Sunshine Guaranteed

I’m just going through some shit
But I can deal with it.
Got lost out after dark
Cold indifference was the spark
On the other side of lonely
Is everything you need
Coming home to the same empty phone
Hot and cold but always alone
Trying to find what left me behind
On the other side of lonely
Is everything you need
It’ll all look twice as lovely
Sunshine Guaranteed
I waited so long but stepped out of line
In windows light a vacant dream
Now I’m stuck somewhere in between
Didn’t know my feelings ran so deep
another moment I wish I could keep
On the other side of lonely
Is everything you need
Is everything you neeeeeeed
It all look twice as lovely
Sunshine guaranteed
Sunshine guaranteeeeeed

Holding On
03:34

Found the path the other day
Didn’t know just what you’d say
I’ll go it alone
Eyes that say don’t go away
Come to me please won’t you stay
I can’t say no
I’m just holding on
Can’t stop holding on
I’m holding on to what I know
Just can’t let it go
Haven’t felt this high before
Without passing out on the floor
You enchant me
Reminding me now that there’s light
Everything is going to be alright
You set me free
Holding on
I saw you the other day
couldn’t remember what to say
you’ve got those
Oceans for eyes
Got all tied up into knots
Our distance all but forgot
Endless highs

you came to me when i was broken
you came to me when i was hurt
be a shame to not give in
you’d been leadin me on for so long
why not lead me to my bed
probably worth it, though
the night didn’t wanna end
but i can’t no i just can’t
i can’t let you win
Too hurt to chase
So don’t run away
You’ll be running all alone
Not here to fake
Don’t plan to stay
Just enjoy our time on the sun
Comforter we never made it under
Still smells like you
Candles, sweat and those perfect teeth
You’ve been lying through
Writing about you always
Helps the pain kinda go away
Thinking you’ll hear it and
Be in my arms for another day
no way
Too hurt to chase
So don’t run away
You’ll be running all alone
Not here to stay
Just enjoy our time on the sun
Today was the day
that I stopped and asked
why do I look so good
why do I smell so good
and i fell asleep thinking
will i still feel the weight
of not knowing
not knowing what i’m doing
will is still feel the weight
of sitting too long and
letting everything fall asleep
will i still feel the weight
of running out on everyone
why do i feel so good
why do i look so good

Heaven Sent
05:20
|

got too high and i lost the fight
wrecked all night
felt alright
go out and meet
that friend you met
that heaven sent
I’m still hung up on your words
the way you strung them along
to tell me shouldn’t hurt
even though it’s cold and wrong
i dreamt of angels
flying around my face
telling me I was
a big disgrace
go out and meet that friend you met
that heaven sent
that heave sentr
is this what dreams are really made of
this right here
and over there
is this what we really came all this way for

Interlude

I really wanna finish this song
but the night just got so goddamn long
was this fling hot enough
to write me a good song
and did it end bad enough for you
to wanna follow along
there’s some sunshine in the way you move
so I can’t stop thinking about you
i got everything to lose
still i can’t stop thinking about you
there’s some sunshine in the way you move
i can’t stop thinking about you
you said our friendships hurt
and you don’t like me that way
instead i treat you like dirt
still don’t want you to stay
time flies when you’re having fun
i can’t rely on anyone
there’s a magic in the way you move
try to finish this, while i’m thinking about you
there’s a magic in the way you move
i can’t stop thinking about you yet
can’t stop thinking about you
yet
yet
faded away before this song was done

Find A Way
04:31
|

why are you looking at me that way
i told you that I couldn’t stay
but still you made me run away
so why are you looking at me that way
i told you
i never wanted to come over
maybe i never said that out loud but in my mind
i thought you knew
why do i keep getting caught up
in this bullshit
i don’t wanna hurt you
that could be taken wrong
so let me explain
i don’t like causing other people
emotional pain
it makes me feel
like a piece of shit
so why do I
keep doing it
i’ll find a way
find myself
getting tired of this
staying down here
until the middle of the morning
this dream of mine
could get carried away with me
oh away with me
it’s okay to have these feelings
you just don’t have to say them out loud
i’ll find a way
there was a time
when it was really in the red
i think i thought i’d rather be dead
don’t take that shit the wrong way again
i’m just saying i could use a win
i’ll find a way

Melt the Night Away
03:18
|
|||
Now that I’ve seen that look in your eye
I don’t wanna look away
Like if you don’t have me you’re gonna die
So I guess I’d better stay
As dark as it gets today
Was gonna stay anyway
Nothing you need to say
I move to you in ways I thought
I’d never understand
it’s easier now
without the loss
was it all part of the plan
was it all part of the plan
all along
I was day dreaming about you again
The one where we pass the day
Turn everything off and fall to sin
Just melt the night away

Boredom
03:56
|
|||
Do you show up when I’m getting close to how much I can take
Arms open wide I’m here I lied but I don’t break
If the beauty is fleeting do I count it against what I thought you meant
A rough and tumble night of necking now I’m spent
Sick of staring at my phone wishing you would obsess
a spinning disk of thoughts always coming back to the smell of your neck
Seeing you naked though with me made the world slow down
Everything fell away for a minute you were the only one around
It’s a flash in the pan I know now for sure
It’s what I asked for don’t sweat it there isn’t a cure
all I want is a little dream
a little love come running
grown man shouldn’t be so overcome with emotion
is it boredom a real feelin that has me so on fire
thirst more than stagnation
an inept desire
i get so sick of getting this same way
over and over again
over and over again
