You know you want to
You know that you don't need to
Yeah, no you don't need me
Like I really need you
Friend, it'd be a good thing
We're all just trying
To grow, yeah you were me once
It's only right to be helping
Hey I was wondering
If you could give me a ride
All the way to, oh all the way to the top
I'll be grateful, oh I'll be grateful
Self-punishment
For all the burnt bridges
As if things could worsen
You’re hardly a person
Instead, a culmination
Of all you admire
Your head’s missing pages
And all who know you are tired
Hey I was wondering
If you could give me a ride
All the way top, oh all the way to the top
I’ll be grateful, oh I’ll be grateful
Hey I was wondering
If you could give me a ride
All the way to, yeah all the way to the top
Oh, I’ll be grateful, hey, listen here
I don’t know what you are
Are you right are you wrong
You’re a ghost (We tried to play Sufjan) you’re a stranger (But I couldn’t get the chords right)
When you talk down to your friends like that
When you talk down to your friends like that
I thought a lot about you
Driving home from Urbana
I, I didn’t know me
As much as I should have for 19
We, all know the feeling
When something will never be
Again, something that’s over
Again, something that’s over
Again, something that’s over
Hey I was wondering
If you could give me a ride
All the way to, oh all the way to the top
I’ll be grateful, oh I’ll be grateful
Hey I was wondering
If you could give me a ride
All the way to, yeah all the way to the top
I was wondering if you could forgive me

Surer/Steady

Drunk off my ass
I’m in the bathroom sobbing again
With bloodshot eyes
Hours have passed
The party’s long been over now,
It’s half past five and it’s bright outside
It isn’t cool
You’re in your twenties salting your wounds
Out in plain view
You play the fool
A role you’ve held since middle school
Except now you drink,
And it’s all you do, you try to say
I’m surer now, I’m surer now
I’m surer now, I’m steady now
I’m steady now, I’m steady now
I’m steady now, I’m surer
You pen your lines about Chicago day-to-day
You run your mouth without having a thing to say
Romanticize prestigious universities
But you hold yourself as a hostage
Out of harm’s way
You’re in the corner taking it in
He’s got his mouth on again
Outrageous claims
He’s speaking for you, acts like he knows you
Use you as data
Are you gonna fight him tonight
I’m surer now, I’m surer now
I’m surer now, I’m steady now
I’m steady now, I’m steady now
I’m steady now, I’m surer
You pen your lines about Chicago day-to-day
You run your mouth without having a thing to say
Romanticize prestigious universities
But you hold yourself as a hostage
You never sleep, your bed’s in total disarray
You’re up late for anything to celebrate
You get by, you get by but you can’t stop
Holding yourself as a hostage
Drunk off your ass
You’re in the front yard screaming again
At this stranger’s house in this college town
When you look like you’re eighteen but
You’re way too old to be here, yeah you
Act like you’re eighteen and
There’s not much hope for next year, no no
Yeah you look like you’re eighteen
And you talk like you're eighteen
Yeah you act like you're eighteen
But you’re way too old to be here
I’m surer now, I’m surer now
I’m surer now, I’m steady now
I’m steady now, I’m steady now
I’m stable now

Leave It
03:45

I’m vulnerable
You decided to latch
When you’re part of the family
It’s hard to detach
I always feel sick
When I’m driving through your town
You stole a part of me but you still weigh me down
I can’t say it out loud
The whole world’s got its hand on my mouth, it says
It’s over, so leave it, it’s over, so leave it
Everyone that I know
And the people I love
Will never see me at what
Would have been my best
If experiences shape you
I must be a shard of glass
Sharp and incomplete I
Hurt whoever crosses paths
I can’t say it out loud
The whole world’s got its hand on my mouth, it tells me
It’s over, so leave it
I’m just used to it now, everyone likes to keep it in the ground
It’s over, so leave it, it’s over, so leave it
We all know it happened, but it’s done now, so leave it
I’m desensitized, I’m totally fine
We used to be so close, I can’t picture that time
But I still feel sick and I shrink when people yell
I’m staring straight into the void whenever I stand still
I can’t say it out loud
The whole world’s got its hand on my mouth, it tells me
It’s over, so leave it
I’m just used to it now, everyone likes to keep it in the ground
It’s over, so leave it, it’s over, so leave it
We all know it happened, but it’s done now, so leave it
It’s over, so leave it

Non-Transfer

I get in my car outside your apartment
It’s 4 o’clock in the morning
And I’m not tired, I just wish I didn’t
Work the next day
I drove from one moment to another
Stuck in retail for 8 hours then to a coffee shop
In a different town, where I met you for
The first time
And I suck, so I talked about myself too much but you stayed
Long enough to hear something that you liked
I’ve been dying a little less lately
I didn’t think you could resuscitate me
But now my mouth is completely plastered
You said your lipstick was non-transfer
I got so used to being a stepping stone
Accustomed to running on empty
Just a landmark on a freeway that’s amusing for 20 minutes
But now I sit in this noisy food court
On my lunch break, wishing I was still home with you
You’re probably making food
It’s only been an hour or two but you make me wanna fake an injury
Just to come back home and watch some TV
I’ve been dying a little less lately
I didn’t think you could resuscitate me
But now my mouth is completely plastered
You said your lipstick was non-transfer
You be my jacket and I’ll be your sunscreen
I’m only reckless when I know you’ll save me
I think I’d die if I fell any faster
You said your lipstick was non-transfer
(Stay over)
I’m late to class again
Cause there’s no windows in your room
I promise I’ll be back soon
I’ve been dying a little less lately
I didn’t think you could resuscitate me
But now my mouth is completely plastered
You said your lipstick was non-transfer
You be my jacket and I’ll be your sunscreen
I’m only reckless when I know you’ll save me
I think I’d die if I fell any faster
You said your lipstick was non-transfer
