Summer Dress

I got cloudy eyes
And I ain't looking past tonight
And I'm planning
Some bad decisions
And if you join me
There's one condition
That we won't speak in the morning
Won't you stay the night
We'll find a way for us to pass the time
And you can tell me all the things you want
And I'll show you what I think you mean
I'll slip you from your Summer dress
As I curse your name between my sheets
Aaooh oh we sing in bed
Aaooh oh we messed up bad
But that's alright
Tomorrow night
We'll come and go without a sound
'Cause we won't be speaking in the morning
When we're alone
With the lights low
The doors all shut
Time slows down
And picks back up
'Cause when everything you think you want
Can't compete with what I need
I'll slip you from your summer dress
As I curse myself between my sheets
Aaooh oh we sing in bed
Aaooh oh we messed up bad
But that's alright
Tomorrow night
We'll come and go without a sound
'Cause we won't be speaking
We won't be speaking
No we won't be speaking at all
Aaooh oh we sing in bed
Aaooh oh we messed up bad
But that's alright
Tomorrow night
We'll come and go without a sound
'Cause we won't be speaking in the morning

The Weight
06:54

I was looking for answers
With my telescope in hand
Surmising your reasons
Hidden in your parting glance
Left only with questions
And the drugs I choose to take
A quiet reminder that I am
Not my brother's mistakes
And this weight is so heavy
It keeps me down
It's got me running figures
And drawing pictures
It's got me searching for a plan
But I don't have a steady hand
'Cause I don't have a steady hand

Myopia

I, I want to know
What's caught
Between me and the glow
My eyes
Lose focus all the time
The colors bend and coalesce
Into the light
And I can't see a single thing
'Cause I got this problem
Where I can't see anything other than
What's right in front of me
I can't wait to believe
In the words that I'm singing
I long to be certain
Not for your sake
But for mine
And I, I wanna fight
I wanna travel to deep space
Unravel the strings of time
And I don't know where I am going
But I know where I wanna be
And I'm stuck in the in-between
'Cause I got this problem
Where I can't see anything other than
What's right in front of me
I can't wait to believe
In the words that I'm singing
I long to be certain
Not for your sake
But for mine

Gambler/Dancer

Keep your eyes on the road
She said
I'm too young to die
I'm not ready yet
I miss my old friends
Blue and red above your bed
Praying to God and gauze
Last rites on Thursday nights
And she said
I wish that I'd become a dancer
Spinning my way 'cross the stars
I wish that I'd been a believer
I wish you'd been around from the start
Streetlights pass by one by one
I try counting out loud
Last dance in this ambulance
And I said
I wish that I'd become a gambler
Pressing my luck for the night
I wish that I'd been a believer
I wish that I'd stayed in the fight
'Cause I've been down
Down on my Luck
And I've been dealt
Another bad hand
I'm folding down again
Trying to live with my sins
'Cause I've been
Shaking hands with the devil
On a Friday night
And I've been
Sleepless 'til the morning
Tryna lose my mind
And on Saturday
We'll do it all again
'Cause I've been
Shaking hands with the devil
Tryna make some new friends
Tryna make some new friends

Snowfall

I gotta go
I gotta beat out the snow
'Cause I should've been home
Over an hour ago
And your taste on my lips
I made up in my head
'Cause I haven't kissed you yet
And it's not a safe bet
On my way home
As the snow coats the roads
I hear a song soft and low
From an old radio
And it's simple and true
And hard to define
But it's still on my mind
You're still on my mind
And I forget the words
To the song that reminds me of you
Still I sing Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
