She's wearing an old dress, walking it out
Waiting for someone to turn her around
But she won't believe you
When you fall down on your knees
She fell asleep listening to my friends
Talking on and on about how the world ends
Then she wakes up
And climbs in my front seat
And she said
"Don't you wait to try it
Are you scared to find it?
And do you wanna take my broken heart?
Are you scared to start?"
Let's lay in the dead grass, stare at the stars
Run away and live out of cars and bars
Let's just leave here
'Cause there's nothing left to see
And if that's wrong, let's make it right
And if you leave, just give me one more night
'Cause there's no one
That you'll find that's quite like me
And she said
"Don't you wait to try it
Are you scared to find it?
And do you wanna take my broken heart?
Are you scared to start?"
You don't need the paycheck, don't need the rent
You can take it all 'cause it's already spent
We can burn out, just as long as we burn bright
And she said
"Don't you wait to try it
Are you scared to find it?
And do you wanna take my broken heart?
Will you ever heal from all these scars?
Did you ever take it all so far?
Are you scared to start?"

American Romance
When you were young
Found you a good man
And told you he was a Christian
Just like you had planned
Now your dreams
And this American romance
Is looking more like your parents
And you know damn well how that ends
Whatever you choose
It's all up to you
Oh oh oh oh
And the first thing I'll do
Won't be for you
Driving home
Don't wanna feel the tension
You're crying out for redemption
You know it's too late
And you scream out
Maybe it's all just another phase
But I only see you on holidays
How did it end up this way
Whatever you choose
It's all up to you
Oh oh oh oh
And the first thing I'll do
Won't be for you
Drove my car to leave this disaster
I've mistaken your love as laughter
And California's colder than last year
Far from you so maybe I'll stay here
Drove my car to leave this disaster
I've mistaken your love as laughter
And California's colder than last year
Far from you so maybe I'll stay here
Found you a good man
And told you he was a Christian
Just like you had planned
Now your dreams
And this American romance
Is looking more like your parents
And you know damn well how that ends
Whatever you choose
It's all up to you
Oh oh oh oh
And the first thing I'll do
Won't be for you
Driving home
Don't wanna feel the tension
You're crying out for redemption
You know it's too late
And you scream out
Maybe it's all just another phase
But I only see you on holidays
How did it end up this way
Whatever you choose
It's all up to you
Oh oh oh oh
And the first thing I'll do
Won't be for you
Drove my car to leave this disaster
I've mistaken your love as laughter
And California's colder than last year
Far from you so maybe I'll stay here
Drove my car to leave this disaster
I've mistaken your love as laughter
And California's colder than last year
Far from you so maybe I'll stay here

The Other Side
When the cold comes
Pushing down heavy on this town
And there's no one around
To keep out the sound
That is all in my head, no, it's all in my head
I'm holding it back 'til I'm lying in bed
That's when all the walls close in on me
The other side is where I wanna be
Leave your words underneath my feet
Leave these demons that haunt my street
I'll find my way out
And never look back
As the years go
You'll grow old before you're told to leave
I was born just to drown
So bury my dreams
'Cause it's all in my head, no, it's all in my head
I'm holding it back 'til I'm lying in bed
That's when all the walls close in on me
The other side is where I wanna be
Leave your words underneath my feet
Leave these demons that haunt my street
I'll find my way out
What if I never run?
I'm still my father's son
I'll take it all and throw it away
And if it's all the same
I'll be the one to blame
There'll be no one to stand in my way
And everyone I know is running in circles
It's what you do in this goddamn town
The other side is where I wanna be
Leave your words underneath my feet
Leave these demons that haunt my street
I'll find my way out
And never look back
Pushing down heavy on this town
And there's no one around
To keep out the sound
That is all in my head, no, it's all in my head
I'm holding it back 'til I'm lying in bed
That's when all the walls close in on me
The other side is where I wanna be
Leave your words underneath my feet
Leave these demons that haunt my street
I'll find my way out
And never look back
As the years go
You'll grow old before you're told to leave
I was born just to drown
So bury my dreams
'Cause it's all in my head, no, it's all in my head
I'm holding it back 'til I'm lying in bed
That's when all the walls close in on me
The other side is where I wanna be
Leave your words underneath my feet
Leave these demons that haunt my street
I'll find my way out
What if I never run?
I'm still my father's son
I'll take it all and throw it away
And if it's all the same
I'll be the one to blame
There'll be no one to stand in my way
And everyone I know is running in circles
It's what you do in this goddamn town
The other side is where I wanna be
Leave your words underneath my feet
Leave these demons that haunt my street
I'll find my way out
And never look back

Savannah
Savannah, all I've ever known
And I'm asking, you to come back home
Cause you were running out the door in the pouring rain
Cause the years of being sober must've drove you insane
If the good days are over, I can still try for another one
And it's over over over cause of you
And it's over over over I love you
And I'll make the money if you give it time
I'm still here if you ever change your mind
And you know, where it's gonna go
You are wild, it's so far in your soul
Cause you were running out the door in the pouring rain
Cause the years of being sober must've drove you insane
If the good days are over, I can still try for another one
And it's over over over cause of you
And it's over over over I love you
And I'll make the money if you give it time
I'm still here if you ever change your mind
And it's over over over cause of you
And it's over over over I love you
And I'll make the money if you give it time
I'm still here
And I can pretend that you never lied
If you ever ever ever change your mind
And I'm asking, you to come back home
Cause you were running out the door in the pouring rain
Cause the years of being sober must've drove you insane
If the good days are over, I can still try for another one
And it's over over over cause of you
And it's over over over I love you
And I'll make the money if you give it time
I'm still here if you ever change your mind
And you know, where it's gonna go
You are wild, it's so far in your soul
Cause you were running out the door in the pouring rain
Cause the years of being sober must've drove you insane
If the good days are over, I can still try for another one
And it's over over over cause of you
And it's over over over I love you
And I'll make the money if you give it time
I'm still here if you ever change your mind
And it's over over over cause of you
And it's over over over I love you
And I'll make the money if you give it time
I'm still here
And I can pretend that you never lied
If you ever ever ever change your mind

In The Light
Every street looks the same
Every house painted gray
In this cul-de-sac
Like a panic attack
And these cars drive by
Here them go all night
Maybe one day you'll
Leave it all behind
I know it's hard to feel alone
And be a stranger in your home
Lost out in the night
And if you feel like leaving
You don't need a reason
Just pack a bag and drive out to the ocean
And you're crying in your kitchen
What a shame you ever listened
To everybody telling you you're broken
So f*ck all you bought it ain't what you got
And be who you need and not what you're taught
You know from all this pain you cannot hide
And stand there in the light
You can say you're not alone
But you're crying on the phone
Cause he treats you like an asshole
You still got that dumb tattoo
Just staring back at you
And we both know, there ain't nothing round here to look at
You know you gotta get away
Before you're fall into your grave
And if you feel like leaving
You don't need a reason
Just pack a bag and drive out to the ocean
And you're crying in your kitchen
What a shame you ever listened
To everybody telling you you're broken
So f*ck all you bought it ain't what you got
And be who you need and not what you're taught
You know from all this pain you cannot hide
And stand there in the light
And stand there in the light
And stand there in the light
Every house painted gray
In this cul-de-sac
Like a panic attack
And these cars drive by
Here them go all night
Maybe one day you'll
Leave it all behind
I know it's hard to feel alone
And be a stranger in your home
Lost out in the night
And if you feel like leaving
You don't need a reason
Just pack a bag and drive out to the ocean
And you're crying in your kitchen
What a shame you ever listened
To everybody telling you you're broken
So f*ck all you bought it ain't what you got
And be who you need and not what you're taught
You know from all this pain you cannot hide
And stand there in the light
You can say you're not alone
But you're crying on the phone
Cause he treats you like an asshole
You still got that dumb tattoo
Just staring back at you
And we both know, there ain't nothing round here to look at
You know you gotta get away
Before you're fall into your grave
And if you feel like leaving
You don't need a reason
Just pack a bag and drive out to the ocean
And you're crying in your kitchen
What a shame you ever listened
To everybody telling you you're broken
So f*ck all you bought it ain't what you got
And be who you need and not what you're taught
You know from all this pain you cannot hide
And stand there in the light
And stand there in the light
And stand there in the light
