• Before

    I never knew how to say this
    I never really knew what to do
    But now I think I’ve finally found the answer
    And now I think I know the answers you

    And I can feel it on the tips of my fingers
    Now I know I’m free

    Before I met you I was stuck in midnight
    A streak of starlight caught in a blur
    But now I see you and time stands still
    And now I’m tryna tell you how I feel

    Cause you are in the tips of my fingers
    All I touch is new

    It’s hard to believe what you can’t see
    It makes you question your sanity
    But in my eyes there is nothing more true
    I wanna spend all my days on you

    I’ve never laughed this hard before
    I’ve never sang this loud before
    Since I found you at my door
    I’ve never danced like this before

    I’ve never smiled this bright before
    I’ve never felt this light before
    All I can say is I want more
    I’ve never felt this joy before

    All I can say is I want more
    I’ve never felt this joy before

  • Something Along the Lines Of

    You were young
    And yet you clung
    To the cracks in the concrete of the past
    Forced out of home
    Roots ripped from places welcome
    Your petals fell from around your neck

    You rushed to gather them
    But instead just scattered them
    Deeper into the corners of the universe
    Your name was thus written
    On every planet and rock in space
    But was nowhere on your heart

    You’re something along the lines of
    You don’t quite know what you’re made of

    Insecurity will consume
    Every crack every room
    Unoccupied by sterling confidence
    So practice shouting your name
    And begin to claim
    The parts of you left undiscovered

    Hold tight to who you are
    Because you never know
    Who you’ll turn out to be
    Tomorrow

    You’re something along the lines of
    You don’t quite know what you’re made of

    That throbbing thing
    At your core
    Are words that you’ve never even heard before
    But once you see
    Yourself in love
    You’ll understand what bones are made of

    We’re something along the lines of
    This time we know what we’re made of

    We’re something along the lines of
    This time we know what we’re made of

  • Open Book

    I’ll write you a letter that you’ll keep
    Every time you read it you’ll think
    “That’s so sweet”
    But you’ll keep it in your pocket
    The words will fade and stamp fall off it
    Unreplied

    You’ll write me a poem in your head
    It’ll be the loveliest thing you’ve
    Ever said
    But you’ll never get to tell me
    Verses lost forgotten empty
    Never read

    We never seem to be on the same page
    You’re flipping through so fast these days
    And if you ever stop to ask me how I’ve been
    I’ll remember those times, you loved me then
    Those times, you loved me then

    I’ll sing you a song that you’ll love
    It won’t be about us but you’ll
    Wish it was
    You’ll play it while you sleep
    Falling so much more deeply
    Than I can go

    We never seem to be on the same page
    You’re flipping through so fast these days
    And if you ever stop and wonder how I’ve been
    Just remember those good times, I loved you then
    Those times, I loved you then

    And I will learn to let you go
    In these times you never know
    What you’ll force the past to hold
    And I will hold onto hope
    But in these times you never know
    So I will learn to let you go

    I know it’s always hard to say goodbye
    I’m just sorry I took so much of your time

  • Smoke Doesn’t Sting So Bad

    Ya know a cigarette
    Seems like a good idea when you’re 20 years in
    With nowhere left to go
    It’s a hopeless life
    When you look around and you realize
    We’ve made the same mistakes
    Time and time again
    But I’m still breaking-in this skin

    You know a good night’s sleep
    Seems like a good idea when you’re neck deep
    But the demons don’t understand
    Yeah, they’re cut throat
    You either sink or you swim
    Baby, I know
    I don’t stand a chance
    But I’m still breaking-in this skin

    Somehow we’ve survived
    This long
    Somehow we’ve survived
    This long
    We’ve survived
    This long, this long
    And somehow we’ll survive
