I’m so asleep
This is an only just a dream and I know
I’m not laying on the concrete outside your apartment but I’m
Coming to my senses while you’re crying on the pavement
From the words that you just told me and how i hope to god you didn’t mean them
But I’ve been
Running round in circles
I’ve been losing track of sleep
This was never my intention
But they got the best of me and I’m still
Piecing this together, but i know now why you mean it
I’ve been running round in circles
Summer just wasn’t our season
I’m tripping over words
I’m panicking, overreacting
I know you could do much better
But just my luck i can’t accept that
I need a re-evaluation
Maybe an execution of my older self
To let you sleep at night
Am i not strong enough to fall asleep
And wake up from this nightmare when you’re still here with me
I am not strong enough to fall asleep
‘Cause when i wake up you’re not here with me

Be Mine

I see you walking towards the bar in a straight line it’s fine seeing all the lights shine
On your eyes since the day we said goodbye I hope you know
I’ve had a
Hard time just dealing with myself
I’m seeing pictures of me as someone else
But think if i could get you to look my way you’d could take me back for one more day
I wanna be your late night drunk text
I wanna be your shot waiting at the bar
I wanna be that last little reason you come home with me so make up your mind
And be mine
So I take another step back throw another drink back
To see you look my way
Is there something in my teeth
I forgot how to breathe
Let me just say
I’ve missed you so desperately
Since the last day that you told me
I just need more time to think, but for now

Smoke Me Out

She said i needed to grow up
I still carry that weight with me
I keep it wrapped around my finger
The thing that keeps me grounded
Because i know she’s right
So i packed my books, my things, and moved to a different city
Left her at home
To sit and sink into the fabric of her bed to dwell on all her past regrets
I hope she’s happy about the way she left
She’s a southeast beauty queen
She’s the brightest sight that my eyes have ever seen
But she up and went away one day
I’ll sit and wait to say I’m sorry you’ll never change
Her words were falling like a landslide from her tongue
She threw away her thoughts because she’s couldn’t think for herself
She let the others get their way
I tried my best to forgive
You tried your best to forget
I hope you’re lonelier then you’ve ever been
She comes and goes like cigarette smoke
Exhaled from her lungs
The cherry tip of something i thought could never go so wrong
She just made a critical mistake
I’m just a boy who couldn’t keep it together anyway

Bed Sheets

I hope you’re looking for something bigger and better out there
Im getting better at being alone
I’ve learned a lot these past few months just letting you know I’m doing alright
I’ve grown up a lot but I’m not quite fine
But i know you’re having a hard time
Don't hide under the bed sheets
The sun can't shine through
Don't let your heart keep fading
Because I'm right here waiting
Don't hide under the bed sheets
The sun can't shine through
Don't let your heart keep fading
Because I'm right here waiting for you
I remember the night you said to me “please dont ever leave”
I’m still trying to keep that promise
I promise
I’ll say you’ve always got a place to stay if you ever need to get away
Because I know how your home can be sometimes

Said Goodbye

She said i really need the coast line
Cause this humid southern air never made me feel alive
I’m no better at helping her get her what she needs
Always turning down what i can do to help her see
It gets better
She said goodbye
I tried my best to call her
Please don’t go
She ran away
She said goodbye
I was losing myself in her life over time and that’s not fine
And that’s all I’ve heard from her from last time
I’m always lookin for a way to do better without her
That’s really unhealthy i know
I’ve got a shitty way of coping with being alone
I know she’s well on her way to changing the world
I’m not gonna stop her
Just wish she would’ve brought me along

Last Song

The sunsets here are never quite as breathtaking as you were
And it’s been shadowed covered up by your clouds of gray and rainy days they taunt me
To make me clean but you never gave a shit about me
And I can’t let that go
Lately I’ve been doing better and I think that’s better luck than progress
But you haven’t shed a tear since you’ve been gone
You haven’t shed a tear since you’ve been gone
I’ve covered miles of dirt to find my piece of gold
but it’s just never shining at the right time
I always seem to find it just before
I start to think of you
And I the life we used to have
And how the threw it all away
Yea you threw it all away
And you had the nerve to say “I miss you”
But everything we see in hindsight is 20/20
Like how I took it way too far and you told me you stopped caring
I said a lot i didn’t mean
And i know you gave your all for me
And i haven’t grown up yet but I’m working on it
That i promise
I’m sorry i put you through hell
And i hope this fall will treat you well
I’m still so hung up on your ghost
And I’m sorry i can’t let you go
This silence kills me
When I’m sent to your voicemail I’m screaming
I’m sending messages in bottles with no hope for reply
I know that when you see them you turn away with a heavy sigh
Why can’t i just go away
Why can’t i just go away
Why can’t i just go away
Why can’t i just go away
Summer just wasn’t our season
