Come on In 08:03
It's been a while since I felt that kind of Low point It's not that I haven't done wrong I just haven't felt it In a bit Maybe I'm being over dramatic Maybe I have to much to say Regardless Of fact will stay in tact Marking down places, familiar faces I'm figuring out how to get around Lately I've been caught up in things to do Playing backyards and seeing bands in basements too Hey hello how has your day been? I haven't seen you in a while, come on in Talk to me how has it been being alone It gets better I promise, just hold on to hope Don't worry about the dirty rugs I nailed them to the floor The windows don't open but I've made myself a home This is what I've made out of myself One day I want to hear all about what you made out of yourself Hey hello how has your day been? I haven't seen you in a while, come on in Talk to me how has it been being alone It gets better I promise, just hold on to hope All those fears of making promises, Bad blood with former bosses Everything will fade and get old Life won't be this forever, it'll get a lot better It gets better I promise, just hold on to hope Hey hello how has your day been? I haven't seen you in a while, come on in Talk to me how has it been being alone It gets better I promise, just hold on to hope It gets better I promise, just hold on to hope It gets better I promise, just hold on to hope It gets better I promise, just hold on to hope Capo 4th F E7 a7 F gadd9 c c7

Setbacks 04:26
Raindrops on the windshield You came right out of left field It's dark in the backseat, I might as well sleep I drift off to the sound of snide blasting ween You don't know, why I act the way I do And I don't think that matters much, it's got nothing to do with you But I think I've been shaped by my own mistakes If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that I'm allowed to cry I'm just a kid from a town south of Boston My town is a home to alcohol and heroin But I'll never talk a sip or stick a needle in my arm I don't have much to say and I think I've said it all And I've got enough to problems as it is I don't need another thing to add to the list Of setbacks, disappointments, cancer or dope That's why I keep running and hold onto hope And I'm not sure what I mean But damn Rockland is my home despite the novelty I'll never give up on it since I met Brian on the tracks 2013 was the start of all that I'm just a kid from a town south of Boston My town is a home to alcohol and heroin But I'll never talk a sip or stick a needle in my arm I don't have much to say and I think I've said it all F,falt,c f,falt,c f,fmin,c,g7 Am, c, b7 c j F,g am, em7

You sold yourself to a fox all those years ago You become so nomadic, you can't seem to find a home Everything is Okay and things will find a place Lift me up until I'm dead and in a higher space I'm not self-conscious and I'm just cautious as my mother And I may be getting old but I'm not as bold as my brother Values will be the death of everything you know Nothing really matters when your getting ready to go down the line I was shaking like a leaf on a tree Wishing things were how they used to be And I find it a bit ironic That it seems so hard to find you iconic Come with me down the road We're the summer is hot and the winters to cold Shut the door in my sweaty beating face My demons lurk, do my dirty work. Let me see your face I was oblivious and crude To this sensitive ruse Why was I dealt this hand? was I just ment to not understand? Do think you think this is a game? Is it just me or are we both to blames Even when It won't show this doesn't feel the best I wish knew how to fix this mess

Daytime 06:09
Spray paint the walls I couldn't count them all Nostalgia in the corner of the room Walking down Summer Street Weary on my feet I'll carry this skateboard till I can catch my breath to ride it So I skate down to the wharf Just to skate back down to South Station The wind is cold but the sun still makes me sweat I'll meet up with you in the Commons We can get ice cream and catch some sun This day won't last forever but I cant think of a day when My memories won't This clay brick road is different than the rest Sure it's bustling with people but none of theme I've ever met Today is ending quickly but it felt like a lifetime Cambridge in the daytime We missed our buddies set time But we met up with them just to hang around Julia's new haircut looks nice So do Amanda's purple highlights Not to be rude but the headliner, sucked I'll meet up with you in the Commons We can get ice cream and catch some sun This day won't last forever but I cant think of a day when My memories won't Cracked brick wall, murals in the stairway Downstairs Mideast, wherever we go we can have It out way Well paid busking trips, I'll wait for the moon to eclipse the sun Because another day in town isn't the same for everyone I'll meet up with you in the Commons We can get ice cream and catch some sun This day won't last forever but I cant think of a day when My memories won't I'll meet up with you in the Commons We can get ice cream and catch some sun This day won't last forever but I cant think of a day when My memories won't capo one C f F g C f B7 c

I jumped into my fear I overcame a burden of mine today I hurled myself, into the ocean I almost stopped myself but I continued the motion Falling into the dark Were I couldn't see a thing Blinded by ambitious thoughts Till I couldn't see a fucking thing You never haven't tried to make a pace Always pulsing through the town trying to find your place You never haven't tried to make a pace Always pulsing through the town trying to find your place I Put my head into the ocean right after you did We stoped up on the rocks and the tide was coming in My shoes and socks were soaked with salt The sand and sea made me feel at home The sunset was bright as your favorite ideas I couldn't feel this good if I wasn't sitting right here Most things on this earth aren't built to last One day this will all shatter and collapse Ike glass You never haven't tried to make a pace Always pulsing through the town trying to find your place You never haven't tried to make a pace Always pulsing through the town trying to find your place The sunset was bright as your favorite ideas I couldn't feel this good if I wasn't sitting right here Most things on this earth aren't built to last One day this will all shatter and collapse Ike glass You never haven't tried to make a pace Always pulsing through the town trying to find your place You never haven't tried to make a pace Always pulsing through the town trying to find your place Capo 2 C c#dim Em7 am x2 em7 f g cx2j Fmin gmin c

The best things in life you really cannot hold Like lending a hand or empathy, surely you don't suppose That I don't need to be rich when I'm emotionally wealthy Even I when I'm afraid I won't wake up I hold onto hope I'm awake and my heart is beating If I was a rocket I'd be through the ceiling by now My life has purpose and meaning And I wouldn't trade it for anything I'm awake and my heart is beating If I was a rocket I'd be through the ceiling by now My life has purpose and meaning I'll keep a little hope in my pocket in case you need some to, I love you Because sometimes people die in there sleep And to think for a second that, that could be me Gives me a reason and gives me hope, to live before I'm dead, before I croak I'm so thankful that I get to live my life I'm awake and my heart is beating If I was a rocket I'd be through the ceiling by now My life has purpose and meaning And I wouldn't trade it for anything I'm awake and my heart is beating If I was a rocket I'd be through the ceiling by now My life has purpose and meaning I'll keep a little hope in my pocket in case you need some to, I love you So if Beauty is in eyes of the beholder Then I think what I'm beholding would be pretty hard to leave The way I think Is enough to keep me breathing, alive and eating. But it also sometimes doesn't even let me sleep I'm awake and my heart is beating If I was a rocket I'd be through the ceiling by now My life has purpose and meaning And I wouldn't trade it for anything I'm awake and my heart is beating If I was a rocket I'd be through the ceiling by now My life has purpose and meaning I'll keep a little hope in my pocket in case you need some to, I love you Stone cold benches behind the train, I'm glad that I got caught in the rain The dye is running down my shirt and you'd think things couldn't really get much worse Stone cold benches behind the train, I'm glad that I got caught in the rain The dye is running down my shirt and you'd think things couldn't really get much worse But it's fine, I'm alright, it's all fine But it's fine, I'm alright, it's all fine But it's fine, I'm alright, it's all fine But it's fine, I'm alright, it's all fine Stone cold benches behind the train, I'm glad that I got caught in the rain The dye is running down my shirt and you'd think things couldn't really get much worse Stone cold benches behind the train, I'm glad that I got caught in the rain The dye is running down my shirt and you'd think things couldn't really get much worse I'm awake and my heart is beating If I was a rocket I'd be through the ceiling by now My life has purpose and meaning And I wouldn't trade it for anything I'm awake and my heart is beating If I was a rocket I'd be through the ceiling by now My life has purpose and meaning I'll keep a little hope in my pocket in case you need some to, I love you i love you.

There is paint in my lungs I can taste it more than usual The fumes Are making my eyes itch yea My lungs are like a metronome I'll keep time with myself and I won't let go Pcik at the Diamond to Pick at The Dirt Pick at the concrete it's a part of the plan Just like you, just like me I tried and tried but I couldn't find peace Just like you, just like me I'll show you how to smile if that's what you want to see There is something strange about pleasing a crowd When you have something say you can't say it too loud Nothing about that has changed not even a little First you have to learn, that you're never gonna walk on the Sea Every time you walk on out of the house,some things won't be the way you want them to be Just like you, just like me I tried and tried but I couldn't find peace Just like you, just like me I'll show you how to smile if that's what you want to see Capo five C am dm C g am dm

I'm breathless in a good way Let me take two steps back It's been too cold to skateboard, It's how I usually get around You weren't such a wise one Don't worry I'm the same deal Don't forget pick up your package I left it on the steps for you I left it there for you And have no sympathy, For my demons are still in bed I Put them to sleep with some magic I found in my new safe place, in my new safe place Glowing by the candle light and cobwebs A Portal to a new realm Acrylic beauty and wooden board thoughts Maybe one day we will finally get caught Light from three ways, two usually work Noise from the mechanics put me to sleep I've been listening to your favorite songs They can't put me to sleep even all day long And have no sympathy, For my demons are still in bed I Put them to sleep with some magic I found in my new safe place, in my new safe place And have no sympathy, For my demons are still in bed I Put them to sleep with some magic I found in my new safe place, in my new safe place

Illuminated 06:15
Your Portraits still on my wall it doesn't look like you at all cluttered in stillness i drowned in change i never take it down no matter how i re-arrange Im still Illuminated by the lights that we left on in your bedroom,in my bedroom, were i write the fear away Im here to stay alone, to lie to myself, to lie to my own I wont pretend i care ill just prove, prove that im alive Laying down my feet seem so fa away Perspective is everything, at least thats what i say Lately ive been getting practice crying and i honestly have no idea why maybe im just too emotional, all i really know is that i love my life and i dont wanna die Im still Illuminated by the lights that we left on in your bedroom,in my bedroom, were i write the fear away Im here to stay alone, to lie to myself, to lie to my own I wont pretend i care ill just prove, prove that im alive Have you ever walked outside when you shouldn't? From Highland to Market to Central to Union? I marked it all down as i crossed the Border of The Town Have you finished taking note of the cold wet ground just yet? Fear Was Stronger Then Passion The Stakes Were higher then any of us could've imagined When Push came to pull we ran x2 Im still Illuminated by the lights that we left on in your bedroom,in my bedroom, were i write the fear away Im here to stay alone, to lie to myself, to lie to my own I wont pretend i care ill just prove, prove that im alive

We tracked mud into the house I just cleaned It's OK there is still burns on the floor From when josh threw that big party, when mom was away I only work to live I refuse to live to work I may be pushing carriages But at least that's not my passion I don't work for the future I let it happen to me I don't try to change what hasn't happened Because that would probably change me We tracked mud into the basement It's OK I'm the only one there to care I just laid down some carpet I nailed it to the floor Just because I got it for free doesn't mean to me it's not worth more I only work to live I refuse to live to work I may be pushing carriages But at least that's not my passion I don't work for the future I let it happen to me I don't try to change what hasn't happened Because that would probably change me we tracked mud into the attic It Always really hot up here but I take a look at you and I see I see something different, we've got something different And just because I didn't pay for this does that mean it's not worth it I only work to live I refuse to live to work I may be pushing carriages But at least that's not my passion I don't work for the future I let it happen to me I don't try to change what hasn't happened Because that would probably change me we tracked mud into my car hit the road driving 5 hours west ill be home monday with less money than before im up at four in the morning, just so i can do it all again I only work to live I refuse to live to work I may be pushing carriages But at least that's not my passion I don't work for the future I let it happen to me I don't try to change what hasn't happened Because that would probably change me This is worth my life and 10 an hour is not I will live to be happy, I will not live to be wealthy My dream is worth my life, 10 an hour is not I will live to make others happy , I will not live to make money I only work to live I refuse to live to work I may be pushing carriages But at least that's not my passion I don't work for the future I let it happen to me I don't try to change what hasn't happened Because that would probably change me 2nd capo G a add9 a/b add9 f#/dadd9 Em c gadd9 C B7 Em b7

Tall black hat, rumors behind your back They talk soft enough you can hear The telling of an age, they think you're knowledge is underage But all you've ever tried to do is find your way But they don't know That you don't care But they do know That your right But they don't know That you don't care But they do know That your right Your life has never been, cobblestone roads, or green toads It's been just like there's you gotta go in 9-5 But what's different is when you get home you turn off the light And feel happy and misunderstood and safe thru the night But they don't know That you don't care But they do know That your right But they don't know That you don't care But they do know That your right You Draw the circle on the floor, nobody can touch you anymore The dirt floor you call home is the only thing that doesn't leave you sore A healing life full of hurt, shelves of book were you exert All the free time that you can scrounge But they don't know That you don't care But they do know That your right But they don't know That you don't care But they do know That your right Starry nights, midday plights Your walking home from an early night It's gonna be a full moon You know just what to do, tonight is for you But they don't know That you don't care But they do know That your right But they don't know That you don't care But they do know That your right Capo 2

Disappoint. 04:41
I'm not a disappointment Its just sometimes i disappoint When I try to make my point People seem to miss the point every time Don't say I have an issue I know I do, I have a few I'm dealing with it all, you know it's true You may not understand but let me think you do I'm not crazy I just have a knack For choosing the choices that put me right back To where I want to be, were I'm happy I hope I didn't disappoint again So I just quit my job And I kind of smell like shit I failed my first license test And I straight up feel sick So if you'rewondering what I'm thinking but don't know how to ask ill just tell you the past is in the past I don't think that I'm special but I do think that I'm different Because I'm a mess and I try my best and I hold to hope I have too much to say, to say I have to much to say Drop d 2nd capo

Move Ahead 05:37
You could get as high as you were low This can go as far as you want it to go I know this is strange and out of the blue But I don't need change as much as I need you. Laying in the rocks staring at the floor Watching, do I have to take this anymore? I'm trying my best to move ahead Just let me atleast dream that I am not in bed. You could get as high as you were low This can go as far as you want it to go I know this is strange and out of the blue But I don't need change as much as I need you. I'm trying my best to move ahead Just let me atleast dream of the words you've said Just give me a sign, Mark in the sand That this time it's different and it's okay to land You could get as high as you were low This can go as far as you want it to go I know this is strange and out of the blue But I don't need change as much as I need you. I don't need change as much as I need you I don't need change as much as I need you I don't need change as much as I need you I don't need change as much as I need you I don't need change as much as I need you I don't need change as much as I need you I don't need change as much as I need you I don't need change as much as I need you Capo 2nd C c/b am

I feel like a ghost,Pacing down your driveway The street you live on never looked so god damn compelling I still have the wifi in the front yard as I stop The sidewalk won't let me go, the air won't let me talk Because nothing really ever has a message like the one your self receive And Everytime I think of this I wanna fucking leave But my feet are glued together to this side walk below im not sure when i got here but its definitely time to go Mediums across the bored could never represent The way I feel or I how I act or or the way that I resent The opinions that I have for no reason at all Sometimes there is just no way to recall Because nothing really ever has a message like the one your self receive And Everytime I think of this I wanna fucking leave But my feet are glued together to this side walk below im not sure when i got here but its definitely time to go Now Could you Imagine If things were the way they were last December have you even realized? could you find the time to remember? think back real hard, its only been a few months past behind me are only memory's and in front of me, my life that could never last Because nothing really ever has a message like the one your self receive And Everytime I think of this I wanna fucking leave But my feet are glued together to this side walk below im not sure when i got here but its definitely time to go im not sure when i got here but its definitely time to go im not sure when i got here but its definitely time to go im not sure when i got here but its definitely time to go
