I am a lost cause
Stuck on my last hope
Fist over fist
Trying to reach the end
Of my rope (but it never ends, never ends)
I look with aviator eyes
At skyscraped city skies
Growing to know
This is so much bigger than me,
So much better than me
This is my city
Ill take what I want
This is my city
This is my last chance
To make something happen
This is all that I've got
To take my shot
(these city lights
will be the only ones
who hear my hear voice tonight)
Some nights its fireworks
And other nights you throw darts
but to be honest
I don't even know where to start
I got one foot in this door
And im praying that I got more
growing to know
this is so much bigger than me
so much better than me
I'm a living understatement,
Another face in the crowd
They've never seen a heart beat this loud

Throw me to the shark tank
The novelty's worn off
And now im gone (thanks a lot)
Currently
My self is esteem
Is my greatest enemy
And Im gonna lose (I always do)
When under appreciation
Becomes every day situations
Its time to move on
And now im gone
This is as good as it gets
This is the way everything will be alright
Honesty don't fail me
Cuz honestly I don't know
What to believe
Im layin my heart out on the line
Go ahead and let it out
Tell me everything you know
Cuz I feel it my throat
Rapidly
Its tightening
This heart string is your rope
You can wrap it around my neck
Whatever you choose
Promise don't forget
When miscommunication
Becomes everyday devastation
Its to time to move on
And now im gone
Im not one to just let things flow by
I want to go to the river and drink till its dry
Cuz I got a thirst and hunger that's hard to beat
Longer than the summer, stronger than its heat
You get what you pay for, and this is what you got
You're as good as gold, till the shine wears off
Pick me up
Let me down
Drag my body
across this town

Can you feel the change in the air?
its turning winter here
and we feel it in our nails,
they're broken and they're frozen
im learning to be considerate
so consider this a change of heart
im shaking like a house of cards
but im not as stable, so tell me now
are you willing, are you able?
shake the dust off your old jackets
its November in Texas,
and its getting colder
legends are dying left and right
and we're just getting older
reggie can you hear this?
we're wondering where fall went
And where all the money was spent
With nothing to lose
lets hit these streets made of ice
With our headphones on,
The shuffle of our feet perfectly on beat
We'll make the soundtrack to our lives
this is closest we'll get to walkin on water
and I sure don't want to forget
so here's to these memories
please don't melt away in sping

I’m ascending rooftops
Looking out across this town
When I finally realize
I am finally home now
We waste the day away
Just driving in her car
Man, It’s only been a year
Why does it always seem so far
We waste, we waste the day away,
Listening to the words of Chris Conley
Oh, the places that you’ll go
You can always cover up
And they will never know
All the things you left behind
A feather in your hat or a bruised black eye
Took me a year
Till I could finally understand
Buildings don’t make a city great
It’s the people that you love
(the moments that you make)
I listen to my heartbeat
Do you hear what it says?
“Kid you’ve got a lot to learn,
Don’t give up on me yet.”
We sail, we sail, we sail our ships
With our loose lips
Till we drown and till we sink
Sometimes, sometimes I wonder
Write me back when you get this
When you find out who you are
Man we’re going nowhere
How did we ever get so far?
And for every bridge we learn
Every lesson that we’ve learned
We are finding out it’s our turn
Sometimes, sometimes I wonder
(You’ll move mountains kid)

Stop!
Think right now
Who are you gonna love when im gone?
Girl!
Better think twice
Before I get up and move on
And this dance that we do everyday
Is leaving me tired and I must say
That these shoes have taken their wear
So we built this house far above the ground
Promised ourselves we'd never come down
But girl, even nails have the tendency to pull themselves apart
Promise don't forget
Those three words you said
(think of all the letters,
think of all the letters on my wall)
Go!
Get outta here!
The streets are calling out your name
Don't!
Don't look back
The site you'll see is bound to be heart attack
me and these sidewalks know how it feels
To feel the pressure of everyone's heels
Socks don't have to match to do their task
But we're two left shoes tied to the past
So gather all your clichés and roll them into one
Grab your knife, pin it to my back, then we'll be having fun
broken receiver
The midnight deceiver
No we never stood a chance

This is my blood
These are my veins
Do you see what runs through it
Don't you ever think I could lose it
This is my blood
These are my veins
I want to trace my life
In wet cement
At least my footprints
So everyone can see
this wholehearted misstep legacy
but we all know it's too fast to dry
my legs are getting tired and old
and I, I'm ready to die
This is my blood
These are my veins
Do you see what runs through them
Don't you ever think I could lose it
This is my blood
These are my veins
Anthems of hope
and misguided fears
Is how I'll remember
These past few years
With bittersweet melodies and desperate dreams
Our stories are amazing
But we fall apart at our seams
(it seems) despite all of my failures
I am not afraid of these present times
I will rise just like the phoenix,
Burn my name across city skies
Take your lives,
Make your legends,
Pass them on, pass them on
Open my eyes,
Tear my throat,
We carry on, we sing our song
We're not home yet
To all the sharks
And all the flames
We have taken down your names
It's our turn, it's our turn
