I care way too much about your stupid opinion don’t ask me why time doesn’t pass too harshly if I don’t think about it even when you don’t reply cab rides on the way home they make me feel so alone and cab rides on my way to see you they don’t make me feel any better you take me up to heaven’s gate every time i see you but i know you won’t let me in and I know you don’t love me like I love you but that’s fine, it is fine you take me up to heaven’s gate every time i see you but i know you won’t let me in and I know you don’t love me like I love you but that’s fine, it is fine I am flying I am flying up to the stars in my spaceship I care way too much about your stupid opinion but you won’t let me in

These Bugs 04:38
as the stars they fade away the sky turns pink and blue i stayed up through the night and i wish that you did too nobody’s up to talk to me how will i keep myself sane? the buzzing of these little bugs will keep me up ‘till the day but tell me do you feel the same? but tell me do you feel the same? my love, my love, you keep my head above these shoulders these shoulders these bugs, these bugs, they’re the ones who listen to my problems and i’d hope you would too if you were awake now the sun begins to show the shy moon is away for now the howling wind doesn’t start to blow(not just yet) when you’re up let’s meet in town but tell me why am i to blame? You solve my problems i hope you’re here to stay and i say my love, my love, you keep my head above these shoulders these shoulders these bugs, these bugs, they’re the ones who listen to my problems and i’d hope you would too if you were awake

Baby Steps 03:08
I fought the monsters underneath my bed I’ve sailed across the oceans in my head I made a parachute from tablecloth and string Played with the dinosaurs before they went extinct And you were always by my side Apart from when you’d seek and I would hide And I know that we’re so far away from these games we used to play But I just can’t lose sight of yesterday I never grew up like you wanted me to I’m still the kid I was in 2002 Now all these thoughts are knocking inside my brain I can assure you that’s the only thing that’s changed And you were always by my side Apart from when you’d seek and I would hide And I know that we’re so far away from these games we used to play But I just can’t lose sight of yesterday Well the floorboards creak under pressure But I’ve got room to expand Yeah the floorboards creak under pressure Don’t worry I’ve got plans

I’m okay Everyone gets tired of me anyways And I know I’m nothing special But you were And I’m fine Even if you won’t see me half the time I’ll get through Or at least I’ll try But who am I kidding I changed my life around for you You made me think you loved me too and now you’re gone So do you wear the hat I bought you Or does it just sit on the shelf Along with all the conversations we shared only with ourselves I called you smart, funny and beautiful To anyone who asked And all he does is call you up When he’s in the mood to be an ass But who am I kidding I changed my life around for you You made me think you loved me too and now you’re gone Who am I kidding I’m not okay and I’m just trying To make it through the day without feeling like I’m dying I feel empty I feel broken There’s some words I left unspoken But right now, I’m torn in two Cause you’re the one who leaned in closer, Got me hooked but now it’s over And I just can’t believe I meant so little to you But who are you kidding I changed my life around for you You wanted me to and now you’re gone Who are you kidding You’re not okay and you’re just trying To push me out of your life and skip all of the crying I’m okay

Missed Calls 01:18
Went back to our favorite spot today Was so long ago but it felt like yesterday When i met you I got butterflies And saw the sparkle in your eyes baby I tried to call you once but you declined I guess I'll just wait here for you to pick up your line it felt like an eternity because you don't have the time for me no more You've got missed calls And voicemails From the guy who didn't realize what he had You've got missed calls And voicemails From me
6.
Got no more room inside my head And it's time to clear some space But i just can't seem to bring myself to delete you From this crowded brain My memory card’s full So we can’t play anymore games Until i find the strength in me to delete you From this crowded brain And when you asked if i still felt it I said no but that’s not true Cause how could i come up with words To say i’m still in love with you And all that I think about is the sound of your voice And the way you looked at me The night that everyone around us slept By the glow of the tv And I know That i can’t let it show But you get to me With every word you speak And every breath you breathe Puts me deeper under And i cannot explain What’s in this crowded brain It might drive me insane But it’s for the better And maybe one day when you’re all alone You’ll think of me And maybe we’ll be better on our own And when you asked if i still felt it I said no but that’s not true Cause how could i come up with words To say i’m still in love with you And all that I think about is the sound of your voice And the way you looked at me The night that everyone around us slept By the glow of the tv And I know That i can’t let it show But you get to me With every word you speak And every breath you breathe Puts me deeper under And i cannot explain What’s in this crowded brain It might drive me insane But it’s for the better

Cliff 03:15
My fingers are blistered the waves are tall i’ve been hanging with you all night long and the water’s so damn blue i’m just glad to be here with you (and yesterday we) sat on the highway side of the road we had a flat but we’re still mellow and now we’re just watching the birds we’ve been up far too long now to feel down We’ll end up at the cliff again as long as i’m with my best friend. since grade 7 and i hope it’ll always be the same if it’s not broken there’s no need to change My fingers are blistered the waves are tall i’ve been hanging with you all night long and the water’s so damn blue i’m just glad to be here with you (and yesterday we) sat on the highway side of the road we had a flat but we’re still mellow and now we’re just watching the birds we’ve been up far too long now to feel down

Boys, Boys 04:05
Take some time away from here Trying so hard to tuck it all away Isn’t it funny What everyone else seems to think? But there is nothing Just say nothing Wouldn’t you rather be friends? Than something not promised That will burn in the end And leave you shattered Even more fractured than now Let those hopeful feelings die And let yourself down easier this time Put some space between yourselves It gets tiring to hold the weight of someone else Please don’t feel obligated To navigate this road with me Its hard enough to drive Without you fogging up the windows Wouldn’t you rather be friends? Than something not promised That will burn in the end And leave you shattered Even more fractured than now Let those hopeful feelings die And let yourself down easier this time I’m not sure I love you But I know you love me less She’s running towards you While I can’t catch my breathe Please don’t go unless you feel that like you have to Wouldn’t you rather be friends? Than something not promised That will burn in the end And leave you shattered Even more fractured than now Let those hopeful feelings die And let yourself down easier this time

I’m here just trying to be happy but I can’t do that with you around I don’t think you’re stopping me but I think I’m stopping myself Hate is a strong word and I don’t like to use it But that’s the best way to describe it I don’t want to Have to see you again ‘Cause i know if i do, i’m gonna wanna Spend the rest of my life with you And I know you don’t Feel the same way about me But maybe you do But maybe you do My feelings don’t make sense anymore I’m not sure they ever did Let’s sit against a fence sometime soon and Maybe i’ll tell you about the time that I had a dream that We kissed in your car And all of the petals, they fell together, we fell together I don’t want to Have to see you again ‘Cause i know if i do, i’m gonna wanna Spend the rest of my life with you And I know you don’t Feel the same way about me But maybe you do But maybe you do And if i don’t ever see you again I won’t cry, i’ll pretend, yeah i’ll pretend I’ll keep picking up the flowers, i’ll keep counting down the hours Untill one day it’ll stop He loves me so, He loves me not He loves me so, He just forgot
