It's gonna be so hard
To watch you leave
Because in the end I never really knew you
And though it seems like cutting nonexistent strings
Would likely take away the sting
I think I'd rather miss something
Than nothing
Never thought I'd give a eulogy
For dreams and awkward scenes
The fragile beginnings of birds
Who never find their wings
And if I could tell it the way it looked outside reality
It wouldn't be boring, no
It couldn't be
So here's to
The thought of you
I knew the ending all along
Did nothing
Of all the things that I could do
At least I never did you wrong
So this is how the beat's supposed to read
A little more busy
More dancing in the streets
A little less unrequited sleep
Don't regret a single word I said
It's more the ones I held in deep, yeah
They started to scare me
So unruly
So here's to
The thought of you
I knew the ending all along
Did nothing
Of all the things that I could do
At least I never did you wrong
So here's to
The thought of you
I knew the ending all along
Did nothing
Of all the things that I could do
At least I never did you wrong
It's gonna be so hard
To watch you leave
Because in the end I never really knew you
And though it seems like cutting nonexistent strings
Would likely take away the sting
I think those strings were really strings
And I haven't learned a thing
So here's to
The thought of you
I knew the ending all along
Did nothing
Of all the things that I could do
I never meant to do you wrong

They never told me I was in for
A hellscape so surreal
Goldstein's on the TV
Annoying Orange on his heels
I never wanted to be involved
Give anything to say nothing at all
But rebel or empire or in between
You're still a part when the galaxy falls
So hold me tighter
So hold me tighter
So hold me tighter
So hold me tighter
They always told me I was headstrong
Rocky running in my dreams
Now I've sold my head for income
A script unfit for movie scenes
I always wanted to see it all
Understanding that standing still made me feel small
But little did I know
The bottleneck would close around
Money and money and interview calls
So hold me tighter
So hold me tighter
So hold me tighter
So hold me tighter
Truth of a cruel world is
We have our best dreams while we sleep
Because every fucking sunrise
Bares their true naivety
So hold me tighter
So hold me tighter
So hold me tighter
You up-all-nighter
So hold me, hold me tighter
You stay-the-nighter

Why is everyone so jaded?
Well, you know, it's complicated
Do you ever feel the rush of freedom
In this stillest, famined kingdom
It still goes on
It still goes on
Brothers in a bedroom window
By the candlelight of their Nintendo
Mystified and wide-eyed inside
Til they leave their reticences behind
It still goes on
It still goes on
Even when there's no sight of dawn
It still, yeah it still goes on
He's falling apart, "don't patronize me"
Til they bind him back up with "you're hurt and we see"
Three to one bed, watching the lightning
Peaceful instead of terrifying
It still goes on
It still goes on
Even when there's no sight of dawn
It still, yeah it still goes on
It still goes on
It still goes on
Even when there's no sight of dawn
It still, yeah it still goes on

I don't know who I'm
Gonna be
The weight of my mind
Is hurting me
I've still got time, though
So I won't cry, no
Breathe the worst in
Let it be
To overcome it
For all to see
We've still got time, though
So we won't cry, no we won't
We've still got time, though
So we won't cry, no
No we won't
Keep your head up
Keep your eyes wide
Mend your heartstrings
It will subside
Keep your head up
Keep your eyes wide
Mend your heartstrings
It will subside
Keep your head up
Keep your eyes wide
Mend your heartstrings
It will subside
Keep your head up
Keep your eyes wide
Mend your heartstrings
It will subside
I don't know who I'm gonna be
But love is gently shaping me

Born to run
Are we born to run
God I make the same mistakes
Over and over again
Listen to the bluebird sing
Every key that I can’t reach
It’s heavy, it’s heavy
Born to run
I think we’re born to run
So why do I come back home
My heart is evergreen
Because everything I’ve seen
Hasn’t killed me
See, see
This world
It tires me out
But I won’t let it
Hold me down
And so
In other words
I’m no mistake
Just a work in progress

I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta wanna be there
I know you're going somewhere
And I sorta wanna be there
I never liked the mornings
Weight of responsibilities
Then you took em like a thief
Made an ingrate out of me
I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta wanna be there
I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta wanna be there
Holding my head up high
Making a fool, just like old times
I can’t stand it, no, I can’t stand it
Tell me to go, I’ll be just fine
I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta wanna be there
I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta, I wanna be there
I’m so much older
So, so much older
Oh the wings that I have earned
But you’ve got me
Oh, you’ve got me
Pinned down to the dirt
I’m so much older
So, so much older
Oh the wings that I have earned
But you’ve got me
Oh, you’ve got me
Pinned down to the dirt
I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta wanna be there
I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta, I wanna be there
I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta wanna be there
I know you’re going somewhere
And I sorta, I wanna be there too

I just can’t see the way the future’s headed from here
It gets to me that I can’t see the way to live
To live and give
The world can become such a dark place without light
Sometimes, I think that I’m not good enough
That I can’t get anything right
I wish that I could keep my cool today
For others’ peace of mind
Instead, I’m waging wars with thoughts that never really end
And we don’t have to pretend
I hate what I’ve become, so
I’ll work on changing it soon
If I can find some time to find out
What it really means to love all of you

Sometimes

And sometimes
We grow oldest when we’re not looking
And sometimes
What went wrong is never put right
We could fall on our faces
We could lie
And sometimes
When the rain breaks through the starlight
It feels like there’s two kingdoms
Fighting for me
We could lose any minute
But we must, we must
Try
We must try
We must try
We must try
Oh we must

Friend

Looked to my old friend
I punched him square in the jaw
Said I don’t know him
And everybody saw
Yeah, peace and love works
Until their words hurt
Until your knees shake
Until your dreams burn
Became a doormat
Rather be fodder than fed
I ascertained that
Nobody cared what I said
Yeah, slow to speak works
Until their words hurt
Until your knees shake
Until the world burns
Never pretend to know the end
See me
Living the way I used to say would kill me
Never pretend to know the end, see me
Living the way I used to would kill me
I miss my old friend
We grew up out of the blood
And every year or so
We talk about how we must
Must’ve been tired
To’ve snapped back then
Now we don’t have to think the same way to
Call each other friend

I miss January
Back when the snow was falling down
I overcompensated
You only let my words ring out
Then came yours
What more could I ask for
It’s quiet
And morning comes too soon
I see it
The closest star’s in view
Oh what I’d give
To be this close to you
Thought I could live forever
Head over heels, land, air, and sea
But now we’re getting older
And where there once was a fire in me
Only smoke
The world turns so slowly
It’s quiet
And morning comes too soon
I see it
The closest star’s in view
Oh what I’d give
To be this close to you
Heaven’s not gone away
Heaven’s not gone away
It does not go away
It does not go away
It does not go away
It does not go away
It does not go away
It does not go away
It grows and it changes with us
It grows and it changes with us
And if by chance we meet again
The words stay the same
I feel the most when I hear
Your name
