Lyrics
“What Do Marty McFly Nostradamus And I Have In Common?”
i spent four long years, counting down seconds till “there” would be “here”
and I’ve been starring down my fears. of being left behind, being told that I
might be better off alone. do you think we’ll be better off alone?
you’d think that this might be easier by the second time around
by the second time I’m bound to feel a certain sense of familiarity
wouldn’t you think? wouldn’t you think??
stop holding your breath, my friends all say
you need to figure out a way to let yourself down easy,
for once in your life…
well i remember being good at looking to the future
but I’m always burying my heart in places apart
from where I lay my head…
one of these days I’m gonna show everyone i know that I’ve got
a purpose outside of my down and out state of mind,
i won’t waste myself this time, i won’t let you leave me behind,
im a wreck but on my life you can bet one day that you’ll see my name in lights…
stop holding your breath, my friends all say
you need to figure out a way to let yourself down easy,
for once in your life…
well i remember being good at looking to the future
but I’m always burying my heart in places apart
from where I lay my head…
“Last Chopper Out Of Saigon”
tell me what it was you think you missed the most,
was it the city lights reflecting off the coast?
or my self destructive style?
you could hear me sing for miles and miles and miles,
about the hand that i was dealt being so unfair
oh my god just to think id be caught at square one once again,
and i know how that sounds
but i swear to god that ill be coming back around again…
i think im almost fine, for the first time in a long time
im finding out why none of this made sense when i was on my back
i started picking up the slack that i let float away over the past 365 days…
we were spending late nights on the phone,
after months without a single call back home
and for a second i thought you were making me ok
but then i took a step back and remembered all the wasted days.
maybe everyone’s right, maybe i spent too much time
collapsing in on myself
i think im done collapsing in on myself
i think im almost fine, for the first time in a long time
im finding out why none of this made sense when i was on my back
i started picking up the slack that i let float away over the past 365 days…
i’ll take a step out of my mind
draw open the blinds, let the world back in… once again
cause i spent a summer making promises that i never planned to keep
i spent the spring before in bed wanting nothing more than to stay asleep
she said “just settle down a little, settle down kid…
settle down a little, just settle down…”
alright, i’ll settle down a little, i’ll turn my shit around…
i’ll settle down a little, i’ll turn my shit around…
i think im almost fine, for the first time in a long time
im finding out why none of this made sense when i was on my back
i started picking up the slack that i let float away over the past 365 days…
“This Is Rebirth”
i fell in love with a feeling of connection when i was young
we had hearts on fire, and voices like pyres in the dark
and i found out… ill never feel at home while i’ve got this aching in my bones
my eyes are dying for something new to see,
my body’s getting tired of being me
you’ll never be in love like you were
the first time you heard the first lines of your favorite song
and i’ve never been in love like i was
on those late nights and long drives that we spent growing up
on the run…
i’m just a kid who spends too much time
dreaming of a different kind of life
on the road, as years go by it’s all i really know
because nothings how i want it, but i don’t know what i want
i know sometimes i seem defeated, but i swear to god im not
well maybe i can’t make you understand the way i feel
but we’ll give this another shot, this is all ive got
you’ll never be in love like you were
the first time you heard the first lines of your favorite song
and i’ve never been in love like i was
on those late nights and long drives that we spent growing up
on the run…
there’s music in my chest and its moving up my neck
it’s clawing its way through my throat
oh and when it hits my mouth i’m scared
that things that come out will
shake the whole world, till i am left here alone
you’ll never be in love like you were
the first time you heard the first lines of your favorite song
and i’ve never been in love like i was
on those late nights and long drives that we spent growing up
on the run…
