- 18
All the guys gas me up on the swim team
All her friends they don't know that I'm sixteen
I'm pretty psyched she's over every night
I'm sorry if it ever pissed you off
Well she doesn't mind
Driving home from campus for a younger guy
I'm lying to my parents
Said, "I'm out with my friends, sleeping over again"
- brooklyn boy
I'll save my breath
This is as simple as it gets
Not pressed for time
I'm sick of misery and wine
You'll be my savior, I'll be your Brooklyn boy
Keep me from danger, 'til I go overboard
I haven't left my house in months
- Cry with you
I'll give you whatever I can
But honestly, there's not a lot where I stand
Nobody knows where we'll go
But I've got a hunch that it feels like home, mm
And nobody knows you like I do
So take me down to Earth
I'll listen to everything you say
If nothin' else gets you through, gets you through
- full stop
You'll never see me to the core
All the ways I've been before
You'll learn to see there's so much more to this
Can't you see I'm here all alone?
Can't you see I'm far from home?
Even when I'm dreamin' the most
I keep my deepest fears too close
And I should know by now
- hell or flying
I'm petrified that you're dying by design
Waste every day until you're wasted and afraid
I hope it doesn't hurt
That I don't make it worse
I'll always feel this far away
But I, I will lay down by your side
I will keep an open eye while you stare into the sun
Promise me you're done
- i-70
It took some time
To catch my breath and open my eyes
I think I'm alive
It's hard to define
The way I feel when everything's fine
'Cause most of the time shit sucks
I'm half asleep
- oh, mexico
No, I don't miss you yet
You're just a feeling I'd rather forget
So I pierce my skin and I buzz my hair
I'm going to Mexico
No, I don't feel the same
The lack of chemicals in my brain
Won't keep me warm, so I pause and pray
I don't wanna feel the cold
- Peace Signs
[Chorus]
They always said we were a mistake
And I appreciate the peace we've made, yeah
But I don't want to waste time
Wondering if you're fine
That you couldn't be mine
Now I'm throwing peace signs
Now I'm throwing peace signs, yeah
- scared
Don't move, there's a lion next to you
I pray that your soul survives it through another day
'Cause in my dreams, there were angels circling
I could see everything you ever wanted me to be
I see oceans in your eyes
It makes me scared
So if we both drown
- somebody loves you
Spent four hours in the city
Just to see if you would miss me
Nowhere feels the same as Brooklyn
Dancing like nobody's lookin'
But oh, what a dream
If we could be subtle lovers
In the suburbs
And all I could see
- supercuts
I thought
I would be good by now
I'd have it figured all out
We skipped the scenic route
And oh well
At least I never lied
Still I'm always the bad guy
So much for being nice
- When i'm around
One, two
One, two, three, four
I'd say it's nice to know you
But I don't really know you
You're a different person
When I'm around
Now you smile politely
