late june evening 02:53

Staring at the clouds like I always do Staring at my phone, just waiting on you Wasting my youth, but you sure are too Got so much time, really no excuse Let’s take a second to slow down Hit the brakes, take a good look at what’s around Come on over, watch the sunset I wanna know how you’re feeling now Wanna stare at the ceiling Or do you feel like leaving I know you’re getting bored But you should try dreaming Like on a late June evening Do you forget you’re breathing 'Cause I sometimes do And I miss that feeling I wanna feel weightless again I don’t wanna have to pretend That I’m not sick of this And not just hoping for the weekend Wanna run away from the city? Just for a little while I think it’s about time We do something worthwhile Find a risk worth taking Find a rule worth breaking I’ll spend my days searching away For something that’s breathtaking But there’s nothing wrong with sitting here Imagining we disappear And get away from the usual Find somewhere beautiful Wanna stare at the ceiling Or do you feel like leaving I know you’re getting bored But you should try dreaming Like on a late June evening Do you forget you’re breathing 'Cause I sometimes do And I miss that feeling Wanna stare at the ceiling Or do you feel like leaving I know you’re getting bored But you should try dreaming Like on a late June evening Do you forget you’re breathing 'Cause I sometimes do And I miss that feeling

sunsets & drive-ins 03:44

7 pm in the house I grew up in Just like the summers when you’d pick me up in Your parent’s minivan, just doing what we can To get our mind’s off bigger things Politics and wedding rings And what we’ll do tomorrow Let’s drive away Find a place without a name Forget about the skies of grey But stories of days like that Eventually decline ‘Cause nothing’s quite the same When you leave home for the first time Sunsets and drive ins I’m sick of surprises Let’s just watch a movie Take off our disguises Take in the silence we know what the price is Then we finally realized Exactly what time is What ever happened to watching the sunset Breathing in cold air and listening to Never Meant We never got around to it We’ll never get around to it Back then you said it wouldn’t last You were right, but I just laughed Guess that’s better left unsaid But we still got time Until the sun comes up But stories of nights like that Eventually fade ‘Cause nothing stays the same When for years you only stay awake Sunsets and drive ins I’m sick of surprises Let’s just watch a movie Take off our disguises Take in the silence we know what the price is Then we finally realized Exactly what time is Where do we go When the sky gets all cloudy Is there something wrong? Am I talking too loudly? The sun will still rise But that’s never enough So that’s when we’ll realize Just where we fucked up Sunsets and drive ins I’m sick of surprises Let’s just watch a movie Take off our disguises Take in the silence we know what the price is Then we finally realized Exactly what time is

midnights & lullabies 03:16

It’s not too often that I can’t sleep But I don’t mind ‘Cause the rules, they change When you’re running out of time And those streetlights That we’d stare at almost every night Will they stay ingrained in your mind? So in the morning Or afternoon Will we go our ways Chasing the moon And will you remember Everything from then When nothing really mattered And we would just pretend I’m pretty good at being alone I wouldn’t say that it’s your fault But I’m not great with the unknown Based on the things that I’ve done wrong And that’s okay And it’s okay that you’ve been silent But a few words sure wouldn’t hurt Tell me something that I don’t know To get my mind off it all I’ll end up staring at our photos In our high school parking lot I just need another midnight And another lullaby Before you go So in the morning Or afternoon Will we go our ways Chasing the moon Or will you remember Everything from then When nothing really mattered And we would just pretend So in the morning Or afternoon Will we go our ways Chasing the moon And will you remember Everything from then When years would last forever And seconds would never end

fade away 03:43
lyrics

What do you see when you look into my eyes After all these years, are they broken And I’m asking What time is it? ‘Cause I’ve lost track My memory’s been frozen I’ve found myself Repeating the same things The same phrases, same words In the same fucking contexts Just to find out it still hurts Telling tales of better days With all the photos that you saved Holding on but just in case You don’t ever stay awake Telling stories from the grave ‘Bout the person you became And all the ghosts that you create They will never fade away So maybe nostalgia’s a drug And maybe I’m having too much ‘Cause my vision’s in reverse And my calendar is stuck I can hear the reaper in my head Doing away with moments spent ‘Cause the seasons pass, and the nights don’t last So the past will stay dead What if none of it was real False memories of gold in the sun Do you remember how you’d feel When time had just begun Telling tales of better days With all the photos that you saved Holding on but just in case You don’t ever stay awake Telling stories from the grave ‘Bout the person you became And all the ghosts that you create They will never fade away The fire keeps me calm when its dark at night I set everything ablaze but i can't see the light The reapers at my door I think he heard my cries He said if you can’t feel can you say that you’re still alive I try to run away like every other time I hear voices in the dark telling me it’s fine I’m losing all my senses, I’m too tired to fight They say to let go, and I finally might

daydreams 03:30
lyrics

Good morning I guess time is up ‘Cause there are lights in the east And a promise of a new day is never enough So today Will you sing about your daydreams As you drive around the same streets Trying your best to make peace With every ghost that you see I know the real world’s not easy So just give me a call When you need it You know that I mean it And we’ll get through it all But how do you say goodbye To half your life And let it pass like the rain On an April night Saying this is the end Of all you’ve known But after sleepless days I know you’ll find your way home So today Will you sing about your daydreams As you drive around the same streets Trying your best to make peace With every ghost that you see Will you hold me in your arms Just one final time As the sunlight turns to silence And we barely say goodbye Spent the year Trying to find my way home But i’m still here Maybe this is where I belong I’ll still see you around though, right? Maybe in another life or maybe just for tonight So today Will you sing about your daydreams As you drive around the same streets Trying your best to make peace With every ghost that you see Will you hold me in your arms Just one final time As the sunlight turns to silence And we barely say goodbye
