hello good morning
well good afternoon
i woke up too late again
but it still feels too soon
takes hours to wake up
and hours to get up
and hours to eat
and hours to breathe
so when the hell am i supposed to
get done the things that i need
and so the day goes on
each day is the same
i got nothing done again
i'm going insane
cause when the hell am i supposed to
get done the things that i need
goodnight i love you
well you know i do
i'm awake super late again
and of course missing you
thats how it goes
there's always tomorrow
i'll try again
to do anything

florida
04:45
|

|
i made a playlist full of songs
that made me think of you
but i stopped and deleted it
because i knew
that every song would make me sad
and every lyric make me mad
that i'm not with you
i wrote a song about you
but none of the words felt right
and i can't find lyrics that belong
try as i might
i miss you i miss you i miss you
i miss you so bad
i miss you i miss you i miss you
i miss you so bad
but its fine its fine its fine its fine
i'm fine
yeah its fine its fine its fine its fine
i'm fine
i almost called you late last night
to ask you how you've been
but instead i got really high
and drowned my thoughts in gin
cause calling you i'd miss you more
and i don't think i could afford
to see you knowing that you are
one thousand four hundred and eighty eight miles
away from me
i hope its nice out in florida
and sunny out today
and though you feel
so far away
part of me
is in florida too
eating ice cream
with you with you
with you with you
with you with you
i miss you i miss you i miss you
i miss you so bad
but its fine its fine its fine its fine
i'm fine
yeah its fine its fine its fine its fine
i'm fine
well its dark in my room while i'm writing this line
how i wish i was with my best friend of all time

no distance
05:43
|
|||
|
some say distance makes the heart grow fonder
but no distance means i can hold you for just a little longer
and that is a choice i don’t need to ponder
i'd rather lie on a deflated air mattress
on the floor in your dorm room
and write songs cause i can't fall asleep
than be anywhere else in the world by myself
feeling lost like a scatter brained sheep
some say distance makes the heart grow fonder
but no distance means i can hold you for just a little longer
and that is a choice i don't need to ponder
we fall asleep to the sound of cars honking loudly in the night
whizzing by on the street but we turn out the light
and pretend that the darkness brings a semblance of quiet

happy song
02:58
|
|||
|
can i write a happy song
for once in my life
one that is filled with happy words
and not with hate and strife
but what fun would it be to lie
and say that all is good
when every night i want to cry
and end it all for good
i want to write a happy song
that makes the people smile
but all that i can think about
is not living for a while
i'll try to write a happy song
but crumple up the page
cause every word i write feels fake
and fills me up with rage
so fuck your fucking happy song
tonight feels cold and dark
i hope that you'll still sing along
these words come from the heart

poisonous words
02:46
|
|||
|
writing poisonous words
in a little blue book
just pages and pages
where no one should look
but then words become music
and float into the air
as i sing out my poems
that no one should hear
why are all my songs so sad
why are all my songs so sad
they crawl out through the window
through the vents, through the floor
through the phone to my friends
through the crack in my door
the words that i've written
too haunting to speak
but they're easy to sing
so i sing them on repeat
why are all my songs so sad
why are all my songs so sad
why are all my songs so sad
why are all my songs so sad
why are all my songs so sad
why are all my songs so sad
well i don't write when i don't feel bad

sparklers
03:05
|
|||
|
i watch you as you fill your lungs
and breathe out slowly toward the moon
as we sit in the middle of the road
in the dark on a cloudy night in june
we watch the moon through a whole in the clouds
and speak every single thought aloud
you stretch your legs and lay on the ground
our fragmented minds and souls are wound
your eyes are alight
the sparklers are bright
and we are here tonight
with no one else in sight
and for a moment you look
truly alive
tonight we tried to find
the serotonin hidden in flames and sparks
slowly burning in the dark
i watch the lights flicker in your eyes
as the sparklers burn into the night
your eyes are alight
the sparklers are bright
and we are here tonight
with no one else in sight
and for a moment you look
truly alive
sparkler sticks now scattered like leaves
its june but the wind chill makes us wish we sleeves
and even when all the fun is through
it never is with you
your eyes are alight
the sparklers are bright
and we are here tonight
with no one else in sight
and for a moment you look
truly alive
although nothing at first glance
an enchanting dance
leaves us in a trance
as tiny fires explode
for the pavement circle
at the end of the road

being grown
04:21

being grown is so funny
i sleep all day
and hope to god no one gets mad at me
but no
no one cares
no one cares but me
no
no one cares
no one cares but me
the sun is blue and the sun is out
but i am stuck inside
the trees they sway and they laugh at me
with sunlight in their smiles
and i try
try so hard
i try so hard
but i can't
try
try so hard
i try so hard
being grown is so funny
i don't know what to do
i'm old enough to have the guilt
but not to have solutions
and still i try
try so hard
i try so hard
still i try
try so hard
i try so hard
|

8. |
||||
|
you jump into my passenger seat
and we escape the summer heat
we drive until the sun goes down
going nowhere doing nothing
i try to sing along with you
pretend to know the words you do
as we drive fast into the moon
a song comes on we can't refuse
the paper kites they sing us bloom
oh the whole world is sleeping
but my world is you
driving past the same streetlights
going in circles through the night
as phoebe bridgers sings to us
about a chinese satellite
i sing to you a poem you wrote
i've memorized it note for note
still i wish you hadn't written it
these words did not need to be spoke
the bugs they always loved you more
and the moon was picky with her appearances
and not a day went by where i felt
we hugged for long enough
i try to sing along with you
pretend to know the words you do
as we drive fast into the moon
a song comes on we can't refuse
the paper kites they sing us bloom
oh the whole world is sleeping
but my world is you
oh the whole world is sleeping
but my world is you
oh the whole world is sleeping

for the forgotten
04:48
|
|||
|
i sit in bed and think about
what songs haven't been written
i sit in bed and think about
the songs that i've forgotten
the songs that i crossed out and threw away
the songs that i'd be too embarrassed to play
i sit in bed and think about
the songs that should've remained
inside my head
i sit in bed and think about
the riffs that i played
but forgot instead
the songs that i crossed out and threw away
the songs that i'd be too embarrassed to play
the days where i wrote
until my hands went numb
and my pen ran out of ink
and my guitar out of strum

see you soon
05:01
|
|||
|
the coyotes were extra loud tonight
i know if you were here you'd hear them too
and you'd text me right away to ask me
if i hear them too
and i'd smile and say
that yeah i do
i hear them too
i hear them too
the sunset was so pink last night
i almost texted you to look at the sky
but the sky's not the same for you
you wouldn't see it too
you wouldn't see it too
the clouds cover the stars tonight
but maybe for now that's alright
they make me think of you
cause of course we watched the stars together
of course we sang those songs together
of course we went outside together
of course we planted a garden together
and broke our own hearts as it grew
but do i regret any of it
not any time spent with you
and i know everything will be okay
as long as i get to see you soon
see you soon
see you soon
see you soon
see you soon
see you soon
see you soon
