I can’t name the feeling hiding behind my eyes
Is it love or is it just another high
You think you know me and I guess you really do
You may have my number but girl you know I have yours too
Standing solo checking emails before a show
Business comes first when you’re fucking alone
It’s cliche as hell but I wish you were here
In this trashed apartment that smells like sweat sand beer
I don’t get sad around you for some reason
Except for that one time
I won’t ask you to stay out very long
Let’s go home I’m gonna write you another song

Vulnerable

Why is love such a loaded word
To fear it so is completely absurd
Yet I promised myself I’d keep my mouth shut
Tell myself you’ve been wrong before
You know you won’t be wronged once more
Because she’s somewhere between
All that I want and all that I need
I feel as vulnerable as I’ve ever been in all my life
Always kept up this shield never once felt forced to tell a lie
oooh
You make it easy to be myself
So why do I feel like I’m someone else
I’m way too afraid of messing this up
I want to hold you all through the night
kiss you and tell you things are alright
Because you’re somewhere above
All that I want in someone I love
[chorus]
Like I will always be by your side
I don’t have anything to hide
These are things I can’t promise to hold to
But I’ll try
[chorus]

My Best Friend

I’m not gonna lie
and tell you my life started just a year ago
What really amazes me Is how nice my life was
And just how much
How much better it got
I don’t hate myself
I’m just a walking sliver of doubt
It’s a pretty easy thing to be
when nothing
nothing ever works itself out
A simple notion
Proof of my devotion
And if it’s unclear
I still love you after a year
An anniversary
One I didn’t think I’d see
At least not at this age
If you remember
I have a tendency to self-destruct
This song sounds like Vincent
With more of a personal touch
Less of an artistic take
And more of that which describes
my point of view
It’s a point you can’t contend
You know you’re my best friend
And if it’s unclear
I still love you after a year
A simple notion
Proof of my devotion
Pack your bags my dear
I think I can give you another year

I hate the smell of New York
It sticks to all of my clothes
The cars are all loud
The subway is crowded
There isn’t much keeping me here
I love the feeling of her kiss
It’s so soft yet ever so urgent
The sun hanging down
My mind is clouded
She’s what’s keeping me here
My only job is to tell her
That we don’t have to stay here forever
It’s not much warmer than Maine
The drivers are all fucking insane
I got in a crash
I felt the backlash
That was before I learned
I hate the haze of New York
Those kids they want something more
They all walk in line
How perfect the timing
I suppose ignorance is bliss
My only job is to tell her
That we don’t have to stay here forever
Connections like this
Make me optimistic
But people keep trying to read me
My only job is to find out whether
You’ll stay or go I’ll be wherever
I’ll do whatever
