I forgot to mention I love the way you listen to me ramble on About life and love And my dreams of Taking back all the things that I’ve ever done Like being a good person Or having a good heart As you know it didn’t get me anywhere And as you’re talking to your friends I’m thinking of ways to talk to you Smart remarks and other quotes So that I know I’m not alone There’s a danger in my footsteps But it didn’t matter to me Cause all you are is all I wanna be. I’m giving it my all I guess I’ve had too much to drink Thanks again for all the laughs But I’m pretty sure I know how this ends And as you’re heading to the door I hear you rushing up to me You said, “let’s go, I’m getting sleepy” Just like you said Nothing ever stays They’ll turn away like they always do But not tonight Cause things are different So here’s to us for pulling through I’ve been waiting for a night like this Where I’m not afraid to speak There’s 30 people hear tonight And I’ll only talk to you And through the midst of everything we said I know we’ll just forget And the best part of the night is I don’t remember how we fell asleep I’ve been waiting for a night like this Where I’m not afraid to speak There’s 30 people hear tonight And I’ll only talk to you And through the midst of all the shit we said I know we’ll just forget And the best part of the night is I don’t remember how we fell asleep And the best part of the night is I don’t remember how we fell asleep

Stop Pacing 02:08
I got two fingers They fit perfectly down my throat I’m burning inside I need to cool down I know what I’ll do I’ll just drink until I can’t see straight I’m talking to loud I need to calm down I got a B on a test I can’t remember I’ll slither right down your throat It’s getting easier to be a member Of this hyper-realistic joke Now we’re crying on the floor trying to remember When did life get so hard on you and me Every single time I wake up I start falling straight to pieces Every single time I fall asleep I wake up a bit more anxious Cause you try so hard to gain a few But you can’t stop pacing Stop pacing You don’t got a cell phone So I don’t know where you’ve been living So I stalk your mother’s facebook page To see if you’re still breathing Her last post Of you was late late late July Man you looked good You got your hair cut short You had that same look in your eye The night you said I could be anything You were on your third klonopin You passed out before I had even left Fast forward now I’m in my room I’m trying really fucking hard not to think of you But it’s difficult cause I don’t know if you’re Dead Every single time I wake up I start falling straight to pieces Every single time I fall asleep I wake up a bit more anxious Cause you try so hard to gain a few I can’t stop pacing Sometimes I don’t know what to do I can’t stop pacing I’m stuck in your complacency I can’t stop pacing My mother tells me constantly To just stop pacing Stop pacing

Do you think that you could be yourself? For just this moment Do you think that you could put it out? Or just stand in the back light Cause I’ve been trying to be someone else For about 4 years now Smoking loud I’m in my head I’m feeling normal These nights get shorter Every time I watch you fall asleep These holes swallow my teeth Cause you don’t know how I feel These days Cause you’re too busy hating my guts Talking shit to my best friends About how I was never enough I may be the villain But you’re playing the victim Go out Please do something Don’t just sit and pretend and just wish You were somewhere else I’m gonna trip all over all these words I’ll loose my footing The weed has got me paralyzed Now I feel stupid It’s got me breathing quick these days I miss my adolescence Am I gonna turn out like my dad? I don’t think that’s a bad thing For now I’m drinking Searching for the words to calm you down As I take a look around There’s not a place I’d rather be Cause you know how I feel These days When the pressure’s centered in my guts And I hate the man I am When I know that I’m making it up Cause we’re all victims in this World of villains But we got each other And with you right there I don’t need Nothin

God dammit, I lost my focus It’s way too loud in here I guess I should get some air Then maybe you and I could just laugh at how David keeps repeating the same damn stories Like how he learned to lose you and feel fine Or how he Never forgave himself for letting you go It’s a small price to pay It’s just something that happens But I know you’re doing well and it’s all in the past now Is it to soon to say I like you a lot? Oh god There I go putting my foot in my mouth Well at least there’s some progress Is this really progress? Or am I holding onto shit that will all go away? I’m trying really hard to just let it go You should see The way I look at you You’d never believe me when I say that I like you Oh god, I think I like you Guess we’re back to square one And there’s no way out I don’t care about anything other than this We can talk about it when we’re both alright There’s a beauty in our slurring of words And if this night goes to shit I won’t think anything of it

The seven bus is late again I’m getting tired of Standing in this bone chilling wind My Joints are creaking Foundations weakening Got here early to get nowhere fast The seven bus is late again It’s getting colder And the rain is picking up I’m getting tired of this bullshit wait Woke up on time for once Just to play pretend And end up late. The seven bus is late again Checked my phone tried to catch The 1:23 All I caught are my hand Jammed into my pockets Shivering From the base of my bones to the tips of my teeth Well fuck Guess I’m not seeing you tonight Well damn Guess I'll just stay home inside. Well shit Guess this is where we end Or is it? Do you think that you could just come over?

I know you said You wanted to be alone tonight But the question is Did we ever take this town Like you wanted to? And I’m scared to death that this might be wrong To a life of conversations cut too short While our heads are a mess And we’ll run in circles again With this life we lead Would you change it instead? ‘Cause I’m running out of time And you’re safe in your bed With nothing left to do but let love take its time But I’ll miss the laugh I had to leave behind And you’ll speak of me in anecdotes that you wrote yourself We’ll pretend we’re still friends and live our lives again So I’ll wait all night for you to come around And I’ll make believe that everything will be just fine
