I Wanna Hate You

|
I’m awake, for the first time in a long time
I’m afraid, to find out what all I’ve missed
I’ve been living through each day,
Reminiscing about the last
It’s a stretch to think I’d ever forgive you
But I don’t wanna talk about it now
I need some time to figure it out
I wanna hate you,
For everything you’ve done to me
This disaster you’re after never worked for me,
The way it worked for you
I can take, the shifting of the fault lines
I won’t break, no matter how it all shakes out
Through the crumbling of the buildings,
& The time it takes to rebuild
On repeat, this cycle never ends
But I don’t wanna talk about it now
I need more time to figure it out
I wanna hate you,
For everything you’ve done to me
This disaster you’re after never worked for me,
The way it worked for you
I wanna blame you,
For all that’s become of me
This attraction hasn’t ever circled back to me,
The way it has for you
I just can’t see it through
& I’ve tried to forgive you,
But there’s nothing you can do
I wanna hate you,
For everything you’ve done to me
This disaster you’re after never worked for me,
The way it worked for you
I wanna blame you,
For all that’s become of me
This attraction hasn’t ever circled back to me,
The way it has for you

Tension in the Air
02:57

If you try to find me,
I won’t be here
I need a break from this tension,
In the air
I’m gonna crash in on a friend from Portland,
With some cheap beer & a bag to smoke
I booked some shows in California,
So I can tumble on down the coast
When I wear out my welcome,
I’ll be gone
I’m gonna cruise through the desert,
To where I’m from
I wanna hang out on the East side,
Where the bars are all the same
& Hit up all my friends from high school,
To catch a show like back in the day
I feel more lost,
The more I gain
I lost touch with myself,
Somewhere along the way
I need a break from,
This tension in the air
I feel more lost,
The more I gain
I lost touch with myself,
Somewhere along the way
If you try to find me,
I won’t be here
I need a break from the tension,
That’s in the air

I'm Not Perfect
03:07

Watch out,
I’m gonna tell it to you straight
Like a bomb went off,
Your hearts about to break
We knew it from the start,
And we’ve finally grown apart
My questions,
Your answers are too late
‘Cause you’re not who I thought you were,
& I’m not perfect,
But this isn’t what I deserve
Hold up,
Nothing’s gonna change
We can’t retrace our steps,
& Do it all again
All & all,
I have very few regrets
But all & all,
I think it’s for the best
‘Cause you’re not who I thought you were
& I’m not perfect,
But this isn’t what I deserve
All your question,
My answers are too late
& you’re not perfect,
But this isn’t what you deserve
You’re Falling,
I’m falling,
We’re falling,
Out of this
You’re not who I thought you were
& I’m not perfect,
But this isn’t what I deserve
All your question,
My answers are too late
& you’re not perfect,
But this isn’t what you deserve

Corduroy

I’m gonna put on my corduroy,
And my big black hat,
So I can find my way to the bar,
And get my ass kicked
Out the corner of my eye,
As I hit the floor,
I see a girl from across the room,
I get up, stumble to her booth
And said,
I’m gonna lay it all out on the table,
I wanna tell you how I feel,
But I’m ready for your rejection,
Yeah, I’ll just act like I don’t care,
‘Cause I don’t
So I walk out of the bar,
As alone as I walked in
But I just shrug it off,
It was the plan from the beginning
As I cross the street I see,
A girl waiting for her ride
But right then I get hit by a car,
She runs to see if I’m alright
I said,
I’m gonna lay it all out on the table,
I wanna tell you how I feel,
But I’m ready for your rejection,
Yeah, I’ll just act like I don’t care,
‘Cause I don’t
We are all alone
Aren’t we all alone?
All I know & all I feel is so alone
All I know & all I feel is so alone
So I wake up in the hospital,
To a nurse taking my stats
I signal for her to come in close,
So I can whisper to her this
I’m gonna lay it all out on the table,
(On the table, on the table)
I wanna tell you how I feel,
(How I feel, how I feel)
But I’m ready for your rejection,
(Your rejection, your rejection)
Yeah, I’ll just act like I don’t care,
(I don’t care, I don’t care)
‘Cause I don’t

Giving Up
02:50
|
|||
|
Every time I think I’ve got it figured out,
Something comes along & knocks me down,
I’ve been putting off giving up,
For too long
I could finally put this thing away,
That I never really learned to play,
To maybe spend more time at home,
Get off the road
I’ve held on, for too long,
Well, for way too long,
And all my reasons are gone
I could never know the things I’ve missed,
Or ever understand this world I’m in,
I’ve been putting off giving up,
For too long
& If you really think that I don’t mind,
Well maybe you should ask yourself why,
I’m tired & beaten up,
I’m going home
I’ve held on, for too long,
Well, for way too long,
And all my reasons are gone
I’m letting go & moving on,
Yeah, I’m moving on,
But to what?
Well, I don’t know
I don’t know if I could ever face it,
I’m not sure that I should ever face it,
I guess it’s time that I finally face it
I’ve held on, for too long,
Well, for way too long,
And all my reasons are gone
I’m letting go & moving on,
Yeah, I’m moving on,
But to what?
Well, I don’t know

When I see you smile, I get excited
& Sure it’s been a while, but I’m still reminded,
Of the highs we had, the lows were bad,
But we held on tight to what we had,
& With another try, I think we could find it again
Virginia, don’t you worry about a thing,
I hear ya, it’s been a while since things have gone our way
I think we’ll be okay
Sometimes I can’t sleep, ‘cause I get so restless
& I toss & turn all night, stare into the darkness,
I think of what we lost & what we gained,
It all evens out in the end,
So why does it still feel like something’s missing?
Virginia, don’t you worry about a thing,
I hear ya, it’s been a while since things have gone our way,
But that’s okay, if we wait it out, things will change
So Virginia, please don’t go
Summer’s almost over,
We can hold on through the fall,
I know that winter’s always hard on you,
But then spring comes along
Virginia, don’t you worry about a thing,
I hear ya, it’s been a while since things have gone our way,
But that’s okay, if we wait it out, things will change
So Virginia, please don’t go

King of The Lost Cause
03:04

Dive bars & parking lots are where I go to get by,
Conversations with strangers to pass the time, yeah
Draft beer & well tequila shots help ease my mind,
No hope or consequence in sight, yeah
I’m at my best when I’m lost,
I’m fucking up at any cost,
That’s why they call me,
King of the lost cause
If you’re looking for a silver lining, there isn’t one,
Well, at least there’s not that I can find, yeah
In this game of life, it’s two steps forward & one step back,
But I’m not convinced it’s worth my time, yeah
I’m at my best when I’m lost,
I’m fucking up at any cost,
That’s why they call me,
King of the lost cause
Call me king of the lost cause,
Yeah I’m king of the lost cause
I’m at my best when I’m lost,
I’m fucking up at any cost,
That’s why they call me,
King of the lost cause
Two steps forward, one step back,
No hope or consequence to be had,
That’s why they call me,
King of the lost cause

This World is Gonna End
03:40
|
|||
|
If the stars start to fall,
& The earth begins to quake,
I’ll still be a rock for you
& When your mind starts to fade,
As we all begin to age,
I’ll go into the darkness with you
But I don’t know, I don’t know,
What the future holds,
I can’t see, I’ll never see,
Why you ever chose me
If the seas start to rise,
& Black smoke fills the sky,
I’ll be the air for you to breathe,
But if the world never changes,
& We all stay the same,
I’ll cherish each day I have with you
But I know, I don’t know,
What the future holds,
I can’t see, I’ll never see,
Why you ever chose me
I don’t know, I don’t know,
How this world is gonna end,
I can’t see, I’ll never see,
What you ever saw in me
Saw in me
I’ll never know, I don’t know,
What the future holds,
I can’t see, I’ll never see,
Why you ever chose me
I don’t know, I don’t know,
How this world is gonna end,
I can’t see, I’ll never see,
What you ever saw in me
