Remember When We Met On The Weekend
Last night you slapped me
Now you want us to go streaking
I’ll do whatever you want
Cuz I know you’re leaving me on the weekend
When the line wears off
You use me just to sweeten
When I’m dry you’re out there cheating
Cuz you know you’re leaving me on the weekend
The outside is empty
The core in the world deepens
Nothings adding up to why
You’re leaving me on the weekend
Now you want us to go streaking
I’ll do whatever you want
Cuz I know you’re leaving me on the weekend
When the line wears off
You use me just to sweeten
When I’m dry you’re out there cheating
Cuz you know you’re leaving me on the weekend
The outside is empty
The core in the world deepens
Nothings adding up to why
You’re leaving me on the weekend

Weekend Show
October 11, 2021 7:53p
Are you replaying that night over and over?
I still like you babe and I’m sitting here sober
It’s so terrible to admit and I don’t know
You love her and I’m just a weekend show
I want a man to call me names that are only so nice
When I find the right people its at the wrong time
The rain and the sirens house the adrenaline so well
I bet we look great together when we go to hell

The rain and the sirens house the adrenaline so well

“can i tell you something terrible? its really bad. i wish i hadn’t freaked out after we did what we did..”
I’ve never done this before
I always fall in love first
But laying next to you alone in our friend’s bed
makes me want to do the worst.
And I know I shouldn’t feel this way,
It makes me such a hypocrite
But just one touch
Just a little bit
Is all it takes
To make a mistake
But I don’t regret it,
I don’t want you to forget it.
Do you feel the same way?
Are we really doing this?
I guess it doesn’t count
If we don’t kiss.
I always fall in love first
But laying next to you alone in our friend’s bed
makes me want to do the worst.
And I know I shouldn’t feel this way,
It makes me such a hypocrite
But just one touch
Just a little bit
Is all it takes
To make a mistake
But I don’t regret it,
I don’t want you to forget it.
Do you feel the same way?
Are we really doing this?
I guess it doesn’t count
If we don’t kiss.

V1
It's already 4:51
Are there wrong ways to fall in love?
Stuck in heartbreak,
where every fault gets the best of me.
V2
You don't deserve to see
what I wear when I go to sleep
'til you tell me who i am;
'cause underneath is my history.
*instrumental*
V3
I have to get up soon,
drive myself to therapy at noon
Can I call you?
I'm going crazy in my room.
V4
Slow dancing in the dark,
Burning tears, light up in the park.
i'm sorry,
I left my guitar in your car.
Bridge
Can I stay at...

I Know It's Dumb, but..
I wanted you
to tell me
it's going to be okay.
Instead you made me fear
the death you'll die someday.
I wanted you
to say sorry
when the cops came to my house.
When you pushed me down the stairs.
I watched them escort you out.
I wanted you
to be the one
Who showed up on the bad days
or at the very least
be in the crowd at my school plays.
I wanted you
to be real
like really talk to me.
You are made up of jokes and pointing fingers.
I know there's more to you underneath.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
I can't stand when you walk away
in the middle of a fight.
And I'm left in your bed
unsure of how to make things right.
it's wrong, all fucking wrong.
Everything I try.
How do I stand up for myself
and still be polite?
Sometimes the way you read me
is just the beginning and the end.
Like you're back in school,
preparing for the test.
Listen to my words,
you may not agree
But that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
That is you and this is me.
Every time we fall
I...

last night i found god
Some nights I ask God to take away my life,
other times I thank him for the beauty & the time.
Well last night I found God, I said
"I know this is wrong,
but can you make sure I'm gone
when my alarm goes off?"
But I woke up in a tangle of hair
I asked God if he was still there
I got no reply.
So I opened the blinds.
I cried and then I
set out to find the beauty & the time
other times I thank him for the beauty & the time.

So Damn Pretty
You look so pretty in the way you tie your shoes
I'll kiss the bags beneath your eyes of tired green and blue.
And if you want to spend the night with me that would be okay too.
You smoke that roll, I'll sip this booze.
You look so pretty in the way you try to cry
But you don't feel a thing, I ask myself why every night.
But we both pretend there's tears and I tell you it's alright,
I'll buckle your seatbelt and take you on a drive.
You look so pretty. But not as much when you're mad
Red is your color, even if it's a flag. ...

Knives
My bed smells like smoke and your body wash
I fold under the weight of you being gone
And your love is not okay
I don't deserve to hurt that way
But the way you learned me is phenomenon
When you hold my hand, you love me, I swear
The kisses you left on my body, I wear
I'm starting to see maybe I'll leave you alone 'cause
Maybe I'm Knives and she's your Ramona
I'll change my hair.

I think if you really loved me,
you'd meet me in my eyes.
You'd ask me to stay,
be glad that I came,
& not get so mad when I cry.
You said, 'Ken, I'll always love you'
But you already had me replaced.
I feel like a loser,
of course you would choose her.
She's got more chains & your same music taste.
