I’ve never smoked in my life but some of my friends get high enough every night to last us all a lifetime we’re in and out of time and maybe its the second hand smoke in these basements alone with each other but we’ll never get over the way that we were for a couple of summers the way that we were before please tell me that this isn’t over this summer’s too young to be waking up sober fuck this I’m not growing up no I’m just growing older so keep your chin up and we’ll keep our heads above water for just a little more time and I’m not gonna lie to you theres something about these summer nights going to bed with the morning dew I'm in love with all of my friends and i if you feel like you’re missing out come join us its getting real good right now join the chorus chorus: the heat of these bright summer days burns warm in our hearts on these summer nights there are all kinds of love in the world but never the same love twice i hope i never die like Churchill i hope I’m never bored of it all and i hope that when i can’t walk anymore ill crawl and i hope that the way we’ve been living these days won’t stay the same for the rest of my life and i hope that one day I’ll look at myself and finally take my own god damn advice if you’re drowning I’ll pull you up onto my ship lately my anchor's been weighing me down but I’m starting to give it the slip just know that I’m sorry for everything the good and the bad keep me up at night im yelling out, someone help make this alright please make this alright they say we all dig our own graves if thats true I’ll make mine unmarked shallow and out of the way out of sight out of mind cause they say that the good die young so i expect we're gonna live forever got this pain in my chest that demands to be felt its a hole in my heart, its a notch on my belt its the way that the sky falls its the reason we all fall its our past, its our future its our scars, and its our sutures its our open wounds, broken bones bleeding skin, all i know’s no one gets out of this life alive and no one in their right mind wants to stay behind no one in their right mind wants to stay behind if you had kissed me i would’ve kissed you back and i hope you knew that if you had kissed me i would’ve kissed you back and i guess you knew that [chorus]

Tell me I'm falling apart And I’ll believe you But tell me I need someone And I’ll tell you that you’re wrong But you know that I'm full of shit I’m totally see through “I know what I'm doing” Says the liar in my mouth And this it, this is what we wanted When we set out I'm doing the whole thing right But I still feel wrong I guess we’re gonna have to wait this one out Another year of drought I’ve never been sure If what I'm doing’s right I wish somebody could tell me That I'm doing just fine It’s so hard To believe In what I Can’t see Maybe this year’s just not for me If I could just have a minute to relax I might stop kicking myself in the face But every time I’m alone I crank the sound, turn up the bass until i can’t hear myself think anymore till I don’t know my kitchen sink anymore And that’s ok Everything has been too loud for a long time And it’s ok That I’ll probably be alone for a long time I just wanna forget, and not remember this summer heat can’t bring no one together end of the summer is the end of forever just wanna skip this town, but its got my heart on a tether and this isn’t what i thought I’d be doing who i am right now is fighting with who i could be I’m always scared that if you really knew me you’d leave me behind, and maybe that’s where i should be I guess we’re gonna have to wait this one out Another year of drought

when i was a boy my father took me to the sea he handed me a fishing pole that looked taller than a tree to look me in the eyes he had to get down on his knees and ill always remember what he said to me he said no one gets remembered for the things they didn’t do and i know you’re just a boy, and so you’ve got so much to prove but even if you only catch minnows today don’t worry son, you’ll get some bigger fish one day don’t worry son, you’ll catch some bigger fish some day and all my life I’ve lived, wanting to escape and then one night i met the girl that gave beauty a name i could never afford her jewelry and i had only myself to blame but she just whispered these words to me then kissed me anyway she said no one gets remembered for the things they didn’t do and i know that we’re just kids, and so we’ve got so much to prove but even if we’re only catching minnows today don’t worry boy, we’ll get some bigger fish one day don’t worry boy, we’ll catch some bigger fish some day so if i win or lose it doesn’t matter in the end what i did or didn’t do it only matters who i am doesn’t matter if I’m doing great or if I’m only doing bad cause i can always tell myself as long as i stand that even though no one gets remember by the things they didn’t do and i know I’m still a kid, and I’ve still got so much to prove even though I’m only catching minnows today i know I’ll get some bigger fish some day

think about all the things we have think about how none of them are good think about all the lives we led before we got to this one see i don’t think that we’ll ever get over the way we were born, or the way we get older our lives are too short for these chips on our shoulders alright, alright show me your heart and i’ll show you a friend and show me you’re broken and i’ll help you mend just come take my hand cause we’re waking the dead tonight, oh tonight or call me a fake and i’ll call you a liar and you’ll call it fate, but you’re wearing a wire ask after my bones and I’ll show you the fire inside, inside how does it feel to be so fucking replaceable i would know i know she asks how does it feel to be so goddam useless well i would know and i know think about all the things we have think about how none of them are good think about all the lives we led before we got to this one and maybe this life wasn’t made for the ones who as much as they try can’t live without wanting to get out alive, feel like I’m looking out through the glass, the glass and all of these feelings i have overwhelm me the way that i am’s not the way that i wanna be i want to stand tall but my body betrays me and i forget and I’ve made mistakes, and you have too and I’ve caught some breaks and I’m sure I’ve missed a few and I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how everything has to end and when it does what’ll happen to me and what’ll happen to you cause this could all end so well but until then we just can’t tell and i wonder if you’re alright and i wonder if you’re ok and i wonder if you still plan on digging your own grave So don’t be a stranger no don’t just walk away round here things have been even stranger than the way we left that day and i wonder if you’re alright and i wonder if you’re ok and i wonder if you still plan on digging your own grave and i wonder if you’re alright and i wonder if you’re ok and i wonder if you still plan on digging your own grave and i wonder if you’re ok and i wonder if you’re alright and i wonder if you still plan on digging all night
