by Billy the Kid

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
2.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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.
9.
Mixed Tape 03:05
“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
10.
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
