1.
Collect all of my tears in a mason jar Leave them in the back of your brand new car Doesn't really matter just who you are Because you'll never really see me again Remember sitting under our tree Looking out talking about who we'll be There was something that I wanted to ask you But I don't think I can remember it
2.
Dive 04:18
We used to have fun But you went off the deep end Swimming too far out I'll send David Hasselhoff to meet you On the same island from castaway But you'll have nicer shoes I can't be anything other Than what I am So take your neurotic tendencies And shove them We used to stay out Late past my curfew Thought we'd never get caught Until my mom locked the window From the inside We sat in your toyota all night Take a dive In the shallow end Stay alive You owe me that Corner of your backyard Staring up at the sky Thought you'd never ask Thought you'd never try
3.
Driver's Ed 04:19
I'm on a changing spectrum You're just never on the same wavelength There is no experiment to fix it No theorem to change it Your science degree means nothing to me I don't want to listen to your thoughts or feelings Night driving is so different Please practice with your parents We could be so different But please don't tell your parents I didn't mean to hurt you Your check is in the mail Signed, sealed, delivered So please stop calling me I hate the sound of my ringtone
4.
Sugar Coated 03:18
Sugar Coated Suggestions To meet your friends Never did get to Philly The night was long But we traveled on Down the highways The night was dark Do you see your mom every other sunday still? Skipped math homework, never was good at calculus We are going through the motions Let's make this routine a good one Scratched out Drawn up again Looked out the window Couldn't see through the blinds So I just shut them Time to sleep again Couldn't pay rent They shut the lights off I'll sleep on your porch until sunrise We are going through the motions Let's make this routine a good one
5.
Keep On 05:02
Who said giving in was giving up? Got a lot shit keeping me down Not a lot to prove so there's nothing left to lose No choice but to get over it I'll stay resilient in the face of everything keeping me down You're no saving grace, I can tell by the look on your face A devil in disguise, or someone who wishes I would just I'll stay only cuz there's nowhere else to go But don't think for a minute, I'l call this place home I'll stay resilient in the face of everything keeping me down You're no saving grace, I can tell by the look on your face A devil in disguise, or someone who wishes I would just Keep on, or stop trying altogether I'll stay resilient in the face of everything keeping me down
6.
Cold 02:58
Melt into the couch Couldn't find the tv remote Never take my iced tea with ice cubes You know you can never be too cold Parents ask me all these questions "what are you gonna do with your life?" Stare right back plainly at them Tell them I'm already in overdrive I'm looking for something that resembles something else Go and park my car and contemplate for hours Your idea of time is like an ordinary plane Like a line graph with no real loss or gain Tried to climb a fence but fell down I think that I just had a heart attack Been running from all my problems I hope in time that they won't come back
