Always the Same 03:56
lyrics

I remember the time you told me that nothing stays the same Well my dear if that’s the case then which one of us is to blame? If distance is resistance and silence makes you scared We’re always gonna be falling down with the secrets that we bared And while the world keeps spinning I thought you’d still be waiting But I know sometimes these things don’t last So while you’re out there somewhere Just know I’ll always be here And I’ve still got you in my plans It’s always the same It’s always the same We want what’s bigger than us all It’s always the same It’s always the same We want what’s bigger than us all Now the curses that you left me with are starting to take hold If we were in a game of hearts I’d be raising while you fold Remember to take everything because in time I’ll be out of here If these four walls could stay at rest, they can wait till I disappear And while the world keeps spinning I thought you’d still be waiting But I know sometimes these things don’t last So while you’re out there somewhere Just know I’ll always be here And I’ve still got you in my plans It’s always the same It’s always the same We want what’s bigger than us all It’s always the same It’s always the same We want what’s bigger than us all Keep your head up and keep your eyes low Make sure there’s no mistaking And the last few steps before the door Make sure they’re worth the taking In some other season it might seem logical But for now it’s just the same old guy and a girl All those movies told me you can pause your best frame All those lied about what’s always the same It’s always the same It’s always the same We want what’s bigger than us all It’s always the same It’s always the same We want what’s bigger than us all Don’t start this fire if you’re not willing to burn I’ve got all the time in the world for you Let’s forget how they asked you to run I’ll give everything in world to you

The cold that’s built since summer’s gone Is easily missed with curtains drawn The town clears out like every year I’m still hanging around until something appears And these minor setbacks, they’ll keep us alive And these minor setbacks, they’ll keep us alive It’s been 15 years since I saw the signs And I’m running out of these hopeful rhymes I’m going back to how I was before When I knew of risks and felt so much more The wind still cuts me like the sharpest knife But I’ll face the shoreline and the drawn out nights And these minor setbacks, they’ll keep us alive And these minor setbacks, they’ll keep us alive We all fall down No passion remains But we’ll face this together And sing Paris in flames We all fall down No passion remains But we’ll face this together And sing Paris in flames We all fall down No passion remains But we’ll face this together And sing Paris in flames And these minor setbacks, they’ll keep us alive And these minor setbacks, they’ll keep us alive

The Climb 03:52
lyrics

All the songs that lead me home They don’t sing anymore for me A mess of noise and regrets Follow all that I cannot see All the whole world slows We are of highs and lows I’m too inside my head To see the wearing thread My cold hand is shaking I must’ve heard them call your name A thousand voices of a thousand strangers Know I’m not the same I know I can’t make sense of things From a long distance exchanged A thousand faces on a thousand strangers Know something has changed All the silence in the night All the lies that we recite All the times we didn’t mean forever All the falls were for the climb All the photos fade in time Nothing really lasts forever All the whole world slows We are of highs and lows I’m too inside my head To see the wearing thread All the silence in the night All the lies that we recite All the times we didn’t mean forever All the falls were for the climb All the photos fade in time Nothing really lasts forever All the silence in the night All the lies that we recite All the times we didn’t mean forever All the falls were for the climb All the photos fade in time Nothing really lasts forever

Suffocate 03:45
lyrics

Remember days getting back late? We didn’t leave anything We had no money in our pockets But we still had everything And as the last train pulled up we planned the next time Sometimes I’m still stuck like I was before Some days feels like it’s still 2004 We’ll just be wasting away until the next time When your whole world sinks and you suffocate As low as we are, we can only rise When your whole world sinks and you suffocate As low as we are, we can only rise Remember days after midnight? That’s when the real fun begun We didn’t know where we were going But we knew just how to run No one wanted to leave unless they got caught Sometimes I’m still stuck like I was before I’m still waiting on answers that I’ll choose to ignore All those stupid nights we never got caught When your whole world sinks and you suffocate As low as we are, we can only rise When your whole world sinks and you suffocate As low as we are, we can only rise I’m still who I was back then The faces get older and sure we lost a few friends But all those nights in that beat up car Those were still the best that I’ve had my far I’m still who I was back then The faces get older and sure we lost a few friends But all those nights in that beat up car Those were still the best that I’ve had my far When your whole world sinks and you suffocate As low as we are, we can only rise When your whole world sinks and you suffocate As low as we are, we can only rise

Eyes for the Summer 05:29
lyrics
buy track
This is a game we know all too well We’re made up of moments in the most fragile of shells These bodies sleep, oh these bodies sleep Just for a second I’ll think everything’s fine You fooled me by making your eyes shine These bodies sleep, oh these bodies sleep You asked me to go to Opium for Roam But your heart barely knew me by the time we got home You’ve always been a summer girl who needed to climb I swear I’d have been there, I just needed more time And I need these eyes for the summer, need I need these eyes for the summer And I need these eyes for the summer, need I need these eyes for the summer You gazed through the border and over Carolina You barely made a sound as my heart was on fire These bodies sleep, oh these bodies sleep Just like the cold at the window The cars, they made patterns as we came down low These bodies sleep, oh these bodies sleep Every single day’s been full of mistakes And I’ll take the blame if you reform the shapes I kept you in darkness, in rooms with no light While you dreamed of big cities and a future so bright And I need these eyes for the summer, need I need these eyes for the summer And I need these eyes for the summer, need I need these eyes for the summer As we landed we looked at the time It’s been slower and harder pretending we’re fine The air and the heat took hold of our faces These are the days we are put in our places Somewhere deep in Louisiana we caved And I need these eyes for the summer, need I need these eyes for the summer And I need these eyes for the summer, need I need these eyes for the summer
