25 and half-alive The years have been unkind Time is up, you've had enough Maybe I'm just in over my head again I sink deeper into myself How could I ever let you in? Time is up, you've had enough So, stay right where you are You are the early autumn air I am the ringing in your ear Don't tell me what I want to hear If you could let somebody in I want to sleep under your skin As long as you're happy, I'll stay out of the way 25, barely alive I wish I was someone else Stay right where you are You are the early autumn air I am the ringing in your ear Don't tell me what I want to hear If you could let somebody in I want to sleep under your skin As long as you're happy, I'll stay out of the way Maybe it's something we'll get through Maybe I have something to lose I'm getting further from the truth I'm getting further from you Stay right where you are You are the early autumn air I am the ringing in your ear Don't tell me what I want to hear If you could let somebody in I want to sleep under your skin

She said I'm done Putting up with these fucking songs I know are all about me Why are you never around me? You're always gone I hate when I wake up alone You're off for better weather Forget to call me from wherever Keep me around as a reminder Tie me around your little finger So you won't forget the life you left behind When you change your mind She said I'm tired of being so fucking tired Maybe it's out of our hands Are we burning at both ends? Another day, another road Another reason to leave home Well, maybe this was perfect Maybe this was never worth it Keep me around as a reminder Tie me around your little finger So you won't forget the life you left behind When you change your mind I don't need another friend You know that I have enough of them I need you to be real Not a dream, not imaginary I need something less temporary

I woke up late, the day we both laid waste To everything we built A golden city on a hill I'm sorry I slept in, it'll never happen again We'll never have this again We are who we are, Still ringing in my ears We are who we are Out of focus, but are we out of time? You could be anything you want So why would you be mine? Out of patience, good things come to those who wait Did you get crushed under the weight? A decade of hating myself, but everything ends Will we ever love again? I wish you'd say that you wished I would stay But I know you don't So you know I won't Out of focus, but are we out of time? You could be anything you want So why would you be mine? Out of patience, good things come to those who wait Did you get crushed under the weight Now there's nothing left (Are we out of patience?) But space and emptiness (Or are we out of time?) Now there's nothing left (Are we out of focus?) But space and emptiness (Or are we out of time?)

I hate the rain inside my head, and the distance between my body and your bed. I hate that I let you go sail off into the unknown. I'm no good and everyone knows it. I keep to myself and constantly show it. Do I cross your mind even for a second? I know that I don't. I hate the road that took you away from me. You used to say that I was the ground beneath your feet. I'm gonna let this happen. Bet my sanity on your reaction. I just want you back. I'm sick of always chasing you I know you hate my attitude but I just want you back. I'm sick of always chasing you I know you hate my attitude. I hate the rain inside my head, the distance to your bed pushed you away.

Open up, I wish you'd let me in Your voice inside my head Your words are sinking in Alone in bet, I sit, while you're with him Has my window closed? Is my time wearing thin? I no longer think about you I no longer have to worry about you I choke on words, never know what to say I was falling in love, How could you throw me away? I can't sleep, knowing you're not far Are you thinking of me, wherever you are? I no longer dream about you I no longer have to lie about you So, where are you now? And where do you go? It keeps up nights that I'm not taking you home I want to be yours I want you to be mine I guess it's ok, I'll get you next time I'll get you next time
