Long Nights

It’s been like this
Late nights on the freeway
It’s been like this
Falling up the staircase
And i don’t think that i can
Get up
I don’t think I have a reason to stay
And I don’t think I’ll ever
Wake up
Be what you need me to be
Long nights
Punching pillows
Senseless
Relentless I’m silently pleading
But I can’t stop the bleeding
You’re starting to fade
You start to fade away
You starting to fade
You’re starting to fade away
My vision grows in clarity
I start to see
More distantly
You don’t feel free
So just listen please
It’s happening
Get up
You know you have no reason to stay
And I know someday I’ll
Wake up
Be what you need me to be
And I know now that i can
Get up
You know you have no reason to stay
And I know someday you’ll
Wake up
And be what I need you to be
Long nights
Punching pillows senseless
Relentless
I’m silently pleading
But I can’t stop the bleeding

Front Porches

I still remember the summer nights,
Passing time in the crimson light,
The stars they shined so bright
As they filled up the sky
And if I could I’d do it over again,
I wouldn’t change a thing
Or ask for amends.
And if you ask me just what happened to them,
All of my friends.
I guess we never knew what till the end meant
And here we sit,
On front porches
A thousand miles apart,
With the sun beating in our hearts
And the clouds moving in on our sights
With age you learn you never wanted it,
But you can’t give it back
It’s all you’ve got
We never saw it coming.
The years passed by us
In the blink of an eye
But now we’re always running,
Back in time to save
Ourselves from the lie
This used to seem so far away,
Unimaginable,
As if we’d never sway,
This used to look so far away
Incomprehensible
We knew we would stay

Things have changed
I’m not the person that I was back then
Feelings fade
I’m growing older
No one ever stays
And I’m just looking back
When I should be looking forward
Into the future
Into what lies ahead
But it’s hard to focus
On what’s real
And what’s fake
And I’m not perfect
Was this just a mistake
I’m just looking for a way out
I’m just heading towards a break down
Ignoring everything
And everyone
This clearly isn’t healthy
It’s just not so clear to me
I’ll keep it up,
Yeah I’ll keep it up
I won’t let this get me down
I’ll get caught up
I’ll be enough
I know I’ll keep it going
Just one more step that’s left to take
Just one more feeling left to shake
Till I can see that I am finally awake
I’ve been lost for days
Finding my way out of this haze
And when I get to rest
I’m sure I won’t forget the best

And now the years
Have gone by
And we’re no longer asking why
The time we spent was wasted
All of our intents were mislead
And I know it seems like
Yesterday the sun was shining
But now the clouds have rolled in
The winds have started blowing again
And we’re just hoping it ends soon
And we’re just hoping for answers
We never received
We’re just searching the cupboards
For something stronger than lovers
And nothing's good enough
To fill our empty hearts
Nothing makes the cut
We’re just grasping at straws
Now we’re packing up again
To move
To find the place where we began
And now we’re heading up the road again
To run
To find the place that meets the end
Now we’re just waiting for the end
The story twists and turns and bends
Now we’re just looking for amends
To help accept that there is nobody left
Childhood memories are all we have
To remind us that it’s not so bad
Reminiscing gets us through a lot,
To keep our heads up when we stop
Moving forward as the weight grows
We never thought we’d have to be so strong
And now my thoughts leave when the wind blows
And I’m just asking for another chance

I used to think a lot
Now I’m just thinking not
To call you
Leave a voicemail
I know you’ll never hear
Cause we’re not talking these days
You’ll never hear when I say
I’m sorry
I’m such a wreck
And I’m just
Looking through old photographs
And I’m just
Living in the past
These days it seems like
Everything we ever dreamed of
Was impossible
Why’d I ever think
That I could make you sing
Like no one’s listening
I’ve been walking backwards
Treading over my steps
To back track
Reliving days in my head
Over and over and over again
It’s like I’m running out of time
With no clock on the wall
I’m just writing lies
No one recalls
And I’m just
Living through old photographs
These days it seems like
Everything we ever dreamed of
Was impossible
Why’d I ever think
That I could make you sing
Like no one was listening
Nobody’s listening
Nobody’s listening
We’ve been lost for years
Just trying to figure it out
We’ve been outside for hours
Waiting for the clock to run out
I’m not over this yet
Go over this with me again
