I'm so caught up in the past
Nostalgic cause I am growing up too fast
Wishing I could just go back
To spending afternoons in your basement, getting high and skipping class
I guess we all grow up some day
And I'm running a little late
But believe me when I say
I'm trying so hard
But I'm lost in days gone by
I just cannot say goodbye
To all the times things felt so right
We lost our innocence together, we each found our own vice
I guess we all grow up some day
And I'm running a little late
But believe me when I say
I'm trying so hard
Can't seem to catch a break, can't seem to get ahead
Can't seem to find a solid reason
To feel anything but dead, and all I feel is dread
And all those things you said
I just want you to know, I never held a grudge
I need to let this go
When are you coming home? Will we ever be close?
Or is that chapter closed?
I guess we all grow up some day
And I'm running a little late
But believe me when I say

Congratulations!
You finally got out
You're bowling for greener pastures
I'm happy for you
Even though you won't call me back
But that's okay, I mean, I can understand
You left this all behind
For a new start
And all I do is serve to remind
So take a swing my friend!
I wish you all the best
Until we meet again
Just promise me this
That you won't ever look back
I think we both know
There's nothing for us here
What once was is gone
Only memories of a time that we both felt
So misunderstood
And being sixteen was so confusing
We tried to find comfort
In all of those drugs we were using
So take a swing my friend!
I wish you all the best
Until we meet again
Just promise me this
That you won't ever look back

My love, to hold you in my arms
It's like holding heaven in your hands
I hold you in my heart to fill the hollowness
And I'm falling to pieces
But that's okay, I know that you will sew me back together again
I'll give you all I have to give
And if it's not enough, well I am sorry
Just know I did my very best
My love, hollow in its depth
Bloody like my arms, shallow like my breath
Held together by the sweetness in your kiss
And I'm falling to pieces
But that's okay, I know that you will sew me back together again
I'll give you all I have to give
And if it's not enough, well I am sorry
Just know I did my very best

Summer In Ohio

It's not that I loved and lost, it's that I lost to love
And I'm trying to move on
It's so hard to let it go and I think I've had enough
And I'm dying to forget
And I'm dying, I'm dying
Summer in Ohio I spent with my best friend
Now he's gone and things will never be
The way that they were then
The girl I love with all my heart
She thinks that I'm a mess
And she's right cause I have lost control
And I have nothing left to lose
It's not hard to comprehend
This town we're living in
It's ruthless to users
It's so hard to give a fuck
When you're feeling so stuck
And I'm dying to forget
And I'm dying, I'm dying
Summer in Ohio I spent with my best friend
Now he's gone and things will never be
The way that they were then
The girl I love with all my heart
She thinks that I'm a mess
And she's right cause I have lost control
And I have nothing left to lose
To lose.

I got tripped up again
Isn't the first time, won't be the last
Nothing hurts like going without
There's blood in the rig, but I'm filled with doubt
And I got lost somewhere along the line
And I got caught up, and now I'm out of time
What's the cost of living a life like mine?
I stumbled into this haze
Haven't been straight for 34 days
I mumble the words in muffled gasps
I need help moving forward, to let go of the past
And I got lost somewhere along the line
And I got caught up, and now I'm out of time
What's the cost of living a life like mine?

I am living with the consequences of
Years of poor decision making
Should've listened when I had the chance
Now I'm out of choices
Walking across the thinnest ice
Stumbling my way to the finish line
And I guess I didn't know it all
What a twenty-fucking-something thing to say
My life's turned into a giant cliche
And I'm stuck with this millennial attitude
Outlook is hopeless and lack of gratitude
So I'm calling out to you
One last time
Save me from the crash I caused
Tempered glass and corridors
Insert introspective lyric here
If you're listening, then pluck me out
Cause I am out of choices
Walking across the thinnest ice
Stumbling my way to the finish line
And I guess I didn't know it all
What a twenty-fucking-something thing to say
My life's turned into a giant cliche
And I'm stuck with this millennial attitude
Outlook is hopeless and lack of gratitude
So I'm calling out to you
One last time
Save me from the crash I caused
This narcissist is in hell
You know I play the victim role so well
Wish I was sixteen again
Before, when I could still pretend
And I guess I didn't know it all
What a twenty-fucking-something thing to say
My life's turned into a giant cliche
And I'm stuck with this millennial attitude
Outlook is hopeless and lack of gratitude
So I'm calling out to you
One last time
Save me from the crash I caused

Totally Blew It!

You were always by my side through my weakest moments
And awkward teenage times
In my vain attempt to reconnect with you
I've resigned to the death of how things used to be
Just bring me home
You were the constant in my jeans
Constantly manipulating
The story's ugly, yeah it's one true tale of woe
Messy kisses and trips to the bathroom
Just to make sure I can get through my fucking day okay
Just bring me home
What a bitter end when you know that you totally blew it all

Miss Tennessee

You've got bigger fish to fry than me
I have no right to expect you to be the light in me
I've watched you grow so big and tall
And I have not grown up at all, you said it all
You said it all
It's time to sink or swim
Against a mighty ocean's raging sin
Where the thunder ends is where I begin again
I hope Knoxville treats you well
When you get to Franklin, give them hell
And don't worry, I won't tell
My lips are sealed, but these wounds may never heal
Look at you, Miss Tennessee
You'll never know what you meant to me
Now we hardly speak
My vinyls on your shelf
The jokes on you, I already hate myself
You put it so well
It's time to sink or swim
Against a mighty ocean's raging sin
Where the thunder ends is where I begin again
I hope Knoxville treats you well
When you get to Franklin, give them hell
And don't worry, I won't tell
My lips are sealed, but these wounds may never heal
Never heal

You left me in a note you left
And said sorry while I wept
Very fucking insincere at best
My biggest fear of losing the emotional security
Has been fucking choking me for weeks
And so it wasn't meant to be
I'd cut out my own fucking eyes not to see
It coming from a mile away
You used you and I used me
How are we supposed to love each other?
When all we do is destroy each other?
I loved you with no concern
And you let my heart fucking burn
Now you'll let me have my turn
Time and time again I've tried
To manufacture reasons why
You should never fucking leave my side
And so it wasn't meant to be
I'd cut out my own fucking eyes not to see
It coming from a mile away
You used you and I used me
How are we supposed to love each other?
When all we do is destroy each other?
Some would say that this is war
Not a fucking love story

You can say all you want to say
But I'm not wrong and you're not right
You can do whatever it is you need to
If it helps you sleep at night
Just beware of burnt bridges
Best of luck!
You can be whatever it is you want to be
Even if it means you'll be a bitch
You don't know all you think you know
If you think you'll get to me, you wish
Just beware of burnt bridges
Best of luck!
And all the times you hurt me so bad
Every choice you've made to lead us down this road
I'm sorry but there's nowhere left for us to go
Just beware of burnt bridges
Best of luck!

The only way I'll ever be alright is if I learn to just accept
That things might never change or ever be okay
I cannot go on living my life with such a burden on my heart
And on my soul, I'm doing this alone
And maybe that's the way it's meant to be
But do you know how much you meant to me?
And if you're gonna walk away, well that's okay
I won't cry until you leave
Until you leave.
And sometimes I wonder how I keep myself together.
It's hard to stand up straight when the ground shakes.
And most nights, I just wish that I could hold you.
But you're just holding back and I'm a wreck.
I've tried everything that I can think of to show you that I
Am worth your attention, to earn your affection
But maybe you're right, maybe I'm a waste of time
It's half past the hour, baby, I'm running behind
And maybe that's the way it's meant to be
But do you know how much you meant to me?
And if you're gonna walk away, well that's okay
I won't cry until you leave
Until you leave.
And sometimes I wonder how I keep myself together.
It's hard to stand up straight when the ground shakes.
And most nights, I just wish that I could hold you.
But you're just holding back and I'm a wreck.
And I'm just trying to get through to you
But sometimes you're just like a brick wall
And all that bullshit, baby, I see through it all
But what do I know anyway?
