So let's go for a drive, no destination or road in mind
We'll have the, have the time of our lives
But the day will come when you realise
It's time to wake up, and see the day that you couldn't see my face
But I think, it's better that way
You'll look back and turn the page
When you couldn't get your way
But I think, it's better this way
I think it's better this way
You came around and you would just say that its
Better for us to stay
And stick it out when all you'll feel is
Pain
Pain
You'll get tired of me
And the day will come when you'll up and leave
It's time to wake up, and see the day that you couldn't see my face
But I think, it's better that way
You'll look back and turn the page
When you couldn't get your way
But I think, it's better this way
It's too late, I'm fake today
I couldn't cry anyway, the pictures created our space
The nightstand and empty frame
Escape games just thrown away
I'd give anything for those days
So take a good hard look at yourself
And tell me do you see the vision everyone else has felt?
And will you stand there rejecting and refusing to change?
Or will you stand up united and savor the day?
Please stay the same
I can't explain
Life's not the same
Your actions reactions
Are leading to change

I'm pushing through the splinters
Counting down the days to winter
And I'm looking at our pictures
Cause I couldn't catch your fate
It's almost spring you know I can't afford a ring
Now you losing interest, I know it's just too late
And now it's too late and that's my mistake
It's not your load to bear, I know this isn't fair
Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home
haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think i'm better off, I think I'm better alone
I'm passing all the sprinters,
Warding off our weathered wither
And we're hanging all our pictures
Getting ready for some space
Its almost fall now and we haven't changed at all
Are we losing interest? I know it's just too late
And now it's too late and that's my mistake
It's not your load to bear, I know this isn't fair
Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home,
Haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think I'm better off, I think I'm better off
Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home,
Haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think I'm better off, I think I'm better alone
Spiderwebs flowing through the glass
While the water slowly fills its way to my lap
Can't cut the belt, too late
Coulda sworn that I hit the brakes
Spiderwebs flowing through the glass
While the water slowly fills its way to my lap
Can't cut the belt, too late
Coulda sworn that I hit the brakes
Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home
Haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think I'm better off, I think I'm better off
Nit-pick myself down to the bone
I can't tell what it takes to make a home
Haven't found the tools quite right yet
I think i'm better off, I think I'm better alone
We are just arms with appetite
Crying eyes made from sleepless nights
While others just struggle to grow up
I'm struggling just to keep up
We are just arms with appetite
Crying eyes made from sleepless nights
While others just struggle to grow up
I'm struggling just to keep up
We are just arms with appetite
Crying eyes made from sleepless nights
While others just struggle to grow up
I'm struggling just to keep up

Birkenstock boy, bag of sandwiches
He can't tell that there's six to one advantages
How did he find his way into this house?
(Whose house is this?)
These are the memories, that you don't get to see
That'll wind and weave what's left for me
Your space in my mind is counted out
It’s crystal clear we won't work things out
It’s crystal clear we won't work things out
Fractures forming, textiles shifting
But i don't really wanna be the same again
Be the same again
So send the message and tell the tale you
Never felt yourself
Never felt yourself
I wont say ‘hi,’ this isn't a shell
You don't comprehend and it's clear to tell
Bury your mind and think for yourself
It’s crystal clear we won't work things out
It’s crystal clear we won't work things out
Fractures forming, textiles shifting
But i don't really wanna be the same again
Be the same again
So send the message and tell the tale you
Never felt yourself
Never felt yourself
I tried so hard to keep it conversational I'm breaking away
I'm breaking away
I’m...break
I'm breaking away
I'm breaking away
I'm breaking away

Collect your real problems from the suburbs
Bloody elbows, do you remember?
Tooth shudders tear and masticate
Rippling rivers, on a crumby date
School sucks, caterpillars
Such a bummer, i'll never graduate
I'm dreading everyday hope that this ends soon
I'm dreading everyday hope that this ends soon
You reminisce about who and when
Times closed and everybody knows it
You always talk about what could have been
Hats off to those that turned their noses
You reminisce about who and when
Times closed and everybody knows it
You always talk about what could have been
Hats off to facing the end
Collect your real problems from the suburbs
Bloody elbows, do you remember?
Tooth shudders tear and masticate
Rippling rivers, on a crumby date
School sucks, caterpillars
Such a bummer, i'll never graduate
I'm dreading everyday hope that this ends soon
You reminisce about who and when
Times closed and everybody knows it
You always talk about what could have been
Hats off to those that turned their noses
You reminisce about who and when
Times closed and everybody knows it
Taking walks through weathered walls
Windings scenes as tall as trees
Finding outcomes that benefit all
Tearing restitching
Fabrics and seams
Fabrics and seams
You reminisce about who and when
Times closed and everybody knows it
You always talk about what could have been
Hats off to those that turned their noses
You reminisce about who and when
Times closed and everybody knows it
Collect your real problems from the suburbs
Bloody elbows, do you remember?
Tooth shudders tear and masticate
Rippling rivers, on a crumby date
School sucks, caterpillars
Such a bummer, i'll never graduate
I'm dreading everyday hope that this ends soon
I'm dreading everyday hope that this ends soon

Reset our goals in fright
To feel like they are attainable tonight, tonight
Save frame, rinse, and recleanse
Constructed visions you always saw through a lense, a lense
Transpose the meanings into distant definitions
Form the ideal environments for the ones of whom will listen
What I want is so far away
Daydream of the times without you
When it all comes down to it
Don't worry about where I stand
You've lost all your privileges
I'm not the one that you needed me to be
Create, tear, and stain the skies
These penless stories they always come to an end, an end
So times are tough collaborate with null conditions
To create the false illusion that this world is yet worth living
What I want is so far away
Daydream of the times without you
When it all comes down to it
Don't worry about where I stand
You've lost all your privileges
I'm not the one that you needed me to be, to be
I can't be everything that you need complete, complete
I won't be out here aching for your sympathy
Run away, run away
Run away run away
Run away, run away
Run away get away
Run away, run away
So they can't see you and you'll
Get away, get away
So you won't face this
Run away, run away
So they won't see you and you'll
Get away, get away
When it all comes down to it
Don't worry about where I stand
You've lost all your privileges
I'm not the one that you needed me to be, to be
I can't be everything that you need complete, complete
I won't be out here aching for your sympathy

Seems strange that life wont rearrange when you ask it to
It’s messed up, right?
Things change and I am running away because you asked me to
It’s messed up, right? It’s messed up, right?
One day you'll find what you're looking for
Hidden behind an open door
Heaven knows it won't feel right
Heaven knows it won't feel right
And now I'm finally out here
I'm doing better than last year
And after everything we talk about
I'm the one that's different and your still right here
I finally feel like I got this
Yeah I finally feel like I've got this
Watch the story unwind like I figured it out
Watch the story unwind like I figured
Rearrange time keeps slipping away when you don't ask it to
It’s messed up, right?
Change ways and I am still saving face because you asked me to
It’s messed up, right? It’s messed up, right?
One day you'll find what you're looking for
Hidden behind an open door
Heaven knows it won't feel right
Heaven knows it won't feel right
And now I'm finally out here
I'm doing better than last year
And after everything we talk about
I'm the one that's different and your still right here
I finally feel like I got this
Yeah I finally feel like I've got this
Watch the story unwind like I figured it out
Watch the story unwind like I figured
You can't make the change without changes
Things will stay the same til you face this
You can't make the change without changes or you'll stay the same
You can't make the change without changes
Things will stay the same til you face this
You can't make the change without changes or you'll stay the same
