About a week ago I noticed something strange
My heart beats out of time whenever you’re in range
It sounds cliche, I know, but this feeling’s new
And honestly I don’t know what the hell to do
When you walk in the room, my heart leaps up to greet you; It says how’ve you been, oh goodness it’s so good to see you
—
Reign it in, take a breath, and just let go
I say to myself, as I fucking don’t
My emotions run wild they’re off their leash
no matter how tight a grip I try to keep
So I will run, and I will hide
Bite my tongue and bide my time
Waiting for the day when you’re no longer on my mind
—
I told myself I’d be over this by now
Surely time will help me burn this out
Perhaps I should confess, see where things fall
but what if you’re not really what I want at all?
But when you walk in the room my heart still leaps up to greet you; it still says how’ve you been, oh goodness it’s so good to see you
—
I want to be the one who gets to hold your hand
Take you out on dates and cheesy shit like that
But what if that’s not really what you want from me?
I think maybe I’ll just let things be
And I will run, and will hide
Bite my tongue and bide my time
Waiting for the day when you’re no longer on my mind
I will ride this out and I’ll be fine
It’s just a matter of time

midnight dogs

Midnight dogs are barking at my window; Trying to wake me up before my time
Let me dream a little longer, wake up when I am stronger and have I the will to change my mind
Soon enough they leave me alone,
to worry my thoughts till they’re stripped to the bone
And there’s nothing left but to breathe and wait for daylight
I lie awake and I wonder to myself how long I could hold my breath
How many seconds could tick on the clock before I cave to the pressure in my chest
I don’t know the answer
So I just breathe deep and slow
The midnight dogs are back at my window, and they’re louder than before
Quoth the raven, what do you have that’s worth saving yourself from this for?
I don’t know the answer
So I just breathe deep and slow
Soon enough they leave me alone,
to worry my thoughts till they’re stripped to the bone
And there’s nothing left but to breathe and wait for daylight
Midnight dogs are nipping at my heels and I can’t outrun them yet
I wonder to myself if I could run faster if I couldn’t feel their breath
I don’t know the answer
So I just breathe deep and run
And this time they don’t leave me alone,
They worry my thoughts till they’re stripped to the bone
And there’s nothing left
And there’s nothing left

Avalanche
04:11

Out of nowhere I feel it, chills and shivers down my spine
Man, you really got me that time
I grab a handful of snow to throw it back
Shape it with the warmth of my hands, toss it and
And it falls short.
My aim isn’t what I want it to be
___
This snowball fight is turning into an avalanche each time you make me laugh
The snow underneath can’t handle all the fresh fallen fluff on top
Not without sliding down towards Us
__
My cheeks hurt from smiling so long in the cold
I think they’re frozen in place
From windchill and the friendly fun
It makes my heart so full my chest aches
___
This snowball fight is turning into an avalanche each time you make me laugh
The snow underneath can’t handle all the fresh fallen fluff on top
Not without sliding down towards Us
___
My fingers are cold and numb
They can barely feel anything at all
They can’t wait to be wrapped around something warm
Like a coffee, no sugar, just cream
Because your hands would be too cold to warm up me
___
This snowball fight is turning into an avalanche each time you make me laugh
The snow underneath can’t handle all the fresh fallen fluff on top
Not without sliding down towards Us
___
I see it coming and I can barely bring myself to move
Because I still want to win this stupid snowball fight against you
And I want to let the snow slide over me, trap me in this feeling for a while
At least till spring comes and we thaw and go on with our lives
This snowball fight is turning into an avalanche each time you make me laugh
The snow underneath can’t handle all the fresh fallen fluff on top
Not without sliding down towards Us
So we run and laugh about how we escaped what almost was

Tic Tac Toe

Two steps forward and one wrong turn
You’d think one of these days I would learn my left from my right
But I always find
My own way eventually
Caught in indecision, feels like something’s missing but I’m not sure what it could be
No matter how many mattresses I try to sleep on I can always feel the pea
No matter what it is, never quite fits like a glove it seems
Tic tac toe
Only 3 in a row
Doesn’t sound that impossible to do
Yet somehow I’m always stuck at two
Don’t ask me for a 5 year plan
All you’ll get is a punchline for God and friends
Don’t know where I’ll be
Among possibilities
But I love the mystery
Tic tac toe
Only 3 in a row
Doesn’t sound that impossible to do
Yet somehow I’m always stuck at two
If I throw my whole self into something
What would come out the other side
I don’t know because honestly I don’t think I’ve ever tried
Always just dip my toes
But I’ve gotta know
Where’s the high dive???
Two steps forward and one wrong turn
You’d think one of these days I would learn my left from my right
But I always find
My own way eventually

Not Drunk Enough
03:27
|

I almost text you, like, half a dozen times
Wondering what you’re up to and if I’m on your mind
But I don’t
'Cause, babe, I’m drunk
but not drunk enough
The words are on the tip of my tongue
and they taste so sweet
But maybe that’s just the wine
The only way to tell is to give it time
I could delete your contact in my phone
As if I wouldn't still know your number by heart
So I don’t
'Cause, babe, I’m drunk
but not drunk enough
My emotions are spilling out over their brim
I almost tell you but I can’t find the words to describe them
So I don’t
'Cause, babe, I’m drunk
But not drunk enough
There’s someone here who looks just like you
I almost call them over to see if they have your tattoo
But I don’t
'Cause, babe, I’m drunk
But not drunk enough
~interlude~
I check my watch, it’s a quarter after two
I've almost gone an hour without thinking about you
But I don’t
Because, babe, I’m drunk
But never drunk enough

SELLOUT

Pursuit of happiness feels more like an obligation than a right
Who knew what makes me happy would be so hard to find
But am I really that ignorant of what I want?
Or am I just suspicious of anything that falls into place too much?
Because i don’t know that I’m doing it for love
I’ve been searching my whole life and haven’t found a single thing
Instead i’ve managed to fall in love with pieces of everything
But am I really that ignorant of what I want?
Or am I just suspicious of anything that falls into place too much?
Because i don’t know that I’m doing it for love
If I have a calling, I don’t think I’ve heard it yet
Or maybe I’m just plugging my ears because I’m not ready to hear it
But am I really that ignorant of what I want?
Or am I just suspicious of anything that falls into place too much?
Because i don’t know that I’m doing it for love
I don’t know that I’m doing it for love
I don’t know that I’m doing it for love

I don't miss you at all
You wander through my thoughts most days
So what if your body is 800 miles away
I don't miss you at all
You call to often for me to say
That I miss you all the time
That I miss you every day

The Final Frontier

I wanna be dumb and impulsive
Because I’ve only ever been a dreamer too smart and afraid to take unknowing risks
Even when I’m being spontaneous
I’m just playing Russian roulette with, like, 5 different predetermined plans
No matter how hard I try, i can’t slow down my mind
From racing 15 steps ahead
I wanna be young and reckless
Before I‘m too old for that shit
And the only stories I have are all of the times that I cried in the library after 10pm
I wanna live and love without worry
About what may or may not be coming next
Be it end or beginning, and find the world is still spinning from one day into the next
I wanna be naive and hopeful
With dreams so big and buoyant they could shatter the sky
And each setback feels more like a misstep on a trampoline than a guilty failure of my whole life
I wanna roll with the punches
And maybe gift back a chosen few
Because I shouldn’t have to feel guilty for being a work in progress and I won’t stand around to just take abuse
I wanna go on adventures
And make up some of the time I’ve lost
Mourning imaginary futures where the planet imploded because I told the cashier“hey, you too!”
I want you to come with me
I want us to grow as we take on life
I’ll hold your hand when you need it, please take mine when I need it,
as we run to wherever our hearts lead us next
I don’t know what the future holds
but maybe that’s okay
because I know I’m never really quite as alone as my brain tends to think
