I spent the year on my TV throne, Passing the time watching Scrubs alone, I spent the year just on my own. I spent the year just singing songs About falling in and out of love, I spent the year just thinking of her. So sing me to sleep, maybe it will come to me in my dreams. I feel so empty, like the music has fallen out of me. I spent the year just on the bus, Always trying to get somewhere else, I spent the year just sitting and waiting. I spent the year in the passenger seat With my best friend next to me, I spent the year singing and laughing. So sing me to sleep, maybe it will come to me in my dreams. I feel so empty, like the music has fallen out of me. I spent the last year with my friends And making the same mistakes again I spent the year just getting better. I spent the year just making friends, and making memories with them I swear this year is going to be better I spent the year just singing songs About falling in and out of love, I spent the year just thinking of her. I spent the year in the passenger seat With my best friend next to me I spent the year singing and laughing. I spent the last year with my friends And making the same mistakes again I spent the year just getting better. I spent the year just making friends, and making memories with them. I swear this year is going to be better.

Sleepy Eyes 03:51
Streetlights guide me home, daylight burns my eyes. I know I should go to sleep, tomorrow i've got places to be. I just want to know why I can't sleep at night, why I toss and turn but nothing feels right. Coffee, I drink too much To help me stay up way to long. In an effort to help me close my eyes, I stay up so long I just give in the fight. I stay up so late until I can’t keep my eyes open, so I’m too tired to notice that this bed is always empty. And sleepy eyes, and coffee highs and late late nights. Help me to forget that I just feel so alone sometimes.

I was hungover when I asked you out, I was hungover on our first date too, I was hungover when I lied in bed and watched American Beauty with you. And I wish I could explain why I smile when we kiss, Or when I am away from you it’s your cold hands I’d miss. Your kisses taste like West Coast and mine taste like gasoline, and if that is alright with you then that's just fine by me. I’m sorry for every Friday afternoon, when you look at the clock and say “I must be leaving soon”, and I look at you and I ask you to stay, I know you hate it but I do it anyway. And I hope you know that I love you, I’ll show you anyway I can, it’s not just singing songs for you, it’s trying to be a better man. And I wish I could explain why I smile when we kiss, or when I am away from you it’s your cold hands I’d miss. Your kisses taste like West Coast and mine taste like gasoline, and if that is alright with then that's just fine by me. And when I hold you I want to keep you warm, I want you to know you're not alone, And all I ever want to see, is brown eyes staring back at me.

It was the wintertime, We watched the ships sail out to sea. I held your hands in mine, And told you what you meant to me. We kissed on the hillside, I was as happy as could be. When I told you I loved you, We watched the ships sail out to sea. In my Grandma’s old house, You were so happy you could cry. I sung about sinking ships, I sung a drunken lullaby. You turned to me and said, “You are a perfect fucking guy”. In my grandma’s old house, I was so happy I could cry. When the earth turns its back on the sun, When it’s clear that the day is done, I am sorry I was not what you dreamed, I wasn't the heroes you watched on TV. It was the afternoon, You came over to see me. You were holding all my things, I could see that this was the ending. You were so scared, I had to say it out loud for you, And then you left me with a book, a shirt and memories of you. On the night you left I swore I saw a ghost, and for the first time you were not there to hold me close. I hardly slept that night, I hardly slept at all. I spent hours and hours with eyes wide open staring at the wall. When the earth turns its back on the sun, When it’s clear that the day is done, I am sorry I was not what you dreamed, I wasn't the heroes you watched on TV.

I’m in the back of the bar and it’s the middle of the night, And the girl I just kissed is sitting by me to my right. And two of my friends are still fighting about something said long ago, And they go on and on and on and on. This pub is winding me tight, they're playing songs that I hate. And the music is so loud I can hardly think straight, And there’s so many people, there’s no room to move, And I'm so drunk I want to go home, and I'm so drunk I can't take anymore. And at some point tonight I lost a bet or two, And I can't find my phone, I don't know what to do, And I spent all my money on bourbon and coke. And all my friends aren't ready to go home, “Just one more drink” they say, “cmon, cmon” And if I could afford a cab I would be out of here right now, But I'm stuck in this city, I’m stuck in this town. And there’s so many people, but none to call my own. And everybody has someone else tonight, And everybody is having a good time. I'm fine with being alone, I'm fine with staying at home I'm fine with being alone, it’s just that I can't stand being lonely.

The sun cracks through the heavy curtains now, And I wake up weary-eyed in your arms, And last night’s goon bag still sits on the floor, And the last thing I remember is you walking out the door, But you're home now, and that’s okay. We can discuss last night at a later date. I roll out of bed and I turn my laptop on, And you wake up and light your first cigarette. Every few hours we swap our positions, And I'll fall asleep while you're cooking in the kitchen, Then you’ll wake me up with some food to eat. We found our patterns and it’s been like this for weeks. The bottles of booze are lined up against the wall, And the ashtrays are filling up. We live in a sharehouse on the second floor, And our clothes are on our mattress, And our mattress is on the floor And we can't make rent, or stay awake. And we only ever talk about how we're getting outta here some day. And on the last night that we were in this house You asked me what we were all about. I said “all I ever wanted you to be is a person in my bed so I could be less lonely, and you're still that, and nothing more”. You got out of bed, grabbed your things, and walked out the door.
