Heaven or Hell 02:22
lyrics

The skeletons renting my closet They instantly crumble to dust I’m better at making up problems Than pulling myself out a rut The same lines same words I’ve said before Shipwrecked now sailing back to shore This house doesn’t seem to be haunted anymore I wish it was always this easy To twist the words out of my mouth I bend over backwards to be here Your touch is the top of the shelf I’ve tried some crazy shit before But no one quite shook me to the core I go nuts when you’re talking to me yeah No I know I’m not the type to say I love you on the phone And I swore I’d never plan ahead I’d always plan alone But if you hop onto a plane I’ll hop on don’t care where it goes It’s insane you made it easy Wouldn’t do this shit for anyone else Babe I don’t mind going through heaven or hell Babe I don’t mind going through heaven or hell No I know I’m not the type to say I love you on the phone And I swore I’d never plan ahead I’d always plan alone But if you hop onto a plane I’ll hop on don’t care where it goes It’s insane you made it easy Wouldn’t do this shit for anyone else Babe I don’t mind going through heaven or hell Babe I don’t mind going through heaven or hell Now I can not quite remember what it’s like being alone And I can’t picture life without you will I die if you let go? Never been this fucking honest Sorry I can’t take it slow Can’t believe we made it easy Couldn’t feel like this with anyone else Babe I don’t mind going through heaven or hell Babe I don’t mind going through heaven or hell

I Wanna Feel Good 02:12
lyrics

I swear I try I do the best that I can To keep together when I know that I can’t, now I’ve been afraid to make it clear when I should, but I wanna feel good I wanna feel good I woke up tired, I’m not feeling myself Who said that glass of wine was good for my health? I’ve taken every B vitamin and juice on the shelf, but None of that ever helps I told my therapist I’m going through hell Try meditating when you’re feeling unwell It’s been a month and I keep asking myself Why I keep taking these L’s I swear I try I do the best that I can To keep together when I know that I can’t, now I’ve been afraid to make it clear when I should, but I wanna feel good I wanna feel good I’ve had it up to here with self-doubt and these second thoughts I’m tired of pretending to be someone that I’m not I’m letting go of holding on to lessons that I’ve lost, or That I knew and soon forgot I swear I try I do the best that I can To keep together when I know that I can’t, now I’ve been afraid to make it clear when I should, but I wanna feel good I wanna feel good Lately it’s been a little harder to sleep With all these fears and worries following me, yeah I’ve always been a little misunderstood, but I wanna feel good I wanna feel good Only miss the sunshine on the days that it rains I wanna feel good I wanna feel good

The Race 02:21
lyrics

I found my self on the freeway Hundred and eighty But something is changing, hmm The scenery is amazing That’s what they’re saying Don’t know what I’m chasing, hmm Could’ve done this Could’ve done that Could’ve done better Would’ve gone mad When what you love’s just making you sad Maybe you should move on and leave it Just take it easy You’ve got good reason To give yourself a break Enjoy the feeling Words have no meaning Just blame the season Go give yourself a break, yeah Remember it’s not a race Everyone’s got these days Remember you’ll be okay, hmm Remember it’s not a race Everyone’s got these days Remember you’ll be okay, hmm So overwhelmed and underwhelmed Where is the balance Pacing myself and slowing down’s Never been my talent Could’ve done this Could’ve done that Could’ve done better Would’ve gone mad When what you love’s just making you sad Maybe you should move on and leave it Just take it easy You’ve got good reason To give yourself a break Enjoy the feeling Words have no meaning Just blame the season Go give yourself a break, yeah Remember it’s not a race Everyone’s got these days Remember you’ll be okay, hmm Remember it’s not a race Everyone’s got these days Remember you’ll be okay, hmm

With or Without You 02:31
lyrics

I don’t really do drugs But lately nothing’s been enough Running on an empty cup Think I’m gonna fall in love I know I should give it time But it never feels right Twenty ways to mess it up Should’ve seen it in your eyes Now they’re burned into my mind This is gonna be rough Are we calling this love? Late night drives through Oregon Can’t say I miss home again All these things I do again cause I’m pretty lost with or without you I wanna call I don’t know how to Why’s every song always about you Do you ever feel the way I do No you’re not really making this easy Not sure if you wanna see me If you leave I wouldn’t know how to I’m pretty lost with or without you I’m pretty lost with or without you Oh it’s driving me insane Something bout it feels wrong Don’t know what to tell my mom She thinks I will never change You can’t be someone you’re not Came close, paid the cost Hear it echoing your name Spending all this time alone Out with people I don’t know Made me want you just the same It made me want you just the same Late night drives through Oregon Can’t say I miss home again All these things I do again cause I’m pretty lost with or without you I wanna call I don’t know how to Why’s every song always about you Do you ever feel the way I do No you’re not really making this easy Not sure if you wanna see me If you leave I wouldn’t know how to I’m pretty lost with or without you I’m pretty lost with or without you I gotta stop thinking about you This life seems empty without you I’ll always be thankful I found you Even if I wasn’t allowed to Nobody said this is easy Sometimes wish you would need me If you leave I wouldn’t know how to I’m pretty lost with or without you I’m pretty lost with or without you

I know I know I know I should keep my cool But I wanna be with you But I wanna be with you I said What I said And you stayed quiet You build the walls yours mind fortified I wish I had a slice of your time Now I’m all alone misreading your signs It’s easier to shut up and leave Find someone else who’s nicer to me But we know that life ain’t going like that We’re always in love with what’s making us sad I know I know I know I should keep my cool But I wanna be with you But I wanna be with you You know You know You know If you were in my shoes You’d wanna be with you too Oh I wanna be with you Let me believe my comfortable lie My hands are tired from wiping my eyes It’s not your fault, i know it’s all mine I put our friendship all on the line I know I know I know I should keep my cool But I wanna be with you But I wanna be with you You know You know You know If you were in my shoes You’d wanna be with you too Oh I wanna be with you Please don’t you say it is all in my head I can not take back the things that I said The things that I said

Oracle 02:04
lyrics
buy track
Last night I was on my last breath I saw God and He wondered where the end is Sit down, see my crumbling defences I’ve been good but keep living in detention It’s like a hurricane telling me to let go I got a good grip 20 years to lay low Maybe I’m better off dropping off the payload If that voice don’t stop I can’t say no I won‘t go I won‘t go Don‘t let go Don‘t let go Wake up We’ll be alright Don’t wait I’m an oracle Seeing those signs Gotta shake That snow globe Do you believe in fate? See it for yourself Give it a try I’ll no longer be here Don’t wait up Hit the bottom line of my red plastic cup You’ll be welcome if you ever feel too lost See it for yourself Give it a try Same shit, different year Why am I like this? Setting sail into it Memories priceless Take another hit of it 'til I drop down Don’t wait up, cause I gotta skip town Baby, this is so sweet, think I’m loving the taste Weekends so packed, I don’t want wanna be late Lie to myself, hang it up in a frame Look back, climbing down the fire escape I won‘t go I won‘t go Don‘t let go Don‘t let go Wake up We’ll be alright Don’t wait I’m an oracle Seeing those signs Gotta shake That snow globe Do you believe in fate? See it for yourself Give it a try I’ll no longer be here Don’t wait up Hit the bottom line of my red plastic cup You’ll be welcome if you ever feel too lost See it for yourself Give it a try
