After This List

Holy shit, it's been a long few days
Count the moments and it's funny I stayed
It's pretty clear that I had lost my own way
And it's not like anyone's surprised anyway
!
Spend my time looking far to the tunnel
Try to see a spark, a moment, that I left unmuddled
Burning through a list and shit! I'm in trouble
And I swear I'll do better,
I swear I can do better now.
Like a child I can do it my own way
Just a few more things and then I'll be O.K
I'll be better after this, last, page
And I swear I'll do better,
I swear I can do better now.
It's funny to think I can do this list,
then catch up with friends I've missed
-like they won't go away
Spend my time looking far to the tunnel
Try to see a spark, a moment, that I left unmuddled
Burning through a list and shit! I'm in trouble
And I swear I'll be do better,
I swear I can be better now.
Like a child I can do it my own way
Just a few more things and then I'll be O.K
I'll be better after this, last, page
And I swear I'll be better,
I swear I can do better now.
It's funny to think I can do this list,
then catch up with friends I've missed
-like they won't go away!
And I swear I'll be better
I swear I can be better now.

Stuck

The trees on your block have been blooming all summer
I brush beneath them every day when I pass your house
Below Spanish moss I can't help but wonder
What's it take to grow here? Why am I withering deep down?
It's like I'm stuck on repeat
Still so naive
Keep doing the same laps on the same old dead-end streets
Dead parking lot, dewy humid June night
I come here sometimes when nothing's making sense
Riding my old board round and round in circles
Looking for answers, trying to clear my head
I still don't know which way to go

It's kinda funny how it's ending
A land of palms, how entertaining.
Promise of sun and easy living
This Northern skin is burned on landing.
Oh oh oh no.
We thought we had it figured out
But oh no no no
We'd have it easier swimming in a drought.
!
It wasn't anyone's fault, but it's not okay.
If I could turn it back and start over again.
You're not mad but Im pretty pissed these days
Deserved a better ending but chaos got in the-
Oh oh oh no.
We thought we had it figured out
But oh no no no
It's pretty different than we started out
!
We let it go
Why this is home
So we could grow
High heat and
Swamp-hearted
You never wanted
To be your home.
It wasn't anyone's fault, but it's not okay.
If I could turn it back and start over again.
You're not mad but Im pretty pissed these days
Deserved a better ending but chaos got in the-
Oh oh oh no.
We thought we had it figured out
But oh no no no
It fucking sucks how I came out
!
We let it go
Why this is home
So we could grow
High heat and
Swamp-hearted
You never wanted
To be your home.
High heat and
Swamp-hearted
You never wanted
To be your home.
It wasn't anyone's fault but it's not okay.

Knew the Way

How horrible they all before me?
Telling tales taller than even you seem.
You make it feel so goddamn easy
To be better than your past company.
Point out habits I didn't know existed
Kinda funny I thought I could resist it.
Licking wounds I didn't even know I had
Teaching me maybe I'm not all that bad.
I swear to god you were the same
I swear to god you knew the way that I felt that day
I swear to god I didn't mean to stay
I swear to god you knew the way to take me away
You have the sunset in your own yard
Too excited we left the damn stove on
A life lesson I coulda gained to learn from
The best intentions can have the worst outcome
Penny spent for your own loud thoughts
Not so pretty after the glow wore off
Another lesson I coulda gained to learn from
Count on moments you can stand on
I swear to god you were the same
I swear to god you knew the way that I felt that day
I swear to god I didn't mean to stay
I swear to god you knew the way to take me away

Lesson in Learning

They all greet me with the same smile
"Where have you been? It's been a while"
It's such a sight to see, this train wreck life I lead
As I keep up with that same smile
It kinda sucks to let you know
How hard it's been all on my own.
It's such a sight to see, clawing my way to be
my "truest" self, don't you all "know"?
Do you know what it feels like?
To give up your own whole life
So we can live better days
Walk away - just walk away now.
Do you know what it feels like?
To uproot your own whole life?
Go be who you're meant to be
Walk away - just walk away now
I tried to keep you from harm's way
- but I threw you in, in the worst kind of way.
It's such irony, this marionette life I lead
As strings will snap I give out, and away.
Do you know what it feels like?
To give up your own whole life
So you can live better days
Walk away - just walk away now.
Do you know what it feels like?
To uproot your own whole life?
Go be who you're meant to be
Walk away - just walk away now
Do you know what it feels like?
To be haunted by your life?
So you can be who you'd be
Walk away
I'll walk away now.
