Labor Day 04:23
The slightest move the smallest touch. We've built such an incredible distance. You'd find me there by that yellow street sign, life can change in an instant. Sixty-five miles an hour on a twenty-five mile an hour road, we thought it was an accident until we found your note. I can't get it out of my mind. You really oughta start hiding my keys at night. Running away only makes it feel more authentic. I told you I was joking, but you knew that I meant it. "Don't take you're thoughts so seriously. Sometimes weird shit gets up inside your head." You probably thought I wasn't listening, but I clung to every word you said. I can't get it out of my mind. I can't just leave it all behind. You really oughta start hiding my keys at night. So where are you now? And where is that line? Cause forgetting you ever lived doesn't feel right. But God knows I'm trying.

Grass Stains 04:03
Old lusts and the musk of wood dust trapped in my old house. The air's too thick to breathe so desperately we scooped it in our mouths. Untouched with a poor paint job and a short attention span. If I could concentrate, it would have turned it great but I can't. And I'll probably never be a famous writer. But, I can read and write okay. And ill probably never be all that successful. Would you love me still the same way? Grass stains and old Brit khaki pants it's getting old. I still don't have the means to buy nice things but I'm over it, it's cool. I slept inside my car for what seemed like forever. I ain't ate a lunch the past six months it's time to get my life together. And I'll probably never be a fearless fighter. But, I can fight this off today. You'll probably never love me like I love you, but I love you still the same way. And I'd have changed if I knew it was an option. God knows I would have changed. Cause ill probably never be the same without you. Ill probably never be the same. I'd have changed if I knew it was an option. God I wish I could change. Cause I'm not even half of what you wanted. And I gave everything I have. Ill probably never be a famous writer. But I've accepted it, it's okay. You'll probably never love me like I love you. But, I love you still the same way.

The Fever 04:14
When the fever breaks I will be right here sitting in the same spot I'm sitting right now. My faith has started to shake. I don't know if I still believe you'll ever come to life with this crowd. Am I the only one who feels lonely even though I know I'm surrounded by friends? Am I the only one who feels that fevered longing? God I know I'm the only one who can. There's things that I hide, things I keep in the corners of my mind and I can't keep hiding. I know you won't approve of this, I've got bad taste in art and sex and lying. When we sat in my basement and I showed you all my wrongs, you said, "just don't quit your day job." You were right, I gave up four years ago, but some things are just too hard to leave behind. I've changed my mind so many times cause I wanted you to like me. And I'm ashamed to admit it took me this long, but I don't care if you like me anymore.
