5am Paradise 03:50
If nobody tries that hard Do you still have to fall apart Nobody plays that card but you My body fades away But my mind just stays the same Nobody lies the way you do I’m allowed to waste part of my day Getting high and running late Holding on to my younger ways When time was long and nothing changed 5am paradise morning air Someone take me back to the start again We’ll get it right then walk away Never have to ask you to lie 5am paradise Remember an old friend say You’re gonna miss these days So slow down and let it play If I were you Or maybe the feelings changed Did all things stay the same Or is it a different pace from them You’re allowed to waste part of your day Getting high and running late Holding on to your younger ways When time was long and nothing changed

Drive Alone 03:16
Cherry blossoms and the full moon rising Up from being half asleep I didn't fall in love but fell enough To really scrape my knees Old lovers turnings to friends It’s a Loose cannon beginning again I’m not a run away just drive alone these days The four seasons by the raleigh airport Dogwoods blowing in the wind Kind of anxious but kind of tired I never thought it would end My mother knows I’m always alone I rest assure her that I’m still coming home I’m not a run away just drive alone these days Oh oh it’s easy traveling slow Oh oh I’m learning to let go I missed the party that you had last May Couldn't face the bullshit and the patio games Don’t need a lucky star or guiding light Just someone from my memory to hold me tight An old lover or even a friend I’ll deep dive just to go there again I’m not a runaway just driving slow these days

I’m a man made by delusion I wake with dream in hand Speak before spoken And lose the upper hand Take me back to New York Cause I don’t like the winters in the sun But I stumbled over all my words And I cut my hair but made it worse Alright need to give it some time Remind me your name again I swear I know what it is It’s on the tip of my tongue And I know you’re the one to forgive Yet still I forget And I can’t get enough I remember all the names on the bathroom wall Perfectling in cursive easy to recall Now they’re banning cigarettes From the lips of all these strangers mouths But I stumbled far from where I rest And I still don’t call though you insist And I’m sorry half the time Cause there’s Saratoga Springs You and me in the back of my mind Cause there’s Saratoga Springs You and me in the back of my mind Oh in Saratoga Springs You and me just losing our minds Cause there’s Saratoga Springs You and me in the back of my mind

Somedays 03:57
Somedays I count on you To be my instinct To pull me through A lonely mile I miss our seaside talks Milkshakes in hand Yours strawberry red Will we always have to have our doubts Hovering like the clouds In the springtime Will it always have to be this way Can’t tell between the night and day In the fall There’s some days I’m falling through The cracks in my driveway Before coming to you But I stop at the freeway I miss the easy way home And the October smell And the way that we felt Are we ever going to get it right It’s never me that starts the fight Okay I’m sorry Every memory bitter sweet I get jealous of the golden leafs In the fall Am I growing without knowing you The mind takes over dreams get sober too Will we always have to have our doubts Hovering like the clouds in the springtime Will it always have to be this way Can’t tell between the night and day in the fall

I remember when you laid it straight In the remnants of the falling sky Standing in a new waterway You held my hand as you started to cry I remember when you stayed up late Now you fall asleep a quarter to nine I remember when our dreams took shape And I was standing right by your side Am I letting you down Or is there something you found Not everything that bends will break Test the strength through a hurricane No blackbelt but I’ll put up a fight Not everything we had will die I remember when we stayed up late Now you fall asleep a quarter to nine I remember when our dreams took shape And I was standing right by your side

Monochrome 03:28
There’s a million different ways to fall into your arms again If my friends were money tell me where it all was spent I’m thinking fast and talking with my therapist Keep going in circles but maybe that’s the point of it Give me something else to try I’m bored out of my mind I live in monochrome So tell me where the day has gone I just can’t stay and talk Everything on feels off I stay in monochrome So tell me where the day has gone There’s a feeling that I hate when everything just hesitates There’s too many burned bridges from all of those younger days And I followed every river looking for the perfect place to cross Hoping I would feel more alive than I would afraid

Old Blooded 04:49
Let’s ring in our second change Take to the coast where I don’t know Maybe a nordic summer trance I hear it’s somethings else Taking turns now with a ghost You lived your life with a year ago I hear she speaks now when you don’t But you could of married could of married Deep breathing just holding out My memory keeps fooling me Cold water won't change a thing I’m trying to understand you Old blooded Slow flooded Can we figure a way back out More worry Less money We know everything comes around I’ve shown you my very best Took a postcard and magazine All these places I’ve never seen I hear they’re something else Deep breathing just fading out My memory keeps holding me Cold water won’t change a thing I’m trying to get back to you We’ll find another window Just to stare at the clouds We’ll find the perfect angle Just come lay on the ground
8.
This Again 03:42
Go and let things fall If they’re going to Slipping through my hands They weren’t built for sand What if we don’t float What if we don’t What if we don’t know What if we don’t Ever mention this again When we lay on an island How do we ever change We’ve weathered these storms A hundred times before What if they don’t come What if they don’t What if we don’t swim What if we don’t Ever mention this again Fair isle you’re speaking your truth You’re tired and you’re keeping me blue Throw me a lifeline Or just cut me loose
9.
Tell me how the story goes Can I give a reaction Or try to forget it Are we even really living? Hiding out from who we know I don’t mean to enable Sometimes I get carried Straight out of my head Don’t wait up Don’t wait up If you’re falling asleep All I want when morning comes Is a place at your table I’m just tired from a long trip in We’ve been here before

I’ve seen the world I’ve seen the flowers I’ve seen their wisdom I’ve seen the fall Sure of the moment Sometimes lonesome in the winter After all our wishful thinking Got our heads stuck in the clouds Just look at us now Don’t want to fight Don’t want to worry Don’t want to misconstrue the pain How do you grasp every moment Soak the wisdom of the rain I feel the thunder and I’m wondering again Just look at us now With your hands in the dirt You call up a friend Swore you would change But you’re at it again Remember falling asleep With your hair in the wind Back of your grandmother's car She held your life in her hands Somethings we don’t understand Some other town Some other state Some other way to right a wrong Sure of myself don’t need no one But I was lying all along We’re diving under feeling younger than we are Just look at us now Well we’re all getting hurt We’re all losing friends You don’t believe that I’ve changed I’m just beginning again Remember falling in deep In that gold autumn wind Back of your grandmother's car You held my life in your hands
