Last minute plans
With my friends
Working hard a means to and end
Leaving minutes to contend
Responsibility
Came crashing down on me
It's here
Something I never wanted to feel
Looking my best wherever I go
A little stressed cause I want no-one to know
I don't know what I'm doing here
And I'll climb to the roof and I'll shout
Every fear that I have so the world will be forced to hear me out
And I'll scream at the top of my lungs
About this dream that I've got where the world is here just so we can have fun
Staying in bed not getting dressed
My favourite form of silent protest
The greatest way to spend the day
Responsibility
I've gotten good at dodging it
Now I'm doing what I want with my life

I'm a little pathetic
And a lot insecure
I take what I need
And lock myself behind my bedroom door
Oh yeah I watch the rain trickle down the window
And I listen to my old vinyl
It scratches and jumps but I like it
It has flaws and I guess that makes it just kinda like me
Is it just me or is this room breathing
The tales are mostly happy unless they involve me and you
These oil lamps are dying
But that's okay cause in this darkness they are blinding
Seeing spots and writing names
It's a shame it's so cold out here
The stars look down on me tonight
I'm a hollow empty shell but at least I'm me
You're on your way to graduating
And I wish that we were still dating
Cause I'm here and I'm still waiting on tables
And for you to call me back
Everyone is asking me why
You're now dating that other guy
They thought we were serious
And for a second there so did I
But I still laugh at your dumb jokes
And when I think about that time that we got drunk at karaoke
I still smile to myself
I made a fool of myself but you didn't mind
It's been three months since we said goodbye
Then I ran into you
At my friends sisters 18th birthday
And I listened to you talk about your new boyfriend
3 feet away and I couldn't stay
It's New Year's Day and it's 35 fucking degrees outside
Why are you being so damn cold to me
You're on your way to graduating
And I wish that we were still dating
Cause I'm here and I'm still waiting on tables
And for you to call me back
(Repeat this a bunch of times)

Closing time is cleaning time
And also when we all start drinking
To distract ourselves from our boring lives
With fake anticipation
Closing time is cleaning time
And the backstage is lit up tonight
And I don't think I know enough words to tell you what or how I'm feeling
Something clicks inside my brain
So I turn around and leave through the back door
And leave everybody waiting
Nobody's saying
That you shouldn't stay
But everyone's thinking it
Cause no-one really likes you anymore
But we've known you far too long to bring it up to your face
Nobody's saying
That you shouldn't stay
But everyone's thinking it
Cause no-one really likes you anymore
But we've been down this road before and it's just too hard to leave
I asked your friends what they thought of me
And how I handled everything
And they all thought I was in the right
And that you were crazy scribbling black lines
So now let's turn this clock back in time
To days when we got along fine
It seems so long ago that
You were one of my best friends
(But now I really hate being seen in public with you)
Nobody's saying
That you shouldn't stay
But everyone's thinking it
Cause no-one really likes you anymore
But we've known you far too long to bring it up to your face
Nobody's saying
That you shouldn't stay
But everyone's thinking it
Cause no-one really likes you anymore
But we've been down this road before and it's just too hard to leave
Nobody's saying
That you shouldn't stay
But everyone's thinking it
Cause no-one really likes you anymore
But we've known you far too long to bring it up to your face
Nobody's saying
That you shouldn't stay
But everyone's thinking it
Cause no-one really likes you anymore
But we've been down this road before and we can't wait for you to leave

When I saw you walk through the door
It was quite a surprise
But the feeling was pleasant and it wasn't invasive
It actually felt kind of nice
You don't look the same anymore
But nothing has changed at the same time
The watch you're wearing is the one I bought you
I can't believe it's not in the trash
With everything else we shared
The memories and my shirt that you took
About a month before you left
And 2 months before the last time we spoke
Now it's been a year and it's becoming obvious
That you never left my mind
If you go back to school
I'll get a tattoo
And we'll make each other better
In 100 years
We'll be both be dead
That's why none of this matters
I think I kissed you last night
But I still woke up alone
We said we wouldn't do this anymore
What were we thinking we weren't
I can't believe
Your stuff still lines my bedroom floor
You left your things at my place
And now I can't seem to get a hold of you
And much less a single stable thought
On how to avoid my impending heartbreak
Or the nightmares that become more frequent with time
It's a heavy-hearted last ditch morning
When we have to repeat ourselves for the 100th time
If you go back to school
I'll get a tattoo
And we'll make each other better
In 100 years
We'll be both be dead
That's why none of this matters
If you move away
I'll beg you to stay
And we'll drift apart in heartbreak
I never said I stopped loving you
You just assumed
I have a hard time believing
That paintings not a portrait of us
The only difference is those people have emotions in their eyes
And I’ve been dead inside for months now
And it seems now
That we’re moving forwards
Instead of backwards like all our friends predicted we would
And I can’t believe it’s been this long
Since we hung out as just friends
Sitting talking over coffee
Even though you don’t like the taste of it
Or better yet the bitter taste of realisation
That dawned upon me
When you told me that you moved on
If you go back to school
I'll get a tattoo
And we'll make each other better
In 100 years
We'll be both be dead
That's why none of this matters
If you move away
I'll beg you to stay
And we'll drift apart in heartbreak
I never said I stopped loving you
You just assumed
If you go back to school
I'll get a tattoo
And we'll make each other better
In 100 years
We'll be both be dead
That's why
If you go back to school
I'll get a tattoo
And we'll make each other better
In 100 years
We'll be both be dead
That's why none of this matters
If you move away
I'll beg you to stay
And we'll drift apart in heartbreak
I never said I stopped loving you
You just assumed

March Into May

I remember the feel of the snow in between our hands
I remember walking you home when we could barely stand
We met amongst the crowd of my favourite band
And now stuck in my head forever is everything we planned
I drove you home when you were too drunk to drive
Now you do the same for me most Thursday nights
The letter you wrote me is still pinned to my wall and I read it last week and I bawled like a baby
That's right
We sat on the steps in the garden per your request
You proceeded to scream at me despite my protest
I wish I hadn't yelled back and you left in the cold
That dark evening in May is a night I will never forget
Walking in circles cause you don't think out of the box
It might kill me to put someone else first for once
Please leave my head
