I have my problems
I’m set in my ways
Like unnecessary, impatient displays
And it took you hours and hours to say
What should have been spoken in one single phrase
Here I am
I was just waiting for this thing to end
Here I am
I was just waiting for this thing to end
Won’t you say what you need to say
Won’t you say what you wanted me to say
We were hugging the coast, when we were close
Now we’re getting by on our own
I have trouble making new friends
I would never put you through this
It’s nothing new so retract and rejoice
The past don’t matter, it’s all over
I’m only happy when I’m sober
It’s nothing new so retract and rejoice
What can I do, but think of you?
What can I say?
We’ll be OK
Wondering why we went this way
Thinking every single day
Wondering why we went this way
Thinking every single day

Hello, October

I wish my mother and my father would get along
Travel up the coast like a vagabond
Need my lover right beside me cuz she’s the one
And we’re so young
Does my mother have the strength to carry on
Is my father going to see that he did it wrong
And my lover is the person I’m dreaming of when I come home
In the name of my daughter
In the name of my blood
Father I’m the only man who always tried to understand you
Maybe I should look at myself too
Crazy but not unrequited
Cover up the scars we’re hiding
Playing fools is a game for two
But if this pain had brought us closer
I would feel it over and over
I would always come right back for more
Go to sleep in so much pain
Waking up to feel the same
Dreaming is the perfect time to change
If he can’t give you what you want
When you love him from afar
Memories they come right back to me
If there’s any healing powers
Taken in a bed of flowers
I will always come right back for more
Is there some sort of other poison
In the words the words we haven’t spoken
Flowing through my body every pore
But the light always comes

If God created love
He's a liar like you
Putting star-crossed lips
Onto sinking ships
He knew
Marks and burns ‘cause you’re taking turns
Between lovers
I’ve learned scalding skin heals but the heart still yearns for you
Throwing lovers in a broken boat
Might not be so shrewd
I shouldn’t want to drift away with you
But I do
When the sun don’t shine like it used to
Maybe I’m not meant to live in the light
You’re still someone that I could get used to
Baby you’re the one that I still want in my life

The only time
20 hours that I spent with you
Fire burns in a smokey view
Oh my
With ash falling from the sky
We embark on a lover’s plight
Keeps me up till the end of the night
This evening
It’s turning
Liquid courage flowing through our veins
Let’s dance before the moment’s gone
Last grasp chance of a memory baby
Now let’s try
To pass the time
We both know
When we go
It’s like a knife running through rose
A fucking knife running through this rose
This leaving
It’s hurting
I'm really hoping that you feel the same
Last chance till the moment's gone
Last grasp chance of a memory baby
This feeling’s
Returning
Stuck in a cycle that’ll never change
Will we fade like every song?
Or play along for the sake of it, baby
Has this been everything you hoped it
Would be from the moment that we met
I can’t stand the fact that you are leaving
So I lie to the voice inside my head
This was not what I had hoped for
So I lie to the voice inside my head
