[Verse 1]
Oh I can find the words
Oh I can be mature
Oh can I be so sure
Oh I can search the world
Oh I can find a girl
Oh but it’s April 1st
[Chorus]
Well I’ve been thinking that your keen and you oughta know better than me
But maybe you could be the dean and the letters on my sweater could mean
Something on the books that I really shoulda known
Transfer all my credits get the debtors on the phone
I can be the canvas You can be the Van Gogh
[Verse 2]
Oh I can find the words
Oh I can be mature
Oh can I be so sure
Oh I can search the world
Oh I can find a girl
Oh but it’s April 1st
[Chorus]
Well I’ve been thinking that your keen and you oughta know better than me
But maybe you could be the dean and the letters on my sweater could mean
Something on the books that I really shoulda known
Transfer all my credits get the debtors on the phone
I can be the canvas You can be the Van Gogh
(I can be the canvas you can be the Van Gogh)
[Bridge]
Oh I can search the world
Oh I can find a girl
[Chorus]
Well I’ve been thinking that your keen and you oughta know better than me
But maybe you could be the dean and the letters on my sweater could mean
Something on the books that I really shoulda known

(I can be the canvas you can be the Van Gogh)

ghost me

[Verse 1]
You text my phone and give me good advice
But I'm still lying here awake at night
'Cause I know me, I know me
I should just go back to sleep and ghost me
[Verse 2]
Then the morning comes, it's all the same
The words are echoing inside my brain
It's not low key, I know me (Know me)
Maybe I'll go back to sleep and ghost me
[Chorus]
I've been here for sure
Been left on read and then you gently close the door
It's nothing personal, but I've met me before
Met me before, yeah, I’ve met me before
[Verse 3]
The screen keeps lighting up inside my phone (Lighting up inside my phone)
Reebok keeps on sending coupon codes
'Cause I know me, I'm low-key (Low-key)
Maybe I'll go back to sleep and ghost me
[Chorus]
I've been here for sure
Been left on read and then you gently close the door
It's nothing personal, but I've met me before
Met me before, yeah, I've met me before
I've been here for sure
Been left on read and then you gently close the door
It's nothing personal, but I've met me before
Met me before, yeah, I've met me before
[Bridge]
Hey it's me
Uh, just leaving you another message so uh
Guess this is the message
Uh, just call me back when you get a chance
My phone number is, um...
Hold on, I wrote it down somewhere
[Chorus]
I've been here for sure
Been left on read and then you gently close the door
It's nothing personal, but I've met me before
Met me before, yeah, I've met me before
I've been here for sure
Been left on read and then you gently close the door
It's nothing personal, but I've met me before
Met me before, yeah, I've met me before

looking back

[Verse 1]
Toe to toe
You want me to relive it all
Like fighting on the telephone but I'm not down for that
On the coast
Of what I never lived before
Come closer let me see it all
Before these feelings pass
[Pre-Chorus]
So close but far away from me
The vision past what I can see
So close but far away from me
[Chorus]
Maybe I believe in something
It's all I've ever known and I can depend
And I know the standard pretense
But looking back I know I'll never be alone again
[Verse 2]
Toe to toe
It's all that we've ever known
And I'm just trying to make sense of your kind
[Chorus]
Maybe I believe in something
It's all I've ever known and I can depend
And I know the standard pretense
But looking back I know I'll never be alone again
[Pre-Chorus]
So close but far away from me
The vision past what I can see
So close but far away from me
[Chorus]
Maybe I believe in something
It's all I've ever known and I can depend
And I know the standard pretense
But looking back I know I'll never be alone again

[Verse]
Locked in a painting
Of landscapes, wastelands
Have I been forsaken by Van Gogh
I swear the time keeps moving
Cause my clocks are all
Making conversation on my wall
But tell me when can I see you
[Chorus]
So won′t you hold onto me now
Like water lingers in the clouds
Hoping we'll never hit the ground
Won′t you hold on
Won't you hold on
[Verse 2]
Can you hear my heart still beating
To the song you play on every string
And I keep on turning up my headphones
[Chorus]
So won't you hold onto me now
Like water lingers in the clouds
Hoping we′ll never hit the ground
Won′t you hold on (Hold on, Hold on)
Lost in the blur of the midnight
Nothing's keeping me from you this time
So won′t you hold onto me tight
Won't you hold on (Hold on, Hold on)
Won′t you hold on (Won′t you hold on)
Won′t you hold on (Won′t you hold on)
Won′t you hold on (Won′t you hold on)
Won′t you hold on (Hold on, Hold on)
(Won′t you hold on)
So won't you hold onto me now (Won′t you hold on)
Like water lingers in the clouds (Won′t you hold on)
Hoping we′ll never hit the ground
Won't you hold on (Hold on, Hold on)
Won't you hold on (Hold on, Hold on)
(Won′t you hold on, Hold on, Hold on)
(Won′t you hold on, Hold on, Hold on)

i left my coat
02:14
|

[Chorus]
It’s like I left my coat wide open in the pouring rain
Running careless to your clutches as the flood awaits
The typical erosion of a castaway
It’s like I left my coat wide open in the pouring rain
[Verse]
Throwing rocks at your window
And hearing knocks at an open door
Just to live what you’ve been through
Now the past got a hold no more
I know you say that you want me
Just looking back I know we’ve been hear before
And I’ve expressed that you don’t own me
Just take a gander at the rear view lore
[Chorus]
It’s like I left my coat wide open in the pouring rain
Running careless to your clutches as the flood awaits
The typical erosion of a castaway
It’s like I left my coat wide open in the pouring rain

easier for you

[Verse]
You were different than anyone else
Better yet you were yourself
Just a look and the days would pass on along
[Pre-Chorus]
I think back to the words you said
The cups still black now my eyes are red
A picture phone for you and me
But still only the memories
[Chorus]
All I know is I miss holding you close
The kind of close we used to be
And I pray, I pray that yesterday
Was easier for you than me
Easier for you
[Verse 2]
Just A little flicker and the time came then
A pair of green eyes and mine met
Just a look and the days would pass on along
[Pre-Chorus]
I think back to the words you said
The cups still black now my eyes are red
A picture phone for you and me
But still only the memories
[Chorus]
All I know is I miss holding you close
The kind of close we used to be
And I pray, I pray that yesterday
Was easier for you than me
Easier for you
Easier for you
Easier for you
[Solo]
[Outro]
Easier for you
Easier for you
Easier for you
Easier for you
Easier for you
Easier for you
Easier for you
Easier for you
Easier for you
You were different than anyone else
Better yet you were yourself

it's all wrong
03:33
|

[Verse 1]
Who cares what we do
Our preacher's shoes
Are selling views (Ahh)
Charity events
To pay for jets
And make the news (Ahh Ahh)
And don't forget
If you're gonna come
Everybody's cool (Ahh... IT'S ALL WRONG)
Referencing the Book
To fit the view
We're selling you (Ahh Ahh)
[Verse 2]
Are there any rules?
They say to do
Just what we wanna do
(I think about it and I'm nervous
I don't want to regret)
Shining all the lights
To set the vibe
As crowds come through (Ahh Ahh)
Should I make amends?
Instead of friends
And happy ends (IT'S ALL WRONG)
What do I have to prove?
Am I scared to lose
All that I knew
(I think about it and I'm nervous
I don't wanna regret)
[Chorus]
I don't know
Lets go back to the basics
No you don't need to be original
We just need to go a little deeper
Go flipping through the pages
What's for real
Don't let 'em try to tell you what to feel
You don't need to be original
O-original O-original
[Verse 3]
Configure the truth
Misunderstood
But it's all good
Why should I pretend
The start, the end
But it's all true (I think about it)
Becoming self defense
A game of chess
But no offense
(Cause I don't wanna regret
IT'S ALL WRONG)
It's all just pretense
At our own expense
What'd we expect
(I think about it and I'm nervous
I don't wanna regret)
[Chorus]
I don't know
Lets go back to the basics
No you don't need to be original
We just need to go a little deeper
Go flipping through the pages
What's for real
Don't let 'em try to tell you what to feel
You don't need to be original
O-original O-original
[Post-Chorus]
Go flipping through the pages
What's for real
Don't let 'em try to tell you what to feel
It's All Wrong

[Verse]
Headlights in my eyes, glisten in red
Incoming night,
I’m passing by all the words you said
[Pre-Chorus]
And all the times,
Back when my life was hollow with regret
You weren’t distant, You weren’t missing
No, You never left
[Verse 2]
Stop signs and “wonder why’s” inside my head
Cause I’ve denied and put aside
Yet You called me friend
[Pre-Chorus]
And all the times,
Back when my life was hollow with regret
You weren’t distant, You weren’t missing
No, You never left
[Chorus]
But if you never fall you never know
A perfect stranger waiting, catching all
And if you couldn’t see the light before
You’ll keep on running to the open door
[Post-Chorus]
Headlights in my eyes
Looking back I know I’ll never be alone again
Headlights in my eyes
Let’s go back to the basics
Headlights in my eyes
Mr. Slim, Mr. Slim
Headlights in my eyes
I should just go back to sleep and ghost me
