What if we ran away, from everything
I was paralyzed...all weekend
You’re so perfect...just not in a medical way
The strength it takes, to be with me
Oh yeah, alright
What if we finally said... fuck everything
I’d be terrified... all weekend
You're so perfect
Just not in a medical way
These mistakes... you see in me
Oh yeah, alright
What if we ran away...what if we
What if we ran away
You’re so perfect
What if we ran away

Salt on the Water

These tidal waves
Drive us insane
Your holy water,
Burning skin
Like acid rain
And I knew that he would
always blame me
The worst got worse
With hollow lips that cannot breathe
Does it make it right
Does it make you wanna leave
Just wake up
And go to sleep
I knew right before you left
There’d be nothing left for me
And it’s just not worth waking up for

I knew I’d miss you
But you’re already gone
Another story
And the pictures are hand drawn
Your days left here are covered now in grey
I knew I’d miss you
But at least not today
And you’ll continue to be beautiful
But I’m already gone
Take a step back and remember what you said
Close your eyes on purpose
On a hospital bed
So lonesome, so broken
Collapsing with each breath
I knew I’d miss you
I knew I’d miss you
And you’ll continue to be beautiful
But i’m already gone

And we say the things we don’t say enough.
When the outside world has given up.
And we’ve been sick all winter and my brains not any better
but anyway... but anyway.
She said to write it down
And then to throw it away
I love you, she said now anyway.
So walk this off, blood at your feet
Every day
Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.
And we’ve been sick all winter
and my brains just getting bitter...
but anyway... but anyway.
She said to write it down
Wish I didn’t throw it away
I hate you, she said now anyway.
She said to write it down
And then to throw it away
I loved you, I used to anyway.
She said to write it down
And then to throw it away
I love you, I love you.
But anyway, anyway
The outside world.

It’s just another lesson learned
It’s just another bridge to burn
And here we go the pages turn
And here we go the pages burn
This could mean the world to me
But I was too blind to see
What’s another word for me
Paul you’re just a tragedy.

Cycle Has Charm
05:49
|
|||
|
And I watched your last breaths,
Can’t erase it from my mind.
Year started in a mess
While I pause and repine.
Your songs sound much sadder now
And I’m grounded for now
But this cycle has a charm
As I reached out my arm and placed it on your chest
And I dared you to say
I dared you to say something
and I dared you to say... something.
You never heard my songs
And you never hummed along
Disconnected at best
When everything went wrong
Your songs sound much sadder now
And I’m drowning for now
But this cycle has a charm
As I reached out my arm and placed it on your chest
And I dared you to say
I dared you to say something
and I dared you to say... something

Nothing’s safe
these days
Cause you don’t deserve
something as terrible as me.
And these idle hands... are broken.
So dismantle me
and lay me down to sleep.
Ordinary
And it’s working against me,
But I like it... but I like it.
And I’m so ugly
but I’m sure that you can see
that we’re
Ordinary
And it’s working against me,
But I like it... but I like it.
Ordinary
We’re so ordinary
Ordinary
And it’s working against me,
But I like it... but I like it.
What is wrong with everything

It seems so impossible
Saw your name in a book once
And I tore out that page
You’ve been in my thoughts now
For what seems like days
But maybe i’m too wide eyed
Will you suffer me?
Only you can bury me
How we hid beneath
A different sky each night
Will you suffer me
Falling apart and breaking
Must be more to me
Or maybe I’m too wide eyed
This is not an apology
It seems so impossible

I’ve been thinking
about my thinking
and getting lost in nothing.
I’m pretty sure
there’s a melody in your name
that I’ll never sing.
You used to sing me to sleep
But now we barely speak
You used to sing me to sleep
But now...
It’s the first day
of a new year
resolutions... are all here.
I’m pretty sure
there’s a melody in your name
that I’ll never sing.
Wake up
(you used to sing me to sleep)
come home
(but now)
I’m sorry
Resolutions are all here.

Tiled Floor Symmetry
03:23

And you walked away
Out of air
Where your head could lay
And have nightmares
Of you and me
This reality of you and me
Tiled floor symmetry
It guides the way
From you to me
Fluorescent bulbs light the way
To where your head will finally lay
And we all die alone
In houses we don’t own
I know that you’re alone
The white lines on the road
Will guide you home
A new year
Withdrawn flight
And I wasn’t there
Your last chance at such heights
Did you even care?
I wish I had waited up with you

So stay bright light and I’ll just turn away.
And I wrote down, a thousand things...I loved about you.
One for each day...and ten when your away.
So stay bright light and I’ll just turn away

What a waste
I’m amazed
at just how alike we are.
We’re trying
but we’re hopeless
we’re barley hanging on.
But we don’t care,
That they don’t care.
This life it’s a lullaby and we’ll keep playing
Never asking why.
But we don’t care,
That they don’t care.

Hurry up ‘cause I wanna leave
This could be the start and end of everything
So tell me what did you mean when you screamed nothing?
Remember when we used to sing of water on leaves?
That meant something
A dull spark
What use is a shadow in the dark?
This could mean everything
So hurry up, ‘cause I wanna leave
This could be the start and end of everything
Get me outta here
Slowly, but surely
It’s alright, I’m not sure of anything at all
We play hopeless
And oh my god
We’re good at it
We’re playing to a heartbeat
Sometimes not making a sound
Tears threatening to finally fall down
You carried a note for too long
The singer dies we all love their songs
I’m leaving tomorrow, but i’m staying today.

And I wrote your name...on a...paper airplane.
And I threw it away.
It’s not the same...as it...was yesterday...
So pick me up...and put me away...up on a shelf for another day.
