Who would I be to walk away When it was my fault in the first place for not saying anything I just kept these feelings locked away But I'll keep these feelings anyway I wouldn't mind watching dark turn to light Every night in the backyard with you I wouldn't mind watching reflections of the sunrise in your eyes Every night in the backyard Who would you be to let me go Not saying I'm much, but I think that you know You're in my head You've got me right where you want me Pull the trigger, and take me home I wouldn't mind watching dark turn to light Every night in the backyard with you I wouldn't mind watching reflections of the sunrise in your eyes Every night in the backyard I wouldn't mind watching dark turn to light Every night in the backyard with you I wouldn't mind watching reflections of the sunrise in your eyes Every night in the backyard And I wouldn't mind And I wouldn't mind And I wouldn't mind And I wouldn't mind

I Think You're Far Too Good For Me 04:06

I've been so mixed up with what I want They said it happens with the age I wasn't concerned with finding someone But you're changing the state What's been going on in my head has gotten better since we met Now I think that it's all in my head that there's a reason we met I think you're far too good for me That's something that's been stuck inside my head I think you're far too good for me So I get the distance that you've kept I think you're far too good for me That's something that will never leave my head I think you're far too good for me and I can't do that again I put my empty glass on an old wooden bar and I walked you home And we moved towards the towards the door as they rang last call And played one of my favorite songs And I sang it the whole way home after I said goodnight I sang it out loud walking home Got some looks, but it's alright Yeah, it's alright I think you're far too good for me That's something that's been stuck inside my head I think you're far too good for me So I get the distance that you've kept I think you're far too good for me That's something that will never leave my head I think you're far too good for me and I can't do that again What's the point of it anyway? What's the point of it anyway? What's the point of it anyway? (Well, I'm not sure. No, I'm not) What's the point of it anyway? (Well, I'm not sure. No, I'm not) What's the point of it anyway? (Well, I'm not sure. No, I'm not) What's the point of it anyway? Well I'm not sure, but I think that it might be worth trying

It turns to bliss every time I'm with you I can breathe again, so take me in I'll try to pretend your not my oxygen I can't sleep. I've been tossing and turning Since the day that you walked in, but I know that it's all for the best and I don't care what anyone tells me Not like I ever did, but you're the answer to the questions I've been asking I'll take this leap of faith and I'll take this all to my grave cause I still believe that there's a reason we met So come on Margo Let's fuck up this town together I think it's time we show these people what we're made of and once we burn the whole thing to the ground, I'll keep you safe and sound and I'll stick around this time I swear I'll stick around You locked me in I watched your eyes like the dashboard driving off in the middle of the night I hear the sirens grow silent I feel the heartbeat in my chest faster I'm gasping for my breath you took away and we'll take this leap of faith and we'll take this all to our graves cause I still believe that there's a reason we met So come on Margo Let's fuck up this town together I think it's time we show these people what we're made of and once we burn the whole thing to the ground, I'll keep you safe and sound and I'll stick around this time I swear I'll stick around I'll pour the gasoline if you strike the match and we won't look back We'll never look back I'll pour the gasoline if you strike the match and we won't look back We'll never look back

lyrics

The world breaks everyone That's what Hemingway taught me when I was young, I never thought, it'd mean that much to you, the things we learned in school They stuck with kids like me & you, In all the times that we've been through, It's like there's nothing we can't do And I will keep on taking all my chances We're just two dumb kids who Like reading American Fiction And hearing songs that make us feel invincible No we don't need much but good conversation That constantly keeps us awake Just as long as we're both here and listening Are you listening? If we are what we pretend to be, as Vonnegut suggests, I guess I'm just as cool as I am in my head I'll stay as close to the edge as I can Will you keep me from going over it if you can? Cause I'm over getting older, The summer is short, and the winters get colder And I wouldn't mind spending my whole life on a couch next to you We're just two dumb kids who Like reading American Fiction And hearing songs that make us feel invincible No we don't need much but good conversation That constantly keeps us awake Just as long as we're both here and listening Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? We're just two dumb kids who Like reading American Fiction And hearing songs that make us feel invincible No we don't need much but good conversation That constantly keeps us awake Just as long as we're both here and listening Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening?

Treason 02:31
lyrics

I can't breathe, I feel sick I can't hold the weight of all of this I want to smash the glass between my mirror's frame My brother thinks I'm not a man Cause I have anxiety attacks When I'm stressed, and he handles stress better than me My Dad thinks I'm a fucking burnout Cause I smoke too much pot But it calms me down when I'm freaking out, And I freak out a lot My Mom thinks I'm too hard on myself, And yeah she's prolly right But with the pedestal they've put me on, It's hard to sleep at night And they think I'm too opinionated And I should keep it to myself But I should fix their shit whenever it breaks Then return to my cell So when your voice is all you've got You'll fucking use it And my breaking point is close, so I'll get moving Mr. president, I hate your guts You'll never save any of us The ship is sinking, and you're just dropping anchors And all my friends are scared to death You'll take and you'll take til there's nothing left But at least we know that we'll still have each other Or at least we hope And if this is treason, they'll take me away I'll be waterboarded and tortured til they fry my brain And I'll spend my life in a mental institution But I probably would have ended up there anyway And if this is treason, they'll take me away I'll be waterboarded and tortured til they fry my fucking brain And I'll spend my life in a mental institution But I probably would have ended up there anyway

Your approval, it was all I could hope for Time was crucial, I wasted the best of my days for you Adolescents, I tried to find myself, but I found me alone in my room Body present, but mindlessly amused How great it'd feel to be me, Instead of everything I pretended to be when I was seventeen I kept my heart on my sleeve, Just to remind myself it was beating And someone could love me But it'd never be me I've got that feeling again when my heart drops from my chest And into my stomach, and my breath falls short I'm the black sheep, and I'll always be I give in, no I won't let this kill me Cause the best part of being alone Is that no one can tell me what I'm doing wrong Now I can finally sleep, I stopped living for the people in my life, I started living for me Now I can finally breathe From time to time it seems like I can handle anything that you throw at me But I'm not a perfect person, And I'll never be I've got that feeling again when my heart drops from my chest And into my stomach, and my breath falls short I'm the black sheep, and I'll always be I give in, no I won't let this kill me Cause the best part of being alone Is that no one can tell me what I'm doing wrong This is for all of my friends, Who let me be me, when I wanted to be, And always will til this ends, So I won't this kill me I'm the black sheep, and I'll always be I give in, no I won't let this kill me Cause the best part of being alone Is that no one can tell me what I'm doing wrong and this is for all of my friends, Who let me be me, when I wanted to be, And they always will til it ends, So I won't this kill me
