happy new year
who are you now?
do you think we’re gonna find out?
cause i’ve been asking,
it’s a small town
20 something—
time to count down
it’s a nice thought, reinvention
but i don’t think you know how
you don’t have the disposition
you’re settled in, broken down
don’t want to see yourself in 2019
just a stranger staring back from the screen
explain her away, “oh what can i say,
there have been so many lives before me”
don’t look back now, could you face it?
everything you wrote in the sand?
hoping time would just erase it —
did it work the way you planned?
now the memory’s changing color
it’s almost lost its hue
black and white films feel much smaller
were they really people too?
don’t want to see yourself in 2015
just a stranger staring back from the screen
explain her away, “oh what can i say,
there have been so many lives before me”
they say you’re not developed till you turn 25
remember when those thoughts enveloped you?
and you took new emotions on a tentative test-drive
nervous and unbuckled in the rearview?
expect the crash now, hold it in
pick the glass beneath your skin
watch a movie, escape it all
you won’t answer when she calls
don’t want to see yourself in 2013...

I can’t do what I love unless it’s perfect
I’m not putting in the work but I deserve it
Thought I found myself but I’m just further away
It’s only ever in me to get through the day
Cuz I spend my waking hours at a desk
I’m thankful for the money, but my brain’s a fucking mess
And I can’t seem to quiet the humming in my chest
That says “I thought you were gonna be better”
Everyone I know seems like they’ve got it figured out
Having kids or starting jobs that they really care about
I don’t think I’m jealous but I’m starting to doubt
Cuz I thought I was gonna be better
Oh, give me a reason to grow
Stretch my arms toward the sun
Oh, please say it’s okay to go
Pick a direction and run
Maybe there’s a world where I can settle
On a quiet little street where neighbors meddle
I’ll pay off a mortgage instead of monthly rent
Say goodbye to city blocks and one bedroom apartments
And maybe I’ll be happy in a small town
Get away from all the sirens, take my dog, hunker down
A choir of cicadas drowning out the sound
of the thought that I could ever be better
Everything I am seems to hinge on who I’ve been
Always looking back instead of looking to begin
I’m too afraid to wonder, would it be a sin
If I found a way back to better
Cuz I can’t say that I’m happy, I don’t think I am
The castle built around me is crumbling like sand
Slowly as the water reaches highest tide
Never built to last, but pretty for a time
Oh, give me a reason to grow
Stretch my arms toward the sun
Oh, please say it’s okay to go
Pick a direction and run

Betty and James (both girls) are classmates and friends. They start developing feelings for one another, and James wants to make their relationship more official, but in the middle of it all, rumors start going around school that James is gay. Betty freaks out and distances herself from James because she’s not ready to come out yet, and solidifies her distance from James by dancing with a boy at their school dance. Over the summer, James tries to get over Betty by dating a different girl, and Betty comes to terms with her own sexuality and is finally ready for a relationship with James — so she invites her to her party and they finally both officially come out by kissing in front of all their friends. And they lived happily ever after. The end.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I know you’re prob’ly assuming that
I switched out of your homeroom ‘cuz
of what I heard them say
Bet you thought I couldn’t see you
on your skateboard
when you passed my house
Fear got in the way
[Pre-Chorus]
I heard the rumors circulate
But I knew they were full of hate
Even if technically true
The worst thing that I ever did
Was hide the truth from you
[Chorus]
So if you showed up at my party
Would you have me? Would you want me?
Would you tell me to go fuck myself
Or could I lead you to the garden?
In the garden, would you trust me
If I told you that you’re where I wanna be
Don’t care if people see, I don’t know anything
But I know I miss you
[Verse 2]
I remember where it all went wrong
My favorite song was playing, and
A boy asked me to dance
You were nowhere to be found
You hate the crowds, I know that
I thought it was my chance
[Pre-Chorus]
I always did what I was told
Had an appearance to uphold
Thought that was what I had to do
The worst thing that I ever did
Was hide the truth from you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And I never once expected you to wait
For me to call you, still, I couldn’t help
But hope you would come back to me, so
Give me one more chance to show
That if I could I’d dance
With you and that, oh,
I dreamt of you all summer long
[Verse 3]
Got the nerve to send an invite
And I planned it out for weeks now
So I really hope you show
Maybe I misread all the signs
And you never wanted me but then
At least I’ll finally know
[Pre-Chorus]
The only thing I wanna do
At last, is tell the truth
And you showed up at my party
Yeah, you showed up at my party
[Chorus]
Yeah, you showed up at my party
And you held me, and you loved me
And we kissed right on the porch
In front of all my stupid friends
When you kissed me, it was just like I had dreamed it
Finally felt like I could soar
Not broken anymore, never felt so sure
I know I missed you
[Outro]
Borrowing my cardigan
Kissin’ in your car again
Stopped at a streetlight
I said I love you

LYRICS:
V.1
Thrift store happiness, an almost fit
But there's an itch underneath it all
For something other than
Off-brand hands to hold
But there are no returns
Though you're not sold,
You'll stick around till you wear down
Pre-C
But look,
You're kinda threadbare too
Masquerading as brand new
Maybe we're all gently used
Of course,
When everything is on display
You reinforce that you're okay
Sew patches over all your stains
C.
And roll up what hangs on your sleeve
Protect it while it's still pristine
It's trendy to be torn apart
But you can't barter with a battered heart
V.2
Secondhand joy, you find a boy
Hidden in a stack of faded jeans
And stand there staring a moment too long
In swoops a bolder soul, and he's gone
So you move on
[repeat pre-C, Cx2)

Staring out my window at the sky
Sunset clouds make everything alright
For now, but soon I'll crash down
Won't be long till I'm six feet underground
Mixed metaphors running through my head
Highways and lemonade, I think I've been misled
In believing life and love are easy
That box of chocolates is just a tease, cause
I have bruises on my heart that I made
My excuses underwhelm and overplay
And that's why I refuse to let anything begin
I get burned every time, every time I start again
The world seems to be in on a big, dumb secret
Give me some trust, I can keep it
But I won't overestimate what the world will do
I know I'll never be able to love you, cause
I have bruises on my heart that I made
My excuses underwhelm and overplay
And that's why I refuse to let anything begin
I get burned every time, every time I start again
It's not other people, it's me
I think I can finally see
It's not other people, it's me
That's just how it's gotta be, when
I have bruises on my heart that I made
My excuses underwhelm and overplay
And that's why I refuse to let anything begin
I get burned every time, every time I start again

LYRICS
Hey baby, you're not a baby anymore
That's for sure, I think I blinked
Dishes in the sink pile high
And you've probably learned to load them
Shouldn't be surprised you've turned into someone real
We're almost the same but you're wiser, bolder
Cause I'm older you've learned from my mistakes
Fine by me, I'll pave the way
Struggle through the hurt and pain
Somewhere down the line you'll have
A road where you can skate
But if you still need music to help you fall asleep
I can play a birthday lullaby
I'll sit on the floor, just like we did before
We'll ignore the earth and sun spinning by
Hey baby, it's strange to say that one day
You will call me up on your phone
And we'll talk bout grown-up stuff with grown-up voices
You'll tell me bout the choices you've made all on your own
I know things are complicated, you're frustrated
But hey, you're still a kid
And there's so much time to grow into
The distance between me and you
8 years isn't long when your life is through, so
If you still need music to help you fall asleep
I can play a birthday lullaby
I'll sit on the floor, just like we did before
We'll ignore the earth and sun spinning by
We'll ignore the earth and sun spinning by
We'll ignore the earth and sun spinning by
Here's a song my cousin and I wrote on the swings when we were little:
Push me, push me, push me high
Push me till I touch the sky
Push me, push me, push me high
Someday I'll have to say goodbye

LYRICS
F - C
I’ve been flipping through my history books
Ones with pastel pages
The further back the timestamps go
The harder knowing my age is
F - C
I’m suddenly alone without a single clue
Where in hell to go or what to do
One thing I know to be absolutely true
There’s room in my cracked armor for you
Am-G-C (x2), Am-G-F-C, Am-G-C
The girl with the ladybug backpack
Bouncing to school on her own
Too many lasts cloud her forecast
How do you face the world fully grown
I’ve been drinking too much roll with the punch
Must’ve been spiked cause now I’m tipsy
Soon I’ll be drunk on missing every shot
Sipping fear more potent than whisky
I’m 21 and the only thing that means is
I’m still not allowed to rent a car
Don’t worry mother, I won’t go to extremes
I don’t plan on drowning sorrows in a bar
I just want my ladybug backpack
Bouncing to school on my own
Too many lasts disrupting my past
How do you face the world fully grown
F - C (x3), F - G
Oh, where’s that girl I used to know
Did she push her little swing too high
Did she learn to touch the sky
Did she finally say goodbye
Am-G-C (x2), Am-G-F-C, Am-G-C
Where is that ladybug backpack
As I stumble through life on my own
Too many lasts, I can’t help but ask
How do you face the world fully grown
How do you face the world fully grown
How can I face the world fully grown

LYRICS
V.1
I got a new guitar so I guess I should use it
It’s smooth beneath my skin
A sharp contrast from my calloused fingers
But even they are starting to wear thin
C.
‘Cause I’ve forgotten how to write
Every word in my head never sees the light
They roll around in my brain
Until I finally say “fine, stay”
V.2
I reminisce on the time my thoughts flowed freely
A moment rendered rare
What’s usually a major key is suddenly a minor
I have homemade inspiration but I’m longing for designer
I won’t leave my chair until there’re letters on this page
And a different energy is in the air
[repeat chorus]
B.
Fine, stay, cause I’ve got all day
Seems like you’ve found your refuge anyway
Hidden from my eyes and my lips and my heart
All that's left to do is restart and restart and restart
Fine, stay [ad infinitum]
‘Cause I’ve forgotten how to write
Every word in my head never sees the light
They roll around in my brain
Until I finally say [x3]
Fine, stay.

LYRICS
What will you say on your dying day
What will you do when your heart doesn’t pull through
There will come a moment when your life’s before your eyes
Will it underwhelm you or take you by surprise
Will you have done the things that you always said you would
Will everyone say it’s such a shame you were misunderstood
How many lessons will sit collecting dust
Never used before you turned to rust
What will you say on your dying day
What will you do when your heart doesn’t pull through
Will you succumb to cancer that’s not even your own
Will the weight of the world hit like a falling stone
Or will you be paralyzed by what you never did
Shifting blame to ease the pain of lives you failed to live
The cliche is it happens in a blink
You probably won’t even have time to think
What will you say on your dying day
What will you do when your heart doesn’t pull through
It’s possible your story won’t end well
Will you at least have a story to tell
What will you say on your dying day

LYRICS
V.1
I should be sleeping, my eyes should be closed
I should be sleeping, oh, heaven knows
I could use a few more hours, hell, I could use ten
But the second I start to go, my thoughts swirl and echo
I reach for a pen and I'm awake again
C.
I've found the moment when you wonder if it's worth it
You sweat and you toil and you try
When you should be saying goodbye
As memories grow faded, is anything sacred?
V.2
I should be running, my feet should leave the ground
I should be running, and still, without a sound
Complacency sneaks up and I never want to move
After awhile, it's all been reconciled
And I've abandoned my tennis shoes
[ repeat chorus ]
B.
I should be crying, my eyes are dry
I should be learning, I'm just getting by
I should be changing, maybe I do
If not for the better, at least for you
If not for the better, at least for you
C.2
I've found the moment when you know for sure it's worth it
You sweat and you toil and you try
And it always ends in goodbye
But memories aren't wasted, they're sacred

LYRICS
V.1
I'll tell you a story about a little girl
Who wanted to go out and conquer the world
But the world was more scary than she had once thought
With villains determined to thicken the plot
C.
But she was the hero, she knew she'd last
Through every turn of the page and drip of the hourglass
Oh, and she grows
V.2
When real life hit hard, she turned to books
Where the greatest dangers were pirates with hooks
But she found herself trapped in the mermaid lagoon
Friends turned to sirens with deadly perfume
C.
But she was the hero, she knew she'd last
Through every turn of the page and drip of the hourglass
Oh, and she grows
B.
But growing up is hard when you don't know when you'll stop
She looked up at the stars and wished with every drop
V.3
In time she discovered there is a way
To survive in the world with a heart full of play
Cause it's not as scary as she had once thought
Even though villains can thicken the plot
They are just people who sadly forget
Their inner child hasn't disappeared yet
C.2
Oh, and I grow
I'm no hero, but I think I'll last
Through every turn of the page and drip of the hourglass
Not to be confused with the popular All Time Low song of the same title.

LYRICS
V.1
You walk through the paces of your life
Like the ground below isn't there
Teach me to be weightless
Because I can't stop tripping on the air
My feet slice through like a knife
Why isn't confidence contagious
PC.1
So what, I used to freefall, now I only stumble
It's hard to find perspective when it's easy to stay humble
C.
I carry my world in a backpack
I retreat when it all gets too heavy
My spine bends and breaks but I'll do what it takes
To appear sure footed and steady
V.2
I realized I've never known at all
What people see in me
I've tricked myself in thinking
That everyone is anxious to believe
I walk and then I crawl
That they laugh when I am sinking
PC.2
But people have their own dreams they're caught up in chasing
My faults are overwritten while their own paths they're retracing
[repeat chorus]
B.
And maybe I'll never tell you exactly what's on my mind
But who knows if it's all for the better if you give it time
I'm awful at taking chances cause what if they go wrong?
The answer is right where I'm staring, it's been here all along
C.2
I'd never go back on a promise
So here's a new one I am making
Every time I find a break in my stride
I will let go of burdens I've glued to my side
Dismantle the shell where I'm trying to hide
Be real where before I was faking
You walk through the paces of your life
Like the ground below isn't there

LYRICS
V.1
As a kid I was told I should be a lawyer
Cause I like to argue, but that's beside the point
We're expected to find some fancy employer
And I'd never aim to disappoint
But awhile back I told myself
I should listen to my heart
And write songs based on my bookshelf
Then I felt something wonderful start
C.
Oh, now I know how it feels to be
Part of something bigger than me
Part of something bigger than me
V.2
So whether you go to Disney every day
Or binge watch Doctor Who
Maybe Harry Potter makes your cares go away
Or you make Star Wars videos for YouTube
Just dive in feet first with all of your might
And let go of your reservations
Seat belts on, enjoy the flight
You're in for a wild vacation
[repeat chorus]
B.
Bigger than me, bigger than me, bigger than me (x3)
[repeat chorus]

V. 1
You could tell me to my face that you love me
I still wouldn’t believe you
I’m in the habit of assuming the worst
So you love me, where’s the joke, what’s the twist
Am I missing something here?
It’s not that I think I’m unworthy of love
It’s probably something I fear, but
P.C.
Ignorance is bliss I guess (x3)
Loneliness is bliss I guess
C.
They say it all happens in good time
But what time will that be
Cause the clock is ticking
Counting down the hours I spend
With no will to be bold
And I’m scared of getting old
V. 2
Every line in my planner is full, I’m too busy
To schedule in a person, how could I?
When the accidental walls I’ve built are concrete
It’s routine to keep everyone out
And it’s hard to find someone willing enough
To tear these walls down, but
repeat pre-chorus + chorus
B.
True, I’ve never settled, but I’ve never had the chance
It’s easy to look strong when you run from any romance
I need to run, and fall, and hide, can’t let any of it show
Maybe love is something I’m never gonna know, but
repeat pre-chorus + chorus

Someone just came in the door
E - A
Like no one I ever saw before
E - A, E - A
I feel..... I feel
E - A
I don't know where you came from
E - A
I wish I did, I feel so dumb
G#m, C#m
I feel...
A - E
Your swagger and your bearing
G#m - C#m
And the just right clothes you're wearing
A - E
Your short hair and your dungarees
A
And your lace-up boots
G - D, G - D
And your keys, oh, your ring of keys
E - A
E - A
I thought it was supposed to be wrong
E - A
But you seem okay with being strong
E - A, E - A
I want..... you're so...
E - A
It's probably conceited to say
E - A
But I think we're alike in a certain way
G#m, C#m
I... um...
Your swagger and your bearing
And the just right clothes you're wearing
Your short hair and your dungarees
And your lace-up boots
And your keys, oh, your ring of keys

A - B - E
Do you feel my heart saying hi?
A - B
In this whole luncheonette,
E
Why am I the only one
C#m
Who sees you're beautiful?
D
No, I mean... handsome
E
Your swagger and your bearing
And the just right clothes you're wearing
Your short hair and your dungarees
And your lace-up boots
And your keys, oh, your ring of keys
E - A, E - A
I know you.... I know you
A - E
I know you
