I feel different When I’m around you I don't know why I feel this way When I was younger I wished I was older Now that I'm older I feel the same Why do you tell me Tell me you like me Only when it Serves you most I find redemption I find redemption I find redemption In finding myself I feel bad When you're around I don't want to talk Talk about, how I like it How I like it You tell me That I look bad That my shirt's unclean And I have bags under my eyes Under my eyes My friends they ask me Why do you like them I can't explain it It's something I need Now that I’m older Now that I’m wiser I wouldn’t let you Fuck me around I feel bad When you're around I don't want to talk Talk about, how I like it How I like it You tell me That I look bad That my shirt's unclean And I have bags under my eyes Under my eyes That's how I like it That's how I like it I like you to Tell me what to do And where to place my hands I used to never like it It used to never be like this Until you, put me here I feel bad When you're around I don't want to talk Talk about, how I like it How I like it You tell me That I look bad That my shirt's unclean And I have bags under my eyes Under my eyes That's how I like it That's how I like it That's how I like it That's how I like it

Stranger 03:44
So it seems That I left you I’m so sorry Or did you leave me first I can’t remember How you doing Did you grow up to be What you wanted As a child As a child You were my best friend Now you’re a stranger But I still want to hold your hand And I know that you Will find someone new To be yourself around I promise you Well I’m shouting I’m shouting out loud Well I’m shouting I’m shouting out loud Are you happy, are you happy now Well I’m trying to be happy, too I’m so sorry That I walked out When you raised your voice I felt your pain How you doing Did you move overseas Like you wanted, to do with me Well I’m shouting I’m shouting out loud Well I’m shouting I’m shouting out loud Are you happy, are you happy now Well I’m trying to be happy, too

Keep Walking 03:22
You’ve been distant Since I came back Even though I saw it coming I feel so afraid of what I'll do or what I'll say And I feel so ashamed of everything Everything, everything, everything Everything, everything, everything Keep walking away Keep walking oooooh Keep walking away Keep walking oooooh How do you feel and Why do you hide it How do you sleep well at night What was so bad that You couldn't tell me Or call me back that night Keep walking away Keep walking oooooh Keep walking away Keep walking oooooh I was alone and I was afraid Keep walking away Keep walking oooooh All I know is all my damn life I've always felt so strange Even though I knew I was right It's always felt the same Heartbeat, fist clenched, eye roll, reflex Don't you feel strange Foot down, knee locked, high waist, arms crossed Don't you feel strange Don't you feel strange Don't you feel strange Keep walking away Keep walking oooooh Keep walking away Keep walking oooooh I was alone and I was afraid Keep walking away Keep walking oooooh

Space 04:31
Space between our two streets Never feels like enough to me Neither did two states away Nor beach house to my house to your house Why doesn’t the bus ever come It’s never there when you need it the most I count my blessings but I don’t count enough It’s killing me, you’re killing me, you’re killing me I hold my arms out as I call out for you I never hold space for anyone else I hold my arms out as I call out for you I never hold space for myself I watch my back as I sleep alone I’m sure that someone’s out to get me Maybe it’s you or Maybe it’s me Maybe it’s everyone I’ve ever known I hold my arms out as I call out for you I never hold space for anyone else I hold my arms out as I call out for you I never hold space for myself And I hold out And I hold myself accountable And I hold out It’s killing, you’re killing me, you’re killing me It’s killing, you’re killing me, you’re killing me I hold my arms out as I call out for you I never hold space for anyone else I hold my arms out as I call out for you I never hold space for myself I hold my arms out as I call out for you I never hold space for anyone else I hold my arms out as I call out for you I never hold space for myself

I Don't Care 05:05
You’re so well-read So hard to read You’re an artist, a good one, someone with a dream I don’t care You say you have baggage But hey so do we So does everyone else, including me I don't care And I want to feel the way that I felt When I'm loved by my friends and those I care about I’m not chasing a feeling that I don’t know well Without hesitation, I’m really too old for this But I feel, so young And you're wasting my time You called me when you had felt You wanted to explain yourself I don’t care You spoke too soon And you assumed, I wanted it I hadn't even touched you yet And I want to feel the way that I felt When I'm loved by my friends and those I care about I’m not chasing a feeling that I don’t know well Without hesitation, I’m really too old for this But I feel, so young And you're wasting my time Well I know I'm special You don't have to tell me I know I'm special You don't have to tell me You’re so well-read So hard to read You’re an artist, a good one, someone with a dream I don’t care

Inside 04:23
Have you ever felt inside Those places where we Can hide Well it might be your house In the snow where I can go, where I can see Or it might be your house by the sea Well I know that you’ll find Those places you wanted to go And you’re pulling my teeth As your arms they are wrapped around me Have you ever spoke to god Or told him those things You wanted Well they may or may not Come true if all goes right If all goes wrong He won’t be there to help you along And I know that you’ll find Those places you wanted to go And you’re pulling my teeth As your arms they are wrapped around me Around me Around me Around me Around me Around me Around me Around me Around me

Hold On 04:10
Hold her hand She’s someone to live for Distance wise, she’s someone to fly for Into her arms, you’ll never be alone Chances are You’re both afraid of What could be or how it would seem Besides the fear, nothing is static Are you here Are you here Are you waiting for the moment to arrive Open up into the distance Never come closer than arm's-length After all, people don’t want you to Are you here Are you here Are you waiting for the moment to arrive I was wondering Past your house And I saw you there I don’t know how I was wondering Past your house And I saw you there I don’t know how How How Are you here Are you here Are you waiting for the moment to arrive

Party 05:45
My skin is crawling As I wait for your call in The empty back room At your house, where I stay I stay up late night Until it turns daylight Somewhere or someplace Across the bay And I feel like It’s so hard to say goodbye You’ll never call me again And I feel like It’s so hard to be alive My mother worries She worries about me And half a pill later I’m feeling much better The trigger, no warning Is how it comes about But I still want to be The last at the party with you With you Distance between my cries Tells me I’m alive I’m not rock bottom Yet And I feel like It’s so hard to say goodbye My mother worries, she worries about me And half a pill later I’m feeling much better The trigger, no warning Is how it comes about But I still want to be The last at the party with you With you And half a pill later I’m feeling much better The trigger, no warning Is how it comes about But I still want to be The last at the party with you With you

I remember driving back From Christchurch south We stopped short, roadside bed Pillow headrest The next day I would find out Where it is I stand Fox Glacier service station Take me home, I said I remember all those mountains Caving in I sat there lakeside, lonely I was thin And I feel Slightly gaslit, but I know It's not real Or it's all in my head Everything is fine If you want it to be Everything is fine If you want it to be To be To be I remember airport carpet Cradle me I lie there glass-eyed, lonely But I could see How it feels to be by yourself I was smiling when I told myself Everything is fine If you want it to be Everything is fine If you want it to be To be To be To be To be Everything is fine Everything is fine Everything is fine Everything is fine Everything is fine Everything is fine Everything is fine If you want it to be To be

Good 04:59
Maybe I am who I thought I would be Maybe I’m just not that good Maybe I am who I wanted to be Maybe I’m just not that good Well I feel like the ending is near And I know everything will be alright Alright Maybe I am who you want me to be Maybe I’m just not that good Maybe you are who I thought I would be Maybe I’m just not that good Well I feel like the ending is near And I know everything will be alright Alright Maybe I am Who I thought I would be Or maybe it’s just not that bad Maybe I am Who you thought I could be Or maybe it’s not that bad And I feel like the ending is near And I know everything will be alright Alright
