i am lost in my head
it has been like this for awhile now
day to day through it all
i find myself moving all the same
all is lost in time (he knows)
i'm losing my head and i dont know what to do
all is lost to greed (he knows)
its been a problem ever since i looked at you
all is lost in us (i know)
now, what should i do?
well, uh, you could always try again
but this time a little differently
i am lost in your curls
god knows why i fell again
why am i the only one talking?
on my floor i feel the world turn
all is lost in time (he knows)
i'm losing my head and i dont know what to do
all is lost to greed (he knows)
its been a problem ever since i looked at you
all is lost in us (i know)
now, what should i do?
i lost your heart then i lost my way
the breeze caught your bookmark and fluttered away
now where do i go from here?
how did i catch your sail?
was it from the east or could you tell?
my cardinal directions were never there
i'm losing my head
and i dont know what to do
its been a problem
ever since i looked at you

childish dreams
04:37
|

|
spent five years assuring my future
and now i'm spending every second doubting it
staring at screens emitting blue light
and now i'm missing all of my childish dreams
where did that smelly boy go
with his yearbook's garbage man aspirations
all my life i've worried about the future
and now i wish i had spent more time being present
how did all that time go by
i blinked and twenty seven years just passed by
where did that anxious boy go
with his stuttered unsaid words
let all my anxieties wash over my body
let all my regrets flood my head
let all thoughts pass through
and i'll see it through

but the past
03:26
|

|
i'm trying to keep my present self
but the past keeps dragging me back
whos i could've been
whats i should've done
well, uh, lets not talk about that anymore
i've come into my own being
through a thousand mistakes
and i'm looking to make more
cause who would've i been without them
surely a person i wouldn't like
in the backseat of my heart
i tried to be someone you couldn't see
all the things i couldn't do
don't define who i can or will be
i've come into my own being
through the help of a crow
and the mystery of a cat
cause where would've i been without them
truly, a place i don't know
in the backseat of my heart
i've made a lot of mistakes
all the things i couldn't do
don't define who i can or will be
i'm trying to keep my present self
but the future doesn't let up
whos i could be
whats i should do
well, uh, lets not talk about that anymore

there is a place
03:06

there is a place i saw due time
where everything made sense
now that i'm older
i'm just a dumb kid
i'm so tired of myself
i'm so tired, i'm so tired
i'm so tired of myself
there is a place i know and love
tom waits on a rainy night
curled up in fur
she meows at me
i'm so tired of on my own
i'm so tired, i'm so tired
i'm so tired of on my own
i need someone to be there
run their hand through my fibers
even when the sun keeps going down
run my hand along their shape
maybe i just need some inner peace
while the world burns around us
i'll keep trying with what i got
i'll keep trying, i'll keep trying
i'll keep trying with what i got

strawberry rhubarb

all is lost in time
all is lost to them
he got lost in his head
time moves on
and so will he
i know i'm not there all the time
my vacant mind fades in and out
to the tick of the minute hand
where time passes me by
and leaves the rot
and leaves the rot
life is made by small moments
with all else forgotten
altocumuli overhung our held hands
a silent walk to where you slept
i lost my way back
i know you weren't there all the time
our tides came in and out
we sure got our ankles wet
on the beach we both knew
we painted the sky
we painted the sky
life is made by small moments
with all else forgotten
cold feet and lake water ramen
marvin's got nothing on me
i will think of you
whenever my toes turn numb
was it the right thing to do?
as i'm missing a laugh i can't hear
as i'm missing a sight i can't see
a strawberry rhubarb pie we forgot to eat
i miss your care in the night
and your thoughts during the day
there's something more here
i wish you could stay
i miss you with all my fucking being
i miss you with all my heart
i miss you with all my fucking being
i miss you with all my heart
i love you with all my fucking being
i love you with all my heart
