A Little Less Than Ok
03:34

I can't break out from this mental state, I'm always half awake
I watch the clock tick tock my chances away, try and tell myself to go seize the day, but I'm too comfortable
Complacency is a killer you see, I need necessity
Take me away, take me far from this place, from the shivers and shakes
It's all I can do to compare me to you
To feel listless and lonely
I don't have a clue
I'll push myself but I'm going in circles
I'll try to change but it just isn't working
I'll just try to stay a little less than ok
Cos it's the only way I'll stay sane
Anxiety gets the better of me and I'll struggle to breathe
I can't just wait, need a total escape, get me out of this place
It's all I can do to compare me to you
To feel listless and lonely
I don't have a clue
I'll push myself but I'm going in circles
I'll try to change but it just isn't working
I'll just try to stay a little less than ok
Cos it's the only way I'll stay sane
With all this time I spend inside
No wonder I feel like I'm losing my mind
I'll push myself but I'm going in circles
I'll try to change but it just isn't working
I'll just try to stay a little less than ok
Cos it's the only way I'll stay sane
We'll be ok, I know we will
We'll be ok, I know we will
We'll be ok, I know we will
We'll be ok, I know we will
We'll be ok, I know we will

Duvet Day
00:41
|

I'm not coming in today, I don't care what you say
Not a chance
You'll take this duvet from me when you pry it from my cold dead hands
Get fucked
I just want to stay in bed today

It can be hard to tell, to differentiate between
The sort of feelings that you get can range from mild to the extreme
But i know i can't mistake it or begin to fake it
If love hurts I'll take it and crawl back for more
The look she gave me I can't replicate it
I can't forget it
I know it's tough but this has to be love
I know I can't escape it
I've put oceans between us
The distance just leaves me wanting more
But I can look into your eyes and I just smile
I just smile
Sat in a card shop basement thinking you can't be replaced
Who else would put up with this shit, let alone actually enjoy it?
It never gets easy to leave please believe me
But I know you need me, and you know I feel the same way
The look she gave me I can't replicate it
I can't forget it
I know it's tough but this has to be love
I know I can't escape it
I've put oceans between us
The distance just leaves me wanting more
But I can look into your eyes and I just smile
I just smile
I know these days and nights we spend apart feel like they last forever and we'll never share the same sunset
But i've got patience to spare, so know i'll always wanna hang around for you
Because we can do anything, we can go anywhere

Nothing's Wrong
03:03

Just let it go
Give it time and don't rewind
And then you'll know
We're a thousand miles apart, but close to home
My eyes are focused on the road
Inside my head I feel i'm barely holding on
I'll catch up
I don't know what time it is
All these little differences are what keep us separate
But we'll work our way through it
My eyes are focused on the road
Inside my head I feel i'm barely holding on
I haven't slept tonight
I'm rushing back to make things right
Just stay awake, I'll be home soon
If there's nothing wrong then talk to me
I'm so far from home, but I can see that you're struggling
So breathe in, breathe out
If you need to then shout
I'm falling apart, but I know you can start to help me to pick up the pieces to put me together again
I'm helpless lost and selfish
But i'll give it up if we make it through this
I'm helpless lost and selfish
So talk to me
If there's nothing wrong then talk to me
I'm so far from home, but I can see that you're struggling
So breathe in, breathe out
If you need to then shout
I'm falling apart, but I know you can start to help me to pick up the pieces to put me together again

Can't Say I'll Miss You
03:43
|

I quit, I'm losing grip
I don't see how you don't see that this is the end for you and me
We're both so broken that we can't help put each other together
I can't catch you if I'm jumping as well
So i'll go first, what could be worse?
Don't ask why i'm leaving or try to reverse
I'll go first
Don't act like this wasn't rehearsed
Time and tide won't wait for you
And I don't think that I will either
We've grown apart, and we weren't that close from the start
I can't say I'll miss you
That's it, i'm done with this
How can you expect to move forward when you're smiling and walking away
I won't beg you to stay
To be honest i'm breathing a sigh of relief and i'm counting the days
So i'll go first, what could be worse?
Don't ask why i'm leaving or try to reverse
I'll go first
Don't act like this wasn't rehearsed
Time and tide won't wait for you
And I don't think that I will either
We've grown apart, and we weren't that close from the start
I can't say I'll miss you
So i'll go first
Don't act so surprised and don't act so hurt
So i'll go first
I know that you would have done worse
Time and tide won't wait for you
And I don't think that I will either
We've grown apart, and we weren't that close from the start
I can't say I'll miss you

Shortcuts
03:13
|

Late nights and long drives home,
Carrying on all alone
People and places change but I just seem to stay the same
And I know it's hard for you to relate to what I've been through
But just know i'm happy and i'm doing what i wanna do
I can't change no matter what you do
I'm just set in my ways but I'm not judging you
I've always been this way
Naive enough to say that I think I'm gonna be ok
When you're taking shortcuts you're just missing out on everything
I'll take the long way round, be lost and never found
You'll get there faster but I'm built to last
Keeping cool while you're burning out
Spent half my life it seems, chasing after all my dreams
You'd think I'd have caught them by now but they keep outrunning me
I can't fake this, it's make or break
If I knew what I know now i'd do it again
I can't change no matter what you do
I'm just set in my ways but I'm not judging you
When you're taking shortcuts you're just missing out on everything
I'll take the long way round, be lost and never found
You'll get there faster but I'm built to last
Keeping cool while you're burning out
And I know there's nothing that i'd rather do
I'd travel days just to waste time with you
And when my body breaks down and my money runs out
At least I'll have something to sing about
You're taking shortcuts
When you're taking shortcuts you're just missing out on everything
I'll take the long way round, be lost and never found
You'll get there faster but I'm built to last
Keeping cool while you're burning out
You're taking shortcuts
We're keeping cool while you're burning out
We're keeping cool while you're burning, but you'll never learn

Running In Place

Looks like i'm moving on again
Another year marks another another end
I thought my plans were solid but even steel can bend
I don't know know where I can go
Things always work out in the end
But i'm burning bridges that I could mend
And building new ones in their wake
They're already starting to shake
I don't know where I can go
I guess i'll pack my things up and go
Another house I couldn't call home
Just like a VHS i'll tape over, but the memories still show
I don't want to leave
I want to plant my roots
But there's so much to see
Conflict is all that drives me
Guess I'll pack my things up and go
I guess i'll pack my things up and go
Another house I couldn't call home
Just like a VHS i'll tape over, but the memories still show
How can I get better when I want to settle but i've seen what the world has to offer?

Scorched Earth

It's hard to shake the feeling I should be somewhere else, doing something new, do you feel it too?
Haunted by past decisions, ever present cynicisms
I could be miles from here or i could be dead
Either way i'm stuck
It's just my luck
I've been waiting for so damn long, trying to figure out where I went wrong
Hindsights a curse but you're making it worse
We are where we are and we've still got so far left to go
Let's make bad decisions, defy traditions, embrace collisions
And see where it gets us
Let's make bad decisions, defy traditions, embrace collisions
And see where it gets us
I'm so tired, feeling uninspired
I'm just trying to be someone that you admire
And every single thing I regret helps me to forget i'm still here
And i'm doing OK
I've been waiting for so damn long, trying to figure out where I went wrong
Hindsights a curse but you're making it worse
We are where we are and we've still got so far left to go
So time ticks by, you can't spend your entire life locked inside
So time ticks by
It won't wait for you
I've been waiting for so damn long, trying to figure out where I went wrong
Hindsights a curse but you're making it worse
We are where we are and we've still got so far left to go
So far, so good, so long

So say hello to selfishness because I'm putting myself first
Turns out what i thought was for the best turned out to be the worst
Life is always about compromise but does it have to be
Why can't I do just what I need to do to make myself happy
Because life is short, and though that's cliché
When we put our lives on hold our dreams can fade
So let's put the past behind us, concentrate on what it is
To be young and have ambition
And focus everything on this
We won't be satisifed to only say that we have tried
Life has it's ups and down but we'll keep our feet firmly on the ground
And i know that one day we'll look back and we'll see
The hard times, the low points, they all led you to me
So let's not fall down at every obstacle
Because it's all just part of all that makes us strong
And i know that one day we'll look back and we'll see
The hard times, the low points, they all led you to me
So let's not fall down at every obstacle
Because it's all just part of all that makes us strong
So here we are, we've come this far
We won't be satisifed to only say that we have tried
Life has it's ups and down but we'll keep our feet firmly on the ground
We won't be satisifed to only say that we have tried

Not Today, Old Friend

Not today old friend
I'm trying to pretend that everything's just fine, and I'm not just wasting my time
But I can't have this conversation for the fifteen hundredth time
If I don't meet your expectations maybe they're set up too high
Because i'm great, and you're such a state
I'm done being miserable, I can't sit around and wait
Because I've been there, I've given that blank stare
I've told the world I'm doing fine when I'm as good as dead behind the eyes
It's alright to not be alright
I'm waking up tomorrow
I'm not giving up now, i'll take all my sorrows to bed with me
I'm not sure what'll make me happy
But i'll figure it out
Live out loud through the cloud of self doubt
Try and shout when there's something to shout about
Try and weather the storm it'll pass
Light a match and just hope that it lasts
Because i've been there, i've given that blank stare
And I refuse to build a wall around myself so watch it fall
And if you ever need my help you know i'm here with outstretched arms, a helping hand, an open door, a front room floor
I'm waking up tomorrow
I'm not giving up now, i'll take all my sorrows to bed with me
I'm not sure what'll make me happy
But i'll figure it out
I think we'll be OK
I'm waking up tomorrow
I'm not giving up now, i'll take all my sorrows to bed with me
I'm not sure what'll make me happy
But i'll figure it out
I think we'll be OK
But i'm getting there
