Ship//Ocean
04:25

I wish that I could see
the person that everyone tells me they see
so my reflection
doesn’t feel like a stranger to me
And when I open my mouth
I hear my voice but I can’t seem to quite figure out
if I’ve been telling the truth
or anything I mean
But I will open my eyes
I’ll see the world brand new
I’ve got a long way to go, but I’ve got something to prove
to nobody but myself
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’ve got a lot to say
I’m not the ship, I am the ocean
Let it carry me away
I think it’s about time
learn to live in my body and get out of my mind
And maybe this time
I’ll get it right
I learned I can’t erase
I am the person I am because of choices I’ve made
I am the result of my victories
and my mistakes
But I will open my eyes
I’ll see the world brand new
I’ve got a long way to go, but I’ve got something to prove
to nobody but myself
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’ve got a lot to say
I’m not the ship, I am the ocean
Let it carry me away
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’ve got a lot to say
I’m not the ship, I am the ocean
Let it carry me away

My Way Out
03:09
|
|||
Well, I’ve had some time to think
and I think I’ve got some questions
Is anybody listening?
Does anyone care about my intentions
Because I’ve had too many nights
walking down this dim lit road
asking who would care if I’m gone
and why am I scared to die alone
I’m counting every good thing come my way
I’m learning that it’s make or break
I can’t stay young forever
so I’m gonna make this count
If tomorrow’s what comes after
then today’s what matters now
So I’ll use my hands to build
and I’ll play my music loud
and I’ll use my eyes to keep on searching
I’ll find my own way out
Well I’ve got a lot of patience
but I could use a bit of luck
to turn this ceiling to a floor
and keep my head above
The water that’s been rising
in the corners of my mind
if I’ve got the choice to sink or swim
I sure as hell know mine
I’m counting every good thing come my way
I’m learning that it’s make or break
I can’t stay young forever
so I’m gonna make this count
If tomorrow’s what comes after
then today’s what matters now
So I’ll use my hands to build
and I’ll play my music loud
and I’ll use my eyes to keep on searching
I’ll find my own way out
I swear that it’s worth it
All you need is some courage
And a little bit of hope to push you through
I can’t stay young forever
so I’m gonna make this count
If tomorrow’s what comes after
then today’s what matters now
So I’ll use my hands to build
and I’ll play my music loud
and I’ll use my eyes to keep on searching
I’ll find my own way out

Radio
03:50
|

You fell asleep on the ride back to San Francisco
I played our songs so you could hear them in your dreams
You didn’t wake even after I started singing
I told you stories of our songs and what they mean
And you told me that everything’s fine
and you told me everything
And you told me that everything’s fine
and you told me everything
Now I just sing along to the radio
Because one of us won’t say a god damn thing
And we both know just how this chorus goes
But I will never, no, I won’t hear you sing
I spent the last five years trying to explain
that everything I did was just to make you smile
You’ve turned your head away and now my words can’t reach you
I hope this melody haunts your life
And you told me that everything’s fine
and you told me everything
And you told me that everything’s fine
Can you tell me everything?
Now I just sing along to the radio
Because one of us won’t say a god damn thing
And we both know just how this chorus goes
But I will never, no, I won’t hear you sing
Now all those songs we used to hear
Are only reminders of a year
Where you chose not to say a word
Now it’s your turn to listen
Now I’ve got no regrets (These songs all sound the same)
I gave you all I had to give (They all remind me of your name)
One last thing to say (And how quickly you changed)
I will never sing to you again
Now I just sing along to the radio
Because one of us won’t say a god damn thing
And we both know just how this chorus goes
But I will never, no, I won’t hear you sing

So listen
I know these words they fall apart
But now they glisten
This broken glass, it looks like stars
And when they fall onto the ground
They do not make a sound
And you don’t
You don’t think I see the signs all around you
You think I’m blind but these are all just things I’ve been through
So let the ocean change its course
And let it swallow my remorse
And I don’t, I don’t quite know, how to let go
And you don’t, oh no you don’t
Everyday we’re getting closer and closer
To getting these bridges set on fire
I don’t know how you don’t see, you make it so easy
I hear the same things over and over
I’m not gonna be a liar, liar
There is no mystery, it’s just you haunting me
Maybe
If you think this is just a game that we’re playing
Well, I swear I’m not the same person that you knew
And I’ll say the same for you
So baby
If you think never is a promise, I’ll hold you to it
I’ll see you standing from the side to say you knew it
But if there’s one thing about change
Is that it always stays the same
And I don’t, I don’t quite know, how to let go
And you don’t, oh no you don’t
Everyday we’re getting closer and closer
To getting these bridges set on fire
I don’t know how you don’t see, you make it so easy
I hear the same things over and over
I’m not gonna be a liar, liar
There is no mystery, it’s just you haunting me
And I don’t, I don’t quite know, how to let go
And you don’t, oh no you don’t
Everyday we’re getting closer and closer
To getting these bridges set on fire
I don’t know how you don’t see, you make it so easy
I hear the same things over and over
I’m not gonna be a liar, liar
There is no mystery, it’s just you haunting me

Better Off Alone
03:32
|
|||
I never wanted to write a sad song
At least, not with you mind
You sent a box full of all our pictures
And everything you left behind
Never enough
And you made it so tough
Now I’m looking back at all that’s left
I never thought that we would ever let go
There was lightning in my eyes for you but now they don’t glow
You were the only thing that ever really felt like home
I guess I’m better off, I guess I’m better off alone
I think about the person I was
At least, who I was back then
I lost myself and the life we built
But the worst was losing my best friend
Never enough
And you made it so tough
Now I’m looking back at all that’s left
I never thought that we would ever let go
There was lightning in my eyes for you but now they don’t glow
You were the only thing that ever really felt like home
I guess I’m better off, I guess I’m better off
I’m so glad it’s in your rear view mirror
Everything you see is so much clearer
I’m still in the darkest places that I’ve had to sleep
Alone without you next to me

Invincible
03:50
|
|||
It happened again
I let my worst get the best of me
And I don’t know what to do about
Things I convince myself of
A victim of my insecurities
And I’ve made a fool of everyone who thought I’d be okay
And time and time again, I’m a cliche in that same way
I might not be as invincible
As I let myself believe
But I’m fighting everyday for a miracle
Becoming who I’m supposed to be
I lost myself
Now the words they’ve escaped me
Facing all the questions like
How can you possibly live
If you only exist?
And I’ve made a fool of everyone who thought I’d be okay
And time and time again, I’m a cliche in that same way
I might not be as invincible
As I let myself believe
But I’m fighting everyday for a miracle
Becoming who I’m supposed to be
Owning up to imperfections
I’m leaving my confessions on the floor
I’m tearing out the pages
Of a book that I don’t read anymore
Because it’s getting harder everyday
To keep a smile on my face
I just want to get better
I might not be as invincible
As I let myself believe
But I’m fighting everyday for a miracle
Becoming who I’m supposed to be

Twenty Five
03:04
|

Twenty three was a bust
But twenty four was a door
To all the nights I ran away from
Because I’ve been stuck here this whole time
Looking for some kind of sign
To tell me this is where I belong
But not this time
This time I’ll stand up
This time I’ll stand
When you look me in the eyes
All I want you to see is the fire in me
I’m ready for the worst
And I’m not letting go
It’s my turn to define
The way I choose to live my life
I will stand and I will fight
I will
Everything thing I loved has changed
People come and go
Sometimes I can’t recognize my face
And if this is how I go
Headfirst into Twenty Five
I’ll have my fingers crossed
That I’ll make it out alive
But not this time
This time I’ll stand up
This time I’ll stand
When you look me in the eyes
All I want you to see is the fire in me
I’m ready for the worst
And I’m not letting go
It’s my turn to define
The way I choose to live my life
I will stand and I will fight
I will
When you look me in the eyes
All I want you to see is the fire in me
I’m ready for the worst
And I’m not letting go
It’s my turn to define
The way I choose to live my life
I will stand and I will fight
I will
WHOO!

I filled the drywall with my fists
I’ve lined my books with every list
Of all the things I regret
Made friends with all the lonely nights
Cried myself to sleep a couple times
Of all these things, I won’t forget
That my light is burning bright
I won’t go down without a fight
I don’t need anyone to see
The person standing here is me
Get back and watch me roar
Like a lion, like a lion
I fall down but I get back up
You can’t tell me enough’s enough
Get back and watch me roar
Like a lion, like a lion
Some days you feel like giving up
And the burden feels like way too much
I won’t lie, I’ve cut it close
I found the strength in me to stand
I’ll always do the best I can
I won’t forget what matters most
I don’t need anyone to see
The person standing here is me
Get back and watch me roar
Like a lion, like a lion
I fall down but I get back up
You can’t tell me enough’s enough
Get back and watch me roar
Like a lion, like a lion
I don’t need anyone to see
The person standing here is me
Get back and watch me roar
Like a lion, like a lion
I fall down but I get back up
You can’t tell me enough’s enough
Get back and watch me roar
Like a lion, like a lion

On Your Side
02:52
|

Don’t fall asleep
In the morning we’ll forget
Holding hands in this bed
Hold on to me
I’ll tell the sun to go away
If you promise that you’ll stay
In the morning, we’ll be different
In the morning, everything we know will change
Dry your eyes, I’ll keep you mine
I’m on your side
I’ll be your hope, you are my home
I’m on your side
In the morning, we’ll be different
In the morning, everything we know will change
Dry your eyes, I’ll keep you mine
I’m on your side

Open Door
04:32
|

Sometimes I wish I could go back
So I could fix all my mistakes
And start over again
Choices that I could have made
I play them over in my head
Wish I knew all the words to say
With perfect diction
Say everything I mean
Be more honest with myself
So I could start again clean
But I won’t run away anymore
I’ll take my chances on an open door
I finally found what I’m fighting for
This is my spark, the light I walk towards
I won’t stand for being shackled
I can’t live being something I’m not
I only wanna find myself
Because i’m the only me I’ve got
I’m living through the struggle
Becoming everything that I want
In the end, I’m gonna find myself
Because I’m the only me I’ve got
Wish I knew how hard it was to love someone
Before you love yourself
Or how you can forget the ones that love you
When you get caught up in someone else
I wish goodbyes they weren’t so painful
But in them i’ve learned to grow
Into the person that I want
But I’ve got so far to go
But I won’t run away anymore
I’ll take my chances on an open door
I finally found what I’m fighting for
This is my spark, the light I walk towards
I won’t stand for being shackled
I can’t live being something I’m not
I only wanna find myself
Because i’m the only me I’ve got
I’m living through the struggle
Becoming everything that I want
In the end, I’m gonna find myself
Because I’m the only me I’ve got
I’m as lonely as I tell myself
I’m as scared as I’m convinced
I might not have all the answers
But I’m as ready as I’ve ever been
I’m as lonely as I tell myself
I’m as scared as I’m convinced
I might not have all the answers
But I’m ready
But I won’t run away anymore
I’ll take my chances on an open door
I finally found what I’m fighting for
This is my spark, the light I walk towards
I won’t stand for being shackled
I can’t live being something I’m not
I only wanna find myself
Because i’m the only me I’ve got
I’m living through the struggle
Becoming everything that I want
In the end, I’m gonna find myself
Because I’m the only me I’ve got

Papillon

I stayed out late
Drove past the bridge
To throw away everything
that you’ve ever left
I don’t need them now
Possessions fade
To walk this path you left me on
I don’t think I need all this weight
Because I feel you in my bones
I threw our book into the ocean
The one that carried all our notes
Because I couldn’t stand to read them
Whenever I felt alone
You keep the ring
I meant what I said
Although I know I’ll never see it
on your left hand again
Because I feel you in my bones
And now there’s nothing left to show
I thought of all the plans
That we let ourselves make
And how we couldn’t keep them
Because we couldn’t stay awake
If you hear me now
I wrote all these lines
I hope I wrote a song you love
And that you sing it all the time
Because I feel you in my bones
And now there’s nothing left to show
But if there’s one thing you should know
I tried to smile
When I locked the door
You said that you would always be mine
But I’ve always loved you more
