just can't stop thinking about you
keeps me up late at night with
stomach butterflies swirling around
love that i've got you in my life
you are the one, at least i think you're the, think you're the one
just can't stop thinking about you
words, they can't express
the way that i am now, since you've been around
love, i've got you in my arms
you are the one, at least i think you're the, think you're the one
baby, it's been some years
some times were good, some not so much
never would i trade you for another girl
you are the, you are the, you are the one
just can't stop thinking about you

how sad

i can't believe it's tomorrow
yesterday was a tough one to follow
day before that one was a drag
don't turn to look to a brother
cuz we don't share the same mother
i feel none of that shit's real
we can all get by
actually it's like trying win a bare knuckle fight with a wall
actually it's like trying to start a riot with no one behind you at all
actually it's just trying to make time at the end of the world
actually it's just trying to survive as a regular person these days
how sad
how sad you gotta be to be seen?

not now

it don't matter if he likes it the way it is
always falls upon the shoulders he calls his
spread too thin, holding his whole world up
heart tells head, but the man don't listen none
damn, sit down son
go and put your feet up now
have a drink,
and forget about what makes you feel old
every day's just a setting sun
with doors closing in your face
while another one is opening
there is no place
no time like now
i've lost my taste
i can't describe
flavor is gone
chewing gum i find stuck to my boot..
it's like inside my head
my space-
the cloudiest days
couldn't quite make a little dent, but looks a wreck
big dreams of having wings but dreads leaving the nest
scared to jump, cuz nothing's there to break the fall
but he's gotta make his move cuz his tree's fucked. roots and all
it would seem like he can call all his own shots
but he always struggles to carve himself a spot
laid every brick, but the tower's tumbling down
heart told the head, but the man's deaf to its sound
not now

old love
03:24

Lately i've been finding it hard to calm down
need a breath - these damn lungs of mine- won't expand - if you're not around
and so far, i'm so bummed out
and so far, it's so far out
the feeling when you left, also left a hole in my heart
it won't slow down, but feels like it's stopped since you've been gone
it feels like, it's been ripped out
it's so far, it's so far out
you never really realize it until it's gone
has so many faces it wears when it's leading you on
such a shame to think that some of us won't know
joy of losing sadness and the pain of letting go
old love
but it's all love.
try to keep the good things about what it was in my mind
tried to envision it different so, so many times
came so far, and now i doubt
and so far, you're so far out
no way to take it gracefully
it's news the best of us couldn't begin to see
how come when it rains it also pours?
i know that in the long run i was never gonna be yours
old love
but it's all love

standing on the ground

i don't care if i never make another friend
people these days only care about their dividends
makes me sound old, but there's just no more togetherness
perhaps i am that? old enough to have witnessed it
maybe i'm not the only one looking for an answer
looking for an answer
but i don't see anyone out there
and i don't see anyone in here
are we truly alone?
i feel truly at home
when i'm making it
is the purpose for us tears?
why the message so unclear?
do we just make mistakes?
do we just call it the breaks?
is there a lesson near?
it looks a goddamn mess in here.
hard to see the floor now
maybe we should all just slow down
and take a look from
where we're standing on the ground
lying awake when i need to close my eyes and rest
wondering which choices you will now come to respect
would the things that i say - be better off if they were unsaid?
i feel it's right
to speak your mind more openly
might make - things hard
course less traveled ain't a kind one
not always a kind one
does it matter if we fight?
the words exchanged, they never change your mind
you should know, you crawl before you walk
always will keep on trying to talk
talking, fuck it.

what a time to be alive
02:48

make my waves in the chatter every day
i'm taking some off 'cause minutes find me anyway
'cause i can't see myself being frail
saw my day become night and i felt so failed
and i give, and i give all my time away
i cared until i didn't care to say
dangerous ways are becoming what i am
lame and down, though i'm still so young
but i can't know myself so sick and tired
a little break is what is required
but i work, and i work all my feels away
i cared until i didn't care to say
what a time to be alive

i dove facefirst into glass for you yesterday
i'd crawl on bloody stumps to you just to say
you are more precious than jewels, but anyway
you're better than everyone else...
do i offer something in return you can't resist?
then why at times does this dreadful feeling persist?
i know you know me like i know all off your favorite things
but do you hear me when i try to explain what i see?
thoughts so loud- don't hear myself sometimes, like what the hell
the voice is mine, but it don't sound like me, as if a dream
loving language, is not foreign to me - all because
you're better than everyone else...
i'll make an effort if you do, babe
i won't believe it until
you prove that i'm the only one
when i can't believe in myself
won't you try?
i'd make time to spend it all with you, before it's gone
i'd try anything to make you smile, and that's for real
love is rare, in this jaded world, and for what?
you're better than everyone else...
do i offer something in return you can't resist?
then why at times does this dreadful feeling persist?
i know you know me like i know all off your favorite things
but do you hear me when i try to explain what i see?

i must look uncomfortable
did i make that face again?
still i must hold my tongue
wondering if i can wait
to fix the part in which i forgive you
wait
when you chose that you forgot who i was, babe
think you've got me pegged when too much shit's on my plate
and i don't much care for that
stuck in this place
and i wanna leave now
when every thought is
wanting to be somewhere - else
whatever that means
whatever the case
i'm dead tired
and my share is just the scraps
same dream every night
and you're always with him
i'll give it one more try
don't wanna do the same shit
and i just want to sleep
but i'm scared of what i will see when i try to close my eyes
but i can't seem to hold up these lids
days fly
and weeks expire
and the months go by
yet i'm
stuck in this place
and i wanna leave now
when every thought is
wanting to be somewhere - else
whatever that means
whatever the case
i'm dead tired
my share is just the scraps
