Distancing

So this is where it begins?
Or this is where it ends?
I can't help but look back
To the empty theaters
And broken pens
Trynna write you a note
To make you show up
(I'm driving over, I'm driving over)
Maybe forever
Was more like playing pretend
We're distant
(We're distant)
I'm just one person
(I'm done with persistence)
We're distant
(We're distant)
You're distant
I'm distancing
I'm better without you
I'm better without you
I'm lying awake
I still haven't found truth
I'm better without you
I'm better without you
I'm lying awake
I still haven't found truth
Distance gets it right
Just one more night
Trynna change it all
But I can't get inside
Moving further away
Closer to one more day
I'm gone, gone, gone

All Your Friends
03:16

Maybe I'm lazy
Maybe I'm bored
But you look better
Than before we met
I keep getting criticized
For wanting to make more
Than just amends
Take time and listen up
Before you start
Making all the bends
Don't leave just yet
'Cause it's not over
'Til the bitter end
And I'm not trying
To be more
Than all your friends
Maybe I was tired
Checkin' up on you
In a dream
Your dry eyes
Those bad times
Confronted me
Now I see
What I'm supposed to know
Even though
You passed me by
About a month or so ago
You couldn't take all your dreams
Shut down by realities
And I'm still ready to go
Go!
Don't leave just yet
'Cause it's not over
'Til the bitter end
And I'm not trying
To be more
Than all your friends

The Sunset, The Pier
03:22
|

It's funny how so much changes in a year
How one friend
Could be the sunset
While the other finds me walking on the pier
I'll keep watching the sunset
Until it rises from the coast
And I'll sleep on the pier
Find a new life here
I keep searching for
I keep searching for something more
I am searching for
I am searching for something more
It's funny how so much changes in a year
How the sunset takes away all your fear
And I keep walking up and down the pier
I'll keep watching the sunset
Until it rises from the coast
And I'll sleep on the pier
Find a new life here
I keep searching for
I keep searching for something more
I am searching for
I am searching for something more

Vancouver

How quickly can
One find another
Spend just one night
Like I've known you forever
The gates are shifting it seems
Your philosophies are my dreams
The gates are shifting it seems
Will you go to Vancouver with me?
Wherever we go
You are my home
Wherever we go
You are my,
You are my,
Home...
Wherever we go
You are my,
You are my,
Home.

Infinity
02:55

Fighting for more to space
Working out subtle ways
Broader moving forward
Don't forget the ones you say
Got you here for a brighter today
Lies run out someday
Find another way
Exploring a different space
You are, we are
Infinite
Lighting the dark of day
Calling for an electric embrace
To feel things I've never felt before
Blood surging through my veins
The heart on my shoulder leads the way
Lies run out someday
Find another way
Exploring a different space
You are, we are
Infinite
Infinite
Infinite
Infinite.

Justify
03:46

I wish you could see the lights tonight
I wish you could see the lights tonight
But I've shut out every part of meaning
Pushed myself away
But I've shut out every part of meaning
I've pushed myself away
Go on
So hard to justify
Go on
So hard to justify
You wish I could feel the breeze tonight
You wish I could feel the breeze tonight
But you've shut down any sense of feeling
Now you know
You've pushed yourself away
Go on
So hard to justify
Go on
So hard to justify
If we stay here now
Will your tears wash out?
Will they run down clear
When you justify?
If we stay here now
Will the pain slow down?
Will it turn to black
When we close our eyes?
Go on
So hard to justify
Go on
So hard to justify

3 A.M.

I'm tired of it all
Or am I really just terrified?
Late night talks
Make me run away at night
She told me to call
But my lack of progression
Lets the phone ring
You are my 3 a.m. thoughts
The voices in my head
That tell me to call
When I really should be in bed
You are my 3 a.m. thoughts
And my lack of rest
They're telling me I really should
Be in bed
I'm sick of it all
Or am I really just petrified?
Letting the phone ring at 3 a.m.
And night time, no sleep
Caught up to me
In the end,
I'm just your worthless friend
There I go again
All these late night thoughts
Stuck in my own head
There I go again
Lay me to rest
You are my 3 a.m. thoughts
The voices in my head
That tell me to call
When I really should be in bed
You are my 3 a.m thoughts
And my lack of rest
They're telling me I really should
Be in bed

Walk You Home
02:40
|

|
Drop your stuff
Let's catch up
She says,
"I'm running late and dressed up"
Made amends before tests
Can we make it out of this mess?
Cloud covers
Pouring rain
Can't make out
What you're trying to say
But I'll walk you home now
Through the waves
On your way
Down the boardwalk she lets go
She says,
"I can't go home without you"
Down the beach,
Storms are coming
This night's cut short
And now we're running
Cloud covers
Pouring rain
Can't make out
What you're trying to say
But I'll walk you home now
Through the waves
On your way
She says,
"Goodbye, I'm leaving soon"
I say goodbye and goodnight too
Turn back around
Let everything out
"I won't forget you"
I won't forget you...

Letterman's Jacket
03:02

I'm so bitter
For lack of a better word
It took too long
To write this verse
Call it karma
As I remain undeterred
For lack of a better word
Paid my dues
Paid respect
And got out
I'm working for the best
But won't forget
What's put behind me I guess
They said to wait another day
But with the time spent
I think I'll be ok
I'm so bitter
To this cold town
I've got bigger things
Ahead of me now
Maybe I'll go nowhere
But in a van with some friends
It's worth it
Paid my dues
Paid respect
Took the trash out
And packed my bags
Fed the dog
Then left town
I got out
I'm working for the best
But won't forget
What's put behind me I guess
They said to wait another day
But with the time spent
I think I'll be ok
I won't get a letterman's jacket
But I'll get a record deal.

Trading Spaces
03:21

Take your tickets
Take a plane
And fly out to see me today
Take a cab
Let's meet on Broadway
We'll take on this city
Our own way
Two places, trading spaces
Need to see you
I need to see you
Two, places, trading spaces
Too much confidence
In so much distance
I believe we just met
But don't believe it at all
How could my feelings have gotten so strong?
Tell me your mistakes
All the bad choices you have made
We'll make up our regrets together
A fine, little endeavor
You say you're messed up
But I am too
You say you're messed up
Then what is left to lose?
What is there left to lose?
Take your tickets
Take a plane
And fly out to see me today
Take a cab
Let's meet on Broadway
And we'll take on this city
Our own way.
