I’m over getting old
and always blooming late.
They say the world’s my oyster,
but it feels more like a grave.
Don’t tell me anything.
Don’t give me your advice.
If I want your opinion,
I’ll be sure to ask you nice.
And I’ll say 'oh.'
I’m jaded to the core
And maybe that’s ok
I’ll never have that dream job
With my own 401K
Don’t tell me anything,
This isn’t about you.
If I’m dead when I’m 30
That’s just 5 years overdue
And I’ll say 'oh.'

Well we didn’t care if the leather was cold,
if the windshield was frozen, or
tape deck was old.
We were happy to have it
and happy to go on the road.
It was springtime in Jersey and weather was nice.
We had naïve ideas of what life would be like.
We slept in the back and were happy to go on the road.
Hey now, this has all been a test. You can go back whenever you want.
Hey now, go back whenever you want.
It was 2013 and far from the worst.
We spent the whole summer outside without shirts,
back when we were still talking, when we would still go to the shows.
We hung out because we had nothing to do.
We turned on the AC in your living room.
We spent days writing songs and thought they would take over the world.
Hey now, this has all been a test. You can go back whenever you want.
Hey now, go back whenever you want.

Some girls
would rather talk about their curls
or cover up their face with paint and wait
for someone to swoop in and make them fall in love.
Some girls,
talk angry on the phone and hurl
mean words at everyone, but who am I to say
that that’s the reason they are not in love.
Some girls,
go dancing every night and twirl
to get a better sight of everyone who’s watching
and they’re wishing they were all in love.
They’re all enchanting.
They’re all doing fine without me.
They’re in love…
They’re in love….
Some girls,
would rather make you laugh.
Some girls, will be your better half,
and they’ll believe in you,
and you’ll believe in her cuz you’re in love.

No one likes to work, we like to cry.
We’re here to complain until we die.
Watch the homeless writhe, don’t bat an eye.
We’re here to complain until we die.

I feel your energy and fall apart
Head and heart are torn in two
You don't have to leave to make me feel alone
Blue by you

Too Little, Too Late

Home, I’m not coming home.
Too little, too late.
For all of the times that I thought I could make it,
I just kept running away.
And every door is just locking behind me.
I can’t come back the same way.
I’m not coming home.
Home, I’m not coming home.
Too little too late.
I know that you’ll have me,
I know that you’re there but I
can’t come back if I’ll stay.
And every flight is a constant reminder
I can’t come home the same way.
I’m not coming home.
I’ll keep my thoughts to myself.
I won’t be a raincloud blocking the sun.
I’ll keep my head facing down
And sleep off the things I can’t outrun.
I'm not coming home.

Brave enough to be outside.
Strange enough to be alive.
Let my worries take their turn.
Blink if you can see me burn.
But I don’t want to know.
Dumb enough to lie in bed.
Consciousness will rear its head.
Praying with an open mouth,
I don’t know what will come out, and
I don’t want to know.
Wishing I could be so wise
will leave me feeling less alive.
But I try,
I still try.
I don’t want to know.
