Runaway

Have I ever told you? What it was like to leave my friends.
Leave the house that I grew up in and learn to look ahead.
Have I ever told you? How every day I sift on through.
Another million new faces.
But still I’m in my same pair of shoes from,
8th, grade, graduation. Sharpie hearts, purple laces.
Nowadays all I get are post cards.
Saying how great life’s so far.
Mines full of complications. Distance will only make us.
Remember what we all came from. Cause we’re all on the run.
Little runaway. Runaway at heart.
No matter what we say. She knows, she knows, she knows.
Little runaway. Runaway at heart.
No matter what we say. She knows, she knows, she knows.
Have I ever told you? What it was like after one year.
I fell in love with taking pictures. Got real drunk and pierced my ears.
Have I ever told you? That I’m okay with feeling scared.
You may think it’s permanent.
But still I’m in my same pair of shoes from,
8th, grade, graduation. Sharpie hearts, purple laces.
Nowadays all I get are post cards.
Saying how great life’s so far.
Mines full of complications. Distance will only make us.
Remember what we all came from. Cause we’re all on the run.
Little runaway. Runaway at heart.
No matter what we say. She knows, she knows, she knows.
Little runaway. Runaway at heart.
No matter what we say.

Little Ghost Town

Well I’m just sitting on a fire escape
Killing time and keeping out of the way
Above a diver and a laundromat
Call my name and I will come on back
Anytime I need a glass to spill. Another ear to fill
To listen to me talk and won’t send me a bill
You tell it like it is and don’t ever make a sound
Here’s to my little ghost town
Well I’m just sitting on a fire escape
Dropping pennies in the ally way
The storm drain behind the old motel
It’s like a personal wishing well
Pretty soon the sky went tangerine over black and green
Something real classic like a Hopper scene
I should go but I’m sure I’ll see you around
Here’s to my little ghost town
Here’s to my little ghost town

Walking like Jello. Hello. I know. She knows. Chances I could get with her is zero.
Forget me like CeeLo. Goodbye. Hope you had a good time.
Catch me walking home and baby off to yours yeah we go.
Lights off. Drop your dress and your car keys. We **** through a couple old movies.
Clouds thicker. Polish off the liquor. Just another night I can’t remember so clear.
Empty bottles on my desk. Left your lipstick on my neck.
Me and whiskey make a mess. Last night felt like a Vhs.
Call me foolish. Call me reckless. Think I drunk called all my ex’s.
Might not ever know the rest. Last night felt like a Vhs.
Woke up feeling mellow. Hello. I know. She knows.
Chances she will call me back is zero. Thought we had a deal. You lied.
Not the name you go by. But who cares. It’s alright. You’ll be back tomorrow.
Hit play. Now you’re pulling me closer. We **** make your dresser fall over.
Social sinner. Love ain’t for beginners. Just another night of fine lines growing thinner.
Empty bottles on my desk. Left your lipstick on my neck.
Me and whiskey make a mess. Last night felt like a Vhs.
Call me foolish. Call me reckless. Think I drunk called all my ex’s.
Might not ever know the rest. Last night felt like a Vhs.
Like a Vhs. Last night felt like a Vhs. Like a Vhs. Last night felt like a Vhs.
Like a Vhs. Last night felt like a Vhs. Like a Vhs. Last night felt like a Vhs.

Guess it’s time for sadboy kiss and tell
You ruined my life but I wish you well
I lied about that second part, oh well
Yeah quit leaving me voicemails about your pain
Shouldn’t have to listen to the shit you say
Why’d you even bring it up in the first place
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah it made you upset
Made you call me back at 3am
Just to tell me your defense
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah it made you upset
Made you wanna go and bitch to your friends
Was it something that i said
Lately I fear there’s no end in sight
711 runs after midnight
I know you’re never there but you might
Maybe if I try I could sleep it off
I see you when I sleep so I don’t sleep at all
Slowly all my thoughts start singing my favorite song
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah it made you upset
Made you call me back at 3am
Just to tell me your defense
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah it made you upset
Made you wanna go and bitch to your friends
Was it something that i said

Homesick Remedy
02:24

I miss 4am drives through the country and the diners open all hours of the day
I even miss the bad news and the controversy, that made all of the good times worth the wait
Some words I would speak
Others I would keep
I'm lucky to have met all the people I did meet
But I'm scared down to my bones and it's not even halloween
I need a homesick remedy
I miss drive-in movies by the shoreline where the old abandoned boardwalk lays to rest
I must have rode that rollercoaster hundreds of times before businesses came and left their mess
Some words I would speak
Others I would keep
I'm lucky to have met all the people I did meet
But I'm scared down to my bones and it's not even halloween
I need a homesick remedy
I need a homesick remedy
I need a homesick remedy

Please don't go, I'm just kidding, yeah
I'll be missing you, oh-oh
Yeah, something like that
I know I'm a mess
And it's hard to hurt my feelings
So I'm kind of impressed by you
You amaze me every time
I get you're upset
But it's hard for me to tell
If it was something I said, but you
Say, "Yes" every time
I'm at Denny's with my friends
You're at home alone again
You scream, "We're done"
Please don't go, oh
I'm just kidding I
Won't be missing ya
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
I sleep better alone
It's so uncomfortable with you
Starfishing all night long
Now I'm tired
While I'm tired of your shit every day
I think I'm staying at home
Don't even charge my phone
'Cause I don't wanna talk to you
It's hard to leave and all I know is life ain't a cage
I'm at Denny's with my friends
You're at home alone again
You scream, "We're done"
(Ha, no I wanna like separate)
Please don't go, oh
I'm just kidding I
Won't be missing ya
Please don't go
I won't be missing ya
Please don't go, oh
I'm just kidding I
Won't be missing ya
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go
Please don't go

Alright should I go? Yeah go ahead
Was it something I said (oh f-)
Guess it's time for sad boy kiss and tell
You ruined my life but I wish you well
I lied about that second part, oh well
Quit leaving me voicemails about your pain
Shouldn't have to listen to the shit you say
Why'd you even bring it up in the first place?
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah it made you upset
Made you call me back at 3am
Just to tell me your defense
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah it made you upset
Made you wanna go and bitch to your friends
Was it something that I said
Running on negative hours of sleep
Pretty positive she’s in my bloodstream
She’s probably way over me
Surely gotta settle down later on
Figured that I must be doing something wrong
For now I’ll hide under the covers and bite my tongue
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah it made you upset
Made you call me back at 3am
Just to tell me your defense
Was it something I said
That made you anxious yeah it made you upset
Made you wanna go and bitch to your friends
Was it something that I said

Hand Me Down

I thought I found my one, my soul mate, my partner in crime.
2am comes, we get pizza, and play wii tennis all night.
A couple weeks we go here and there. A couple months more and I get scared.
Something about us doesn’t feel right.
You made me shop for new pants and then it dawned on me. Funny how you think my pants look cheap. Funny how you called all my friends last week and my friends called me, said you wouldn’t believe what she said. (hey what did she say)
I’m nothing more than a friend. Have I done anything to offend you. (i just wanted some new pants)
All you did was break me down.
If I don’t fit your mood you go and toss me out.
All you did was break me down.
Your love wore me out now I’m a hand me down.
You said I was your sidekick.
Someone who could provide when the world needs your help.
But lately you’ve been busy saving all of your cities. Guess I thought you would miss me but I can’t even tell.
All you did was break me down.
If I don’t fit your mood you go and toss me out.
All you did was break me down.
Your love wore me out now I’m a hand me down.
All you did was break me down.
If I don’t fit your mood you go and toss me out.
All you did was break me down.
Your love wore me out now I’m a hand me down.
