1.Rare
I'm cut off, out of the loop, back of the line.
Can't get a word in,
Can't feel your body close to mine.
And yeah, it's really quite more painful than it sounds.
I can't believe we're losing the connection that we found.
I'm heavy with the weight of missing you, my dear,
And I would tell you how but you're too far away to hear.
That this was the worst day,
Cause this was the first day that you're gone.
I would like to think you're okay without me
And your happy thoughts are rarely about me.
You're so worth all of this torture.
You're so worth all of this torture.
I'm fucked up, end of the noose, back of the line.
I feel sick when I think of the life I left behind.
And yeah, it's really quite more painful than it sounds.
You barely gave a fuck before my body hit the ground.
I'm heavy with the weight of missing you, my dear,
And I would tell you how but you're too far away to hear.
That this was the worst day,
Cause this was the first day that you're gone.
I would like to think you're okay without me
And your happy thoughts are rarely about me.
You're so worth all of this torture.
You're so worth all of this torture.
This is the hardest time to keep your head up.
This is the hardest time to feel safe and sound.
This is the hardest time to keep your head up.
This is the hardest time to feel safe, to feel safe and sound.
I would like to think you're okay without me
And your happy thoughts are rarely about me.
You're so worth all of this torture.
You're so worth all of this torture.
I would like to think you're okay without me
And your happy thoughts are rarely about me.
You're so worth all of this torture.
You're so worth all of this torture.
You're so worth all of this torture.
So worth all of this torture.
2.Teleport
And now I know, I know the truth.
It's just a matter of inspiration
And it all was just a combination
Of the drugs that I did tonight.
It's safe to say that I'm in your head.
It's safe to say that I'm doing a good job.
Pretty sure that you won't forget.
It's safe to say I'm becoming an outlaw.
I wrote a poem just to give to you,
But it all turns to fake words and sounds.
It's safe to say that I'm in your head,
And that's the reason you've been feeling your temples pound.
And now I know
Now I know what I'm up against,
I'll forget in the morning
Like some dream world story, that I wish that I wrote down.
I wish you could teleport and be in my bedroom.
That would make me feel just like new,
That would make it go away.
I made a plan, devised the scheme,
It's just a matter of preparation,
And you know it's just a combination
Of the things that I felt tonight.
I wrote a poem just to give to you,
But it all turns to fake words and sounds.
I wonder if you'll remember me,
When I fuck this up and you're not around.
And now I know
Now I know what I'm up against,
I'll forget in the morning
Like some dream world story, that I wish that I wrote down.
I wish you could teleport and be in my bedroom.
That would make me feel just like new,
That would make it go away.
Three thousand miles till I'm sleeping in your bed.
You're not next door,
You're not down the street.
You're three thousand miles so teleport to me.
I never thought that I would put you through this
Teleport to me.
You're in pieces, how did I do this？
Now I know what I'm up against,
I'll forget in the morning
Like some dream world story, that I wish that I wrote down.
I wish you could teleport and be in my bedroom.
That would make me feel just like new,
That would make it go away.
Now I know what I'm up against,
I wrote a poem just to give to you,
That I wish that I wrote down.
That I wish that I wrote down.
3.Voted Most Likely
Ruined again, what did I do？
I've been caught up and distracted by you.
I held the moment in the palm of my hands and watched it
crumble.
I tried to understand how you could be so normal
and I could be so awkward day after day.
I hate to break the bad news, but I am nothing like you.
Still, you call me all day.
Why is it that you touch me like you want me
and you look my in the eyes like you've never seen a boy before
me？
Meet me at the back door just so we can talk more.
Now I'm asking myself what I broke your heart for.
I never wanted to embarrass you or say anything that wasn't
true.
Left me wide open eating out of your hand.
I watched your car leave. I didn't understand.
How I could be so stupid, how it got so confusing
Still tension in the air. If you want to hurt me,
then you should just desert me, now since you are aware.
Why is it that you touch me like you want me
and you look my in the eyes like you've never seen a boy before
me？
Meet me at the back door just so we can talk more.
Now I'm asking myself what I broke your heart for.
I never wanted to embarrass you or say anything that wasn't
true.
I'll most likely spend tonight alone.
I'd throw a party but no one would come.
I'll be waiting outside till your car pulls up
with butterflies slicing holes in my gut.
I don't want to ruin this again.
4.Dead End Dreams
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.
I don't know how old I am,
I don't know if I'm grown up.
I feel good when I hold your hand,
But when you're gone it's not enough.
(No, it's never enough)
I'm busy trying to save my world,
And making plans to see a girl.
I'll do both if I can
And figure out how old I am.
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I want to do is keep my promises to you.
They'll come true.
(They'll come true)
I don't know what to write to you,
I don't know what your dream boy sings.
I don't know what I'm addicted to,
It's at least a few different things
Just a few.
How could I save the world？
Too busy trying to see a girl.
I'll do both if I can,
And figure out how old I am.
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I want to do is keep my promises to you.
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I want to do is keep my promises to you.
If there was any attempt to make ends meet
I'll meet you halfway
(I'll meet you halfway there)
If there was any attempt to make ends meet
I'll meet you halfway
(And you would tell me)
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I want to do is keep my promises to you.
Nothing to show for these
Dead end dreams that constantly haunt me.
Nothing to show for these dead end dreams
I've got nothing to show for these dead end dreams.
My heart will ache again, it seems.
Cause you're not in my arms
And all I want to do is keep my promises to you.
Come true
(My promises to you)
5.Something's Weird
Somethings weird, I've been running on empty.
Sick since you left me.
It eats me alive like a million diseases.
I'm torn into pieces.
And what could mean the most
I could never express.
I'm such a weak boy,
but I will save you regardless.
Somethings weird, from the moment I met you.
It's stupid to let you just slip away.
But it won't happen so easy
I won't let you leave me.
And what could mean the most
I could never express.
I'm such a weak boy,
but I will save you regardless.
Look at us how could we really be further apart.
I've been dying just to kiss you
and I missed you so much from the start.
I've been trying to pretend
that the problems, they will end
Look at us how could we really be further apart.
And it breaks my heart.
I'm at the bottom of your list of things to do
I'll never get through to you.
I'm at the bottom of your list of things to do
I'll never get through to you.
What could mean the most
(I'm such a weak boy, but I will save you regardless.)
What could mean the most
(I'm such a weak boy, a very weak boy)
I've been trying to pretend
that the problems, they will end
Would you look at us how could we
really be further apart.
And it breaks my heart.
6.Punishment
We had a bad day, nothing to say on the ride home,
bound for the hills and the west coast.
Barely took my mind off of the weather and the time
and the changing of your footsteps.
God, don't let this be my song, I've felt this way, way too
long.
The scariest part of love is living the saddest songs.
Leave me, cause I don't ever wanna go home.
I fell into the hands of punishment, bound by lies and
encouragement.
By the time you read this I'll be miles away.
How is the view from the other side of the fence？
I couldn't tell you, I just want it to make sense.
Shredded her letters, she was stumbling on the ground.
Protect the good of me.
God, don't let this be my song, I've felt this way, way too
long.
The scariest part of love is living the saddest songs.
Leave me, cause I don't ever wanna go home.
I fell into the hands of punishment, bound by lies and
encouragement.
By the time you read this I'll be miles away.
I fell into the hands of punishment, bound by lies and
encouragement.
By the time you read this I'll be miles away.
What this means I'll never know, up all night, all alone.
I'm freezing.
What this means you'll never know, up all night, all alone.
I'm freezing and your leaving.
I fell into the hands of punishment, bound by lies and
encouragement.
By the time you read this I'll be miles away.
I fell into the hands of punishment, bound by lies and
encouragement.
By the time you read this I'll be miles away.
7.Not The First
It all started when I saw you glow,
Feelings came fast spinning out of control.
Wish you were here, wish the feelings could show.
How would you know, you know？
The freak kid picked last for the team.
Out of his league but a boy can still dream.
Turns out she wasn't turned off as it seems,
Now they're a team, a team.
Where did you go？ I want to know, are you back for good？
Maybe all along I treated you like I should.
You can help me pick up the pieces if you would.
I won't forget the first day that we met.
I hadn't even hit rock bottom yet.
Walked towards the light going faster each step
Till I just slept, I slept.
Then in a dream you came back to me
And in the morning I could no longer see.
That's my dilemma, that's my sick fantasy.
You're here with me, with me.
Where did you go？ I want to know, are you back for good？
Maybe all along I treated you like I should.
You can help me pick up the pieces if you would.
Oh, and this is not the first night,
Staying up and trying to word everything right.
Do you know it's like to have someone steal your heart away？
And oh, I know I've said it all before,
Now I'm the idiot standing at your front door
With my hands in my pockets, just trying to steal your heart
away.
I've looked everywhere.
I've looked everywhere.
I've looked everywhere.
Where did you go？ I want to know, are you back for good？
Maybe all along I treated you like I should.
You can help me pick up the pieces if you would.
8.Headstone
I know my eyes have bear witness to this whole scene before.
When the road ends the nightmare begins.
The fighting never stops and I will never truly win.
But make it count. It's plain to see.
Sorry, but it's not the most beautiful view from my knees.
Tried to be a friend but I'm shot down again.
Sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me.
Sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me.
State roads, provide me with the privacy that I've never known.
Going through the motions across the oceans,
or being so fed up with missing her I'm staying home.
Lost at sea, I miss my family.
My house and my street are so far away from me.
Tried to be a friend but I'm shot down again.
Sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me.
Sorry, for a second I thought I was supposed to believe in me.
Sorry, for a second Sorry, for a fuck second
I tried hard just to tell you the truth
but I know more now then I ever knew.
I keep telling myself to forget about you.
I keep telling myself telling myself
You and me were just a couple of kids who said,
We can do anything, and that's what we did.
But my life will be a rock on your headstone,
begging you to never rise again.
9.Spunn
I tried to breathe fresh air tonight to a dead lung
And I tried to take on the world tonight but I'm too dumb (too
dumb)
I'm fighting the urge to drown but the water's too shallow.
You played the CD, it spun around,
As I spun around,
As my head spun around.
In your bed, lay silent, play dead,
We'll spin around, we'll spin around.
Stay in your bed, lay silent, and play dead
The person I have stuck to my bones is boring,
Where did I go wrong？
How the fuck is it already three in the morning？
She stood me up.
So I split the place, tried to save face,
The party was lacking something to embrace.
I'm sick of hanging out with you
If all you're gonna do is ignore me.
You played the CD, it spun around,
As I spun around,
As my head spun around.
In your bed, lay silent, play dead,
We'll spin around, we'll spin
Took your hand (took your hand)
Followed you (followed you)
Up the stairs,
Did what you asked me too.
In your room (in your room)
Finally (finally)
Quiet now,
I did what you said too.
You played the CD, it spun around,
As I spun around,
As my head spun around.
In your bed, lay silent, play dead,
We'll spin around, we'll spin around.
Stay in your bed, lay silent and play dead.
Stay in your bed, lay silent
And play dead
10.Picture Perfect
She had the '59 out,
Daddy let her drive it about.
She honked the horn and thought,
C'mon now, don't me shout.
They took a spin around town,
He felt the tears come back.
He missed her so much when he was gone
And he'll never leave again.
No, he'll never leave again.
Cause the best friends that a boy could have weren't the best
enough,
And her picture perfect world couldn't keep her happy
And that's when they fell in love,
Not at first, but when push really came to shove.
And her picture perfect world couldn't keep her happy
Her picture perfect world couldn't keep her happy no more.
They took a walk to the docks,
Removed their shoes and socks.
They felt the breeze roll in
And took a seat on the rocks.
He said, I miss you so much
She said, I miss you too
We were so stupid for being apart,
What the fuck did we do？
What the fuck did we do？
Cause the best friends that a boy could have weren't the best
enough,
And her picture perfect world couldn't keep her happy
And that's when they fell in love,
Not at first, but when push really came to shove.
And her picture perfect world couldn't keep her happy
Cause the best friends that a boy could have weren't the best
enough,
And her picture perfect world couldn't keep her happy
And that's when they fell in love,
Push really came to shove.
He never knew
But sadly it's true
Her picture perfect world
Couldn't keep her happy no more
11.Night Feelings
He see's them both everyday now.
He watched the story unfold.
In the grass underneath the trees, inside a red SUV,
two silhouettes and no second guessing.
Is someone tryna to test me？ he thought to himself.
Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid
and I felt like I knew everything, now everything's against me.
Just raise your guard and say keep your heart.
You can't get burned if you put out the spark.
I feel I just cant win, let myself down again.
Just raise your guard and say keep your heart.
Those five weeks felt like forever.
He waited this whole time to see her again.
Of course wouldn't you know (this happened two summers ago),
she showed up with her cool new boyfriend
It's starting to annoy him.
He thought to himself
Once upon a time I was an innocent little kid
and I felt like I knew everything, now everything's against me.
Just raise your guard and say keep your heart.
You can't get burned if you put out the spark.
I feel I just cant win, let myself down again.
Just raise your guard and say keep your heart.
I can't win I can't win
You need your space again,
It's not the right time or place again,
you lied right to my face again in your basement, we were
wasted.
I always try to talk at the worst times,
you dated many boys, I'm the worst kind.
Every word I write it the worst line
so if I hurt her feelings, she hurt mine.
Raise your guard, safekeep your heart.
12.Atlas
I stare out of my window
And I look at my neighbors
And take notes on being normal
How to wave and be nice
Or talk to a child
Or offer a hand or actually smile
Maybe I'll learn how to talk to people
Maybe I'll learn how to laugh
Maybe I'll end up just like my dad
But I just don't feel like a grown up yet
I stare out of my window and I count the days
Cause my life's so fucking pointless
I could talk and be nice or light up a joint
Or go be a friend, but what is the point？
Maybe I'll learn how to talk to people
Maybe I'll learn how to laugh
Maybe I'll end up just like my dad
But I just don't feel like a grown up yet
But I just don't feel like a grown up yet
But I just don't feel like a grown up yet
