Run Forever

Well I saw 10,000 leagues of black, with wooden graves on top of them. And each one of them represents a memory I tired to keep, they're fading fast. On the horizon they're spots of paint. it sends them back from where they came, and they're released....

Well it rained all the way down it was the start of the summer Before all the bad news about your younger brother Now we're driving in your car pretending that everything's alright If we're not that much older why's it feel like a lifetime Where'd the...

I felt just like everyone When I grew so bored with my life I got a job to save for a big vacation Couldn't find someplace I liked But if the plane went down Or if the fuel runs out Over the ocean and no one was ever found It would be just as well as w...

Well they tore down another house and It all looks different out of my window And the kids run through the neighborhood There's a big game going on out in the road And the trucks stir up the black earth and it settles all around The same way I do n...

ou ask if I wanna' go out but I stay home and soon I know I'll grow to hate this house Because when I said I'd be better by myself what I meant was help I remember the sound of waking up by water and how that summer felt like a movie Before the fir...

I am a no-game-player in the who-you-know world Oh who am I to blame? I'm on the outside looking in at your balancing act Of congratulations and mountains of grace We are fragile and easy to break Like concentration Read at a concert while waiting your...

'll be your new secret Best kept in this car The motions feel foreign I'm acting my part Bodies that fumble in the dark We're breathing so heavy Collapse in the sharp grass You just get so lonely You need this contact It's too bad the feeling never l...

When It starts to seem like you're losing heart in everything and everyone you love it's easy just to give up And who I am keeps changing with the sun It goes down / It comes up A bad mood / Some bad blood I'm bitter / So what In a world that's made to...

You say your name Like you don't know who it belongs to Side effects make you stay up all night Sleep all day Filling my head With flowers and with chemicals I'm on your bed Tearing the petals off This one you like me This one you don't care at all...

There's helicopters over head, there's someone lying dead in the street. There's happiness in death I've heard to live is just to follow the beat. Now skeletons are all we are, nine numbers on a computer screen. But we don't work enough, we laugh too mu...

I wanna say I'm better than I was and that I'm not the kind to give up And I wanna' know just how strong I am Yeah I don't care anymore what happens They're still my best friends Everything makes me so afraid All these things that I feel but won't...

It's been two years and I only feel worse when everything's perfect I still find a way to get hurt And now I'm afraid I'll never be good enough of a friend, I'm scared you'll get bored and we wont keep in touch Yeah, I barely call except when there's...

Fall asleep in the backseat Of your mother's car I don't care where you take me The red of the tail lights trailing through the dark Lie to me and tell me I'm safe You can never protect me that way Take off our shoes and walk across the concrete Out pa...

A brave little boy, with a crooked smile and a white lie innocence. I was never innocent to begin with, I was born with experience. Oh, you didn't know it but I studied you and I'm worse for it, In all the ways I've changed. Now I wanna' climb out f...

I don't need to know what goes on without me, You don't have to tell me. We're both older now, It was just some memory from when I was dumb. I believed in God, You were drunk in some field. I don't live there anymore. I saw you walk through headlight...

Ugly secrets that I keep inside of me Buried well-hidden rooms you'll never see Voices compete A chorus of awful sounds A room full of friends I left with an empty mouth Patiently waiting for the sun to explode May this party end so that I can go home...

Blankets drying over his old bed Drop the casket in the ground Ivory like the second time you married Pure no more And secrets found out Sleep on the floor of a stranger's house Tell myself I could be someone else Once familiar things can lose their sh...

We are all the same old friend, yes you and I. We all make the same mistakes every time. So tell my why haven't we learned by now that everything's a circle, and once you die only god can let you out. We'll all be lifted, up all the way high, high into...

Start the car and drive away I fill my head with all the things I never say At the window, sit on the roof Watching you smoke I don't wanna go home Press my skin against the cold cement Watching satellites from a driveway float over my head Where's t...

I'm stretching out my arms reaching for both coasts My traveling heart never gets that far from home I'm keeping my words tucked inside my mouth everything I'm afraid of I will never say out loud The things I believe are constantly changing I just...

Been living in the city having dreams that I was dying, I woke up such a mess, scared into believing again. Got buried by the endlessness of everything I'd ever been. I used to have the answers, now I'm asking all the questions. Was it god that made m...

Sometimes I think we're all the same and I'm not the only one with nothing to say I tried acting like somebody else when you were around and I feel so stupid right now Some days disappearing gets old but I know it's easy to get comfortable So I keep ev...

I hardly knew you before you took the plunge And traded water for the air inside your lungs From the big red bridge hanging over the river I'm not the first one to lack the guts No one pays much attention to the details That surround these exchanges Wo...

You wrote that I hope that this find you when you're in a good place And today I was better because I wanted to change Seems like I've been bitter forever and unhappily young All my problems were mountains that I never could climb up But I was just a...

You say that you've been better but I only hear you crying now In the middle of the night when you're asleep inside that empty house Pictures hang to serve as reminders of memories from years ago A vacation you took with an old boyfriend to the west coast...

I didn't wanna' die young, I didn't wanna' die at twenty-one, The saddest song I've ever sung. "What about my best friends?" "The kids that I grew up with," I think you'd say. Cause' I couldn't write it any other way. We pass through time lines, We ma...

On the cover of a magazine There are 15 ways to blame Or shift responsibility It's easier to believe We're not inheriting our parents' mistakes Today I felt like dying Or calling an old friend In search of consolation You just offer prayer You can pi...

Its so easy to focus on the things you lack. Like when a friend that leaves gets you feeling bad. All the conversations and the questions you never asked, or had. There's only one way out and sometimes that leaves me feeling trapped. Old photos displayed o...

You've been afraid for so long of everything around you In pictures I saw how your eyes burned before I was young Everything's getting worse All the weight you've been carrying I know you Sun bruised kid. I don't wanna' be somebody I just wanna' b...

I swear that I'll make it out of this year, though I may not know where I am going it's certainly better than here. I swear that I'll make it out of this year, though I've lost all the things I believed in; Hey, I'm still breathing. We all lost a friend...

So I've made my decision and there's no going back, cause' time will win the world and what happens after that is just some lost cause; some thing we thought that we could fight. We must wake from this coma of constant routine, pick off the callous a...

I'll trade you my love my friend to drown all the ghosts of the people I've been. I'm so lost with their absence, just swimming through shame and a debt I could never repay. Searching for pity in a song I fumbled a few chords that never belonged. I wok...

You seem bored tonight The party's for you Say all the right things and you might be excused Everyone's ugly when you watch their mouth move Live in a magazine locked up in your room All the weight under me disappears I'm seeing everything so clear It'...

I was tired and afraid as we spoke on the interstate, now I am sitting on this train as all the scenery is sweeping me away. I'm not sure what to say, and I can't just make this go away. I tried to put it underground, now it's resurfacing and I'm heade...

Run away, in parking lots we'll unite, there's time to waste, we've got the rest of our lives. I'm told that I'm suppose to live somebody else's dream that isn't mine. We'll make our place, down interstates in the night, and the better days are right in fr...
