Counting Headlights

They say life starts when you’re in your late twenties
Then why do I feel like it’s over
The joy is cheap but the pain's complementary
and doctor the patient has died from too much exposure
I wanna load the car
Sleep underneath the stars
Counting headlights from the backseat
I’ll wind the window down
And take in every sound
So this place exists in my dreams
It’s been too long since I left my apartment
Yeah it’s been about a week since I smoked
And I keep on wondering where the time went
God do I really have to grow old
I wanna load the car
Sleep underneath the stars
Counting headlights from the backseat
I’ll wind the window down
And take in every sound
So this place exists in my dreams

I put the map on the dash
And tune in the station
To a song we’ve not heard in this life
The mountain roads pass
And our destinations
on a note you left on my bedside
That said
Will you Meet me at night
Where the trees scrape the stars
And we can be lost in our own world
Until a new day starts
Time will stand still
The branches utter secrets
Forgotten by the dead long ago
And all that we built
And all of its cheapness
Will crumble until we don’t know
Who we are
Will you Meet me at night
Where the trees scrape the stars
And we can be lost in our own world
Until a new day starts
Will you Meet me at night
Where the trees scrape the stars
And we can be lost in our own world
Until a new day starts and we’re pulled apart

Do you remember when our lives
Were simpler than they are
We’d get in your old car that barely starts
Looking to mend our hearts
Still living the same dreams
Like how we’d be young eternally
Turned on the tv and we’d see
The life we thought we could lead
Our setting sun is still to come
It’ll always be you and me
I’m rich when you’re next to me
I’m rich when you’re next to me
I’m rich when you’re next to me
Do you ever think of how we’ll be
When we’re old and wrinkly
Still young inside still feel alive
Forever careless and free
Would we have money or live by the sea
The only thing I know is I'm rich
I’m rich when you’re next to me
I’m rich when you’re next to me
I’m rich when you’re next to me
I’m rich when you’re next to me
I’m rich when you’re next to me
I’m rich when you’re next to me
I’m rich when you’re next to me

Summer Ends
05:09
|

Hanging out by back the back door
Of your old suburban home
Watching the sky turn black
We’d sit in the steps and the floor
Playing music from our phones
And sharing the stories we had
As the rain fell down on the pavement
I gave myself a little bit mote time
to figure out what was yours
and what was mine
The embers burning lower and the ash is all that’s left
Every summer has to end
The memories of you fade and my mind is on the mend
And every summer has to end
The embers burning lower and the ash is all that’s left
Every summer has to end
The memories of you fade and my mind is on the mend
And every summer has to end
The embers burning lower and the ash is all that’s left
Every summer has to end
The memories of you fade and my mind is on the mend
And every summer has to end

Waking up to the sound of another alarm
Lost in thought
Staring at the veins like lightning bolts up your arm
The hum of the fridge the smell of the trees outside
The taste of stale air the feeling you’re dead inside
Yesterday fades from my memory
Sometimes our favourite moments are temporary
The dust in the air and the sound as the cars pass by
The creak in the floor the knowledge we’re gonna die
Yesterday fades from my memory
Sometimes our favourite moments are temporary
Yesterday fades from my memory
Sometimes our favourite moments are temporary
So will you stay with me here
Until we burn out or simply disappear

For once we were so carefree
As you’d catch the falling leaves
And you wound time round your finger
So we wouldn’t have to leave
Are you Getting too attached
To the feel of feet on hot tarmac
I recall the smell of pine
Dirt roads and total lack of time
I still think of you sometimes
You could feel the oceans breeze
As we threw stones at the sea
And I swore for once we could live for now
And ignore our fading dreams
I recall the smell of pine
Dirt roads and total lack of time
I still think of you sometimes

Scraped Knees
02:26

|
Pulling up weeds as we sit on the edge of the pavement
I try to keep my voice from cracking as I ask you how your day went
Sweltering summer mornings spent waiting at the bus stop
Counting up the pennies for a ticket close to your block
And I never noticed
How the sun shone through the trees
And I never noticed
How soft your breath was and the pain of scraped knees
I never thought that
No moment lasts forever
But I’ll keep on moving on to the person I’ll become when I remember what it’s like to be home
And I never noticed
How the sun shone through the trees
And I never noticed
How soft your breath was and the pain of scraped knees
I never thought that
No moment lasts forever
But I’ll keep on moving on to the person I’ll become when I remember what it’s like to be home

You thought you’d never get to be this old
And you can hear your bones screaming in the night
Is it living if you do what your told
You can’t drown those thoughts that have set mind alight
It’s unrelenting
The things were running from
We can’t redo what’s done
Escape on Route 101
The sun is setting
There’s no one to outrun
Our lives have just begun
Taking route 101
You thought you’d never get away from here
From the smell of the smoke and the taste of cheap beer
You’ll be Living year after year
Watching friends grow old and dreams disappear
It’s unrelenting
The things were running from
We can’t redo what’s done
Escape on Route 101
The sun is setting
There’s no one to outrun
Our lives have just begun
Taking route 101
It’s unrelenting
The things were running from
We can’t redo what’s done
Escape on Route 101
The sun is setting
There’s no one to outrun
Our lives have just begun
Taking route 101

Freckles

Your body lay cold on the bathroom floor
And all of your friends wished they could’ve done more
But they couldn’t find all the words to say
Let’s stick around for another day
And all of the congregation stood to sing
For something that you didn’t believe in
And what you stood for crumbled away
I’ve forgotten
The freckles on your nose
The sound of your voice
And the smell of your clothes
But in the end
We all have to go
And I hated to see you go
Somewhere you’ll hide in somebody’s mind
A version of you that you left behind
But nobody could ever know the truth
And nobody will cos nobodies you
Parts of you will never exist again
Time can be cruel when we live and we end
And none of it matters in the scheme of things
I’ve forgotten
The freckles on your nose
The sound of your voice
And the smell of your clothes
But in the end
We all have to go
And I hated to see you go
Yeah I hated to see you go

Valley Of The Giants

She packed her life into a bag and headed west
Past truck stop signs and parking lots half empty where lives intersect
A cigarette in one hand, she puts on an old cassette
Of someone singing one day we could be heroes but one day we’ll all be dead
Wouldn’t it be nice to feel like
We’re conscious in this life
Wouldn’t it be nice to feel alive

Hurricane

It’s just another night after work
You’re hitting the bars in downtown
You’ve had more beers than you can count
All of you memories start to merge
Sharing the drinks between two
As candles dim in front of you
Some people are like a hurricane
Blow through your life then out again
Our lives pass by like ships in the night
And depart
Like strangers that we were right from the start
One more place before were heading home
Running down back alleyways
Willing to see one more day
We may be together and still feel alone
Comforted by the times past
Not everything was meant to last
Some people are like a hurricane
Blow through your life then out again
Our lives pass by like ships in the night
And depart
Like strangers that we were right from the start
Some people are like a hurricane
Blow through your life then out again
Our lives pass by like ships in the night
And depart
Like strangers that we were right from the start
