i'm not making the moves that i should be tonight i don't sleep much alone but i know that i can't sleep by your side stay in my room while the whole city walks by outside you say that you'll come over later but baby it's too late tonight last december move through union station always felt good in a crowd i still remember that satisfaction of the first couple months at umass blending in never felt so easy checking out wasn't meant to last while my headphones play ed sheeran check my phone while i sit in class now everybody got so busy i chalk it up to bad luck who i know in the goddamn city i don't need anybody so why do i feel so broke up i can't choke up now like i been lying down and i just woke up i wish i spoke up sooner i wish you knew who your were when we first met i need to learn to expect constant drifting constellations shifted now i need to figure out how to make a little money in this town kids outside my window keep on screaming need to settle down they're just playing, keep on waiting keep walking around i don't know what i expected when i came here i know that everything can change inside of a year and i don't know what i'm waiting for this time i still know the way to your house and i swear that i'm still good to drive

Camel Crush 02:33
my hometown is a heartache all the skies are gray i'm tripping down the steps every time that i come this way i spend a night filling my old space where i wasted saturdays and fell into your embrace by the time it was over i'd sobered up singing summer songs till october and then give them up when i bury the hatchet you dig it up little white lies we were giving all our time to i've got two flavors like camel crush right now i want to give up you still stammer when speaking rushed i'm chasing a different buzz i get so tired of reliving lives from the back of the bus smuggling some new rush into the city in my backpack i've got two flavors like camel crush right now i want to give up you're speaking in tongues when you speak at all i think we should sleep it off i think we should sleep on it i think we should call it off you're calling me everyday you're canceling all my plans i'm scared that you see my hand i'm scared that you figured out this city takes all my time stuck between commitments now and everything falling down foundations are washing out found something i wanted i thought that i wanted you i wanted it easy you're taking it way too slow slow dance with the ending slow dance with forever

Late 2 Work 02:49
i'm living like I'm on vacation barely making money but we're having so much fun i took my laundry to the super wash already so a beer for breakfast couldn't do me any harm, i'm sure that you notice when / i get distant yeah because we hangout every night but that only to / be expected with my solipsistic state of mind just wait for a little bit stay for a little while longer / I'm sure you can leave late for work again please lets go back to bed at least for half an hours i can't compete with the other boys you might meet while you're serving coffee somewhere off in bushwick probably they've got extra money tip you too much cause they think your cute and kinda funny fuck them all I hope you love me i was cooler when i was a teenager driving to florida in my honda just because sleeping on couches play the guitar for strangers gas station coffee and breakfast from at the run do i play it too safe now / it’s all changed around i’m keep weird hours and you start work at 8 i / wake up too late i can’t make you eggs before you’re gone

Static 02:31
i was lost you first said my name static on the line sounds like your at a party i could hear your voice saying something had changed yeah something slipped inside and now you needed to call me but i know its just the drugs, youre just fucked up yeah this aint love Why do i bother? picking up got a guilty conscience i cant calm or comprehend i try and let you down real gentle but you just wanna fuck and try it again maybe if i was more drunk or more sentimental id say baby send the address 10 minutes later i'd be texting from the backseat Of some uber doing 60 on the bqe you said you came here with somebody even after the bacardi you were still tasting the molly and the memory of me all i wish is when i find you in the kitchen that you'd pull me to the corner but you're focused on the counter top and now i cant stop thinking about you
