December

You picked me up in the summer
To leave me high and dry in December
Now I can’t even remember
What made me feel this way
You move around like a spectre
And disappear into ash and ember
Now I don’t even remember
Why I came all this way
You keep me up all night
I won’t take the blame
Keep me out of sight
It all ends the same
You could have it all
Pull me from beneath
Everytime you fall
Give me space to breathe

Burning Bridges

Maybe love
It ain’t worth it
Why fall apart?
When you can carry that weight
So open up
You’re burning bridges
Why carry on
For such a long wait
Everytime I try, someone else comes and takes my place
Everytime you lie, you get carried, you get carried away
Everytime I try, someone else comes and takes my place
Everytime you try, you get carried, you get carried away
So fall asleep
You won’t wake easy
Write your dreams down
It’s all the same
So open up
You’re burning bridges
Why carry on
For such a long wait
Everytime I try, someone else comes and takes my place
Everytime you lie, you get carried, you get carried away
Everytime I try, someone else comes and takes my place
Everytime you lie, you get carried, you get carried away
So open up
It ain’t worth it
So open up
To me now
So open up
You’re burning bridges
So open up

If We Make It to May
04:49
|

If these walls could speak, they’d spill so many things
But they can’t understand the emptiness they bring
I left a part of me in between the lines
A silhouette to grace an empty space
Someday you’ll pile up the fines
Innocence on each forgotten face
And if we make it to May
I’ll carve your name into the back of my face
And if we make it to May
I’ll be wasted, tainted, gone
I’m not proud at all of the man I’ve come to be
And you’re coming to realize you can’t stand a thing about me
I know you’re unravelling
I can’t say these thoughts will cease
But you can put yourself back together
Piece by piece
And if we make it to May
I’ll get older and more bitter by the day
And if we make it to May
I’ll be wasted, tainted, gone
I said “I can hear your trembling voice”
She said “well you don’t have much of a choice”
I said “Would you come back down to me?”
She said “I feel for once that I’m truly free”
And if we make it to May
I’ll carve your name into the back of my face
And if we make it to May
I’ll get older and more bitter by the day
And if we make it to May
I’ll carve your name into the back of my face

Summer Nights

Summer nights at your parents house could never
Replace the things that we forgot about
We had the world, but you had your doubts
So screw this town, I’m moving out
A stupid car covered up in dents
It’s been two months since I’ve paid the rent
There’s nothing left to convince me to stay
What a perfect day for driving away
Oh, summer nights, watched you go
Oh, summer nights, long ago
Oh, summer nights could never last
Oh, summer nights are in the past
Summer nights at your parents house
I said I’m leaving so you kicked me out
I wish that things didn’t end this grey
Now there’s nothing left standing in my way
A stupid car covered up in dents
It’s been two months since I’ve paid the rent
There’s no one left to convince me to stay
What a perfect day for driving away
Oh, summer nights, watched you go
Oh, summer nights, long ago
Oh, summer nights could never last
Oh, summer nights are in the past
I hate things left unsaid
Constant pain in my head
Holding on to letting go
When I’m losing everything I know
Oh, summer nights, watched you go
Oh, summer nights, long ago
Oh, summer nights could never last
Oh, summer nights are in the past

Love Poem

I’m no better than I was at the start of this year
Constantly thinking the future is here
And I’m holding on to letting go
When I’m losing everything
And I hate things left unsaid
Constant pain in my head
And I could bring this town to its knees
If it gave me the peace that I need
Oh, summer nights (summer nights)

Last Rose of Summer
02:41
|
|||

'Tis the last rose of summer
Left a’ blooming alone
All her lovely companions
Have faded and all are gone
No flower of her kindred
No rosebud is nigh
To reflect back her blushes
And give sigh for sigh
I'll not leave thee thou lone one
To pine on the stern
Since the lovely are sleeping
Go sleep thou with them
Thus kindly I scatter
Thy leaves o'er the bed
Where thy mates of the garden
Lie scentless and dead
So soon may I follow
When friendships decay
And from love's shining circle
The gems drop away
When true hearts lie withered
And fond ones are flown
Oh, who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?

I can see your face get older
Waiting never suited you well
Get that wait off of your shoulder
Where I’m bound, I cannot tell
I think it’s starting to take hold
Let’s just see where this thing goes
I’ve been burned so much before this
Take your time, I know I’m slow
I don’t need to sit and reminisce
Take a look before we go
I think it’s starting to take hold
Let’s just see where this thing goes

Cover Me
03:31

All of your fears come back to me
You say to just leave it all be
All of your anger washed away
It's killing you to see me that way
Cover me
Cover me
You can't take everything away
Give it to your heart astray
Sometimes I see you disappear
When you start to wonder why you're here
The changing colors take me back
Did you up and dressed you in black
Cover me
Cover me
You've never heard a thing I've said
All the lies that I've been fed
I see your facade start to crack
Give me a reason to come back
What difference does it really make?
One of us will surely break
Cover me
Cover me
You can't take everything away
Give it to your heart astray

I'll Stay

Carry me on
Don't make this harder than it needs to be
Carry me on
You break down whenever you see me
Carry me on
The rug has been pulled so far from under me
People you love
Everything's changing right in front of me
Crashing cars
Light a match and burn the whole city
Carry me on
Promise me that you can still hear me
And Carry me on
Carry me on
Carry me on
Carry me on
And carry me on
Carry me on
