Back Then 05:03
I have to live without knowing you Present remains in the past And I’m tired of feeling sad about it At a time, we crossed paths I can’t take back the things I said back then When you’re young and you don’t think it’ll ever end Though we’re under the same sky, I think you’d understand Your world is a kaleidoscope and I know your middle name Thinking the worst when the phone rings suddenly Wasn’t always this way I can’t take back the things I said back then When you’re young and you don’t think it’ll ever end Though we’re under the same sky, I think you’d understand Remember the fear of knowing that all there was, was love? At the end of the day, it was all we were thinking of Like it was planned I have to live without knowing you and I know your middle name

Sound Advice 03:21
I’ve had too much to time alone to myself My mind has been cruel and lazy I'm starting to second guess the choices I have made It pretty much rains here everyday You’ll get used to it they say The summers are beautiful, they make it all worthwhile Starting over again but it feels much worse and you need time It’s been a hell of a year and I’m holding all my fears Giving sound advice but feeling bad inside I hope someday this will end I’ve tried hard enough to forget Souvenirs of a past of what I once called home There were things left unsaid Is this what you thought you wanted? Left the familiar for a city so alone Starting over again but it feels much worse and you need time It’s been a hell of a year and I’m holding all my fears Giving sound advice but feeling bad inside, oh why?
3.
Night 04:19
You leave in the night You pack your things and walk out the door What’s waiting on the other side? Tired of feeling unstable You’ve seen this storyline Is this who you really are? To make it in the big time, you leave it all behind There’s isn't time to unravel Years of feeling small and feeling doubtful Cause we live and we work then we’re dead And we can’t wonder what could have been instead I’m a completist And I don’t know how to think about a future Is it possible to live underwater? Let’s say in another time, would this be who we really are? Did we make it to the big time? Or is it all just in my mind? It takes a heart to wait in vain And I guess I’ve got lots of time to waste And it felt like the world had crashed beneath my feet It felt like I had nothing left to see There’s isn't time to unravel Years of feeling small and feeling doubtful Cause we live and we work then we’re dead And we can’t wonder what could have been instead You leave in the night Packed your things and walked out the door What’s waiting on the other side?

Holiday 03:30
Hold on to your past Cause it feels more real than hope Your heart will heal but it still feels cold You remember things that I chose to forget I feel bad taking space in your head Because you left I felt safe with being You got married and moved to the coast Isn’t it funny that we grew old? Hold on to your past Cause it feels closer to home Suburban skies, looking for streetlamps, a fleeting feeling to be alone I remember things that you kept from your new friends They were some of the best moments we spent Because you left I felt safe with being You got married and moved to the coast Isn’t it funny that we grew old? Give me a reason to believe that we are young and we are free And I’ll open up, leave it alone and let it go And I’ll open up, leave it alone, I’ll let you go Because you left I felt safe with being You got married and moved to the coast You say “I miss you” every holiday I hope you’re doing okay

It used to be quiet I walked down your street Now I’m scheduling phone calls and asking the same things It used to rain in July Snuck out to the roof to get high You used to talk about dreaming like there was something to believe I can't admit you're a stranger Cause when you say my name it sounds familiar You and me, hanging on to faded memories You used to be wild I thought you would leave a mark so deep that I’d always remember But that was so long ago I can't admit you're a stranger Cause when you say my name it sounds familiar You and me, hanging on to faded memories So here goes nothing, if it's the end Does it still matter to you? Or have you had it?
6.
Turning the page Lighting a fire I’m hearing something else Are you being true? Been a year since I saw you last Is it really you? Turning the page Lighting a fire How things have changed and you My time is running out to love another Do what we’re told to do Can’t call me mother Turning the page Lighting a fire How things have changed and you can’t hold me down I’m hearing something else Is it really you?
7.
Haunted 04:31
If in a year’s time I am still haunted by my mind Please drag me outside under the trees Put down a blanket and leave me be I can't afford to talk this all through But I don't want to become you I am afraid and am I am sorry If in a year’s time I am still haunted my mind Please take me to shore to follow the stream Under the stars and into the sea I don't have time to talk it all through But I don't want to become you I am afraid and I am sorry Until you feel something, I think it's wasting away and there will be nothing left Then you’ll grow older, you'll talk of the dreams that you had And how you're too old for that now These words you recite that you're speaking are words you're taught to feel And there is nothing left

Other Cities 03:25
When it was easy to get lost on a train Another night not remembering What was your name? I swear I met you before When was the last time you came to New York? The lights had blinded me as you vanished in the wall Feeling like I could be anyone Had so much love but so much to run from Where does love go when it’s gone? I seemed to leave a part of me back there And I still feel you in the summer air The lights had blinded me as you vanished in the wall Feeling like I could be anyone Had so much love but so much to run from Where does love go when it’s gone? Feeling like I could be just anyone

The Lake 03:34
I guess I'm doing better than I have been Everything reminds me of something Nothing feels familiar at all I feel familiar with feeling lost It comes back to me when I try to sleep A familiar buzzing energy Frames of pictures good and sad Ideas of the time we could have had Taking a chance to see what happens What if nothing ever happens? I guess I'm doing better than I have been It’s all the same and so uncertain Drove through mountains and the rain To leave the heartache that remained It comes back to me when I try to sleep A familiar buzzing energy Frames of pictures good and sad Ideas of the time we could have had Taking a chance to see what happens What if nothing ever happens? I wanna go out to the lake I wanna feel a part of the universe But I make these rules I like to break So I can feel bad about something Cause it makes me feel safe I can feel bad
10.
I Exist 04:25
Is it possible to feel so regretful, to be so close, seem so far? Constantly running on empty until another loses spark I didn't need much But I needed someone to remind me I exist and everything’s fine Everything seems to be fine There were nights I stayed out with you riding the trains to nowhere But you always seemed to feel content with where you were Now you’re gone with the wind I didn't need much But I needed someone to remind me I exist and everything’s fine Everything seems to be fine When it started to look like things were turning around Growing old and still, you still followed the sound Lost your way chasing mindless dreams But I held on tight as we continued to sink down deeper I didn't need much But I needed someone to remind me I exist and everything’s fine Everything seems to be fine
