youre gone now its over Ive felt this before pick myself off the floor now i'm back searching for more where I started from I moved back across the state things got a little bit hazy and ive been spending too much time trying to trace out in my mind how im gonna say these words to you how do we put into words what we feel in the worst ways on some days it just wont go away and I just dont sit fine with how you wasted all my time Left me back here on the east side I always saw the sunrise before you hide my secrets in the walls that surround you dont even try to hide i see right through the lies I'm so done with all these unnecessary silent nights Am i still your only one Dressed in stress for so long To keep this together Drove home for the last time Last december

I left my heart in Detroit City I'm one thousand miles away from home But Michigan will always call me Back to the place where I belong I've got these California dreams They weigh heavy on my mind And i'll stand out on this street corner Until I get my peace of mind But my great lakes Are calling me To come back home and See my family And all the forest From back home Are singing this chorus To bring me home I left my mind at home Right next to the telephone If you ever may need something Just pick up the telephone Remember it's 861 But my great lakes Are telling me To go out and be who I wanna be And all the forest From back home Are singing this chorus To cheer me on All im waiting on is a sunny day All im waiting on are these clouds to go away X3 These waves they talk to me These lakes are all that I see anymore

Another years gone by How the time just flies Ive been sitting here Drying my own tears On old pictures and letters That I found In the back of a closet That we never got around to cleaning out This pen and paper feel like my only friends Cause the ones that I had They don't care anymore Bring out the packed up memories They need to breath a little more Take all the nails out of the wall I think I'll be a little sadder this fall I miss the basement where we use to sit and talk everyday And you know I left the christmas lights up all year Cause I know you fear the dark when I'm not home I've been out there on the road It makes it harder for us both I know Haven't shaved in weeks no thats not like me Must be these empty walls Yeah they're getting to me The house on Mansfield holds a special place in my heart It's where we came together and it's where we fucking fell apart

On Your Own 02:24
Fluorescent lights shine down I wonder how we got here now
 Was it the fragile structure That holds you up And keeps you warm at night And i’ve been trying to let my issues go But it gets harder and harder with every blow 

We fall We fall We fall to pieces Pick things up And just repeat it Every lie is a little bit different Every time I get a little more distant So much to do So much to be The worlds a fucked up place Open your eyes you’ll see I don’t know all the answers Even though I claim to And that’s just me A little shallow when I need to be A little brash but I don’t care what you think 
No I don’t care what you think We fall We fall We fall to pieces Pick things up And just repeat it Every lie is a little bit different Every time I get a little more distant 

And all I know is your too close To him Tonight it feels so right Up on the roof we sing these songs
 With hopes that you will sing along Sleep on it thats what they said But this sleeps just fucking with my head You see The irony Anchors on ankles pull me down Faster than I thought I could Drown in the sound of your voice I need you now Cut ties with everything you’ve ever know It’s time to swim on your own

All Wrong 03:00
This bottle’s kinda drowning you out tonight I think it’s best if we both move along
 Pick a different night to fight

 All we do with the time we are given now 
Is talk about how it’s all wrong And how we think we don’t belong 

Everyone keeps telling me what to do 
I think it’s best if I keep doing me You should probably focus more on you 

 This shallow fractured me Too afraid to stand up tall For everyone else to see 
 What i’ve managed to be This isn’t what I need these days The good thing about life is you can’t run away 

 Oh no I did it again 
I thought I needed a friend When all I needed Was some company to get me through the week 

Not like I care anymore Just your insecurities You’ll find an open door When you move on why can’t you see 

 She said I gave you my heart 
And you just tore it apart
 And I wish you’d see from my point of view Not like you ever do And i’ll stay up all night Watch you sleep next to me Just incase this is the last time Our fingertips will ever meet Let go of what you can’t change Your life’s a reflection of decisions you’ve made Are you happy with the path you chose to take And I know it’s hard to see it now Head over heels we all fall down For better days is years to come I’ll fight this war I thought i’de won
8.
For the first time in my life i’ve had to let things go Not knowing where i’m going If you leave just leave me knowing That I still care about you And that this tattoo right here reminds me of you Sail away from the safe harbor Catch trade winds to the east 
Cause every part of me knows I should leave But thats not happening Friends I thought that were there Were just fair weather didn’t care Cause thats all that they know And it really kinda shows Drag your thoughts away from trouble It’s only bringing you down You’ll find peace in other things Thats how this world was meant to seem Don’t count too quick the days do slip away in sunny waves Lay to rest blue skies open up wide eyes So we can dive into the night And fight For like the millionth time i’ll say your right To try and end this age old war of pride and right But I think you just like to fight The grass is always greener on the other side You always dig too deep cause you don’t know whats right I’m a mess I’m a wreck and I don’t know why Take away from life What it tends to hide Let the water touch my face so I can know i’m alive Things don’t feel the same when i’m alone at night Tell me all your secrets There is no need to apologize I’m an expert at extracting all those things you can’t deny I’m a monster in my own right Slay me down before I rise Cause the fall from tall is pretty fucking far When you don’t know who you are
