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

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

Time on Christmas Eve

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

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

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
