting super high You’ve forgotten what’s important in life Go find yourself a lady Your life is super shady Don’t forget your money, can’t forget the baby The runaway is crazy He ain’t feeling ok lately He’s never gonna leave here never gonna say goodbye

He was a band boy running Miles away from his home He's got a switchblade in his pocket and guitar on his back The soles of his shoes are worn and black He won't be gone for long the city's gonna eat him up To that band boy running Good luck Run faster You gotta keep up You’re after Way too much Play your golden guitar And write songs on broken strings These streets that you've been playing on Are heartless and cruel If you don’t make any money You’ll break all the rules Youll fall behind unless you pick up your pace Dear band boy running You're losing the race Run faster You gotta keep up You’re after Way too much He’s got a few more laps to go To get a headlining show The voices in his head say “you’re gonna make it big Just one more day and maybe you’ll write a hit” He’ll do anything to make a couple of bucks To that band boy running You’re fucked

He says he loves me but I’m not certain Because when he does the voices disagree He is wrong I’m not perfect The illusion in his mind isn't real I cant convince myself I’m worthy of happiness Or anyone who makes me feel ok I can’t break your heart cause my mind won’t let me I’m better off alone, you’re better off without me Don’t write him back, it isn’t worth it I’ve left him hanging again All his words made me certain I’m better off alone, he’s better off without me I cant convince myself I’m worthy of happiness Or anyone who makes me feel ok I can’t break your heart cause my mind won’t let me I’m better off alone, you’re better off without me I’m better off alone, you’re better off without me anyway

Growing Up 05:17
Falling In my dreams I’m falling No one is there to hold my hand The grounds getting closer now Laughter Unstoppable laughter If only I could catch myself Grow wings and try to fly Find out I’m on my own Headfirst, heartstrong Before I realize I’m going to hit earth Falling fast I’m headed for Bright green grass Or maybe the great deep blue And I know nothing at all nothing at all screaming I cant stop screaming The rush of air goes by I cant open my eyes Save me Can somebody save me Hold out a net to break my fall Reverse gravity and time Find out I’m on my own Headfirst, heartstrong Before i realize I’m going to hit earth Falling fast I’m headed for Bright green grass Or maybe the great deep blue And I know nothing at all nothing at all Who can help me now? Will I ever land? Am I really on my own? I’m getting closer to the ground. Find out I’m on my own Headfirst, heartstrong Before I realize I’m going to hit earth Falling fast I’m headed for Bright green grass Or maybe the great deep blue And I know nothing at all nothing at all

It’s late I’m fine I’m great Alright? Its noon The sun wakes me up from my sleep too soon I’m fine Alright? Saturday and I feel the same Half awake and I’m onto something Bitter coffee headache swirls But I can breathe so I know it’s going to be ok
