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 03:21
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 credits

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

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

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
