You're not like them but I can't explain why that's true The voice is yours The words are from somebody new I hate your mum and don't like the person you've become I wish I did, I wish I did You miss New York If I tell you to visit, you don't You want to talk but I can't stand the sight of my phone Now that you're gone admit that the choice you made was wrong and I'm not insane, I don't want to cause you any pain but I wish I did, I wish I did Forgive and forget I don't think I need to do that yet It's not as hard as before I don't even miss you anymore but I wish I did, I wish I did

Time on our hands seems like the only thing we have We're walking in circles and breathing in fumes trying to get through the day I'm looking for answers, I'm sick of my room I just gotta say that I know I'm not really alone - we're all on our own I don't know your name I don't know your pain I don't know how anybody keeps on going One day at at time Each evening there's fireworks on the street The sound of a city in tears, trying to heal, it knows that it won't We sit on the couch, my hand on your leg, my heart rising up in my throat Inside my head it's all blurred I can't find the words I don't know your name I don't know your pain I don't know how anybody keeps on going

leave behind the day, it’s a fish on a line if you let it go another will come in some time meanwhile crack a cold one, here, take one of mine you feel like shit but you’re probably fine There are days that just don’t go well days when there’s nothing else days when you hate yourself feeling like a bird who forgot how to sing got stuck in oil and now you can’t use your wings Trapped in your mind and all of your memories sting Scared you didnt do the right thing baby you will one day maybe it ends okay will it be worth the pain?

I wake up, get the paper Check my email, I’ll do it later Wish the news came with a warning By the evening I’m in mourning It hurts to stay connected Feels like being infected I hope it’s coming soon, the day when I’m immune, when I don’t care anymore I don’t care anymore It’s like a cut, or a splinter Hiding deep within your finger You pull it out and it exposes a little hole which one day closes That’s kinda how I’m feeling My mind is slowly healing One day it will seal and I’ll pretend this isn’t real, and that I don’t care anymore I don’t care anymore I’m looking out for a brighter moon You say it’s coming soon Why is it always coming soon? I’ll give it another night Then I’m staying inside One more night, one more morning One more day, wake up yawning I will land in safer harbors Every day they’re getting darker There’s a light inside me Clinging on so tightly I can almost feel it begging me to keep it lit But I don’t care anymore I don’t care anymore.

I would hit a kid to feel inspired I would sell my soul to be less tired I would rob a bank for twenty dollars I would answer to an unknown caller Where does life begin outside, within I'm addicted to my phone scared I'll die alone I want to run in circles til I throw up I want to play with fire until I blow up I want to think my life is undiminished I want to feel something before it's finished Where does life begin outside, within Why is it so hard to exist What have I missed I want to write some different lyrics to write a song and want to hear it to make a jump and know I'll clear it and when I sing, I want to sing out

Sometimes days you just feel sad The autumn’s good, the winter’s bad And you run, and eat kale, and you win, and you fail The sun’s in your eyes but the wind’s in your sail When you shake When you feel stranded You’ve really just landed The waves get worse when you’re close to shore The bumps can hurt and make you sore And you sway to and fro, and the sun’s hanging low You feel like you’re crashing but the next day you’re home When you shake When you feel stranded You’ve really just landed I know you’re lost I know you’re lonely The anchor falls slowly
