twin sized bed
02:50
|

|
the hairs on your head are getting longer
each night we talk on the phone
we fit into my bed twin sized against all odds
and maybe one day we’ll own our own
i light the matches in my childhood bedroom
to watch them burn me down
the way you make it seem like i’m not careless
i’ll thank you someday somehow
have you found what you are looking for, i’ll it nail to our new front door
so everybody knows that we can call this home
i won’t say goodbye anymore, you can pick my thoughts up from the floor
and we can fall asleep without our shadows
i’ll be home soon and you’ll have to make room
but your bed has always been bigger than mine
you’ll be home soon, i’ll be right there with you
and our bed will have to be bigger this time
(you're always in my dreams
it's always on repeat)

if i give you my heart will you take it someplace and never bring it back
i don’t want to feel sad, don’t want to feel bad, just want to fit into this crowd
talking too loud, wandering around, can’t seem to find the words to scream
so i don’t say anything at all i mean until i go back
home, where i grow, where i know how it snows
which is slow, where i go, when i show i can’t flow
like the road, all alone, status quo, i hide low
in the ground, where you found, the world is nothing like it sounds
if i washed the walls and put up paper would you know that it’s still me
watching my speed but culminating in a crash at the end of the block
catch the clock, it might fall off, and i know that i can’t fix it
so we’ll win, like we’re kids and we’ll go back
home, where i grow, where i know how it snows
which is slow, where i go, when i show i can’t flow
like the road, all alone, status quo, i hide low
in the ground, where you found, the world is nothing like it sounds

escape from planet earth
01:54
|

no lights, just you and i
hang tight, theres nothing outside
you take me down into the meadow
you take me walking through the night
you know, i like sleeping through the daylight
we go, someplace new to feel surprised
you take me to the place where we’ll get old
you take me where you’ve been your whole life
i said, that life was boring
back when, it was 5:45 in the morning
you told me to wait until the sun froze up
you told me to wait until the day closed shut
i can’t believe we found each other
i’ll hold your hand until it hurts
i can’t believe the world is over
i’ll be here as it turns
i can’t believe we found each other
i’ll hold your hand until it hurts
i can’t believe the world is over
i’ll be here as it turns
as it turns
until we escape planet earth

fall becomes winter
03:11

i miss you at the end of the summer
and even more when fall becomes winter
all the leaves lie defeated on the ground
and i can’t help but notice you’re not around
it’s dark through the day time
it’s night time all day in my mind
you’re empty in your bed
i’m empty in mine instead
you were right next to me for a second
i was gone before we could understand it
your streets aren’t as hollow as mine are
but you can see the stars when you get up north
it’s dark through the day time
it’s night time all day in my mind
you’re empty in your bed
i’m empty in mine instead

“this doesn’t feel real” that’s what you told me
kept my mouth shut wondering what does
can’t wake up monday from my dreams
i think it’s strange just like what doug sings
i know when i go home i won’t remember it
this is circumstantial, but it always is
you will see the ocean and feel reality
and i will watch it on the tv screen
its warm somewhere and you sit on the floor
i hold my breath and break the silence
you’ll get something back from her
turn the volume up, we all know that you’re in love
i know when i go home i won’t remember it
this is circumstantial, but it always is
you will see the ocean and feel reality
and i will watch it on the tv screen
(can't find the same name
take drugs just to escape
i named this one after you
but you can't tell unless i want you to )

pictures falling off my wall on top of me, this can’t be all
of what we are and who i was, i have too much time to fuck up
procrastinating on my watch, i watched the train and didn’t jump off
the glow keeps climbing up the edge, i hope i don’t smell like cigarettes
i know i could do a better job of keeping my friends closer
but things keep getting in the way and i’m trying to stay someplace warm
i know i could do a better job of responding to all of the questions
but things keep getting in the way and i don’t know if i’m okay these days
keeping my bedroom door shut, there is no way i’ll be enough
i’m cut in half all of the time, i care but i don’t even mind
there’s things i’m supposed to be doing, but all i did was change the tuning
i hope that you like the way it sounds, i know that it’ll never be renowned
i know i could do a better job of writing songs that sound different
but things keep getting in the way and i can’t find a place to put my fingers
i know i could do a better job of saying things that haven’t been said
but things keep getting in the way and i know you know i’m not okay these days

is it wrong to want to be loved
by people who will never love you
is it wrong to want to be enough
when you’re in between your own point of view
is it wrong to want to be gone
they gasp and ask how could he pull the trigger
is it wrong to want to be young
when you didn’t think about the flaw in “forever”
you are overdue
but you never follow through
i’m just residue
and i forget who i’m talking to
you’re royal blue, you’re misconstrued
and you dance in thes dark on the avenues
you’re deja vu, you’re never rescued
and you’re always running late too
is it wrong to want to be here
when everybody else has disappeared
is it wrong to rhyme the wrong words
and change the way everything works
is it wrong to always be wrong
it’s not my fault i can’t find the answers
is it wrong to just move on
and figure everything out later
you are everyday
but you never stop the rain
i’m just what i say
and i can’t slow down the pain
you’re under paid, you’re on the way
and you sit on the street on saturday
you’re made of clay, you’re far away
and you’re scared someday you’ll fade
