I know, I know when something's going bad
Could that be cause I don't know where I'm at
Don't shy, don't shy, don't shy away from me
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry because of me
Everything's different now
Nothing's the same
My friends call out to me
But I hear a different name
I see my future
No money, no fame
Both of them worthless
At the end of the game
I know, I know when something's going wrong
My life won't be running for very long
Just like, don't want my friend or enemy
Find out, so mad when it's because of me

In Dreams

A different spark at a different time
I could have been yours, you could have been mine
A different man to hold your hand
And not just for the summer's span
It's not a mistake that someone made
It's not a change to a lesser grade
You got fucked up, or so it seems
You need me back, yeah in my dreams
(Yeah in my dreams) x2
If I want to
Could I hold you
Like it once was?
Is there no way?
Is it gone now
Cause I said so?
Would you be there
In the night time
When it's cold out?
Would you be there
In a new year?
Didn't think so
I could be wrong
What's in my head
I didn't hear what I thought you said
A different word to say what I mean
Is that what you mean?
A face in the crowd
Is not who she seems
She recognized you from one of her dreams
Or maybe you both knew all along
She'll come and talk at the end of the song

Cherry Tree

Hey, do you want to dance
You've been thinking about it since
God knows when
Everybody can tell but they don't understand
She took it so well from an outside stance
My best friend is dead
I've been thinking about all the
Words that he said
Darkness had conquered every thought in his head
Not really bothered by the tears that were shed
Come on, give me what I want
I fought so long, fought so hard
Isn't it something you're going to want all along
Calm down and face me with your whole heart
She won't let me be
Been kicking it since the last century
Flawless and feeble, like a young cherry tree
She's everything that I wish I could be

(All that I wanted, to be you)
You know that I want you
I know, I know you know it
I hope you want me too
I know, I know, I know it
It seems you saw right through,
I know, I know, I blew it
But that's just what I do,
I know, I know, I'll prove it
And I
I thought it went alright
I'll go about my life
Did you get what you need
I just don't understand
I thought that you'd be fine
Sat at the back of the line
You want me to join you
But I can't get behind
A life out by the sea,
I know, I know, I know it
Was not the life for me
I know, I know, I show it
If love is just a game
You know, I wouldn't know it
But if it's all the same
To you for you, I'd throw it
Cause I
I thought it went alright
I'll go about my life
Did you get what you need
I just don't understand
I thought that you'd be fine
Sat at the back of the line
You want me to join you
But I can't get behind

Who and What
03:38

Don't tell me what's happening here
When you know that I know
Don't tell me what you think that I'm like
When you know that I know
I know
Blue's the color and emotion
That I feel
Behind the steering wheel, line of people
To say hi
Is it right and is it normal
To regret
Things, or is it shameful and horrible
To be wrong
(Voicemail)
Who are these people
What are you doing

Perfect Dream
04:41

I'm still recording the thoughts in my mind
I know the quality ain't that high
I cut you open and here comes the blood
Your face is now all covered in mud
You said you're different, I hope that's true
You talk too much but I guess you'll do
I still think about the girls in my mind
I know their quality ain't that high
What happens if we're not
Nice to each other
What happens if we all
Say what we mean
What happens if we're all
Rude when we want to
Be, think that that'd be
The perfect dream
You heard "Be mine" but that's not what I said
It keeps going back and forth in my head
I wish that I could go back in time
To when I had no tears in my eyes
They said we should leave and I think we should too
I'll go anywhere if it means I'm with you
Your hands on the wall and we're committing crimes
Like back when the quality was so high
What happens if we're not
Nice to each other
What happens if we all
Say what we mean
What happens if we're all
Rude when we want to
Be, think that that'd be
The perfect dream

Wearing a Frown

I've got nothing when she's not around
Beautiful greens, they turn into browns
(Turn into browns)
I'm just a boy lost in the mall
(Just a boy)
When she's not holding my hand
(She's not hold)
She's certainly the best of them all
(She's the best)
And if she ever leaves me again
(If she leaves)
I'm wearing a frown
You ask me would I ever tell you a lie
I'm honest babe, I think I'd rather die
(Turn into browns)
If I don't have her by my side
(Just a boy)
I'm like a cigarette on the ground
(She's not hold)
And when you say you need time
(She's the best)
I don't know what you're talking about
(If she leaves)
I'm wearing a frown

Black and White

So many have come and gone but
I'll find it all by myself
There couldn't be another, forget about lovers
Shooting below her belt
Since 2013 in the spit stream
Tired and all alone
There wouldn't be any other
Not even a brother
Shaking her telephone
I don't really say it but I've been there too, I
Thought about it once so I guess that's something
Not really as simple as black and white
But I'll find it in my heart just to make it alright
Keep it all the same so it looks so good
But you're never gonna change till I say you should
I know it should be different and I hope you're gonna wait
Till I find it in my heart just to make it okay
Used to the short end of the rope by
Now if it's what I'm dealt
You splash around in the backyard pool
Like it's not so bad just to kid yourself
Since 2013, like it's so mean
Taking one for the team
It's not at all like it's been, wrapped up in a ribbon
Stop pulling its only seam
I don't really say it but I've been there too, I
Thought about it once so I guess that's something
Not really as simple as black and white
But I'll find it in my heart just to make it alright
Keep it all the same so it looks so good
But you're never gonna change till I say you should
I know it should be different and I hope you're gonna wait
Till I find it in my heart just to make it okay

Just what you thought
You got exactly what you want
You change your mind
But you and I still live in real time
Could it be true
That he and him went there with you
It won't be me
The one you think you're killing softly
If it's a mess you made
Don't you go calling my name
Cause it's the same old thing
You have been doing for days
You did the same old crime
Even though it didn't pay
If it's a mess you made
Don't you go calling my name
It's not Halloween
But you'll wear the makeup inbetween
Like everyday
You're starting trouble, send it my way
"Not who you are"
But you're you the most when you get the scars
And when you cry
You're not fooling me, but maybe you inside
If it's a mess you made
Don't you go calling my name
Cause it's the same old thing
You have been doing for days
You did the same old crime
Even though it didn't pay
If it's a mess you made
Don't you go calling my name

Hey You
06:18

My friend, do you remember me
You might from the passenger seat
"Relax", is that what you said to me
Don't stress until you get on your feet
All I wanted
(All he wants these days)
Somewhere safe
(Safe Johnny, no way)
You say "No problem"
(You laugh, cause that's a lie)
"I'll follow through"
(I'm feeling something new)
Hey you
Can we be friends
Said hey you
It really depends now
Hey you
I don't wanna fight
But hey, you
Will be alright
(Did anyone follow me into this place
Where are all of my firends
Where's my money where's my face
My loves, my hates, all my passions erased
I guess no one knew them but me)
My love, could I reach out to you
I can't trust the things I want to pursue
Dim lights, just so that you can't read
My mind is in a race to defeat me
All she wanted
(All she wants this time)
Someone sane
(Sane Johnny, yeah right)
I say "No problem"
(The last time you lie to her)
"I'll be that for you"
(Just tell her something true)
Hey you
Could we be friends
Hey you
It really depends
Hey you
I don't wanna fight
But hey, you
Will be alright
