Took a knife right to the back for that. Said I'm never going back to that bar. You wait in line behind your faithless friends. Did it make you feel ashamed to watch them smile while they rubbed salt in my face?
You lost control. You lost a friend. I lost my voice. Got drunk again. And all the while you were counting back in your head.
You cried and said that I always won and you had it so hard, you had it so hard, you have it so hard now.
Took a knife right to the back for that. Said I'm never gonna leave my house. Lay in bed all day and hide my face cause I feel anxious. Don’t want to feel like a chump anymore.
You lost control. You lost a friend. I lost my voice. Got drunk again. And all the while you were counting back in your head.
You cried and said that I always won and you had it so hard, you had it so hard, you have it so hard now.
I lost my voice got drunk again.

Say what you want to me, choose your words carefully
I can’t keep a secret to save my life
What did I ever do besides stick up for you
When no one else was on your side?
I may have called you names,
Complained of all the times I lent you money or gave you rides
But what I’ll never do is pretend that you never deserved our goodbye
Tear it down, break it up
Do what you gotta do
Whatever it takes to take the blame off you
You do no wrong? It’s all you do

Over My Head
03:22

Thought I saw you a year ago. At your friends tattoo party. Turns out I passed out from a hex. I was lucky to make it out.
I’m getting over my head. You’re getting under my skin.
I build dreams around you and I will keep doing so. You’re the girl that came in with a mighty wind. You’re the girl that’s stuck in my mind.
I’m getting over my head. You’re getting under my skin.
You’ll find me waiting patiently when you won’t notice. We wear our hearts up on our sleeves when we can’t focus. Time is on our hands til we can make a move. Until then we got this song when we feel most alone.
Im getting over my head. You’re getting under my skin.

Lucky Strikes Out
03:22
|

In my room we laughed and caught eyes and colds
We sat so close
I could see your beating heart under your clothes
I asked what you’re thinking
You said “Nothing really. It’s getting late and I’ve got work in the morning.”
I watched you start your car through my window from afar
I could see your breath and wondered how it tasted
I got my Lucky Strikes out and replaced him
I lit a strike and a struck a match with my Lucky Strikes and a heart attack
With any luck I met my match
I sat down in defeat and leaned against the door and I thought of all the things that I meant to say but couldn’t anymore
That’s when you knocked and I hopped up
To see who was standing there when you pulled me in and we kissed right there

Check yourself in while I check in with myself
It's such a long drive just to get some help
You tell me things I wish I'd never known
It's always sweet boys who are accident prone
You won't be playing dead if you keep this up
I don't want you to leave too soon
No one in your life knows how bad it's grown
I offer you advice from my phone
All I can be is a shoulder to cry on
While you cheat death in Michigan
Sometimes it feels like all my friends need my help
It's a welcome respite from myself

The World Is Bigger Now
02:59

We were headed to the end, the end of the summer. My mother always told me too much of a good thing has to end. Let the waves roll over my shoulders to take the dead weight with it. That's when I realized that the world is bigger now than me and you.
I don't know what I can say to you. But I have to tell the truth. In this empty space that you create. To get you to look through.
Now I sit at home and drink alone cause I don't have friends that call me. There all sitting in dark corners crying about Doug. Tried to get out of this town but I keep getting sucked back into it. That's when I realized that the world is bigger than me and you.
I don't know what I can say to you. But I have to tell the truth. In this empty space that you create. To get you to look through
They'll stand around.
They'll run their mouths.
They'll tear you down.
I don't know what I can say to you. But I have to tell the truth. In this empty space that you create. To get you to look through

Degenerate

I spent the week inside my bed
Sinking deeper inside my head
I forced myself to leave the house
Or else I’m never getting out
I saw her standing by herself
In the backyard at some party
I hardly knew anyone there
I hardly knew if she knew me
I emptied out my cup
Stood up and sucked it up
I made my way to her and then
I made the same mistakes again
I’m a degenerate, baby
Feeling broken and crazy
I’m a degenerate baby
Waiting for someone to save me
I watched my words as they fell flat
Wishing that I could take them back
Decide to quit while I’m ahead
Retreat inside myself again
I always fuck it up
Regret my losses cut
I’ll just drink til I’m fun again
That’s been my only solid plan
Feels like I’m waiting to grow up
While all my friends keep moving on
Somehow it seems I’ve gotten stuck
In time when I was 21
How should a person be?
What could be wrong with me?
I guess I’ll spend the night alone
And just keep staring at my phone

Tried & True
03:25

I watch you in your sleep
Breathe in, breathe out
You make it look so easy
I wonder if you dream, dream of me
In the glow of the TV
I’m feeling everything that I let in
Not a distraction
I know my mind has had enough
Once I feel I’m cracking
Slip a half under my tongue
One half is never enough
I feel it in my blood
What a relief, a sweet release
From me here in my room
I watch you in your sleep
Breathe in, breathe out
You make it look so easy
I wonder if you dream, dream of me
In the glow of the TV
Slip a half under my tongue
One half is never enough
I feel it in my blood
What a relief, a sweet release
It’s tried and true

She’s waking up next to you. Now you don’t know what you’re trying to do. You get caught in all these lies and now you’re leading her on. And it’s true that no one ever happens to change.
You got them laughing in your face when you’re trying to fight today. It’s hard enough in life just finding your own way.
She started drinking that night. On the way to her brothers house. She hit a few parked cars and now her head is bleeding and she’s gone. Cause no ones ever happens to stay.
You got them laughing in your face when you’re trying to fight today. It’s hard enough in life just finding your own way.
You know I know that they can’t take back what they said. You know I know that they can’t take back what they did.
You got them laughing in your face when you’re trying to fight today. It’s hard enough in life just finding your own way.

Saw her face at the show but she had to go with her boyfriend.So I wrote her a letter addressed to her bedroom asking her to come to LA. She’s out of my league my friends said but I like to pretend.That we’re somewhere on a beach holding hands laughing at them.
Do you really think they had to say those things?
I thinks it's time we change them.
They try and mess around. They try and push you down but you won’t take anything. They tell us who to love and we don't give a fuck cause we won't change anything.
My thoughts are hard to control with her my heart just knows. She mailed me back a photo and a piece of her clothes. Now we’re driving down sunset down singing along to our favorite song saying “They’re just jealous cause we’re young in love!”
Do you really think they had to say those things?
I thinks it's time we change them.
They try to mess around. They try to push you down but you won’t take anything. They tell us who to love and we don't give a fuck cause we won't change anything.
