I knew you in the summertime, eden in your eyes Bruising like a fruit that never had the chance to dry Still as sweet as wine Just ordinary times, that passed me right on by Now I can't help but feel so incomplete There's a memory burning gently that's of you and me I can feel it in my chest, scattered pieces of what's left This story read forever Forever I'll be weighed down with regrets Now I can't close my eyes to fall asleep Because I know I'll hear your voice calling for me Like when I knew you in the summertime, June into July Learning all your secrets as you opened up inside Your smile big as life We laughed until we cried, fleeting clouds in the sky Through and through I'm split and splintered, toss and turn awake Through and through I'm haunted by the ghost of you that stays A flower for your troubles and a drink to bring you back To my head, cause in my heart you have a place that you can stay forever at Yeah you can stay forever at They planted flowers for you where you fell Bodies of daffodils and butter cups lifted you up Until you touched the sun A flower for your troubles and a drink to numb The pain, it all fades away It hurts but in the end I'll be okay But I can't close my eyes to fall asleep Because I know I'll hear your voice calling for me It's bittersweet, in my ears just like a song you couldn't sing Forever on repeat Like when I knew you in the summertime

Deadweight Filling up my headspace Crawling into bed late Sinking like a stone Darkroom Thoughts develop too soon Burning into YouTube Or sitting on my phone But I'll sing the weight of my exhaustion To the tune of all the nights I spend alone So I've just been Looking away, cause it's the perfect excuse for you to go Never-mind decent protocol, I notice all the exits as I enter Cause I'm over all the signs from this overbearing mind So many mistakes, I can't get away From all these thoughts that won't stop, hanging on me like Deadweight Filling up my headspace Crawling into bed late Sinking like a stone Darkroom Thoughts develop too soon Burning into YouTube Or sitting on my phone Searching for a place where all the problems fade away That's where I need to go Man I've been down on my luck, Trying to replace the need to prove that I'm enough Cause I can't keep up the pacing I'm back and forth A swinging door A man of many faces The symptom of a strong remorse If these four walls could hear me out Then these four walls would make the perfect crowd If these four walls could hear me out Then these four walls would make the perfect crowd Guess I'll keep wasting my breath

We can blame it on the rain Bags packed I knew I couldn't stay You showed me colors that I never knew about Then showed me how to walk away Anyway Now towards the end of my days, this sits heaviest And maybe I made it this way, but I had to I know you wouldn't believe but if you'd asked me I swear I'd have gave you everything As I watched these grey skies turn to black And maybe if you were the same as when I met you You'd drop your fists and take it all back Now who can say, your skin tone of the day Was it bright and red or pale like the time I said I'd run away To Chicago, in the summer I got my things together knowing that you'd just drag me back under Anyway Now towards the end of my days, this sits heaviest And maybe I made it this way, but I had to Cause I asked for peace Honestly believing that you would concede Losing all the love that I had, to spend I hope that I can find it again I hope that I can find it again Cause I know you wouldn't believe but if you'd asked me I swear I'd have gave you everything As I watched these grey skies turn to black And if I, could rewrite it all, from when I met you, I'd drop this pen and take it all back I'd escape to my old room (Blue skies) See lavender and cherry blooms (On the horizon line) You loved that innocence in me I'd appreciate the golden hue (Blue skies) Of sunlight bouncing off of you as it Sets (On the horizon line) As it sets on you and me As it sets on you and me

You think I woke up like this? Head in the clouds got my mind on the fritz Can't get it together I'm sick of this shit Waiting for something I can't seem to get I can't get a grip on this I'm waiting for something to give I can't get a grip on it Still waiting for something to give I can't get a grip on this I think I'm absent somehow Back to the wall, while I'm waiting it out Deep in my mind, It's so terribly loud Caught up in daydreams and nightly I sing to the part of me I couldn't be I know that I should let go And forfeit the thought of the portion that's bottled that secretly I wanna free Right now I seem firm on my feet But I'm sinking I'm to my knees Deep in my own mistakes, only got misery Stop overthinking Yeah that sounds great Why can't you just wake up? I guess I just love my dreams too much I'm waking up I'm out the door No more slow and steady anymore I'm ready for a change I guess it's coming down to apathy Sinking deep on repeat it seems to always get the best of me. Sometimes a little reciprocity Is all you need to clear the air of animosity All I need is right next to me It's in the air as it calls for me And all I need is right next to me But I tie my shoes, and I brush my teeth, sit down and fall asleep

It's a strange place to be alone When your strange ways come home They'll never know They'll never know That you've been locked inside of thoughts Deep inside your head Staring at the walls again How every whisper of the wind Shaking all the leaves It brings you down again You're lost in a place that has never been named or found You're lost in a place, how I miss having you around Speak softly, something real, to me I'm free falling, snap me out of this dream then you can find me when these long nights end I'll see you then Is it in the breeze, the sudden shift The colder creeping drift, under your skin (It's a strange thing to be at home Where your strange thoughts forever roam) You wanna leave but end up clinging to the covers that you're in (They'll never know They'll never know) Your lost in a place (lost in a place) that has never been named or found Your lost in a place (lost in a place) how I miss having you around So please, Just lie to me Tell me something has changed I saw it all along My better days, my better days They left me all alone Wishing something remained of where my hope sat Missing my friends I want my life back It felt like I just got ahead But when you're looking back it's always like that So I, sit back and watch the world spin away from me Relax and I can wait it out patiently I know you feel the cold in your aching knees And it's the same for me, to some degree (I just need one more sun ray Maybe they'll come back some day One more sunray Somewhere someday) I wanna feel at home I'm stuck in an endless loop, always burning through reasons to go Looking for answers when all I can find is a dial tone Did you call for me before my depression made me doublespeak? Are you listening? If I can just make it through to spring, well then I'll be alright Yeah then I'll be alright And then you'll be alright
