Christmas 03:15

I’m meeting your mom on a Thursday It’s Christmas She got stuck behind the tracks She’s waiting for th train to pass She said she’s running late I’m on time for the first time in my life I’m already here I’ve already lit my candle There was barely enough space to set it down, on account of all the other candles and ornaments arranged by friends and family prior to my futile little candle I still pick you flowers, I still buy you candles They’re just not scented anymore I would love to just once more get you a nice scented candle One of those that crackle like firewood The same kind I got you four Christmases ago I was never a good gift giver And for that I’m sorry I haven’t seen me as complete since the day we both walked out But burying your ashes in the dirt that summer day fucking broke me Your mom shows up a few minutes later It’s cold The coldest day this year I’m freezing

It’s okay You’re doing your best And you’re gonna get there I promise you’re not gonna fall You’re laying down and I’m right here It’s gonna be Fine, I believe you It’s just funny how it always ends up like this Don’t you think you could’ve done better without me? I hate holding you back When your holding my back On the second floor In your one-bedroom apartment The sheets are damp, I’m sweating I hear your voice, it’s soothing But I still feel it coming My limbs are slowly going numb I’m losing balance, laying down Your hands caress my bony body Built by Tylenol and coffee I turned the gas on in this house And I swear it’s gonna blow Before it all gets figured out I’ll get happy Now isn’t that what you want to hear? And I’ll try to make it happen If I’m still around next year You were wrong I’m out of fight Throw everything I love into the fire I’m not a better man, I can’t hang around Breathe in the smoke and let it fill your lungs Throw everything I love into the fire I was a better man, I had it all worked out Breathed in the smoke and let it fill my lungs Maybe I’m not the man you think I thought I was I swear I’m not a liar, I’m a realist I’ve drained the empty cups but I can’t swallow this It’s not getting better, isn’t getting worse I tried getting better, but it’s gotten worse It was a low burn once, but I’m kerosene I’d sleep for good if I could stand my dreams I’d sleep for good if I could stand my dreams I’d sleep for good

Sylvia 02:57

Okay, so there’s this girl, right? I mean, of course there is She’s tall, kind of awkward, and she has this drop-dead smile And she’s smart I mean, she’s SO smart Like everything she says sounds like poetry Like she’s reciting Sylvia Plath or Saying things out loud to remember them for when she has time to write them down The first time I saw her She was wearing this green knitted sweater over a blouse of some sort Navy blue jeans and Dr. Martens boots She wasn’t looking at me at all I don’t know when she started paying attention to me But eventually she did Hey, man, it’s me I was thinking about the time that you passed out In our old apartment We all got scared, but then you came back Like the pouring rain on a summer day Like our childish ways from when we were back in high school The summers seem much warmer now But the winter’s bound to get cold I guess At least that’s what they say I’m no scientist But I know I’ll freeze my ass off When did our common friends Become your friends exclusively I must have missed the memo I’ve been trying to reach you And I tried my best not to cut the cord But the plug was pulled on me She’s got this way of speaking that’s just mesmerizing And she’s got this way of thinking that’s absolutely beautiful She explains things to me in a way I understand It’s not condescending or patronizing It’s just like “Oh, you don’t know what the word ‘romanticize’ really means? I thought it meant being romantic, so I thought it was a good thing So, hey, love, it’s me I guess things didn’t turn out the way we thought they’d be When we were eighteen But how could we have known We were just kids who hadn’t given up yet Given up like we gave us up When did our common friends Become your friends exclusively I must have missed the memo I’ve been trying to reach you And I tried my best not to cut the cord But the plug was pulled on me It sounds ridiculous Hearing myself saying these things out loud I hope you get this message and I hope you remember me Remember me for who I used to be

I don’t know if I am dying Or if I’m just really tired All I know is I don’t care enough to sleep We’ve had our share of cigarettes The smoke still lingers on your breath Been waiting for everyone else to leave Warm and soft in the dark Whisper stories of our broken hearts The smiles that we pretend are not a ruse How many times have we Played house and make-believe I swear I wish I could’ve made it true But hey I know what you would say And I am sorry for the way it played out You couldn’t wait to move on And I couldn’t follow along I guess I’ve always been a bit slow You said save me from getting older From the prison I have on my shoulders I think I finally understand What it means to be 19 And fuck and fight Until it’s time to face the songs So, save me from getting older From the war raging upon my shoulders I think I finally understand What it means We’re not 19 But I still find myself looking for who I used to be

First of Spring 06:00
lyrics

I woke up first on the first of spring How long we slept, I can’t remember But it felt like a good thing To finally close our eyes And just wait for the morning To finally close these eyes I thought, maybe it will all blow over By the time we wake Maybe things will work out this time around Another 9-5 will surely fix us up Take a breath, let’s breathe Just for a minute Another year, my love The morning came The morning came, we stayed in bed I watched your hair fall over your eyelids Wishing I could read the walls inside your head You said, so what are you thinking? I can tell that there’s something in there So, what do we do? I don’t know, all I can think of Is the summer of strawberry ciders and Absolut If I could pinpoint And I was good for you then The moment it went out of hand I could’ve taken yours And you were in love with me and an American man And I remember that night in your car I remember every word you said It didn’t hit me as hard as it would do come the morning I know that you’re trying your best And you know I love you to death But something’s missing man, this life is getting boring I’m running with your story (I bookmarked the end it’s by the bed) You’re so good at putting it in lines (Slowing things down won’t get us out of it) Shift position (Everything’s changing I think we’re waking up) Everything’s changing now We toss in the sheets but the blank, white, pages are running out Blurry vision (I know you’re tired, the quarrels and over time) I can’t see past these endless nights (I promised to get better but I’m still terrified) I promise, without the traffic I’d be home in time We could be getting older We could’ve had a good life I never planned to marry But I would have been your wife We’d be like All those happy people I see inside of my head And all those selfish little people on the outside of my head I never planned to marry No one to bury When we all end up dead You thought I’d quit the dramatics But baby You should know me better than that I woke up first on the first of spring I can’t put this behind me, I’m still hoping I’ll find you I woke up first on the first of spring My memory’s bleeding, you know I still need you How long we slept I can’t remember Tell me there’s good in me somewhere I woke up first on the first of spring

Last October 04:33

We were on the phone I was in my car I always take it too far I know I’ve gone too far again And everything’s changed since when We were kids in scrubs Running through the halls Of the self-help hotel hospital We were kids in the prime of youth Too young for the Bitter taste of beer and vermouth Getting better meant getting away I’m on the fence but I think we should have Stayed there on the east coast Last October The east coast Last October You said wanted the truth I let you have it all I’ve never felt too honest But you are a crystal baller Looking right through me You must’ve seen something No one else could see Something buried deep beneath my skin Behind the lies I tell my mirror I’m tuning out but I still hear them Going I’m on a roll Please don’t come back I don’t need you I can manage on my own I can manage I can manage Let’s climb into a taxi Sleep inside the backseat Tell me all about you again I want more than “How you’ve been?” I want more All the while we were talking I felt close to cracking up I know what moving on means But it’s hard to tell from giving up I’d put everything back in place You would make it picture perfect So, when you look me in the face We could pretend it’s all been worth it It’s all been Good I’m on a roll Please don’t come back I don’t need you I can manage on my own I can manage I can manage Let’s climb into a taxi Sleep inside the backseat Tell me all about you again I want more than “How you’ve been?” I want more I want Your silhouette against the kitchen doorway While I’m already half asleep Take off your clothes, lay down beside me I wanna feel like I can finally breathe Drive out to the highlands where we used to live Where there was nobody else around Take a few pictures with your polaroid And wake up to your forget-me-not-eyes You said, forget me not
