COMPLETE MESS

Caught up in Heaven, but your Heaven ain't the same
And I've never been a saint, have I?
This evanescence always fleeting like a flame
But I'm never one to change, am I?
Call it a lesson when I feel you slide away
And I'm missing out on half my life

Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess

Hang on to moments like they'll never drift away
'Cause you'll never get to say goodbye
I ask no questions as your colors take their hold
As my darkness turns to gold inside
I learned my lesson when I felt you slip away
And I'm missing out on half my life

Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess

(You make me a complete mess)
(You make me a complete mess)

Caught up in Heaven but your Heaven ain't the same
But I've never been a saint, have I?

Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete (you make me complete)
You make me a complete mess
Oh, you make me complete (you make me complete)
You make me complete (make me complete)
You make me a complete mess

Easy For You To Say

I see it in moments, it's comin' in waves
A sunrise in Sydney that's burnin' for days
But I'm headstrong and stubborn and stuck in my ways
With every tomorrow, keep turnin' the page
A youth that was stolen and filled with mistakes
I turned all around, looked for someone to blame
But I'm overdramatic and drenched in my pain
I know that you saw it all over my face

Last night, I lied
I looked you in the eyes
I'm scared to find
A piece of peace of mind
I swear to you
Each and every time
I'll try and change my ways

Easy for you to say
Harder for me to take
This nostalgia in my bones
Why can't I forget it?
Easy for you to say
Harder for me to take
This nostalgia in my bones
Why can't I forget it?
Easy for you to say

I feel it in moments, this semblance of free
Between all the gaspin', I finally breathe
So I hold on so tightly in times that I see
Someone with striking resemblance to me
A darkness that holds me and loves when I bleed
It locks all the doors and then hides all the keys
Wish someone had told me what I couldn't see
A glimmer of hope that was starin' at me

Last night, I lied
I looked you in the eyes
I'm scared to find
A piece of peace of mind
I swear to you
Each and every time
I'll try and change my ways

Easy for you to say
Harder for me to take
This nostalgia in my bones
Why can't I forget it?
Easy for you to say
Harder for me to take
This nostalgia in my bones
Why can't I forget it?
Easy for you to say

Last night, I lied
I looked you in the eyes
I'm scared to find
A piece of peace of mind
I swear to you
Each and every time
I'll try and change my ways

Easy for you to say
Harder for me to take
This nostalgia in my bones
Why can't I forget it?
Easy for you to say
Harder for me to take
This nostalgia in my bones
Why can't I forget it?
Easy for you to say

This nostalgia in my bones
Why can't I forget it?
Easy for you to say
This nostalgia in my bones
Easy for you

Bad Omens

So this is where I am
Hangin' on a feelin'
Driving through the valley just to chase the pain again
So this is where we are
I should've seen it comin'
Every time you say, "Goodbye," I say, "Hello" again

I cried in your dark brown eyes for the thousandth time
Did you love somebody?
I died when you left that night for the thousandth time
'Cause you love somebody else
I tried to stop the door as it was closin', it was closin'
Can't help the way I keep ignorin' every omen, every omen
Heaven knows I should let go
It's nothin' that I don't already know

I kiss you on your neck (oh-na-na)
You were starin' at the ceiling (oh-na-na)
I shoulda known right then and there you were a runaway (oh-na-na)
Oh, just make it go away (oh-na-na)
Can you help me rearrange it? (Oh-na-na)
I'm still makin' sense of havin' nothin' left to say (oh-na-na)

I cried in your dark brown eyes for the thousandth time
Did you love somebody?
I died when you left that night for the thousandth time
'Cause you love somebody else
I tried to stop the door as it was closin', it was closin'
Can't help the way I keep ignorin' every omen, every omen
Heaven knows I should let go
It's nothin' that I don't already know

We go 'round again, you jump back in bed
That's what you do when you love somebody
These bad omens, I look right through them
That's what you do when you love somebody
We go 'round again, we jump back in bed
That's what you do when you love somebody
These bad omens, I look right through them
That's what you do when you love somebody

Else (when you love somebody)
Else (when you love somebody)

Me Myself & I

I guess, I guess I got what I wanted
I never knew what I needed, leave it
Up to me to f*ck it up without a good reason
I know, I know that it was my own fault
I never picked up that phone call, oh, Lord
All these broke hearts but mine's the one bleedin'

Bullshit, I feed myself
Me and my selfish appetite
I did not need your help
Now it's just me, myself and I
La la lie, la la lie, la lie lie
Now it's just me, myself and I
La la lie, la la lie, la lie lie
Now it's just me, myself and

Take My Hand

A painted heart on a sidewalk
A bleeding sun on a silver screen
I feel my ego when I talk
Lost myself in the in between

Lustful eyes filled with love now
Sending in every cavalry
A few more souls on the bus now
Shut my eyes right at seventeen

Always hits me
I'm always shifting

Take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)

Told myself maybe someday
I'd fall down from the centerpiece
I treat my mind like an ashtray
I owe you an apology

Breaking plans on a Sunday
With myself maybe make some peace
I forgot every birthday
Open eyes right at twenty-three

Always hits me, yeah
I'm always shifting

Take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)

Pick apart all of the pieces, well, I'm running out of time
Iron out all of the creases and just hang it out to dry
Shallow hearts for shallow minds that ache to be alive
You fall apart and redefine what keeps you up at night

Oh, take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand just as you're losing yourself again
Look in the mirror

Take my hand, now and forever
Where I stand, how can you live and let die?
Young man, look in the mirror
Take my hand and don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)
Don't you ever let go
(Take my hand, now and forever)
(Take my hand, now and forever)

CAROUSEL

I built it from the ground up just to watch me burn it down
I gotta keep the party goin', ain't no fadin' out
My life's just a carousel spinnin' around
I'd pay again just to keep from stoppin' it now
I try to keep my head above the ocean of my doubt
I'm feeling like a dreamer, don't ya try to wake me now
My life's just a carousel spinnin' around
I'd pay again just to keep from stoppin' it now

Lookin' for myself in the passenger's side
Drivin' to the edge 'til I get this right
Tryna find the city with the brightest sky
How you gonna get there, get there?
Always lookin' back and I don't know why
Something always there in the back of my mind
Everybody's livin' on a one-way ride
How you gonna get there, get there?

I feel like I'm a tiger in the circus, breathe again
Every time I jump it's gettin' higher, never ends
Oh, my life's just a carousel spinnin' around
I'd pay again just to keep from stoppin' it now

Lookin' for myself in the passenger's side
Drivin' to the edge 'til I get this right
Tryna find the city with the brightest sky
How you gonna get there, get there?
Always lookin' back and I don't know why
Something always there in the back of my mind
Everybody's livin' on a one-way ride
How you gonna get there, get there?

(Ah, ah)
My life's just a carousel spinnin' around
I'd pay again just to keep from stoppin' it now
My life's just a carousel spinnin' around
I'd pay again just to keep from stoppin' it now

Older

I don't wanna get older
Without your head on my shoulder
On the day that you leave me
I'll forever be bleeding love

As forever comes closer
Hope the world will spin slower
I don't wanna get older
I don't wanna get older

Stare at the photograph
Suddenly takes me back
The promises roll off your breath
In your cocaine colored wedding dress

Lost in the day to day
You kiss away the pain
Oh, every time you twist my lips
My dear devoted delicate

It's not worth it if I lose my one way ticket for two
Just me
Just you

I don't wanna get older
Without your head on my shoulder
On the day that you leave me
I'll forever be bleeding love

As forever comes closer
Hope the world will spin slower
I don't wanna get older
I don't wanna get older

Our love is tailor made
But we let the edges fade
Your wicked smile it says it all
Mixed with my sad and cynical, mm

No tragedy at the end
No nothing Shakespearean
It all comes flooding back again
My dear devoted delicate

It's not worth it if I lose my one way ticket for two
Just me
Just you

I don't wanna get older
Without your head on my shoulder
On the day that you leave me
I'll forever be bleeding love

As forever comes closer
Hope the world will spin slower
I don't wanna get older
I don't wanna get older

HAZE

I put on the suit, I put on the tie
And if I'm with you, I'll never die
Beautiful moment in time that comes and floats away
And when I open my eyes, I hope to see your face

Got me feelin' alright when the feeling's all gone
Got me feelin' uptight every moment you're gone
Got a piece of your mind and I'm gonna hold on
It's a hell of a ride (lovin' you)
Got me feelin' alright when the feeling's all gone
Got me feelin' uptight every moment you're gone
Got a piece of your mind and I'm gonna hold on
It's a hell of a ride (lovin' you)

When I moved to California, when I lived with three lil' boys
When I didn't even know ya, when I was givin' up
Ventura was a ghost town, the city broke my heart, heart
I watched the weeks fly by, I'm by myself and you're not there
No matter how long, I still care
And when you pick me up, now I don't have to play pretend
And I am human once again

Got me feelin' alright when the feeling's all gone
Got me feelin' uptight every moment you're gone
Got a piece of your mind and I'm gonna hold on
It's a hell of a ride (lovin' you)
Got me feelin' alright when the feeling's all gone
Got me feelin' uptight every moment you're gone
Got a piece of your mind and I'm gonna hold on
It's a hell of a ride (lovin' you)

That was a moment in time that comes and floats away
And when I open my eyes, I hope to see your face

Got me feelin' alright when the feeling's all gone
Got me feelin' uptight every moment you're gone
Got a piece of your mind and I'm gonna hold on
It's a hell of a ride (lovin' you)
Got me feelin' alright when the feeling's all gone
Got me feelin' uptight every moment you're gone
Got a piece of your mind and I'm gonna hold on
It's a hell of a ride (lovin' you)

You Don't Go To Parties

It's 5 AM, clingin' to my couch
And everyone I ever knew is standin' in my house
Oh, I wonder who I'm lookin' for
'Cause you don't go to parties anymore

I still think about the times we were heavy
Racehorse trippin' on the dirt that you got me
Vultures spinnin' up above always lifted me
We go stupid every night, what a tragedy

I'm still here in the darkness, back where we started
You made me a heartless monster
I'm caught up in distractions, fatal attractions
I'm starting to come undone

And now it's 5 AM, clingin' to my couch
And everyone I ever knew is standin' in my house
Oh, I wonder who I'm lookin' for
'Cause you don't go to parties anymore
I got the last five years runnin' out my mouth
Always stay too late, I should kick me out
Oh, I wonder who I'm lookin' for
'Cause you don't go to parties anymore

Lost my limit 'cause I'm dumb and I'm passionate
Took my foot up off the brake, it's not an accident
All my friends are up on Mars, we've been travelin'
Another lonely night

And now it's 5 AM, clingin' to my couch
And everyone I ever knew is standin' in my house
Oh, I wonder who I'm lookin' for
'Cause you don't go to parties anymore
I got the last five years runnin' out my mouth
Always stay too late, I should kick me out
Oh, I wonder who I'm lookin' for
'Cause you don't go to parties anymore

And now it's 5 AM, clingin' to my couch
And everyone I ever knew is standin' in my house
Oh, I wonder who I'm lookin' for
'Cause you don't go to parties anymore
I got the last five years runnin' out my mouth
Always stay too late, I should kick me out
I wonder who I'm lookin' for
'Cause you don't go to parties anymore

Oh, I wonder who I'm lookin' for
'Cause you don't go to parties anymore

BLENDER

Is it lonely where you are?
All the way across the room
With a knife inside your heart
I feel it, too, mm
Is it just the way we are?
Always burnin' through the roof
Oh, I guess only the stars
Would know the truth, mm

I'd die for you, I'd die for you
I'd die for you (for you)
I tried for you, I tried for you
I tried
But all I hear is

All the things you said in my head
Ricocheting off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my God, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're going 'round again
In an emotional blender
All the things you said in my head
Ricocheting off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my God, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're going 'round again
In an emotional blender

But we just can't keep away
When you know me like you do
It's supernatural
Got me howlin' at the moon

I'd die for you, I'd die for you
I'd die for you (for you)
I tried for you, I tried for you
I tried
But all I hear is

All the things you said in my head
Ricocheting off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my God, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're going 'round again
In an emotional blender
All the things you said in my head
Ricocheting off the bed
Nothin' left, what a mess
Oh my God, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're going 'round again
In an emotional blender

Oh, oh
Oh, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah

All the things I said in my head
Ricocheting off the bed
Nothing left, what a mess
Oh my God, it never ends
Now we're stressed and depressed
And we're going 'round again
In an emotional blender

Caramel

Under the East, gotta leave, I need a way out
Lookin' at me, colorin' all of the lines now
You only break when you take the bend too far
Don't like it fake, I relate, I think it's true love

It's been a while since you and I been where we started
I don't wanna let it fade away

It used to be easy
Now you can't even look me in the eye
A visceral feeling
That I can never leave behind
And it's under my skin, but I can't reach it
When you know where I've been, so we play pretend
It used to be easy
It used to be easy

I know it well, caramel, I feel the comedown
(Feel the comedown) Yeah
We've been to hell, I can tell, we're slowin' down now
Ooh, you bring up the past, didn't ask, give me the know-how
(I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry)
So we make it last, 'nother glass, until we come 'round

It's been a while since you and I been where we started
I don't wanna let it fade away

It used to be easy
Now you can't even look me in the eye
A visceral feeling
That I can never leave behind
And it's under my skin, but I can't reach it
When you know where I've been, so we play pretend
It used to be easy
It used to be easy

Love like a landslide, I kiss you goodnight
Love like a landslide, I kiss you goodnight
It used to be easy

Best Friends

Honey, I can see you when you're reachin' out for more
It feels only rational until it all becomes
A feelin' of the past, livin' under the summer sun
But baby, you're an animal and life has just begun
Take me as I am and I will take you as you are
You call me on my shit and my jaw is on the floor
I'd love to have somebody never filter what they say
And I can feel it comin' like a planet 'til the day

Silver linings, golden shinin'
Perfect timin' now

Memories I hold to keep safe
And I live for that look on your face
I got the best friends in this place
And I'm holdin' on
Memories I hold to keep safe
And I love to love you, for God's sake
I got the best friends in this place
And I'm holdin' on

Holdin' on

Love is like a poem written on a bathroom wall
A decorated list of all the things you felt before
It's not a perfect narrative, there's beauty in mistakes
It's time to love somebody who won't try to change your way
I remember waitin' on the calm before the storm
Back when we were on the other side of twenty-four
Take me to the place where everybody knows our names
It's better late than never, baby, I don't wanna wait

For silver linings, golden shinin'
Perfect timin' now

Memories I hold to keep safe
And I live for that look on your face
I got the best friends in this place
And I'm holdin' on
Memories I hold to keep safe
And I love to love you, for God's sake
I got the best friends in this place
And I'm holdin' on

Silver linings, golden shinin'
Perfect timin' now

Memories I hold to keep safe
And I live for that look on your face
I got the best friends in this place
And I'm holdin' on
I got the best friends in this place
And I love to love you, for God's sake
I got the best friends in this place
And I'm holdin' on

I've got the best friends in this place

Bleach

I wanna occupy your brain
Be the only livin' space in your head
And when you're fillin' up your lungs
Mine's the only name that's under your breath

Brought a knife to a gun fight
But the hurtin' is all mine
When the feeling is airtight
I know it takes time to let go
But I can't take it no more
Can make up for lost time?

If there's bleach in the hallways, I can start over
Bleach in my head, just to get away
I'm washin' it out 'til I figured out
Livin' without you
(Everythin' I want is spillin' down the drain)
If there's bleach in the hallways, I can start over
Bleach in my hair every Saturday
I'm washin' it out 'til I figured out
Livin' without you
(Everythin' I want is spillin' down the drain)

I feel you underneath my tongue
Next to every word that I should have said
No matter how far that I've run
Memories always seem to catch up again

Brought a knife to a gun fight
But the hurtin' is all mine
When the feeling is airtight
I know it takes time to let go
But I can't take it no more
Can make up for lost time?

If there's bleach in the hallways, I can start over
Bleach in my head, just to get away
I'm washin' it out 'til I figured out
Livin' without you
(Everythin' I want is spillin' down the drain)
If there's bleach in the hallways, I can start over
Bleach in my hair every Saturday
I'm washin' it out 'til I figured out
Livin' without you
(Everythin' I want is spillin' down the drain)

It's so hard to watch everythin' I want
(Everythin' I want is spillin' down the drain)
It's so hard to watch everythin' I want
(Everythin' I want is spillin' down the drain)
Drain

Red Line

It's hard to think when I'm not faded
I thought I could repair myself
When you ask me, "What's the matter?"
The actor says he hates himself
And we collided in the morning
Screamin' with the mission bell
We burnt the city without mourning
Reachin' out for someone's help

How many times did we run from each other?
How many times did I walk out the door?
Into the dark, we're no good for each other
Into the dark, I'm not walkin' no more

'Cause I been spendin' all this time alone
I'm on the red line, sinkin' after all
Another vessel in a winter cold
(Ooh, ooh)

Lonely almost cut me so deep
The only part that gives me hell
The secret weapon that no one showed me
On how to love if you lose yourself
Every hour tickin' by, I'm thinkin' 'bout you
I reminisce your memory, and what did I choose?
A sentimental comedy, the joke is on you
It's on me, too

How many times did we run from each other?
How many times did I walk out the door?
Into the dark, we're no good for each other
Into the dark, I'm not walkin' no more

'Cause I been spendin' all this time alone
I'm on the red line, sinkin' after all
Another vessel in a winter cold
(Ooh, ooh)
And I'm just waitin' for my time to go
I hear the whistle for the doors to close
Another vessel in a winter cold
(Ooh, ooh)
