Take care of yourself and I promise to follow your lead I've said that enough times to know what the word really means So I'm sorry I'll stay in this house And I'm sorry I'll leave you alone I've locked all the doors but I want you to know that I'm home Remind me of memories, reasons why we'll never be The reason you're happy, the reason I can't get to sleep So tell me your hope didn't fade I know that I took it away I feel fine today I don't deserve to anymore Somewhere in this night, I swear that I'm all figured out Then night becomes morning and hope becomes lost on myself A bird fails to spread its wings And fly with each song that I sing It's easy to see that the sky doesn't miss him at all I don't miss you at all And I'm telling my mind not to change I don't miss you I miss who I was when you were around Time's ruined everything, I wish it would make me okay I wish it would fix you, I wish it would ask you to stay I'm not saying I'm coming outside But I'm aching to turn on a light Let's pretend that you're lonely and pretend that I need you tonight Disappointment and I, faults that are better unfound With your hands and mine we can count all the times that I let you down I just want you to look at me And see what I wish I could be It's easy to see that your smile doesn't miss me at all I don't miss you at all And I'm telling my mind not to change I don't miss you I just want you to look at me And see what I wish I could be I just want you to look at me Just see me as beautiful I wish I was beautiful It's easy to see that the sky doesn't miss him at all

The Forecast 03:38
I guess the sky won’t rain today I guess I’ll go outside I guess I’ll change my clothes for you I guess you’ll keep me dry I’ll wait for stormy weather to call you in And take your hand Does it rain in California I’ll wait for stormy weather to catch a cold So capture me We’ll never check the forecast There’s sunny skies passing through my bedroom The sun and I I guess the best that I can do Is tell myself I’m good for you If it’s the best that I can say I wish you wouldn’t go away I’ll wait for stormy weather to watch you rise Then set again Upset again I’ll wait for stormy weather to change my mind So change with me Don’t look out the window There’s different times passing through my bedroom And I’m not mine So keep me cold and long for California The curtain’s closed The forecast says I’m happy

We never left our house to see the city We looked up at the sky and felt inside We finished every book we never started Because failure never comes if you never try The words of the good king aren’t lost till we’re looking So dream and pretend you remember The books that were burning aren’t gone if we’re learning The things that we’ve done, the moments we’ll live again We never asked another for directions There never was a straighter line to walk We never told another soul we’re empty Because you never have to tell if you never talk We’re happily trapped in this change that won’t happen We’re hoping it’s still life in motion So tell me your silence can mean we don’t want this I can’t hate myself and act like I love you So cover my eyes I’m not ready to let this go Give me some time I’m sure I’ll be home again from nine to five So let me go This wall seems familiar and lost to the winter So scratch all the paint off my body Without your engravings my life’s not worth saving My life’s not worth saving My life’s not worth saving

Snapshot 02:30
On a desolate country highway Forgotten fireworks for god inside of her So swallow a shooting star Or swallow me whole As if I were beautiful As if I were strong As if I were young again So god please empty me Of my wallowing soul My art is broke again It fell off the wall So stitch my picture frame Or staple me closed As if I were colourful As if I were yours Make me good again Pretend that I'm old Pretend that I'm desperate Pretend that I'm wrong Make me good again

Novella 05:53
I guess forever just got a lot shorter I miss the sun I am turning a corner to find a dead end I won't turn around It seems like each morning I'm considering a change I'm not comfortable It seems like each morning I'm faking taking aim At my own worst obstacle I'll be quiet If you're quiet I'll be quiet I won't make a sound Take me away So I don't need to know myself And then ask me to stay As full as I feel there's always someone else I walk through every exit I find I am not entering I wish I had left without saying goodbye I have been gone too long If I fall in the forest when no one is around Will you be listening If I lose my direction and forget to cut you down Will you be listening Are my problem Your problems Are my problems The reason I said I'm not feeling unwell Take me away So I don't need to know myself And then ask me to stay Could I ever mean anything to anyone else I'm too slow to be still fast asleep Each morning I'm brought back to myself I'm too scared to be not on my own So while you dream of him I hope you know I'm thankful I'll be quiet If you're quiet I'll be quiet Take me away My heart's not enough and I'm not okay You're so far away I miss you and you and you Take me away I think that you're fine and I think I'm the same And now that you've changed I need to mean anything to anyone but you
