Good Enough 02:31
It's been two years and I only feel worse when everything's perfect I still find a way to get hurt And now I'm afraid I'll never be good enough of a friend, I'm scared you'll get bored and we wont keep in touch Yeah, I barely call except when there's something wrong or nothing to do when days get long And you're there to talk It's always nothing A familiar voice I feel alright Yeah you're the first one I call when I feel like nothing You're the one there to talk until I say I'm fine It took me so long to admit that I'm giving up on holding this pose I've been acting around all the people I love and I wouldn't know how to be like myself anymore Yeah, I've been trying so hard to remember who I was before And you're there to talk It's always nothing A familiar voice I feel alright Yeah you're the first one I call when I feel nothing You're the one there to talk until I say I'm fine. I'm fine.

Sun Bruised 02:09
You've been afraid for so long of everything around you In pictures I saw how your eyes burned before I was young Everything's getting worse All the weight you've been carrying I know you Sun bruised kid. I don't wanna' be somebody I just wanna' be ok Everyone seems so much better Maybe I'm the only one that's changed
3.
I'm stretching out my arms reaching for both coasts My traveling heart never gets that far from home I'm keeping my words tucked inside my mouth everything I'm afraid of I will never say out loud The things I believe are constantly changing I just wanna' be a part of something worth saving I'm brave in my head but when it comes time to act I'm never around It's the courage that I always lack I've grown so scared of everything now I can't find a way to calm myself down I'm so sick of waking up to bad news when every day gets a little bit harder to get through I'm stretching out my arms reaching for the people I love My traveling heart never gets as far as my head does I've grown so scared of everything now I can't find a way to calm myself down I'm so sick of waking up to bad news When every day gets a little bit harder to get through

Basement 03:00
Well it rained all the way down it was the start of the summer Before all the bad news about your younger brother Now we're driving in your car pretending that everything's alright If we're not that much older why's it feel like a lifetime Where'd the days go when we were kids in a basement Now I write you letters but they're never happy That's all I have to say I guess I've been learning to let go of all of the bad things that happen I tried being angry and everyone and all of my friends I lost what was closest when I disregarded my actions Thought that this was the first time anyone had ever felt like this I'm not different just left affected and nervous This isn't always the person I was it's just who I've become towards everyone
5.
Sometimes I think we're all the same and I'm not the only one with nothing to say I tried acting like somebody else when you were around and I feel so stupid right now Some days disappearing gets old but I know it's easy to get comfortable So I keep everyone in letters they write and I say I'm fine and I'm having such a good time But I always wanna' be somewhere else Cause' I get so unsettled when I come around
6.
Well they tore down another house and It all looks different out of my window And the kids run through the neighborhood There's a big game going on out in the road And the trucks stir up the black earth and it settles all around The same way I do now I always take the same way home saw all they left were fences where there was a hospital and I know I'm ok it's just I barely come around much these days Like I've watched boats leave the shore exposed it takes time to settle down The same way I do now

Postcards 02:44
You wrote that I hope that this find you when you're in a good place And today I was better because I wanted to change Seems like I've been bitter forever and unhappily young All my problems were mountains that I never could climb up But I was just a kid and everything seems worse than it is
8.
You ask if I wanna' go out but I stay home and soon I know I'll grow to hate this house Because when I said I'd be better by myself what I meant was help I remember the sound of waking up by water and how that summer felt like a movie Before the first time I saw my friends cry Now I quit coming by The closer I got to the sun the further I withdrew from everyone
9.
Drop Out 02:40
When It starts to seem like you're losing heart in everything and everyone you love it's easy just to give up And who I am keeps changing with the sun It goes down / It comes up A bad mood / Some bad blood I'm bitter / So what In a world that's made to tear you down it's blend in or drop out Such a narrow line we follow With a fucked head you can't grow And change comes so slow when you wait for tomorrow Everything we fight for gets taken from us Divided our efforts will fall apart We are tired but we're never giving up I am weary but I'll never lose my heart
10.
Forget 02:47
I wanna' say I'm better than I was and that I'm not the kind to give up And I wanna' know just how strong I am Yeah I don't care anymore what happens They're still my best friends Everything makes me so afraid All these things that I feel but won't say And sometimes I try and act like I've forgot But know when I say I'm alright I'm not But I'll keep my head up I know it gets better This isn't always how I will remember growing up
