Transit

She said "Take a step back but please keep me in frame." So I spent the next five years standing in your way I walked in with you alone I'm walking out with you alone. And I know just how you'd get back at me If I said that these songs were about you. You'd c...

We're only talking cause you lost someone close to you. Without this entry you'd feel incomplete. Come treat me like a living diary and just turn the page and walk away. and it's true that I can feel this season in my bones as New England fills with snow. I...

I talk a big game But I can’t say it to your face So I’ll just say it, I'll just say it in a song. And all those big dreams and big words Didn’t get me far. Did they get you far? (Even when you want it) With all of your heart A wish is only that (Even when y...

I miss the breeze of the summer air The sunlight against my skin Do you remember it? We all felt more alive (You have to hold on) Yesterday when the wax was burning We tried to stay awake but we kept drifting off Yesterday when the wax was burning We drifted...

Eyes so strange, Time goes by, Watch you fall, again. Hold you close, Don't let go, Hear my call, afraid. I don't want to be the one, this time. I don't want to be the one this time. Eyes so strange, Time goes by, Watch you fall, again Hold you...

In your eyes money is the only route to happiness. Keep on following that lonely road down darkened streets you'll travel alone. You got to break that towering wall and light a fire inside your chest for a heart that's been so cold. I heard something about yo...

City walls are caving in. Once buildings stood so tall. Just metal scraps beneath our feet. This feeling's unsettling. We're caught in a freefall just waiting for an end. The weight of the world it presses down on me. I feel my bones begin to crack and break....

I wont forget that all I have are our memories. I'm retracing every step and look around at what I see. This place can bring you down but this is all I really need. I'm not about to lie down now. I'm not about to give up anything for you. I just need to take d...

Well I walked down to the shore and watched the water tear you away from me. So I cried out loud I cried out to you but I was to late. So I went inside and felt a strange feeling come over me. If I reach out to you I could have kept you safe. Now you're out t...

Does it feel like you lost a friend with the summers end? Now you've become more bitter than the cold That shows your breath and burns your throat. Well anyone who is anyone knows People change, they do. We're changing with the seasons And each falling l...

Just about ten drinks in You stumble across the floor (to apologize again) So you beg, steal, and borrow And you hope that tomorrow you can take it back So cross your fingers and dot the i's Apologize Fill in the blanks for all your lies Apologize So make ev...

Give me a reason why I should drop everything just for you. (I know they say) That bloods thicker than water But your heart is an empty well. (Can't you see that you're) Not a child anymore Our shoulders won't carry you Over self-made obstacles built up...

You've never felt quite right in your own skin and there's no place for a crook like me. You've never been in love. I don't know what it is and I don't believe that anyone can change me because you don't know anything about me. My backs against the door to kee...

Whatever happened to all those little lies? Whatever happened to all your little lies? Whatever happened to all those little lies? You wrapped yourself too tight this time Whatever happened to all your little lies? They cover you up and now you're screaming at...

Vielleicht war ich nur Station auf deinem Wege, war ein kurzer Aufenthalt um den Mantel abzulegen. Du standst oft vor meiner Tür um dich bei mir auszuruhen. Schon am nächsten Tag gingst du wieder fort, ich stand da ohne was zu tun. Ich war für dich `...

When I stepped inside My room was just the way I left it. An empty shell waiting for the sea. To be swallowed up inside a wave Left only to be forgotten. This empty shell it's waiting for the sea. Sink or Survive this place will bury will us alive. I'll...

It's fine by me We can walk everywhere like when we were eight years old When home was anywhere but home and by ourselves was not alone It's fine by me We can go anywhere making futures without fear Knowing they aren't here, no, they aren't here, well Th...

Abroad adventure with a few close friends Took an eight hour flight over the Atlantic Ocean Jetlagged and lovesick for days on end Wrapped up in the music, we sang and we sang Follow me, follow me into the night Why even ask why? Why even ask why? Follo...

Keep focused on your footwork; your feet won't leave the ground. but your head will hit the concrete to make a sick sad song. Even sadder then writing this all down to a ghost that doesn't care enough to haunt you, to want you. It just keeps you around. I al...

The last thing you said to me was this "I wouldn't trade you for the world" (I couldn't trade you for the world) Because in the moment I knew how it truly felt to be loved unconditionally. When you held me on the back porch underneath the setting sun. You...

We always say, forgive, forget Like that will tech us to live without regret [x2] I ask advice, I don't take it. Every gift I'm given, I shake until I break it. (forgive, forget) I'm distant, I'm unrealistic- just add it to the list. And I'm not angry, I nev...

You're giving in. Just let the poison take control It's destroying everything. Everything within. (Time takes it toll on us, Until we have nothing left to give, I have nothing left to give.) It poured into your soul And drowned the heart within. We're...

You were walking down the dead end streets while I was chasing echoes. Just trying to catch familiar voices. But all I'm hearing is this: "Your choices lead you down this road so if you're walking all alone" Is that you, did you get lost, well I did too. Did...

Your words are words The canvas is meaningless Just say it like you mean it Rewrite it, repeat it I painted you a portrait You said, "Get to the point, get to the point." Let me call it as I see it Let me be the ghost writer Who fills the page so you will ta...

You have to stop looking for the chorus in everything you've lost. As if you orchestrate your failures to give yourself a crutch. A crutch to lean. A crutch to fall. It's just a poor excuse so I won't stand at all. I won't stand at all. I used to be afraid of...

Leave the keys inside the mailbox. I'll be by soon enough. Too young to hold on, too old to just give up. I'll be by soon enough. (if you won't) Change the locks and throw away those keys (don't bury me). I'd rather watch this place burn down then let it all...

Come tomorrow I’ll be on my way back home. In the morning call from a roadside telephone. One night doesn’t mean the rest of my life. If I go it’s not impossible Possible is probably wrong. So, let go cause I’m afraid to try Keep my hands by my side....

You have to stop looking for the chorus in everything you've lost. As if you orchestrate your failures to give yourself a crutch. I drive by two streets a day with your last name, And it's a cruel twist of fate how much we lose ourselves to find someone else....

You set a fire and you walked away Set me free of my hopes and dreams It's so hard to pinpoint the blame Then there's me, the general consensus judge and jury Then there's me, everybody screaming guilty And I'm wrong as you fan the flames into my face...

I'm getting tired of being told to live in the moment, when all I want is my bed and the sounds of the ocean. With hoods pulled tight and our sleeves covering our hands. It's getting harder to sleep and we never seem to dream. It's getting harder to sleep, we'...

I'm no good now and I'm not sure that I ever was. Apologies are all thats left of me now. Crying hard into my arms I'll always be the lonely. I'll always be I'll always be I'll always and I know that it's easier to get there then it ever is to leave but I thin...

Looking up at a meteor shower On top of the roof of my old car It was a night that I won't forget. The lights would paint the sky You should have seen it. The stars they burn so bright here Why don't they shine we're your from. How I wish that I That I...

Find me again like a rusted in bike in your back yard Pull me up from the debris I'm covered up in dust and leaves We're lighting fires in July To cleanse us of the heat You beg, you plead, you promise not to leave You're just like everyone You're just...

You told me you had a beautiful voice But you only sing to yourself I believed you I've been singing about you for years now It all will even out You will never hear the truth It's not fair Loneliness burns I never thought I'd say how I miss November...

How long do you have to say that This is not the person I used to know You're not the person I used to know So go on, go on Go on Because lately you've been looking at me like you've seen a ghost And isn't it obvious who's been missing who the most (missing...

I always knew that I would live and die in Boston. When I was five I put my hands into cement and you knelt beside me. It dried up and hardened so fast. We packed our bags and headed south leaving them behind, never coming back. To those same small hands that...

Now isn't it sad when we find our place. (Condemned and rebuilt so easily replaced now.) We stick to the floors just like shadows. (A nameless kid, an empty place.) I remember when our hearts skipped to this sound. Now we long for that beating pulse. Would you...

I have nowhere to be but I'm leaving again and that's just how it's always been. Alone, in this backyard, scratching away at the fences. Never escaping, never mending. So enter and exit up, recite your scene. That same old song, take a bow and move along and...

I drove through the front yard I parked on the bridge I saw the coastline like I never did You know nothing lasts forever No, nothing lasts forever I thought that I blocked out December Until I heard the news I swore that I left you inside of the glove...

Happy birthday kid, now go ahead and make a wish For everything that's old and gray to turn back to new again Happy birthday friend, let's raise a glass for what's ahead For all the nights that never end, "let's raise a couple more", I said Happy birthday...

Just picture me on a train heading home at one a.m. and I'll picture you're doing the same. dressed up with somewhere else to be. I hope he says that he loves you. I hope you see it in his eyes. I hope his shoulder is softer than mine. I hope that he's better...

On an outbound train surrounded by strangers I wonder just where they'll go. As the world flies by right outside my window I see the birds in the sky with nowhere else to be. As our train car derails and rolls into the ocean I'll be honest I wouldn't miss a th...

Hey kid, you're in over your head Looked and you leapt And now all that you get is gravity and pain Like a movie I'm watching My nails I am biting And you are just fighting to stay awake Now I just feel pathetic Like most things, I let it just push me aside B...

In my defense the sky isn't getting any clearer and day-by-day I'm finding place in myself that were best left under lock and key. and sometimes it seems there's happiness for everyone but me. so how do you take this when someone says to your face "why can't...

The wind stole color from the trees With a burst of October air. It's tearing out the roots, What's left has falling apart. How the branches used to sway. They were singing songs of beauty. But you heard nothing just deafening screams. And I still miss...

I learned to say these words long before I knew what they meant. and I know you're good at keeping secrets well I'm better at wearing them out for the world to see. So take that old cracked photograph and tuck it away. Well knowing you it takes most of the t...

Walking away from another fight I still see those eyes every time I close mine I Try to smile, my teeth tend to hide When you tend to leave, our love behind Hold on and hold steady Say the word and come collect me you know I'm ready, say the word and co...

After tonight I just can't be alone I’m driving home beneath the stoplights They’re holding me in suspense. But that’s just the way it is I guess For those of us who move too fast And I wish that I could say That I'm wishing you the best But I can’t, but I can...

These fifteen-hour drives and all of these sleepless nights are taking hold of me. So turn up the radio and keep singing on and on We like it fast out on the road out on the road. What will the highway signs bring to us tomorrow? The passing headlights wil...

I haven't slept in forever, only rest to get better I'm up every three hours or so With the same awful thoughts that keep me in my place Too tired to act out or make sense of my days Maybe, I'll find peace Maybe, between the cold sheets Maybe, that's al...

So many times I could of walked out not knowing if I'd be back again. I guess kids like me know how to make an exit but we never really leave. I was the last to see you, I left you standing all alone but you didn't have to deal with the guilt that will plagu...

Hands holding tight Only, letting go we let them raise so high Above our heads Smiling and screaming to our hearts content. We never realize how quickly life can change Or how much these days have meant. It’s like roller coaster that you never want to end. So...

Walking outside the gates of winter cemetery. I wonder when my time will be spent beneath the dirt and leaves. As uplifting as that sounds, I'm not about to lay down and die. Still my heart beats to the tune of my uncertainty. So I try to make the most of my s...

Can you see that all of the houses are burning While our backs were turned away. Inside the fire we'll be Consumed by it all. Nothing but ash remains. Eyes scorched, reflecting flames, We will not go down without a fight. Eyes scorched, reflecting flame...

Why should I apologize? Tell me now, now’s not the time I only see you in a half truth and half light Waiting on a better life, a better lie Don’t wait too long Are you feeling lost and alone? With someone else is something wrong Tell me what you’re ru...

What a mess this is I Clench my fists and lose my grip. I 'm throwing the towel in. I swear, I'm seeing red again. Fighting on to survive. Every inch feels like a mile. I scrape and claw Cut deep I'm bleeding out again Well I try, I tried and I try but...

Following the same roads, from a place I once called home And I'm Staring into passing cars and wondering if any of this means a thing to me. Well this is all I have and this is where I need to be right now. I just don't know anymore. Focus the light has blind...

I'm getting good at saying goodbye But I've always been better at believing That you're better off Wherever you go, go with all your heart Worn out and broken in like hand me downs And every memory is like a skipping stone You'll never understand how long it...

I poured my heart out I told you to keep this to yourself I know that it's all my fault I know that it's all my fault The best and worst years of my life Fell into these lines The best and worst days of my life Just fit into these lines I said it and I meant...

So many days and nights of my life escape. It always fades away with time. (The color fades away) It's this feeling that has me going nowhere, gaining nothing at all. If anyone should find you staring up at the unending sky. What if I was smiling and running i...

I watched your ship sink into an ocean, into a sea of self-destruction. Your hands were reaching up. (Now you're only pulling me down with it.) We watched your ship sink into an ocean, into a sea of our destruction. Your hands were reaching up. (Now you're onl...

Just like a dream fading like a photograph in the rain You're just the pieces I'm picking up Down on my knees you broke my bones into summer dust You're just the pieces I'm picking up Let it go, a wave out a window So far, so good, it's all over so Let...

Call me never answer Leave me running after Oh, I wish that you were here I'll keep you with me Watch me burn the pictures Hate me, heavy drinker Oh, I wish that you were here I'll keep you in our sweet resistance Will you keep me at a distance? You'...

Screaming out the kitchen window You were right The world is so cold So bundle up But keep up the pace Because everybody's watching And you got just what you wanted Didn't you? Well, didn't you? Keep up the pace Because everybody's watching And it's so hard...

I guess I should have known better. Everything's become subjective. And we're always changing our perspective of what's right. And I'm caught between the color schemes of black and white. And I know that it's not right It's not right Because it seems that al...

Just this once (believe me) You hate how I'm always right. You never listen to me. Over and over and over again. I'm driving you home tonight. and you can't blame the distance, persistence, or time and though I'm far from perfect I know that I always tried, I...

Here’s where the horror hits home I figured it all out on my own Heaven is what you make it Hell is what you’re putting me through Out there waiting unknown, I get the feeling you’re not alone How could you? Why would you? Who told you? And now I know t...

Am I the best you ever have? Or do I'm blended with the rest? Am I the pounding in your chest? And does it ever leave your head? Was I the life you waited for? Toss and turn inside your bed I'm sorry, it's not me, it's not me Let me take you back to f...

Stories carved in to the streets, into the pavement where we Scraped our knees they've worn down. Worn down like a dim lit flame we used to burn so brightly. We're covered under winter's snow silenced with the landscape. We sit and wait to thaw. I still reme...

I've tried to keep my conscience light But guilt and anxiety were sold to me Guilt and anxiety keep me up at night With the best of intentions I can't forget how you took away the happiness from my life Like all the city lights broke at the same time You can'...
