promise me
03:11
|

being myself
'til i'm black and blue
the burn in my throat
is nothing compared to the truth
in my every song
tracing every line
you've moved along
while i'm stuck here in time
take me home
lay me down
promise me
that you won't come around
take care of yourself
'cause i can't anymore
think of me fondly
on your way out my door
may you love someone kind
tender and true
may the wind kiss your face
just like i used to
don't worry 'bout me
but i know that you aren't
'cause you're busy building a life
on my broken heart
take me home
lay me down
promise me
that you won't come around
be kind to yourself
'cause i can't anymore
think of me fondly
on your way out my door

crime
03:29
|

something to get me through the night
disappear in my phone
i'm so tired of being alone
hoping that i'll find you there
but i know i know better
i know that you can't care
explain to me
why i'm doing the time
for another woman's crime
i know you're hurt
but i'm not her
something to get me through my days
every afternoon feels like sunday evening
in the worst way
my eyes are wide open
so here's hoping you'll pull the wool
explain to me
why i'm doing the time
for another woman's crime
i know you're hurt
but i'm not her
i know you bleed
but why punish me

drive thru
03:51
|

it's early morning and the
sun is screaming
i'm waiting in my car
stayed out too late
listening to friends play
surrounded but alone
my caffeine addiction rolling through my head
got me wondering why i'm not still in bed
but i'll wait for you
i'll wait for you
'cause i know
that the waiting
is making
it all the better
i'll wait
i'll wait
i know you don't understand me
i can barely think about what it is i need
there's walls
between us
and i know you can't hear my hollerin'
over the static
but i'll wait for you
i'll wait for you
'cause i know
that the waiting
is making
it all the better
i'll move out of the way
to make room for someone less complicated
i'll wait for you
i'll wait for you
'cause I know
that the waiting
is making
me all the better
i'll wait
i'll wait
i'll wait

expectations
03:05
|

someday
i'll look back on now with resentment
how much
have i borrowed to
tide me over
i've always heard
of borrowed time
but not of borrowed expectations
whispered prayers and
terse salutation
when i wake
say 'it'll be okay'
is it a lie or a promise
without guarantee
will she forgive me
i've always heard
of borrowed time
but not of borrowed expectations
whispered prayers and
terse salutations
when will the debt
become too great
when will hope turn to hate
i've always heard
of stolen time
but not of stolen expectations
whispered prayers and
terse conversations

never enough
02:52
|
|||
let me find places
on the map where our minds intersect
where heart cables
become tangled
lines of red and blue like the stories on your skin
i've always been told
i'm too much
but i wanna be your
never enough
i'm thankful that you can't get tired
of running through my mind
and pretending that you're mine
if it takes a lifetime
for you to realize
i'll be thankful to have thought of you on waking
i know you're scared that today is not the day
but i am here to help you
shoulder all that weight
i've always been told
i'm too much
but i wanna be your
never enough
i'm thankful that you can't get tired
of running through my mind
pretending that you're mine
i've always been told
i'm too much
but i'll wait to be your
never enough
i'm thankful that you can't get tired
of running through my mind
pretending that you're mine
pretending that you're mine
pretending that you're mine

pull me down
02:27
|
|||
pull me down
'cause it's lonely
started to drown
you didn't save me
you burned it down
because you could
left me inside
thought i was good
wanted to help
pushed me away
full of regret
but i wanted to stay
so i prayed to god
i prayed for you
tried to believe
one last thing to do
baptized by the tap
in the shower
quietly grieving
our final hours
