Hospital
02:37
|

I woke up in the hospital
Everybody going different speeds
I looked down at somebody
Who looked a lot like me
All the people standing still
Paying their respects
I’m up on the ceiling screaming
You got no idea how good it gets
I woke up in the hospital
Has anybody seen my dog
It sounds funny hearing it out loud now
But that was my first thought
Then all of the machinery
Kicked in and took over me I’m not where I’m supposed to be
Right then it occurred to me
How am I gonna get back in
I woke up the hospital
I think I changed my mind
I take back what I said before
Think I need a little more time
Can I get a little more time
Think I need a little more time

Aftermath
03:10
|
|||
Everyday is the same
And I don't know who to blame
When I look in my brain
I know there was a time I wanted life to change
When I look in the mirror I see the time go by
I don't want to remember what I used to be like
Cause everybody's only looking out for themselves
Can you forge a path through the aftermath
Get me out of this place
I want to drive all night in to outer space
Tell me you feel the same
I can't find the words to explain
Bought a beautiful garden
Won't go outside
I just stare out the window at the people passing by
Pour over the pieces of my broken life
I'd glue it back together but it gets worse every time
Cause everybody's only looking out for themselves
Can you find a way or the words to say
Cause everybody's only looking out for themselves
Can you forge a path through the aftermath
Everyday is the same
And I don't know who to blame
Because everybody's only looking out for themselves
Everybody's only looking out for themselves
Everybody's only looking out for themselves
Everybody's only looking out for themselves

Mr. Fix It
03:09
|
|||
Everything you try to fix you just make worse
Cut my kitchen table in to pieces
I don’t have the words
Because you broke them down into very basic shapes
And I don’t remember who I was before you started breaking things
When you called to tell me what I was doing wrong
You were a 29 hour drive away
Back where you said I belonged
But the fence you tried to hold up with a string
Blew away the next day that you started breaking things
I thought we were building something
You said you drew some plans
But everything you ever touched just falls apart in my hands
Everything you ever loved just falls apart in your hands
When the spaces in between the lines collapsed
I have to say I felt ok I think we both knew this wouldnt last
But the lengths at which you went to contradict
How you always knew what you were gonna do
But you just needed a place to live
I thought you were building something
You drove off with my plans
But everything you ever touched just falls apart in my hands
Everything you ever touched just falls apart in your hands

Recovery
03:07
|
|||
I wake up and you’re on your phone
Have you been waiting all alone
For someone who is worth looking up for
It comes and goes
The way I frame
How the light behind your eyes has changed
It’s like you remembered
All the plans that you made until you knew my name
And you’re trying to find a way to say
You’ll never look at me the same
Because you love her
And you can’t recover
I wanted you to reach for me
All through the night and in the front seat
But now I know I need more than you need me
And every time I think about if I couldn’t live without you
You take all the time in the world you need
Cause you don’t owe me anything
There’s a part of me that wanted to believe
That you don’t still love her
And I can’t recover
Recovery won’t look the same on me, Recovery is whatever we want it to be
So go on keep me up all night
Trying not to call or write
Hoping to decipher
What it feels like
To see you for who you really were
With or without losing her
I hope one day you recover
So just take all the time in the world you need
And I’ll be working on my recovery

So Far Gone
03:07
|
|||
The problems that we have
Will never go away
Much like the memories
When you look at me that way
I'm not here to tell you how to live your life
So don't ask me what I'm thinking about
Every single night
The whole world stopped and I still can't stop loving you
Despite the stupid things that you can't help but do
I don't claim to know
What's wrong or right
Tell me that I'm not alone
In wanting to go back in time
Cause we are so far gone
We are so far gone
We are so far gone
Now
Mending the patchwork patterns
We have come to be
Sometimes I can't tell
Which parts are part of me
And what in my very hands
Is just a crutch
Something I began to tell myself
When it all became too much
A piece of fabric
A double stitch
No amount of trying
Can undo the mess I'm in
So if you get this message
And you're ok
Go outside and find
A brand new piece of road to write my name
Cause I'm so far gone
I'm so far gone
I'm so far gone
Now

Just Friends
03:02
|
|||
You look like a one way street
and you walk six feet in front of me
when you’re talking you won’t look at me
cause you’re not *not* not in love with me
Come on
I don’t need your autograph
when we’re making jokes they don’t make you laugh
jot this down on my behalf
I just want my mixed tape back
I won’t be coming back
You left me left on read
Forget just what i said
Cause I wouldn't even want to be your friend
You can’t find your cigarettes
and I can’t find my self respect
and you're not drinking to forget
but you don't stop til there is nothing left
I won’t be coming back
You left me left for dead
I won’t do this again
Cause I wouldn't even want to be your friend
When I told you I was just like you what I meant was that I do it too
And it doesn’t change my point of view just to be something you see right through
i like when you hold my hand
but you like the dave matthews band
and but i won’t be doing this again
because you like the dave matthews band
I won’t be coming back
You left me left for dead
I won’t do this again
Cause I wouldn't even want to be your friend

Up Til Now
02:43
|
|||
Don’t you worry your pretty little head
The night is still young
We’ve got time for what you never said
When you thought I was the one
We could talk all night but you’re never done
Cause there’s always something you thought of once
And you’ve got to tell me now
You’d forgotten up til now
Days go by
I think I’ve heard the end
But you thought of one more
Pouring over every word you send
But what are you writing for
Did I misread you
Did you mistake me
For some static notion or guarantee
And you’ve got to tell me how
You’ve got it figured out
And you’ve got to tell me now
You’d forgotten up til now
Call me when I’m coming down you always seem to know just how
It hits and then I’m over/out
Flips and follows me around
Up until now

Good Enough
02:54
|
|||
I can tell you used to feel all alone like it wasn’t real
all the colors left the world the day you woke up without her
you remember every morning until it ended without warning
every night you hope you wake up to her sleeping in her makeup
cause that would mean you had a big night
And she doesn’t like to fight
So you just went to bed
And you tried to forget
All the things that you know she noticed
you’d rather rewrite it than own it
Maybe we all blot the truth out and tell ourselves it would’ve worked out
so you had a big fight
said you didn’t get the words right
told her that you misspoke
but you know she knows you know
you meant every word you said and you both know why she left
Cause it wasn’t ever love
It was just good enough
I could tell you couldn't feel something that could have been real
I can’t put you back together
If we both know you can’t forget her
so let’s go have a big night
it doesn’t have to be just right
We don’t have to be in love
It can just be good enough.

Mixed Tape

“Don’t believe in free will”
You said
And I took a step back
You always kept me at arms length
I always kept you on the edge
Of the bed you grew up in
Cause I could never get close enough
You don’t believe in free will
I don’t believe in love
I keep my cards on the table
You were stacking up the deck
There was nothing up your sleeve
Just playing too close to your chest
And as I watch you slip through my hands
I think you’re the next best thing I never had
I want to be loved
In the ways I love
All the things you can’t think of
Sometimes it’s like you see through me
Sometimes you can’t look away
I’m trying to reach you
All through the night in to the day
And I swear I can feel you
Reach for my hand
But you’re so far from here
You don’t understand
I want to be loved
In the ways I love
All the things you can’t think of

Calendar Page
03:01
|

When you gonna stop hiding from you life
Covered all the mirrors
Turn out all the lights
Until the world disappears
There’s always somebody better
Turns out
Keeps you paralyzed
The world didn’t stop because you didn’t get what you want
Nobody high risk died
It was like time didn’t pass
You just turned another calendar page
The minutes turned to hours and the hours felt like days
And you were still so far away
From knowing what to say
Now you’ve been spinning in circles
Arms outstretched
It feels like gravity’s working
Until you second guess
Everything you though could be everything that you want
Like a book of leaves and forget me nots
It was like time didn’t pass
You just turned another calendar page
The minutes turned to hours and the hours felt like days
And you were still so far away
From knowing what to say
