lyrics

Tell me what it was you think you missed the most
Was it the city lights reflecting off the coast?
Or my self-destructive style?
You could hear me sing for miles and miles and miles
About the hand that I was dealt being so unfair
Oh my god, just to think I'd be caught at square one once again
And I know how that sounds
But I swear to God that I'll be coming back around again...
I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time
I'm finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days
We were spending late nights on the phone
After months without a single call back home
And for a second I thought you were making me okay
But, then I took a step back and remembered all the wasted days
Maybe everyone's right, maybe I spent too much time
Collapsing in on myself
I think I'm done collapsing in on myself
I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time
I'm finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days
I'll take a step out of my mind;
Draw open the blinds; let the world back in once again
Cause I spent a summer making promises I never planned to keep
I spent the spring before in bed wanting nothing more than to stay asleep
She said, "Just settle down a little, settle down kid...
Just settle down a little, settle down..."
Alright, I'll settle down a little, I'll turn my shit around...
Yeah, I'll settle down a little, and turn my shit around!
I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time
I'm finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days

While I understand the change of direction completely. I do wish we got one more show where this album was played in full, as there are a lot of bangers slept on here. bdogz

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr

Catchy but heartfelt pop punk. I love it when bands can make their music as relatable as Real Friends do. You guys are awesome. Sleepy Eyes x Bony Knees forever! Pierce Da'esigil

This album is really 2013 but in a good way. It encapsulates the feeling of being a teenager in the early 2010s or even just being in your late teens altogether Ambrose
