Stay in One Place Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So much for bad luck
If I built a boat with apologies I've got
I'd have a sorry looking raft
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It always rains
But it's nice to see
That someone else is sad
[Chorus]
I'm tired, oh I'm tired of being a scapegoat
For your bad days
Or when it rains
Cause lately I've been hoping that my mind finds an anchor
So I can stay in one place
[Verse 2]
The coin's face up
But I'm not feeling any better
A soapbox made for every single fuck up
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's tough seeing where I am
Instead of where I'm from
My roots can get loose
[Chorus]
I'm tired, oh I'm tired of being a scapegoat
For your bad days
Or when it rains
Cause lately I've been hoping that my mind finds an anchor
So I can stay in one place
[Bridge]
Can you find your calling if nothing is calling for you?
I'm coughing up a lung trying to get rid of you
To get rid of you
To get rid of you
Can you find your calling
If nothing's calling for you?
For you?
[Chorus]
I'm tired, oh I'm tired of being a scapegoat
For your bad days
Or when it rains
Cause lately I've been hoping that my mind finds an anchor
So I can stay in one place
Empty Picture Frames Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm getting pretty good at leaving
My patience isn't wearing thin
Autumn never ends in my head
No matter how far I've been
It feels like everybody is the branch
And I'm the leaves falling from the top
Of every leafless tree
[Chorus]
The home inside my head has a bed for me
That no one will ever get the chance to see
A kitchen table with one chair
Walls with empty picture frames
No one will ever see
No one will ever see
[Verse 2]
All I see is the past two years before I hit the ground
Time is moving slower on the way down
Save your time spent wondering what's going through my mind
Let me go before you see me following behind
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll save you from myself
Just let me go
I'll save you from myself
[Chorus]
The home inside my head has a bed for me
That no one will ever get the chance to see
A kitchen table with one chair
Walls with empty picture frames
No one will ever see
No one will ever see
[Bridge]
I've learned that it's okay to be selfish
It keeps me from falling apart at the seams
Stuck is where I feel in place
A feeling I'll embrace
[Chorus]
The home inside my head has a bed for me
That no one will ever get the chance to see
A kitchen table with one chair
Walls with empty picture frames
No one will ever see
No one will ever see
Keep Lying to Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Could you stay here 'til I fall asleep?
We'll pretend that we could make each other feel complete
I'm looking for something that's not inside of you
Will you think of me when you drive home?
[Pre-Chorus]
I think I'm better off when I'm alone
[Chorus]
Let's keep lying next to each other
While we lie to ourselves
We say that this feels right
Our hipbones touch
And I know we're disconnected
[Verse 2]
Last night I closed my eyes
And thought about someone that wasn't you
The weight of the world slipped off my shoulders
And weighed my back to the floor
It isn't where you want to be
I know this isn't where you want to be
[Pre-Chorus]
I think I'm better off when I'm alone
[Chorus]
Let's keep lying next to each other
While we lie to ourselves
We say that this feels right
Our hipbones touch
And I know we're disconnected
[Bridge]
You tell me I'm broken
As I stare out my window at the street lights
I walk outside and I sit in the shade at 3am
And I feel whole again
[Chorus]
Let's keep lying next to each other
While we lie to ourselves
We say that this feels right
Our hipbones touch
And I know we're disconnected
And I know we're disconnected
Scared to Be Alone Lyrics
[Intro]
I care too much
While you don't even care at all
It's just sad that you don't even care
[Verse 1]
I walk up the stairs to your apartment and I feel small
The lowest feelings and even lower standards
Pictures of simple times are on the top shelf
You lie to me and say you're happy with the way things are
With the way things are
[Pre-Chorus]
It's just sad, oh it's sad that you don't even care at all
[Chorus]
I want to carry you but I'll just keep worrying about you
Don't settle because you're scared of being alone
You know I always pictured things to be different for you
[Verse 2]
I spent so much damn time trying to move forward
It hurts me to watch you falling backwards
Brave your life
Finding solutions, not making excuses
Find solutions and stop waiting for excuses
[Chorus]
I want to carry you but I'll just keep worrying about you
Don't settle because you're scared of being alone
You know I always pictured things to be different for you
[Bridge]
I care too much, while you don't even care at all
A bit much while you don't even care at all
It's too much while you don't even care at all
It's too much while you don't even care at all
[Chorus]
I want to carry you but I'll just keep worrying about you
Don't settle because you're scared of being alone
You know I always pictured things to be different
Don't settle because you're scared
You know I pictured things to be different
I pictured things to be different for you
For you
Mokena Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Staring out the window in my bedroom makes me think back
I see me as a boy out there
Lying in the grass
Singing songs with all the wrong notes
And graduating high school as my mom cries
I'm writing the same song over and over again
And feeling lost
I've always felt so lost
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm fucking up and getting over it
I'm over it
I'm fucking up and getting over it
I'm over it
I'm over it
[Chorus]
I used to get half way home and give up on getting there
I'll stumble over my own feet
Thinking about everyone and everything that got past me
[Verse 2]
I clenched the wheel the whole way home from Cleveland
With nothing more than my eyes half way open
And my hand smelling like smoke
Each mile I drive gets me closer to the streets that made me feel alone
I'm out of place and it doesn't feel wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm fucking up and getting over it
I'm over it
I'm fucking up and getting over it
I'm over it
I'm over it
[Chorus]
I used to get half way home and give up on getting there
I'll stumble over my own feet
Thinking about everyone and everything that got past me
[Outro]
I'll stumble over my own feet
Thinking about everyone and everything that got past me
Mess Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The patience I once had
Is running away with my youth
Away in it's hand
I've been neglecting who I am
That's just who I was back then
Don't need to be perfect
Just happy
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still a lost boy
I'm still a lost boy
[Chorus]
Last year, I was a train wreck
Now I'm just a mess
I'm letting go so I don't lose myself
[Verse 2]
Every once in a while
I listen to Death Cab and think
About how it used to be
We thought that we knew the answers
But no one was asking
Asking the questions
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm still a lost boy
I'm still a lost boy
[Chorus]
Last year, I was a train wreck
Now I'm just a mess
I'm letting go so I don't lose myself
I'm starting to be where I need to be
I'm starting to be where I need to be
[Bridge]
It feels like I've been taking the long way
For a while now
Haven't been at home in more years
Than I care to say
I keep letting my past carve out
What the present shouldn't be
What I shouldn't be
[Chorus]
Last year, I was a train wreck
Now I'm just a mess
I'm letting go so I don't lose myself
I'm starting to be where I need to be
I'm starting to be where I need to be
Isolating Everything Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We rush through our lives
Just to feel some kind of pride
Dismissing actualities is making matters worse
The ink will fade but it won't go away
[Pre-Chorus]
A baggy shirt hides my hollow frame
Lie down and get sucked in
[Chorus]
You act as if I have this healing touch
As if I was keeping a secret from you
You could throw out your line
A call in temporary clarity
It'll never stop
It'll never stop this
[Verse 2]
I live in the middle of a lake
And I don't know how to swim
I've isolated everything
Everywhere I go I am consistently alone
[Pre-Chorus]
A baggy shirt hides my hollow frame
Lie down and get sucked in
[Chorus]
You act as if I have this healing touch
As if I was keeping a secret from you
You could throw out your line
A call in temporary clarity
It'll never stop
It'll never stop this
[Bridge]
Cautions only ever made me worry
You know that cautions only ever made me worry
You best forget your things and leave
Because cautions only ever made me worry
You best forget your things and leave
Because cautions only ever made me worry
Cautions only ever made me worry
Cautions only ever made me worry
Cautions only ever made me worry
Cautions only ever made me worry
Well, I’m Sorry Lyrics
[Intro]
I can't fix everything around me
I can't make everybody happy
And it'll be okay
[Verse 1]
Show me how to be something other than nostalgic
I want to feel inspired and innocent again
I just want to be worth your time
Just let me be worth your time
[Chorus]
Too much time spent overthinking
Yeah, I've spent too much time
Feeling like I should be sinking
I can't fix everything around me
(And it's okay)
I can't make everybody happy
(And it's okay)
[Verse 2]
Lately when I'm alone I keep thinking about the past
I'm trying to feel weak in my knees again
I want to stand up straight like when I graduated
I just want to be
Just let me be worth your time
[Chorus]
Too much time spent overthinking
Yeah, I've spent too much time
Feeling like I should be sinking
I can't fix everything around me
(And it's okay)
I can't make everybody happy
(And it's okay)
[Bridge]
Do you remember when you saw right through my selfish skin?
Do you remember when I ignored everything you did?
Well, I'm sorry
Well, I'm sorry
Well, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
[Chorus]
Too much time spent overthinking
Yeah, I've spent too much time
Feeling like I should be sinking
I can't fix everything around me
(And it's okay)
I can't make everybody happy
(And it's okay)
[Outro]
I can't fix everything around me
(And it's okay)
I can't make everybody happy
It'll be okay
Basement Stairs Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I still see us sitting on that old couch
'Til the sun comes up
Listening to sad songs
We spent our time with smiles on our faces
I know it sounds selfish but I'll miss those days
I know it sounds selfish
[Chorus]
Honestly, as time goes on
Change becomes a fence that I can't climb
But as I start to feel that change
It all becomes a wall that blocks my mind
[Verse 2]
The Fall leaves flying through the driveway
Keep triggering these memories of you
I'm torn apart with how our lives are changing
I'm sure it sounds selfish, I'm just being honest
I know it sounds selfish
But I'm trying to be honest
[Chorus]
Honestly, as time goes on
Change becomes a fence that I can't climb
But as I start to feel that change
It all becomes a wall that blocks my mind
[Bridge]
Let's go back to when thing weren't comlicated
Let's go back to all those old dashboard songs
Let's go back to smoking on the side of my old house
We can never go back, we'll never go back
We'll never go back
[Chorus]
Honestly, as time goes on
Change becomes a fence that I can't climb
But as I start to feel that change
It all becomes a wall that blocks my mind
I know it sounds selfish
I'm just being honest
Door Without a Key Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The tears run down your cheekbones
I feel sorry for you
But I'm too fucking selfish to say I do
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm a rain cloud
And the sun is shining right through me
I'm trying to be different
[Chorus]
You look at me and see an open window
That let you in
I see myself as this locking door
Without a key to take a chance on me
[Verse 2]
Today I ripped myself wide open
And I saw that my heart isn't as fucked as I recalled
It's still flawed
It's sorely stitched to my old ways
I thought it was buried but it's just stuck
To my old ways
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm a rain cloud
And the sun is shining right through me
I'm trying to be something else
[Chorus]
You look at me and see an open window
That let you in
I see myself as this locking door
Without a key to take a chance on me
[Bridge]
Shaking in the driver's seat
Staring at the dashboard
I'm holding myself back
While you're trying to break me open
I'm holding myself back
While you're trying to break me open
Please just stay
Please just stay
You see an open window
That let you in
I see myself as this locking door
[Chorus - Variation]
You look at me and see an open window
That let you in
I see myself as this locking door
Without a key
[Chorus]
You look at me and see an open window
That let you in
I see myself as this locking door
Without a key to take a chance on me
To take a chance on me
To take a chance
Eastwick Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is there any chance you could cut me some slack?
Because I've been hanging for a while
From this withered rope
Forcing every sense I had of hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Have you ever felt the last spark of innocence die
Before your very eyes and fade out of your life?
[Chorus]
I keep asking myself
"What wood was I carved from?"
But is it worth it for me to ask
Which branch fell and left me here
To crawl through this sinkhole?
[Verse 2]
What could I ask that you help me hold back
'Cause I've been falling for a while
Down this fucking slope
Losing any sense I had of hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Have you ever felt the last spark of innocence die
Before your very eyes and fade out of your life?
[Chorus]
I keep asking myself
"What wood was I carved from?"
But is it worth it for me to ask
Which branch fell and left me here
To crawl through this sinkhole?
[Bridge]
There's a collage of photos framed
Dating '93 to '95
Though all it shows me is that
I'm just a bad seed
Falling off the family tree
Colder Quicker Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got more complaints
More than pleasantries to say
Every monument is idly arranged
Every figure that has ever held importance in my life
I find nobody is who I pictured them to be
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are numb because
[Chorus 1]
It's getting colder quicker
You need more warmth than I provide
If only my skin were thicker
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
[Verse 2]
I see the faces in reflections of the past
I feel so close but I can't reach through the glass
My life burns out and flickers like the end of a cigarette
I'm nothing like they pictured me to be
[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are numb because
[Chorus 2]
It's getting colder quicker
You need more warmth than I provide
If only my skin were thicker
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt
If only your skin were thinner
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
[Bridge]
I see the light in your life
Turn the blind eye (Turn the blind eye)
"Why are you hurting me?"
She screamed from her death bed
Look at me, I'm trying to say
I haven't been slipping away
Look at me, I'm trying to say
I haven't been slipping away
I'm nothing like they pictured me to be
[Chorus 2]
It's getting colder quicker
You need more warmth than I provide
If only my skin were thicker
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
I feel it eat my insides, I'm paralyzed with guilt
If only your skin were thinner
I wouldn't feel the need to hide
