Born Too Late
03:45

For the first time lately, I felt my parents words
They settled on my shoulders and whispered in my ears
Son, you’re wearing out, you’re learning now there’s nothing for you here
So if you fill your heart and play your cards, well this could be your year
All my friends, they were once gold..
We spoke slow for something real
We broke bones to let them heal
And the fires all went out on their own
Our fires all went out on their own
So don’t be so hard, I’ll be here to take the blame
You’ve gone too far, now these streets don’t look the same
All my friends, they were once gold
All my friends, they know better now
All my friends are spreading wings and I’m afraid that I’ll turn to dust.
That I’ll turn to dust
We spoke slow for something real
We broke bones to let them heal
We spent most of our lives under suburban skies
We don’t know anymore through our city windows
And the fires all went out on their own
Our fires all went out on their own
Maybe we were born too late to follow in our father’s steps
Maybe we were born too late, we’re stuck hoping there’s something left
Born too late
We spoke slow for something real
We broke bones to let them heal
We spent days under suburban skies
We don’t know anymore through our city windows
These fires all went out on their own
Our fires all went out on their own

Stay Warm

Catch your breath
For an hour or so, you can take it slow
And trace your steps
Back to the place where everything went wrong
You said “I’ll cross that bridge when we come to it”
But it won’t show up for miles, it seems that you
Just want to feel something new again
Stay warm for the weekend, for the winter, for the year
Stay inside ’til the summer, then show the sunlight you’re still here
Dry your eyes, it’s time to face the facts remember that when you
Try to hide, you stay up late to forgot those days that you
You jumped ship ‘cause you needed it
I threw a lifeline out for miles, it seems that you
You just want to feel something new again
Stay warm for the weekend, for the winter, for the year
Stay inside ’til the summer, then show the sunlight you’re still here
No, you don’t know what love is, but you hate who you are without it
Stay warm forever, even after your whole world disappears
So you know, we’re all making this up as we go
We wouldn’t have it any other way
So you know, we’re all okay with being alone
I never lied to you before today
Catch your breath, for an hour or so, you can take it slow
Or you can burn everything that’s left of us
Stay warm for the weekend, for the winter, for the year
Stay inside ’til the summer, then show the sunlight you’re still here
No, you don’t know what love is, but you hate who you are without it
Stay warm forever, even after your whole world disappears

Talk About Anything
03:22

Another year, and I still carry your name
Such a weight, I let it hang around my neck
Your sister says we’ve started looking the same
Such a shame, that I haven’t seen it yet
As the sun sets on your life
Will you leave it all behind?
Someday I’ll tell you all the things you want to know
Like every day spent in this town, I wait for you to come around
If it’s not too late to call, I swear I will
So we can talk about anything, we can talk about anything
Another year, your place is falling apart
Hard to think that maybe this is what you want
Empty halls, well they’re still screaming for sound
Inner voice, it’s so much louder than you ever thought it could be
As the sun sets on your life
Will you leave it all behind?
Or will you try your best to find
What you’ve been missing all this time
Like a child growing up before your eyes
Someday I’ll tell you all the things you want to know
Like when my friends all moved away, and how I wished that they would stay
If it’s not too late to call, I swear I will
So we can talk about anything, we can talk about anything
It took a funeral to bring you back
At least we found a way make it last
Goodnight and goodbye
Goodnight and goodbye
Someday I’ll tell you all the things you want to know
We tried to build this love to last, as if it ever had a chance
If it’s not too late to call
If it’s not too late to call
If it’s not too late to call, I swear I will
So we can talk about anything, we can talk about anything

Sweet Nothing
02:53

You drive me crazy lately
The moment I wake up in your bed
I need the safety I found
In the room I built up in my head
I’ve let myself go
You’ve let your hair grow (down to the floor)
I’ll hang my head low
When your family asks why I don’t come ‘round anymore
Oh, what a mess we made
When expectations fade away
But I can’t believe everything that I see
You’re sweet but it’s nothing to me
You sent me spinning around
From the moment your eyes met my own
But now I get dizzy every time
That I see your number up on the phone
So I’m counting down
All the cracks in the sidewalk that lead me away from you
Oh, what a mess we made
When expectations fade away
But I can’t believe everything that I see
You’re sweet but it’s nothing to me
To me, you were a dream
When I thought that this was all I need
Now, I’m not the man
I promised you that one day I would be
Oh, what a mess we made
When expectations fade away
But I can’t believe everything that I see
No, I can’t believe everything that I see
I can’t believe everything that I see
You’re sweet but it’s nothing to me

Tell Me I'm Good
03:26

Was it all a dream?
It can’t be as easy as it seems
To ever find someone to take a chance on me
We could let this bloom
Like the flowers in your room
So when the summer comes, we’ll know just what to do
We’ll know just what to do
It’s lights out all over town and they can’t see the smiles on our faces in the dark
I meant what I said, I’d cross the world to watch you dance
And to hell with them, they wish they understood
So tell them we’re good
Do we still have time?
Before they pull you from my side
Here’s to the only thing I’ve ever gotten right
We’ve gotta make our move
Because the sun is rising soon
And when they come for you, they’ll come for me too
They’re coming for me too
It’s lights out all over town and they can’t see the smiles on our faces in the dark
I meant what I said, I’d cross the world to watch you dance
And to hell with them, they wish they understood
So tell them we’re good
Stay safe
You’ll go your own way
When you find your own place
You’re leaving them here
Whatever they say
“This is the right way”
When we find our own place
We’re leaving them here
It’s lights out all over town and they can’t see the smiles on our faces in the dark
I meant what I said, I’d cross the world to watch you dance
And to hell with them, they wish they understood
So tell them we’re good
