End Like That

A feeling
A being
I'm feeling things
Reflective pages in a book
Perspectives everywhere you look
It wasn't for nothing
'Cause it was something
It was something new for you
And although we thought it'd end like that
We hoped it wouldn't end like that
But you're on the upswing
I've seen it before
Soon you'll find something
You haven't before
And although we thought it'd end like that
We hoped it wouldn't end like that

Bangs

Well he was hypnotized by her dark brown eyes
And determined to be by her side
She didn't realize she was jeopardized
By just trying to be nice
She tried to be cautious but she'd never fought
An attraction quite like this one
And although he was obnoxious she never forsaw
Just how vicious he could become
No it wasn't hard to see that he meant well
But he was so naive that he kept putting her through hell
With every word they exchanged he sounded more deranged
So she tried to say her goodbyes
And then she'd get more enraged each time he reengaged
Instead of breaking off his ties
Soon she grew out her bangs and tried to change her name
Then she ran to another guy
What a shame, he felt the pain but came out the same
Because he never realized why
No it wasn't hard to see that he meant well
But he was so naive that he kept putting her through hell
No it wasn't hard to see that he meant well
But he was so naive that he kept putting her through hell
Oh well

I'm getting back to thinking
As I'm sitting here at home
And I'm sitting here alone
Skipping time before I'm blinking
And so I'm thinking 'bout 19 more
Now that you mention it
How it's not that bad
Before things could get bad
Before things could get big
Before you're doing what you did
Is this exactly what I want?
And tons of thinking that a lot
I'm a little more on my own
And a little more of my own
And it's not too terrible alone
It's just the reasons why I'm home
And so I'm thinking 'bout 19 more
Now that you mention it
How it's not that bad
Before things could get bad
Ok, but either way
I guess I'll write a nice song for you
But if it's not a song for you
Then it's a song for me
It's usually for me

I read it clear and aloud
In hopes I took the advice I sent
In the face of what they truly were about
I listened to the place where I was sound
And read it deeply once more 'round
And that's the end of the line from this mouth
I read it clear and aloud
And hoped I took the advice I sent
In the face of what they truly were about
I listened to the place where I was sound
And read it deeply once more 'round
And that's the end of the line from this mouth

I roll up my sleeves and I wear my heart out
I guess what I needed is somewhere to talk about it
I need somewhere to shout it
Somewhere to forget about it
People, places, and things that I need to think out
When I'm thinking a thing and I'm starting to doubt it
I need somewhere to shout it
Somewhere to forget about it
When it's out on the page it's like I wave goodbye
I'm still thinking them things but it's organized
In my eyes
I'm coming to realize that I care about these nouns
I'm preoccupied with so many ties around me
I need somewhere to shout it
Somewhere to forget about it
When it's out of my head it's still introspective
It comes out of my mouth so I can inspect it
And analyze
I'm coming to realize it's not about forgetting
I'll rectify my thoughts on a page so I can credit them
I need somewhere to shout it
I need to sing about it

Go Again

Dragging baggage with me
But not enough to weigh me down
Nagging shadows try to grip me
But never gain much ground
Gleaming futures soon to be
If I just leave the past behind
Instead I'll let both come to me
While I'm here I'll take my time
Displeased, but never insecure
I wish I could go back
But that would leave me wanting more
Still I wish I could go again
Could be back home again
I wish I could go again
I know it's futility
But the past is calling out to me
And I wish I could go again
Decisions I get lost in
Made years ago, I've finally made amends
Scenes I revisit often
But know I'll never live again
Shades of an unseen sunrise
I can only picture paint the sky
Half-hearted plans we never realized
A simple wave goodbye
Displeased, but never insecure
I wish I could go back
It'll leave me washed up, lying broken on the shore
Still I wish I could go again
Could be back home again
I wish I could go again
I know it's futility
But the past is calling out to me
And I wish I could go again

You Didn't Get Me

Speaking out your outer mind
Words cannot describe
We knew that someone had to lose
The wall that we had climbed
In and out again
Ooh, you made it when
It came crawling out of the lion's den
In and out again
Ooh, you made it when
It came crawling out of the lion's den
If this slips from underneath
The overflow of what we dreamed
And you don't know what it means
You didn't get me
Carry on with what you like
When you take your bite
Hiding from your other side
So I'm keeping mine
In and out again
Ooh, you made it when
It came crawling out of the lion's den
In and out again
Ooh, you made it when
It came crawling out of the lion's den
If this slips from underneath
The overflow of what we dreamed
And you don't know what it means
You didn't get me

Ruminate in the room you ate in
Thinking of what's next
Taking pictures and talking misters
Complaining via text
'Cause he's gotta take it slowly and freeze
Take time as it's going so
Please, take it easy
It's not that easy
Enjoy the ride, take in the tide
'Cause soon enough you'll miss me
She's working hard, even though it's harder
To stay before you leave
Her friends are gone and she's feeling farther
But things aren't as they seem
'Cause she's gotta take it slowly and freeze
Take time as it's going so
Please, take it easy
It's not that easy
Enjoy the ride, take in the tide
'Cause soon enough you'll miss me

Remember the memories before he took them away
Resolve to make things different, evolve to stop indifference
'Cause when you came back, as a matter of fact
He did to you
What you were going to
You move, but not out
A bit premature, but you're mature
Your mood had some doubt
You passed past, looking future
And were assured
Remember this melody when you are feeling down
Resolve to make things different, evolve to stop indifference
So when you come back you'll be right on track and he won't do
What he planned to do
To you
You move, but not out
A bit premature, but you're mature
Your mood had some doubt
You passed past, looking future
And were assured
