I'll take my queue from Plano, Texas
Relate it to a boy confused and lonely
The real world outside my bedroom window
Can't get in here I've pulled the blinds closed
I don't feel like me...
Distract me til I fall asleep again, I get upset overthinking when I can't make my own mind up
I'll never make my own mind up
I hoped by this stage that I'd know better & wouldn't think about my past this much (or my future!)
There's no check-list to being happy, no instant karma that you can touch
I don't feel like me...

None of my friends are in bands anymore
One of them's dead and one's got divorced
& it's really scaring me, everything's scaring me
I'm nearly 23 and not where I'm supposed to be
I don't go out that much anymore, I stay in my room and play the guitar & look at empty picture frames, my mum thinks it's a shame
I took your picture out and I can't even say your name
Don't make me drive home and save my despair
It's 3 in the morning this is not getting better
Remember walking to your front door
It eats me up
Kids my age are killing themselves
Higher rates of depression and failing mental health
This is not meant to be, don't bring this back to me
I'm not qualified to make grueling social commentary...

Should Have Kissed Her

There was a time when I'd thought about thinking
More than I ever thought about you
you got me when I was lost and I'm still lost
I just hope you can stay in my dreams
love, can you tear us apart again?
Til I don't know where I've been
Can you tear me apart again?
Every fight that I win's against time
The kid you loved's on the rocks, in decline
maybe you should have kissed her that night
underneath the silent earth and your fright

Probably Dreaming

I dreamt last night that we were in a caravan and the whole world was on fire
(but you were holding my hand, so honestly it didn't seem that bad!)
Spent all night analyzing what it meant, where you are now and what you'd do if I said
(That you were holding my hand and honestly it didn't seem that bad!)
Take off you clothes and sing with me, the world is ending but we got it for free
We'll never know just what it meant, or where you are but I will never forget
You & me & our friend Scott, probably dreaming, but possibly not
I realise now that I have always loved you, I always have but now I'll never have too
(but you were holding my hand, so honestly it didn't seem that bad!)
This dream it ended quite abruptly, you laughing and me saying sorry
For ruining most of your life, in my day dreams you are my American Wife
Take off you clothes and sing with me, the world is ending but we got it for free
We'll never know just what it meant, or where you are but I will never forget
You & me & our friend Scott, probably dreaming, but possibly not...

I thought I saw your smile but I saw your frown.
And I hate to be the one to always bring ya down.
But I came to see what belongs of me in this empty place, your bedroom.
Four years older now and it's still the same
Not a trace of you and just myself to blame
But she moved away, my static dream replayed
Until I just forget, or you come back
I'm in love with you.
I know i mean it too
It's only the beginning of a song I keep on singing.
You're in love with me
You see but honestly
It was only the beginning
Of a lie you kept on spinning
That feeling again's locked inside her chest
Where she used to love, but now she's just depressed
Says she can't go on, trips over words from songs
That weren't meant for her, but they are now
Where the fuck were you when I fell apart?
Only care about yourself not my beating heart
Hide behind your words, your poetic verse
Burn my letters, you don't deserve them

Freudian Slip pt.3

Nothing is real anymore & now I think, it never really was before her
This universe rarely shifts, but when it does it forms a Freudian Slip.
In my mind you may find a Northern song in the shape of you

She wore our dad's jacket when she wanted to touch the stars.
She'd stand on her tiptoes and swear to me that it's not that far.
I remember the constellations.
I remember everything.
I remember the cadence of your mouth quivering
It was 40 degrees in Northwest Texas and we were shivering.
I always admired how your smile on Sunday nights
didn't disappear into the morning;
you're beautiful and dignified.
I look up to your compassion,
I don't think I ever told you that.
Maybe when I get home we can argue again about the thermostat.
I'll support you all across the world if you promise to give me a map.
There's thousands of miles out there,
yet we grew up just inches apart.
I'm smiling while I write this,
I hope you're smiling wherever you are,
because you deserve it, because you're worth it.
you are.

She said that maybe we were born in the wrong time
I said "yes, you're probably right"
I asked why she always settled for silver
She just shrugged, you're better than that
She's every shimmer that I saw from the windows
She's every second that could never speed up
She's the first party that I've ever been too
The swinging chair in the patio, one joint was never enough
My reflection won't look away
She's the only one wants to stay
You're still holding my hand or maybe you're not
If you taught me anything it was something I forgot
