When you came back to the northeast nothing sounded quite the same, all your friends seemed so distant - and everyone spoke
in past tense, So the nights grow colder and there's still no answer she's not coming to your parties, she's not answering your calls, and you really have no friends You have agents, you have bookies but tomorrow's Just a new day after all Could've had it better if you'd waited, Could've had so much more than nothing at all, Could've had it better if you'd waited When I said it's forever, well, I meant it, I meant every word / So this is how it ends, you're just in love with your best friend and y'know, I shouldn't be surprised because you kids you just make bad decisions and I am not exempt, I am a mess inside my head you are the constant reminder that's under my skin that I'll only ever get one chance to get it right./ What
happens when the story ends before it stops? When people focus on the holes in the plot? In can't forget, I can't recall It's not your fault, it's not a story after all//

You used to ask me,"Are you gonna come home?" I'd say I probably will but now I guess I won't. These are the moments, escalating into war. /When the sky falls down will you be standing there like you've got it all? Like you've got it all with the bullets past your ears and the sirens on call. You're just a painting of a girl I used to know and I'll let you burn and I'll light the match cause it's just like letting go of something beautiful/If you could see me, I'm a ghost I'm a shell But after all of the bottles do you recognize yourself? I gave you everything and you only gave me hell. And when I set and dim the stage at night I never thought I'd be the victim of myself// This building is the worst place ever built These painted faces were made to melt You can't say it never happened till there's no evidence to tell//

Oh captain I am sinking, you have faltered at the wheel. I am clinging to the places where I feel alive and new but they are fading now They are fading out Oh lately it feels like I am not where I want to be It's so obvious that I was meant for better things/ I just want to be fine today let tomorrow slide off my shoulders Let the newscasters take away all the static and the rain I am hoping for the brighter days for the sun and for the summer I am hoping for tomorrow and I won't let you take me over/ I never learned to swim I only clung to passing ships But now that the storm is over I'm not sure I can commit to treading water just to stay afloat the ocean you've been in and in waiting for my rescue I have over stayed my welcome I have tried hard to be the person who can stand alone I am trying hard to be the one who makes it on my own// This is an extension of who I want to be These are mistakes that I have made are alive and killing me this is me letting myself down and I'm hoping you forgive me, yes I am hoping you forgive me It's so obvious that we were meant for better things//

Over and Out

I want to let go of this thing so badly Cause I have seen the violence and I have been a witness to our own destruction the arson
of existence we get closer; we hold tighter and then we set ourselves on fire / Stick a fork in it and call it done and back away before you get burned it was over before it got on We were going through the motions and got lost in the explosions of us And I waited I stayed it out I tried so hard to make this work So stick a fork in it and call it done all the distance in between us it will never really feel like enough / We're just a product of the modern chemistry but where they have serotonin
we are acetone and gasoline Over the spark we have ignited just a consequence of living when the pharmacist come looking we'll be kicking at the ashes screaming, // Wait in silence, we'll survive this. Time is all we need to stop the bleeding. //

Subject to Change

I hope you're happy now, We finally moved on You're not the same person now that you were at the start I can see it now, every time I close my eyes we were just wasting time / You're all up in the air? Well, that's subject to change, and you can't back up from the decision you made to involve yourself in the circus in your head, you had no way of knowing how messed up my mind is - We tried to keep this going but but we couldn't quite make it stick and now I'm stuck in the same place dealing with the same things and god I'm getting sick of it / You keep saying it's not quite what it seems and I'll ask for the truth but you won't level with me You're changing. This is crazy I don't think it get's better than this anymore // You can say all you want tomorrow it gets better, you can blame it on my moods, you can blame it on the weather but I'm still here in the same spot looking for the person who left me here for the last four years I don't wanna repeat I don't wanna rewind, if you can't come back please don't even try I don't wanna repeat I don't wanna rewind, if you can't come back don't bother at all. //
