Long Time Coming
03:51
|
|||
|
six days in a kia soul
four dudes and a lot of road
where does this journey end
not here, not yet.
take in the lights of the city
wish I could take them with me
i’d hang them on my wall as a reminder
of all the places i’ve yet to go
I’ve never left
the midwest
I think it’s time
to do something about that
It’s been a long time coming
missed my chance to hit the ground running
just hope that I’m not too late
to live the life that was meant for me
so many years lost to false desires
almost lost all that I aspired to be
barely held on to me
do you know what it’s like
to lose yourself in the noises
all these directions and constant voices
in a world of infinite choices
it’s kind of hard to know what yours should be
they would have you believe they know everything
they would have you believe that they know
we’ll here’s a secret, they don’t
watch the clock as the time flies by
often thought I was living my
dreams only to find out that they weren’t mine
it’s time to move on with my life
how many signs and red flags do I need
before I figure out that this is not for me
take two let’s try it again
a few years late but not to late to begin
It’s been a long time coming
missed my chance to hit the ground running
just hope that I’m not too late
to live the life that was meant for me
so many years lost to false desires
almost lost all that I aspired to be
barely held on to me
sorry mom and dad, that I had to go
don’t mean to make you sad but I think time will show
that this was a good idea
gotta get the heck out of here
Every time I go home I hear the echoes
memories that just won't let go
saw a ghost out of the corner of my eye
looking over my back for the rest of my life
and I Don’t wanna live that way
didn’t wanna go but you know I can’t stay
leaving is inevitable but know wherever I go
I’ll remember this place as my home

Another Fall
03:21
|

|
Another fall, another everything gone wrong
Another chance that someone I care about will discover all my flaws
If I could simply shut my lids and sleep throughout the worst of it, I would
But it wouldn’t do me any good
Neither does thinking about
All the things that didn’t work out
I’m trying as hard as I can to convince myself
That this year and these relationships are not a hollow shell
Of what they’re supposed to be, of what they could be
am I supposed to see, where this is going? Cause I don’t.
It may sound odd to hide from a season
But I can assure you, I’ve got a good reason
Fall is out to get me once again.
Summer is acting predictably
Once again he’s abandoned me
Packed his bag and took the heat
Fall is when all the money dries up
And my car breaks down and I run out of luck
But this time I refuse to get stuck
This time i refuse to get stuck

Take My Hand
04:04
|

|
I tattooed every word that you said
On the inside of my eyelids
So when i sleep at night
I only dream of better times
I’ll awake in the morning don’t you worry
But alarms were made for people in a hurry
I’ve got time
I’ve got time
Take my hand and I’ll show you
Just how easy it is to trick you into holding my hand
There’s only one way out
And I can’t find it now
But I hoped you’d tell me what it’s like
to have the world at your command
And maybe share some of your confidence
You know I could use some
Lets go back to the beginning
On second thought lets not,
It’s a trainwereck to look at
And I’d rather I forgot.
I’ve done a lot of growing
But not nearly enough
I’m almost guaranteed
To screw this up
I guess I’ll try
Til I get it right
Take my hand and I’ll show you
Just how easy it is to trick you into holding my hand
There’s only one way out
And I can’t find it now
But I hoped you’d tell me what it’s like
to have the world at your command
And maybe share some of your confidence
You know I could use some
Could you stay a little longer
Do you have to go?
Stay and tell me all the things about you I don’t know
You could stay a little longer
And avoid the snow
Stay and tell me all the things about you I don’t know
(I’m no good yet, I’m still learning
Your eyes stop the world from turning)
Take my hand and I’ll show you
Just how easy it is to trick you into holding my hand
There’s only one way out
And I can’t find it now
But I hoped you’d tell me what it’s like
to have the world at your command
And maybe share some of your confidence
You know I could use some

Good To Be Home
03:56
|

I lost count of the couches I spent all this summer surfing on
Scoot from friend to friend til all my gas is gone
Hope you don’t mind if I stay for a few days
I’m straight out of luck until I get paid.
It’s comforting to know that I can make it on my own
But I prefer my friends with me
It’s good to be home.
How long have I been asleep
The clock says not long enough
But if I got back to sleep
I’m don’t know if I’ll wake up
This neighborhood brings so much back
Not much has changed in a decade passed
Coming here is what I wanted
But staying is the opposite of progress
It’s comforting to know that I can make it on my own
But I prefer my friends with me
It’s good to be home.
There’s still a lot in my head if I'm being honest
Is it better to be needed or wanted?
I know you all want a change. how long have I thought the same?
There’s a lot to remember, I forgot some
Is this year over yet, there’s not a lot of it left
But maybe I can make something of the next one
There’s still a lot in my head if I'm being honest
Is it better to be needed or wanted?

Don't Say Anything
03:23
|
|||
|
I guess that I misjudged the situation
there’s not much more to say
I shouldn’t be surprised
but that’s not stopping me
always hiding how you felt
nothing ever comes before yourself
your words don’t mean anything to anybody now
No one’s gonna believe anything that comes out of your mouth
Don’t say anything to anybody now
No one’s gonna believe anything that comes out of your mouth
Especially if it’s the date you leave for seattle
now you can let somebody else down
run away and hide
they’ll come looking for an answer
and find another lie until
there are no lies left to tell
nothing ever comes before yourself
your words don’t mean anything to anybody now
No one’s gonna believe anything that comes out of your mouth
Don’t say anything to anybody now
No one’s gonna believe anything that comes out of your mouth
Especially if it’s that you finally broke up with your girlfriend
if you can’t trust us with the truth
then we can’t trust you
I let go of the thought
that you might be there when I need
someone to pull through
if you don’t know at all
it doesn’t make much difference
It just means there’s not even one
who understands why you did this
your words don’t mean anything to anybody now
No one’s gonna believe anything that comes out of your mouth
Don’t say anything to anybody now
No one’s gonna believe anything that comes out of your mouth
Like when you say you will have this van paid off in six months.

The Story That Wasn't
04:21
|

and I know that this could never ever happen
so I’ll keep you in the dark
and I’ll hide my reaction
when you walk
into the room
just like something from my wildest dreams come true
yeah, I’ll be losing you, soon
and I’m just dying to say what’s on my mind
but it wouldn’t make one ounce of difference
so I’ll keep it inside
where it will hopefully grow distant
in the back of my mind
I’d take back all the time that I spent thinking about you
I’d rewind this whole day
and I’m not gonna say all those things I was about to
Hello September,
all my hopes and dreams dismembered once again
I just need to remember
that she only needs a friend
a battle I lost long ago
soulmates with another soul
just need to get it through my head
think about something else instead
You don’t know how bad I want to feel indifferent
but it’s the only thing I’m not
and I’m so glad no one can listen
to the thoughts
inside my head
running round in circles waiting to be said
but I’d sooner throw them out instead
there are some things just better left alone
say’s the part of me wise enough to know
or you could take what you have earned
says the selfish boy, where did he get the nerve?
to think up such a thought
looks like someone forgot
his place within the story
now shut up, go to bed
push those thoughts from your head
you’ll feel better in the morning
Hello September,
all my hopes and dreams dismembered once again
I just need to remember
that she only needs a friend
a battle I lost long ago
soulmates with another soul
just need to get it through my head
think about something else instead
Nobody in the world ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful
Nobody in the world ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful

That glint in your eye
That smile on your face
I wonder if I’ll find it
With all the rest that I’ve misplaced
Four walls a ceiling and a floor
Computer window and a door
Don’t know what those last two are for
‘Cause I don’t use them
Indiana what’cha done to me?
can’t think can’t breath, like I’m undersea
so many people that I wanna see
and the promises made here just let me down
Minnesota, won’t you come to me?
put the pedal to the floor and let the engine breathe
I can’t believe it’s finallyha ppening
and the memories made here can’t stop me now
Any little piece of love or affection
I’ll take any place any time I can get it
I’m scared of being alone with you
‘cause I don’t know what I’ll say
this is just my luck
wrong time wrong place
please don’t look at me that way
I’m scared of being alone with you
‘cause I don’t know what I’ll say
That glint in your eye
That smile on your face
I wonder if I’ll find it
With all the rest that I’ve misplaced
Four walls a ceiling and a floor
Computer window and a door
Don’t know what those last two are for
‘Cause I don’t use them
Any little piece of love or affection
I’ll take any place any time I can get it
I’m scared of being alone with you
‘cause I don’t know what I’ll say
this is just my luck
wrong time wrong place
please don’t look at me that way
I’m scared of being alone with you
‘cause I don’t know what I’ll say
Indiana what’cha done to me?
can’t think can’t breath, like I’m undersea
so many people that I wanna see
and the promises made here just let me down
Minnesota, won’t you come to me?
put the pedal to the floor and let the engine breathe
I can’t believe it’s finally happening
and the memories made here can’t stop me now

Somebody told me not to wait too long
Better get what you can before it’s gone
But as usual I’m trying hard as I can
Not to look too interested
As if it would kill me to show some emotion
But this part of my head seems broken
Doomed to silence again and again
Unless I can shake this
If you pay attention you’ll find that it’s all in your mind
Everything's gonna work out fine this time
What’s the worst that could happen?
What are you scared of
In a few years you’ll probably be laughing
If the fear of regret makes you timid
Remember most people regret what they didn’t do
Well thanks for the pep talk
I think home is the next stop
It’s late and I should be going to bed
Maybe I’ll feel more courageous in the morning
Kill the lights, I lay down, close my eyes, and see clouds
Made up of all these thoughts of what is, and is not
If you pay attention you’ll find that it’s all in your mind
Everything's gonna work out fine this time
What’s the worst that could happen?
What are you scared of
In a few years you’ll probably be laughing
If the fear of regret makes you timid
Remember most people regret what they didn’t do
