TIme is not real. But if it was, this would be bad timing.

It's not the distance, it's the little things that are keeping us apart

And it's the big things keeping us from the little things

And it's the past keeping the big things in the present

And it's our pride keeping our past quiet

and the silence could be broken

but it won't

Be careful what you wish for

I secretly wanted you to

I secretly wanted you too

My mom thought you were a hobo digging through the garbage.

Thankyou for making it easier to listen

because every country has misunderstood middle class white boys that can only express their feelings through songs.

and it could not make me happier.

If It Kills Me

This place is beautiful
and you are so distant
It sounds so familar
like laying on the ballroom floor
but we did it just for the attention
or did we?

are you awake
are you alive
can you feel
can you heal
can you save
can you stay
I want it all
I want to give it all away

In these places that we've come to fear the most
I want you to come with me
but I might be okay if you don't
I want your words to fix me
But I might be okay on my own

I don't know enough portuguese to rhyme in it

This night needs no persuading
Noone here is hesitating
lack of words to press the issue
its getting heavy when I still miss you
but sticks and stones are still around
tripping those already down
bites and wounds and cuts and fear
and all the people we left back there
still around but not the same
like ghosts that haunt but cannot stay
we dont do it for the fame or glory
we just do it for the scars and stories
And for all the vanity we share
I really hope thats about her
because my metronome beats just fine
to all the songs we left behind.

When 4 years means nothing

This is honesty

You tried something else

Now I have to

I say this with no vindication

Truly honestly deeply

This smile on my face is real

and I can't throw that away

I say this with no anger hostility or regret

I say this only with fear

Don't let 4 years mean nothing

Your words didn't fall unheard

Let's not play semantics

Graveyards and fountains lead me to a balcony

And from up here you all look so pretty

I read your words better than I read faces

We are both victims of our bipolar mind erases

What did you hear this time that made you so mad

I am extrinsically tied to you forever for good or for bad

and this may not be what you want to hear

If only you could feel the view from here

feel and not see because we are what we do

This isn't about me this isn't about you

Im not the same person I was in the rain

and it wasn't the beach that made me this way

Maybe the picture you got wasn't quite clear

If you are judging by the words you see here

They are my release, they mean everything yet nothing

This is a revolution of sorts can you feel it coming

Don't listen to what they say

When you already know the answer

Everything that makes me sick

In some ways I'm glad it was you

It's easier to forget, when you act like you do

And as I spend nights searching for forgiveness

You'll spend yours being completely oblivious

Don't say you feel bad, we know it's not true

It's weird I almost felt like I knew you

but noone could ever get through as you sit atop your pedestal 

you were lost long before I came along

And in the end all I can really thank you for is this song.

"You're not him, you're better"

what I meant was at breaking me down.

You called me while I was writing this

Give me something to read

Words to make me smile and to get me through the day

Because it's been far too long, since I've heard your song

Give me your attention

and your promise

We've been planning for the future for so long

And I'm tired of lists, 

So Let's run away

We can start tomorrow today

Give me your ears

And hear what I'm saying

Catch the lines I'm dropping

Let's move forward by going back.

So give me your hand 

and take mine

and give me my ring back

put it where it belongs.
