lately i've been pretending that i don't see you
cause i'm done hanging onto the things i used to be into
like "wouldn't it be nice" or cheese fondue
or the way you used to always say "don't worry man i got you"
what did it mean to you
if it ever meant anything at all
don't act so bummed over something you never wanted in the first place
don't act so bummed, cause you're bumming me out man, you're bumming me out
and i've been a little bit more distant
trying to find where things were inconsistent
between you and me
so what did it mean to you
if it ever meant anything at all
don't act so bummed over something you never wanted in the first place
don't act so bummed, cause you're bumming me out man, you're bumming me out
and i don't know what to say
and i don't what to do
to get through to you

Something Else

i asked what the worst thing i could say was
but what was worse was your response cause
you took the words out of my mouth
i guess i’ll just go back to an empty apartment now
and I’m sorry I wasted your time
i just thought for once maybe I could get things right
between us, come on and admit that
it wasn’t that bad
and I’ll just to keep myself this time
cause before it didn’t work out right
and honestly it’s not worth the fight
or all of those sleepless nights
and I’m sorry I wasted your time
i just thought for once maybe I could get things right
between us, come on and admit that
it wasn’t that bad

I knew it was never gonna happen
I just wanted to imagine it in my head
Till I decided to get over it
And I’m sorry for bringing you into this
Into my own bullshit
The part of my life where I decide who I am and what I like
It’s not that I think I’m living wrong
I just don’t think I’m living the right way
Cause I never feel comfortable
When you’re standing too close to me
And I know it’s not fair to you
The shit that I’ve been putting you through
That’s the song that’s been playing in my head
To mark all the time I’ve been laying in bed
And I’m sorry for bringing you into this
Into my own bullshit
The part of my life where I decide who I am and what I like
It’s not that I think I’m living wrong
I just don’t think I’m living the right way
Cause I never feel comfortable
When you’re standing too close to me

It's Fine, I'm Sorry
02:36

Spent a lot of time getting over you
Cause you were something to get used to
Now I just waste weekends away
Getting drunk and sleeping in late
And I’ve been pulling it together
Since the weather’s getting better
But I don’t think a seasonal change is gonna change anything
No it’s not gonna change a goddamn thing for us
I guess I’ll get used to
Things without you
I guess that’s what I deserve for how I’ve been acting lately
And I know I’ve made a mistake or two
And I guess this year is getting pretty full
So I hope you don’t mind
If I keep to myself this time
Keep to myself this time
I guess I’ll get used to
Things without you
I guess that’s what I deserve for how I’ve been acting lately
And I did what I had to get past the part of moving on where everyone said “look at you, you’re a mess”
And honestly I don’t care at all about the time I spent feeling half dead, I just wanna go back to before this

Romantic Movies
03:11
|

thought i saw you from the corner of my eye
but i guess that was nothing
i keep having this picture in my head
but i know that it means nothing
and i don't want to scare you away by saying i see you in everything
i just wish it was as easy as it was in the movies
then maybe all of this would add up to something
some big montage scene of some big finale
and not everything needs to be like the movies
like the ones that i watch when i cant fall asleep
and there's nothing that romantic about any of this
there's nothing that dramatic just some stupid kids
so tell me why i always end up here
watching the ending again
like its different with some beer
and not everything needs to be like the movies
like the ones that i watch when i cant fall asleep
not everything needs to be like the movies
not everything needs to be like the movies

What Now?
03:06
|

it happens every time i’m drunk with you
i’m surprised to took so long for you to catch onto
the fact that i’ve been thinking of you
that i haven’t been telling the truth
and she said “Everything’s fine if you’re honest with me”
and honestly i can’t blame you for wanting that
cause I’ve been hiding from you for a couple of weeks
it might be a couple of months now
finding all the right words to say
but no matter what i won’t say it to your face
and i know i shouldn’t be so hung up on this
i just hard when you never had something you miss
and i just hope that you’re happy
whether that’s with or without me
and she said “Everything’s fine if you’re honest with me”
and honestly i can’t blame you for wanting that
cause I’ve been hiding from you for a couple of weeks
it might be a couple of months now
finding all the right words to say
but no matter what i won’t say it to your face

Tired All the Time
02:37
|

When will I just learn to relax
Learn that things aren’t half as bad as they seem
There’s no need to be so mean to myself
And I know you don’t want to hear about that
Hear I’m oh so fucking sad
But I swear talking it out kinda helps
Cause I won’t let another good day waste away
Waiting for something to change
And lately I haven’t been able to sleep
I can’t do my dishes I can barely eat
So if you see me could you cut me some slack this week
Cause I won’t let another good day waste away
Waiting for something to change in me

Nosebleeds
02:35
|
|||
oh no the feeling came back
i guess i'll just have to get used to that
and spend every day by the river
waiting for myself to get better
cause i haven't been able to sleep at night
im just staring at the water to see
if the tides are gonna turn for me
and i've been forcing the nosebleeds
hoping you would care about me
and i know how this is gonna end
with me stuck in my head again
and i've been trying to be more fun again
been trying, to make up for how i've been
cause it doesn't feel good and it doesn't feel great
always pushing you away
i just wish that i could get my head straight
and i've been forcing the nosebleeds
hoping you would care about me
and i know how this is gonna end
with me stuck in my head again

Tomorrow, Maybe
03:01
|

i want to go back to a year and a half ago
back to when i first met you
why do all good things go away
you said we would stay in touch
not a lot but at least enough
now i only see you every other week
and it's not the same
no, it's not the same anymore
guess i'm not used to being on the outside
the outside of your life
and no i'm not living in the past
i'm just asking for a call, even just a text back
cause i'm over losing sleep
thinking about how things used to be
before i messed it all up, yeah i know its all my fault so
did you ever get that tattoo
to piss your mother off
and did you ever decide to dye your hair green or blue
i heard you got an undercut, sound like that suits you

It felt like rain when my head sank
Cause all the words that you said came back to haunt me and
I spent 3 whole hours walking round the city trying to figure out what to say back
3 whole hours walking round the city trying to figure out where I stand
And I know what this must sound like
It must sound like I need to move on with my life
But I swear it’s not what it seems
I just wanna be more than just a background sound
Noise that pollutes cause we’re on bad ground
And I want to be more than what you think I am
I just want to be like some voice in your head
Something you think about before bed
I want to be more than what you think I am
And it sounds like I need to move on from the past
But it's much harder than that
I just want the summer back (before the fall of everything)
I just wanna be able to talk to you again
