Turn To Gold

(cmon jonny its time for school bud! youre gonna be late)
If I asked you to stay,
Would it stay that way?
And if I wanted to change,
Would that be ok?
Cause I wanna be around for the long run
Yeah, I think oh I think we might have some fun
oh oh oh oh
Everything she touches turns to gold
How that works well I wouldn’t know
Cause I’ve had my fair share of fuckin up
Yeah, lately oh lately I’ve been feeling stuck
On a moment, or a feeling I can’t describe
But I know I feel it when you’re by my side

Clean Again

Well, your bones aren’t built to last
And you’re walking on broken glass
You think you’re all alone
Just know that I’ve, I've got you
When your blood turns to alcohol
And you’re puking in the stall,
Just know you can call on me when you need to
Doors are always slammin in the house
My front porch step
Oh, i'd sell myself for a little peace or some relief
For I have found in me
Oh that suddenly
Love has come and left
I’m afraid I won't know what real love feels like
Because the love I’ve known for my whole life is a lie
You can’t describe a color if you’re blind
Are you afraid you won't know what real love feels like?
When you’re kissing under the pale moonlight
Or will you know it’s meant for you?
Because the winter comes,
And all the leaves fall
The mysteries gone
I wanna feel the sun on my skin
I wanna get myself back to clean again
I’m afraid I won't know what real love feels like
Are you afraid you won’t know what real love feels like?
I’m afraid I won’t know what real love feels like
Are you afraid you won’t know what real love feels like?
(I don’t know) (I don’t know)
Because the winter comes,
All the leaves fall
The mysteries gone
And I wanna feel the sun on my skin
I wanna get myself back

Rooftop Slushies

The first night on my own
And I don't know what I'm doing here
It's the first night on my own
And I don't know what I'm doing for dinner
Camel crushes
Rooftop slushies
No more rushing
Oh I feel so clean
Smoking joints after hours
Chrysanthemum flowers
On your sleeves
I get lonely in long showers Oh I'll stay put there for hours
Staring at the drain
Cause I've got friends there, that I talk to
There the ghosts that walk in these empty rooms
They tell me what to do
And its crystal clear,
I'm not coming home next year
Oh but it's set in stone, I'm not coming home
I'm not coming home

Ghost

I know you’re lying
Yeah, I know you’re lying to me
But that’s okay because I lie to myself to some degree
They all told me be careful what I get myself into
Its just I know I’ve been through the mud
And I don’t wanna get it on you
But you see me I’m waiting I’m wading, I’m waiting
For you tonight, tonight, tonight
Oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
(I think you’re lying no; I know you’re lying to me)
no I don’t that’s just what stupid old ghosts are all telling me
This shit will kill me before I get a grip of what’s going on

I hope I help you smile, from the back of the car
I'll take an inhale, leavings gonna be so hard
Oh, leavings gonna be so hard
I hope I help you smile
I hope you don’t feel so alone
I hope you run to the rooftops
And let it all turn to gold
Just let it all turn to gold
you’re setting of fireworks in the backyard
oh, leavings gonna be so hard
but I already feel gone
oh, I already feel gone
Not how I thought it’d go
well, it landed pretty fucking hard
I know you wouldn’t know
Well probably drift apart
Cause that’s just how life works
The dreams where everything’s good
Are almost worse than the nightmares
I wake up and you’re still not here
Constant reminders won't help me get over
I'll just pack up my bags and I’ll wait till your sober
Constant reminders won't let me get over
I'll pack up my bags and wait till I’m older

The candles out of wax
And I gotta go to bed
But I can’t go to bed
Without something to calm my head
The next time I’m home I promise,
I won't be mad no more, like I was before
I Learned to talk it out
I Learned to settle down
I now know not to treat love like a war
And ya keep me honest
I never thought I’d make this progress
The plans we made are finally coming true
Like
Slow dancing in the summer rain
The winds blowing wild on the window pains
Oh, I’m soaked in rain totally encased
Let a couple days go to waste
Well, I’ve been asking the universe to test me for a while now
And so, it did
And you should god damn know that I was not ready for this
It took you by surprise
An ever-blinding light
I never knew it could be so kind
The plans we made are never coming true
You got no idea how long I’d wait right here for your
I’m still waiting in the summer rain
The wind is blowing wild on your window panes
Oh, I’m soaked in pain, totally encased
Something simple let a couple days go to waste
Let a couple days go to waste
(the next time I'm home I promise I wont be mad no more like I was before I learned to talk it out I learned to settle down I now know not to treat love like a war)
I’ve been asking the universe to test me for a while now

Drain
04:05
|
|||
|
Circling the drain
Let it out
Settle down
I feel better now
Take the pain
You’ll learn this way
Take the pain and ignore all of the things that they might say
So I’m coming to the city
Yeah, I’m coming home back to you
all the little things we talk about
but you know, we never do
I wanna take a quick trip to New England
I need to feel that cold again
I wanna make the rafters shake
and I won't stop dancing till this roof comes caving in
I wanna just take a few days
So I can finally catch my breath
It gets exhausting running in circles
Around the hole I’ve got
Deep inside my chest
So, I’m coming home mama yeah
I’m coming home back to you
All the little things we talk about
That you know you help me through
Last night I said I’m sorry
That I couldn’t bring the stars for you to see
Cause you don’t wanna know
No, you don’t wanna know where I’m running off to
Cause I'll sink in the blue
Last night I said I’m sorry
That I couldn’t bring the sun down for you to see
Cause I’m covered in blue, deep blue is where I’m running off to
And you'll sink there too
So I’m coming to the city
Yeah I’m coming home back to you
All the little things we talk about
But you know we never do

Front Porch Coffee
02:55
|
|||
|
Well, my hands get sweaty, and my mouth feels dry
As I slowly say goodbye to the ghost who stole my life
My hands lose feeling, and I don’t know what to say
How'd I get so good at walking away?
All I wanted was a front porch
To sit and drink my coffee
To sit and think about things
Watch the cars maybe ill start getting up this early
On days that I don’t have to, they say it’ll help my mood
Ill make a list take a shot at this
But it’ll come when it wants to
It comes when it wants to
I could lay in my bed for forever if I had you with me
Now we're here and awake and I’m trying to think of things to say
Im so tired of the same fucking routine, Im always oversleeping and im always undereating.
I cant sleep here with this damn double vision
I dont know who you are

Soarin In The Blue
03:04
|

|
Second hand, I can't breathe without you here
I'm all alone in my bedroom
Got my candles got my records
But they’re nothing compared to you and me on the moon
I’m fucking soaring in the blue
Looking to help you back on your feet
Hopes down, just like my head
As I follow your footsteps to my death
And I'll cut the cord, turn the lights low
And pray that no one notices that I won’t be going home
Second hand, I can't breathe without you here
Im all alone in my bedroom
Got my candles got my records
But they’re nothing compared to you and me on the moon
I’m fuckin Soarin in the blue
Looking to help you back on your feet
I like looking up at the trees
They’re here for me,
they’re here for me
and I’m guilty, I’m guilty as charged
I’ve been at large in my bedroom
But it's nothing new
Oh, it's nothing new
Cut the cords turn the lights low
Pray that no one notices that I wont be home
Im pretty sure im gonna be alone
But I still won't get the phone if it’s you
Even if it’s you
Second hand, I can't breathe without you here
aw, FUCK!
Can you feel it?
I’m fuckin soaring in the BLUE
I'M COMING TO GET YOU CAN YOU FEEL IT
CAN YOU FEEL IT, NO?

I Promise I Won't Be Mad
03:17
|

When I come home
I promise I won’t be mad anymore
I promise I'll get a handle on my anger
Before I walk right in that door
And when I come home
I promise I won’t be scared anymore
I promise i'll get a handle on my courage
Before I walk right through that door
Cause you don’t deserve this and I don’t deserve it
And none of it seems worth it
If we keep on hurting through all of this
Through all of it.
Cause you keep me honest
I never thought I'd make all this progress
I feel so clean
You and me
Only in my dreams
Cause you don’t deserve it, and I don’t deserve it
And none of it seems worth it
if we keep on hurting through all of it
but I know I'll miss you so much
so bad
I had a dream
And that’s special
Cause I don’t dream to much
I had a dream bout us
But it sorta revolved around you
In my room
Now I’m playing it cool
Do you feel it too?
