why should i be so easy to impress? i can't believe half the things that you said maybe if i could i would forget you're at a restaurant, you share a bank account now so you're settling down and you're buying a house are these the things that make you happy? why should i be so easy to impress? i can't believe half the things that i've read maybe i should quit the internet we were walking around outside of damian's house i was cracking a joke and there was rum in my mouth are these the things that make you happy?

it shouldn't be this way another complicated conversation backdropped by the waves by the way it gets better everyday i didn't expect you to check up on me i appreciate it, okay? i pulled up the sail it got stuck halfway living in my head is no way to get better i do nothing now, we used to do nothing together and it feels like such a chore to be just ok at most we slept under the stars and drove back toward the coast everybody went away the mainsail crashing down upon my face and i'm gonna miss the way that you picked me up to go get ramen i appreciate it, okay? whoa oh oh, ba da ba ba ba i pulled up the sail it got stuck halfway

Peekaboo 01:52
okay! whatever you say i'm so messed up it's my fault like a baby i am laying on my back staring upwards as celestial bodies spin around me like a baby i am failing to see if anyone more than a few feet away is looking back i never thought that the headlights of my car would illuminate the ghosts of my friends in front of my eyes getting sleepy driving up and down the streets discount burgers by the beach we stared into the pretty lights all i ever do is worry about bills, about girls about my parents about my job about wearing sunscreen everyday when i just wanna hide away and play guitar and wish that you all weren't so far away i never thought that the headlights of my car would illuminate the ghosts of my friends in front of my eyes getting sleepy driving up and down the streets discount burgers by the beach we stared into the pretty lights

Chestnut 03:14
you're angry 'cause I met you it rained at 6am we drove downtown in silence and i saw all my friends all tucked away behind the walls of sleepy townhomes dreaming i'm staring at the ceiling while they hold each other tightly i cannot stop this feeling and ever since i came here i messed up everything i drove around in circles dove into the sea still think of you from time to time i wouldn't say i'm haunted things will never be the same but i think that's what i wanted i think that's what i wanted
5.
you don't say anything you don't say things to me at all you don't say anything it turns from green to brown to fall and when i wake up on a cloudy day i somehow feel surprise put on my coat and walk outside and soak the fog up through my eyes when we were just kids always accidentally looking for everything at the store it never occurred to me that eventually we'd need a reason to stir puddles turn to ponds the ocean isn't fun when you're just splashing around in the cold i see the shore
6.
always a stupid spiral staircase i can't get up, they're in the way-- mistakes i can't replace and i just wanna be someone my mother can be proud of, and she says she is but i just can't believe that i lost a piece of me bought some new shades but i just couldn't see what a waste of time what a way to die always just rolling over halfway i know you cried, i never tried the car broke off the key and i'm so apparently important every morning burnt my tongue and you should drop someone like me and i lost a piece of me bought some new shades but i just couldn't see what a waste of time what a way to die-- alone!
7.
they say life moves in waves i wish i could ride it whenever i am scared i try to fight it it's crawling down the back of my head killing me, it's coming back again it's an old wash cloth that's filled with tepid water and it's underneath my skin the moon came out i became a computer so confused how could i say that i love you? things were easy back then maybe they could be again i blame myself we never can be friends my stomach turns at the thought of not seeing you again i guess i'll go out, get a drink (or three or five) and pretend that it's 'cause i'm drinking whiskey and moshing riding roller coasters jumping off of cliffs in the ocean giving compliments to other girls the moon came out i became a computer so confused how could i say that i love you? things were never easy back then maybe they could be, but when? we'll both be fine so why can't we be friends?

i left a beer inside your freezer i tried to be a person and not just a shell of sadness the waves crash, don't act like you planned it you planned it you're on your way to wash away
