I'll wait
For you to come downstairs
In the dress I like
How I'd love to find myself
Awake
In my room again
You're my only friend
How I'd love to see you
Again
In your father's house
With the old bloodhound
Listen how she howls for you

Getaway

I think I need a little space
To get away, a getaway
Just a little time in a different place
To clear my brain, clear my brain
There used to be so many things
That I knew for sure, I knew for sure
But I don't believe in most of them
Anymore
So I'm changing up my mind again
And losing faith I never had
And it all just makes me really sad
I'm living with my folks again
In the backseat, like a taxi
Waiting for my second wind
To resurrect me, and redirect me
Thinking of my oldest friends
In other cities, I miss them dearly
Sometimes it's hard to get ahead
When you can't see the end
And you're sleeping in your childhood bed
And you run into your high school friends
And it's almost like you never left

Gemini

We were outside of town
When your dad's truck broke down
On the interstate
We laid down in the bed
And watched the clouds overhead
Slowly drift away
While we waited for a lift
And you said that you wish
You could do the same
We went out for a smoke
And your lighter was broke
So you borrowed mine
Under porch light you spoke
About what you miss most
From being a child
Family trips to the coast
And your dad's summer home
In the countryside
You said "When I was seventeen
I thought I had it sorted out
And now I'm scared of what younger me
Would think if he saw me now
Would he be let down?"
We were out on your lawn
When your parents were gone
In the summertime
You said "You're out of control
Baby that's how I know
You're a Gemini"
I don't buy all that shit
But I could tell that you did
So I let it slide
Then I had a dream we were in your car
And we were headed towards the edge
And in my very final moment
You turned to me and said
"I'm coming for ya
I'm coming for ya, kid"
Say you'll stay
We're all afraid
Say you'll stay
We're all the same

Whistle
05:15
|

|
I drove to my childhood house
To find it had been torn down
So I got out and walked around
A fifteen foot evergreen
Stood where my room used to be
That tree is younger than me
A hill overlooks the lake
Where my friend and I used to play
Until his family moved away
And I wonder where he is now
I heard that he went to jail
Hope he got his shit sorted out
I sat on the grassy hill
Watching the sailboats sail
As the night train began to wail
And the way that the whistle sounds
Reminds me of my old bloodhound
I miss how she used to howl
Something
Makes me feel so much and yet
An overwhelming nothing
I reach out to touch it
But I'm moving in slow motion
Through an endless ocean
A deep well of emotion
I feel like I'm floating
Through a sea of something
That makes me feel so much and yet
An overwhelming nothing
I reach out to touch it
But I'm moving in slow motion
Through an endless ocean
A deep well of emotion
I feel like I'm floating

I saw you with Jane
At the park yesterday
And it looked like she'd said something funny
I wanted to stay
But couldn't think of what to say
So decided instead to keep running
Maybe next time I see you I'll say something
And I was doing ok
But then it ruined my whole day
When the guy at the bar called me buddy
And my friend never came
So I finished my drink
Pretending to wait for somebody
Just mad that I wasted the money
There's that smell again
Brings me back to Harrison
With you sat by the lake looking sunny
And when you go for a swim
Does it make you reminisce?
Does the feel of it make you think of me?
Probably not when you're so far above me
Always knew that one day you'd outrun me
I'm still waiting for my atta boy
Give em hell
Go get em tiger
Go for gold
We'll see you down at the finish line
And I will cheer you on
If you cheer me on
And we can work together
Call a draw
We'll end it all in a perfect tie
Cause baby I just want
To be on your team tonight
But you're the champ, I'm the title fight
Lay me out on the canvas tonight
And they'll chant "You're the best alive"
I'll watch with bloody black eyes
So it's a dash to the finish line
Buckle down and leave them behind
Please your mom, fill your dad with pride
Celebrate with bouquets and wine
Sonny, tonight is gonna be your night
I'm your fan, baby, are you mine?
Love to see you finding your shine
Missed my chance maybe but I don't mind
I'll make it back in no time
You know, these things they turn on a dime
And it's best to take them in stride

Coffee
04:24
|

|
Sunlight creeps in through the shutters
Streaming through the evergreens
Painting stripes across the covers
The golden glow kissing your cheek
I watch your eyelids flutter
You are lost inside a dream
And I wonder what your dream is
Cause mine's right in front of me
And oh, I thank God for all he's given me
You know, I still wouldn't change a thing
You're my coffee in the morning
I don't need no caffeine
When your brown eyes start to open
And you smile at me
I love the way your face curves
Into the dimples in your cheeks
And I know you hate that your teeth are crooked
But they look perfect to me
We spend the morning lying in bed
Bodies wrapped inside the sheets
And you lay your head on my chest
And you say to me
"This was worth all the heartbreak
All the failure and the tears
All the pain and all the mistakes
Somehow they all led us here"
And oh, I thank God for everywhere I've been
You know, I would go through it all again
Just to wake up next to you
Just to wake up next to you

Don't wake me up in the morning
It's my weekend and I want to sleep in
There's no need to be worried
It's temporary, this state that I am in
By the evening I will be myself again
I ignore my aunt when she calls
Because she sends me all that religious shit online
Maybe I should pick up the phone
And talk to her from time to time
Maybe one day I will wish that I had tried
I'm gonna make myself cry
Cause now I'm thinking about when my parents die
But I won't have to deal with that for a while
I found a picture in my car
And it reminded me of a girl I used to love
I don't think about her anymore
But for a second I felt a sadness in my soul
I can't explain the things I can't control
I find myself afraid of getting old
Much more than fear of death or being alone
But I'm scared of both those other things also

Bye Bye

I miss all my friends
I get sad when I think about them
I know we're not where we used to be
But I love them all, wherever they are
And I hope they're happy
I get scared sometimes
That all my years of youth are over
But I'll loosen up if you tell me to
I know I'm young, and I'm in no rush
To be where I want to
Bye bye
I know it's hard to let these things go
But someday we'll all look back and
We'll cry, boo hoo
And they'll always be good memories
That we can keep forever
[Christian]
She's gonna break my heart in a month
[Joy]
I'm not gonna break your heart intentionally
[Hudson]
It's on camera, we'll remember that
[Christian]
And then in a month's time she's gonna text me and say it's over
