• 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
