You were smart not to waste your time Reassuring words so everything is fine I wish you would I wish you would Veach street to meet in the backseat beat down the words make it concrete I’m not saying that I’ll waste your time but I’m not sure I’ll be any more than fine Say the word and I’ll come rushing When all I want is twisted on my tongue Say the word and I’ll move mountains for you Say the word it’s getting rough I’m Barely breathing so you gave a head start Say the word and I’ll move mountains for you Your voice is sunk in to my head So unsure of words unsaid I wish I could I wish I could Stay there I sway into your lips Knock loose the beating in my chest Giving up on every part of me to loosen the grip to live and let this be Say the word and I’ll come rushing When all I want is twisted on my tongue Say the word and I’ll move mountains for you Say the word it’s getting rough I’m Barely breathing so you gave a head start Say the word and I’ll move mountains for you Your filling my head in the way They filled the lake on carousel way Staring scared into your eyes Finding every reason why Overgrown and worn out Spitting blood from my mouth Breath you out and breath you in Break my bones to start again Say the word and I’ll come rushing When all I want is twisted on my tongue Say the word and I’ll move mountains for you Say the word it’s getting rough I’m Barely breathing so you gave a head start Say the word and I’ll move mountains for you

Stay the Same 02:46

They’re tearing up the parking lot we used to hang out in I miss the way this place felt empty, I miss the kids I grew up with They’re putting up the lights again It gets brighter every year There’s no use in getting used to this I’ll keep my head down staying clear I can’t keep reminiscing on a lifetime that kept on slipping I can’t hang around here collapsed by what won’t stay the same I’m chasing ghosts across the street, back where Evan used to live winter came we crawled in shivering Pressed the heater to our skin Tied a cord between two cans Talking to the past I miss this place and all the people here Picked me up from off my back I can’t keep reminiscing on a lifetime that kept on slipping I can’t hang around here collapsed by what won’t stay the same Fifteen minutes isn’t far enough When all I ever wanted was to give this up I can’t keep reminiscing on a lifetime that kept on slipping I can’t hang around here collapsed by what won’t stay the same

Keeping Near 03:07
lyrics
buy track
All these years and still in denial Grew up, moved out, broke the cycle Went to your grave asked if you’re proud Sat still and stared down at the ground I don’t think I’m making progress Still unsure where all the time went I don’t want to be the reason why you can’t figure out what you should do It’s so unclear, keeping near Is there a reason for this distance I don’t know, I don’t know Some things are better left unsaid Cause I’m missing all of my old friends Why did I stop talking to them Every day gets harder Thinking I’d be farther I don’t want to be the reason why you can’t figure out what you should do It’s so unclear, keeping near Is there a reason for this distance I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t think I’m seeing clear yet Drawers still open before you left Nothings changed except the weather Gone for good but not for better I don’t want to be the reason why you can’t figure out what you should do It’s so unclear, keeping near Is there a reason for this distance I don’t know, I don’t know Nothings changed except the weather Gone for good but not for better

Portland 02:57
lyrics

Something’s in the way from how I feel to what I say I’ll stay inside, I’ll waste away The Longest Day and take away I don’t think I want to be the good guy But I won’t standby I guess I’m going to Portland somewhere greener up the coast clear my lungs of inland smoke impulse act that you provoked I guess I’m throwing my towel in pack the few things I have left inside a box under my bed all that you left before you went Something’s in the way of feeling better sifting through the laundry on my desk to find your sweater no return address to date It’s fine, okay I think I’m better off this way I guess I’m going to Portland somewhere greener up the coast clear my lungs of inland smoke impulse act that you provoked I guess I’m throwing my towel in pack the few things I have left inside a box under my bed all that you left before you went I wait for you to come home Like a dog by the door Take me out I need more I guess I’m going to Portland somewhere greener up the coast clear my lungs of inland smoke impulse act that you provoked I guess I’m throwing my towel in pack the few things I have left inside a box under my bed all that you left before you went

Losing Sleep 01:45
lyrics
buy track
Scrub the moonlight from your skin close your eyes can’t let me in every word except a name feeling different, feeling changed but it’s all the same anyway Still not ready for December miss the warm October weather When we drove to Keller Peak laid on the roof and you fought sleep I’ll wait for you when you get back If you do I keep thinking of new ways where days don’t decay and you stay reasons for where I went wrong the things I can’t change and you stay Don’t keep me at a distance speak now can’t reach out connect the lies to your skin arm’s length, but an ocean away up in mountains drowning in your lake Still not ready for December miss the warm October weather broken glass and bucket seats sunken eyes losing sleep the peak burned down before you’d see nothings changed, I’m still me

Magnolias 03:12
lyrics

I keep getting in the way of letting out the truth I’ll send a text, I’m on my way, I’ll see you soon, it’s your choice to stay Does it ever get easy? I don’t know Speak to yourself, hide in your home So stop looking around for my name I won’t be there, wrong time, wrong place Up the street from where we lived The box we buried sinking in Nothing last forever, so it’s true Cross the bridge I built from me to you Burn me down from the inside We had it once you felt alive Unaware the distance grew Hollow now I see right through Does it ever get easy? I don’t know Speak to yourself, hide in your home So stop looking around for my name I won’t be there, wrong time, wrong place Count each crack on your walk home Feeling lost and all alone Spend your time wasting space Magnolias bloom across my face Does it ever get easy? I don’t know Speak to yourself, hide in your home So stop looking around for my name I won’t be there, wrong time, wrong place I keep getting in the way of getting back to you No I won’t be there
