Lyrics from Out Of The Clouds
Chemtrails
Im freaking out
Im taking down
The names of everything
That I could find until I’m found
Im breathing ice
You’re tellling lies
So we can go and watch the Chemtrails
Fade into the sky
So show me how to overdose on life
Won’t you teach me how to load the dice
I wanna tap into your better side
Roll me over and take me for a ride
Show me how to overdose on life
find a little slice of paradise
Maybe then I won’t be so uptight
roll me over and take me for a ride
I’m bleeding red
That’s what she said
When I told her
She should really learn to use her head
We compromised
“Tomorrow night”
And we can go and watch the chemtrails
Fade into the sky
So show me how to overdose on life
Won’t you teach me how to load the dice
I wanna tap into your better side
Roll me over and take me for a ride
Show me how to overdose on life
find a little slice of paradise
Maybe then I won’t be so uptight
roll me over and take me for a ride
Rhythm of Light
I fade into night
Rhythm of light
Faster than a daydream
Slipping into obscene
Always polite
The bark starts to bite
Wish that I could give in
See what I’ve been missing
Cause I
Want you to see me
Why won’t you see me
And I wish I was dreaming
I don’t believe it
There’s too much to say
My fear on display
Obsessed with making memories
Try to force them gently
I’m sliding away
I’m King for a day
Full of bright ideas
Never gonna need em
Cause I
Want you to see me
Why won’t you see me
And I wish I was dreaming
I don’t believe it
Olive Branches
Did you give out,
A few too many second chances?
Did broken promises,
Turn into broken olive branches
Did new beginnings,
Come back to bite you every time?
Did you believe it,
When he said oh what’s yours is mine?
Now one for the money
and two for the show
And just like that it’s like you don’t even know
The one who stood there by your side
And said he would for the rest of your life
So you say your done
for real this time
But deep inside you know that it’s all a lie
You feel lost in so many ways
You face yourself and start to beg
Give me the strength
To let it all go
Maybe I’ll
Learn to love like I did before
This can’t be
The thing I try to ignore
Maybe i
Can learn to love like I did before
This independence
Depends on you to do it all
So you remind yourself
How he used to make you feel small
In the darkness,
you go reaching for what you can’t touch
The world is out there
But you don’t really want to rush
Cause the good times were good
But the bad times were bad
And he owns every memory that you had
Its okay to say you’re not okay
You face yourself and start to beg
Give me the strength
To let it all go
Maybe I’ll
Learn to love like I did before
This can’t be
The thing I try to ignore
Maybe i
Can learn to love like I did before
Now it’s been a year since he tried to call
You took down every bit of him from the walls
You feel that chapter start to end
Finally finding you again
Edge of the Knife
Settle down baby take it slow
I don’t know why we’re so afraid of getting old
Ain’t things better than they ever used to be?
I’ve been burning on a 9-5
Funny how they say we need it just to stay alive
Don’t you ever wish the pressure would just leave
Still stuck searching for a better life
And you feel it slipping almost every night
It’s always just another losing fight
Cause it’s hard to balance on the edge
Of the knife
La di dah woh oh oh
When’s the last time you ever lost your self control? Won’t it be fun to come undone
Just once again?
No better time
So why not now?
You can drop all the shit that tries to drag you down.
You know I’ll be here if you need a helping hand.
Still stuck searching for a better life
And you feel it slipping almost every night
It’s always just another losing fight
Cause it’s hard to balance on the edge
Of the knife
So you stay
For nothing new
Oh you stay
It’s not you
Still stuck searching for a better life
And you feel it slipping almost every night
It’s always just another losing fight
Cause it’s hard to balance on the edge
Of the knife
Dont Leave Me Alone
Breaking in the summer
living from my backpack
nothing really matters anymore
Made a scene at Kelsey’s, No one should’ve said that Its just the petty shit I can never ignore
So Check my lungs I can’t fee l nothin
Can’t stay here and I can’t go home
Can’t live off of the drive-thru lovin
One more night with you, please don’t leave me alone
And you could call me charming
Till you Get to know me
We could have a hell of a two-week flare
Healthy or alarming?
Therapist won’t show me
I never talked so long without getting anywhere
Find me quick I need some lovin
Can’t stay here and we can’t go home
Can’t fill up the space with nothing
One more night with you, please don’t leave me alone
Waking up was easy
Throwin on a new face
Faces turn to memories
I cant shake
I wonder where you are
I wish that you could see me
I wish that I could tell you i’m doin ok
Check my lungs I can’t feel nothin
Can’t stay here but I can’t go home
Can’t live off of the drive-thru lovin
One more night with you, please don’t leave me alone
Postcard
Paint me a picture
Put it on a postcard
Send it away when you find what to say when the words are in front of you
Running out of reasons
And seasons to change your mind
You’ve been making hell
Cause you know I can tell that we both feel like we’re
Falling faster than we’ve ever seen
Riding higher than the evergreen
Running out of of ways of wasting time
Don’t you want this beautiful life
I’m so tired of waiting
And of savoring our precious nights
We’ve been making it work but I hate when you hurt We could heal it so easily
Is there an expiration
Or a station your train Will arrive ?
We’ve been trying so hard now we’re pulling apart But it still feels like we’re
Falling faster than we’ve ever seen
Riding higher than the evergreen
Running out of of ways of wasting time
Don’t you want this beautiful?
Falling faster than we’ve ever seen
Riding higher than the evergreen
Running out of of ways of wasting time
Don’t you want this beautiful life?
Oh Joy
Oh joy I wanna hear you sing
So I’ll try to find you in the little things
Cuz I
Either see you everywhere or not at all
Oh joy you’re a sight to see
When I’m
Stood broken on the balcony
And it’s been a while since you
Stayed the whole night long
Chorus
And I keep the light on so that no one else gets hurt Are you really leaving me or is it something worse? When you only want to hide just so you can be found Joy, are you finally happy now?
Oh joy I remember when
The night
You and I found god again
And I
Wonder why he leaves us when it rains?
Oh joy it wasn’t Fairy dust
Cuz we
Weren’t flying when he carried us
And I
fight the shiver when I think about those days
And I keep the light on so that no one else gets hurt Are you really leaving me or is it something worse? When you only want to hide just so you can be found
Joy, are you finally happy now?
Oh joy you’re a sight to see
When I’m
Standing broken on the balcony
And it’s been a while since you
Stayed the whole night long
Nothing Better
Don’t fuck with me now
I don’t want you
To get away from me
So get away from me
Stupid little fights
Break up my night
I guess we’ll wait and see
Or just let it be
Well break my neck
We’re never gonna leave it alone
Cuz we love living in the eye
Of a self made storm
We wake up on fire
Stripped of our wires
get me out of here
There’s no way out of here
Go on rip the stitch
Put up your fists
I wanna lead you on
And make you sad I’m gone
Yeah break my neck
We’re never gonna leave it alone
Cuz we love living in the eye
Of a self made storm
And your words cut like a steak knife
Anything to gain one inch
Forget it by the sunrise
Cause I know there’s nothing better than this
your words cut like a steak knife
You’ll say anything to win
Forget it by the sunrise
Cause I know there’s nothing better than this
So break my neck
We’re never gonna leave it alone
Cuz we love living in the eye Of a self made storm
Sounds Like Life
Give me love
Give me something I can see
Tell me What’s it gonna take?
I been counting
Down the years and months and weeks
Till I finally get my day
Cuz I’ve been high and I’ve been sideways
Lord it’s been a ride
Laugh until the tears start comin
And it sounds a lot like life
World gone crazy
I think maybe
It just takes some time
Days go by the years start running
And it sounds a lot like life
A lot like
I swim down
In the ocean that is you
Not coming up for air
Am I running from
Or am I running to
I guess I’ll know when i get there
Cuz I’ve been high and I’ve been sideways
Lord it’s been a ride
Laugh until the tears start comin
And it sounds a lot like life
It sounds like
Are you ever really sure?
How you know whats comin around?
Always knockin at your door
Its you and me
Its sink or swim
We can find the higher ground
Cuz I’ve been high and I’ve been sideways
Lord it’s been a ride
Laugh until the tears start comin
And it sounds a lot like life
Rainboots
She silhouettes the doorway
see she’s got her rain boots on
rumbling through the window Tells me
She’s already gone
Thunder in the silence
Fights the stillness in the dread
A little voice inside me
Replays the moments I misread
I’ve been lied to
I’ve been played
It felt divine
Charmed my family
Took my name
And hung me dry
Cold words can’t
remove the stain
And cheap champagne
Can never heal the wounds
We made to break
The chain
Whispers of her memory
Fill my ears like spectral sounds
I unsuccessfully exorcise
The gnawing doubt
Slowly start pretending
That she has t washed away
And I wasn’t left here just stuck
Drowning in her wake
I’ve been lied to
I’ve been played
It felt divine
Charmed my family
Took my name
And hung me dry
Cold words can’t
remove the stain
And cheap champagne
Can never heal the wounds
We made to break
The chain
The End
When you think august
Am I still around
Cuz I still feel your breath
In every seasons sound
It seems unsteady
In this brand new place
Cause when I think too much
I think I should have stayed
Cuz the walls are breaking
And I hate my heart
For only speaking
When the leaving starts
Now the words are burning
It’s a simple plan
It just takes the world ending
ones to understand
When winter finds you
Do you die inside
When they ask you nicely
Do you tell them lies
Are you awake all night
How do you sleep
Have you been dying
Just to feel something
Cuz the walls are breaking
And I hate my heart
For only speaking
When the leaving starts
Now the words are burning
It’s a simple plan
It just takes the world ending
ones to understand
Plastic Crown
I’m 24 and I dont know why
I’m running on fumes of once-upon-a-time
I blinked my eyes and everyone Figured it out
She studied English somewhere in Spain
Tried on some greek letters
Got a new last name
While I was toasting to small town fame
And never falling out of the clouds
I’d tell em
I was flying high
Shining in the yellow outfield lights
Just another homecoming king
Trying to to keep a plastic dream alive
And all the boys
Wed drink till the dawn
Now i’m closer with the parents
What the hells going on
Feels like I gotta beg my phone to ring
They got grown up jobs, they have good clean fun Whatever that means you aint foolin anyone Acting like I’m just some chump They say they don’t remember anything
From back when
I was flying high
Shining in the yellow outfield lights
Just another homecoming king trying to keep a plastic dream alive
It seems I overstayed my welcome
We don’t got nothin left to say
4 years you forgot where you came from
One more and I’ll be on my way
I’ll tell em
I was flying high
Shining in the yellow outfield lights
Just another homecoming king
Tryna keep a plastic dream alive
Yeah I was flying high
Shining in the yellow outfield lights
Just another homecoming king
Trying to make a plastic dream my life
Skeletons
I stumbled in
I got blood on the tile
You said You cant sleep here but stay just a while
And I. dont remember these last couple nights The fan blades are broke but
We still got the lights
So turn it down
God damn I’m scared you won’t Believe me
This voice in my head baby it ain’t mine
We’re in too deep
God damn I just want you too see me
Were beautiful and still got time
You’re Dancin with bones In a closet so wide
It goes on for miles
And fades in the night
I used to be fearless but now I get scared
If something to lose is the price, then it’s fair
turn it down
God Damn I’m scared you won’t Believe me
This voice in my head baby it aint mine
We’re in too deep
God damn I just want you to see me
Were beautiful and still got time
Look at me
Im such a wreck
Come get this noose
Off of my neck
We can put it on the table we can make our plan for war
An im telling lies
To keep you safe
I guess that was my first mistake
Oh Just to be worth the waiting thats what I was waiting for
Thats what I was waiting for
The One Thing
As I sit on the floor
And sip my glass of wine
I think of all the things I’d change
But in every version of this stupid little life
You’re the one thing
The one thing that remains
Oh the wind may blow
A different way
And the city skylines they could fall
On another path
I might find fortune and fame
But I’d leave it all
So as I watch you sleep
There on the couch
I wouldn’t have it any other way
There’s other things I could be doing with my time But you’re the one thing
that brightens up my day
Oh and life may deal
A different hand
And the smiles won’t often come around
But through it all
I’ll be your man
I’ll stand my ground
I can’t sum it up
The way I feel
Cause that is always gonna change
But my love for you grows endless still
It’s the one thing
The one thing that remains
It’s the one thing
The one thing that remains
Can’t Just Be Me
So we meet again
Was it happenstance
That we both know how it feels to love a ghost
Are you just a night?
Am I just a high?
No it’s not the same as faith, but every night
I hope that I
Finally understand
The reason why
Everything comes crashing through the night
I’ll find a way to leave the light on
Sick of searching through the dark
I feel more than a spark
It can’t just be me
Now were looking down
On a tired town
From the hilltop as the morning starts to break
And I wanna say
I want you to stay
No it’s not the same as faith
But every night
I pray that i
Finally understand
The reason why
Everything comes crashing through the night
I’ll find a way to leave the light on
Sick of searching through the dark
I feel more than a spark
It can’t just be me
Can’t just be me
and how could I time frame
A thing like this feeling?
I know what i’m doing
I know what I want and
I know that I
Finally understand
The reason why
Everything comes crashing through the night
I’ll find a way to leave the light on
Sick of searching through the dark
I feel more than a spark
It can’t just be me
Find a way to leave the light onSick of searching through the dark
Find a way to leave the light on
Sick of searching through the dark
I feel more than a spark
It can’t just be me
Time to Time
I laugh in awkward times l l from things you said three years ago
I wonder if you’d still recall
Sometimes the happiest memories of lovers past Are the ones that haunt us most of all
Just let me in cuz it’ll only take a minute So much I wonder of your life I put my phone back in my pocket and then Forget it
And keep on telling myself that you still Think of me too from time to time
Wish you would ask me those great questions that you did, again cuz
I’ve got great answers to them now
I wanna run back to the people that we used to be, and tell them what I’ve figured out
Just let me in cuz it’ll only take a minute So much I wonder of your life I put my phone back in my pocket and then Forget it
And keep on telling myself that you still Think of me too from time to time
SINGLES AND EP's
Sugar Free
You been tellin all the secrets of my fucked up mind
Turnin sugar free vanilla into Ham on Rye
Make a man, shake a sinner, pull the devil outta me
What’s love if it ain‘t “just because”?
Didnt understand the weight of changing
”ls” to “was”
It ain’t over till it’s over we just sit and watch it bleed
Stop tellin all the secrets of my fucked up mind
Turnin sugar free vanilla into ham on rye
Keep the beautiful pollution
To yourself next time around
Well I been goin out at night to find the rest of me
But the last time that I saw it
You were next to me
I was lookin out the window
You were lost in some old sound
Ain’t nothin like
You taking me
Home
Can’t tell you why
I cant let it go
Ain’t nothin like
You taking me
Home
Can’t tell you why
Feels just like
Before
Ain’t nothin like
You taking me
Home
Can’t tell you why
Can’t leave you alone
I was lookin out the window
You’re lost in some old sound
I been lookin out the window
You’re still lost in some old sound
Lookin out the window
Now you’re lost in some old sound
Thursday Night
In a smoky bar
With a sticky floor
A girl with green eyes was having trouble near the door
So for better or drunk I went and got myself involved
When the cops rolled up he was still out cold
I got a long kiss and took the number to her phone
But they cuffed me anyways you know justice just aint the law
Then it occurred to me I never learn a thing
Just how to get away the next time
So carry on I won’t be long its only Thursday night
And its so damn fun but I always end up
Somehow paying for my good times
So pour em strong cuz life goes on its only Thursday night
Well the very next week id be the one to blame
I had a pitcher too many and a lot to say
Found myself sittin on the wrong end of a bet
When my friends came and grabbed me up off the floor
My face was still pretty but my pride was sore
We dusted ourselves right off and went on to the next
Then it occurred to me I never learn a thing
Just how to get away the next time
So carry on I won’t be long its only Thursday night
And its so damn fun but I always end up
Somehow paying for my good times
So pour em strong cuz life goes on its only Thursday night
Then it occurred to me I never learn a thing
Just how to get away the next time
So carry on I won’t be long
its only Thursday night
And its so damn fun but I always end up
Somehow paying for my good times
So pour em strong cuz life goes on
Its only Thursday night
The Flood
Coming outta Hillsborough
With the truck loaded down
Looks like we’ll make our own damn luck this time around
Yeah
When I made my first batch I was only 17
It left me with a taste for dirty finer things
But come on keep your spirits high
That white lightnings in my blood
I won’t leave your county dry
Cuz I’m about to make it flood
Comin back to Hillsborough with the
Truck riding light
Cuz everybody wanna taste
That East Lake Rye
I was almost back to Hillsborough
When the lights flashed red
I left my secrets lying in the Eno River bed
But come on keep your spirits high
That white lightnings in my blood
I won’t leave your county dry
Cuz I’m about to make it flood
CTUY
I’ve got a million reasons
You’ve got a wrong to right
I know its on short notice
We gotta leave tonight
I don’t expect an answer
That’s not the price I paid
Wait for the world to matter
But the world is always late
Hey baby I don’t wanna keep it up
I’m only getting by
Hey baby I don’t ever care enough
And I can’t tell you why
I’m always dodging questions
You’re always chasing truth
This life is full of choices
I’ve chosen not to choose
Could be our golden ticket
Don’t stop and overthink
Come out in open water
You push me to the brink
Hey baby I don’t wanna keep it up
I’m only getting by
Hey baby I don’t ever care enough
And I can’t tell you
Why is all this happening
My blue skies are blackening
And I can’t get caught playing in the rain
Why are you so far away
Tried to call and it just rang
Left a message all that I could say
Is hey baby
I don’t think you’re keeping up
Were young, and sad, and high
Hey baby I don’t ever care enough
And I can’t tell you why
Hiraeth
Give me the salt
Give me the sea
And I’ll give you the love
The love that you need
Give me the sweet salvation
Wanna breathe the air you breathe
You be the salt
And I’ll be the sea
And we could get married in the middle of June
A sunny day in the afternoon
Oh you wear white
Baby I’ll wear white too
Then we’ll go dancing til our legs go numb
Let the world fall apart take it all as it comes
Can we live for a while
In this blissful ignorance?
Give me the salt
Give me the sea
Let me lie hear with you
And not ever leave
Where do we go
I’m not Gonna wait around to see
So I’ll give me to you
If you give you to me
And we can get married in the middle of June
A sunny day in the afternoon
Oh you wear white
Baby I’ll wear white too
Then we’ll go dancing til our legs go numb
Young and dumb and so in love
Can we live for a while
In this blissful ignorance?
So let’s get married in the middle of June
Who cares if they say that it’s way too soon
Oh you wear white
Baby I’ll wear white too
Then we’ll go laughing til our lungs go numb
Let me lie in your arms
We don’t need anyone
Can we die right here
In this blissful ignorance?
Meet You There
Living young and wild and free
What does this world have left for me
I know I’ve got a lot to see
Before I’m shown the door
Living young and wild and free
What does this world hold next for me?
I know I’ve got a lot to see before
I’m shown the door
But I’ve been running round in Reno bars
Smoking cigarettes with girls in back of Fancy cars
Don’t talk about the weather, show me your scars
You know I’m after so much more
But you say
Don’t you ever wanna take ride to nowhere?
And only worry bout the wind up in your hair
I know you say you don’t know how
But try, for me, to be here now
Young and wild and free
I’ll meet you there
Living young and wild and free
Why am I never where I’m supposed to be?
I wish that you could just stay with me
We’d live happily ever bored
But I’ve been drinking cheap liquor in your daddys ‘vette
My wheels turning still and you can bet
I’m always planning out our next steps
You know I’d marry you this June
But you say
Don’t you ever wanna take ride to nowhere?
And only worry bout the wind up in your hair
I know you say you don’t know how
but try, for me, to be here now
Don’t you ever wanna take ride to nowhere?
And only worry bout the wind up in your hair
I know you say you don’t know how
but baby try to be here now
Young and wild and free
I’ll meet you there
Young and wild and free
I’ll meet you there
Cowboys
Driftin through the neon lights
We’re like cowboys in the night
Hang out buckles from our beds
And when the morning hits our eyes
We’ll ignore the warning signs
Rather drink ourselves to death
And we thought it never ending
So we laugh and sing along
Screaming who are we pretending
Who cares who we are?
Cause who’ll we’ll be is still to come
So let’s just drink and act like cowboys
Til our glory days are done
And now it’s drinking too much wine
Feels like cowboys everytime
Wake up with a pounding head
Can you belive how long we’d last?
Wish I could still drink like that
It’s 8pm let’s go to bed
And we thought it never ending
Young and dumb and so naive
Baby who are we pretending
Can you belive the kids we were?
Going out and having fun
So let’s just drink and act like cowboys
Til our glory days are done
Drifting through those neon lights
We can be cowboys if we like
We’ll start sleeping when we’re dead
Turn To Gold
Leaves fall soft but
Me im crashing
Fast and hard with each new day that passes by
Love leaves the door open a crack and
So I gotta tell you how I feel this time
Take a chance on me now
Honey you won’t regret it
Gone are the nights we been flying alone
I’ll do what it takes to make you feel electric
Fall with me, then we’ll see
Maybe our life will turn to gold
Pinch me
Cuz Im a stranger to this feeling
The stars are dancing circles in my head
Finding
The special in the every day
Would be easy with you lying in my bed
So take a chance on me now
Honey you won’t regret it
Gone are the nights we been flying alone
I’ll do what it takes to make you feel electric
Fall with me, then we’ll see
Maybe our life will turn to gold
Gold – GOLD – All that glitters must be
Gold – GOLD – I love you have I ever told
Gold – GOLD – you glitter so you must be
Gold – GOLD – GOOOOO
Take a chance on me now
Honey you won’t regret it
Gone are the nights we been flying alone
I’ll do what it takes to make you feel electric
Fall with me, then we’ll see
Maybe our life will turn to gold
