31 Train

I caught the 31 train
I started going my way
I thought about all the things
That are making me stay
I’m working hard til I’m drained
Live my life in a day
I fight around fallen kings
That are trying to stay so relevant
Am I one of them yet?
So prevalent
There’s no safer bet
I’ll be your friend but I can’t be your lover
I’ll lend my hand but I’ll dance with another
If nothing can bring our two paths together
Then we can pretend to be something better
A friendship renewed
A lifestyle reviewed
Conscious but so unkind
You just changed up the mood
My thoughts have been skewed
Negating every pew
My options are now a thing
Still with the thoughts of you, so relevant
Can’t they just leave me yet
So prevalent
There’s no safer bet
I’ll be your friend but I can’t be your lover
I’ll lend my hand but I’ll dance with another
If nothing can bring our two paths together
Then we can pretend to be something better
Got pretty good at predicting the weather
Thought anything that I said would be clever
Maybe someday we’ll have something to sever
And we can pretend to be something better

Falling short each time
I don’t know why I don’t have pride to think about it
I could just sit there pouting and doubting about
Crawling to the line while in my prime
I’m in my head to be surrounded
To be everywhere that’s crowded, soon I’m grounded
Somedays I wanna be alone but I don’t know why
Some ways I feel wrong for stepping into your life
Somehow I’ll work it out, it’s all inclusive
Somewhere we’ll find our shadows so elusive
Calling good deeds crime
I won’t let you pry, I don’t have time to be around it
I could just sit here gloating and boasting about
How I kept face, I feel so fake
We were about to hold each other under water
Hope you feel better living without me
Somedays I wanna be alone but I don’t know why
Some ways I feel wrong for stepping into your life
Somehow I’ll work it out, it’s all inclusive
Somewhere we’ll find our shadows so elusive

Everyday Revoking
03:47

How can we stay open when everything’s so broken
How can we afford to be staying home with the heat on
You can tell me something but I won’t know the meaning
Can we live with nothing since everything’s so fleeting
And the weight just disappears
In a moment I am clear
It’s taken way too many years
Making choices through my fear
How can we ignore two hearts that seem like choking
Never here cause you choose everyday revoking
Now we know the difference of reality and dreaming
Finding every feeling until we go the distance
And the weight just disappears
In a moment I am clear
It’s taken way too many years
Making choices through my fear

Underwater

You can see my smile
Staring twenty miles
Years into the future
I’m not trying to lose her
Not a cry, just a plea
Can’t you please just hear me
Been searching to feel free
We rewind just to see
Who we’ve been before our time
And you finally helped me
I put my head underwater
I hope to come up much better
Have you ever needed more heat
when you’re stuck in the summer?
Going through the motions
Deeper than the oceans
Above where the clouds go
Somewhere I just don’t seem to know
Flying high just to be
Need advice constantly
Been yearning to be me
Cry at night just to sleep
Seek your time til I’m weak
Get denied, so routine
I put my head underwater
I hope to come up much better
Have you ever needed more heat
when you’re stuck in the summer?

Brake Lights
03:49

Somewhere not too far from here
I found something to hold onto
But days go by and weeks turn to months
And I can’t find any ways to replace, I’m shy
I can change your mind if you’d let me try
We can go away anywhere you’d drive
Let me check your brake lights before we ride
I can feel your heart finally close to mine
Some days I feel all the fear
Heart pounds, nothing to hold onto
With ways to try and means just to front
I lie, rant about the days of my grace ran dry
I can change your mind if you’d let me try
We can go away anywhere you’d drive
Let me check your brake lights before we ride
I can feel your heart finally close to mine
Feel it every time that you call and cry
Be here just today and enjoy the sky
Let’s erase the clouds, I don’t mean to pry
Just want to feel your heart finally close to mine
