My feet are aching, head is pounding my back can’t take much more
Sweat is pouring from me, I wish they'd open up the door
My earplugs left forgotten in their case in my room
My body is a prison, and it will also be my tomb
I used to drink on weekends but right now its Tuesday night
Not enjoying my time at this concert despite
How I wanted to go so bad, and I dragged my friends along
I don’t want them to know I’m down, and so I sing along
Is this real, this isn't right, is it all just in my head?
Did I wake up this morning on the wrong side of the bed?
Why does it feel like my heart is on the mend
Someone grab onto me I am hanging by a thread
My arms reach out to hold you in the dim fluorescent light
And will I send this risky text, of course you know I might
The band is playing so loud, I can't hear myself think
I buy a cup of poison, and my boat begins to sink
But is this real, this isn't right, is it all just in my head?
Did I wake up this morning on the wrong side of the bed?
Why does it feel like my heart is on the mend
Someone grab onto me I am hanging by a thread
You know, it's okay to have an off day every once in a while
You don't need to beat yourself up over it
Sometimes you feel down even when surrounded by the people you love the most
If you need your space then take it, your friends aren't gonna hold it against you
Everything isn't always easy, but you'll get through it
You always do

In the Now
04:10

We build our paper houses, and these paper jobs are cheap
But they give us that green paper, that we tend to hoard and keep
The sweat rolls down our temples, balancing a house of cards
But it lights on fire when the candle hits the floor
We should spend our time how we want, cuz it’s the only thing we’ve got
We should live our lives in the now, and not give it a second thought
You've only got this one life, You can never live it again
So go and spend your time how you want, before we reach the end
They’ll tell you you are wrong, for walking down your own path
And they'll try to make you follow, an ideal that never lasts
But who knows better than you, what you need for you to feel complete
These people don’t know how to see the truth
We should spend our time how we want, cuz it’s the only thing we’ve got
We should live our lives in the now, and not give it a second thought
You've only got this one life, You can never live it again
So go and spend your time how you want, before we reach the end
You only live once, that’s the way I see it
So grab your life by the horns, and take your seat in the cockpit
Enjoy every moment, try and live with no regrets
Cuz you’re the only one you’ve gotta prove yourself to
And I want to be content
And I want to live in the moment
And I think that we're all different
And it’s okay to live the life of which you’ve dreamt
We should spend our time how we want, cuz it’s the only thing we’ve got
We should live our lives in the now, and not give it a second thought
You've only got this one life, You can never live it again
So go and spend your time how you want, before we reach the end

Right/Wrong

Lately I’ve been hearing a lot of common words
Always said with confidence, so smug and sure
Everything’s a reference, fake profound and deep
But these people resonate and regurgitate like sheep
So hollow and empty, nothing’s really said
But people base their lives on these words that they have read
And wait for fate to come create the perfect fairy tale
It’s almost as if destiny is on a bargain sale
They say there’s no such thing as the right person at the wrong time
They would just choose you, but is it such a crime?
To want to slow down, to take a look deep down
Find out who you really are, before going too far?
You should shoot for the moon, even if you miss
You'll land among the stars, isn't that just bliss
Never mind the hard work, I have here your quick fix
Just some simple solution, a sweet forbidden trick
They say there’s no such thing as the right person at the wrong time
They would just choose you, but is it such a crime?
To want to slow down, to take a look deep down
Find out who you really are, before going too far?
Slow down look deep down, slow down look deep down
Slow down look deep down, slow down look deep down
Slow down look deep down, slow down look deep down
Slow down look deep down, slow down look deep down
Slow down look deep down, slow down look deep down
Slow down look deep down, slow down look deep down
Slow down look deep down, slow down look deep down
Slow down look deep down, slow down look deep down
They say there’s no such thing as the right person at the wrong time
They would just choose you, but is it such a crime?
To want to slow down, to take a look deep down
Find out who you really are, before going too far?

Love Song
04:45
|

On that rug in your best friend's apartment
Your marks traced down my back, your breath in my lungs
Floating on your cloud, every moment spent together
I dreamed about the future, what we would become
Frozen in that moment I thought we would last forever
But there were things I should have said that I should've done
It all turned cold on the 1st of November
The frigid icy silence left me numb
So tell me how do you write a love song
How do you know the right words to say
How can I tell you what my heart feels
I've been trying every day
I can hear the words but they won't come through
I want to tell you I...
In a trendy coffee shop in an alley off of main street
The tapping of your foot looked like you would run
And you never raised your gaze as you told me it was over
I just could not believe that we were done
So how the hell do I write a love song
Is there a way that I can get you to stay
I've gotta tell you what my heart feels
I've been trying every day
My heart screams the words, but they won't come through
I need to tell you I...
I never let you know what was on my mind
I sat back and watched you go, as you left me behind
You left me behind
No I couldn't write you a love song
Now I hope you're doing okay
With your new life in a new town
I hope you smile every day
I've since found the words I couldn't say to you
I never told you I loved you

Pizza Time

Beer pong on the table
There’s King’s Cup on the floor
Makeup in the upstairs bathroom
We’re ready and out the door
Lights are low and the music’s loud
We stumble our way into the crowd
The glasses pile up as our
Bank accounts run dry
My body’s feeling grounded but
My head’s up in the sky
I'm getting jostled side to side
In a 40 dollar Uber ride
Can’t wait till I get home
I know exactly who I’ll phone
Can’t wait till I get home
I know exactly who I’ll phone

Feel Something
04:21

Don't wake me up, 5 more minutes please
Thing are better here, within my dreams
No CEOs, no cops, no one dying in the streets
Please just let me sleep
I just want to see a little positivity for a change
It might sound strange but
I want to feel something, feel like I'm more than nothing
I want to feel my heart thumping
Feel my blood pumping through my veins
Like a colony of ants it digs its way inside my mind
Negativity in everything I read online
The only sweet relief
Is in solidarity
I just want to see a little positivity for a change
It might sound strange but
I want to feel something, feel like I'm more than nothing
I want to feel my heart thumping
Feel my blood pumping through my veins
I just want to see a little positivity for a change
It might sound strange but
I want to feel something, feel like I'm more than nothing
I want to feel my heart thumping
Feel my blood pumping through my veins

A part of a circle on my left hand
Try as I might, I can’t understand
I keep on tracing it with my right thumb
But I don’t even notice this work that I've done
You’re standing above me, you’re ten feet tall
I can’t get away, I've got nowhere to crawl
You say it's my fault that this happened to you
I didn’t teach you enough, or show you what to do
I'm starting to think this isn't right
I don't think these problems warrant the fight
I want you to be more than alright
In order to do that, we have to say goodbye
The one thing you tell me that would make it alright
Of course it's the one thing I cannot provide
I gave you everything I had to give
It wasn’t enough, and now you won’t forgive
I'm starting to think this isn't right
I don't think these problems warrant the fight
I want you to be more than alright
In order to do that, we have to say goodbye

Part of You
04:04

The absence of bad doesn’t mean it’s good
But the way things have been going, we’ll take it
Breaking our backs is better than the alternative
Is there nothing we can do?
It wont take much
Just get in touch
With the happy part of you
Go ahead and dance if the music moves you
You can sing or hum along to the tune
Paint yourself a picture go take in a breathtaking view
Just enjoy the things you like for you
Came across a friend sketching in a notebook
I mentioned that I thought it was pretty good
Their eyes turned down, and they said
“Oh, this is nothing, but thank you for not being rude"
You don’t need to impress
Or be the best
To find that happy part of you
Go ahead and dance if the music moves you
You can sing or hum along to the tune
Paint yourself a picture go take in a breathtaking view
Just enjoy the things you like for you
So go ahead and dance if the music moves you
You can sing or hum along to the tune
Paint yourself a picture go take in a breathtaking view
Just enjoy the things you like for you
Go ahead and dance if the music moves you
You can sing or hum along to the tune
Paint yourself a picture go take in a breathtaking view
Just enjoy the things you like for you

A Way Out
05:50
|
|||
The signs were all around
But I was too blind to see
The snow as it came down
And now it’s smothering me
People wander back and forth
And go about their lives
Seems like no one knows
What it takes to survive
This isn’t how I thought it’d be
I don’t know if this is meant for me
I don’t see a way out
Cuz we’re adrift at sea, never to be free
And I need a way out
A way out, a way out
I don’t see a way out
A way out, a way out
And I need a way out
They fed us hopes and dreams
All of our younger years
To sell our souls for a meager fee
Which we call careers
They said if you work hard, you can have it all
I’ve got nothing now
Except my student debt, and this deep regret
Keeping me pinned down
This isn’t how I thought it’d be
I don’t know if this is meant for me
I don’t see a way out
Cuz we’re adrift at sea, never to be free
And I need a way out
This isn't how I thought it'd be (The signs were all around)
Boat begins to sink (All of our younger years) (Oh this is nothing)
So go ahead and dance if the music moves you (Goodbye)
Seems like no one knows
I wanna tell you I (Feel my blood pumping through my veins)
This isn't how I thought it'd be (Tell me how do you write a love song)
They say there's no such thing (We stumble our way into the crowd)
Hanging by a thread
This isn't how I thought it'd be (Dance if the music moves you)
(A little positivity) Before we reach
The end

Dream (Bonus Track)
03:32

You can do what you dream
People seem to get caught up in life and jobs and outside things
Wanting things to be just so, living just like queens and kings well it's
Not about who has the most of this or that at the day's end
It's really how you ran the race, did you break, or could you bend?
And you can do what you dream
Yes you can do what you dream
I try to dream of simple things when I let thoughts drift away
Like healthy lives and happy hearts, if you have this then life's OK
I dream about just spending time being with the ones I love
Having fun and playing songs, and I thank the stars above that
I can do what I dream
yes I can do what I dream
If you would only slow things down and realize what'd close at hand
It's really all you dream about so hit the chord strike up the band
And you can do what you dream
Yes you can do what you dream
