Up all night staring at the ceiling
Life isn't the same
Those lazy days, I'm reminded of them in mysterious ways
They're gone now that's a shame
What a shame
Season's change
Do you remember when the sun used to shine forever
Now that's just pretend
Girl, come with me lets go and find the recipe
To make those days again
Make those days again
Desperately trying to recreate those memories
It's my only remedy
When will I learn that my life is definitely
Not what it used to be, what it used to be
Memories
Do you remember when the sun used to shine forever
Now that's just pretend
Girl, come with me lets go and find the recipe
To make those days again
Make those days again
Do you remember when the sun used to shine forever
Now that's just pretend
Girl, come with me lets go and find the recipe
To make those days again
Make those days again

Sleep Deprived

Out of place out of whack I just need my energy back
Will I find it soon
Maybe if I got some well needed rest instead
Of staring at the moon
Bags grow dark around my eyes
As the days go by
I need to find a solution
To get rid of this disguise
I need some melatonin for my head
So I can put my demons back to bed
I need you there to hold me tight
So I can finally get some sleep at night
Don't know where I'm going or what I want to do
Will I figure it out soon
Maybe if I did not waste away my days
By waking up in the afternoon
Maybe I could think rationally
For the first time in a while
If I got some sleep and focused on
The things that make me smile
I need some melatonin for my head
So I can put my demons back to bed
I need you there to hold me tight
So I can finally get some sleep at night
I need some melatonin for my head
So I can put my demons back to bed
I need you there to hold me tight
So I can finally get some sleep at night

Winter

Our chapped fingers
Hold us together
Despite no lotion
And this chilly weather
Things don't look bright
For myself
But that has never
Strayed you away
This isn't picture perfect for everyone
Warmer days and shorter nights, we can pretend it is true
I can imagine a life that is better
But I wouldn't want it any other way
As long as it's with, as long as it's with you
We left our town
Into the unknown
We haven't made many friends
At least we're not alone
Winter arrives
And we return
Colder homes
But we've got some warmth to spare
This isn't picture perfect for everyone
Warmer days and shorter nights, we can pretend it is true
I can imagine a life that is better
But I wouldn't want it any other way
As long as it's with, as long as it's with you

Imaginary Home

I've been traveling somewhere far away
Where nobody knows
Where it is or what goes on
It's where I can be alone
But when will I realize
That place only exists behind my eyes
Is it real, I don't know
What's real anymore
I'm so sick of not being myself sometimes
Living through the lens you all want to view me by
What would you think if I let you through the door
Through the door of my safe imaginary home
Why do I try to please everyone
The world doesn't work like that
I give up on the real me as soon as I walk outside
I wish I could take it back
I just need a place to stay
A place where all my truth can hide away
Guess I'll keep acting fake
'Cause to everyone that seems okay
I'm so sick of not being myself sometimes
Living through the lens you all want to view me by
Would you still like me if I let you through the door
Through the door of my safe
Through the door of my safe imaginary home

Summer's Gone

I know you're done seeing me
When the colors of the leaves change to yellow from green
The time we spent together, what did it mean
If we cannot see each other in the Autumn breeze
When we were back in July
I never thought I'd see you cry
Now summer is gone it can't stay
Three months of bliss completely wasted away
And all that we can do now is count down the days
Until we are together on our summer vacay
You know that it'll be hard
We cannot spend anymore time in the back of your car
Moving all your clutter, what was it for
We both went our separate ways, now I'm always ignored
Never thought that it'd come to this
All I wanted was one more kiss but
Now summer is gone it can't stay
Three months of bliss completely wasted away
And all that we can do now is count down the days
Until we are together on our summer vacay
All I hope is that we can remain as one
Hopefully in college you don't have too much fun
I've got a feeling that we'll be together soon
My mind's playing tricks on me
'Cause all I want is you
