Faded, lay on our backs
Wide awake on the pavement
So tell me what you need
I could stay pull away
Call a cab or relax in your room
Yeah we could
In a way we were safe
To pretend that we both understood
And so far so good
Lately I’m tired of faking
No hesitation when I’m with you
And maybe I’ve been mistaken
No medication could pull me through
So why’s it like that
A knife in my back the catch to my 22
A smile to take back a wasted Kodak
A dream that keeps falling through
And again
Jaded
Counting the cards
In a game that we’re playing
So tell me what you need
I could stay pull away
Call a cab or relax in your room
Yeah we could
In a way we were safe
To pretend that we both understood
And so far so good
Lately I’m tired of faking
No hesitation when I’m with you
And maybe I’ve been mistaken
No medication could pull me through
Lately I’m tired of faking
No hesitation when I’m with you
And maybe I’ve been mistaken
No medication could pull me through

Debbie Downer

Kwik Trip 4 in the morning
Soft drink handed the guy a five
You can keep the change now
Cause things are kinda fine now
I quit texting my toxic friends
I quit wishing the world would end
Would somebody explain it
Read it like a warranty
It’s me a Debbie Downer pessimist
Out of my element
New me but just a distant relative
Oh I think that I can get with it
Woah-oh
Slam my hand in door
And I don’t care anymore
And it could really be worse
Woah-oh
Got my feet on the floor
And it could really be worse
Woah-oh
Everything from before
It doesn’t hurt anymore
And it could really be worse
Woah-oh
It’s a big universe
And it could really be worse
Maybe I forgot about
All my insecurities
Maybe it’s my roommates
I feel like they’re good for me
I stopped skipping breakfast
Started up a new routine
Maybe I should give in
Finally go to therapy
It’s me a Debbie Downer pessimist
Out of my element
New me but just a distant relative
Oh I think that I can get with it
Woah-oh
Slam my hand in door
And I don’t care anymore
And it could really be worse
Woah-oh
Got my feet on the floor
And it could really be worse
Woah-oh
Everything from before
It doesn’t hurt anymore
And it could really be worse
Woah-oh
It’s a big universe
And it could really be worse

Replay

Somebody asked me what I meant
When I said that I can’t forget
Always a replay in my head
Since I met her, 19 was really a waste
And it’s chemicals I know
But I guess it’s just my flaw
And you know I can’t pretend
Cause this feels bad in the worst way no control
And I’m stuck here on my phone
Body in cruise control
Everything is just such a mess
I think it must be a test
That I’m failing, frustrating
I can tell that you’re at your best
You know I’m really impressed now, now
Alcohol and mental arrest
When I saw you on the internet
And overall
I wish you the best
But I’d love to see you losing it
I think you know, that you looked way better on me
Leave it alone, I guess I’ll always be a wannabe
So do you think about me half as much as I do you
On the ride to Malibu
I had my doubts but I
Always hoped it wasn’t true
Thought that I would be with you
Thought that I would be with you
Cause I keep thumping my chest
Don’t wanna hear what you said
Got my feet at the edge of your driveway
Let’s stop playing pretend
Cause your stuck in my head now, now
Alcohol and mental arrest
When I saw you on the internet
And overall
I wish you the best
But I’d love to see you losing it
I think you know, that you looked way better on me
Leave it alone, I guess I’ll always be a wannabe

Hollywood

A-frames and cottonwoods
(Cottonwoods, cottonwoods)
Float through the neighborhood
(Neighborhood, neighborhood)
Take me to Hollywood
(Hollywood, Hollywood)
Cause my life is a movie
And every minute sucks
It was moonlit grab my wrist yeah
How’d it get like this?
Your chapstick on my lips
Tell me what I missed
Cause you don’t mind
I’m underneath your shoes most times
6 years of cruise control
Yearbooks and centerfolds
Take me to Tokyo
Where I can ditch the feeling
That I’m just not enough
It was moonlit grab my wrist yeah
How’d it get like this?
Your chapstick on my lips
Tell me what I missed
Cause you don’t mind
I’m underneath your shoes most times
Put your cards out
On the table
You can leave me out if you say so
Was it timing?
Or a fable?
Should’ve told you then back in April
A-frames and cottonwoods
Float through the neighborhood
Take me to Hollywood
Cause my life is a movie
And every minute sucks

Overrated

Wasted, I’m driving home
And I text my friends just to tell them what they already know
Taste it
You call me to waste time
And you cracked your phone at the killers show but
I’m hoping that you’re alright
Make up your mind
I’m so stuck here confined
Got a knife in my spine you know
Always looking for more
Got me begging at your door
All I want is for you to care, just care
Cause I get embarrassed every time
I’m wasting my life don’t catch your eye
You don’t love me but at least you’re amused
Honey I know what’s on your mind
But you’re too polite
Right then everything is a mess
And I know I’m fading just a little
I guess I’ll make it
But you think I’m too overrated now
I wish you knew that
I feel like I’m no one in this town
I’m no one in this town
Feels like I’m going to war
And I don’t even know what it’s for
Lose myself in adoration
Empty words and celebration now
They’re moving past me now
Cause I get embarrassed every time
I’m wasting my life don’t catch your eye
You don’t love me but at least you’re amused
Honey I know what’s on your mind
But you’re too polite
Right then everything is a mess
And I know I’m fading just a little I guess I’ll make it
But you think I’m too overrated now
I wish you knew that I feel like I’m no one in this town
I’m no one in this town

Walking on Fire
02:35

I think I want you a little bit more
I’m coming over, I’ll knock on your door
Tell me you love me like you did before
But I make a mess spill my heart on the floor
I’m running away but you stay inside
All of my problems you pay them no mind
Tell me to fix em, and leave me behind
You know that I can’t when you’re here by my side
And I might’ve held on to something
That I couldn’t replicate
So blurry
But I’ll just stay home alone
I’ll cry through a megaphone
I’m walking on fire, feeling the burn
Over and over, but I never learn
Giving my heart with nothing in return
I know it ain’t right
It’s just the way that I work
I’m feeling stuck here, while you walk on by
You’re still unfazed by the way that you lied
Hold onto memories of you in my life
Wish I could change em, and make em alright
And I might’ve held on to something
That I couldn’t replicate
So blurry
But I’ll just stay home alone
I’ll cry through a megaphone
I’m walking on fire, feeling the burn
Over and over, but I never learn
Giving my heart with nothing in return
I know it ain’t right
It’s just the way that I work
