when it all turns to dust,
will you know the melody
to your internal song?

YOU.

Don’t need no satisfaction
It wastes my time
Don’t need no hard reaction
love being that I’m prude
 
I have my books to read and
My teachers to please
Who needs romance when
I have all of these?
But I’m still alone
I am still alone
 
Who needs romance when I walk
Out the car to my room?
My pants are soggy but who cares
I had fun with you
 
But I’m still alone
But I am still alone
 
And who needs to love when it always ends so brutally?
And who needs to waste their time kissing? Oh no not me
 
And who needs to love
When it’s just as easy to think about?
Or go to the movies and pretend
That your life is just complete
 
But no you are still alone

I am still alone

Still Alone

I’m having trouble
sitting around
I can’t stop thinking bout you

I tell anyone who’s 
willing to hear
there’s someone I’ve been talking to

You make me feel like
I might actually be human
Thought I’d never taste the fruit

had some pretty bad falls
so I built my wall real tall
kept telling myself what’s the use?

Now I wait for your call
I can’t sleep at all
I want you here by my side

Got lightning in my spine
Every time
I see another reply

It’s a little too easy
All you do is delight me
I’m not used to the attention

I'm so sick of watching
My friends fall in and out of love
Maybe I’ll feel it for once

Haven’t even known you that long
And I’m already falling
Even though I probably should not

Haven’t even known you that long
And I’m already falling
Even though I probably should not

I’m having trouble
Calming myself down
I’m bored of waiting to see you

It’s hard to ignore you
Can’t let it go
A feeling I don’t want to lose

Longing to know you
More than I know you
but I don’t wanna ask too many questions

You’re miles away
And your making my day
Can’t wait to kiss you again

Haven’t even known you that long
And I’m already falling
Even though I probably should not

Haven’t even known you that long
And I’m already falling
Even though I probably should not

Trouble

FOR STARTERS

loosely

It’s like I was born yesterday
Must have been born yesterday
Cus I didn't know and I'd never seen
Couldn’t understand what I do now
You’ve put me on to a different thing
I'm experiencing something new 
Now my
Eyes are opened
Heart broken
And I can’t help but shed a tear
For my innocence is gone
My blissful ignorance is gone
Now I'm flooded with emotions
Going through the motions
I need help
Drowning in fear
I need deliverance oh god
Growing up is different than I thought

It’s like I was born yesterday
Must have been born yesterday
Cus I didn't know and I'd never seen
Couldn’t understand what I do now
You put me on to a different thing
Im experiencing something new
Now I
Can never go back too 
Who I was
But the old me is the only me
Im used to
How do I move on
How do I cope
How do you   
How does anyone hold on to hope
In this cold dark world
Where can i go 
In the cold dark world
Is there anyone who knows 
In this whole darn world
thought I knew everything
Till this world took everything
Left me naked as a babe

I was born yesterday
Yes I was born yesterday
I didn’t know
What I didn’t know
And I didn’t know it then
I didn’t know
What I didn’t know
And I didn’t know it then

Born Yesterday

stay with it
you don’t need to water it down
no one else has the same story

stay with it please
stay with it please
you can take all the time that you need

I know that you worry
what if nobody cares?
and you're sorry
you had a big enough head to

stay with it
stay with it please
stay with it
stay with it

something is broken
so fucked it’s not hard to feel hopeless
I see you sleeping while the sun’s out
anything to distract you from your doubts

bro

I’m not here to tell you to get up
I know you have had it rough
I don’t know anybody more tough

I’m here to remind you
of the image you drew of yourself when you believed nobody could stop you
he’s still there
But you choose to look away
I think you’re scared of your own greatness
can’t you see it?
can’t you see it?

I know that you worry
what if nobody cares?
and you're sorry
you had a big enough head to

stay with it
stay with it please
stay with it
stay with it

I know the pain of running a race in the wrong direction
I know the pain of a long and slow bitter break
I know how it feels to have nobody when you can’t stand up for yourself
I know how it feels to push your problems into a box 
and place it on a shelf
it’s time to realize that you have exactly what you need
its deep down inside behind the lies you tell yourself to get by
I’m only here to remind you
of who you actually are

Stay With It
