i feel trapped i want to move away
i want to buy a gun i tried to meditate
i think i dozed off i can't remember
feeling so close to exploding since i was 17
used to let off steam
in parked cars in parking lots
then talked a big game about getting better
when i start feeling down i try and picture
five years in the future or a garden
or an apartment with parquet floors
and it's just me and tori
waking up every morning
when i think about 18
the last time i tried to dry myself out
it gets so quiet in my head
i have to fill it with the television
i've got some stuff going on with my family right now
that i don't want to talk about
but it makes me think twice
when we fight and i can't see the bottom
i should know better
than to write someone else's tragedy
into my own life
but i can't retrace my steps
i'm waking up half-remembering
i'm good at second chances
how else could i live with myself
some things you have to get right the first time
nothing all that bad's ever happened to me
but i can feel it coming when close my eyes
i'm good at finding answers
cause i learned life is mostly guesswork
some things you have to get right the first try
nothing all that bad's ever happened to me
but my luck's bound to run out sometime

i need a do over
spend summer on catalpa
i drank a fosters
on my way home
i built a wall between
me and the world
i’m not bitter
this is just making me depressed
last night i saw myself from the outside
i’d didn’t feel right eyeing myself as a stranger i looked barely alive
i watched for a while until the band started playing then he tipped back his drink and went inside
these days it feels like we’re only here to pass the time
i can count on 5 fingers
my friends who have left the city
maybe that’s growing up
or just growing old
it’s not enough of a change
to feel so untethered
what the hell does that say
about who i have been before
i tried to settle down i guess the timing wasn’t right
i’m a machine for losing money and im working on my mind
last night i saw myself from the outside
i’d didn’t feel right eyeing myself as a stranger i looked barely alive
i watched for a while until the band started playing then he tipped back his drink and went inside
these days it feels like we’re only here to pass the time
