I’ve been burned like a candle at both ends crumbling
On the phone with an old friend, fumbling for the right things to say Whenever they ask me about my day
Spin it again so I can run it all back
On the offensive under attack
Cognitive dissonance, surfing the sibilance
That’s not a theory, I’m just getting weary
Of the same sad songs
I’ve been waiting for this moment

Tune me out again, call me cute again
But I’m dumb as fuck & scared to open up
You said “okay for sure,” & bolted to the door
Baby buoyancy, just say you’re sick of me
I’ll come around & figure it out
Text me tomorrow, dark clouds will follow
I get so caught up in the past tense
I can’t see what’s there in the distance
If this is all I get then what’ll happen next?
Fill my head with promises, stoke my ego slowly we go
Dude like what the fuck? (what the fuck?)
‘Kay I’ve seen enough (I think I’ve seen enough)
If this is how you treat your friends,
Knife to meet you slowly we go
(My world keeps on spinning)
S-k-a but hyper too much to decipher
Pretend you don’t get it, look who’s got a death wish
My world keeps on spinning & spans a greater distance
You don’t know what you’re missing
My world keeps on spinning
I think I just flipped another flop
Falling off you’re hanging at the top
Looking down now can’t you see the signs?
Contact lenses read between the lines
Maybe if we get another life
1UP you can try to make it right
That is if ever even talk again
Cuz I don’t think I see the things you see in them
I get so caught up in the past tense
I can’t see what’s there in the distance

I thought that I could change
I thought you’d stay the same
Three words on my grave
Calling out my name
I’m coming close to closing out
Yeah I guess that’s it for now
My mind is blank & shutting down
Blue screen red ring death surrounds
Anxious dread encircles me
Nights that I’m too scared to sleep
Sorta sounds like whispering
Arms across my shaking knees
I thought that I could change
I thought you’d stay the same
Three words on my grave
Calling out my name
I guess I’m doing well as far as you can tell
Better than before, staring at the floor
Standing in the back of the room it’s so sad
Continental drift begins
I was hoping we’d stay friends
I thought that I could change
I thought you’d stay the same
Three words on my grave
Calling out my name

I woke up in another city and all of my friends came to see me
I guess I should start believing in myself
Pull up just in time for load-in, open up the doors, I’m floating Through the venue, every night’s a dream come true
My life spins backwards I’m up & down
Keep telling myself I’ll come around
One day I’ll be fine but here in the meantime
My life spins backwards I’m up & down
The problem is I care too much
Super scared of losing touch
Get a grip, squeeze the day
You’re not alone
This is what I tell myself when I can’t breathe or cry for help
Memories I can’t forget no matter how the summer went
My life spins backwards I’m up & down
Keep telling myself I’ll come around
One day I’ll be fine but here in the meantime
My life spins backwards I’m up & down

If I get lost again
Will you come & get me?
Cuz I got lost again
Could you come & get me?
It doesn’t really make a difference
To me, to me
How we spend our nights and weekends
Cuz at the end of every bad day
It’s me and you
So true, bestie
If I get lost again
Will you come & get me?
Cuz I got lost again
Could you come & get me?
It’s hard enough to find my way
Mending months with fractured days
Tacked across the ceiling in my room
It’s better here with you
Throw it back to the soundtrack
Put me on blast
Call me clueless
Take that cue the laugh track
Make a big mess
Oh c’mon guess
Growing up and getting
Real as fuck with the
Person that I gotta be
If I get lost again
Will you come & get me?
Cuz I got lost again
Could you come & get me?
It’s hard enough to find my way
Mending months with fractured days
Tacked across the ceiling in my room
It’s better here with you

(When I’m online)
Critical hit! How could I miss?
And just like that i’m super smashed, it can’t end like this
It’s under control, just so you know
Wide awake the next day just to doom scroll
You know that you’re the one I always think about
Tip of the tongue against the roof of my mouth
Calling my name instead of calling me out
You know that you’re the one
Cuz when I’m online
I’m spending my time
Re-reading your messages
Pretending I’m fine
I don’t think I’m ready for the worst
You told me that you loved me but it hurt
We’ve been through hell & back it’s not the first time
Now my head is spinning & I’m up all night
You know that you’re the one I always think about
Tip of my tongue against the roof of my mouth
Calling my name instead of calling me out
You know that you’re the one
Cuz when I’m online
I’m spending my time
Re-reading your messages
Pretending I’m fine
And now I’m stuck outside with no reception
Doubled over, second guessing
Stuck outside with no reception
Doubled over, second guessing
Guess I’ll never learn my lesson
(When I’m online)

When you say you’re sorry
Do you really mean it?
Don’t speak cuz I have my doubts
And like what are your songs about?
And like who’s in the front row
Pointing fingers at your shows?
Grown ups, blown up, responsible
Brand New, round 2, takes its toll
Obviously we aren’t seeing eye to eye
You can blame your parents you can blame the guys
You can unlearn it but it takes some time
Do the work and take the time
When you say you’re sorry
Do you really mean it?
When you say you’re sorry
Do you really mean it?
Were you out of your mind
Thinking with your penis?
Mirror fucking mirror
Peek into the past tense
It’s not harm reduction
When you’re playing offense
Obviously we aren’t seeing eye to eye
You can blame your parents you can blame the guys
You can unlearn it but it takes some time
Do the work and take the time
When you say you’re sorry
Do you really mean it?

I’ve got the world in the palm of my hand
I’ve got a shriveling attention span
I don’t get anymore sleep than I need
I’ve always got somewhere stupid to be
I don’t do anything right when I try
I feel so stupid like all of the time
I’m gonna need like a second or two
Can I come over & sit next to you?
Keep up the pace now you’re alright
Keep up the pace now you’re by yourself
Keep up the pace now you’re alright
Keep up the pace
Ok I think I’ve embarrassed myself
I’m sorry I suck and you’re trying to help
Ok I promise I don’t wanna die
I won’t do anything stupid tonight
I didn’t blame you when I felt the sway
Of cool morning air and a voice in the breeze
Stinging my cheeks & my eyes & my nose
Change like the seasons you come & you go
Keep up the pace now you’re alright
Keep up the pace now you’re by yourself
Keep up the pace now you’re alright
Keep up the pace
I remember when we used to talk every day
I took you for granted that’s my biggest mistake
Used to meet me down at the all-you-can-eat
Those were different times & now I’m sick of the beef
I’ll always feel stupid
Excuses
And now I’m just nothing
Can’t function
From now on, I promise
Being honest
I’ll try to get better
No matter the weather
Keep up the pace now you’re alright
Keep up the pace now you’re by yourself
Keep up the pace now you’re alright
Keep up the pace

For the record, I’m having a bad time
Took a second but I’m starting to realize
Maybe I got everything that I wanted
Maybe I’d be happier with little to nothing
2023 hit me over & over again
With my feet in the water and my head in the sand
Crashed out in the current, laugh at the land
It’s so simple all you gotta do is stick to the plan
So am I still waiting?
Listening? Relating?
Just watch me do it again
Back to the beach and paddle out with the trends
For the record, I’m having a bad time
Took a second but I’m starting to realize
Maybe I got everything that I wanted
Maybe I’d be happier with little to nothing
When was the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror
And straight in the eyes?
Maybe at six in the morning or eleven at night
Barely alive
Shoutout the sunset
I guess I’m not done yet
I guess this is healing
A moment a feeling
Surfing the lining
Talk about timing
I just fell behind
For the record, I’m having a bad time
Took a second but I’m starting to realize
Maybe I got everything that I wanted
Maybe I’d be happier with little to nothing

This one’s for the constant toxic positivity
Just cut the crap, man, can you just be real with me?
We don’t see eye to eye. I’ve come to terms, it’s fine
And I don’t think a younger me would want this messy life
Burn me down I’m outta breath right now
Ride the high until I’m dead inside
Isn’t this what you wanted? Isn’t this all you got?
My world keeps on spinning whether I’m here or not
I got lost again
I keep stumbling
Guard this with your life, dude
Fast food & golden afternoons
Remember you saying that summer ends too soon
I’m up & down again
I’m falling out
Burn me down I’m outta breath right now
Ride the high until I’m dead inside
Isn’t this what you wanted? Isn’t this all you got?
My world keeps on spinning whether I’m here or not
Yeah I know it’s stupid
Yeah I know I’m fucking dumb
Hours outside on the roof
Til everything goes numb
Yeah I know it’s stupid
Yeah I know I’m fucking dumb
Hours outside on the roof
Til everything goes numb
Dig myself into a hole
I’ve got poor impulse control
From the roof I see the sky
I feel so alone tonight

When you look into my eyes
Do you stop & wonder why
We spend every afternoon
Counting phases of the moon?
Tattooed up & down your calf
Cutting every year in half
It’s golden hour at the court
Fall back now, summer’s too short
And I’ve been waiting for this moment
Saving just enough to own it
Posted on the wall in my room
Calling just to say I love you
