Why the hurry, running late again?
Always worried for everyone but yourself
Take a minute, or a couple of days
To catch a breath and to rethink
Oh I’m sorry, kept you waiting again
Tried my hardest or at least my best
Took a minute to find a parking spot
And then my phone played my favorite song
Why the hurry, got a place to be
Always worried to miss out on everything
Take a minute, take as long as you need
To catch a breath and get back on your feet
Take as long as you need
There’s no rushing this
You will know when the time is right
I’ll be right here
Oh I’m sorry, forgot that we made plans
I lost my phone but you can reach me on messenger
I’ll get on there every a couple of days
Oh well, I try
Oh I’m sorry, forgot that we made plans
I lost my phone but you can reach me on messenger
I’ll get on there every a couple of days
Oh well, I try
Take as long as you need
There’s no rushing this
You will know when the time is right
Take as long as you need
There’s no rushing this
You will know when the time is right
I’ll be right here
Why the hurry, running late again?
Always worried for everyone but yourself
Take a minute, or a couple of days
To catch a breath

Trying to see the best in this
But keep thinking about what could’ve been
And you should know
I think about you when I’m feeling low
There’s so much left of me that I can’t show you anymore
Sitting down on the bathroom floor
With the heater on staring at my phone
Am I hiding away or just finding a way to cope
Trying to see the best in this
But there’s always something left to miss
And you should know
I still think about you and I can’t just go
On no more
Sitting down on the bathroom floor
With the heater on staring at my phone
Am I hiding away or just finding a way to cope
I’m trying to see the best in this
But keep thinking about what could’ve been
And you should know
I think about you when I’m feeling low
There’s so much left of me that I can’t show you anymore, anymore, anymore

Settling Down
03:43
|

I’ve been settling down
And it isn’t that scary
I’m still staying out
Late a lot lately
And I miss hanging out
Like the way we used to
But I don’t like to force
These things upon you
I’ve been settling down
It is kinda scary
I miss hanging out
With you, with you, with you, with you
I’ve been settling down
And it does kinda scare me
I love hanging out
With you, with you, with you, with you
With you, with you, with you, with you

This Much Of Anything
03:14

Here we are again
Yet it doesn’t feel the same, my friends
A lost and found sincerity
Try to roll with it
And to unlearn the cynic’s skits
Without getting spooked to bits
How are you and what have you been up to since you finished school
Do you feel at ease in your new neighborhood
Seems like you’re getting there like I always knew you would
Try to allow yourself to feel good
Yeah, we’re going in
Without hesitation
But with a big ass freakin’ grin
How are you and what have you been up to since you finished school
Do you feel at ease in your new neighborhood
Seems like you’re getting there like I always knew you would
Me, I’m good, or at least good enough to keep on pushing through
and are you really asking or should I give you
one of those ‘I’m doing greats’ like the way I used to
Because those will no longer do
Allow yourself to feel good
Those will no longer do

Just Fine
02:56

I don’t know how to respond
So I stumble through cliches
These phrases are all stock
Not able to relate
I’ve got nothing left to give
But for once I’m okay with it
Wo-oh-wo-oh
It’ll do just fine
But when the silence hits the room
It really hits home
The sweats, the fears, the shivvers
Doomsday scenarios
I’ve got nothing left to say
But for once I’ll do it my own way
It’s hard to stay afloat
When the surface is part of the unknown
It’s easy to sink down
When the deep feels just like your hometown
It’s hard to stay afloat
When the surface is part of the unknown
It’s easy to sink down
When the deep feels just like your hometown
Wo-oh-wo-oh
It’ll do just fine

This Is It, Right?

Left without a hitch
Last one standing in the end
Weirdly unimpressed
Warily dreaming this is it
With highs as high as these
Scared of what’s growing underneath
Try to hold on, try to believe
There’s still some motion left in me
Damn, I didn’t go
Stuck inside my head today
Maybe tomorrow
The old familiar way
With lows as low as these
What is still hiding underneath
What if this time I can’t hold on,
I’m too far gone, I can’t unfreeze

The Deadbeat Strut
02:55
|
|||
|
Deadbeat singing on a hazy night
The cat ate the bird but that’s alright
Its broken wings were beyond repair
That’s just life sometimes, rather cruel, unfair
No one signs up to become
The loser at the water cooler
Daydreaming about how to woo her
No
The moment’s gone but we’re still here
It flew right by and disappeared
Deadbeats yelling at the moon
“Shit’s fucked, but what can you do?”
Sure, some of it heals over time
For now it just stinks up our lives
No one signs up to become
The loser at the watercooler
Shitting bricks when they’re talking to her
No
The moment’s gone but we’re still here
It flew right by and disappeared
The moment’s gone, that much is clear
Good thing we didn’t hold it too dear

Last call, fuck no
Where do we go next
No chance I’m ready
To go home just yet
Always a tough one
This one, every year
Always a rough one
So help me forget
Wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh
Why look further than tonight, it’s all we need
Wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh
Why look further than tonight, it’s all we’ll ever need
Let’s end up
Where we haven’t been before
This city’s got some nooks and crannies left to explore
Wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh
Why look further than tonight, it’s all we need
Wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh
Why look further than tonight, it’s all we’ll ever need

Should’ve went home after last call
Should’ve just went to bed
Should’ve went home I knew
It wouldn’t help me to forget
This might be the last thing that I need
Lost a day just staring at a wall
This might be the last thing that I need
Lost another day
Should’ve went home after last call
Should’ve just went to bed
Should’ve just called it
Should’ve just layed my messy head to rest
This might be the last thing that I need
Lost a day just staring at a wall
This might be the last thing that I need
Lost another day

Cups & Closets
03:08
|

Can’t be bothered with closets
Keep my clothes on the floor
Sit on my couch very often
Rarely answer the door
Spend a lot of time wondering
If I should change my ways
Dust off my bachelor degree
Add purpose to my days
Sure I will take you home
You’ve been drinking too much
It’s better to leave the car
We can come pick it up tomorrow
I’m passing by anyway
No trouble at all
Can’t be bothered with glass
I drink out of plastic cups
Sitting down’s enough of
A reason not to get up
Spend a lot of time wondering
If I should change my ways
Maybe start my own business
Maybe plan my escape
Sorry, can you drive me home
I’ve been drinking too much
It’s better to leave the car
I’ll just come pick it up tomorrow
It will do me good to
Get some fresh air on the walk
