Hi

I wanna find a way to live
Without just coming back to this
I wanna come into something
I wound up becoming nothing
I wanna find my way on through
Without just coming back to you
I’m filling up the bucket slow
I take it down below, below
I followed all the rules you made
Without a focus on the way
You broke the rigid structure that
You set up so I’d fail but that’s not right
I’m not alright
I saw the light
I just said hi
I wanna find another new
Dissolvant then I think I’m through
I wanna fall into the lake
And not be found before it drains
I wanna stand out in the rain
Before it never rains again
I wanna find a new way to
Become what air I was for you
Before you said that’s not enough
And took me down from up above
You broke the rules you wrote yourself
I failed and now moved on but that's not right
I’ll be alright
I saw the light
I just said hi

Dark

You came in from the dark and then turned off the light
Without it I can’t see but my eyes were closed it’s fine
I’ve been having trouble sleeping I see my friends at night
I’ve been having trouble keeping track of borrowed time
But it’s alright
It’s fine with me if you disagree
But it’s alright
It’s fine with me if it makes you happy
I’ve been turning in early I’m trying to pass the time
I’ve been staring at the sky so long the sunspots hurt my eyes
Was looking for a message but the clouds just made me cry
I felt your shape in the dark my darling and I’m trying to compromise
But it’s alright
It’s fine with me if you disagree
But it’s alright
It’s fine with me if it makes you happy
I’ve been turning over empty at the sight of you like half the time
And I’ve been turning for so long now the seasons all rewind
Was looking for a message but I still covered my eyes
I felt the light through my lids shut tight as it peeked around the blinds
But it’s alright
It’s fine with me if you disagree
But it’s alright
It’s fine with me if it makes you happy

Can't Wait

I can’t wait for it to falter
My wonderment for what I can’t know at all
I can’t wait for it all to fall
I don’t know if i can even it all
I can’t wait for the cloud to sway
Away from me but I guess I’ll stay
I can’t wait for sunnier days
Before I make what I want to anyway
I can’t wait for you to see it
It’s crystalling in my vision, and it’s
Coming fast, oh, I’m banking
On a way, oh, just to make it last
I can’t wait for October
We’ll walk through leaves, and we’ll spin in circles
Just like when we were kids
Just like when we knew how to really live
