Daydreamer

Beneath the stars
I want to lie
With all my favourite fantasies
Fill my empty shoes with concrete promises
And we can escape quietly
To another place
To a different time
And get lost at sea
Live a life we always wanted
and transcend reality
Daydreamer, tell me, are you just playing for keeps?
Well this moonlight’s got me feeling just like a Pisces
But I know
We always spend our days wondering what to do
But I’d rather take the easy way out
If that’s okay with you
And now the sun is setting on
All of our memories
Float off to space and find some peace
Whisper to me softly
As the water rises
I won’t feel I have been hurt
And if I never make it to Hawaii
Bury me in a grass skirt
Daydreamer, tell me, are you just playing for keeps?
Well this moonlight’s got me feeling just like a Pisces
But I know
We always spend our days wondering what to do
But I’d rather take the easy way out
If that’s okay with you

Weird Summer

Close your eyes so you can't
See the cotton candy skies
That make a mockery of all the times that were made for you and me
They've been so unkind
And I'm always trapped inside
I've got a lot to say about the way it's been these past few days and
Weird summer has me feeling some kind of way
Not good or bad I've just been pretty okay
And I just wanna spend it all with you
Weird summer has me feeling kinda lonely
Everyone’s gone my days are work and no play
And I just wanna spend it all with you
And I can't survive
Another dark sunrise
It almost takes me all the way back to another time when
I lost my mind
On the assembly line
Chipped thoughts and stained walls weren't the only things that made realize
Weird summer happened just a little too late
I didn't mean to make you stay up and wait
And I just wanna spend it all with you
Weird summer’s not how I imagined a break
I really don’t know how much more I can take
And I just wanna spend it all with you
Storms running in my head
Won’t let me leave this bed
Won't you please take me out of here
Weird summer has me feeling some kind of way
Confused and paranoid every single day
And I just wanna spend it all with you
There's nothing left here to make me wanna stay
I could just let a bus come take me away
And I can't wait to spend it all with you

Struck Blue

Feels like life shot me in my knees
This ain’t the way it’s meant to be
Opened my blinds to see
The late sunrise didn’t wanna see me
Gonna pack up my suitcase
Got too many things to chase
Forget you saw my face
I’m never coming back to this place
Cooking up something crazy
Midnight nonsense recipe
Word salad of your dreams
Don’t it taste so heavenly
Angel came on a cloud to me
And let me have it subtly
Said this ain’t poetry
It’s just ramblings from a lack of sleep
I’ve been struck blue in my head
And I know
That the train stays while the track moves very slow
It doesn't matter where we’ve been
Or where we are
Cuz the stars aren’t gonna take me very far
Can you spare a little change
For a concrete bed to help me age?
I’d like to meet you on the street
And tell you everything about
The way a ghost shrieks
It’s always scarier in a dream
Looking for a closed off mind
Open up mine from behind
Come on, step inside
You never know what you may find
Build your walls up nice and high
Drop the ones that kill your vibe
Secretive deep inside
Don’t let them see your other side, just
Paint it gold and make it bold
Watch the mystery unfold
And we’ll go back in time
To when we lied about our lives, yeah
I’ve been struck blue in my head
And I know
That the train stays while the track moves very slow
It doesn't matter where we’ve been
Or where we are
Cuz the stars aren't gonna take me very far

Happier With You

I hate to admit it
But you were right all along
I hate to admit it
But you were right and I was wrong
I hate to admit it
I got caught up in all the hype
I hate to admit it
I wound up fighting the wrong fight
Times are strange
Our lives have changed
Yet you still know me so well
I don’t need to explain
Why I chose my personal hell
So just give me a little time
To open my eyes and see
I should’ve listened from the start
I guess it was meant to be
Let go of all your worry
I’ll be your one and only
Stay patient, I swear I’ll come through
I hate to admit it
There’s something else on my mind
I hate to admit it
But right now’s just not a good time
I hate to admit it
I just want it to go away
I hate to admit it
You should know I am not okay
I know that you still have my back
But there’s something in my way
Wish I could look my problems in the eye
And scream right in its face
That my time’s being wasted
I’m trying to head right out the door
And I just want my mind back
Cuz you don’t need it anymore
Let go of all your worry
I’ll be your one and only
Stay patient, I swear I’ll come through
I could be happier with you
And to all the thoughts that kept me up all night
I have only one thing to say
You’ve been living in my head rent free
You don’t get to control me like that
You’ve been living in my head rent free
You don’t get to control me like that
You’ve been living in my head rent free
You don’t get to control me like that
You’ve been living in my head rent free
You don’t get to control me like that
You’ve been living in my head rent free
You don’t get to control me like that
You’ve been living in my head rent free
You don’t get to control me like that
Let go of all your worry
I’ll be your one and only
Stay patient, I swear I’ll come through
I could be happier with you
