I've traded Jerseyside Left three thousand miles out behind Sacrificing parkway lights and I've Planted evergreens Weather’s always better when you're down But I've got to make a thousand people proud Of me Wonder where they are and who they think I'll be If I come home tonight Conquered the Midwest Empty Heartlands to Montana nights And where nostalgic dreams get put to rest Raced Wyoming clouds Denver skies are brighter in June But still as dark when you're not around I think I saw them in a dream Drunk under the table singing Springsteen Intoxicated by your memories And songs from coast to coast I'm not afraid of dying in the Sound But what you might think if I just come home Tonight A selfish nomad mariner at sea Without a star to guide me home Conquered the Midwest Empty Heartlands to Montana nights And where nostalgic dreams get put to rest Raced Wyoming clouds Denver skies are brighter in June But still as dark when you're not around

You said that we would live the dream And it feels like we are seventeen again Getting lost with our old friends Spent days and nights in parking lots In the back of schoolyards As 3 AM turned into days we’d sleep away Everyone’s getting married now Settled down in a new town Our past is the only weight setting ourselves back From leaving it all behind for Pacific Northwest summers Watch the stars across the bay next to Pike Place The sad look on our face Like when we had it all We had it all Hindsight is so clear Yet we think we’ve figured out The stories you wrote, you always dreamed about With every mistake you made you burned another page And never let that stop you from running away Lie and say you want this more Don't you want to? Our past is the only weight setting ourselves back From leaving it all behind for Pacific Northwest summers Watch the stars across the bay next to Pike Place The sad look on our face Like when we had it all We had it all

The new year starts today I wake up tired You're probably still asleep I'm on the drive home It's not your fault I ran away To the evergreen state You were constant like the sunrise I was constantly afraid I was constantly afraid Covered tracks and descent in the madness Race to the bottom, you paralyze me With your crystal eyes and death-defying lies You sing to me Does it mean anything to me? Does it mean anything to me? You've got a way of running from The scene of tragedy As mistakes fight to define me now Set a course for liberty Free from your embrace And I swear how I'm still sorry that I made you, feel like it Doesn't mean anything to me Covered tracks and descent in the madness Race to the bottom, you paralyze me With your crystal eyes and death-defying lies You sang to me Does it mean anything to me? I miss you Can't tell you How mid-December makes me Afraid to sleep cause you Made your way Through all of my Subconscious frightened memories Covered tracks and descent in the madness Race to the bottom, you paralyze me With your crystal eyes and death-defying lies You sang to me Does it mean anything to me? Does it mean anything to me? Does it mean anything to me?

You came back to me, wearing white in a dream With bright eyes and lungs full of life Then I saw your face carved into your grave As the May sun shines on you bright I think I miss you, my friend Will we meet again? Because I regret to tell you I missed saying goodbye And I searched through every reason I can't reconcile Why they let you sink under You live in every thunderstorm I miss you, my friend Didn’t pick up my phone last time you left home You sailed off, wind at your back Staring off the sides with arms open wide For fair winds and following seas I think I miss you, my friend Will we meet again? Because I regret to tell you I missed saying goodbye And I searched through every reason I can't reconcile Why they let you sink under You live in every thunderstorm I miss you, my friend You were the hero with your heart set north You were the compass we still carry And I hope this song is your lighthouse And I hope this song guides you home And I hope this song is your lighthouse Please come home, old friend Because I regret to tell you I missed saying goodbye And I searched through every reason I can't reconcile Why they let you sink under You live in every thunderstorm I miss you, my friend

Set off the motion sensor lights While you pretend you’re held together But you’re still distant as ever Carried on for far too long Pretending there’s nothing wrong with how I’ve Spent the year acting like a problem with no answers Burn down the hell that is your home Cause that’s not the life you want You never owed them anything I would give anything To bring our tracks together Without causing another train wreck Desperate to pull the brakes Or work it out eventually and I would give anything To keep you safe and sound while I’m not there So much for wasted time Time This is what we've been fighting for What’s the price of a dream That’s not worth dying for? We’ve been here long enough To know what counts as a compromise And what fades away to empty promises Burn down the hell that is your home Cause that's not the life you want You never owed them anything I would give anything To bring our tracks together Without causing another train wreck Desperate to pull the brakes Or work it out eventually and I would give anything To keep you safe and sound while I’m not there So much for wasted time Time Burn down the hell that is your home Cause that’s not the life you want Burn down the hell that is your home Cause that's not the life you want Burn down the hell that is your home Cause that's not the life you want Burn down the hell that is your home I would give anything To bring our tracks together Without causing another train wreck Desperate to pull the brakes Or work it out eventually and I would give anything To keep you safe and sound while I’m not there So much for wasted time Time

All of my friends have silhouette tattoos Done in basements, born from bad ideas And all of my friends have someone that they miss I don't want to have to relate to them and I don’t want my friends to die anymore I don’t want to see them cry anymore Don’t talk just listen Don’t ask too much, don’t pretend That there's enough time in this world to love enough Still bound to break and isolate myself I can't replace who made me who I am today Still numb to feel what everyone thinks now I just wanted to make a thousand people proud I don’t want my friends to die anymore I don’t want to see them cry anymore Don’t talk just listen Don’t ask too much, don’t pretend That there's enough time in this world to love enough Spent more than enough nights in attics With a bottle wishing I was Always somewhere else than Where I am at every fucking time Looking back it's, the only place I ever wanted I don’t want my friends to die anymore I don’t want to see them cry anymore Don’t talk just listen Don’t ask too much, don’t pretend That there's enough time in this world to love enough
