I remember thinking how this medicine would be the thing that would save you
and now i’m finding out it’s never bringing back the person i once knew
so will you look inside and see the life they’ve buried deep in your conscience
and learn they couldn’t hide the will to be the everything for yourself that you’ve been to me
you won’t cut deep enough to scar the person you are
and who you are is more than voices in your head are drowning out
and here you are again, the same existence flawed by what you could not be
and i have never been so terrified of losing someone i love to their own disease
but i can’t be the one who can save you from yourself
don’t you break your heart, i don’t want to see you grind your pulse to a halt
you can’t come this far just to never know if this was ever your fault, because it never was
you won’t cut deep enough to scar the person you are
and who you are is more than voices in your head are drowning out

I'm getting good at saying goodbye
But I've always been better at believing
That you're better off
Wherever you go, go with all your heart
Worn out and broken in like hand me downs
And every memory is like a skipping stone
You'll never understand how long it took the tides
To bring them back to us
I'm getting good at saying goodbye
Saying goodbye
Wherever you go, go with all your heart
Worn out and broken in like hand me downs
Every memory is like a skipping stone
You'll never understand how long it took the tides
To bring them back to us
And we grow into those sadder songs
And leave our love behind in every single line
Maybe that's the only place it can really live
But you could never understand
You don't care, you don't care
You would never understand
You don't care, you don't care
Wherever you go, wherever you go
Wherever you go
Every memory is like a skipping stone
You'll never understand how long it took the tides
To bring them back to us
And we grow into those sadder songs
And leave our love behind in every single line
I'm getting good at saying goodbye
Saying goodbye.

It’s all the same
I’d say you’re losing me again
If truth be told, I blame the monsters in your head
You’ll blame me when you turn off the lights
And try to say that you can’t sleep
And it goes to show
How you make your way into my dreams again
And the less we know
Yeah the more we break right apart
So we’ll raise the stakes and show them
That we’re different (Oh...)
Yeah, we're different (Oh...)
It’s all the same, I've seen this way too many times
I’d leave you in the dark, it comes as no surprise
But thats if I wanted to
And we both know that I’m not over you
And I know I don’t say it but I love you too
And it’s starting to make sense, sense
I thought I told you once
We’ve got it all mapped out and I’m gonna be the better man
And that’s a start to this
I thought I told you once
We’ve got it all mapped out and I’m gonna be a better man
And though it’s been said, it’s finally starting to make sense

It was something I'd never seen
Sitting reading year old magazines
In a house with you
You love to laugh and tell me dreams
Of who you are who you want to be
And I had no clue
But I'm thinking if the world does end
You'll talk to me, I'll be your ear to lend
Cause you were mine when I called you at 4 am
I'm saying I wonder what it's like when we're both dead
I always need to keep a level head
I always think about where we'll be
In 20 years and if you'll marry me
I had no clue
Wen you were drunk you told me dreams
Of who you are and who you want to be
And I had no clue
That hole in heaven was a void that filled you
But if the world does end
You'll talk to me, I'll be your ear to lend
Cause you were mine when I called you at 4 am
I'm saying I wonder what it's like when we're both dead
I always need to keep a level head
Oh out of everyone I've known
I should've not left you alone
Oh out of everyone I've known
Oh out of everyone I've known
Dear god here it goes
Oh out of everyone I've known

When I met you we were young
And like gasoline to matches
Waking up drunk
Sleeping through your early classes
I grew up and grew dull
And you say you wished I hadn't
Well I'm drunk again
And you're guilty like you're Irish catholic
You ain't no saint
I ain't one either
Guess that's why I'm lying here
Cause I know
That I'm banged up
I got bruises I can't place
Oh I've been coughing out blood
And I know
That I'm banged up
I got bruises I can't place
Oh I've been coughing out blood
I've got a gut full of ulcers
They're gonna burn out like dead stars
Turn to dust
If you're coming here alone
Then there's nowhere else to go
So when I walk in man they know I'm alone
Dig your anchors in my bones
Keep your breathing soft and slow
It's freezing, I made a blanket from my coat
You ain't no saint
I ain't one either
Guess that's why I'm lying here
Well I know
That I'm banged up
I got bruises I can't place
Oh I've been coughing out blood
And I know
That I'm banged up
I got bruises I can't place
Oh I've been coughing out blood
I've got a gut full of ulcers
They're gonna burn out like dead stars
It gets freezing here after dark
So I'm searching the car for my dad's old
Bills hat, passed down in 93,
It never got far from me,
He moved to the island from upstate
And he'd spend Sunday
Watching the game with me
Explaining everything,
We'd watch Jim Kelly lead the way
And if my dad was here I wonder what he'd say
If my dad was here I wonder if he'd even recognize me
I'm fucking begging
I'm fucking begging
Cause I know
That I'm banged up
I got bruises I can't place
Oh I've been coughing out blood
And I know
That I'm banged up
I got bruises I can't place
Oh I've been coughing out blood

I saw that mountain burn, or was it in my head?
I'll track down the words, if you dig up the dead.
Well I have never been free, but I have always been cheap.
I have never been free.
But nothing in my bones can say just where you've been.
Nothing in my bones can let me start again.
I'll start again.
My eyelids falling down, all my dreams in black and white.
I see so clearly now I won't ever get it right.
But I don't wanna be free. I don't wanna be me.
I don't wanna be free.
You want me scream at your ex-girlfriend.
But I wanna be much better than I am.
You want me scream at your ex-boyfriend.
But I wanna be, and I don't think I can.
Nothing in my bones can say just where you've been.
Nothing in my bones can let me start again.
I'll start again.
I'll start again.
I'll start again.

I've been counting ways that I could justify
the choices I've made that led us here today.
And I've been counting on you to do the same thing,
but I set my expectations far too high, like always.
And it's funny how we make ourselves believe
that this is happiness; we're trapped inside our minds
and in your basement on separate ends of a couch.
I'm trying so hard, And that's the problem.
I can't shake this feeling from my bones
that you're just the girl who's too scared to let this go,
and I'm just the boy who, no matter what,
can't seem to stay content for more than an hour or so.
I would spend a lifetime searching for the words to say,
if it meant that this feeling in my gut would go away.
I'm sick of wishing that I could have a change of heart,
and running away just to crawl back to the start.
I can't shake this feeling from my bones,
that you're just the girl who's too scared to let this go, and I'm
I'm just the boy who, no matter what, no matter fucking what,
can't seem to stay content.
I guess I'm better off alone.
And in the end, it doesn't even matter who you are,
it just matters who I'm not.

Just when I think I need someone,
They wrap their arms around my old bones
And I start breaking apart
I walk away from anyone that cares about me
But I swear my skin's not as rough as I make it out to be
The saddest part is I've been distant since I was sixteen
It keeps me up in bed
I'm stuck here with all the choices I've made
And the chances I was too afraid to take
I've called myself young and stupid,
But lately I feel old and desperate
I find it kind of weird how you find yourself
When you have no one
I look for the right things in all the wrong places
The saddest part is I've been distant since I was sixteen
It keeps me up in bed
I'm stuck here with all the choices I've made
And the chances I was too afraid to take

Do you ever feel like somethings in your way?
When the truth comes out, it's just too hard to get past.
It's just way to hard to deal with anyway.
I can't help but sit alone with nothing to talk about.
But would you even listen?
Could you even make it out?
And every night it keeps me up
Do you ever sing?
Do you ever think for yourself?
Are you catching up with all the things that you've missed?
It looks as if you're careless.
Were you sick of staying in your room?
Were you tired of waiting for something to hold onto?
I know you too well.
It's too hard to sleep.
It's too hard to think of what's next.
It's too hard to think it's hopeless.
But I already know it.

Hope you're having fun away at college
Since you went there to run from all your fuck ups
You're not so good at getting away from all of the karma
That lies between your tongue and cheek
It's gotten to the point that you're the spitting image of
Everything I never want to be
I gave you chance after chance
And it's obvious you haven't tried at all
By now it's safe to say that I'll be
Erasing every trace you left in these lines
I'm sorry for breaking down when I should have been
Stitching myself back up
You left me on the fence with nowhere to jump,
Since you always knew that my balance was
As shitty as my judgement
I had a feeling I'd be lying in the grass
Left for dead
Now I'm stuck looking at that fence
I gave you chance after chance
And it's obvious you haven't tried at all
By now it's safe to say that I'll be
Erasing every trace you left in these lines
I'm sorry for breaking down when I should have been
Stitching myself back up
You've become
The spitting image of everything I never want to be
You're everything I never wanna be

I’ll paint you a picture with words,
“I miss her.”
We still talk like everyday
But we don’t talk in the same way that we used to
I’ll move on and forget you
We could never see eye to eye
But either way.
I like her ‘cause she’s smart, headstrong and independent,
She puts me in my place, but I don’t know where I stand,
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I’ll never forget her
And she’ll always have a part of me.
Don’t let me go down this road again
We both know where this ends
In a storm of feeling, I’m so unappealing
I can’t play these games
I like her ‘cause she’s smart, headstrong and independent,
She puts me in my place, but I don’t know where I stand,
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I’ll never forget her
And she’ll always have a part of me.
I like her ‘cause she’s smart, headstrong and independent,
She puts me in my place, but I don’t know where I stand,
And if only I could find the words, or muster up the nerve to tell her
I’ll never forget her
And she’ll always have a part of me.
She'll always have a part of me.
I was falling for a girl who would ask me to come over
Just for a day, when her parents were away,
Now all I can do is lay in my room,
Fall asleep, dream of you,
Then wake up and do nothing about it
I fell for a boy who could never ever let me walk home that way,
‘Cause you gotta be safe,
So hold back your views,
We’re both leaving soon,
I can’t fall back on you,
‘Cause that’s not what I do.
She hates it when I shout these words,
But I’ll still sing for you.

This may never start.
We could fall apart.
And I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings insincere.
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never start.
I'll tear us apart.
Can I be your enemy?
Losing half a year.
Waiting for you here
I'd be your anything.
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never start.
Tearing out my heart.
I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
(I'd be your memory)
Feelings disappeared.
Can I be your memory?
So get back, back, back to where we lasted.
Just like I imagine.
I could never feel this way.
So get back, back, back to the disaster.
My heart's beating faster.
Holding on to feel the same.
This may never start.
We could fall apart
And I'd be your memory.
Lost your sense of fear.
Feelings insincere.
Can I be your memory?
Can I be your memory?

I bet it hurts to read permanence
I used to think on all of this
And how you don't
Damn its hard to find
Sustenance when all I had
Was love for this
And now you don't
Now I just abuse
Substances to drown out your accomplishments however few
All of this frustrates me bad cause I can't stay mad at you or change anything that I had she told me don't think like that its really not that bad
I hope this makes you sad
If its something serious
then hit me up
But until then the door is shut
Forget my room
And if I had a match for every lie
And every attempt to deny
I'd strike a few
I am the walls the silent halls
My jacket at your sister's wedding

You used to make me feel like I could walk on water
Now most nights I'm just sinking down and down
You're the reason why I can't listen to the same songs I used to
I write songs about you all the time
I bet I don't run through your mind
I've given up on you,
But it still hurts to know you're not alone
Don't worry,
I'll keep out of your life and stay awake at night
It's 4a.m. and you're keeping me from closing these sleepy eyes
Does the thought of me keep you up at night?
Like the light on the ceiling of your bedroom
Lately, my dog's the only one around that listens to my problems
It's been a lonely year
I write songs about you all the time
I bet I don't run through your mind
I've given up on you,
But it still hurts to know you're not alone
Don't worry,
I'll keep out of your life and stay awake at night
With just my skin and bones
It hurts to know you're not alone
I've given up on you, and my skin, and my bones

Sleepless nights are new to me
All these thoughts are killing me
Someone come and put me at ease
All of my anxiety
There’s no cause that I can see
What’s this scratching at my brain?
And I can’t stop even if I wanted to
Up top, maybe I’m simply deluded
That’s right, maybe I’ve been wasting my time
All my time
And it’s hard to justify what you can do
I’m so sick and tired of falling through and
It’s true, maybe I’ve been wasting my time
All this time, yeah
I come creeping, no one can hear you now
Listen, so you can show me how
Something that I’m missing here
Softly stop my evil dreams
Faster, help me fall asleep
No one knows that’s how it goes
All the thoughts that we transpose
From time to time
We fall in line
But now it seems that we are blind
No one knows that’s how it goes
All the thoughts that we transpose

And if I could swim
I'd swim out to you in the ocean,
Swim out to where you were floating
in the dark.
And if was blessed
I walk on the water you're breathing,
To lend you some air for that heaving
Sunken chest.
'Cause they chose you
As the model
For their empty little dreams.
With your new head
And your legs spread
Like a filthy magazine.
And they hunt you
And they gut you
And you give in.
And if I was brave
I'd climb up to you on the mountain.
They led you to drink from their fountain
Spouting lies.
And I'd slay
The horrible beast they commissioned
To steer me away from my mission
To your eyes,
And I'd stand there
Like a soldier
With my foot upon his chest.
With my grin spread
And my arms out
In my bloodstained Sunday's best,
And you'd hold me
I'd remind you
Who you are...
Under their shell..
I'd walk through hell for you.
Let it burn right through my shoes.
These soles are useless without you.
Through hell for you
Let the torturing ensue.
My soul is useless without you
And if they sent a whirlwind,
I'd hug it like a harmless little tree.
Or an earthquake,
I'd calm it,
And I'd bring you back to me,
And I'd hold you
In my weak arms like a first born.
I'd walk through hell for you.
Let it burn right through my shoes.
These soles are useless without you.
Through hell for you
Let the torturing ensue.
My soul is useless without you (through hell for you)
(through hell for you) without you
Without you (through hell for you)
Without you (through hell for you)
Now, I've walked through hell for you,
What's an adventurer to do
But rest these feet at home with you

Midnight on a beach on the Mediterranean
and I miss you,
even here taking it all in.
The sand, silvered, carries the moon
on its shoulders.
Is it possible to put this night to tune
and move it to you?
Don't cry, I'll bring this home to you
if I can make this night light enough to move.
Cargo ships move by
tracing on the horizon line.
There's a luster from the city lights
on the waves that kiss our feet
and we're thinking of going in,
the time's getting thin.
This is a city for not sleeping
and the clocks are set by feel.
At this moment from where I sit,
none of it seems real.
