Gas station clerk still cards you even though he sees you every day.
Have you ever made a first impression that lasts longer than the words you say?
Gimme exile from this Exxon,
I’ll give you 27’s still inside the wrap.
No it don’t work out
Cuz when you get to know someone,
It always comes back to bite.
They always disappoint.
Got your name to recall.
That is it
That is all.
I don’t wanna get to close to this side of hurt.
Got some relatives out in Texas,
Never fail to forget me all the time.
I was planning going out to visit,
I don’t if I’m gonna get a chance.

If I couldn’t have you to myself anymore,
What good am I for?
There are no guarantees,
Except when you’re saying goodbye.
Upon the moment you departed from me,
Devastation came to take your place but you were not forgot.
Take away your kiss gonna miss you today.
Well it happens anyway
If I couldn’t have you to myself anymore,
What good am I for.
If I never had you to myself anymore,
What good am I for?

It’s all in the day that you make.
If all of the pieces go unused,
Mistaken for something to stay.
You pile them up to start barricading in.
While I’m waiting on the world to slip my mind,
I don’t carry it around me always.
Color it in some time with what oyu find you like.
You’re vision-bored.
I’m just waiting on the world to be out in front,
Should be making it clear just what I want.
Should try to be fearless if I could.
Instead I’m just going to bed and staying in.
It’s all in the work that you did
To make you feel somewhat of value.
If ever your heart starts to cave,
Try and fail, and try and fail again.

Whats The Matter

Catapult your records to charts,
For the things that you never would have told anyone.
Richards gonna cut all his ties,
For the day that he leaves you has now arrived.
Why you got to be so frail?
Well you’re ten times weaker than the average male.
Why’s it social suicide
To say how you feel when you’re feeling alright.
And when you run out of things to talk about between yourselves,
Does it hurt to stay?
The view across your dinner out getting cold is so serene.
Self-doubt asks him “What is it that she sees in me?”
She stares back with regret for where she’s at.
To start again would be a dream,
For the life she’s never seen is too far gone.
So what’s the problem with being alone?
Tell me how you feel sometimes
And don’t you wait till it’s too late.
For the record I can take
What it is you have to say.
All the while
we sit and stare,
Pretend to care bout what we did.
Tell me how you feel sometimes
Before it hurts to stay.
When they start again,
They might find out who they are meant for.
They might find that there’s no one out there for them anyway.
So you catapult your records to charts,
For the things that you never would have told anyone.
I think it’s time to cut all your ties,
For the day that he’s leaving has now arrived.

Serious Moments

Born with a smile,
In the river of denial.
You were bare
Sending shivers down the spines of those who’re there.
Built the courage to shoot my shot.
Instead of asking, I forgot.
As serious as I could be,
I could’ve been a clown.
Still sound.
As terrifying as I am I tried to steal your heart.
Never really had a chance but still it hurts to know.
Which way is irrelevant to the position that I’m in.
Out looking for validation.
Though I don’t got it yet,
I’m gonna find out there are some things you don’t get.
Look at the sky.
Ask you questions, tell me why.
Wonder where we could be,
Who I am and what’s the need.
Like an omen on its leash,
You left me out there.
Never free.
If you come out to feed me,
Just don’t ever leave.

Exterior of a room
Decorate the walls
Credit to the tears
Ruminating thoughts and expressions I don’t really feel.
Crossing my bridges when I get to them.
Who’s striking from above?
Jettison the bomb.
Don’t know what they want.
Don’t want you to borrow the burden.
Bad on the lawn
Lost in a land that I had locked on portrait mode.
Even though we seem happy,
We’re so happy.
Haven’t really held you close in a really long time.
Haven’t really held someone in a really long time.
Call you from a room away,
I like you on the phone.
If all you do is let me stay an island in a box.
Exterior of a room
Decorate the walls
Credit to the tears
Ruminating thoughts and expressions I don’t really feel.
Stand and attack
Stand and relax
People come and people go,
Like you oughta know.
Silent as someone that doesn’t wanna
Talk to me lately.
Talks to my friends,
Hear them around me cuz the walls are pretty thin.
Do you ever seem to notice how you make me feel?
Do you stop to think about me when I’m not around?
Lost enough.
Nothing left to shed but tears,
I’m breaking down.
And I’m sorry for what I did.
