This morning I tore up every photograph
but i kept all your letters
i wonder what you've done with mine
i don't think i'd ever want them back
yours are stowed away
under books i'll never read
i hope that maybe someday
i'll know what they mean
but it's been years since you left town
it's not like i was counting, anyhow
all my friends have since moved on
i wonder where all my ambition's gone
guess i'll never know where i went wrong
so i'll go out for a little while
and i'll try to kill some time
take a walk and turn around
at the second stop sign
finally found what i wanted to say
but it won't change your mind
can't keep myself from thinking about you
all the time
dreamt about you all last night
it was my first dream in weeks
your eyes were sort of silver
shining
and you tied up all your hair
so there was no place you could hide
“if this is what you want then look me in the eyes”.

Matter

trouble means when you're alone
no one calls i stay at home
never once felt in control
as you go across the line
all i have is wasted time
the matter has moved on
it doesn't matter where i'm going
as long as im gone
and i won't ask you where you've been
cause i've known all along
as you go
across the line
all i have is wasted time
the matter has moved on.

You turned around
every now and then
to remind me
of exactly where we’ve been
i took the lead
almost happily
i couldn't see
what you really thought of me
another round
try and hold our ground
with every sound
begging to turn tonight around
i drank it off
in a deadpan toss
i didn't want
us to have this talk
so use your head now if you don't mind
cause there's no going back this time
i guess it's fine
so whats the point in trying now
if you don't wanna hear me out?
i guess it's fine
was just another toy for you
i'm way too used to being used
i guess its fine.

I hid your photo in my wallet
left it just in case i wanted
to look you in the eyes again
you left a note on the back for me
to read when i got lonely
i still like to play pretend
so was this how you intended?
to leave me lost and hanging here
i know i deserved all of it
drive by your house every night
see you in your windows light
i miss the way you glow
so while I try to drink this off
whatever this was
i never wanna sing another stupid song for you.

So what that I lost touch with my best friends?
they all lie and say they understand
i'm a hassle without you
i'm drunk again
i know i'm always upset
it never ends
i keep on pointing fingers
and replacing blame
i know i'll never learn
cause everyday still feels the same
and i am starting to give up
i just need to clear my head
so what that I lost touch with my best friends?
they all lie yeah they don't understand
i'm a hassle without you
i'm drunk again
i know i'm always upset
it never ends
started to self medicate
so i can asleep
i never should have let you know
i'm yours to keep
and i wonder why it's still so hard
to have any fun
or let down my guard
in front of anyone
and I am starting to give up
i just need to clear my head
so what that I lost touch with my best friends?
they all lie yeah they don't understand
i'm a hassle without you
i'm drunk again
i know i'm always upset

Fantasize every night
what it might feel like
to take down those old letters
and cut open my eyes
i think the thought is nice
i didn't wanna stop
talking to my friends
i started to resent them
for their happiness
that's how it's always been
yeah those thoughts are resurfacing again.

Eventually

About two months ago today
i first fell for your name
you said you'd wait for me
“we’ll meet up, eventually”
but now you never answer
i tried my best to hold it together
meet somewhere in between
“but don't expect too much from me”
now i'm drinking from the bottle
does it's best to keep me warm
i cant forget that you're not here
guess i'll have another one
eventually
you'll have to answer me
it doesn't need to make me happy
just say something, anything
i still can't tell these streets apart
my friends all say i fall too hard
my vision's getting kinda blurry
i know that you wont answer when I call.

Sleeping In
02:20

I'm sleeping in
till the sun is gone again
another day spent
wasted in my bed
and ill fall asleep alone
it's the same thing every night
too scared to try again
afraid that you might
so can I find some steady footing
or anything at all?
sometimes I act like you're still here
i've been alone too long
and i confess i'm still obsessed
with every word you wrote and sent
you said i'd never understand
i'll never understand
and i confess i'm still a mess
still searching every call and text
all i want is happiness
there's no coming back from this.

Maybe Tonight

Well you expressed
some interest
but to no reply
so just wait and see
patiently
maybe tonight
but you were wrong
all along
it never works out
so go have a drink
and try not to think
about this right now
“this isn't fair
they never care”
you only think about yourself
yeah you only think about yourself.

Every day starts and ends the same
i only wanted you to stay
or at least to explain
stuck floating in an endless sleep
i'm so tired of never dreaming
could you tell me what it means?
stay inside cause i can't stand the rain
you always said you loved these kinda days
so i guess it's ok
was it really what you made it out to be?
was i only listening to me?
i prefer the fantasy
but only you could know what you wanna do
i just thought i'd be there too
i'm another story you skimmed through
and i see me dead in the rain
floating far away
i'll finally feel safe
and i see me falling apart
not sure where i start
but i won't get very far
in less than thirteen months
i pushed out in front
just to fall again
so where do i go now?
thought i'd figured out
but now i'm lost again
and i gave up on my friends
asking where i've been
cause it's better off that way
cigarettes and Seagram’s gin
my sophomore year of school
how could you expect more of me
when it's always about you?
but i never tried my best
and that's why they all left
at least that's what i tell myself.
