Knee Pads 03:44
I’ve spent the last few years anticipating Being older but feeling so afraid of aging I made it to the age I always wanted to be Now I’m jealous of the kids who make the most of things I’m a little distant from it all Linger where I’m most comfortable You’re saying, “Don’t look down, don’t lose your edge” While you loosen my grip And you send me plummeting But we got the bumpers on We got a sense of security You send me plummeting But we keep the knee pads on We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees I’ve got no one left to impress here I do the same things but they don’t get easier You know the lightning strike has completely faded You wouldn’t get the joke if I made it There were grass stains on my jeans And dirty fingers on loosened baby teeth I shouldn’t been marking my path with blood Now I can’t find my way back from where You send me plummeting But we got the bumpers on We got a sense of security You send me plummeting But we keep the knee pads on We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees It’s all leading up to this But it’s all downhill from here I’m dying to be reborn What is there to look forward to When there’s so much to miss out on? I’m dying to be re- You send me plummeting But we got the bumpers on We got a sense of security You send me plummeting But we keep the knee pads on We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees

Keep Cool 05:10
Everything I’ve felt before has gone away And this will too I don’t know what’s good for me If I’m good for you But I just saw you look for me In a crowded room I find it so hard to wait And I cannot keep my cool I’ve become less intrigued With the way things are trying to be But I still wonder what you dream about When you breathe heavily I can see me making so many mistakes I can see me letting all this go to waste I don’t know if I stressed it enough Now I don’t know if we’re friends anymore Everything I’ve ever said Has meant nothing to anyone What’s the point of all of this If no one asks what’s wrong? I know I’ve got a lot of growing up to do It’s nothing new Ground me, bring me back to earth You know I’d do the same for you If I knew what to do Would I like it as much as I’m trying to? I still don’t know What all of this means to you I want to believe in something greater than me I want to be the dog sitting in the backseat I don’t know if I stressed it enough Now I don’t know if we’re friends anymore

Coat Pt. 2 02:41
Alright, I’m ready I know you still have my coat But it’s getting so goddamn cold And I know you still have my coat Winter’s here and I was wondering If I could get it back Past the living room Records on the floor Don’t know where I am Don’t know where you are See the lantern’s lit Do I go upstairs? I know I wanna I know you still have my coat But it’s getting so goddamn cold And I know you still have my coat Winter’s here and I was wondering If I could get it back Smoke’s pouring out Laying on the floor Generosity’s overwhelming me Resisting the urge to give in I know I wanna I know there’s no hope I know it I know there’s no hope I know you still have my coat But it’s getting so goddamn cold And I know you still have my coat Winter’s here and I was wondering If I could get it back

Ride Around 04:15
Is this the road, or are we floating through space? While the stars melt in our place The sun lights the stars as they’re on their way Into the wind, we must stay The sounds of space are as vivid as The constellations in your eyes Take my hand as you can hear the sounds around I forgot the way home I’m gonna ride around I’m gonna ride around this time Flying past as time slows down Danger’s lurking all around Destination seems so close But we’re moving too slow Red shooting stars race past ours Lighting the path so far Where’s the capitol to mark our place Lost in the night we will stay I forgot the way home I’m gonna ride around I’m gonna ride around this time Racing time (Wondering when this will end) Forever now (You seem so frightened) Time goes by Now I don’t care I’m gonna ride around I’m gonna ride around this time

Messy 04:07
When I drive I imagine the scene of a crash where I die And it’s more Vivid than real life I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna go Think I lost control I could lose control Yeah, I lost control I’m grinding my teeth to dust My feet are sinking into mud I’m grinding my teeth to dust Please tell me I should keep it up Everyone Around me is doing so much better than me And I can’t Stop getting caught up on the wrong things I wish I could say I spend all my time Doing what I want Think I might’ve lost Track of what I want Yeah, I think I forgot I’m grinding my teeth to dust My feet are sinking into mud I’m grinding my teeth to dust Please tell me I should keep it up I don’t know how This got to be such a mess I don’t know how Much better this can get I don’t know how I stopped trying my best I don’t know how Much blood I can let I’m grinding my teeth to dust My feet are sinking into mud I’m grinding my teeth to dust Please tell me I should keep it up
