Wedding Vows 01:14
The vows were said and you blushed red just like you used to before you moved away and left me for better days so here I am with no goals or plans except reaching the bottom of another bottle so here’s to him and here’s to her until we meet again please pour me another

Nothing’s felt quite right to me Since you left for Tennessee I’ve given up my hopes and dreams They made it hard to breathe I’m probably better off this way Acting twice my age While my friends go out to drink I sit inside and read While you fade away into childhood mistakes Feeling middle-aged Feeling replaced Starting over for the hundredth time Feeling thrown away Feeling cliche Like you’ve wasted my entire life I’m having trouble getting sleep All I ever do is think about the lives shown on TV and how they’re never what they seem Life’s no romantic comedy or some fucked up tragedy Even though I thought both of those things about you and me There’s no silver screen and nobody’s watching Feeling middle-aged Feeling replaced Starting over for the hundredth time Feeling thrown away Feeling cliche Like you’ve wasted my entire life

Day after day They always end the same Driving home To spend the night alone Or to call my friends about watching “The Room” at 10 Cause I need a change Of scenery I’m always acting the lead But the cast never follows me So I'm giving it up In light of supporting roles A face to remain unknown That you'll pass on the street Without thinking a thing Night after night Lights sneaking through my blinds The city never sleeps But it never bothers me I close my eyes again Still waiting for something to happen Cause I need a change Of scenery This city's just not for me It never feels quite complete It's being torn down And being built right back up It hits too close to home with me I fail right as I succeed Day after day after day after day after day

This isn’t what I thought I’d be doing at this point in my life Hell, I thought I’d have a wife But I’ve been wrong before. I’m probably wrong more than I am right that's how I live my life but still I’d do it all again to spend more time with the memories that I’ve lost no matter what the cost Cause I miss my friends and family I missing everything that used to be and though they live in memory I just can’t shake the feeling that as another year goes by I’ll forget more names and forget more times It’s like I’m losing all my friends by forgetting different parts of them like they were always just pretend It’s not like I’m old, but I fear more will go the older that I get until there’s nothing left of the house we left on Meadow Knoll the image of my high school halls the drunken nights with all my friends the songs I used to sing with them the taste of vodka on your lips the way you moved your skinny hips the person that you used to be before you left and changed completely
5.
Graduation 03:27
Overthinking things again while grabbing drinks with all my friends I haven’t seen them in at least a couple months cause they’re all leaving me behind, getting jobs, and starting lives everything I always thought that I would do So I'm afraid I'm missing out on everything I'm afraid I'm missing out on nothing With every day I age The life I want feels further away The repetition never seems to end Cause everybody feels the same just a different face and a different name and I'm too tired to start over again Cause I'm afraid I'm missing out on everything I'm afraid I'm missing out on nothing I'm afraid I'm missing out on everything I'm afraid I'm missing out on nothing And this is all there is Waiting for something that will never come Cause all I can't have is all that I want So while my friends talk I'm pretending Our lives all have alternate endings

These Things 02:10
It was lights off at the bar it was the back seat of your car it was another night to forget but I still know the taste of your lips from that drunk mistaken kiss I doubt you even remember it So I keep it to myself and keep it quiet You’d think I’d have learned by now these things never work quite how I want them to when I just want you I want to peel off your dress kiss the back of your neck do a couple things we might regret and when we wake up in the morning to the sound of your cat snoring we’ll roll over and do it all again but we keep it to ourselves and keep it quiet You’d think we’d have learned by now these things never work quite how we want them to when I just want you
7.
I know all about your secret tattoo and how it doesn’t mean a thing to you so concerned with other’s opinions you’ve never really found yourself always grasping for attention like fake flowers on a shelf I’m never gonna get this, never gonna get this never gonna get this, never gonna get this never gonna get this, never gonna get this right We’re never gonna fix this, never gonna fix this never gonna fix this, never gonna fix this, never gonna fix this, I’m never gonna make you mine I know all about the things you don’t show all the lies you hide under your clothes your parents money keeps you nimble you’ve never worked a day in your life No wonder it’s so simple to say everything’s gonna be alright
8.
Lights Off 02:34
Light the match and let the paper burn all your poison words straight into my lungs wandering through the dark after the night’s been lost to some drunken memories that I’ll probably never see again like the nights we used to have back then But I can’t stay away much less stay out late without distracting myself I swear I’ll be alright I just need some time away from all the things that might have been I’m probably better off with my friends but I don’t want to bother them I’d rather sleep with my TV the lights are off please don’t bother me until the morning
9.
Seventeen 02:28
We’re not what you think and it’s nothing against you but nothing’s as it seems and I can’t feel something towards you days keep passing by we keep moving toward an exit if we gave this more time I'd grow despondent and distant so let’s cut it off now before this gets any harder it’s not what I want but it feels so much smarter than going through our days like nothing’s the matter and issuing delays until you leave for Colorado cause you can be alone without being lonely and you can be lonely without being alone and though you’re by my side my mind’s on something different But it’s true I was thinking of you cause I’d rather call if off than lead you on when I know you’ll so be gone but when you get drunk you get drastic I say you’re overreacting and don’t be so fucking dramatic we’re not seventeen anymore
10.
Brown Eyes 05:12
The city lights were shining all around On our walk home from a night drunk downtown Yeah, the concert was good and the day had gone perfectly You had this look in your brown eyes as you talked about everything But soon enough you started to cry And we both knew your reason why I wanted to break through the door, help you forget everything Pick you up the floor, help you mend all your dreams. But I still felt lost at sea And you still felt just as lost as me So as you opened the door, my thoughts ran on repeat What’s a beauty like her doing with a wretch like me? Then I saw my reflection in the window and didn’t recognize myself After everything we’ve been through Maybe we both need someone else I promise to give you all I have left As long as you promise me too I don’t have much I really want now But one thing that matters to me is you so please don't leave unless this means nothing
11.
Diary 03:37
Upstairs at your apartment Sleeping on the hardwood floor my back and heart feel broke and sore A long night, now morning’s come Packing up my bags to go Lost again for the drive home I keep telling myself not to fall for you Like I’ve even got a choice if I’m going to An old friend, this cliche again Boy meets girl and gets a crush like nothing ever is enough But you’ve been on my mind The way the smoke rolls off your lips Yet you somehow feel so innocent I keep telling myself not to fall for you Like I’ve even got a choice if I’m going to We pour more drinks as you read me your diary As I stumble home I feel more and more alone I keep telling myself not to fall for you Like I've even got a choice if I'm going to
