In a thousand night times
The stars won't align
For you and me or for
Anyone or anything
We lived entire lifetimes
In mixtapes and unpacked boxes
But now those lives are done
You don't know what to say
You know what I want to hear
I guess I've got to go
Unless you ask me to stay
I always dug the way your
Lightning eyes
Illuminate the skies and
How they always struck me down
We spent so many night times
Empty bottles and lost conversations
But now those nights are gone
You don't know what to say
You know what I want to hear
I guess I've got to go
Unless you ask me to stay
You don't know what to say
You know what I want to hear
I guess I've got to go
But I don't got anywhere to be

Honey

Honey, you're wasting your time on me
I'll remind you we don't got a lot of that
Honey, you're trying too hard
Oh, enough of that
It won't end
The way you want it to
You said you feel so alive
When you're doing what's wrong for you
You close your eyes
'Cause mistakes are made for another day
Honey, I tried to tell you
Things ain't gonna go your way
Honey, you lied
When you said that you're gonna be ok
It won't end
The way you want it to
You said you feel so alive
When you're doing what's wrong for you
You close your eyes
'Cause mistakes are made for another day

What you told me
In the passenger seat
Forever belongs
To you and me
It's not the first time
You've made this mistake
Led by your heart
It's bound to break
I never was too sure
Of things the way they were
Don't look at me like you love me
Don't look at me like you care
This life wasn't meant for you and me
Don't look at me like you love me
I won't pretend
I'm not insecure
I don't know what it is
I'm looking for
I can't quite see
Beyond this haze
That's okay, the harm's been
Done anyways
I never was too sure
Of things the way they were
Don't look at me like you love me
Don't look at me like you care
This life wasn't meant for you and me
Don't look at me like you love me

Folks
02:30

You raised me
You raised me well, I know
I told you
But I don't tell you enough
Those things that I should say
There's less time every day
You gave me
So much I never asked for
You never
Hesitated when I needed more
I hope that you don't think
You wasted it on me
I don't know when I'm coming home
You're waiting by your phones
I guess life it goes this way
Regret will have its day
You told me
That life's just ain't that long
There's no way to do it wrong
But can I do it on my own
I saw you
Just the other day
You told me
Things won't always be this way
I won't know what to do
When all that becomes true
I don't know when I'm coming home
You're waiting by your phones
I guess life it goes this way
Regret will have its day
You told me
That life's just ain't that long
There's no way to do it wrong
But can I do it on my own

The Night Before
03:09
|

|
Don't remember me
From the night before
It won't do you any good anymore
That's okay, don't remember my name
There's nothing wrong, no, no, there's no shame
That's for your best
I'm such a mess
There's not a thing that you want to do with me
Don't remember me
From what we did last night
There's nothing wrong, but you know it's right
And we'll always have that time alone
And that passion, reminiscent of love
But that ain't love
That's for your best
I'm such a mess
There's not a thing that you want to do with me
Don't remember me

Daydream
02:14
|

In a kind of a daydream
I'm walking down Orange street
I see what I saw
When I was young,
In a kind of a daydream
Full of dumb vision
Kicking at cans
Where did I go?
Now I'm doing OK,
I moisturize
Now I see the world through
Dimmer eyes
In a kind of a daydream
Picking a paycheck
Slipping through nights
What have I done?
In a kind of a daydream
Full of dumb visions
Kicking at cans
Where have I gone?
Now I'm doing OK,
I moisturize
Now I see the world through
Dimmer eyes
In a kind of a daydream
Full of dumb visions
Kicking at cans
Where have I gone?

The Guys
03:13
|

|
Well the guys are messed up
But we still have a good time
Sleep through the afternoon
Burn through our money at night
And there's no point to any of this
But they're all good friends of mine
Yeah, the guys are messed up
But we still have a good time
But we can't talk about pain
Til we're too drunk to speak right
And you just broke down and cried to me
And I've known you for years
But I still feel like a stranger
'Cause you never showed that side to me
Well the streets empty out now
And it's time to part ways
Without ever getting close enough
To what we wanted to say
Man, you hold a world inside
That I could never know
And all that I can hope is maybe
I can catch a glimpse before you go
But we can't talk about pain
Til we're too drunk to speak right
And you just broke down and cried to me
And I've known you for years
But I still feel like a stranger
'Cause you never showed that side to me
Yeah, the guys are messed up, but we still have a good time

In Time
03:45

Oh, Lady Lazarus, what do you think you're going to do
You gave so much but now there's nothing left over for you
You live the colors of a synesthetic symphony
But hide behind a smile what it is you really see
I know - how much you've tried
Always - I have known you to rise
You lose yourself when it seems easiest to sleep
But life's the end so where else have you got to be
Things won't
Seem so
Tragic
In time
I've only caught a glimpse of what's never seen the light of day
Standing in the rain until you learned you can't wash away pain
And now there's butane on your fingers, bottles in your car
But these can only ever really make it seem so far
I know - how much you've tried
Always - I have known you to rise
You lose yourself when it seems easiest to sleep
But life's the end so where else have you got to be
Things won't
Seem so
Tragic
In time
You lose yourself when it seems easiest to sleep
But life's the end so where else have you got to be

It's Morning
02:54
|
|||
|
You can be upset about the things that you've done
But you can't sleep them off, now
You gotta brush your teeth, you gotta wash your bod
And you can't put that off, now
'Cause life goes on and so will you
And someday, sometime, you'll feel new
So wake up, it's morning
And everything's still here
We're not going anywhere
Wake up, it's morning
You can put one foot right in front of the other one
You've got it right, now
You're gonna eat toast, you're gonna get dressed
You're gonna do it right now
'Cause life goes on and so will you
And someday, sometime, you'll feel new
So wake up, it's morning
And everything's still here
We're not going anywhere
Wake up, it's morning
It's easier to break than it is to build up
It's easier to let yourself go
It's harder to be sad than it is to be happy
But it's so worth it, I know
