I Get Flustered
01:25

please don't look back to me, i get flustered and giddy
get lost in the meaning, i get lost in the meaning
should i even try to talk to you? knowing how well that's worked before...
should i acquire hope or give up some?
or fall in love with your green eyes?
should i even try to talk to you? knowing how well that's worked before
should i acquire hope or give up some?
should i even get lost in the thought of you and me, like i do? when i look at you
i can't help but imagine what your body'd look like next to me
i should not be thinking this, you're too innocent for this

My Love, I Love
02:07
|

|
entranced with your eyes
i’m falling for you pretty fast
i know i haven’t seen you in quite a while
but the feeling of having you by my side
still plagues my every want
oh clem, my love, i love
you’re all i think about
and it’s hard
to write you a song
with phrases that haven’t been used before
but my love for you is cliche
i’d like to refrain from doing things i’ve done before
with other people
cause i wanna treat you like my first
fall in love for the first time
and sing in the moonlight
fantasize about life like never before
paralyzed by the mere sight
betrayed by my blind side
i wanna love you like never before

if we met like normal people do
would you hurt me like people do?
i’m excited to see you too
so i’ll hold you till the sky turns blue
cause it hurts being alone
i would know i’ve spent my whole life alone
and it hurts being alone
i would know i’ve spent my whole life alone
if we met like normal people do
i won’t leave you like people do
i’m excited to see you too
and i hope you that you won't leave me too
cause it hurts being alone
i would know i’ve spent my whole life alone
and it hurts being alone
i would know you make me feel alone
if we met like normal people do
i’d be scared shitless of someone like you
i’m excited to see you too
but i’m afraid of something new
cause it hurts being alone
i would know i’ve spent my whole life alone
and it hurts being alone
i would know i’ve spent my whole life alone

Are You Up Yet?
02:59
|
|||
|
i am sick and i am tired, i am tired and i am sick
and you see me driving by your street every fucking day
and everyday it gets harder to not turn on to your house
to see if you're up yet, it's 8:30 and i think you're asleep
so i keep driving and forget i had these thoughts
i try to forget that i doubted myself that misty morning
but today i couldn't help but turn and i found myself smiling
as i approached your house i could not believe my eyes
i started shaking when i saw his shiny car parked on your driveway
so i swallowed back my tears and continued driving
it was a quiet drive back home
as i imagined what you guys might've been doing
were you laying on his chest the way you laid on mine?
or were you fantasizing about the endless pets you one day would adopt?
in your cozy apartment, the one with rooms for all of your hobbies
and now i'm back home singing this song holding back tears
as the fresh air of a new day creeps up on my neck
the way those chills would,
the ones you gave me with your arms around me
singing our favorite songs and pretending that we weren't drowning

stranded in a beige wonderland
and i can't find your hand
stranded
i am stranded
i am stranded
in a wonderland of my mind

Falling Faster
03:58
|
|||
|
i found a life in the sun
where i feel no need for no one
but lately it feels so absurd
yeah lately i can't speak a word
i still miss the way that you do your hair
and i still miss smelling you everywhere
ladadadadadadadada
you've been gone but still live in my head
i find no reason to lie
i'd love to drink up and die
falling faster than i did for you
all this bullshit that i do is for you
i still miss the way that you do your hair
and i still miss smelling you everywhere
ladadadadadadadada
you've been gone but still live in my head
i still miss the way we'd look at the stars
we felt so lost but knew exactly where we'd wanna be
ladadadadadadadada
i've been gone but do you think of me?

hold me
i've been in love for all of my life
and i've been alone for most of my time
but if you hold me
hold me

Small Cages
03:03
|
|||
|
it's the partly colored ray that hangs over my life
when you were going out the door you went with a dive
it's okay
and your sugar colored skin promised me sweet things
told me "come down come down now i wanna hear you sing"
pretty thing
we don't live in small cages anymore
sunset's coming up sun sits light on the ground
so i sit with my tv on but ignore all the sounds
what a waste of life
kellie promised me we would share all our pain
but we haven't talked in days she’s blown out of her brain
i should've cared for her
but we don't hang at lunch tables anymore
and we don't share the same fables anymore
so it seems i lost a friend and a love and a pain
the color of my lover's eyes will remain just the same
the same as mine

Summer's Coming Back
02:45
|
|||
|
it hurts all of the time
but what can we do?
but learn to live this way
summer's coming back
and i only have
a few more months to find the love of my life
i don't feel at home
in these lonely bones
i need someone to hold
i have learned to love myself
in the most pathetic way
|
||||
10. |
||||
|
and finally
i can feel myself moving on
and somebody
has learned to take me in
and every night
i think of you and wonder
are you thinking of me?
and now everyday
i wake up with someone else
on my mind
now we're in june
i'm about to start my life, a life
without you
and everyday
i'll be driving to monterey
away, from all this
and realize
that maybe your end
is my fresh start
she is my fresh start

This Is For You, My Love
03:19
|
|||
|
april of 2016, you picked up a leaf and said,
“this is for you, my love.”
and i jokingly said to you,
“i’ll keep this forever, forever in my room.”
well i wasn’t lying to you i guess
cause 6 months after you left
i found that same leaf lying on my dresser
and i pathetically cherish it
cause it’s all we have left
but then i started thinking
why is this still here and why do i feel like I’m about to cry?
it seemed so stupid, it’s so ridiculous
but i couldn’t laugh at myself
so i started thinking
could it be that this leaf represents the lifeline of our love?
i know it sounds delusional, but how crazy would it be
if you kissed me and i said,
“remember that leaf from april of 2016,
that you gave to me and said,
‘this is for you, my love.’
cause i still have it
it’s in my room
and it reminds me of you.”
but today
i frantically realized i hadn’t seen that stupid leaf in quite a while
so i scavenged all over my room, just to find
that you had left my life
this time for good
i won’t know what do
i’m only hoping that you feel this too

about
this is an album about a high school crush, a depression, and a heartbreak. it's kinda like narnia... with the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe... but not nearly as entertaining.
it's been a long time in the making but i finally managed to finish it.
feel more than free to shoot me an email/dm/message and tell me what you think.
