Woah!

Woah, I'm in love again as crazy as that seems
Wonder if this is the one that sticks for me
Oh, I forgot it's been 2 years
Since 'We Are All Our Friends'
So let me bring you up to speed.
November 2010 I found myself on my own again
I moved on, went back outside
Into the world of clubs and dates and oh-so jealous guys.
The first girl you met was into her looks
Her eyes glazed over when I talked about books I was reading
I found her cheating, didn't even stop, I was just leaving
The next girl you seen was a pipe dream
I had loved her since I was 15, but she was attached so I was dispatched
Before I got in too deep, I'm thankful for that.
The next girl I met was down on her luck
I just called her when I wanted to fuck, I'm not proud of that.
I was actually pretty proud of it.
That brings us to the present day
Hope you're glad I'm in a better place.
I hope you're into this CD, but more importantly...
I hope I don't come off as depressed, a self-indulgent prick who vents his
personal problems publicly in a futile attempt to maintain his own vanity
Woah, I'm in love again as crazy as that seems
Wonder if this is the one that sticks for me
Sometimes I question how anybody could
Put up with me and my friends, thought no-one would.
You hate the way you are, you worry everyday
I've been where you've been, you feel your world will never change
You look to those you love, try to pass the blame
Until you take control your world will always be the same, and that's a shame.

I grew old before my time.
Why do I allow myself to get into such a mess?
You’d think I’d learn but here I am again.
Why can’t I let go?
I guess I’ll never know.
I got everything I ever wanted this year.
I still find time to bitch and moan, I’ll never make it on my own.
Don’t waste your time thinking of life’s consequences,
In your mind, when you’ve got no control.
So what’s up?
You know that I’ve been stuck in a rut.
Been trying to find my way home,
Too drunk to see which way to go.
Everything I forgot to give was an accident, but at least I put my heart in it.
But that doesn’t matter any more, what day is it?
It’s been months since I last gave a shit.
Got to sort this out.
Get a real job and move out.
Day by day, year by year, I compromise all my dreams,
And for what? I don’t know.
When I’m asleep I dream of work, when I’m at work I dream of home.
I can’t wait to go home, stay in my room on my own.
No, there must be more.
I need to see the world.
Get out whilst I’m still alive.
Don’t waste your time thinking of life’s consequences,
In your mind, when you’ve got no control.
Some situations require patience,
Rationalised thought can make sense of anything in time.
Don't wait.

Today it rained all day I thought we would be in love forever,
I guess not the way I thought we would, couldn’t be the man I said I could.
For her it was a hiding place so far away from the rat race.
When she got home she felt alone, unappreciated on her own.
Late nights, you cry.
I’m not strong, but I tried,
To be there, for you.
I tried my best but I’ve got problems too.
I’ve got it just as bad, if not worse than you.
But you don’t have a clue, no you don’t have a clue.
When you’ve got nothing left to give,
When it’s easier to quit than live you know, that’s when you know.
It’s time to let go, there was nothing I could do, concentrate on getting through.
You’re not for me, I’m not for you, it’s not meant to be.
I have a thought that keeps me going, trying to move on.
I think about you and your new boyfriend and you thinking that you’ve won.
You ain’t won shit.
Late nights, you cry.
I’m not strong, but I tried,
To be there, for you.
I tried my best but…
It’s not the fact that I’m alone, It’s the fact that our problems are the same as my own.
I wish I could hate you, I wish I could blame you, wish I could frame you and say you left me unjustly,
But no, that would be bullshit you did what you did cause it was the only thing you could do.
When you’ve got nothing left to give,
When it’s easier to quit than live you know, that’s when you know.
It’s time to let go, there was nothing I could do, concentrate on getting through.
You’re not for me, I’m not for you, it’s not meant to be.
Seems I‘m always falling out of love,
I find some way to fuck everything up.
I could go on and on and on and on, till you all go home,
And I go sleep in the van on my own.

It's been a long couple months
And I, oh I
Need some time to sit and talk
To all my friends
Is this a game to you?
Then I'm not afraid
I play xbox every day
Every day
Bitch

Last night for the first time I got all my friends together in the same room at the same time.
Woke up in a panic, I got drunk again, fucked up again.
Lost count of the friends I’ve lost cause of my own selfishness, I got drunk and pissed off at those
Just trying to help me grow.
Heard it said that good friends are hard to find, thought doubling my vision might save some time.
I guess I was wrong, I guess I was wrong.
Well, all I’ve really learned, is you can’t build bridges you’ve already burned.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a man hanging his head in shame?
I guess we’ll never know.
So just leave me alone.
The light it hurts my eyes.
I drank so much, I’m going blind.
Wake up pounding headache,
Get dressed and I’m dreading,
Checking my phone from last night and finding out that…
It’s so fucked up,
Yeah I fucked it all up.
All I’ve really learned, is you can’t build bridges you’ve already burned.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a man hanging his head in shame?
I guess we’ll never know.
So just leave me alone.
I’ve heard it said that i’m a dead man, heard it said that I’m a fool.
Heard it said that I’m a loser. So just leave me alone.
All I’ve really learned, is you can’t build bridges you’ve already burned.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a man hanging his head in shame?
I guess we’ll never know.
So just leave me alone.

Hell Of A Year

I listened to every track on my iTunes today,
I need to figure out who I am and who I want to be.
I thought as I got older I’d become more adept at seeing through the bullshit,
Now the bullshit sees me through.
I find my self now lying each day to all my friends who stop by and say;
‘If you guys don’t get signed it’ll be a tragedy.’
The only tragedy is that now I’m almost 26, still playing to kids, that are pretty much half my age.
Whilst working a job that I hate on minimum wage.
I guess I should apologise.
For years of dumping all my grief on all you guys.
It’s been a hell of a year for us.
Struck out on our own, fell in and out of love.
It was you i was thinking of.
I’ve been living in and out of a suitcase this month,
Driven 700 miles just to see the ones I love.
My life is alright, got things going the way I like,
I’m worried it’ll stay that way.
I guess I should apologise.
For years of dumping all my grief on all you guys.
It’s been a hell of a year for us.
Struck out on our own, fell in and out of love.
It was you i was thinking of.
It was you I was thinking of.
It’s been a hell of a year for us.

I know your name now, but I can’t see your face.
I’ve been drowning in memories I left in this place.
I hear your voice clear, it echoes through these halls.
I’d be spending the night with you if I just had the balls.
And I’d be rich, I’d be loved, I’d be fine. But this anxiety is ruining my life.
I’m would wait, I would wait, but conversation it works both ways.
I’ll be alright, this just happens from time to time.
Sometimes I regret being young and depressed, obsessed with the mess that I’ve made of myself.
I’m doing my best, I’ve not got much left but I’m not through yet.
And I’d be rich, I’d be loved, I’d be fine. But this anxiety is ruining my life.
I know I’ve met you, sometime before tonight.
I’ve been going insane, now I know why.
I’ve been dreaming about you the last few nights and I think you might save…
My life’s been going off the rails for some time now, but I think that’s about to change.
No matter how hard I held on, to my dreams they all moved on.
I could wait for days and days, till I dreamt my life away.
I’ve been dreaming about you the last few nights and I think you might save…
My life’s been going off the rails for some time now, but I think that’s about to change.
I’m okay, I feel great, I’ve got something to say.
I’ve been awake for a week, I’m too fucked up to sleep.
Like a saint, I could wait, spend my life watchin’ paint.
I think before you go, it’s only fair you know.
I’ll always be, waiting here.
So patiently, fuck my life.
