We were sixteen 
Your eyes were lighting up my backseat 
Made me park the car down the street
So, no one would know  

Didn’t have a clue then 
To be honest I preferred when   
There weren’t any options 
And nowhere to go

But then I think about us 
And what we could’ve been  
The thing about trust, is you don’t get it back when you’ve lost it 
And you lost it 
When we were sixteen 

We were sixteen  
Getting high and feeling empty   
Stuck inside a bad dream 
You took my hand 

And I swore we’d leave this town 
But you didn’t stick around 
Could try again but I don’t know how 
You changed my plans         
 
But still I think about us 
And what we could’ve been  
The thing about trust, is you don’t get it back when you’ve lost it 
And you lost it 
When we were sixteen 

We laid down 
Under a June sky 
And made no sound 
So, we could hear the city breathing    
And you were everything to me when
We were sixteen

Sixteen (Demo)

If you truly knew me 
If you truly knew me 
If you truly knew me 
If you truly knew me

(melancholy music plays)

I’m sure you hear this all the time 
I’m a victim of my own mind 
And I haven’t got a clue what we’ll find 
But I’m willing to try 

So yes it’s true, I’ve been a little blue 
As you do, when it seems 
The world you thought you knew 
Got up and left you behind 

As for the ground rules
I’ve got a few 
The words we say stay in this room 
And these walls don’t speak 
But if they do
Here’s some pills to fix that, too

And I suppose, I spend a little time on my own  
Though I’ve yet to feel alone  
Why do you need somebody around to tell you something you already know?  

Sorry that, came out wrong, too strong  
And probably conceited to say 
Another primary example of my ego getting in the way 

Now this is progress, it must be 
I’m more like you and less like me 
But i’m, merely looking to get through 
Are there some pills which do that, too?

I’m being honest, I swear I’ve told you just about all I can 
I don’t expect you to comprehend something that, I myself, can’t understand  
 
I guess we’re, all just searching for answers 
To abate all our fears 
But if you dig too deep, that’s when the magic disappears 

Your grinning like an optimist  
Mine is much more realistic but   
After all, it’s point of view
So, let’s medically change that, too

Pills (Demo)

What do you need to say?
Spit it out 
Oh, you were longing for a change 
Here I am sneaking in your house 

Watching your mouth 
You're making no sound 
I'm sick of waiting you out 
Why don't you show me why I stick around

She's got a clean bed and a dirty little head, yeah 
Some soft skin 
The kind that makes you say
I don't know when but i'll see you again 
She'll smile as you bleed 
Still, you need her like caffeine 

Your hair is so uptight 
Let it down 
And I know you get your kicks from 
Pushing me into the ground   

Watching your mouth 
You're making no sound 
I'm sick of waiting you out 
Why don't you show me why I stick around

She's got a clean bed and a dirty little head, yeah 
Some soft skin 
The kind that makes you say
I don't know when but i'll see you again 
She'll smile as you bleed 
Still. you need her like caffeine  

(Need her like caffeine)
(Need her like caffeine)

Caffeine - Single

Losing my mind again
Losing my mind again

losing my mind

All you'll ever be is just waiting like a dream out there
Listen to it breathing 
(You can almost see it, so why don't you reach it)

So go, run, you're moving too slow 
There's only so munch time and so far to go 
Don't let it change you 
Know who you can turn to
Keep your head for the thoughts and your heart for the memories

the dream

i suppose it's relative

Shake off my shoes 
This momentary blues 
Got me feeling rather empty

No, I don’t like you 
But what’s that gotta do with
Being naked in the backseat
(Let me explain it again so you get it)

Oh no baby
You don’t need to persuade me 
I don’t hear a word of what you say say say 
Honestly, you bore me 
But you say you adore me 
So, I won’t be opposed if you stay stay stay 

You’re reciting words like you’re reading from a scripture 
Think I found my cue to go 
The fact that you think you can change me 
And that Jesus could save me 
Shows just how little you know 
(I appreciate the sentiment but let it go)

Chorus

(And I’m starting to believe it now)
