My Head 03:47
You called me all sorts of things but after a while they didn't phase me I just didn't understand why you said them in the first place Why, what did I do that would make you so angry? Why, what could I say that would make this all go away I couldn't stop thinking about all of the times you lashed out What did I do by just trying to call you? What did I do by just asking 'how are you?' What did I do by just trying to love you I couldn't get you out of my head Did you want me to love you or did you want me to miss you more? I will never love again that way I gotta get you out of my head I gotta get it out You promised all sorts of things and I believed every one of them I was tired of playing the game when it didn't make a difference You lost me at 'I want to marry you' after 'I fucking hate you' over and over again

I look at you, and what do I see? I don't know if you are listening, can you hear me step back and scream? In your anger all you cannot say to me Run away You ripped your shirt off me, and I accepted your apology. You said it was satisfying watching me squirm, well when am I ever gonna learn? Can you just take it back? Call me delusional, I don't care what you have to say to distract me from the fact that you have zero accountability It's not just a kiss when you kiss me goodbye so why is a lie just a lie? Is telling me we're incompatible a lazy excuse for not wanting to admit the truth?

It's going to be a long summer It's going to be a long summer with you my friend It's going to be a long summer without you my friend When I wasn't thinking about making new friends I was riding my longboard and drinking tequila thinking it's going to be a long summer When I wasn't thinking about meeting you friend I was riding my longboard and drinking tequila and inhaling everybody's secondhand smoke and thinking it's going to be a long summer Before I met you I was on the run from something bad like a love you can't fix or ambulance sirens coming on like a storm Waking up to rain and sunrises beyond our fire escape like a sunset you were gone It's gonna be a long summer of watching sunsets with you, the sun sets with you my dear. Close your eyes and realize the sun sets with you and each day begins with long summer sighs with you What is a new friend but new thoughts and ideas that keep you in check? What is a new friend but someone you're afraid of losing their respect? It's a new friend you forget you're being 100% yourself around them but you give them the keys and you let them in. Come in and play with me. I'll sit beside you and listen to stories of your homeland far away Tute Chigamba I found this new friend, I found that feeling of summer in you new friend Walking down the street in the daylight with you new friend when you hold my hand and our feet are bare in the sand The summer is home and your smile's a bed

Insomnia 04:45
Been alone, been alone so long lying awake here thinking 'when will I drift off to sleep?' All my dreams you turn into nightmares and when I awake I hold myself in my sweat screaming 'am I imagining this?' I'm imagining you walk through the front door with a grin you're ready to strangle me I'm not there when you try to say hello to me my heart left the thorns at the door so you can't dig in too deep. When I stare at you I'm staring listlessly into the abyss wishing that it didn't feel like someone hit repeat

Over Counter 04:45
Down the street and over the counter is where I spend most of my days I accept that it's over one pill at a time and still I'm lost in the past of the haze Well my friends tell me not to look back so I try not to look back and look away Sitting violently alone with myself when I get seven calls from you my aunt says that he just wants your attention he'll never say he's sorry 'cause to him you're living proof Tell him 'if something's wrong with me something's definitely wrong with you'

2nd Fl 05:22
I'm staring through your window and looking at your shadow but all I can see are his tears He doesn't want to say much so I can't help but give up as I watch him struggle with his fears It was the last time I didn't know that it was the last time. How could I have known that this was the last time I would ever see you again? As you walk through your front door you appear through your second floor window and I knew that it was the last time I would ever let you cross the line I would ever let us cross the line I will never see you again -- I got my license to split the driving with you, applied to grad school and wore a thong to impress you; and I watched every last retro report in the times just so you knew that I was paying attention. I remembered your magic decks and stories about your friends, but mine you can't name a single one of them. What the hell was I doing trying to care when I was just wasting time?
