Remember when we said we wouldn’t let this come between
where we want to go or where it is we’ve been
November took a thousand years but at least it made me think
If I can’t make you love me I guess I’d settle if you’d fucked me
I hope you lay awake at night and wonder where it all went wrong
Coz I’ve been dreaming better than I’ve ever done
I barely think of you I never even think like this
Here’s to you, here’s to me ignorance is bliss
What’s with all these conversations we’ve been having
It’s not like you to focus on what could have happened
You’re full of bad ideas, it’s time to face our fears
You’re coming round and now I’m falling through the ground again
I hope you lay awake at night and wonder where it all went wrong
Coz I’ve been dreaming better than I’ve ever done
I barely think of you I never even think like this
Here’s to you, here’s to me ignorance is bliss
Maybe I'm the asshole here

There’s a sidewalk near my parents’ house
where we carved our names in concrete
Across the street from the park where we all used to meet
and it’s not the physicality of drying cement
but the words and where we carved them and what this all meant
I don’t know when this came to me or how it got this far
all I can say is that our fate is more than who we are
I’ve been running round in circles and stumbling for days
I’d write it down if I could only find the words to say
I can’t promise I won’t let you down
I’m learning how to stick around
won’t stay in here to watch you go
Walking home from Bullcreek station
somehow made me think of you
the trouble we would cause and all the shit that we would do
we saved up all our money and we got matching tattoos
mine has a spelling error but it makes me think of you
there’s a sidewalk near your parents’ house
where we carved our names in concrete
across the street from the park where we all used to meet
and it’s not the physicality of drying cement
but looking back on those years and wondering where they went
I can’t promise I won’t let you down
I’m learning how to stick around
won’t stay in here to watch you go
It’s too long since I saw you last
We’ll take the chances that would have passed
I’m trying hard to let you know

I can’t get to sleep tonight
I may as well stay up and watch the stars
I lost all my nerve tonight
So you can call me a liar
I’ve been sleeping on my left more and more these days
and honestly I’m not feeling any better
I’ve been climbing through my window
and sleeping in the backyard in the night
I think I’ll blame this on the weather
No matter what I do to make myself a better man
Its always gonna feel to me
like I’m the same boy who woke up this morning saying
things will be different today
like all my fears from younger years
would somehow go away
I don’t like any of my songs no more
they’re all starting to sound the same
I’ve been drowning in my self-doubt
I’m always on the outside of the crowd
I’m looking for someone to blame
No matter what I do to make myself a better man
Its always gonna feel to me
like I’m the same boy who woke up this morning saying
things will be different today
like all my fears from younger years
would somehow go away

I’m used to staring up at the ceiling and counting the hours away
All that is changing, ain’t it amazing how different things are today
singing all night til the late AM with the sand between my toes
You kept me away from the hearts I could break I guess that’s how it goes
I want it all to go so well for you because you blew me away
what we had was more sand on our feet that wouldn’t wash away
things were simpler when we were together like the
definition of the words love and forever
the beach will never be the same again
The nights growing longer your hearts growing colder the winter is drawing near
I knew it was over and when you got sober you whispered in my ear
I promised myself when I was ten years old I would be living wild and free
now if I were to run into her how would she know she’s me
I want it all to go so well for you because you blew me away
what we had was more sand on our feet that wouldn’t wash away
things were simpler when we were together like the
definition of the words love and forever
the beach will never be the same again

Thursday Nights

We staggered home on a Thursday night
I didn’t kiss you but I wish I tried
I got too drunk to realise how I felt about you
I’m hanging on to every word you say
like how you want to go away some day
I’d spend all year writing songs for you
if it meant you’d stay
But I stood with you in the rain last night
while we got drunk on cheap wine
I can’t believe I fell this hard
I lost my fear when you stole my heart
I took your hand and said lets run away
you told me darling oh not today
She’s so pretty and I’m a god damn mess
how could I compare, could you care any less
But I held your hand in the rain last night
while you smoked all your cigarettes and we got drunk on cheap wine
I can’t believe I fell this hard
I lost my fear when you stole my heart
I took your hand and said lets run away
you told me darling let’s go today
