Roam Error

writing these feelings down for you to forget
swearing him off to suppress your regret
you think you gave him everything
but that’s the reason you’re suffering
we can’t always have it our way
the stars align darling but not in a day
looking at places where you thought you’d find
that lover who would understand your mind
don’t keep on wasting your time
longing for boys with their petty clever lines
when did you lose your sight?
on the concrete you’ve fallen hard,
with no maps to guide you, i’d get lost too
reading the pages of your memories
from blots and creases of your old diary
that’s when you realized what was real
you had to die just to feel

Sunner

|
|||
|
days pass slowly through a haze
waiting for the weekend
imagine floating across the ocean
but i’m stuck, when’s my promotion?
summer, where are you?
buildings stifle my brain
salty seashores keep me sane
but look where i am
making a fool of myself
summer, come faster
i don’t know what to do
i hate my job
i miss my view
of the sun
of you

Strange Things
03:43
|
|||
|
what i used to see when i was alone
were lovers coming and going within my sight
and i did mind
then i got tired of being alone
so i placed my fears aside and went home with her
on a friday night
but i can’t decide if it’s wrong or right
‘cause i’m not used to staying the night
so i’m sorry, i’m sorry
now that i have learned from our mistake
i have to be a stranger to you
but that’s alright
this is goodbye

Trying Too Hard
04:18
|
|||
|
stranded in time
lost on the screen
slowly losing high
was i out of line?
tracing the steps
advice is something unnecessary
or so i thought
now scenes of reactions come to mind
was it something i said?
hurting you was never meant
was it something i said?
just don’t say goodnight….
there’s a space between us
but i fear that’s just me trying too hard
to be a part of your heart
was it something i said?
hurting you was never meant
was it something i said?
offending you was never meant
was it something i said?
hurting you was never meant
was it something i said?
maybe we were never meant
was it something i said?
hurting you was never meant
was it something i said?
just don’t say goodnight

Making Friends
03:49
|
|||
|
i don’t know how to make friends
it always almost (almost always??) finds an end
when affection blurs intentions, forcing useless confessions
i’m not entirely disinterested, but what are you doing?
you like things that i like, but that’s just pure coincidence
i don’t know how to be a friend
i tend to leave when there’s nothing there
are we talking out of boredom?
or are we just lonely?
we’re not entirely invested because we don’t have to be
or am i just assuming?
‘cause that’s what i always do.

Fear of Change
02:59
|
|||
|
i have gone far enough to the ends of my own world
i saw myself at a loss not knowing where i was going
but there’s a reason and i’m not ready to tell because i swear it won’t sound good
and i can’t bear to see you leave even though you should
did i waste all your time?
five years i threw away, how will i ever be fine?
i know it’s too late and i won’t lie again to save us from regret
of staying out of fear of facing change

Until
04:04
|
|||
|
sometimes i can’t ask you why
maybe it’s just a matter of time
why can’t we just talk this out
but i’d be lying if i said let’s stop
the waves were pulling us together
despite the walls that we’ve built
can’t we just stay a bit longer
until the sun comes up
until i know you a little better
why do these things happen to me
i want you, you want me, but fuck that
i feel like i’m julian and you’re courtney love
“meet me in the bathroom”, that’s what she said
but i mind, it’s true i mind
you’re not trashy, which is why i fear giving in
‘cause loving you is not part of the plan
maybe this is for the best
timing, circumstances, situations
have a funny way of presenting themselves
we didn’t want to ruin it
but we can’t say we didn’t want it
can i know you a little better?
|

8. |

|
in many ways, i still feel the same
mind my mind, it’s all over the place
but my eyes stay where you are, all the time
on my highs, stay where you are,
i’ll be right there
i’ve gone off track, couldn’t find my way
missed the exit signs along this crooked highway
losing grip of my fate, i knew where i was
but letting you slip away, i wouldn’t dare

What Went Wrong
04:14
|
|||
|
well look how this turned out for the both of us
decided to stay forgetting what went wrong
when you came along it wasn’t easy too
i tried to play it cool but i don’t know
it’s all my fault
i can’t blame anyone else
we don’t have to be so different
i might’ve said too much
i’m sorry for acting on my selfishness
being too caught up on my loneliness
chorus
when the sun goes down
i drown myself
when you’re not around
i lose my consciousness
chorus

If That's What You Want
04:04
|
|||
|
how will I reset everything i never meant
it’s impossible, unforgettable
i’m slaving for better days
remember our talk from yesterday
filled with empty phrases to cover up the silence
“i can’t think straight; let me be”
“if that’s what you want”
exit,
i’m looking for an exit
holding on seems so pointless now
forgive me
it was never your fault
i’m used to being alone
you can fool me
you’re free to fool me anytime
you’re free to fool me if you want
don’t be willing to wait too long
you know i won’t be there
don’t be willing to wait too long
i can’t be your lover anymore

On My Own
07:22
|
|||
|
so long my friend
i knew you well
the doors are open
but i can’t seem to set you free
i’m not looking for someone else
i’m just trying to look for myself
i need to do this on my own
but i hope you’ll be there watching
it won’t be easy for the both of us
but i’m sure you’ll do fine
i’m not looking for someone else
i’m just trying to look for myself
|
||||
12. |
||||
|
i’m not my best self right now
i know it’s just a test
my babe just left for reasons i can explain
but for what purpose?
can i flush it down into the deepest holes of my heart?
although, i do believe at some point
that in our time together, we can’t be too far apart
it’s heavy i know, the burden’s just too much
and i still end up thinking, “why did let go?”
