Late night in the city. Oh, it's so pretty, the big bright lights of the skyline. They shine straight in your face; forget the Garden State, you'll still get drunk off of cheap wine. Build us a shrine so we remember you. Let's keep whispering sweet nothings that mean nothing. We can pretend that it's all worth something. Emotions seem petty, Always so sweaty when pressure rises too high. Eat stuff that takes you to space. There's cats all over this place. I can't tell if you're wasting my time. Build us a shrine so we remember you, but soon enough we'll say "Alexa who?" Let's keep whispering sweet nothings that mean nothing. We can pretend that it's all worth something. And I would pick you up sunflowers everyday for forever. And you can post them on your Instagram like all those other girls do. Keep it all under wraps, no one needs to know, but what's the point if I just perplex you? Let's keep whispering sweet nothings that mean nothing. We can pretend that it's all worth something. Let's keep whispering sweet nothings that mean nothing. We can pretend that it's all worth something.

Well if you're happy then I'm happy, we can leave it at that. Cause I'd hate to make something out of nothing without having the facts. All the things that I have lost this year, and all the things that I have gained evens me out. It freaks me out, it freaks me out. I wanna move somewhere that I have never been before. I think sometimes change is for the better, and you're sending me signals I can't ignore. I've spent the last 30 minutes staring my face down in a mirror. How much longer can I go? Well guess what. I'm starting to find my way through this life. And if you think of leaving me tonight, well I just don't know what I'll do. Well I just don't know what I'll do. I cut you open and I can't stitch you back up. Won't have to worry about this key that you call trust. Cause it's hard to find. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make you mine. Well if you're happy then I'm happy, won't have to stitch you back up. We can sip some coffee on the couch, just air out your cuts. All the things that I have lost this year, and all the things that I have gained evens me out, it freaks me out. It freaks me out.

Let Go 02:06
Burn my tongue while you patiently take a sip of your coffee. Tell me things that I want to hear so you put white lies in my ear. Took some stones and wrote "laid to rest" 'cause you think it's for the best. I still keep holding on to this with the grip of your pursed lips. I can't let go.

I hear her whisper in my ear that she don't get it. The funny thing is, you just don't have to. Cause recently I've regretted everything at once. So I will sit with my hands underneath my legs and hope to god that I can get myself out of this mess. She said turn this car around. I'm going home. I don't wanna do it, but I always listen. That's my fatal flaw. My god damn achilles heel. So if you'd like to listen this time around I'll be right here. I'll be right here. Turn this car around. Let me be alone. Call me late at night, I'll be scared to pick up the phone. Cause I'm the one who hides from everything I've done. And you are left to feel your way out of this rut. I'm scared to be alone in this house that haunts me daily. I try to run and hide, but my legs seem to be failing. Give me a bad mark, but not poor enough to strike me down. I say I want to believe, but the answers are hard to be found. Show me that you love me, kiss me with your eyes closed.

I haven't talked to you since last year. And even though it's January it's been a long time, but why are you reaching out now? Even though I'm anxious I should play it cool somehow. I hope everything is going fine. Ever since we graduated you've been hard to find. And I know college is getting to you in the worst way so you go out and party on the weekdays to compensate. I remember now you've always been like that while I stood idly by feeling like crap 'cause speaking would only make us angry at ourselves. So we'd forget all about it and just deal with what we dealt. Things were easier when we would lay in bed and watch sad videos that would make us laugh instead. And your best friend never liked me anyway. Now she's halfway 'cross the country, but you're "still together always". You're all alone. Stand by your phone; I am here and I will listen. It's been weeks since we last talked, would it be weird if I called out of the blue? Do I need an excuse? I just miss you. I just miss you.

Jonas 03:43
The proudest parents prodigies are slipping in the wrong the direction, and I can't wait around to pick them back up anymore. I walk out my front door, I feel the cold air hit my throat. I've had this cough for months. I'll walk you back home. I promise I will get you there safely. Can't promise much for myself though. I haven't really been me lately. The footprints that we made in the snow just minutes before. They're all gone. Guess what you make don't last forever. Well can we tell forever, "so long". All my blinds are broken. Guess I can't hide behind them anymore. Look at me when I close my eyes. Can you see this passion? It's hard to describe. I'll walk you back home. I promise I will get you there safely. Can't promise much for myself though. I haven't really been me lately. I'll walk you home tonight. And I will get you back safely. I'll be myself though. And you will get everything that you deserve.
