Everything you want to say is a breath away Anything you want to know and nothing more It's honesty I stand for Went home for the month of November Tried to get my emotions in order It worked until it didn't Cold nights on the roof in December Staring through the light pollution Feels like my life's in ruins So I get my thoughts configured Typed them up and pulled the trigger In the hopes of moving forward Well they say you miss the shots you don't take Well I missed, I missed anyway And they don't tell you how to recover When the rug's pulled out from under

I hear your voice sing Through the stairwell Makes me feel unwell And I don't know what to do With an elephant in the room Sleepless nights Wound up tight Gotta get out of here There's no space to move With an elephant in the room Walk down to the beach Let the sand sink underneath Stare at the waves And hope it'll all be okay

As the time keeps growing older I can feel you getting colder Only wanted to be free It means something to me It means something to me I can't help but fall back into the depths Been here so long I think there's nothing left That I know of Can't speak up Conflict of interest Seems all that I know how to do is to fight it Chew me up Spit me out Fall apart And I'm right here where you left me Insecure and lonely I just wanna know what's true Does it mean something to you Does it mean something to you I can't help but fall back into the tide Fall right back I'm along for the ride For the meantime Serve no purpose Cast me aside The only feelings that I know are confusion Drowning in uncertainty Soak in regret

Wait and See 03:15
I wish I could help it I would do anything to No matter how far I draw my curtains The light shines through It was my serve I thought it's what you deserve Wouldn't you agree? Now the ball's in your court Will you shoot will you score? I guess I'll have to wait and see Tried to do the right thing Could not see it through I did what I could but ultimately It's up to you If you want to It was my serve I thought it's what you deserve Wouldn't you agree? Now the ball's in your court Will you shoot will you score? I guess I'll have to wait and see

Empty-Handed 03:21
Where to begin? 'Cause it's been a while Since I've cracked a smile at an unfamiliar face But it's not like I ever knew how Wanna take control of the here and now But I'm afraid It's gonna turn out the same I've been hung up on the rack I've been through hell and back Just to come up empty-handed Don't wanna come up empty-handed I wanna know where you go I wanna know what you do In the mornings, the nights and the afternoons I think I might see you tonight Maybe I'll strike up conversation And feel your vibration the way it plays out in my head But it's not like I ever knew how Wanna take control of the here and now But I'm afraid It's gonna turn out the same I've been bruised and cracked I've been through hell and back Just to come up empty-handed Don't wanna come up empty-handed

At Long Last 04:57
Took me long enough To look up I'm glad I did With the way things had been You never could know The way things could go The sand ran down the hourglass Grain by grain goodbye pain And at long last The storm has passed Walk past my old place At a slow pace Take it all in The places you've been Now I see The beauty in front of me The sand ran down the hourglass Grain by grain goodbye pain And at long last The storm has passed So clear to me That all I want to be And all that I need Are all within reach

Walk Away 04:50
So hard on yourself For doing something you felt was right What simply was intuition Turned into a miscalculation Carving out your own grave Defined by your last mistake We all fuck up sometimes but it's okay You gotta put the shovel down and walk away Walk away Never could have predicted The storm came through But light cannot shine Without darkness too Carving out your own grave Defined by your last mistake We all fuck up sometimes but it's okay You gotta put the shovel down and walk away Walk away Yes I know where I went wrong Think about it everyday All the things that led me here All the strings that I let fray I just wanna see a change I just wanna see a change How much longer must I wait Before my seasons change
8.
Let Go 04:58
I spun it around Observed it from each and every side Conclusions I never reached No matter how far I peeked Of the things I cannot know Oh I can I will let go Tried everything I could to feel better After all, I learned Just like nature you wait your turn Of the things I cannot know Oh I can I will let go We always want to tuck it away It's what we do when we're afraid Of the places that we've been But you can only let go that which you let in Of the things I cannot know Oh I can I will let go
