So you’re 21
You belong to nothing and no one
You think of yourself as a free bird on the breeze
Haven’t a clue which way to move
But you’re dancing to the beat
So green
Heartbreakingly green
Wishing it was easier
Days to come hold
Feelings that will
Bring you to your knees
No alibi’s
No questions why
No appeals
Despite the sincerest of pleading
So green
Find some reasons
Something you believe in
To hold onto
To hold you
When all you’ve got is escaping to
A world beyond you
That leaves you feeling so lonely and blue
But tastes so sweet on your tongue
So you’re 21
You belong to nothing and no one
You think of yourself as a wild thing running free
With time creeping up behind you
Grabbing at your knees
Pleading wont you please
Pay a little mind to me

Days like Today
05:00
|

|
Days like today got me second guessing my every move
And the doubt I’ve grown so accustomed to
The streets they are filled with grey haze
Got everything feeling so mysterious
I can’t see through
There are times when I’ve spoken
When I should not have spoke
And there are times when I’ve given my love
And it’s left my heart broke
There are times when all I know
Is that I don’t know what to do
And there are times when I get so lost in the blues
I can’t see through
But today it turned
What’s wrong again
This time last year
I swear we were best friends
Until winter descended
That’s when everything ended
Some people say, love never ends
It only begins
But I’ve loved too much to listen to those silly things
So today
Im just here to get my kicks
Here to get my digs
And then I’m
Calling the jig
And I know
That I don’t know what to do
But I’ve got nothing to prove
Today I turned away
Got no amends that I wanna make
Ain’t gotta tie up no loose ends
You don’t need to be my friend

Talk to me

Storms on the skyline
And I must confess
Guilty of no crime
But a sucker for my loneliness
I made this mess
And you’re not impressed
By my sins
Said god was watching
Always has been
Please talk to me
Please talk to me
Please talk to me
Please don’t forget me
Our paper dreams
And this house of cards
It was not what seemed
We were sad in our hearts
And I cry for the past when I look back
Cure Adam and eve
For giving me sight
For giving me eyes
For shedding some light on this mess
Please talk to me
Please talk to me
Please talk to me
Please don’t forget me
Here’s to the morphine
Here to killing our pain
Cigarettes and caffeine
We were young and naive
I had you, you had me
Please talk to me
Please talk to me
Please talk to me
Please don’t forget me
And I haven’t heard from you in a while
But the thought of you makes me smile
And I don’t know what that means
But I do know what that seems like
Please talk to me
Please talk to me
Please talk to me
Please don’t regret me

Follow

Please listen to me
Here what I have to say
I open in curiosity
Please
Will you show some
For what I’m expressing
Instead of digressing
If you follow me
I’ll follow you
If you follow me
I’ll follow you
To the middle of the monsoon
Into the moments when the midnight
Ravishes your youth
And the sunshine reveals your truth
I’ll follow you
I let my guard down
In a tent by a lake in Algonquin where the rain fell
Gently
On the canopy
And the sun pouring in
Kissing our skin
In the warmest colors
The autumn breeze
It was beautiful and bold
The air was crisp and cold
And you were there to hold me
If you follow me
I’ll follow
Follow me
I’ll follow you
I trust that my heart when I hand it to you will be cherished
If you follow me I’ll follow you
I’ll waltz with your woes
I’ll kiss your toes
I’ll try to attune my heart to the harder moments
Baby I’m open to
You
If you follow me
Ill… follow you

Skin

Rising, building, falling, falling fast and hitting hard
Know its coming round
Gonna fall on my back
Been so high for so long
And if theres one thing I know
Its that nothing lasts
And I feel so uncomfortable in my skin
This familiar old heaviness is creeping back in
And I know its been a long time coming
But I thought maybe if I just kept running, running, running, running
And im driving myself crazy
I don’t know how to let go
Of these ideas
That hold me and scold me
When I fall out of line
I’m just living day to day
And trying to be kind
And good to myself too
But ive been so high for so long
I know the floor
Has gotta fall through
And I feel so uncomfortable in my skin
This familiar old heaviness is creeping back
And I know it’s been a long time coming
But I thought maybe if I just kept running
Back to the shadows
To looking up on my life from the depths and hating the sight of it
This part I think your gonna wanna close your eyes for this
Don’t even know if I can handle it
And I feel so uncomfortable in my skin
Heaviness my old friend is knocking
And I know ive gotta let him in
Gotta quit my running
Outro:
Give the soul that’s inside of me
A running chance at being free
So if you’ll please excuse me
Just gotta feel it out

This is goodbye
Can't sleep
I can feel him, coming for me
Humming in me
So gently
The sweetest silent song
I was dancing along
All the small talking
Batting my eyes at you walking by
The dawn of death
Dressed in a sillhoette
Standing by the window at my bedside
Ran at you in disbelief
Boy was I screaming
Clawing at the nothingness you left behind
The sweetest silent song
I was dancing along
All the small talking
Batting my eyes at you walking by
Find a place to lay my head
Gotta try and forget
To just let it lie
To live and let die
The sweetest silent song
I was dancing along
All the small talking
Batting my eyes at you walking by
This is goodbye

Old Friend

Old friend
I will love you till the end of time
Old friend
I’ll hold only the fondest memories, so tenderly, in my mind
I remember those blue-green eyes looking into mine
And I know that there was something you liked
If even only for a moment in time
Old friend I choose to remember you as kind
Despite the times
That didn’t feel right
Old friend
I will love you till the end of time
Old friend
I’ll hold only the fondest memories, so tenderly, in my mind
Old friend I’m so grateful for our time
For the moments when I saw love in your eyes
And for the darkness now
There is no reason or rhyme
I’ve got new things to find out
Gotta sort my heart and mind out
Maybe take a little time out
Suns coming out
Old friend
I will love you till the end of time
Old friend
I’ll hold only the fondest memories, so tenderly, in my mind
