verse 1:
wall calendar stopped in april
hot air in the dead of june
wild dogs in the parking lotand a grim reaper on the local news
verse 2:
i packed up my prized possessions
12 strings and a bag of shoes
i made it out of the country
to a place where i can fake the blues
chorus:
feeling better comes in waves
heavy weather needs to rain
and i bite my pillow, clutch my brain
i can think a lot about what people want to say
and if i try my best
i can make it halfway i guess
i can’t take it to make up the rest
verse 3:
spring cleaning got postponed to august
piss and vinegar, dirt and rust
this might kill me if i’m being honest
slo mo footage looks a little rushed
chorus:
feeling better comes in waves
heavy weather needs to rain
and i bite my pillow, clutch my brain
i can think a lot about what people want to say
and if i try my best
i can make it halfway i guess
i can’t take it to make up the rest
i can’t take it to make up the rest

verse 1:
I-85, take it out of me
where the cracks in the rearview
preview sweet relief
carbon steel can’t kill you
but you can give it a try
it was broken from the start
this will only pry
chorus:
i didn’t stop the bleeding
i couldn’t find a reason to try
i can’t remember nothing
but all the time thats passing me by
verse 2:
2,000 miles in an effigy
building me up for the revelry
burn it all down, let the salt seep
history rhymes before history speaks
chorus:
i didn’t stop the bleeding
i couldn’t find a reason to try
i can’t remember nothing
but all the time thats passing me by
coda:
it was broken from the start

i like to sit on my couch
i wish you’d sit on my couch with me
i’d drink a bottle of something

we’d watch a hour long video
about metal gear solid 4
i never played that game before

who are you now
royally stomping in puddles
real deal pond jumping clown
verse 3:
i’d like to be in your video
i’d like to be in your room
i’d take the sand in my sneakers
before i would take a moment away from you
chorus:
who am i fooling
who are you now
royally stomping in puddles
real deal pond jumping clown

verse 1:
crossed that bridge too many times
heart like bait up on my line
i’ve dropped my picket sign
and you say that i’m a fool to be this way
it’s kinda hard to see it straight
chorus:
well i’ve been waiting all day
for a moment to suffer
and i’ve been waiting all night
for a moment to hold you
and i’ve been waiting my life
for a little of something more
well i’ve been waiting all day
for a moment to suffer
and i’ve been waiting all night
for a moment to hold you
and i’ve been waiting my life
for a little of something more
verse 2:
fighting for a nice word to hide in
running from a tight pair of eyelids
digging through my coat for my silence
prechorus:
i am seeing to the other side
and i know that i’ve
i’ve been running from my other life and i can’t keep
chorus:
waiting all day
for a moment to suffer
and waiting all night
for a moment to hold you
and waiting my life
for a little of something more
well i’ve been waiting all day
for a moment to suffer
and i’ve been waiting all night
for a moment to hold you
and i’ve been waiting my life
for a little of something more
bridge:
when i die
remember me in phases in the sky
absorbing in my room reflecting light
i can’t be who i tried
eat my heart out if you don’t mind
on fours outside to the sky screaming
chorus:
well i’ve been waiting all day
for a moment to suffer
and i’ve been waiting all night
for a moment to hold you
and i’ve been waiting my life
for a little of something more

verse 1:
you held my arm
i didn’t wanna know
how we got so far
and where’s there to go
but we carry on
‘till we’re filled with smoke
chorus:
clouds are falling on our rooftop, rooftop
these days its getting harder to stop, to stop
feeling stuck inside of you
my heart is stuck inside of you
verse 2:
keep on coming, more
lay me on the floor
kick my sides until i’m bleeding
i don’t know what for
but i step back
everytime i’m in right place
but the wrong time
even then i can’t deny it
bridge:
i’ve been losing myself
i’ve been losing myself
can you give me your help?
can you give me your help?
i’ve been losing myself
i’ve been losing myself
chorus:
clouds are falling on our rooftop, rooftop
these days its getting harder to stop, to stop
feeling stuck inside of you
my heart is stuck inside of you
outro:
i didn’t wanna know
where’s there to go?
