Make My Way

I'm a kid and I feel stupid
I'm learning now that time runs out
And I am lost, and I feel lonely
Losing hurts - well, lesson learned
Life's a struggle when you face it:
this has never been a secret
I will miss you now you're gone
but I will turn the pages anyway, and I will carry on
I will hold on through the pain
and I will keep you in my memories, and I will make my way
I am young, and I am foolish
I'm stuck in stasis - you've moved along
And I am losing, but I'll be gracious
It's my turn now, clock's ticking down
I'll make you proud
And I will miss you now you're gone
but I will turn the pages anyway and I will carry on
I will hold on through the pain
And I will keep you in my memories, and I will make my way
I'm a kid, and I feel stupid

So Sick

I'm walking on ashes of things that were lost in the past
and I burned all my bridges, and now I can never go back
You can search for me out in the ruins - you'll always find me alone
I'm walking on ashes of places I used to call home
Don't stop living the moment
when it feels like you're losing your mind
Don't stop while the music is playing
and we just might live through the night
And I think I found you out
Well he thinks that we might be alright
I'm walking on quicksand, I think I might be falling in
and I can sense your fear now, and it's coming from deep down within
When I look in the mirror I see a monster without a name
I'm walking on quicksand, and I fall right in - what a shame
Don't stop living the moment
when it feels like you're losing your mind
Don't stop while the music is playing
and we just might live through the night
And I think I found you out
Well he thinks that we might be all-
Oh, he said
I never once thought we wouldn't survive
and now, she said
"I'm so sick of just living your lie"
And I think I found you out
Well, he thinks that we might be all-
Don't stop living the moment
when it feels like you're losing your mind
Don't stop while the music is playing
and we just might live through the night
And I think I found you out
Well he thinks that we might be alright

Know This Part

I cannot recall the time I met you
I cannot recall all that much
I'd forget my own name if it hadn't sunken in
for twenty-one whole years - I'm out of touch
And I could probably relearn how to slow dance
I could write you letters every day:
long forgotten notions about romance
that I can never work out how to say
You and I are bound to be a bad idea
and I can't find the words yet anyway
Well I've got heavy thoughts 'cause I don't know this part
there's never a right thing to say - I wouldn't know it anyway
Just tell me where to start
At best my experience is lacking
I'll even admit that that's a fact
but even I know when the question's out there
there's no way that I can take it back
We run in the same circles, we're already friends
We could make this magic - we could ruin everything
You and I are bound to be a bad idea
and I can't find the words yet anyway
Well I've got heavy thoughts 'cause I don't know this part
there's never a right thing to say - I wouldn't know it anyway
Just tell me where to start
Am I reading this all wrong? Would I know it?
Darling, I can keep you right: I can show it
if you ask, if you want - I'm waiting on your say so.
Did you want anything from me?
You and I are bound to be a bad idea
and I can't find the words yet anyway
Well I've got heavy thoughts 'cause I don't know this part
there's never a right thing to say - I wouldn't know it anyway
Just tell me where to start

Here We Go Again

Welcome to the new year again
I've got a resolution waiting in the wings -
I always do, but I
never seem to change a thing
I'd like to lose a little weight, please refrain from sleeping late,
maybe even like my face on my bad days
but I don't really hate it
so what's the point in changing anything at all?
My father said it was easy
I wish I could say the same
oh, here we go again
Here's another three hundred-plus agonising days
of looking for a job I don't entirely hate, well
I've already had three at twenty
Do I really need another one? No.
My father said it was easy
I wish I could say the same
oh, here we go again
It's been a whole year and I couldn't tell
I've accomplished nothing yet - and just as well
Getting older hasn't made me any bolder
But god, I've grown a spine if I'm looking back:
January working, I had found my feet,
July saw me lose them - it was best for me;
I watched my savings go slowly out the window
but I found around May that I'd fallen out of love
Gods above
Maybe that's a good year after all
Every year I still resolve to write a book before I'm old
but every novel concept that I have falls through:
it's all been done before, I'm not original, I'm not inspired.
And every time I think to play on some actual venue's stage
I lose my pride, I lose my nerve, I'd lose the guts to show up, but I
wouldn't know where to show up in the first place, anyway.
My father said it was easy
I wish I could say the same
oh, here we go again
It's been a whole year and I couldn't tell
I've accomplished nothing yet - and just as well
Getting older hasn't made me any bolder
But god, I've grown a spine if I'm looking back:
January working, I had found my feet,
July saw me lose them - it was best for me;
I watched my savings go slowly out the window
but I found around May that I'd fallen out of love
Gods above
Maybe that's a good year after all
