Dependants Day
Up in the mountains
On the Fourth of July
Sushi on the dashboard
And tears in my eyes
Because watching fireworks
Makes me realize
How alone I’ve become
Since you walked out of my life
I did this to us
Should’ve kept my mouth shut
Should’ve been quiet and patient
But I always care too much
And the holidays are rough
There’s no such thing as cheering up
Because so much change has taken place
Yet I’m still not quite enough
On the Fourth of July
Sushi on the dashboard
And tears in my eyes
Because watching fireworks
Makes me realize
How alone I’ve become
Since you walked out of my life
I did this to us
Should’ve kept my mouth shut
Should’ve been quiet and patient
But I always care too much
And the holidays are rough
There’s no such thing as cheering up
Because so much change has taken place
Yet I’m still not quite enough

Kombucha, Pasta Salad, & Swear Words
Pulled off to the side of the road
You're yelling off everything you know
You step out the car, I watch you go
you pick up a bottle of kombucha to throw
Toss out the pasta salad too
While I’m crying, eating is the last thing I want to do.
Found a haunted corn maze for us to stumble through.
But there wasn’t enough drama for you.
I never thought somebody could call me such names
Or bring up my past as me the one to blame
Whatever insults are close become ammo for the aim.
I don’t even love you. And your actions spell the...

now that we’re back home
we sleep on the trampoline, you kiss me on the tire swing. i’d think this is all a dream if it weren’t for the mystery.
in the rain you’d share your flask and trace your secrets on my back. you wipe the tears beneath my mask. i could be the one but you wont ask me to be.

Idaho
It’s already April now
And there’s still snow in the mountains
I thought about driving down
Just to see you
But look at the mess we’re in
I sleep reaching for your skin
Is my company just a sin? Cuz
I’d go to hell for you
And I don’t know
Where this will go
If we could take the roads
back to
Idaho
And after all these years;
My pain turns to souvenirs
And damn it I just want to
Reach the end
You’ve got so much on the mind
So I’ll leave my heart on the line
You...
And there’s still snow in the mountains
I thought about driving down
Just to see you
But look at the mess we’re in
I sleep reaching for your skin
Is my company just a sin? Cuz
I’d go to hell for you
And I don’t know
Where this will go
If we could take the roads
back to
Idaho
And after all these years;
My pain turns to souvenirs
And damn it I just want to
Reach the end
You’ve got so much on the mind
So I’ll leave my heart on the line
You...

Stop For A Second
You pull my hair & say my name to better see my face
You’re on your back, our movements are in sync; we’re warming up the place
& the more you speak, the more I want; the more we fall into a pace
I get nervous in your steady eyes but I can’t look away
Even in the most intense, you plant a sweet kiss on my head
The purest touch, are we meeting God? I could swear I’m born again.
Im not much into drinks so I think I’m now obsessed because
I never thought I’d beg to taste the Redds stuck on your breath
I come up for...
You’re on your back, our movements are in sync; we’re warming up the place

Vicariously
I wonder if I’ll ever be satisfied
I’m only young and I’m out of time
Grieving the lives that’ll never be mine
While I miss the one in front of my eyes
Wanna be more like you
I think she’s gorgeous too
Am I awake the days I go through?
I miss having something to lose.
And he told me he loved me
But he was high and said it was crazy
I replay those words like my favorite scene from a movie
Except it’s a tragedy for the viewer to suffer so deeply
I’m only young and I’m out of time
Grieving the lives that’ll never be mine
While I miss the one in front of my eyes
Wanna be more like you
I think she’s gorgeous too
Am I awake the days I go through?
I miss having something to lose.
And he told me he loved me
But he was high and said it was crazy
I replay those words like my favorite scene from a movie
Except it’s a tragedy for the viewer to suffer so deeply

getting smaller
Beneath the stars I feel even smaller
And yet I’m witnessing the most magnificent thing
And so when I am small
I’m a part of something great.
If only I knew
what to do
in the day
And yet I’m witnessing the most magnificent thing
And so when I am small
I’m a part of something great.
If only I knew
what to do
in the day

I’m not the girl you like in your feed half naked
Or the one posing with her friends in the sun
I’m not even the girl you text when you’re wasted
Or the one you picture in the shower while you stroke your luck
I’m not the girl at the thrift dressed in cool clothes
I’m not the one you’d dream of making your one and only
Im not the girl you could kiss at your shows
Sometimes im the girl you text when you’re lonely
Or the one posing with her friends in the sun
I’m not even the girl you text when you’re wasted
Or the one you picture in the shower while you stroke your luck
I’m not the girl at the thrift dressed in cool clothes
I’m not the one you’d dream of making your one and only
Im not the girl you could kiss at your shows
Sometimes im the girl you text when you’re lonely

(I don’t think) marriage is a scam
None of your friends believe in getting married
They don’t feel the weight all of those words carry
‘Cause across from the fire I’m mourning the very
loss of the vows we planned & miscarried
Up in the mountains beneath shooting stars
They’re all doing drugs while we lay on the car
You look everywhere except my broken heart
‘Cause it’s too much a hassle to ravel up yarn
I wait for you to ask if I’m doing alright
I’m counting on clocks that don’t have the time
Drowning for people who won’t take the dive
Who fall...
They don’t feel the weight all of those words carry
‘Cause across from the fire I’m mourning the very

‘Cause it’s too much a hassle to ravel up yarn
I wait for you to ask if I’m doing alright

Semantics
I’m still reeling from reality
Perhaps it all was semantic fallacy
I thought I was good, now I’m depressed again
Impressed you moved on fast, ashamed to say it fuels my agony
Perhaps it all was semantic fallacy
I thought I was good, now I’m depressed again
Impressed you moved on fast, ashamed to say it fuels my agony

Placebo (not finished)
I’m just a baby and the lonely’s coming back
You’ve got a pretty face and we like the same tracks
I’m just a second choice, dessert for your ego
But I’ll let you grab my throat if you’ll be my placebo
I think I’m feeling something but logically we don’t fit
So is it worth the chase despite the pain thats bound to come from it?
I want deeper than this; I want the gentle morning kiss
Your sweater on my back, your mundane to be my bliss
You’ve got a pretty face and we like the same tracks
I’m just a second choice, dessert for your ego
But I’ll let you grab my throat if you’ll be my placebo
I think I’m feeling something but logically we don’t fit
So is it worth the chase despite the pain thats bound to come from it?
I want deeper than this; I want the gentle morning kiss
Your sweater on my back, your mundane to be my bliss

starved
I want you to hate me
I don’t really know why
I tend to have these fucked up
Thoughts all the time like I
Want you to kiss me
Your hand’s on her thigh
And so maybe I’ll stare from across the room
And fade out with the high
It’s been so long since I felt this
I think they call them butterflies
And finally they’re here
(I thought I was broken)
For an unavailable guy.
I don’t really know why
I tend to have these fucked up
Thoughts all the time like I
Want you to kiss me
Your hand’s on her thigh
And so maybe I’ll stare from across the room
And fade out with the high
It’s been so long since I felt this
I think they call them butterflies
And finally they’re here
(I thought I was broken)
