Not Today

I’m feeling sad from days long gone
Like we did something wrong to make them move along
And in my head my memories they play on endlessly like movies
And it feels like it did seven years ago or yesterday
Can’t tell the difference and I can’t make out the shapes
This is insane and I’m still searching for what matters
And I’m not sure if I’ll find it but I hope I do someday
There was a time when I wouldn’t admit my mistakes
But not today
Today I’m easy
And it’s good you got me
Right where you want me
Was there a time when life was ever easy?
Or maybe that was just a story that they told to appease me
But lesson learning comes a little harder to me than to most
And if you need the proof
I’ll point you to the time I swear I saw a ghost
That was the past and I’m pretty sure this is now - now!
And holy cow let’s go, let’s make the most of
Every day we have to learn a better way to be
And that the past mistakes we’ve made
They don’t define us completely
Those were the days when I’d rather be running away
I’m not sure I know anything like I thought I knew before
I thought I understood myself and I always wanted more
But not today
Today I’m easy
And it’s good you got me
Right where you want me
And that's okay
Today I’m easy
And it’s good you got me
Right where you want me
Let’s go!!

This Is What You Told Me
02:18
|
|||
|
I’ve been through a lot
But not a lot of this one thing
Chance took me by surprise but surprise!
Somehow I came out like a diamond ring
And this is what you told me!!
Don’t fear a little failure
Grind through all the helter-skelter
Get up everyday and feel grateful
Then tomorrow do it even better
As the days untie the hours fly
Feels like life is flying by
It’s a brave new world only a mother could love
This is what you told me of!!
Don’t fear a little failure
Grind through all the helter-skelter
Get up everyday and feel grateful
Then tomorrow do it even better
Even better
Some chances that we take
Don’t work out like we planned them
But looking back I see
Life always seemed so random
We hold the common thread
You’ve seen it with your own eyes
I heard the words you said
Why does the balance seem so hard to find?
Don’t fear a little failure
Grind through all the helter-skelter
Get up everyday and feel grateful
Then tomorrow do it even better
Cause you shine you shine
You shine under pressure

What I Tell Myself
02:24
|
|||
|
I tell myself
To keep my head from reeling
Don’t trust myself
I can’t ignore my feelings
I try to sit down
I try to relax
I try to take time
I can’t take things back
Trying not to panic all my life
Just can’t convince myself
Or anyone else not to give up
Don’t care what else
They say cause I’m not falling
Don’t pick up
Social collapse keeps calling
So carve your own path
Curve it right towards the light
Like a runaway train
On it’s last run tonight
Trying not to panic all my life
Just can’t convince myself
Or anyone else not to give up
Cause there were times when I was too mad to apologize for my mistakes
And I just couldn’t understand the amount of pressure that it takes
Still trying not to panic all my life
Just can’t convince myself or anyone else
We can talk until the dark turns into light
Just can’t predict what’s next
But we still gotta try not to give up
Yeah

Cautious Optimistic
02:45
|
|||
|
Let me tell you something about me now
I’m very wary when I go out
I look both ways six times before I cross the street
I need a meeting just to put shoes on my feet
And I assume the best but always planning for the very worst
I like my numbers odd, my Venmo balance even
And my bad luck reversed
I’m a cautious optimistic
Not convinced, just realistic
A cautious optimistic
Hope for the best
Don’t wanna risk it
Don’t wanna risk it
Cautious optimistic
Don’t wanna risk it
I always chew my food before I eat it
I need a memo for a memo just to read it
I wash my hands and then I rinse repeat it
I brush my teeth each night so I don’t get cavities
And I always bring a jacket just in case I freeze
I’m a cautious optimistic
Not convinced, just realistic
A cautious optimistic
Hope for the best
Don’t wanna risk it
Don’t wanna risk it
I always use my hands to make the symbol for a sunny day
Too scared to step out on the ice
I’ll save it for somebody brave
I accept most things are out of my control
The only way through
Is keeping it true
I’m a cautious optimistic
Not convinced, just realistic
A cautious optimistic
Hope for the best
Don’t wanna risk it
Don’t wanna risk it
Don’t wanna risk it
Cautious optimistic
Don’t wanna risk it

Excuse My French
02:29

Excuse my French but s’il vous plaît
I need to know that come what may
You’ll be by side day after day
Excuse my French but please
Excuse my French but s’il vous plaît
J’ai besoin de savoir la vérité (I need to know the truth)
For or against the possibility
Of spending your whole life with me
Please take me with a little je ne sais quoi salt
Cause half the time I don’t know what I just said
But I don’t beat myself up, I’ll be perfect when I’m dead
Feels like I never see you
Not even on weekends
Sometimes we all need a rescue
Consider me your ambulance
Excuse my French but s’il vous plaît
I need to know that come what may
You’ll be by side day after day
Excuse my French but please
Excuse my French but s’il vous plaît
J’ai besoin de savoir la vérité (I need to know the truth)
For or against the possibility
Of spending your whole life with me
I had the words I knew that I should say
But now that you’re here they’re suddenly all gone
I’ve lost most of my brains and all matter of grey
Feels like I never see you
Not even on weekends
Sometimes we all need a rescue
Consider me your ambulance
Feels like I never see you
Not even on weekends
Sometimes we all need a rescue
Consider me your ambulance

Stay Up All Night
02:58
|
|||
|
As the lights go down around us
Dancing in the pitch black night
Still looking for answers
Never believed they were out of sight
Feels like I can’t get away
From all my of mistakes
From here right now to eternity
And if I hurt you know that I’ll try to make it right
I won’t desert you, I’ll stay up with you all night
I’ll stay up all night
I’ll stay up all night
Let’s stay up all night
Where does your mind go
When you hear “I don’t know”
Ten thousand times
From your backseat driving mind?
All the way back to the other side
Of dark memories that have gone deep to hide
And when the monsters come back to life
We’ll drag them out into the light
Out into the light
And if I hurt you know that I’ll try to make it right
I won’t desert you, I’ll stay up with you all night
And if I hurt you know that I’ll try to make it right
I won’t desert you, I’ll stay up with you all night
I’ll stay up all night
I’ll stay up all night
Let’s stay up all night

Ready To Rage
02:45
|
|||
|
Standing on a platform
Waiting for a train
Feels like the time is moving further away
If patience is a virtue
Then surely so is pain
And all the hell that we’re made to pay
So run for your lives
Or swallow the pill
There’s no turning back
No this isn’t a drill
It’s the fight of our lives
Our coming of age
Now it’s getting harder
To stay this engaged
Now I’m ready to rage!
We tend to skirt the issues
Ignore the hardest parts
The ignorance is way off the charts
But you can’t throw a wolf to the wolves cause they’ll just laugh
They’ll smile as they tear you in half
So run for your lives
Or swallow the pill
There’s no turning back
No this isn’t a drill
It’s the fight of our lives
Our coming of age
Now it’s getting harder
To stay this engaged
I’m ready to rage!
So run for your lives
Or swallow the pill
There’s no turning back
No this isn’t a drill
It’s the fight of our lives
Our coming of age
Now it’s getting harder
To stay this engaged
Are you feeling lost
with so much to gain?
We have to be smarter
Learn when to refrain
When you take the plunge
No matter your doubt
Isn’t that what this whole life is about?
Let’s figure it out

Undone
02:37
|

I close my eyes
I see you with your bright smile in slow motion as you laugh
Your eyes are shining like the sun
I take a picture of this moment in my mind
So i can see you all the time
You’ve got my head all spun
That’s when I come undone
That’s when I can’t hold it in
That’s what you do to me
That’s what I failed to see
By my own admission
That’s when I come undone
When the morning dove burst on your window
and its lover took its body to its final resting place
That’s when you turned towards me
and you told me that you loved me
As if you had always known we’d be at peace
That’s when I come undone
That’s when I can’t hold it in
That’s what you do to me
That’s what I failed to see
By my own admission
That’s when I come undone
Let’s sail the oceans far and wide to brighter shores
As if you said it in a thousand lives before
Tears keep streaming down my cheeks
I haven’t left the house in weeks
As if we’ve lived a thousand lives before
That’s when I come undone
That’s when I can’t hold it in
That’s what you do to me
That’s what I failed to see
By my own admission
That’s when I come undone
I close my eyes
I see you with your bright smile in slow motion

Call Me
02:31
|

Lookin back through my diary
I wasn’t quite sure who I was trying to be
The best parts were stories of you
The best years I’ve had were with you
I don’t always know what I’m supposed to say
But I know what to do, I do it every day
And some things never change
Some things never change
I haven’t talked to you in three days
And you know that I’ll be up late
So go ahead and feel free
Feel free to call me
I know I’ve made some pretty big mistakes
Holding on and hoping you don’t break my legs
So go ahead and feel free
Feel free to call me
Before you sleep tonight
With you and me there’s always possibilities
A hundred thousand dreams of what could be’s
The late nights that we used to do
Now I try to get home by two
I don’t always know what I’m supposed to say
But I know what to do, I do it everyday
And some things never change
Some things never change
I haven’t talked to you in three days
And you know that I’ll be up late
Go ahead and feel free
Feel free to call me
I know I’ve made some pretty big mistakes
Holding on and hoping you don’t break my legs
Go head and feel free
Feel free to call me
Before you sleep tonight
The moon so full it’s bursting - Tonight
It could light up the darkest drive - Tonight
When you find yourself thinking of me - Tonight
I just need to know you’re alive
I haven’t talked to you in three days
And you know that I’ll be up late
So go ahead and feel free
Feel free to call me
I know I’ve made some pretty big mistakes
Holding on and hoping you don’t break my legs
Go ahead and feel free
Feel free to call me
Before you sleep tonight

Mountains To Climb
02:42
|

There's nothing else to do but try
To make the time so fun it flies
So that’s what I came here to do
I may have failed but I tried to
Come up with a nice surprise
To bring some light back to your eyes
And brighten up these pre-apocalyptic skies
When it gets bumpy you hold on
The ups and downs have made you strong
When you see mountains you climb
When you see lightning you ride
When you see water you dive right in
That’s how you know you’re alive again!
You’ve got mountains to climb
This year has been such a blur
So don’t look back to where you were
Look ahead to where you’re heading
Switching gears and getting ready
No one can really promise you
That they won’t end up hurting you
Even if they never wanted to
When it gets bumpy you hold on
The ups and downs have made you strong
You’ve always had to fight it’s true
There’s those that talk and then there’s you!
When you see mountains you climb
When you see lightning you ride
When you see water you dive right in
That’s how you know you’re alive again!
You’ve got mountains to climb

When We Broke Through
02:52
|
|||
|
Change my mind help me find
A way to explain the pain
Starts somewhere in my heart
Goes up through my throat
Then ends up inside my brain
Where it festers inside
Makes me want to try
A little harder to turn the tide
Against the odds we made it work
Through the struggles and the pain
This life, it ain’t so bad
When you pull it from the frame
I need you like a junky needs a needle for a vein
And now I’m fighting all these feelings
l was headed down the drain
When we broke through into undiscovered country
We both knew that this would change us completely
And it’s true I feel it down so deeply
When we broke through
We broke the life we knew
When we broke through
(What if we) - What if we never met?
There’d be a lot less regret
And so much less to forget
That’s what if we never met
But then we wouldn’t have her
And then we wouldn't have him
Or all those sweet memories
Like Vegas out on a limb
Against the odds we made it work
Through the struggles and the pain
This life, it ain’t so bad
When you pull it from the frame
I need you like a junky needs a needle for a vein
And now I’m fighting all these feelings
l was headed down the drain
When we broke through into undiscovered country
We both knew that this would change us completely
And it’s true I feel it down so deeply
When we broke through
We broke the life we knew
When we broke through
We took a chance on something new when we broke through

Mistakes Will Be Made
03:28
|
|||
|
Sometimes I wish I
Could hit the rewind
On some things that I’ve
Done in my lifetime
But that’s not how it works
There’s no going back
Let’s fix all we can
And live well, that’s the plan
I remember I would chase you around the room
And then you’d turn it all around and chase me too
And when I think of staring back into your eyes
Those are the moments
Those are the good times
We choose to be who we are in some ways
In some ways we don’t
In some ways we have a little too much
And some never won’t
But that’s not the point that I’ve been trying to make
All I’ve been saying is this won’t be my last mistake
Cause there will be days
In so many ways
When your head’s hanging low
When you lost all control
I know you need to be free
To let your heart open wide
It’s been a long winding road
And you’ve been right here the whole time
Just know mistakes will be made
And now I hear the sirens going down the street
But these days it doesn’t bother me
As long as we got internet and food to eat
We’ll shut out the world and live rent free
We choose to be who we are in some ways
In some ways we don’t
In some ways we have a little too much
And some never won’t
But that’s not the point that I’ve been trying to make
All I’ve been saying is this won’t be my last mistake
There will be days
When your world is ablaze
When your head’s hanging low
When you lost all control
I think you need to let go
I know I need to let go
So much was meant to be different
But now we gotta think different
Just know mistakes will be made
Although mistakes will be made
I’m out of takes for today
I’ve lost our game of charades
Just know mistakes will be made
