By My Side

I found some change
The other day
In my pocket.
I found some words
To make it right
But no matter what I do, I can't help stop it
I never had the words
I never had enough time
I never took the chance
But you're still here on my mind
I don't know
Where we will go
But I want you
By my side
Today I found out
I'm no longer in doubt
Of how much I want you
With me
As our paths diverge
And we say meaningless words
"I'll talk to you
Every day"
I try not to cry
We say our final goodbye's
For the fourth time
Today
I never had the words
I never had enough time
I never took the chance
But you're still here on my mind
I'll do my best to
Not forget you
The moment that I am
Gone
And that's why we said
That we'd never let
Our feelings get too
Entrenched in our hearts
It's way too late
And too early
To change what we
Wanted to be
It's way too late
And too damn early
To change what we
Wanted to be
I never had the words
I never had enough time
I never took the chance
But you're still here on my mind
It's way too late to change (I found some change in my pocket)
It's way too late to change me (But no matter what I did, I could never stop it)
It's way too late to change anything you see

Certain

That's another melancholy end
To another dearest friend
And I'm going to run and hide
Until my feelings will subside
I'm running out
I'm nowhere now
I'm crying through the curtains
I'll never be certain
That's another friendship past
Why'd we pretend that it would last?
I'd never wanted you at all
But when you've left I will fall
I'm running out
I'm nowhere now
I'm crying through the curtains
I'll never be certain
That's another chance gone by
Perhaps I'll never learn to try
And I'm slipping I fall so hard
But at the bottom I feel my heart
I'm running out
I'm nowhere now
I'm crying through the curtains
I'll never be certain
That's another lonely road
My shadow follows but where to go?
When I'm alone in my mind
That's the time I can cry inside
I'm running out
I'm nowhere now
I'm crying through the curtains
I'll never be certain

Hit Me Up
02:41
|
|

Hit me up
I need some love
Hit me up
I need some love
The lazy summer dreams that I have had
They just float on by
The lazy days when I never leave
Am I still alive?
The hasty hours spinning in the dark
My plea for sleep is denied
The hasty moments sitting next to her
I make the move or so I try
Hit me up
I need some love
Hit me up
I need some love
The lonely blankets smothering my feet
Heartbreak will not yield
The lonely roads on which I shall not roam
Closed off so I can heal
The tiring walls painted off-white red
All alone inside this crowd
The tiring lightbulbs burning in my brain
I finally let myself be found
Hit me up
I need some love
Hit me up
I need some love
Hit me up
I need some love
Hit me up
I need some love

Worth

Left alone and I don't know
Where you would go, I stayed at home
You'll text your ex to give you sex
And when you left me I just wept
Bent again by my best friend
You'll never mend just what you rend
You'll sit so close but never talk
Turn to your phone, please make it stop
What the hell is it worth?
Me in your arms
What the hell is it worth?
Me torn apart
What the hell can you do
If you don't care?
What the hell can I do
When you're not here?
Left alive I see you thrive
Hidden high, I need some time
I watched the clock tick back and rock
Sing songs to stop the green-blue swap
Heart on my sleeve and in my jeans
I'll sleep to clean my hollow dreams
Try a metronomic enterprise
I guess I'll write and bleed my life
What the hell is it worth?
Me in your arms
What the hell is it worth?
Me torn apart
What the hell can you do
If you don't care?
What the hell can I do
When you're not here?
Left alone and I don't know
Where you would go, I stayed at home
You'll text your ex to give you sex
And when you left me I just wept
Bent again by my best friend
You'll never mend just what you rend
You'll sit so close but never talk
Turn to your phone, please make it stop
What the hell is it worth?
Me in your arms
What the hell is it worth?
Me torn apart
What the hell can you do
If you don't care?
What the hell can I do
When you're not here?
What the hell is it worth?
Pretending that
What the hell is it worth?
That I'm not in need
That I'm not in need

Roundabout
02:41

Time flies
But we ain't got none
Here in the pig sty
This will be sure fun
Working so hard
We fight against the grain
As we fall ill
Health fails under the strain
Here it goes
Who do I really know?
Roundabout
I'm left without
You never reply
What do you think of me?
I just need to know
What we're trying to be
And now I'm melting
My flowers into ash
With so much invested
I've acted way too rash
Here it goes
Who do I really know?
Roundabout
I'm left without
At least I'm not the
Only one who's here alone
You are here with me
Together on our own
No matter how much
Times I've tried to say
I want to love someone
Will I ever seize the day?
No, no, no, no, no

Unwind

Everyone I know wants to fucking die
Please help me make it alright
Don't, don't, don't, please don't kill
Help is coming, I swear I will
What does is say when we all wish for death?
That we hope for each word to be our last breath?
Please, please don't please your mind.
Your health is frayed, please come unwind.
I don't want to die anymore
I have someone for which to live for
She'll help to remember that I am okay
He'll raise me up as I stand for each day
What does is say when we all wish for death?
That we hope for each word to be our last breath?
Please, please don't please your mind.
Your health is frayed, please come unwind.
Sometimes I want to stay inside
And never let the lies inside
But if I want to go ouside
The sun will help me see
What does is say when we all wish for death?
That we hope for each word to be our last breath?
Please, please don't please your mind.
Your health is frayed, please come unwind.
Ruby Rose please live again
I need you more than just a friend
Selfish me, I ask for mine
I want you to become alright
What does is say when we all wish for death?
That we hope for each word to be our last breath?
Please, please don't please your mind.
Your health is frayed, please come unwind.
With me tonight
You'll see me in the stars
The moon in the lake
Me here in your arms

Gimme Something
03:05
|
|

I never loved you like my heart said
I just wish I knew in that moment
When I threw it all away
That day, I left to find a better place
I'm walking
And I'll never hear your voice
You'll never hurt me now
Gimme something
Gimme someone to love
Gimme something to believe in
I wish I could reach back in time
To find myself walking right beside you
And I'd say "I do not like you, not one bit"
Why'd I never stop to think
I'm walking
And I'll never hear your voice
You'll never hurt me now
Gimme something
Gimme someone to love
Gimme something to believe in
I'm bawling, balderdash
You're wishing that you could weep
But sand runs from your cheeks
Tears tired in your eyes
Weeping through the skies
Thunder in your mind
And left alone, I'll leave you
Crying in your bed
Maybe you'll feel what you said
To me, hear me
I can't make it any clearer
Clearly I can live
To hear it and I'll give
Anything to get away from you
Gimme something
Gimme someone to love
Gimme something to believe in
Gimme something to believe

Please
03:50

|

Please don't die before you fall
I just want you to know
That I have been here this whole time
And I don't want you to go
Please call me back on the phone
Let me know that you're alright
That you will keep walking
You will hold onto the fight
And as winter comes
Please stay bundled warm
And when you feel alone
Please ring me on the phone
I promise to answer
I'll make sure you are heard
I promise to reply
Together, learn to fly
Please pick up on the first ring
As I hold it like a stone
You cannot hear that it's me
Somebody you used to know
Please let me crawl through the cord
As you listen to the air
Let me talk you down from silence
Let me know that you are here
And as winter comes
Please stay bundled warm
And when you feel alone
Please ring me on the phone
I promise to answer
I'll make sure you are heard
I promise to reply
Together, learn to fly
Please pick up your broken heart
And put on your shattered coat
Maybe someday you'll find her
And maybe someday you won't
Please stop driving far away
You know it will never work
You've got to stand right up
And accept how much you hurt
And as winter comes
Please stay bundled warm
And when you feel alone
Please ring me on the phone
I promise to answer
I'll make sure you are heard
I promise to reply
Together, learn to fly
Together we can cry
Together, none shall die

The Walls
04:10

|

Mr Peña played the saxophone
He was my teacher, the best I've ever known
When he came home he walked through the walls
But there was no one left for him at all
The walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
What I want to
Ms Deshetler, she had cancer in her chest
She had taught me how to behave the very best
And when she got back she walked between the walls
Everyone was there but they could not hear her call
The walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
What I want to
Robert Gorman, he was a civil engineer
He's my grandfather and he taught me to love, not fear
Right now he's building up his walls
I need him to stop climbing before he falls
The walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
What I want to be
I'm working to get ahead
And I'll struggle until the day I'm dead
Everyone still scratches at the walls
Even though all they wanted is lost
The walls lock me away
No time is left for me to say
What I want to be
These walls lock me away

Let's Take It Slow
03:46

Let's take it slow I guess
I'm trying to not scare you away
From my intense desire
For someone to hold me tighter
Who are you? Who do I want?
I can't tell who will be left
When I am gone away
Please be the one to stay with me, with me, with me baby
Let's take it quick, let's go, go, go
We don't have time to chill about
Only a few more months to
Hit a home run with you
Who are you? Who do I want?
I can't tell who will be left
When I am gone away
Please be the one to stay with me, with me, with me baby
Let's take it slow, I get it now
I used to be now where you are
I let my skin get scraped by thorns
Please don't let me ignore you, you, you, you
Who are you? Who do I want?
When I am gone away
Please be the one to stay
With me baby

Every Second
03:21

Every day feels like an hour when I'm with you
When I wake it's still yesterday I'm never blue
It's sorta hazy in this sunlight stratus clouds shaped like you
If it rains I won't avoid it you'll help me make it through
Your breath smells like yesteryear
Every second I am ready for
Tomorrow's sunrise with you
I'll fall asleep in your bed tonight
Twelve hours pass but I'm still here just a few minutes gone
Jump to sleep and fall awake artificial lights stay on
Cuddled so tight, tight, tightly with you all my cares are gone
And the angel whispers my name, "Let's be here for every dawn"
Your breath smells like yesteryear
Every second I am ready for
Tomorrow's sunrise with you
I'll fall asleep in your bed tonight
Every day and every night / are but seconds inside your eyes
Fast asleep I'll never fall / now that I am so alive
Will you ever love me? / That's what I gotta know
I'm not quite so sure / I gotta let our love grow
Your breath smells like yesteryear
Every second I am ready for
Tomorrow's sunrise with you
I'll fall asleep in your bed tonight

As Long As I Can
06:05
|
|

When I'm lying wide awake
When I've got nothing left to say
When I'll never be alone
As long as I can condone
When I'm waiting for the day
This is when I can't delay
When I will not compromise
This is when I show my pride
How many times can I show how much I care?
How long will you let me comb back your sweet hair?
How many days until I can be done with
Being alone? Can we become one?
Please hurry now, now don't delay
I gotta get to her today
I've got her written in my heart
With her I can't be torn apart
I love her hair, I love her smile
I love it when we get too wild
I love it when she holds my hand
I love her for as long as I can, for as long as I can
When I'm lying wide awake
When I've got nothing left to say
When I'll never be alone
As long as I can condone
When I'm waiting for the day
This is when I can't delay
When I will not compromise
This is when I show my pride
How gently you sigh when I cradle your face
And how I cried when we made it through that place
Here in your bedroom I've got nothing left to do
Just hold me tighter so I can remember you
Please hurry now, now don't delay
I gotta get to her today
I've got her written in my heart
With her I can't be torn apart
I love her hair, I love her smile
I love it when we get too wild
I love it when she holds my hand
I love her for as long as I can, for as long as I can
When I'm lying wide awake
When I've got nothing left to say
When I'll never be alone
As long as I can condone
When I'm waiting for the day
This is when I can't delay
When I will not compromise
This is when I show my pride
Please hurry now, now don't delay
I gotta get to her today
I've got her written in my heart
With her I can't be torn apart
I love her hair, I love her smile
I love it when we get too wild
I love it when she holds my hand
I love her for as long as I can
Please hurry now, now don't delay
I gotta get to her today
I've got her written in my heart
With her I can't be torn apart
I love her hair, I love her smile
I love it when we get too wild
I love it when she holds my hand
I love her for as long as I can
Please hurry now, now don't delay
I gotta get to her today
I've got her written in my heart
With her I can't be torn apart
I love her hair, I love her smile
I love it when we get too wild
I love it when she holds my hand
I love her for as long as I can
Please hurry now, now don't delay
I love her for as long as I can
