I don't need to try
When it comes to letting you down
I'll let you down easy
I'm not sure I'll be alright
This is the last time for a while
You'll hear a song like this from me
I'll try to get better
If you've been here from the start
Know I'm doing this for you
If you don't even know my name
I guess I got something to prove so let's go

I'm the concrete to your fist
The fractures in your bones
I'm that feeling that you get
That someday you'll end up alone
I don't get worked up
We didn't work the way I want
We both know I had a habit of brushing you off
We're not the same kids that we were back then
Just like the seasons change
I knew this shit was bound to happen
Losing touch with all my friends
Is it too late to make amends?
Maybe in a few years we'll stop losing who we've been
You're the blood inside my veins
The knocking at my door
You're the car crash right outside my house
That left me all alone
It shouldn't be this easy for what we had to pull apart
The glue won't dry and then there's nothing stuck in our hearts
We're not the same kids that we were back then
Just like your stories change
I knew this song was bound to happen
Losing touch with all my friends
Is it too late to make amends?
Maybe in a few years we'll stop losing who we've been
And I know that we cross paths
And I know that people change
This is who I am,
Here's what I have to say
And I know that we cross paths
And I know that people change
This is who I am,
Here's what I have to say

Living Out of Boxes

I've been peeling back the layers of my skin that I can't stand to see
My insecurity's so overwhelming
That if you cut me down much further
You'd be digging at my roots
It's just so hard to see me moving on without you
Your mind can change like the summer weather
My thought's a storm between my teeth
I'm still living out of boxes
I'm still getting on my feet
And the thing that breaks me down the most
Is when I start to realize that you're better off without me
I've been thinking about all the shows in cities you won't get to see
I know they might seem underwhelming
If I could just get your attention
With any song I write
Would it matter who you're leaving with tonight?
Your looks could kill like the winter weather
My blood feels warm between my teeth
I'm still living out of boxes
I'm still getting on my feet
And the thing that breaks me down the most
Is when I start to realize that you're better off without me
I've been losing some blood
I hope that you're losing sleep
Guess I never got the message
My bite marks ran that deep
My jaw locks even tighter
To keep consistency
And the stains that I left
Are there so you remember me
They're there so you remember me
They're there so you remember
I'm still living out of boxes
I'm still getting on my
And the thing that breaks me down the most
Is when I start to realize that you're better off without me

Smoke Up, Johnny

You already live your life like a John Hughes movie
So throw your fist in the air, you look so pretty in pink
I can't quite pull off black and blue
Now I've got my heart set for the winter
I don't think I'll make it to the spring
I'll probably fall apart before the summer's through
I don't think there's any way I'm getting over you.
I've been flipping through newspaper clippings
From back when our parents were kids
I found one from the Challenger explosion
Back in 1986
And I start to think about that day
And what a minute, thirteen seconds could change and I
I start thinking about tragedy
I start to think about the stupid shit we'd fight about
And then I start thinking of you
And all the times that I laughed right in your face
But I just want you to know that
I keep a blanket in my drawer
'Cause I know when it gets cold at night
You can't sleep without one
I keep a lighter by my door
'Cause I know that you just won't turn in
Without one last cigarette
I've been counting the days on a calender
Placing bets on when you'll be back
I'm getting close to my over-under
You'd think I'd find some comfort in that
I'm like a road flare you left I the rain
I try to help, I know you're crying out and you need me.
I guess I'm just not good for anything
I start to think about the stupid shit we'd fight about
And then I start thinking of you
And all the times that I laughed right in your face
But I just want you to know that
I keep a blanket in my drawer
'Cause I know when it gets cold at night
You can't sleep without one
I keep a lighter by my door
'Cause I know that you just won't turn in
Without one last cigarette
I keep a blanket in my drawer
'Cause I know when it gets cold at night
You can't sleep without one
I keep a lighter by my door
'Cause I know that you just won't turn in
Without one last cigarette

Cautious Optimism

Waking up from the sunlight in my window
I miss our old apartment
Where the bedroom faced the west
The empty spaces in my dresser
Are saying what I've been feeling
I slowly wade my body through the mess
I walk blankly to the shower
Drawn into the water
Drown me in the sound
You can try to paint me over
The parts of me you hated will show through just the same
We grow apart as we're growing older
Wasting days I spent as time gets slower
You've made this house into a place that makes me homesick
You've made this bed into a place that I can't sleep
You've made me feel just like a stranger
In the town that I grew up in
And all the progress that I made feel incomplete
I walk blankly to the lakeside
Drawn into the water
Drown me in the waves
You can try to paint me over
The parts of me you hated will show through just the same
We grow apart as we're growing older
Wasting days I spent as time gets slower
Wasting days I spent as time gets slower
You can try to paint me over
The parts of me you hated will show through just the same
We grow apart as we're growing older
Wasting days I spent as time gets slower
Wasting days I spent as time gets slower
Wasting days I spent as time gets slower
Wasting days I spent as time gets slower
