Fair-Weather Friends

It’s Friday night and I just finished my shift and I’ve been stuck at work all day
I call my friends and they’re not responding but whatever I didn’t want to go out anyway
I know I've got fair weather friends
Down for life but backstabbers in the end
I know I’ve got fair weather friends
Down whenever ‘til they get some better plans
It’s Monday morning I’m bored as hell and I just need to get away
I go to Speedway to buy a coffee and all my friends are just there hangin’ without me
I’ll be fine spending all my time in my room alone watching live videos

A false start is what you are
I’m teething and unprepared, unaware of what will be the next 2 years
Our eyes on the ceiling no foresight, just feeling.
We pick apart the little knots, we’re so perfect without flaws or marks.
Used to stay up and we’d talk
Now I stay up to see if you’ll call
Pace back and forth from wall to wall and now
Things haven’t been the same since last fall
I’m so far from where you are
I’ll drive there and repair the flaws that show
They’re now exposed we tried to cover them but choked
My eyes on the blank road, regretting what I wrote to you we planted our rose in the winter so it wilts, not blooms
Planted our rose in the cold so it wilts instead of blooms
I was so unprepared for meeting someone like you

It’s been 4 weeks, still no sign of you calling me, I guess you just got over me or so it seems you’re too busy
To send me a message and just ask how I’m doing or when I’m free
Do you ever even think of me?
Why are you always ruminating my thoughts?
You’re igniting feelings that make me want to sing about you
And I can’t stop thinking about you
It’s true, all I can think about is you
And there is nothing I can do about it
To forget about this and finally get some peace within my mind
At the show, you come with some other dude I’ve never seen before
What is he for?
I catch you smiling right at me you’re making feel things to put it simply
I know you’re scared to get close
But I promise not to hurt or let you go
I’m a lot like you, you see I think I’d be good for you and you’d be good for me
You take me by the hand
I don’t want this night to end
My insecure, paranoid mind tells me I’m not even worth your time
I’m scared of the things that you might find
If you dig deeper into my life
But I’m a lot like you
And I’m ready
To let us bloom
And be happy
I’m a lot like you
And I’m ready
To let us bloom
And be happy

Fine
04:10
|

I’ve been feeling low
Just an accessory people keep around
Like a friend you only care to see when they’re in town
And I know I spend most of my time away
But when I’m gone, I still think about you every day
I can’t read your mind but I wish you could read mine
It would say I could spend every day with you and be fine
I could spend every day with you and be fine
Overly rehashed, nostalgic conversations are getting bored
I wonder what truth would come out if you spoke with meaningful words
I guess I better get out of here and leave before I start overthinking
Then when I come back we can act like nothing happened between us again

Hate to Hurt
03:06
|

You are so good to me
And I’m so bad for you
We could play this game
Day after day
But it’s wrong, I’d hate to
You call my name
I look away
I’m too ashamed
You sit and talk to me
Dodging the truth
Because it’s hard to see through
We could tie the ends
But they’re frayed
And too old to hold on to
You call my name
I look away
I’m too ashamed of the way that I hurt you

Two Story Window

I look outside your two story window
I see my whole life flash before my eyes
At least I was kinda a good friend though
At least you may remember my life
When say “yeah”
I look outside your two story window
I see you sleeping in bed inside
Just please don’t dream of me though
Cause I won’t be there by your side
When you wake up
Don’t watch me land
As I kick the can
I look outside your two story window
I see my whole life flash before my eyes
At least I was kinda a good friend though
At least you may remember my life
As say “yeah, don’t watch me as land”
As I kick the can
I lay outside your two story window.

Never Age
03:22
|

As I grow older and the years pass me by
The only thing that I learn is all things die
If you go down I will go down too
The only people I've known all my life is you
Please say safe
Please stay safe and never age
I can't stand to see the wrinkles grow upon your face
As time goes by I see the grey in your hair
Sometimes I forget I'm not the only one who's aged through the years
I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused
Growing up made me realize I was wrong
Mindless angst can blind your love
When you were trying to protect me from who I was
You grow weak, my heart breaks

Blood of Jesus
04:04
|

|
Can you see me?
Do you know me?
You can’t feel me
But believe me
Just have faith
You dumb sheep
I created
Just to praise me
God and I went our separate ways
But I swear I’m still the same
Just a little less confused
And free from the blood of Jesus
I never asked for Grace
And I don’t need to be saved
Because a life without false hope is better than eternity in heaven
Go to hell
You sinner
I predestined
Your betrayal
Break my rules
Just repent
Eat my bread and dunk your head
Can you see me?
Do you know me?
You can’t feel me
But believe me

I (Don’t) Need You
03:46
|

|
Your skin, my skin seems familiar but it hasn’t hit that you’re not here
I took you for granted and you’re gone I fear
I wish we could work it out and try again
But it’s too late too late to make things right and it can’t be changed
You know all the feelings I hide
You have seen my darkest nights
You can see right through my lies
When I say I don’t need you, don’t need you.
Your lips full of shit, take away what isn’t positive
The good times, the bad lines all meshed together like a tangled vine
Of what we were and we are so different now but it’s still hard
To wake up in separate rooms and not know who woke up next to you

Living the Dream
03:27
|

|
Four weeks, more like 20 years it seems
I can’t think about anything because lack of sleep
The long nights wear on my back and mind
The bright light welcomes another wasted day of life
When I say that time is better spent away
I’m just trying to convince myself life’s better off this way
When I was younger this career seemed so much better on tv
But they tell me that I’m living the dream
Warm sleep woken up by fevered dreams
The nights spent counting sheep and down the days ‘til you embrace me
When will this end I don’t wanna spend another two weeks sleeping on a fucking bench seat
If I could trade one night of sleep to have a day just you and me
When I close my eyes you’re in my dreams
Just a couple hours of reverie

Waves
04:29
|

|
Bridges with familiar structure
Memories too hard to remember
Forget it
Apartment windows so cluttered
With our things I drink and I stutter,
“I’m sorry”
Comes in waves and crashes around me
I’m fine but it never gets easy
Some days I wish I was happy
But without you it would mean nothing
Your room I wait up all night just to see you
I’m watching to door for your move
My room I wait up all night just to see if you think of me
I’ll keep the light on if you want to come home.

Been following Somos for many years, feeling that they had an opus in them...well, here it is. Driving pop-punk sensibilities lend an upbeat tone in contrast to the grim lyrical proceedings, and they absolutely pull it off. Evocative music that's been on repeat for me all month long. RIP, Phil
