[c]:
when our hearts our hearts grow cold
you know i'm checking for the weather
for signs of cloudy and storm
but we were always warm together
[sick intro riff]
i've been leaving behind all of our innocence
feeling betrayed by all our days since
i felt at home inside my skin
we drifted; you called it quits but i still lived it
like clouds apart on ocean currents
i'm still the tide i'm still goodbye
these days the time flies faster than i want to
but i swear my clock lies more to me than you do
[mic drop]
[c]
and if i ever lose track
i'll find a lie and say that i'm trying
'cause seasons never roll back
and winter knows that we were dying
[dat riff doe]
spring came faster than i'd care to admit
things changed but i still found where summer kept
our names - on leaves and evergreens
pretending that fall could tear us all away
but you let me know and you kept me sane
through all the nights alone missing the rain
[c]
seasons never roll back...
and spring knows what we were fighting
and summer knows what we were hiding
and autumn knows that we were trying
and winter knows that we were dying

and i know it's not the time
i'm losing track of time zones
we're killing more than time though
and i will count all of the days
hold my breath and wait
'cause i don't need it anyway
[c]:
i'll get you, i swear i will
hope for all the best
you're the target on my chest
you're the break in all the bends
but i don't mind at all
so keep with the facade
and hope i don't get caught
i'll leave the door open
to shoot the breeze or let you in
[c]
love -
she'll kill you quicker than secondhand smoke
she'll wrap her arms around you and watch as you choke
and i'll stop pretending i know so damn much about love
it's just a thought worth giving up
but it was still you who i thought of

oh these padded cell walls
they're closing in quick
the way i'm running down these halls
the air is making me sick
i swore i'd take the first flight down
bury you deep beneath the ground
with all our copper colored roots
will you still haunt me when i drown?
i'll take the breath from your lungs
i'll keep your name off my tongue
i'll consider myself lucky, i'll consider us on...
[c]:
on a wire, i can't wait for you to fall
on my mind, i don't need you anymore
[sweet riff]
i swore i'd leave it all behind
i said to hell with all the hindsight
i'll pull my eyes from your skin
i'll ask 'em where the hell they've been
"just looking for the right direction"
till then we're...
[c]
best for last, save you from your own downpour
on my mind, on my mind
step back and let me breathe
you wanted everything but me
you said everything would be alright
step back and let me see
you were everything to me
you swore everything would be just fine
you said you'd never forget me

Heroes
03:43

this is a ballad for the unsung hero
this is a line for all we lost when we forgot him
this is a song about love
this is a song about war
we may have lost the time, now i can't seem to find
his face here anymore
take one last shot, they're always at you
whether you're fine or not, just know i'll catch you
you always put up with our bullshit silence
it's just that you i wish, they saw like i did
so, fix our friendships and help us feel better about
how our girlfriends left us, and keep us together
it's not the words that kept us, but the hope you'd pull through
misplaced your hope when you left us, i always wish we told you
so keep your head down
the clouds are fleeting at best
you're never alone now
just wish you knew
are you careful yet? and does it still bother you
you let us forget the daylight inside of you
signed to you again, these words we all knew
i hope you need us someday, because we need you too
you said you'd be right back, well what the hell took you?
if it were up to us, we'd never need to look for you
but you know that's not the way that things worked out
you're always leaving, you said you need some silence
but now you're hardly breathing, choking that laughter i miss
just know we need you back, kid
i'm sorry it came to this
i never gave up on you
i'd never give up on you
i'll never give up on you

sweating the day away
in this filthy room with a broken fan
and i'm wondering
where the hell do i get off
writing songs about anything?
an emotional vacuum
i'm a faceless statue
on a checkered, boring plain
forget what i used to say, i wasn't changing anything
a cheap imitation of real entertainment
i was gutting prose and doing lines of paper
just tell me you weren't doing the same
[c]:
i'm all out of solutions, but "let's just get through this"
this valley's a hole
shaped from shallow, ungrateful
and it sure as hell ain't made of gold
but right now it's home
and god knows i can't make it anywhere else on my own
sweating the night away
in this empty parking lot outside of the circle k
talking shit so we could forget
the pointless scenery
of broken roads and construction
broken heads and counter-production
and all these kids living the same
[c]
you put the "art" in artificial
and smother charming with your pretense
but your cancerous tan and unfaithful man
will kill you half as fast as ignorance
so lie yourself to bed
and burn this song so you'll forget it
'cause when i said this town needs more than hope
i hope you know i really meant it

i've got our picture burning holes in my phone
kept you quiet and close
but i've been dying to go (oh, oh)
i'm piling pages with unadmirable lines
have i been crossing your mind?
or am i wasting my time?
[catchy riff]
i came up empty writing songs for your eyes
a choking hazard of mine -
my words will leave me to die
your hair's a scent that i've got trapped in my lungs
i'll miss your voice like the sun
misses the day when it's done
[c]:
so...
why don't, why don't you know?
without your skin, i'm just bones
and i'll take, i'll take it slow
i'll take, i'll take it slow
your breath arrests me like a steel pair of cuffs
driving a stake through my gut
where my heart had already sunk
i'll lie in silence faking patience again
i wish we'd try to begin
we're so in love with the ends
[pop punk time]
i'm face to face with my doubts
vices i can't figure out
make it a point to stay still
uncalmly waiting until
you're dancing back in my arms
just where i need you to be
i'll pull you close to my heart
i'll give it everything
[c]
[more poppy punky time]
and all these bottles i've sipped
can't match the taste of your lips
my hands stay cold in these pockets
still miss their place on your hips
i've got a lot left unsaid
some things i more than just meant
i'm lame as shit and i'm spent
but i'm missing you to death
so...
why don't, why don't you know?

Liquid Courage

today i met a stranger, i kept to myself
shed all of my problems
i swore on the rain that i would do it today
a forecast to follow
saw it in the distance, a light in the glass
a glimmer too hollow
unearthed by a sentiment, interred in the past
a tough pill to swallow
scarred arms and hangmen, flush with his eyes
combust like a siren
clutched my apology, and cuffed at the sides
he left me in silence
i said, "please don't miss me"
he asked for a minute, i gave him my word
i'd none left to give him
he finished his drinking, and gave me his word
"believe in believing"
i said, "give me the courage to wash the red
down to the bottom.
and maybe in my head i'll learn to forget
like empty bottles and silhouettes"
and he said, "please don't go"
then he got up out of his seat. he wore his heart on his sleeve. he told me everything was exactly how it needed to be. he promised me things get better, said i need to believe, that i'm far too young, "there's still so much more to see." he said i deserve to be happy, that everyone deserves to be happy, that i needed to breathe, that i should finish my drink, and that i need to believe:
all the red in the world couldn't change the color of the sea
he told me to think of the people i love
and the people who love me

[c]:
i hope it's cold where you are
where hearts of gold are not too far
and every autumn wakes you up inside its arms
you're the haphazard flow of blood from within my veins
i'm the chill in the air that suffocates without your name
you're a chorus of light on a comatose skyline
i'm the loss of metaphors for five state lines
and i hope you remember
what we couldn't figure out
my obvious insignificance
and morose case of listlessness don't count
[c]
i hope it's cold in your bed
like empty pillows beside my head
remember us, when you were never second best?

Portland
06:06
|

|
the gravity pulled me in
just where your eyes begin
and where the guilt sets in
and maybe i'll lose you by the summer
maybe we're just counting cards
until the deck is empty
and your heart says to bet against me
maybe i'll fold in time to wonder
so hold your words and i'll hold my breath
like keepsakes of our untimeliness
your honesty and my one regret
portland
we're further than the distance makes us
holding on too late
just buying time to waste it
believe me when i say i'm going nowhere
frozen like these dead end streets
and opportunities
i lacked the eyes to see
i left us in a broken hall of memory
[c]:
so hold your words and i'll hold my breath
like keepsakes of our untimeliness
your honesty and my one regret
the cloudy skies that never rain
the heart i knew you'd never break
the way i knew you felt the same
[TURN UP]
i left the door unlocked
i waited on and on and on
i hoped you'd be there, why won't you be there?
i left the shore to watch
the sun leaving your eyes
will you still be there? i need you to be there
[c]
portlaaaaaaaaaaand
and maybe i'll lose you by the summer
