I wish I'd have said sorry
When it was deserved
I don't know why I say it
Anymore but it doesn't matter now
'Cause I've found someone
And I've moved on from myself
At least that's what I say these days
Stealing things to say
When I think I'm feeling something
And it's worth taking from someone
That's said it better than I ever could
How many times
Have I said that I don't know
It's been so long and I still can't find
Anything new to say to you
I'm sorry for these things I've said
But never put to use
I guess a million apologies
Won't meet the worth of time with you
I wish I understood how to
Trust myself with someone else
But all I can do anymore
Is find some new excuse
But I'll find a way
To believe the things you way
Sometimes it's hard to accept
That there might be someone here
Worth living for
I'll find a new soundtrack
For the countless hours spent away
From the only one that matters
Help me make it through today
How many times
Can I lean on these trends
I've spent far too long avoiding
All these things I'll never fix
I'm sorry for the months I've wasted
Hiding from the truth
I guess a million apologies
Won't meet the worth of honesty

Doesn't it all sound the same
I guess we'll just never change
Something will fall in our way
No surprise
The distance is breaking me down
And the wind's all that keeps me here
And the feeling of the ground beneath me
Is all that's real
It was like the world was on fire
And left you lying on your own
Watching the sky burn above you

Cute thing
With a mermaid's voice
And a scarecrow's limbs
I'll give you what you want
If you'll only ask for more
Worry me
With your room to breathe
And your ocean's hair
You've got me where you want
Show me who you are
Spinning under
A spotlight sky
Speaking in tongues
Tell me not to cry
Keep me dry
Under rainy skies
Pale bright eyes
I just need you to say
I'll be here to stay
Because you care
Because you know me
This is more than human
Fall under a deep sea
Carry me away
Beyond the sands and waves
To leave the hurt away
We can hide away
Spinning into
Another light
Underneath the bridge
High over again
Carry me away
Beyond the sands and waves
To leave the hurt away
We can hide away

It's time for me to go
I'll talk you through your
Hardships and heartaches
And we'll wait for hours
While you lay here
Leaning into me
It's that time, full of conflict
And feelings of uncertainty
And losing track
Of the answers that I thought I'd found
I adore this city but it's bringing me down
Just like LCD when he was around
And soon enough this will all be
A faraway dream
And I promise to never forget how this feels
The sky is fading and it kills me
The thought that I'll never feel this way again
Do you remember
The time we spent getting high on
Something that we'll never know
Or care about 'cause we lived in the moment
Would you believe that was only yesterday
I'm still lost in the memory
'Cause I know that soon it will be distant
I adore this city but it's bringing me down
Just like James back when he was still around
And soon enough this will all be a faraway dream
And the sun fell but it's still hitting me
Just as hard now as it ever will
And trust me when I say that I'll love it this time while I can
Now we'll watch as
The city lights fade out from view
For the last time now
And the next time I arrive
I'll feel absent of you
The next time I arrive I'll feel absent of you

think i'm falling in deep again
back into that old state of mind
now i'm losing sleep again
how long's it been, i've been losing time
since i've come back to this dream again
words flow through my head like neon signs
take me through and among the stars and
define me all over again
don't see another wasted year
this time i feel it's going my way
maybe morning's coming soon
to call me back awake
voice is guiding me through the night
to a place where we can't be seen
such a pretty face inside
think you should hear it from me
[ghost vocals]
for the first time ever
things come together for me
maybe i'll look back
at all the uncertainty
and look in the mirror
and see who i've wanted to be
for the first time ever
it all comes together
and it's all because of you and your words
