The Best Person You Know
04:57
|

you're a better man now than I'll ever be
but if it's fine by them, then it's fine by me
I'll always assume the worst
how do these seventeen-year-olds have their shit together before I do?
I screw myself out anything good
it feels nice to get home
before the sun goes down
it feels nice to be home
with no one else around
this is the very first time that I've felt this way
but if I wait too long then it might go away
it's always the best person you know
who can't get away with anything
does that make you think "there must be something wrong with him"?
it feels nice to get home
before the sun goes down
it feels nice to be home
with no one else around
(I was pushing all the buttons but it wasn't getting quieter)
(you kept on growing while I stayed in one place, that's one thing that I'll never get over)
it feels nice to get home
(I was pushing all the buttons but it wasn't getting quieter)
before the sun goes down
(you kept on growing while I stayed in one place, that's one thing that I'll never get over)
it feels nice to be home
with no one else around
is this too hard for you to hear?
imagine how I feel
imagine how bad I feel
is this too hard for you to hear?
imagine how I feel
imagine how bad I feel
when I leave
I won't hate you
when I close the door
I won't after all
and when I leave
oh, I can't hate you
when I close the door
I don't hate you after all
is this too hard for you to hear?
imagine how I feel
imagine how bad I feel
is this too hard for you to hear?
imagine how I feel
imagine how bad I feel
is this too hard for you to hear?
imagine how I feel
imagine how bad I feel
is this too hard for you to hear?
imagine how I feel
imagine how bad I feel

Waving Goodbye
04:00
|
|||
bring nothing to the table
except maybe some recordings of poorly formed thoughts
were you scared of taking a life?
or were you scared of getting caught?
I'm sitting here
hitting myself in the face
thinking I'm the worst part of your day
I'm scared that I won't care
when I need to care
I'm sorry I'm not there
I'm waving goodbye for the last time
I'm ok with never seeing my friends
I'll spend most of the day sitting by myself
but they'll always reach out in the end
unless they've found somebody else
I think I'm losing touch
with all the things I love
no, it's not enough
I'm waving goodbye for the last time
well what is there to talk about?
after all this time
you don't need to see me, you don't need to hear from me
you'll never hear from me again.
so what? it's over now.
it's all over now
I'm scared that I won't care
when I need to care
sorry I'm not there
I'm waving goodbye for the last time
you couldn't make me try
you tried to change my mind
what is left to say?
I'm waving goodbye for the last time

Saturday Night Life
03:18
|

don't write me back
cos I don't understand where my head is at
thinking about how you think of me
while I retreat into myself
"play us a song"
well, I don't know any
say I belong
under the table, knocking feet with you
I was thinking you might like this
but I'm still feeling like I can't do this
leave him alone
he's decomposing right next to you
(he doesn't know what to do)
you know, I was thinking you might like this
but I'm still feeling like I can't do this
bury my body in your back garden
feeling like nothing, living a life like this

Drowsy

I had a dream last night
and in the dream you died
I thought the fault was mine
although I'm trying to stay away
I'll check to see next week
you're on the TV screen
maybe now I can sleep
oh, but I'm trying to stay awake
how many lives have I ruined?
how many people have I hurt?
it hurts to know
but I gotta know
I live in fear of what I will do to myself
when the right time comes
don't get too comfortable now
it feels so much worse
how lives have I ruined?
how many people have I killed?
I think my lungs are collapsing
I'm trying to explain this feeling to myself
but it doesn't have to feel like something else
everything I say is incoherent
but maybe that's for the best

Unkind Words
03:00
|
|||
I was standing in the hallway
thinking "what the hell did I say?"
you can never see it my way
I guess we're one and the same
why did nobody tell me?
why don't they wanna help me out?
what's this feeling all about?
it's alright, not unkind
I don't mind
I don't mind, it's alright
I'm the nervous wreck in question
but it's not your problem right now
a complicated situation
and all I do is cast doubt
what happens when I run out of things to talk about?
can anyone hear me right now?
it's alright, not unkind
I don't mind
I don't mind, it's alright
something ruptured, something changed
some thing changed inside your brain
I don't mind
just relax
sometimes you need to think about the things you can be
rather than the things you wanna be
not that it's completely unattainable
sometimes it's unrealistic
sometimes you use your imagination a little too much
you'll find a way

Just a Feeling
03:21
|

I think he got sick of me
if I cover my eyes while I sleep, what will I see?
when it rains, I get worried
it's necessary, but it scares me
I don't care what you do to me
just do it quick
so I can start getting over it
I'm finding out things that I never even wanted to know
it suffocates me, I don't hate it
I need to be something else in relation to you
I've realised what you were
and I don't like what you've become
so just walk me home
so hey, what's the deal?
I'm just another option
but for you I think it's real
I know that you might hate me for this
it's just a feeling, I don't mean it
I need to be something else in relation to you
I've realised what you were
and I don't like what you've become
so just walk me home
every day the light gets dimmer
and my love for you gets that much slimmer
if I wait for you, does that make it better?
another night we're not together
(x2)

I Can't Drive
04:02
|

I was a moment -
less than a minute of your life
it's not really over
things will never be "just fine"
tell me I'm wrong and the world's not ending
when the lights go off I just can't stand it
if I tell you what's wrong, will you understand what I mean?
when the power goes out and I can't seem to reach you
go away for a week and see who misses you
waking up half-charged, so fried I can't think
missed the moment and I don't know how
(x4)
tell me I'm wrong and the world's not ending
when the lights go off I just can't stand it
if I tell you what's wrong, will you understand what I mean?
when the power goes out and I can't seem to reach you
go away for a week and see who misses you
waking up half-charged, so fried I can't think
when you leave tomorrow, will you take me with you?
I can't drive a car but there's plenty I can do
maybe I wanna live to see next week

Looking Down
02:54
|
|||
half the time I wanna go to sleep
so I'll go to sleep
and I'll admit defeat
other times I need to talk to you
but you're working nights
and I... I guess that's alright
try to explain this feeling to myself
but it doesn't feel like anything else
I still think about you thinking of me
I don't mind how I look
but I don't like how I feel
no one has to know what I think of myself now
you're looking down on me
but I don't mind
I'd take a minute but
it's not the time
try to explain this feeling to myself
but it doesn't feel like anything else
I still think about you thinking of me
I don't mind how I look
but I don't like how I feel
no one has to know what I think of myself now

Fault
04:09
|
|||
light from a different angle
are there affirmations that I'm living without?
there's nothing that I can do
it just feels good to think about
I didn't wanna tell you
so I just thought I should tell you
I'll walk you home
I've got cold hands and nothing to hold onto
I'll take the fall and it won't be your fault
whatever it is, I can fix it all
I would never tell you what I think
I've been drying on this wall for a thousand years
don't become codependent
this is not what I intended
most of my fantasies are just about going to the store
I'll take the fall and it won't be your fault
whatever it is, I can fix it all
I'll take the fall and it won't be your fault
whatever it is, I can fix it all
I don't need to show you everything
but I think the world is ending
whatever it is, I could fix it all

the fast approaching issue
is the thing that hits you
I didn't mean for it to hit you so hard (so hard)
tomorrow is in your hands
someone should make you understand
that I'm the worst person you know
I've gotta let this go
I'm frustrated and complacent
but I'll deal with this one later
you're still the best person I know
I hope I'm getting better
I would love to make a living like this
but I don't even know
if I can live like this
I'm the worst person you know
I've gotta let this go
I'm frustrated and complacent
but I'll deal with this one later
you're still the best
I won't think about the future
'cause I'm still thinking bout the past
how nothing even matters
because nothing ever lasts
I'm the worst person you know
I've gotta let this go
I'm the worst person you know
I've gotta let this go
I'm frustrated and complacent
so I'll deal with this one later
you're still the best
