You Don't Feel the Same

Did you hear it picking apart our peace of mind?
You’re clicking your heels together, but you’re not ready for a different life
Did you feel it like a knife, or were you too numb inside?
Quickly I tried to tear its hide, but the truth is a beast that will not die
It knows
You don’t feel the same way as I do
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
You don’t feel the same way as I do
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
And you never did and you never will love me like I need
And you never did and you never will know how I feel, know how I feel
And you never did and you never will love me like I need
And you never did and you never will know how I feel, know how I feel
Did you see me dripping wet on the kitchen floor?
Tears streaming, but you walk right through me, am I just a ghost?
Did you hear me in the deep end screaming ‘cause I couldn’t float?
You stare me down, you drown me out, well I should have known
You don’t feel the same way as I do
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
You don’t feel the same way as I do
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
And you never did and you never will love me like I need
And you never did and you never will know how I feel, know how I feel
And you never did and you never will love me like I need
And you never did and you never will know how I feel, know how I feel
Heaven help me, ‘cause I’m not breathing like I used to
Last night I dreamed I was born in the deep blue
Heaven help me, ‘cause I’m not feeling like I used to
What can you do when there’s an ocean left between you?
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t
You don’t feel the same way as I do
You don’t, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t

I Promise

You’re stuck in your head, you’re stuck in your bed, and you won’t get out of it
You’re worried about all the shit they said, and you’ve had enough of it
Well darling you’re the best part of the party, and I won’t RSVP unless you are here with me
When it falls apart you feel at fault somehow
You think you've lost your way, head fills with doubt
Well come on take my hand, I'll help you out
I swear I’ll pull you up, I'll never let you down
And when I promise, I promise to help you out, out
And when I follow, I follow so you won’t fall down, down
And when I promise, I promise to help you out, out
And when I follow, I follow so you won’t fall down, down
Talking’s easy, and oh my God it’s cheap
You’ve had enough of it
So let's keep quiet, i'll give you what you need
I’ll keep my promises
‘Cause darling you’re the best part of the party, and I won’t RSVP unless you are here with me
When it falls apart you feel at fault somehow
You think you've lost your way, head fills with doubt
Well come on take my hand, I'll help you out
I swear I’ll pull you up, I'll never let you down
I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
And when I promise, I promise to help you out, out
And when I follow, I follow so you won’t fall down, down
And when I promise, I promise to help you out, out
And when I follow, I follow so you won’t fall down, down
I promise you
I promise you
I promise you
I promise you

Pink Elephants

All hopped up, white rabbits in your pocket
It’s more than I can offer you, isn’t it?
Oh I’ve lost a few before, watched them go overboard
My mistake is I still wait wide-eyed on shore
Pink elephants and white rabbits
Take a little pill, take away the sadness
Crying for help while you cover your mouth
Pink elephants and white rabbits
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
I’m hunting with hounds until you come down
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
You find yourself on the wrong side of too many sunrises (surprise, surprise)
You see what you want, I saw it all along
But it was hunting season and you were long gone
You’re so caught up, it drags you down
Pink elephants and white rabbits
Take a little pill, take away the sadness
Crying for help while you cover your mouth
Pink elephants and white rabbits
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
I’m hunting with hounds until you come down
Well I don't blame you, I know how it feels
With tusk and teeth gnawing at your heels
You're so caught up it drags you down
I'd do anything to get you out
I’d chew through traps for you
I’d chew through traps for you
Pink elephants and white rabbits
Take a little pill, take away the sadness
Crying for help while you cover your mouth
Pink elephants and white rabbits
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
I’m hunting with hounds until you come down
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
I’d chew through traps for you
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
I’d chew through traps for you
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit
Lost you to the high, lost you to the habit

Medellín
03:43
|

I see you there on the corner
I know it’s just a memory
But I cannot stare any longer
‘Cause you're no longer looking back at me
You never were one for talking
We found some peace in silencing
But no amount of pausing
Could prepare me for this deeper quieting
And in the night you held me closely
And wrapped the sheets around my feet
I was awake though you never noticed
I was watching you watch over me
You can’t escape from the moment
It just keeps happening
But if I let my mind go then
For a moment we are back in Medellín

Northern Lights

I just want to joke around
Kiss your mouth in the basement of your parents’ house
But there’s only photos now
And videos of you dancing with your best friend’s mom
We had the same dream at the same damn time
You loved that song, listened every night
I miss your oval azure eyes
And how they calmed me down when I’d start to cry
You were so far gone
Hardly recognized you
And now that you’re gone
Well I see you all the time
In the memories flashing through my mind
You’re flickering like the northern lights
I’d give anything to turn back time
Begin again before my life
Without you, without you
You were fine and I was freaking out
Lost at night in an unfamiliar town
As the rain came pouring down
You held me tight on the floor of an old schoolhouse
I wish that had been enough
Didn’t matter if we messed it up
Oh we’d just laugh it off
We were young and dumb, we were young and in love
You were so far gone
Hardly recognized you
And now that you’re gone
Well I see you all the time
In the memories flashing through my mind
You’re flickering like the northern lights
I’d give anything to turn back time
Begin again before my life
Without you, without you
Without you, without you

Nosebleed Seats

When you coming back down darlin’ from the nosebleed seats?
You’ve got another thing coming thinkin' it’s gonna be easy
When you're up so high, it wears you down
You traded one cheap ticket for your crown
Big man on campus has the nastiest habits
The longer the trip, the heavier the baggage
You loved the spotlight, how it shined on you
But they rolled the credits, ‘cause you missed your cue
But I’m gonna love you long after the light has left the
I’m gonna love you long after the light has left the room
When you gonna give up playing all your greatest hits?
You’re always one ovation from calling it quits
But they never applaud loud enough
You're getting older, but you're not growing up
Big man on campus has the nastiest habits
The longer the trip, the heavier the baggage
You loved the spotlight, how it shined on you
But they rolled the credits, ‘cause you missed your cue
But I’m gonna love you long after the light has left the
I’m gonna love you long after the light has left the room
When you coming back down darlin’ from the nosebleed seats?
When you coming back down darlin’ from the nosebleed seats?
When you coming back down darlin’ from the nosebleed seats?
You’ve got another thing coming thinkin' it’s gonna be easy

Islands
02:50

Six years later and I still feel the same way as I did
Can’t fall apart any harder than crying on the carpet
Trying to sleep tortures me, but the hardest part is
Waking from a dream knowing you’re not there in the morning
Too trapped in silence, you made an island
Cool and defiant, I see you smiling
Lost you inside, it must be my timing
Lost you inside, it must be
Too trapped in silence, you made an island
Cool and defiant, I see you smiling
Turning the tide, it must be my timing
Turning the tide, it must be
Six feet under, and I still can’t wrap my head around it
Been swimming so long now can’t tell if I'm drowning
Satellite mind sends signals to the bottom of the valley
Starry-eyed heart sings "I’m still glad I found you"

Bag of Peaches
02:42

I never dig the distance, but I guess it makes no difference
I'd drive a million miles to get to you
You always say, “There’s no right angles found in nature
so don’t get angry when I bend the rules”
Meet me on the campus lawn with your backpack yeah and your sunscreen on
Bring a loaf of bread, and I’ll bring a bag of peaches
The only way to know for sure is to jump offstage, is to swim to shore, is to fall in love
But that's not what they teach us
Baby I could make you happy
If I could take the backseat
If I could lay low
But baby I might make you hate me
Your love makes me crazy
I just can’t let go
I never like to risk it, but I hate when it’s all business
I wanna ditch it, laugh it off with you
You always say "It’s the mistakes that help us make it,
you learn to face shit" and I guess it's true
Meet me on the campus lawn with your backpack yeah and your sunscreen on
Bring a loaf of bread, and I’ll bring a bag of peaches
The only way to know for sure is to jump offstage, is to swim to shore, is to fall in love
But that's not what they teach us
Baby I could make you happy
If I could take the backseat
If I could lay low
But baby I might make you hate me
Your love makes me crazy
I just can’t let go
Baby I could make you happy
If I could take the backseat
If I could lay low (I never learn, I never learn)
But baby I might make you hate me
Your love makes me crazy
I just can’t let go

Particles in Motion

[What did I do]
You're still part of my poems
You're still particles in motion
But where'd you go then?
I just don’t know when
I lost part of my person
I lost a line in my verses
I lost a line in my verses
Lost a line in my verses
Now I’m quiet on your mother's birthday
Wishing I could make her happy
But I guess that's the whole thing
Nothing I could say could bring you back here
Quiet on your mother's birthday
And all the promises I can’t make
Like saying it’ll all be okay
When every day’s the same hopeless heartbreak
Some broken things, don't need fixing
Some broken things, don't need fixing
You still remind me of the ocean
You still remind that it hurts when
You can’t control it, it’s overflowing
I miss the pull of your current
I miss pulling the curtains
The way your words slipped
When you’d get nervous
Now I’m quiet on your mother's birthday
Wishing I could make her happy
But I guess that's the whole thing
Nothing I could say could bring you back here
Quiet on your mother's birthday
And all the promises I can’t make
Like saying it’ll all be okay
When every day’s the same hopeless heartbreak
Some broken things, don't need fixing
Some broken things, don't need fixing
