People (And The Things We Talk About) 03:57
lyrics

Down by the water There are voices screaming back these words "I don't know what to say anymore" And I scream "Have I tried hard enough to survive and to stay above the waves?" Put your kicks back on Sing a happy song It wont Take Away Your Pain And it seems like the reason I'm still here Is to keep writing songs for a new year But by the time we get there it's so clear Its so clear That I think it might be time to move on I don't know what to say anymore I don't know what to say anymore I'll repeat till I can't keep screaming In hopes that these words find some sort of meaning I Don't know what to say anymore I don't know what to say anymore The man who sang about time unspent I'd go back and find him if I only knew where he went If I go back to writing songs That are meant for sing-a-longs Would you sing them back to me If I go back to writing songs that are meant for sing-a-longs Would you sing them back to me Would you sing them back to me

Hello 02:53
lyrics

Hello What the hell are you doing here? I thought I told you to never come back Three songs Is that all you had for us? We thought you were better than that I know it seems like I've been lost For a while, I'm in denial too How do you get back to the old you? This never goes the way we planned If you wanted to pretend then just say you can Come back home before it's too late This is what you wanted wasn't it? A catchy song you can add to your playlist? Hello

I'm dreaming of the days When my throat hurts from playing shows And the people that I Love are Standing high above me And screaming from below Eventually you'll see Or have you already figured out The way my vision overrides my doubt And there's no way I'm stopping now I wish that I could find the time to speak all of the words I never said Gonna dye my hair a violent red Sleep all day, waste away 'Cause I can't pretend to be awake All my friends say it's a safe bet I'm gonna paint my nails 20 different shades of blue But not for any reason just going with the seasons What does it mean to you? Shut your eyes and float up past the trees Don't try to hold onto the leaves Let the wind whisk you away In the clouds is where they hold your dreams They lock you in and throw away the key Wake up kid and start your day I wish that I could find the time to speak all of the words I never said Yellow converse to match the red Sleep all day, if you want But I think I'll run around outside It feels much better not to be hiding

Thursday Night Streetlights 03:23
lyrics
buy track
I'm not singin bout summer anymore It's more like Thursday night streetlights shining in onto my bedroom floor So I'll spend my free time writing songs that aren't about love As we lean off bridges high above And if I ever find my way back home I think I'll throw away my phone Cause I'm so tired of These phantom vibrations they're making me lose my head Will I ever find my way back?

Untitled 01:23
lyrics

Save your breath I've been holding mine for days on end And watch your step Don't end up feeling dissonant And why'd you have to leave When there's so much left to see round here Then by the end of the summer It was clear that things had changed

Lifeboat 04:30

I used to be so smart Along with other things that we'll keep in the dark Just for now I'm surrounded by the people I love But the sound of my voice I fear will push them away Don't push me away These days I'm pretty dumb I've been searching for something to keep me afloat And today if I found a way to tell you I was sinking I'd probably just keep it to myself So let's talk it out You always seem so sad these days Do you need to be saved? Are you far from home? Are you thinking maybe this is my time to go? I lied, I tried to save you I tried but My hand slipped lost my grip now your eyes stay shut So let's talk it out You always seem so sad these days Do you need to be saved? Have no doubt They're gonna send rescue across the bay But it is heading your way?

Happy Song 04:00
lyrics

Find calm in the in-betweens Take the stress off your broken knees They can't kick quite like they used to Fallen down, knuckles pounding in the dirt Hit the ground put some color in that white t-shirt Underdressed but the rest only makes it worse Here to help but you gotta pick yourself up first When you close your eyes Is there something that you see? In your disguise Is there someone you wanna be? Hold onto me No horoscopes no astrology Smile wide and make me believe Just take a rest Put your head on my shoulder I'll be here till it's over (Here till it's over) When the day after day gets long Just put on a happy song I'll be here till it's over (Here till it's over) Don't worry be happy Just take a rest Put your head on my shoulder I'll be here till it's over Just take a rest Put your head on my shoulder I'll be here till it's over (Here till it's over) When the day after day gets long Just put on a happy song I'll be here till it's over Here till it's over Here till it's over

Mermaid Kisses and Starfish Wishes 03:10
lyrics

I've been taking Tylenol To try to clear out all this fog It's been blocking that green light It shines but it starts to fade away I've been catching up on sleep And by catching up I mean running low Think I better find a new way home before it comes my time to go I used to be so helpless Couldn't be myself till seventeen And if I could go back there I wouldn't want anything to change Have you ever felt so tired That you feel the need to scream just to stay awake Maybe if you feel inspired Baby take a dive you're a mermaid I used to be so helpless Couldn't be myself till seventeen And if I could go back there You know I wouldn't change anything

That Would Help 03:36
lyrics
buy track
Pacing back and forth across Notebook pages that hold my thoughts Similes and metaphors set the tone Dreams that I can't afford where I call my home The piano tells me things I did not know It's so melancholy in the early morning glow I used to try to pass the time But now something's changed And I wanna hold tight To every second that I spend Not by myself Because my head hangs low when it's time to go and that's not how it always felt Don't go, stay with me Think it's finally time that you open your eyes And you see what you need to see Simple things don't taste the same Every time that record plays Don't go, stay with me Your smallest finger wraps around my own and that's all that I need to see Every second that I spend by myself Is another second wasted And that's the way it's always felt Can you hear me? Am I screaming loud enough? Can you scream this back to me? Cause I think that would help I think that would help I think that would help I think that would help I think that would help

Focus on the ground beneath your feet Shut your eyes let it pull you underneath It's simple really Just change your shade for passing days Meet me at the end of this dead end street Somewhere to go if you know what lays beneath It's not that easy Don't pull away Don't pull away The leaves on the ground outside The wind blows around and reminds That this winter won't be too kind You should really take a walk outside Breathe in that cold air to find That you've been wasting all your time Focus on the ground beneath your feet Shut your eyes let it pull you underneath It's simple really Just change your shade for passing days Meet me at the end of this dead end street Somewhere to go if you know what lays beneath It's not that easy Don't pull away Don't pull away It's been way too long since I've gone down to the water's edge The sand is cold and wet So I put Both my feet where the sand meets the sea and the beach swallows me whole As I drift from the bay I don't know what to say But I think I've found my home And I don't think it's time to move on Sing it back Sing it back just for me Sing it back Sing it back just for me Sing it back Sing it back just for me I don't know what to say anymore My old words aren't the same anymore Try to break away from your demons Think hard but I can't find the reason why Dwell on the past when you can't anymore Switch it up won't get stuck anymore I don't want you to pull away Have I said what I need to say?
