I Hope I Dont Fuck This Up

the things we used to talk about
well they've all been talked about
we're tracing steps only to end up 
right where we started

i'll light a match
to burn it all down
i hope the fire takes
me as well

we've come so far
just to give up now
I at least thought
that this was real

you and i play cards to pass the time
and family dinner's spent in silence

we speak soft to save our breath
and sleep like logs on our motel bed

we've come so far
just to give up now
I at least thought		
that this was real

i'll light a match
to burn it all down
i hope the fire takes
me as well

sad songs for sad people

In which I butcher some of my favorite songs because I fucked up my fingers

I got stains on my fingers and i don’t know how long they’ll linger there
And I’ll scrub, and pray that they’ll all go away
Like everything goes away, why can’t you just stay with me today?

I got stains on my fingers and I don’t know how long they’ll linger there
Reminding me that I fucked up again and I should never dare to be
Anything that I’m not.

I got stains on my fingers and I don’t know how long they’ll linger there
And I’d rather chop ‘em off than to let you ever see them bare
Cause they all lead to the smoke, I exhale into the air

And I woke up hating myself, like I did so much yesterday
And I woke up hating myself, trying to think of anything i could say 
Oh can’t you stay, just little bit longer? I’m not sure but I’ll try to be stronger.
Oh can’t you stay, just a little while longer, I just don’t want this day to be over.

When I am sad oh I am sad, but when I’m happy I am happy and there’s just no place in between for us to be ( Flashlight - The Front Bottoms)
When you’re sad, oh god I’m sad, but when you’re happy I am happy, and there’s just no place in between for us to be
And I "steal all my lines from this guy named Brian”, (Bottom - Mccafferty) yet I stole that one from this guy named Nick
And I feel like a dick cause I can see me slowly dying

I’m not doing anything, about it. Scrub my fingers and try to hide it
I’m not doing anything, about it. Will I keep a promise? I doubt it.


Nicotine Stains

So text me when you're ready,
I'll keep it in my pocket 
I'll be checking every minute,
Whether I got a message or not
And text me when you're ready
I'll keep it in my pocket
And I'll worry every second
Whether if u got my messages

I understand that they're your friends,
And they say that true friendship never ends
But i got so far away from mine
And i lost so many to time
Now i can count them with 1 hand,
I lost far more than i had planned
Now i just spend my evenings
Thinking of you and my band
So text me when you're ready 
I'll be calm, I’ll be steady
I'll be here when you need me
I'll be here, saying
Maybe you'll be happy again
And maybe I'll be happy again

I got so much i wanna do
But i got so little time with you


So Little Time

HELP

Yeah... Timezones

On the coldest night of summer time, I wrote the words, 'will you be mine?' I couldn’t see a thing, the sky the darkest it had ever been. There was no moon, there were no stars, but I still memorized, the constellations in your eyes. The constant shaking of my voice keeps me inside, keeps me silent (coz)I hate the way I talk, so I drink and so smoke.
Til I forget, the things we said, the day we met and the way we spent, and I’ll regret, the smoke on my breath, when our lips meet. I can’t keep doing this. Now I’m in bed, quietly coughing into my pillow so you don’t wake up.
I’m sorry, if you did.

I’ll find the time, I promise this, of all the things, it's your voice I miss.
In these cold nights, where there’s no moon, I’ll look at the sky, hope I'll see you soon.
We’re running without direction, it’s useless but that’s what living feels like. 

Quietly Coughing, so you don’t wake up.
Constantly shaking, so afraid to lose you but,
Seeing you smiling, feels like the only thing my eyes are good for
Silently while walking you home, I’ll hope this road never ends I’ll hope this road never-

Quietly Coughing

LUV IS RAGE 2 COMING SOON

1.5- XO TOUR Llif3 (Produced By TM88)

i dont wanna waste my time

Let’s sing until our throats get numb and I don’t think this party is dumb,
but if I were to host it I’d pick something better than 
Listening to pop hits of last weeks that sound the same as last years
But let’s raise our glasses, to the birthday kid and say
“It’s alright, it’s okay, happy birthday”
 
Am I getting cocky? I should enjoy this fucking party
But things are looking grim, and someone just passed out in the backyard
I just want to leave and take you with me, 
If we leave early we can catch the train out of the city
“You can touch on, and touch off, with my myki
If I get a fine, that’s fine, that’s fine by/with me”

Another Party Song

Lyrics:
The way you sang along to Covered In Chrome in the back seat, such a simple thing. I realised I couldn't be alone. It's a long way to Apollo Bay. If you keep singing like this I think I might like this too much. It's a bit too much. I think too much about the songs on your playlists. What does it say? What does it mean? What should I do when you lean in?

In the ocean, there's a blue raft. Another lesson you're probably you're good at. Listen I'm dying to tell you "Oh and btw I'm getting a tattoo of a SSB line that never left my mind." Have it on my skin to remind me.

There's beers if you want them. In the back seat you can have anything you want. ;) You can have my beers. You can have my ciders. You can have my lips anywhere you like. It's a long way to Apollo Bay. We are stuck here, so we might as well play American Beauty on my laptop, but the real beauty is right outside.  (damn it how does it go?)

In  the ocean there's a blue raft. Another lesson you're probably good at. I am on it, with boots of concrete. But lately I couldn't feel my feet. Swept me off, slowly, when we sang along to McCafferty. Swept me off, slowly, when we sang along to Foley!

So I'll hold you close. As close as you're comfortable. And I'll be your seat belt so you don't end up in the hospital. 'Cause I'm not afraid to get hurt, but I am afraid to hold your hand. When you let go, and idk, where we will be tomorrow. When I wake up in the morning, will you still be lying next to me? Or will I be in a puddle next to a goddamn tree? It is freezing. I am freezing. I am freezing up when you look at me. Am I crazy? I'm going crazy. Am I lazy or something?

thanks/sorry/sure to (In order of reference): Violent Soho, Moose Blood, Apollo Bay, The Front Bottoms x2, Smith Street Band, TFB, American Beauty, McCafferty, Foley, and, of course, The Front Bottoms

Back Tops Front on Bottom (Limited Edition Demo, AUS only)- One Take (Acoustic)

I pick my battles carefully
What did you mean what you said 'sorry'
It feels like you don't want to be here
Sometimes, I don't want to be here

Say what I don't want to say. 
Drunk out of my mind
We should sleep but I am trying the best I can
To spend the time we've got left together,

So what's the point? 
When you say you're gonna be here when you're not gonna be here?
What's the point? What's the point? 
When you say you're gonna be here when you're not gonna be near me?
