Don’t want to hear it, just what you did When all your words proved to be useless Is it bad luck or is it you? When it’s so hard to face the truth Every step is breaking you It’s not that hard, it’s nothing new Feeling borrowed, broken, blue But I won’t save you from you You hang your head and make your excuse I’m not that far off from you We can so we will We only shoot to kill And I’m sick of the way you only fake it We can so we will We only shoot to kill Just know you don’t We see right through you A minute left to place your bets Another night full of regrets I don’t care for excuses You know just what you did Just when you thought you got away Now you’re lying through your teeth I can see it on your face Ran away and played it safe You hang your head and make your excuse I’m not that far off from you Don’t tell me it’s bad luck or the choices you made When everyone’s left you, it’s time to face today It’s yours to blame away We can so we will We only shoot to kill And I’m sick of the way you only fake it We can so we will We only shoot to kill Just know you don’t We see right through you

Draw a picture to remember Who you were the night before It changes with each passing hour Stumbling through your bedroom door Do you recall the things you said? You find yourself dressed in your Sunday’s best and all alone again Just like the way it’s always been Against the world because no gets me like you do (you know you do) Can we make it through the night? Pick it up just one more time I don’t know anymore When I’m sleeping on your bathroom floor Enough’s just never enough These calls you won’t pick up I don’t know anymore When I’m sleeping on your bathroom floor Sometimes I wish I could go back to when I was sixteen Just me and my burnt CD of Siamese Dream Against the world because no one gets me like you do (you swear you always knew I’d let me down) Can we make it through the night? Pick it up just one more time I don’t know anymore When I’m sleeping on your bathroom floor Enough’s just never enough These calls you won’t pick up I don’t know anymore When I’m sleeping on your bathroom floor Finding yourself dressed again All alone in your Sunday’s best With a pain in your head that reminds you of regrets

I lost track of all your days Been so long now you’ve been away Every season came and went You fade into backgrounds once again Still so far so good And I wish you knew I would take it all back if I could And I wish I could explain all this back then Where have you been? Now the time has gone and passed Eighteen years just gone too fast And like the time you spend at home, it just won’t last Where have you been? Fading from family portraits Memories I’d love to forget So take all that you need just don’t take it from me Rehearsed apologies Spill your lies through smiling teeth You’re pulling at the strings No longer bound to me Still so far so good And I wish you knew I would take it all back if I could And I wish I could explain all this back then Where have you been? Now the time has gone and passed Eighteen years just gone too fast And like the time you spend at home, it just won’t last Where have you been? And now my days drag on Another summer’s come and gone again I’m wondering, where have you been? I watched the seasons come and go and still you haunt me like a ghost Again I’m wondering, where have you been?
4.
It’s not what I want but I’ll do it to please Promises I said They’ve been swimming in my head Don’t know what you need from me, but let it go Spend all my time chasing ghosts or so I’m told I’m just not quite ready to sit aside this time But I keep losing who I am between the lines If it all falls apart Turn and see what you needed from the start I’ll tread lightly if you stay I’m not ready for a bend and a break I’m not ready, I’m not I’m giving in, I’m giving up It’s in my head, it’s not enough I’ll push it down and bite my tongue So unsure it’s what I’m dreaming of I’m not ready, I’m not
5.
I watched you go through terminals I’d try my best if you chose not to go And still you’ll say everyday it’s the same You wear me now just like a rosary If we could make a clean break Come back with a clean slate Just tell me what comes next: an apology Fingerprints still slipping disclose where you’ve been Won’t matter, you’re just a memory And still you pull me in And I’ll be here losing sleep And I’ll be here where you won’t see All of the things I never got to say All my promises fall away in vain If we could make a clean break Come back with a clean slate Just tell me what comes next: an apology Fingertips still slipping so close to where you’ve been Won’t matter, you’re only an effigy And still you pull me in And I’ll be here losing sleep And I’ll be here where you won’t see I lost myself to you again The crown you wear, it draws me in Just rest and hang your head and keep me in between You wear me like a rosary So close your fingers over me Just rest and hang your head and say just what you mean You wear me like a rosary So close your fingers over me And I’ll be here losing sleep And I’ll be here where you won’t see I lost myself to you again The crown you wear, it draws me in

So just know I take your picture where I go And every night you call my phone when you’re feeling so alone And you wonder where it went All the words that I had said, and were they ever meant? And it just ain’t working when it’s so uncertain I always walk the edge but always come back home Promised I’d call (but I always come back home again) Leave me where you found me I’m always missing something You know it’s catching up You know it’s not enough, and every time I come back home again Someone’s always asking “where you been?” So just know I don’t want to stay I just want to go This is all the time for me So just know I don’t want to please I just want to leave It’s the air I breathe ‘til it kills me And it’s reoccurring And it leaves you hurting And it just ain’t working when it’s so uncertain I promised I’d call (but I always come back home again) Leave me where you found me I’m always missing something You know it’s catching up You know it’s not enough, and every time I come back home again Someone’s always asking “where you been?” Counting states like counting stars Chances for memories pass us like cars (we both know how this ends) Counting states like counting stars So close, yet so far (it’s always catching up) It’s always catching up Counting states like counting stars Chances for memories pass us like cars So close, yet so far So close, so close And every time I come back home again someone’s always asking “where you been?”

My engine stalls I’m on the highway I guess there’s no use in trying to get away I saw forever on a clear day, and when you’re losing sleep I hope it’s because of me Do you still laugh the way you used to, and are you still afraid of the truth? Been stuck too long down here with you Do you remember all we’ve been through? Summer heat’s erased every word I swore I’d saved what I feel and just can’t face what it means to me Used to know when spring would bloom but I swore I forgot all about you How you used to sing and just what kept you awake Because you went away, the headaches never did

Spring’s approaching the times we met When all I felt was bliss But this room’s felt empty since you left and these walls are caving in This bitter spring that’s coming soon These times I just won’t forget you They say that one door opens as another one is shut I’m still just right here choking Don’t know why but yet I’m stuck Sitting in my room Spiraling thoughts of you This bitter spring that’s coming soon These times I just won’t forget you These flowers bloom It won’t be the same without you Without you This bitter spring where I still hold you close, and on these words I still choke Sitting in my room, spiraling thoughts of you And as these flowers bloom, so do you (this room’s felt empty since you left, I can’t help these walls are caving in)

I’m up all night, it’s all worth it Do you remember driving down the 5 to no end? And Norwalk square means I’m almost home It’s all I’ve known but California calls me home As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close I’ll keep you in my mind to distract me from the cold As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close I’ll keep you on my mind I’m drifting in and out again from where I am and where you’ve been Do you know where Steven went? Just meet me at the Hawk Rose Park’s underneath my feet Yo Duby I’m in Long Beach I don’t care how, just get me home As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close I’ll keep you in my mind to distract me from the cold As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close I’ll keep you on my mind As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close I’ll keep you on my mind to distract from the cold As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close The winter keeps you low but it’s summer on the coast As seasons come and go I’ll keep your memory close The winter keeps you low California calls you

Mile Marker 03:36
I woke up in a rut today On hardwood floors that know my name better than my own place and bed I think I’m over it I’m feeling fine When mile markers hurt my eyes And I’m so behind So let’s talk about anything else on your mind No I don’t want to talk today Twenty eight and not a dollar saved I found my bend in the break Over the act of saving face I change my gaze from the floor to the ceiling I’m overwhelmed and I’m bored of the feeling It’s defeating and it’s leading to… I’m feeling fine When mile markers hurt my eyes And I’m so behind So let’s talk about anything else on your mind How ungrateful it must seem to you It’s everything I wanted, too There’s nowhere to go but through How ungrateful it must seem to you It’s everything I wanted, too There’s nowhere to go but through But sometimes I can’t remember if that was true I’m feeling fine When mile markers hurt my eyes And I’m so behind So let’s talk about anything else on your mind I’m feeling fine When mile markers hurt my eyes And I’m so behind So let’s talk about what’s on your mind
