Throw yourself out the window
Into a flowerbed
Plant your problems where they can't find you anymore
Precious times under the backyard vines
Let them cradle you
A reminder that you're never too old
To enjoy the nicer things in life
Like sleeping in the shade
Throw yourself out the window
Into a flowerbed
Plant your problems where they can't find you anymore
A reminder that you're never too old to enjoy
Racing through the space between our rooms
You're searching for a clue that isn't there
Spending time just peaking through the blinds
Deciding when and where you'll make a stand
Standing tall just waiting for the call
The more you listen close the more you crave
Grind your jaw until the gums are raw
You're looking for reasons to misbehave
Even though you want to test my patience
I'll just hold you close
I never wanna let go of your gentle soul
I hear it in your breathing
When you're fast asleep
And you're dreaming about
Dreaming about

Chances last a finite time
Oh no, it's true, you're looking over
Any other day I'd be okay with all the voices in my head
Turn me on to something new
And when you lean in and touch my lips
And put your hand on my caved-in chest
You already know
I'm far away
Hesitation lasts too long
Good times have passed but more will follow
Vacation everywhere but inside my brain
With all the baggage in the way
Turn me on to something sweet
I bite my tongue 'til I'm seeing stars
I try my best but you make it so hard
Following
You all the way across the room
I just don't wanna be on my own
Find yourself someone who looks
Right through you the way I do
Dedicating so much time
Just to let me down inside
On my own

Don't wander off too far we've got places to be
Drinks to drink
Dinner for two in the center of the city square
But now we're climbing up and down
The tallest Ferris wheel in town
The lights bounce off your face
The fireworks illuminate
The night
Out near the docks where we skipped our rocks that
Led straight out to the cargo ships
Married to my intuitions but I take the leap
And I let things go your way
Ignoring all the warning signs
And your sunflower eyes
Could make a thousand stars burn red
I can't help myself from smiling
There's nothing more liberating than being here
Look up and meet eyes with you ahead
Reach out and hold your hand again

Little knight with a knack
A knack for playing pretend
Hopping with his head up high and
Swinging his dreams like a blade
The sticks and stones will sting
Like sand on a childhood scrape
But when the porch light flickers
You'll know it's time to shut it all down
After all no one likes a sore loser
Dug yourself too deep this time
Buried in a house shaped box
Getting played by your toys again and again
The hands shaking
The blood boiling
Just tear off your mask
Just tear off your mask
It's easy
Shut it all down
Just shut it all down
Just shut it
Down
Until you're someone
Tell me something I don't know (x4)

Imagine only talking about
The same three subjects
When the day seems long
Cause it's meant for the angels
Sitting across in a crowded room
Figuring out how bad their vices sound out loud
Imagine never looking behind
And holding out a hand for
The same people that your life
Depended on months ago
Taking that which we think is ours
And placing it all atop the rising fire
Who do you think is right?
What do you think is right?
Would you fall face first for these gentle souls?
Where, oh where, does the wind blow?
Where, oh where
Into
The last big Sunday
However much I make
Depends on where the wind blows
Where, oh where
Into

I'm looking for a reason to call you on my cell phone
And tell you all the things that I could never say to you before
Like sorry I got fucked up
I'm sorry I said those things
And I always think about the song you used to hum that goes
(Ba-da-da da-da da da da-da)
The memories flood back and fill the empty mug I called a heart
Struck by the realization that following your mind alone
Means that you're only half alive
And I'm ready
I'm ready to live
Thank you!
Still looking for that reason to call you on my cell phone
And tell you all the things that I could never talk about before
Like sorry I caused problems and acted childish
And I always think about the song you used to hum that goes
(Ba-da-da da-da da da da-da)

An empty mattress is the perfect way to remind me
That the only way I get by is constant doubtfulness and compromising
You say I'm like a burden you can't get rid of
You fucking lied!
You said you'd be there for me
Now we're isolated from each other
It's funny how it always works this way
My life was so much better before I met you
But if you stepped back in
I can be for it if you are

I left my house today
I spilled blood on the sidewalk
I scraped my knees and tore up both my hands
Just to prove a point
I'm still here, I'm still here
Tell me that I'm wrong a different way
I'll learn to hope for better management of time and space
Show me how to love a different way
I'll learn to let go
Clinging on to a bitter heart
Broadcasting shame and regret
When I grow up I'll buy the flower shop
All the colors of the world would belong to us
And we wouldn't have to struggle so much to hold it all together
Gaze! Into! The! Mirror! See! No one! Look! Back!
I still feel it all around
I still feel it all around

I want to say that I feel better
Truth is that things are really looking up
So I cleaned my room
Took the pictures down
Removed the memories 'cause I don't give a shit
I'd like to say I'm doing better
Some days I like to just go home and not say a word to anyone
Instead of being typecast as a person who's too fuckin' nice for
Their own good
No
Just say No
Excuse me can I have some privacy?
I know you miss me
Don't get any bright ideas when you see me
I don't play that
I'm not that kind of man
(Well, not anymore at least)
Taking care of my mind and my body cause I only have one
It'd really suck to see it go
I have to say that I am better
Spending my free time writing songs as a crutch
It's okay to be embarrassed by who you used to be
This time last year
Sit down and focus!

Individualize your home
Take care cause the salt still sits in water
It's not like I'm asking too much
Just a little bit more of your
Trust and discretion
It's not too late to show me your imperfections
Overlooking everything I've said since we first met
It's not the same
And you are
Well, you're not the same
Hey! Thanks for asking
I'm not okay!
It's not like I'm asking too much
Just help me out by giving me more of your time
