i never meant to spend the night
i never meant to stay
you shut the door, turned out the light
said “go to sleep dorée”
it was so cold and i was tired
it had been a long day
i closed my eyes and fell asleep
knew it was okay
but i don’t want to
go outside
i just need a
a ride
and i don’t wanna get excited yet
laying down in someone else’s bed
never been here, guess i’ll try it
lights go out and i stay silent
i don’t wanna get excited yet
you broke me down, built me back up
i’m built a different way
i lost control, i got in touch
and i don’t feel the same
it’s not that bad, i’m doing fine
i go about my days
only miss you every night
and every time i wake
but i don’t want to
waste your time
i just got too
too much pride
and i don’t wanna get excited yet
laying down in someone else’s bed
in discussion i stay silent
tryna keep an open mind but
i don’t wanna get excited yet
whichever the way the wind blows
it’s never as windy as it seems
and tell me to get up lets go
let go but i don’t know what that means
and i don’t wanna get excited yet

Spells of Innocence

wait
there’s something in the water
you’re elated
you don’t have to bother
while i’m pacing the room that i should lay
face
the monsters in the bottle
while i’m awake
my mistake
but i don’t care to explain
until i’m faded and wasting away
mourning the morning of that day
and i don’t really need another pity cry or a shitty fight
or a “will you be alright?”
i don’t need nothing but i know you like to come off as the bigger guy
so take the wheels and drive
and there she goes
this is getting old
traces of broken conversation
“open up more” you said “i won’t lose my patience”
then the fog clears out but i’m still underground
under spells of innocence and other things i wish i’d found
oh god, i got so close
the bigger picture never shows the big inflictions i suppose, and i
and i
and i’m wasted and fading away
mourning every morning like today
and i don’t really need another pity cry or a shitty fight
or a “will you be alright?”
i don’t need nothing but i know you like to come off as the bigger guy
so take the wheels and drive
and there she goes
this is getting old
and there she goes
this is getting old

sunday night
too many plants in the garden
oh how’m i gonna sleep tight?
and the wind’ll blow from the cold window outside
so i go
to a fantasy world where time will move on slow
and the sun will shine and all
the plants will grow
and i couldn’t show you the right way cause darling it’s a mystery but
i will hold your hand tight
and soon it’ll be history but
you don’t know
cause you've always felt alone
but i'm sure,
i'll show
just you wait
everything has gotta fall down sometimes
when you pick it up it’ll be worth the fight
and we gon be alright
fire away
times are tough to find a peaceful piece of mind but
i'll be waiting for you on the other side
and we gon be alright
there’s a light
at the end of the tunnel
though it may not be in sight
and the storm will pass and the sky will fill with kites
and i know
nothing’s for sure but i think we’ll make it out alive
you can come lean on my shoulder a thousand times
and i couldn’t show you the right way cause darling it’s a mystery but
i will hold your hand tight
and soon it’ll be history but
you don’t know
you’re too far away from home
but i'm sure
i'll show
just you wait
everything has gotta fall down sometimes
when you pick it up it’ll be worth the fight
and we gon be alright
fire away
times are tough to find a peaceful piece of mind but i'll be waiting for you on the other side
and we gon be alright
[repeat chorus]
we gon be alright x2

Otherside

laid down and strung out
no control, but doing fine
preoccupied with hoping that i
take back the confidence i had when i was 5
unjeopardized, alone in my mind
i’m at a loss see, i don’t want to be disembodied
i would rather stay inside
or whisper softly, “i just wanted to be somebody” right before i close my eyes
i don’t wanna let that slide
i’m fine watching them fall in line
so unidentified
i know better, i don’t wanna die yet
when i go i’ll leave behind
part of my state of mind
or else what a waste of time
i know better, i don’t recognize myself
i know i sound entitled, well you’ll see me on the other side
stay sound asleep as i see everything go out of style
i keep opening doors, and i leave them wide open
leave them behind
and it’s all in my head and i shouldn’t be envious, all i know is i’m still paralyzed
i can’t waste my time
they’re drinking coffee and conversing about their hobbies
things that make them feel alive
and sounding cocky as the say it’s worth it for the money
i don’t wanna live that life
i don’t wanna let that slide
i’m fine watching them fall in line so unidentified
i know better, i could fall behind
so when i go don't leave me dry
pardon my state of mind
but what a waste of time
i know better, i don’t wanna die
i know i sound entitled, fine with me you’ll see me on the other side
i know i sound entitled,
it's fine with me you’ll see me on the other side

You've Got Me

i'm not ready to say i know
what the future may hold cause we don’t know
i'm ready to go
conversations embrace my soul
so magnetic i feel that i can’t go
you’re lucky you’re home
i've been keeping thoughts in
i can feel you
breathing, beating, sleeping
i don’t want to see this out yet
waste something beautiful
i don’t want to play that card yet
rather we bleed to the bone
it’s just a matter of time til the stars un-align
but all that i know is it’s worth half a fight or so
and you’ve got me
me
copacetic but so indulgent
wandering wondering just how time it goes so quickly
we’ll never know
need we wait til the birds have flown?
hold my breath as i pray that this won’t fold
i'm ready to go
and since i've been pulled in
how am i supposed to leave you?
your skin encompasses all that i needed to know
i don’t want to see this out yet waste something beautiful
i don’t want to play that card yet i’d rather see this one cold
i know that all will be fine and it’s not worth my trying just how to define what a word can’t describe
and you know
that you’ve got me
me
i don’t want to see this out yet waste something beautiful
we could let go
i don’t want to play that card yet i’d rather see this cold
maybe i'm out of my mind and it’s not worth our time
but all that i know is that something feels right
and it shows
that you’ve got me
me

The Things They Carried

i could really use a miracle
have a spirit call me on my way
where’s the pot of gold?
this has gotten old
i pray you’re unbreakable
my body’s shaking but you’re barely one to blame
i’ve been feeling kinda cynnical at the pinnacle of my mistake baby light the load
i can take the high road
wade on the brink of always and unthinkable
always seems the same
but i don’t really know
i don’t really care
i don’t wanna blow up but you know i’ll always be there
dare me to share what i carry and lose to your prayer
i should've listened to what i’d been told
a city of gold is no home for holding on to your throne
and now that we’re grown
i’m over the hopeful tone
you’re not my own
but that’s a pretty low blow
i didn’t wanna play it back i tried to block the fact you’d be the one to fuck me up like that
my bad you’re just a passing fad
i know i helped cast a shadow
and down below i felt you holding on the rope that i had dropped
no control i forgot
so go
and i’ll pay the fare
as long as you’re home and i’m safe under someone else’s care
be a burden to bury
i’m sure you’re nowhere
and baby sure enough there’s no repair unpredictable
i’ll warn ya i won’t be there, for
i’m not holding on to you anymore
and i won’t fold and i’m not yours what’s more?
why don’t you know?
why don’t you care?
and why won’t i blow up?
for god’s sake i think it’s only fair you’re a burden to bury
i’m lost in your prayer
