So just stay, what's your rush in leaving so soon?
Their is so many things I would like to say to you,
but you're always leaving.

Everyone's leaving, but i'm still here.

So just stay, what's your rush in leaving so soon?
I'll be waiting for you, like you told me to.
I've been waiting. I've been growing my hair
just for you, I'll keep waiting.

Don't keep me waiting..


Everyone's Leaving, But I'm Still Here

Our days are passing by, so what are we waiting for?
I'm calling this off, because I'm not sure anymore.

So stay if you want to stay.
I'm writing this down, I hope I have more to say.
Maybe someday. 
These things always sound better in my head.

So stay if you want to stay.
You're writing this down, so you don't forget my name.
(Don't forget my name, I'll be back someday.)

15th And Judah

I'm holding back from the phrases that I know, I should've said.
Well so, which direction home? You know we'll all sleep better
if we're sleeping alone.

Well can you keep me a secret though?
Well can you keep me a secret  I don't know?
You're all the same.

Maybe when you're done feeling sorry for yourself,
we can watch the seasons change.
The leaves are changing, our skin is changing, it's cold.
With no direction home, you know we'll all sleep better,
if we're drinking alone.

You're all the same, with the same pose.


Same Pose

The One We Keep Missing

I asked myself this question last night.
Does time really heal all wounds like they say?
Cause it seems like, I'm patiently waiting.
For a question that still left unanswered.

This late lonely night is hard to get through.
Because I'm up reminiscing of everything we once shared.
And you know I would take it back if I could.
So I make this wish, and hope that it will come.

Tonight I miss you in California.
The place where you lay, your head to rest.
Well, don't worry we'll see each other someday.
To make up for all the time we lost..

See You Someday

You said, that we would last forever.
I said, nothing last forever.
what was, was never.
I wish you would stay.
This is the part, where everything falls into place.



Alone Together

I'm not going back, to where I left my heart.
I'll leave it out on display, to collect some dust.
The weathers always changing, but I like the fall.
The moon is howling at me, so I howl back.

Will I ever see a sunrise?
From Atlantic Ocean, with a New York heart?
I need my liquid courage, I'm staring straight down,
down at this bottle, here comes the sun.
To grace me with her presence, but I've seen enough.

Now the city sleeps, I hope it sleeps well.
As I dance the streets, streetlights they lead the path.
The city buses sing, so I sing back.
Now it's time for me to go, this place can have my heart.

Now I'll never see a sunset.
from Atlantic Ocean, no New York heart.
Sun grace me with your presence.
Give me the warmth, give me the strength,
just give me the effort to collect my heart.
now it's time for me to go, because I've seen enough
and now i'm tired.
