What do you want to be when you grow up?
What’s your favorite color?
What’s your favorite song?
What do you want to see when you wake up,
Are your dreams keeping me away from you?
Most of the time,
You occupy my mind.
With every line,
You left behind.
I cry.

I bought these cards for a high school graduation,
They just lay around, and I thought that I should say something.
My hands are shaking, at a coffee shop,
Love letters, what a concept.
When you receive them, at least it gives you something to hold,
Hope you feel me, reaching through the pages to your soul
I want to touch you, this’ll have to do,
Love letters, what a concept
Why do words change meaning, over time
Now everything we have is redefined.
We lost the love between the lines,
of who we are, and what we used to be.
I’ve got these memories, hiding in my bedside table,
I take them out sometimes, but I don’t know if I’m able to,
Read them and remember when you meant the words you said,
Love letters what a concept.

You pack up all the clothes
I’ll put em in the car
It’s getting kind of cold
So don’t forget that scarf
Cause Michigan highways they get
Snow this time of year
I’ll be your radio
I’ll play you Sammy Rae
Just trace those yellow lines
Until the break of day
Cause The Michigan lakes are waiting
The Michigan lakes are waiting
I don’t really care where we go
As long as it’s with you I’m going
Wherever you go, I go, we go, we grow together
We’re running low on fuel
We took a few wrong turns
But you still keep your cool
Cause we got time to burn
The Michigan trees are calming
They’re listening to us falling
Oooh
I don’t really care where we go
As long as it’s with you I’m going
Wherever you go, I go, we go, we grow together

relative
02:33

Distance is relative,
To the way we move,
Its relative to you.
Relationships are delicate,
How do we measure trust,
The weighing scale is us.
We could only speak our minds,
You are far away this time,
Difference is relative,
How different can we be,
If love makes us blind why can I see,
That three months will pass us by,
Words they carry weight,
But none heavy enough to say,
enough to say..
That you were always on my mind,
Even far away you’re this time.
If you were always by my side,
The pain of missing you subsides.
Distance is relative,
To the way we move,
Its relative to you.

When I hold you I remember that you are right for me,
you created tiny planets where you and I could be,
Happy in your galaxy,
I am happy but is this reality?
When I want you you are fire that I’m afraid to touch,
You are beauty and you take me to a place where I can be,
Happy in your galaxy,
I am happy but I’m falling into your,
gravity in your galaxy,
I am happy is this my reality?
Oohhhhhh ohhh ohhh
Cmaj7, D-7, E-7, Ebmaj7, Cmaj7
Are you happy in my galaxy
I am happy in this reality

dance around him
02:28

The elephant keeps quiet,
He’s been on a diet,
Trying to take as little space as possible.
He’s honest and he’s wise,
But passive in his guise
The shadows make it hard for him to go
unnoticed.
Why do we dance around him?
We, could be dancing with each other,
Instead.
Why do we dance around it?
We, could be dancing with each other,
Instead
The elephant is nervous,
He wants to disturb us
‘Cause silence is an enemy-hoping to go,
unnoticed.
Why do we dance around him?
We, could be dancing with each other,
Instead.
Why do we dance around it?
We, could be dancing with each other,
Instead.
We close our eyes,
While the fire dies,
And we act surprised,
When the room feels colder.
Why do we dance around him?
We, could be dancing with each other,
Instead

We were always terminal,
Denial while we,
Danced in the ebb and flow,
Never knew when we would let it go.
The conversation’s getting cold,
We talk about the future,
while I feel alone.
All we do is compromise, why?
Long months, long flights
Just to hold on, hold tight
“Meet me at the terminal.”
We were always terminal.
Long months, long flights,
Just to hold on, hold tight
We were always terminal.
You called just to say hello,
Put an ending to,
The overnight overflows,
Could there ever be a right time,
Nobody knows, no
It’s hard to say I love you,
‘Cause every time I know the truth,
What I’ll lose, when we fall.
Long months,long flights
Just to hold on, hold tight,
We were always terminal,
Goodbye at the terminal.
Long months, long fights,
All for love lows love highs,
Meet me at the terminal,
We were always terminal.

We only have 4 days,
I hope we make the most of it,
Cause every single moment is
Our whole relationship.
I don’t mean to change you,
I wish we weren’t different,
You were my audience when I,
Should’ve been listening.
You raise your voice,
I shut down,
You don’t even try to speak up,
Now, it’s my noise,
To let out.
Summer boy,
I should’ve gave in,
When you took my hand to play outside with you.
I never got to shine for you.
Summer boy,
I wish I could scream
Say what i mean just like you asked me to,
I never got to shine for you,
I never made time for you.
It’s been half a year,
And you still keep me up at night,
Cause every time that I was right,
I was wrong and you were right.
If only it was clear to me,
It was not the distance,
There was something bigger than,
The train ride to michigan.
You raise your voice,
I shut down,
You don’t even try to speak up.
Now, it’s my noise,
To let out.
Summer boy,
I should’ve gave in,
When you took my hand to play outside with you.
I never got to shine for you.
Summer boy,
I wish I could scream
Say what i mean just like you asked me to,
I never got to shine for you,
I never made time for you.
Summer boy,
I wish I gave in,
When you took my hand to play outside.

Daniel,
First love where did you go?
'Cause I found you,
After searching the neighborhood roads.
But you smell different this time,
It’s an unfamiliar wine,
Oh where did you go?
Tell me what you mean,
“I’m sorry”,
Tell me what you mean,
By it was only just a kiss,
It was only one time
Tell me what you mean,
“I’m sorry”,
Tell me what you mean,
By it was only just a simple kiss,
It was only one time, one time.
Daniel,
Superhero, what did I do?
To deserve this,
Maybe I earned it,
For loving you too soon
But I asked you a million times,
If what we were feeling, was what was right,
And you said,
Where else would we go?
Tell me what you mean,
“I’m sorry”,
Tell me what you mean,
By it was only just a simple kiss,
It was only one time, one time.
Tell me what you mean,
“I’m sorry”,
Tell me what you mean,
By it was only just a simple kiss,
It was only one time, one time.
One time,
When we were on the coastline,
You said that we would sail away.
One time,
Under the old pine,
We said there’d be a house one day.
Tell me what you mean "I'm sorry"
Tell me what you mean "I'm sorry"
Tell me what you mean "I'm sorry"
Tell me what you mean "I'm sorry"
Tell me what you mean,
“I’m sorry”,
Tell me what you mean,
By it was only just a simple kiss,
It was only one time, one time.
Tell me what you mean,
“I’m sorry”,
Tell me what you mean,
By it was only just a simple kiss,
It was only one time, one time.

carelessly killed
02:33
|

|
Even If I was
Carelessly killed,
I won’t go back to hate.
Back in the past,
I’d see red in my eyes,
I’d never forget or forgave
Oh how do we love ourselves,
If we’re tearing each other down.
How do we love somebody else,
If the cost is the pain of yourself?
Oooh
If only a few,
hear the message I sing,
At least I still played my part.
‘Cause what is the point,
Of being a star,
If you can’t even guide someone home.
But how do we love ourselves,
If we’re tearing each other down.
How do I love someone else,
If the cost is the pain of myself?

I pretended to be dead,
So you could move on instead,
Motionless this time,
I try not to blink my eyes.
Been distracted for a while,
Didn’t want to face the trial,
The jury were my friends,
You were guilty to the end.
I pretended to be dead,
I laid motionless in bed.
Wait til you’re done with me,
Don’t want to be your company.
It’s true i hurt you too,
In different ways, we compromised too much.
And after awhile I hit cruise,
But we ran out of gas, and out of luck and out of love.

cold these days
02:39
|
|||
|
It’s been a little bit cold,
These days,
‘Cause I don’t know what it means to be held by somebody who loves me.
Been a little bit lonely,
And afraid,
To go searching for somebody who will love me the way that he loved me.
Early mornin’ on mind,
Sleepin’, dreamin’ of you all the time.
Words that you told me.
Words that’ll haunt me
Early mornin’ on mind,
Sleepin’, dreamin’ of you all the time.
Words that you told me.
Words that’ll haunt me.
It’s been a little bit hard,
To hold onto hope,
When it feels like I won’t ever be good enough for someone to want me.
I’ve been a little bit desperate,
And to cope,
I’ve been lying to myself about the way that I felt when you left me.
Early mornin’ on mind,
Sleepin’, dreamin’ of you all the time.
Words that you told me.
Words that’ll haunt me
Early mornin’ on mind,
Sleepin’, dreamin’ of you all the time.
Words that you told me.
Words that’ll haunt me.
oh oh oh oh

matter of fact

Tell me it’s wrong,
To fall for a guy
So soon,
after losing you.
Tell me this song
Is evidence that I,
Am living a lie,
That I’m doing fine on my own.
We crossed many bridges,
To get to where we last kissed,
And after we went through all that,
You stated so matter of fact,
That we weren’t Love.
You tell me I’m worth it,
But that it’s not working,
And no one’s to blame,
For the separate lanes.
We crossed many bridges,
To get to where we last kissed,
And after we went through all that,
You stated so matter of fact,
That we were meant to be together,
But not till forever,
And that’s just how the story goes,
We were never perfect,
And we are both learning,
That this was a pain we both chose.
I miss you and that is a fact.
