Try Again Tomorrow

Something's waiting at the end of the road
Something's taking me into the unknown
Can't ignore the feeling that I should go
So I go, oh no, no!
Couldn't wait for you to finish the show
I knew the end before he credits could roll
Just keep pretending that it's under control
And we'll try again tomorrow
Something's pulling out the ground from below
Telling me what I don't want to be told
And I know it's for the best, but I don't care
But if you were me, then you'd agree
That's not fair
Couldn't count on you to send me a sign
I can't just wait until the stars all align
Just keep on hoping one day things will be fine
And we'll try again tomorrow
Forget all you sorrows
Try again tomorrow
Yesterday is hollow
Try again tomorrow
Forget all your sorrows
Try again tomorrow
Yesterday is hollow
Try again tomorrow

Fallback
03:20
|
|||
|
We calm down
Long after we're supposed to be all good
It's getting difficult to breathe
This world ain't big enough for two people like us,
So lonely
It makes no sense to give up
But I've never been rational
So I let go
Whispers of what could be
Keep washing over me
Fall back on me if it don't work out
Call back to me, I'll be sticking around
First place ain't where I'm gonna be
But if you need to, fall back on me
Call back to me if you're ever in doubt
Fall back on me, I'll be sticking around
Some things just aren't meant to be
But if you need to, fall back on me
Arrange your thoughts in order
From most precious to ordinary
Say them out loud, I promise
I won't tell anyone
Fall back on me if it don't work out
Call back to me, I'll be sticking around
First place ain't where I'm gonna be
But if you need to, fall back on me
Call back to me if you're ever in doubt
Fall back on me, I'll be sticking around
Some things just aren't meant to be
But if you need to, fall back on me

You See Me
03:47
|
|||
|
When all the trails are overgrown
There's nowhere left to go
How will we ever find our home?
Just settle in the snow
I don't want to make my mind up yet
I'll think a little bit harder
Crystal ball won't show me shit
I'll wait a little bit longer
Won't you tell me what I must do next
To get a little bit farther?
And if I only said what you wanted
Nothing that I'd say would be honest
So tell me what to change, I'll get on it
'Cause I'd rather be the way you see me
And when the sky is filled with clouds
Smog is in the air
How can we all convince ourselves
That we don't gotta care?
I'm not saying that I've lost my faith
It's a little bit shaky
Hit the gas then pump the brakes
I'm a little bit crazy
Won't you tell me what I need to fix
Before apathy takes me?
And if I only said what you wanted
Nothing that I'd say would be honest
So tell me what to change, I'll get on it
'Cause I'd rather be the way you see me
And if I have to make one more promise
It's only that I'll try to stay honest
And do my best to make up our losses
'Cause I'd rather be the way you see me
'Cause I'd rather be the way you see me
'Cause I'd rather be the way you see me

Corners
03:44
|
|||
|
If I tried to please you
You would just see through
You can help me through
I still believe you
And I would replace you
If I had the space to
But I can't just waste you
So you'll have to phase through with me
The corners of the world are folding in on me
The ceiling of my mind is falling to the sea
If I could repay you
I would not wait to
I'm no good for you
But I still adore you so
Wish we were born new, no
But I can't be forced to
And I would say sorry
But then you would worry
Or unleash your fury
Either way it's ugly for me
The corners of the world are folding in on me
The ceiling of my mind is falling to the sea
Come fold in on me
Until I cannot breathe
Crash into my sea
And repeat, for me
How do you not realize this?
Oh, how do you not see?

What am I gonna do without you?
All I can do is think about you
The only thing I tried to tell you
The way you feel is the way I felt too
No longer petrified, just terrified of isolation
I'll come around again, I'm praying
What I'm gonna do without you...
How am I gonna heal without you?
Nothing feels real without you
I was always trying to change you
That's why I could never blame you
No longer petrified, just terrified of isolation
I'll come around again, I'm praying
What I'm gonna do without you...

Morning Sun
01:54
|

|
Morning sun, wake up
Take a walk to a coffee spot
Take it in, wake up
This is where you belong
Sometimes it may feel wrong
Doubt yourself, come back strong
This is where you belong
Wake up, wake up
Wake up! wake up!

A Void
04:08
|
|||
|
Notice when you speak nobody hears you
Listening is hard when nobody sees you
Scream your secrets out, god damn I want to
Fill you mind with sounds, but that would bore you
It took so long
To realize what's wrong
So we all avoid the void
That we could easily destroy
No, it's not our only choice
But what do we know?
What do we know?
So do you feel the satisfaction
When you realize life is a distraction?
No, that makes me terrified
Where is the spark?
How can we get it back today?
So we all avoid the void
That we could easily destroy
No, it's not our only choice
But what do we know?
And there's so much to enjoy
If we drown out all the noise
But we'd rather hear our voice
But what do we know?
So much we could enjoy,
So much that we avoid
Just want to take it in
Just want to live again
What do we know?

Nightdriving
02:31
|
|||
|
Flat on your feet it caught you by surprise
I couldn't meet expectations
It's hard to see what's been internalized
I could've gave confirmation
Nightdriving in a city where I've never been
The only way that I can pretend
Outrunning all the words inside my head
Feeling better than I've ever been
We only see just what we want to see
When things get too complicated
I can't fulfill your fucked up fantasy
It's left me tired and jaded
Nightdriving in a city where I've never been
The only way that I can pretend
Outrunning all the words inside my head
Feeling better than I've ever been

Moving Up
04:07
|
|||
|
When I'm moving on up in the world
I gotta check myself
Am I just falling down in reverse?
I gotta stay alert
Just accept the way it is
'Cause I don't own the earth
My intentions were never wrong
But that don't mean I'm always right
And I've been changing
But slower than I'd like
And I've been waiting
But I'm not gratified
And it's my fault, and it's alright
I will stand in line
Until it's my time
When I'm moving along to somewhere new
I gotta open my mind
Can't focus on what I've left behind
Don't have that kind of time
Just accept the way it is
It's the only answer to these problems
And I've been changing
But slower than I'd like
And I've been waiting
But I'm not gratified
And it's my fault, and it's alright
I will stand in line
Until it's my time
Cut up this moment
Timing is everything
Precisely focused
Mind over everything
Cut up this moment
Timing is everything
Precisely focused
Mind over everything

Processing....
02:29
|
|||
|
Save your breath, speak in only whispers
In the end, everyone's a drifter
Never meant to come across so bitter
I'm still processing....
Scratch the surface and you don't see much
Dig deeper and you'll wish you'd stopped
Find an answer but it don't seem right
So I feel confused and I stay inside
Trouble's coming from a mile away
You can see it straight down the line
Tunnel vision and paranoia
Always makes for a real good time
I'm still processing....
Hold off for now
You're thinking too fast and loud
Shut up, sit down
And see how this shit plays out
Hold off for now
You're thinking too fast and loud
Don't give up now
You've come too far to let down
I'm still processing....
Once again we become beginners
Every time we realize we're still sinners
In the end, everything gets finished
But for now, we are all still processing

Sound of the Rain
03:04
|
|||
|
I slept in to the sound of the rain
I guess I could complain
But who would care at all
If our worries are so small?
And when I woke I still felt the same
I took the highs with the pain
And who could know at all
If no one heard us call?
Swallow this pill and drink up this water
Hope that tomorrow you will feel better
The ghosts of the past year can no longer haunt us
If we don't believe in them
I'd drive for hours just to find some peace of mind
These days aren't too insane, but I still feel stuck sometimes
I want to laugh until my guts spill out of me
I want to scream until my lungs can hardly breathe
And who would put up walls
if they're okay after all?
Swallow this pill and drink up this water
Hope that tomorrow you will feel better
The ghosts of the past year can no longer haunt us
If we don't believe in them
Swallow your pride and keep it together
Maybe tomorrow you will feel better
The ghosts of the past year can no longer haunt us
If we don't believe in them

Only met you through the speakers
Never heard you speak a word
The force that drives us all together
When we get lonely, sad, and bored
Too soon to cut the cord
Moving with a rolling rhythm
Never stepping out of time
The glue that holds us all together
When we grow distant, out of sight
You throw us a lifeline
If I could make a fraction of an impact as you
Then I could die happy, swear to god it's true
You're part of something greater than you ever knew
Our favorite beat to dance along to
Building something out of nothing
Soundtrack to our longest drives
Thirty years you stuck together
The pulse that keeps us all alive
You taught us to survive
If I could make a fraction of an impact as you
Then I could die happy, swear to god it's true
You're part of something greater than you ever knew
Our favorite beat to dance along to
