Getaway
03:35
|
|||
|
For all those years, I thought everything was fine,
Lived in a fairytale , one that was all mine
Traveled the world, and you wouldn’t lift your head,
When I told my stories, you didn’t hear a word I said
My getaway feels so far away
My getaway feels so far away
When you said I was the one,
Must’ve been a lip of the tongue
I thought we were forever
And you were just having fun
So much pressure / How’m I supposed to feel
What’s the right response / How’m I supposed to heal
Don't ask any questions / Just take what you get
No expectations / Let me catch my breath

Mile After Mile
03:05
|

|
When my tan lines faded I knew we were through
No more riding this roller coaster, I just climbed out
I just want to drive and drive
Mile after mile til you're erased from my mind
I can’t see someone who doesn't see me
I can't speak to you 'cause you make it hard to breathe
When I think of the past, I wonder if
Anything was real or if I dreamed up all of it
I just need to drive and drive
Mile after mile 'til you're erased from my mind

No Magic Potion
04:09
|

|
So many excuses, I could fill an ocean
thought I could fix you but there's no magic potion
all the stories I told myself built a wall around my brain
lost all sense of reason and I hope I can find it again
the clock ticks the same
time goes slow, then fast again
we were sand in an hour glass
dripping though as the days passed
We were never meant to last
our love was never meant to last
you were the moon and I tied my lasso to you
so out of reach but I thought I could catch you
I clung to my rope and I swung through the night
reaching for the stars but my grip was too tight
I couldn't let go though my knuckles turned white
I needed to get to you, shining so bright
Then daylight came and the moon was gone
You disappeared with the coming of dawn

5 Years
01:18
|
|||
|
5 years on the brink of a panic attack
5 years wiping my eyes
5 years wondering, am I good enough
Like love should be this tough
The story of us only lived in my head
And now, we've reached the end
I made excuses for what I never got
you could only show love with things you bought
Waiting, waiting, waiting for you
Never, never seeing you come through
I was always waiting, waiting for you
I never, never saw you come through

Your mind changed like the seasons
Or maybe it was always winter
My dreams froze right to the wall
'Cause I was always dreaming of spring
I wanna cry but I'm out of tears
No more water after all these years
I wanna scream but I've lost my voice
No more words underneath these fears
I wanna sleep
but I’ve been dreaming too long
time to wake up
daylight's where I belong
I built a life around you
all on my own
you watched by the beach
as the sandcastle was knocked down
your eyes are clear
but I can’t see through the glass
a hazy sheath, and inside,
no soul to grasp
Your mind changed like the seasons
Or maybe it was always winter
My dreams froze right to the wall
'Cause I was always dreaming of spring

Backup Life
02:59
|
|||
|
Treadmill running
Racing your recliner
You made me lose myself
I hope that I can find her
Life can be short
And life can be long
Hiding from what’s hard
Won’t make you strong
Life can be short
And life can be long
If you don’t listen to yourself
The journey is all wrong
Being the best
At everything but
kills you inside
If you avoid what you want
I’ve been living this backup life
Sleepwalking through the night
There’s this bitter taste on my tongue
From all the years that can’t be undone

Not Even a Little
03:02
|
|||
|
When I think of you
I press my hand to my chest
As if I'm trying to hold my heart in
To try to keep it from falling out
You don't feel regret, not even a little
You always had your way, never met me in the middle
I may be a fool, but you're the liar,
promising to stay and be with me
while you were wishing you were free.
When you said goodbye
It’s like you thought that love is
just another word tossed around
Just another thing that you say

Where Does the Love Go
02:31
|
|||
|
You said I deserve the moon
I said I know, but why wasn't it you
You said I should be happy
I said I thought I was happy with you
You said you were sorry
But only for waiting so long to hurt me
Hating you isn't helping
But it's all I can do
To not go back to all I knew
And stay in love with you
All I want to know is
Where does the love go
All I need to know is
where did your love go
Did it evaporate like steam
Or did it slip right through your hands
Did you drink it all,
Or did it run out, like sand
My love wasn't fleeting,
wasn't liquid that could spill
My love was solid as land,
strong and tall as a hill
It was true, it was forever
Meant to last through any weather
It just shouldn't have gone to you
It just didn't belong with you

Nightmare
02:46
|
|||
|
it’s the strangest feeling
like waking from a dream
to find it was a nightmare
a nightmare all along
your words meant nothing
your actions didn’t exist
you were a ghost by my side
one I couldn’t resist
i followed your shadow
slept beside the bed
when I awoke, I found out
it was all in my head
I clung onto you
and felt cold embraces
I thought you'd take care of me
only in my imagination
It's the strangest feeling
like waking from a dream
To find it was a nightmare
A nightmare all along
a nightmare all along
everything I thought was real
couldn’t have been more wrong

Afterword
01:42
|
|||
|
I can’t decide what’s worse
What’s your biggest crime
Not believing I was the one
Or wasting years of my time
I don’t know who’s at fault
I’ve blamed you for so long
But maybe my mistakes led me
to be so sure of something so wrong
