Good Lighting

Sitting in between the trees
You told me I was “good lighting”
Fleeting
Only around for the good stuff, honey
Sitting in the backseat
My favorite song but we’re fighting
Feeling
You know I run when it gets tough with the money
Will I wake up tomorrow
With your back facing me
Rethinking everything
A little beer in our cups
As always
We only ever take the long way home
I know you know what I mean
I wanna sit in the same bar and talk to you
I wanna listen to every album you tell me to
Cuz they’re all saying something we don’t say
I guess I’ll see you in two years or two days
That’s just the way that it’s been
Sitting up against the wall
I said, “You’re the song everyone loves”
Biting
Stuck in my head even when you don’t say much
Running out of phone calls
I can feel it after we hang up
Hiding
You make a joke that I’m losing my touch
Will I wake up tomorrow
With your back facing me
Rethinking everything
A little beer in our cups
As always
We only ever take the long way home
I know you know what I mean
I wanna sit in the same bar and talk to you
I wanna listen to every album you tell me to
Cuz they’re all saying something we don’t say
I guess I’ll see you in two years or two days
That’s just the way that it’s been
We’re in circles about the same thing
You keep it close to your chest like it’s nothing
The end of the night when we hit our ceiling
We go home having chased a feeling
I wanna sit in the same bar and talk to you
I wanna listen to every album you tell me to
I wanna sit in the same bar and talk to you
I wanna listen to every album you tell me to
Cuz they’re all saying something we don’t say
I guess I’ll see you in two years or two days
That’s just the way that it’s been

So Damn Pretty

I’m a little broken now
And I can’t even really help
Blaming New York City
You fucked me up a little bit
I used to be so damn pretty good at things
In a crowded room of people who just came to hear me sing
I smile and look them in the eyes
And sing my little love songs but really I am terrified of everyone
Especially the people who are always having fun
Maybe they’re cooler than me
Or maybe we’re all thinking the same damn thing
When the sun comes up
And I’m quiet
I’m talking to myself
I’m really trying
To make it feel good
To have it down for once
Make something happen
With a little more than luck
Along the way
It’s time to wake up now
My head is full of all these sounds
I want to shed them quickly
I can’t remember when I used to be so damn pretty optimistic
I used to wanna listen
All my feelings they’re lingering
Maybe we’re all thinking the same damn thing
When the sun comes up
And I’m quiet
I’m talking to myself
I’m really trying
To make it feel good
To have it down for once
Make something happen
With a little more than luck
Along the way
Wait a minute now
I need the sun to hit these shadows
I’m in the middle and I have to find a way out
Wait a minute now
I need the sun to hit these shadows
I’m in the middle and I have to find a way out
When the sun comes up
And I’m quiet
I’m talking to myself
I’m really trying
To make it feel good
To have it down for once
Make something happen
With a little more than luck
Along the way

Bug bites down my back
Your shoes left at the door
Count me in
Easy like 1, 2, 3, 4
A drive that lasts too long
But when we get there I don’t wanna be home
Your chewed up straw
Left alone in the cupholder
I talk too much
Sometimes never enough
This altercation humiliates something
I don’t think we can ever get away from
You might see me itching
Longing for the past
Reaching down my spine
For lines I wish you’d just say back
Underneath my wishes
I can’t help but laugh
Do you wanna come over
Just lie on my shoulder and act like this could last?
You show up on my screen
Favorite shirt with stripes
Call with nothing too important
Watched a show you I knew I’d like
You're at my fingertips
I’m in the palm of your hand
Question your tone
You deny that you’ll do it again
And we said everything
We wanted out of the conversation
This altercation humiliates something
I don’t think we can ever get away from
You might see me itching
Longing for the past
Reaching down my spine
For lines I wish you’d just say back
Underneath my wishes
I can’t help but laugh
Do you wanna come over
Just lie on my shoulder and act like this could last?
Do you even hear me
Sometimes you just have eyes
You get me to say sorry
Every time I pay the price
(Every time)
Do you even hear me
(I can't hear you hurting)
Sometimes you just have eyes
(You look so beautiful tonight)
You get me to say sorry
(Believe me, I’m still sorry)
Every time I pay the price
(Every time)
Do you even hear me
(I can't hear you hurting)
Sometimes you just have eyes
(You look so beautiful tonight)
You get me to say sorry
(Believe me, I’m still sorry)
Every time I pay the price
(Every time)
Do you even hear me
(I can't hear you hurting)
Sometimes you just have eyes
(You look so beautiful tonight)
You get me to say sorry
(Believe me, I’m still sorry)
Every time I pay the price
You might see me itching
Longing for the past
Reaching down my spine
For lines I wish you’d just say back
Underneath my wishes
(Believe me)
I can’t help but laugh
Do wanna come over
(Believe me, believe me)
Just lie on my shoulder and act like this could last?
Bug bites down my back
Your shoes left at the door
Count me in
Easy like 1, 2, 3, 4

Initials in the Trees

I promise to meet you down the road again
I’ll look for your hands
Your eyes are so green
I promise to think about what you said
Get it through my head
You understand me
Change is coming
And it won’t be clean
Change is waiting
In the undoing
Look at us
We had some monsters to fight
Held each other's hands through the night
When they’d show up in our dreams
Look at us
We loved like little kids
Endless
Initials in the trees
Change is coming
And it won’t be clean
Change is waiting
In the undoing
And I’m gonna head there
And it’ll have to turn out fine
Cuz maybe change can be a good thing
After all this time

Two Ghosts

Just two ghosts
I loved you the most
Maybe too much for one lifetime
We got on the phone
To let each other go
Now I can’t cross your line
And you can’t cross mine
If I go back one year or four
You’d be the only real smile on my camera roll
Take me back to nineteen years old
We’d have forever
I could’ve prepared a little more
There’s been nothing like going to heaven and back with you
We zoomed out
Alone this time around
To take in the full picture
I’ve found
We slowly lost our ground
We’re both to blame a little
All I can do is miss you now
If I go back one year or four
You’d be the only real smile on my camera roll
Take me back to nineteen years old
We’d have forever
I would’ve prepared a little more
There’s been nothing like going to heaven and back with you
Two ghosts
Someone I used to know
Goodbye on Main Street by the water
When we last spoke
You were no longer my home
But just a face oh so familiar
If I go back one year or more
You’d be a memory to look back on
Like a picture hanging on the wall
You’d take me back to 19 years old
When we said forever, like we knew anything at all
There was nothing like going to heaven and back with you
