Way to Be a Stranger

Well I’ve never been alone for this long
I’ve never had this much caffeine
And all of this down time’s got me thinking
And I don’t even know what it means
Every late night and every shitty dream
Has been about you these past few weeks
And maybe you’re the reason that it’s 3
And I’ve been drinking
But you don’t even know what that means
Are you still with me?
Are you still there?
I was here a minute ago
But now I’m out the window
If you know what I mean
As a matter of fact
You’re all I have
This is the life that you want to lead
But you’re not the clothes you wear
Or your brand new hair
You’re just the you you’ve always been
But now you’re too drunk to notice
Every time I close my eyes
I see your face staring at mine
Your fragile smile and beady eyes
Are you still with me?
Are you still there?
I was here a minute ago
But now I’m out the window
If you know what I mean
As a matter of fact
This is all I have
And you won’t believe
The things that have happened to me
The past few weeks
And Four Year Strong on the radio
Is the only thing I need to feel at home
I want to get inspired
I want to feel uncomfortable
I want the opportunity to fail so I can take it
And abuse it like a child
I want to fail, to stumble and fall
I want every one I know to feel uncomfortable

It Was You

Well tonight
She's got me feeling like I’m some kind
Of invincible
And me and all my friends
We're going out
But when it ends
I go home
Shed my clothes
Lay in bed
All alone
But I've never had it so bad
As since you left
Everything was so different then
Thought that I might end up buried
Another twenty-something’s marriage
And I never thought I’d be around to see the sun rise with someone new
A soft reflection in her eyes, and it said
I think we shared a profile picture back in high school
We though we were so cool
We didn’t know it
But we got older
And I come home
And we go out
We get drinks
And laugh about
Tinder in the suburbs
And that piece of trash
That you used to date back then
We were always something closer than the nights here when it’s colder
And I meant it when I said that I
Could be your nameless ranger if you’d just let me inside
I would be here every night if you would just let me inside
She’s still holding on to everything she did in high school
All those pictures she took
She doesn’t want to make a mess, she just wants to be there to capture it
He’s still running away from you and his past
Packed it up and left you to sort through that
And you and I well we just met
Even though we’ve known each other for a long time
I think we could last

Trash

If you’re gonna complain bout the way that he treats you
Then you can’t go on treating me like trash
I know how you feel, it’s abundantly clear
With each brand new day that might pass
I’ll spare you the doubt
Drink away all the problems that have
Haunted your hollow young bones
Cause when you’re 22, not a lot you can do
But I hope that these symptoms don’t last
I think that you might want to be left alone
But tonight I cannot bear the thought
On the other end he’s breathing
Spewing words that you’re eating
And here in Columbus I’m not
We drink from the bottle
Run away from these problems
A marathon of sorting things out
I just hope by the morning
You might snap me your story
And you don’t leave my hopes out to drown
If you’re gonna complain bout the way that he treats you
Then you can’t go on treating me like trash

Shifting my weight back and forth
From my left foot to my right
I’ve been watching friends for 3 years
And seeing what they’ve done with life
Well I’ve been waiting
And I’ve been thinking
Maybe this is not for me
The college life sounded pretty nice
But there’s more out there for me
And you took all the trash bags out of our apartment
But you found plenty of space to leave your crap
Go on ahead
I’ll give you this one
I’m tired of your dirty looks
And your dirty hands
Cause the way the wind keeps hitting me
Is the way that feels most planned
Go on ahead
I woke up, I did the same thing
That I did the day before
But I was too nervous to say the right thing
There’s something about seeing things
The way that they’re supposed to be
Following scribbled maps of geometry
It’s just another situation that we’ve found ourselves in
So why don’t you bring a friend and we can see how this ends?
And you took all the trash bags out of our apartment
But you found plenty of space to leave your crap
Go on ahead
I’ll give you this one
I’m tired of your dirty looks
And your dirty hands
Cause the way the wind keeps hitting me
Is the way that feels most planned
Go on ahead
Well I’ve been waiting
And I’ve been sitting
Nearly all day by the phone
And I’ve been waiting
No I’ve been wishing
That you’d leave me alone
Every moment that I’m sitting here
Is one I can’t get back
So maybe just get back to me
Or maybe just say that

Relate to me
Tell me anything to help me believe
Give me space
But only from anything that keeps me from sleep
Well we've got a lot to do
It's always a mess with you
I don't expect you to choose
What comes next
Well lately I've been looking for a good friend
In proper time I think you could be him
There's a light that always goes out
In my head held
High like a house
We light up
And then we fall down
Let's stay indoors
Watch horror movies all day
Some slasher flick straight from the eighties
The ones where the bad guys might win
They give up, and then we give in
Piled high the body counts rise
As I feel like I'm dying tonight
