i swear that this year the seasons got reversed
because it was a june night when the fall arrived
and i heard that you’d died
to not see you every day
it wasn’t all that bad
but knowing that i’ll never see your face again
it’s tearing me apart
so why does this hurt so much?
now i know you’re gone
and we gotta keep moving on
you only get one chance to fake this
i’ll do it for my long-lost acquaintance
now i’ll try to make this count

did you know
when you left
all the things
you’ll never get to see
would you regret
that you left
if you knew
you would’ve met the one
you told me don’t be a stranger
i should have asked you a favor
but i didn’t know how to say this
just stay.
i know one day this all will fade away
so please stay
for just another day
now you’re gone
and i guess
you won’t see
his first steps
(you left me)
family cries
and friends are lost
your pain is gone
but what did it cost
(to be free)
you told me don’t be a stranger
i should have asked you a favor
but i didn’t know how to say this
just stay.
i know one day this all will fade
stay.
so please stay.
this all will fade away.
stay...
to watch the sun rise.
i could see it in your eyes;
i watched your sun set.
and i know you were upset,
i just wish that you had stayed.

these are all the things i never said
they're weighing me down and stuck in my head
i don't think they're ever coming out
of all the things i ever said
i never said the words i fucking meant
and now they're never coming out
and when i try to sleep i lay in bed
going over all the things i wish i'd said
instead
say something memorable
or anything at all:
use your words
i had a spark inside
but times moves by so quickly
hold a flame to my life
and douse the fires with whiskey
now watch me
be born again
i'll be reborn.

as a child i'd chase lightning bugs
in the backyard of my parents house
the memory of smiles
has been stuck in my mind for a while
and i've been trying to catch that feeling
but they keep dying in the jar
and now it's thundering in my head
and there's a downpour in my heart
and it's been a while
since i haven't had to fake this smile
i'm not even a shell of a man
just a distant memory of a boy
and i've been trying to shake that feeling
that it's been this way from the start
and it's been thundering in my head
and there's a downpour in my heart
now i'm soaking wet and i'm drowning in
the puddles i used to splash in when i was a kid
and i've been trying to shake this feeling
but i keep crying in the dark
