Past Life 02:34
PAST LIFE It’s not in the cards But it’s written in the stars The red string of fate I keep letting slip away If I only knew If I knew what to say If I could only do What I said I’d do yesterday You know in a past life I had this all figured out And you know in a past life I wouldn’t be dreaming out loud And on the full moon I knew what I had to do Put the candle to the flame But smoke got in my way If I only knew If I knew what to say If I could only do What I said I’d do yesterday You know in a past life I had this all figured out And you know in a past life I wouldn’t be dreaming out loud You know in a past life I had this all figured out And you know in a past life I wouldn’t be dreaming out loud

Crashing Down I can make you feel A little less lonely And I can stay with you while The stars fall to our feet I’m holding back I hold my tongue I’d rather hold you As our worlds Come crashing down, down down Come crashing down, down down I’m holding back I hold my tongue I’d rather hold you As our worlds Come crashing down, down down Come crashing down, down down

Bandaid on a Broken Heart It’s been two weeks too long I keep hearing this song And thinking of you Are you thinking of me? I’m losing sleep over what you said just last week I’m thinking of you Are you thinking of me? Bandaid on a broken heart It’s still bleeds, it’s still bleeding So you know, don’t get me started I’m barely, barely breathing Let’s kiss until our lips fall off Let’s make pretend we are in love Is this the way you wanna go? Crying on the couch now Let’s make pretend this was enough It’s been two weeks too long I keep hearing this song And thinking of you Are you thinking of me? I think they’re wrong, my friends say I should just move on I’m thinking of you Are you thinking of me? Bandaid on a broken heart It’s still bleeds, it’s still bleeding So you know, don’t get me started I’m barely, barely breathing Let’s kiss until our lips fall off Let’s make pretend we are in love Is this the way you wanna go? Crying on the couch now Let’s make pretend this was enough Let’s kiss until our lips fall off Let’s make pretend we are in love Is this the way you wanna go? Crying on the couch now Let’s make pretend this was enough

I Live in a Dream I live in a dream Except I can’t sleep With lights off anymore And why I’m pretty sure It’s just the clothes on the chair Feel like someone’s standing there And I can’t shake the feeling My mind is reeling And I know I took too much And I know I took too much And I know I took too much I know I took too much I live in a dream I live in a dream

Good as Gone 03:03
Good as Gone Well sun moves through trees like glitter I look in the mirror and everything’s clearer That I’ve been trapped in this body for far too long Only free in my song So anyway, I don’t wanna stick around in this town Any longer than I need to get my feet back on the ground So when I touch base, with outer space I’m good as gone, I’m good as gone And my friends say they love me They ask me to hold on one more day But tomorrow never seems to come And I’m just wasting away… So anyway, I don’t wanna stick around in this town Any longer than I need to get my feet back on the ground So when I touch base, with outer space I’m good as gone, I’m good as gone The thought of letting go Is easier and so I’ll be on my way Today… Don’t ask me to stay Please. So anyway, I don’t wanna stick around in this town Any longer than I need to get my feet back on the ground So when I touch base, with outer space I’m good as gone, I’m good as gone

The Year Things Will Change You tell me to breathe It’s hard when you don’t see It’s hard for me to get through It's hard to talk to you It’s hard to be alone It’s hard to always roam It’s hard to never have a place And never call it home And this could be the year where everything will change Or this could be the year where everything stays the same...

The Place Your Heart Ran off To I still feel you near washing out the blood on your Hands that take and take and never give back I knew you were capable of running Where I thought there was a soul, I found nothing But I swear I remember golden light, all around you And I tried, I tried to make it right but you said not tonight I’ll look for your eyes until I find The place your heart ran off to baby I’ll look for your eyes until I find The place your heart ran off to baby Will you wait for me there? I can feel you far away, still hiding the person you’ve Become the very thing you sought to destroy Please lie through your teeth, keep me believing That there might be something left worth grieving Cause I swear I remember golden light, all around you And I tried, I tried to make it right but you said not tonight I’ll look for your eyes until I find The place your heart ran off to baby I’ll look for your eyes until I find The place your heart ran off to baby I’ll look for your eyes until I find The place your heart ran off to baby Will you wait for me there?

How To Swim 03:15
How To Swim Walking down Commonwealth With a couple of our good friends And it had to rain cause that’s how Love stories begin and end You had my heart that night Though I can’t tell you why You never asked for it But it’s nice to hear from you Nice to breathe your fresh air after sinking so low I’m still not sure how to swim Barely staying afloat, afloat I told you how I really feel Somewhere in a dream last night You stepped on my bleeding heart but Everything will be alright I sealed my heart that night Though I can’t tell you why I never asked for this But it’s still nice to hear from you Nice to breathe your fresh air after sinking so low I’m still not sure how to swim Barely staying afloat, afloat But it’s nice to hear from you Nice to breathe your fresh air after sinking so low I’m still not sure how to swim Barely staying afloat, afloat Afloat

White Noise 03:20
White Noise In the dead of night Not a whisper or a soul Girl your head’s not right You try to get a hold But now I know You were looking for a way out And in the white noise I miss you call out I need you here now My time has run out I am fading There’s nothing left Stitch up my chest please, I ripped my heart out You gave all the signs But I didn’t catch them, no I wasn’t there in time I left you all alone I should have known You were looking for a way out And in the white noise I miss you call out I need you here now My time has run out I am fading There’s nothing left Stitch up my chest please, I ripped my heart out

Waging Wars 03:30
Waging Wars Wish you could see into my heart So you could see how sorry I was Plans don’t always go the way we want them to I didn’t know that meant I’d lose you Promise me you won’t go waging wars On yourself and everyone you love Try not to weaponize your sweet nothings They mean nothing Plans don’t always go the way we want them to I didn’t know that meant I’d lose you Promise me you won’t go waging wars With yourself and everyone you love Try not to weaponize your sweet nothings They mean nothing Promise you won’t go waging war With yourself not anymore Promise you’ll see the light Promise you’ll be alright

Stars I Cannot See No news is good news Is as good as it gets these days Just strolling down empty streets And floating through a haze And it won’t stop raining Though I’m not complaining I’m just tired of wishing on Stars I cannot see
