Wasted 02:59
i wish i listened when i said i’d miss out on nothing i didn’t know i’d take a spell to go back and hug myself after i hit myself for wasting my time oh i like how easy it is to clown easy it is to drown oh like i might’ve said if i could go back when i had a foggy head and wasted the time i spent wish i could go back when i had a foggy head and wasted my time what fun to smile at things that would make me cry over a hundred times any day i’d take a spell to go back and hug myself oh how i’d hug myself for wasting my time

Swimming 04:00
“not again” i told myself what a pathetic cry for help must’ve scared them half to death with the way i hurt my head what a drama queen what a drama drama queen she’s a drama drama queen what a perfect waste of time chapped lips and swollen eyes i’m embarrassed i admit i could do better if i quit like a dream without an exit sign like a room that’s way too small oh i don’t think i can stomach it as i’m swimming in it all not even sure i believe it anyway everyone like me has it worse any day just a stupid drama queen just another stupid drama queen what a drama queen like a dream without an exit sign like a room that’s way too small oh i don’t think i can stomach it as i’m swimming in it all like a burning pinching in my skull like an image stuck on the wall oh i don’t think i can stomach it as i’m swimming in it all

if i talked to you again know i’d spew out all the wrong words forgetting everything i rehearsed if i smiled at you again know my brain would let me down looking for meaning in every line on your face rather live in the version stuck in my head where i feel the funny feeling of release maybe if i play it out enough in my head i can trick the funny feeling into being real it’s pathetic how much of an enigma this is to me i don’t know what it is i’m looking for how to make it all better how to make it all better for me bc if i talked to you again would that be an admit of defeat? or just taking the higher road? and if i smiled at you again would you give a little back? or leave me hanging with some kind of smirk on your face? rather live in the version stuck in my head where every little movement goes my way maybe if i play it out enough in my head i can trick every little movement into being real into being real it’s pathetic how much of an enigma this is to me i don’t know what it is i’m looking for how to make it all better how to make it all better for me it’s impressive how long i can hold a grudge on a leash i don’t know what it is i’m looking for how to make it all better how to make it all better for me i don’t know what it is i’m looking for, i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for, i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for, i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for, i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for, i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for, i’m looking for i don’t know what it is i’m looking for what i’m looking for

i wanted to feel all the things i’m supposed to i wanted the fire to burn through my world i wanted the tears, wanted something to break me and i wanted to write down the words but i wouldn’t know just like you just like you i wanted to see all the days i’m supposed to i wanted to prove i could do it all too i wanted the ice and the burns to remind me why i wanted to find someone like you just like you just like you who knew i can’t lose you don’t want to don’t want to i want you just like you

Stay With Me 03:33
do me a favor and sing me to sleep your breath on my shoulder take me wherever you go in your dreams can’t wait till the morning you make me older and younger at once make me like me like you lighten my head make it easy to run i wanna be like you stay with me please stay with me say you mean it stay with me easy to feel that you’re too good to keep your halo is showing hard to believe that you’re new to the people who make me less foggy you make me stronger and weaker at once not sure how you do it offer me clarity, make me feel dizzy please don’t let me ruin it stay with me please stay with me say you mean it stay with me

Over & Over 04:02
losing the game with rules that i made up alone on a tuesday too much time on my hands my hand is reaching for something in california i’d never live there i can’t handle the heat don’t like the way you’re looking at me it feels like a challenge what a weird waste of time the time when it is over i’ll never see ya i’ll never sing unless i’m drunk on a dare the day when it is over i’ll never wanna travel in time but know that i’d do it for you for you for you when it is over don’t be a stranger when it is over when it is over
