Hey, Gabby, do you wanna hang out
I can show you all the bookstores
around my home town
And I miss Taylor and Mari
And I wanted to say sorry
For not being around
And Antony got me to quit
Smokin cigarettes
It's a thing that I still miss
But I'll get over it
And Colton calls me all the time
And he tells me
That he is doin fine
And Trey and Reed are probably
Playing video games
And talking
Everything is cool
It's all old school
I am feeling fine
I miss you all the time
I wanted to tell Hannah
That I miss her
And I wish that I
Had a cure
I wanna call Ciara
And catch up all night
With her
And I hope Cristina's good
I know we would hang out
If we could
Everything is cool
Everything's old school
Everything is fine
I think about you all the time

Hey, Hannah

Hey Hannah I am fine
I think of you sometimes
When I'm about to sleep
Everything is good
But I feel like a crook
Stealing food from the meek
This isn't how my body twists and turns but hey
Isn't it neat?
To view my bones
From skin deep
Hey Hannah did you know
That it's okay
To let love grow
And you totally broke my heart
With the words you said
With the words you meant
And I wanted to be
Next to you
On stage
And I wanted to be next to both of you
In our coming of age
I feel like a sucker
I feel like a loser
And that's the way it's gotta be
Hey Hannah
Hey Hannah
I feel like a fuckin sucker
I feel like a loser
Hey Hannah did you know
That it's okay
To let love grow

If you just hold on to me now
I promise to hold your hand and
Show you how
To love as though you've never known
And to feel love surging inside your bones
And times are getting so much harder for us now
I know it's not as simple
As it was when we got the ball to roll
But we can make it out
If we just take it slow so
Hold your breath and I'll hold mine too
And when your oxygen runs out
I will give mine to you
And when you crave the heat of my liquid life
I will donate it to you
So you can continue to fight
And I will keep my fingers crossed when asked of me
So you can feel a little special
Maybe feel a bit lucky
In my power there is not too much grip
But these are the things I give to you
So hold on to it

I don't regret not going to prom
I don't regret singing this song for you
I don't hate the way that I acted
Though the people I knew are now subtracted
We scoured the land for fragile glass
I never knew I had so much class inside me
Let go of all the pain I felt
The more that it grows, the less I am myself

Just Be Cool

My friends are busy being friends
I'm busy figuring out when everything ends
I don't wanna impede on anyone being happy
But I don't wanna feel like this, like empty
I'll watch my friends become friends
And in the meantime figure out a quick exit
I'll find a way back to home
I'll dig myself a six foot hole
How did time decide to treat us this way
Why did you decide to go on and say
All of the things that you knew would hurt me
All of the things that we knew that were me
I'll keep my head down I'm not that worthy
I'll keep my face straight my lips aren't curving

Fuck Off

This is your fair warning
To stay away from me
To stay away
I am done calling
And keeping
Your sins at bay
And I have given all the pieces of myself
I surrender
But I have nothing else
This is your last warning
To stay the fuck away
From me and my friends

Birthday

I never thought that I could stand up to you
I never thought that I could find the voice
Any time I try to size up to you
I find myself regretting the choice
For years all that I've gotten is sympathy
Anything to help me get by
I guess just so that someone could see me
But the stars all align and see my lies
And I know when I try
I only make it worse when I just wanna make it work
And I just wanna die
'Cause I know that I'm a failed excuse at humor
And I wanna make it work
But I can't find a way to make anything much better
Now comes the time when I turn twenty
Two decades of life have gone by
No words come to mind, not any
And yet they reach the brims of my mind

I Don't Mean This Now

(sorry)
I fucked up
I let you down
I cried rivers
I broke the crown
You were so kind
No one else around
But I was a fool
Go laugh at the clown
Flowers couldn't grow
As deep as your love does
But I was too slow
I couldn't prove the cause

Silent Bets
02:19

You'll find me
At the edge of the sea
Blowing a kiss
To the people that I miss
And the waves will crash and roar so
I'll go find some more
(I'll go find some more)
I'll go find some more
(I'll go find some more)
Incense fill the room like wind
I feel like I'm a kid again
I long to be that small
Because I'm never feelin' tall
How do you grow?
I wanna know
How do you be?
I wanna see, I wanna see
(I wanna see you more)
I wanna see, I wanna see
(I wanna see)
But I'm stuck smoking cigarettes
Making my own silent bets
By the dumpster, in the shade
I'm gonna throw a sad parade
I don't care if I'm being pitiful
Nothing will ever make me beautiful
I'll try and cry and put up a fight
But I could never make it right
So go to the sea
My love, and that is where you'll find me
Where I've always wanted to be
