Summer Dress
02:13
|

If you're going to make me cry, in this weather, at least wear your summer dress, like you used to You looked so pretty, rolling around in bed, I'll never brush hair from
I'll never brush hair from, your face again.
I'll never brush hair from
If you're going to make me cry, in this weather, at least wear your summer dress, like you used to
You looked so pretty, rolling around in bed, I'll never brush hair from
I'll never brush hair from, your face again.
And if you throw away your summer dress, you're throwing away the days in bed On a Sunday afternoon when I said, I'd never brush hair from

Daffodil
03:34
|
|||
Trying to keep my head screwed on, I promise if I bite my tongue, I'll never say anything that'll hurt you
When I knock on your front door, so many things to be happy for, so why can't I smile like you?
You deserve, someone you makes you laugh, someone who makes you cry Someone who puts tears back in your eyes
You mean more to me than anything, but sometimes I can't help but think If you're a daffodil, maybe I am making you wither
Yellow petals in the summertime, I know you want some piece of mind
But if you're a daffodil, maybe I'm the snow and the winter
Am I falling out of touch? Or not trying hard enough?
Every time you're sad it kills me too
I just want to hold your hand, but I can't help feel thorns in the palms of everyone I love
You deserve, someone who makes you smile, someone who's in your dreams
Someone who won't just pack up and leave
Run my fingers through your hair, watch you slip right through my hands
I feel nothing lying there, if only you could understand cause,
I'm falling apart no matter how hard you hold me
Please let me go you'd be better without me
If you're a daffodil, maybe I'm the snow and the winter
The snow and the winter

Raindrop
03:37
|

I'll be the very first, raindrop to leave, but after me, it'll all come pouring down
I never wanted to admit, that you were so bad for me. I didn't want to rip the band-aid off,
Even though you caused all these wounds, cause love fucks with your head and makes you want to
Kiss all those who won't let you breathe, you're what I want but not what I need
And I still miss wasting days with you, and sleeping into the afternoon
We'd lay under the tin roof rain and talk about the weather, and how we'll escape overseas, naive, thinking love just lasts forever
I'll be the very first, raindrop to leave, but after me, it'll all come pouring down
I ignored the whole time you were hurting me, I'd rather be blind than honest and tell you that I still feel fine, bury all the doubt inside, under mountains of fake reassurance that everything's okay
But then I'll kiss you back and sleep at your house, despite that those lips were used on someone else
We'd sit next to the window pane with arms around each other,
you made me want to laugh and want to cry, how do I know if I really love her?
And I still miss the way your perfume smells, or maybe I just can't get it out of my head, cause I spent so much time, wasting time on you

Learn To Swim
03:17
|

I never smoked a cigarette, but now when I breathe out, there's something empty in my chest There's nothing left
I never smoked a cigarette, but now when I breathe out, there's something empty on my breath There's nothing left
I promised myself, that I wouldn't spend every minute, judging like I'm not good enough, I'm sick of the voice in my head
Saying I'll never amount to anything, maybe I need some help, All these voicemails I left myself
Friday afternoon, legs crossed on the driveway as I watch the sun sets, just let me be honest for one night
All these voicemails I left myself
Sometimes I wish, I was anybody else, but I don't want to hate this skin, cause I'm stuck in here forever I'll either drown or learn to swim
I know I'll drown if I can't teach myself to swim
I'm going to teach myself to swim

Say What You Want
03:00
|
|||
I'm getting better at letting go, sometimes I grip too hard but we've held hands for too long and I'm feeling torn
Stuck in traffic at a crossroad, under streetlights when we walk home, sitting by the windowsill, the breeze pulls on your hair
I daydreamed of days spent with you, but know you never care
Tearing off this band-aid, that I wear everyday Say what you want me to be, cause I'm just fine The only time I tore my skin, was when I let you in Say what you want me to be, I'll be alright
You were the deep-end in a shallow pool, not much to your personality bad at pretending that you love me
It only stings for a little bit when I’m pulling you off my skin, and the off-white tone of the window-sill that I know you sit by still
Waiting for me all alone, but I'm never coming home
It's easy to see with hindsight, I should have known better, I should have known Everything heals with time and I've waited long enough with you,
There's nothing I can do
I'm better off with this scar tissue

Nervous Wreck
03:25
|

You think you could die your hair cause, you were never as see-through as I would like I thought I could trust my head, but I was only eighteen at the time
If you could make your bed and cover up the imprint of his spine
Wash your sheets at the laundromat, it seems like you're going there all the time
You made your bed, now sleep in it x 2
Now I can't keep my eyes shut, since we gave all of this up.
I hope I don't remember in the morning.
I'll dream like I don't regret, but I just can't forgive and forget you And I hope I don’t remember in, I hope I don’t remember in the morning
I shouldn't have let you back in, gave you another chance to change my face I pretended you were here, but you were off with him filling your empty space
My head filled all the hallways with watercolour pictures of you leaving
But I remember wearing headphones, lying in bed trying to drown out the sound of your heavy
And honestly, I never expected much more than you gave, I never expected much more than the days I wasted on you
And honestly, I lie there at night and I think of your face, I hate myself, I’m a fucking disgrace
Because I can’t let you go

Hopeless
00:59
|
|||
We laughed and cried, the fog covered the windshield, on this autumn night and I don't remember how deep my breathing was, but I swear I could, I never gave it another thought, I felt hollow but I swear I'm not Hopeless.
I'm sick of this place, the streets just feel so empty and all that I can taste is cold sweat on the tip of my tongue, I'm sick of your face for home this don't show a smile, somewhere out there is where I belong.

Broken Glass
03:29
|
|||
I'm just, a victim of circumstance, a photo with broken glass
That you left hang on the wall, you tell me that you miss me it means nothing at all
And I can't help but grind my teeth, when I see you in the street
We know it didn't work out, but you can't tell me that you want it now
And in the summer rain, the smell reminds me of the days, that we'd get the train But that's all gone away, that's all gone away
Sometimes I wish we, could have stayed the same, lying silent side by side under the tin roof rain
But things don't always work out that way, I'm just broken glass in your picture frame,
Broken glass in your picture, glass in your picture frame
We broke up, because we can't get along and it’s sad to think I kept holding on
To the thought that we'd get better again, I hoped that sleeps apart would give us some time to mend
But we can't, be together since we've fallen apart and I don't blame you for the things that you aren't
Cause in my head I can't
I still, feel your summer tears, on my empty cheek, week after week
But things don't always work out that way, I'm just broken glass in your picture frame,
Broken glass in your picture, glass in your picture frame

Replace Me
02:50
|
|||
The trees remind me of, the Armidale winter, where we used to go for Christmas when mum and Dad were still together
Is this everything I've been, on the side of a driveway, I don't fit in
I can't stop second guessing, if I don't fit the puzzle am I really family?
Everybody leaves, skeletons like trees
My brittle bones would break if you tried hard enough to break me Hollow in the wind, empty in this skin
I know I don't fit in and I am scared that you'll replace me
It hurts to know I'm still a waste of space in someone's head I'll laugh about it, till it hurts, I'm choking on regret
It's hard to be someone you're not, I can't be something I'm not If I stay and be a part, will I be missed when I am not?
But I don't want to have to leave, cause I need some room to breathe
If you could tell me now, that things would be okay then I'll go straight back to sleep One day you'll cut all your dead flowers
I'll wither now, before I get older

Stay
03:21
|
|||
I don't want to stay
Soon I'll be stuck here forever, nail my hands to the floor, so we can bleed out, together
Don't want to stay anymore
Sing to myself what I should have said to you,
Whisper softly, talk to me slowly
I've been trying to kill some time before you let me live
I spent most of my year homesick, sitting in this bedroom, If home is where the heart is I'm so far away
I feel myself imprisoned, inside the walls I live in
I'm pulling out these nails from my hands cause I know I don't want to stay
I'm buried by my own two legs, concrete knees bring me down And inside me ambition begs, I hope I don't let him drown
Give me something else to lean on, give me something else to breathe Cause I'm sick and tired of waiting here to die and fall asleep
I don’t want to stay
I spent most of my year homesick

Absent
02:39
|

I didn't make it to the airport, I won't be there when you land
I hope that you don't think that I was just faking sick, to get in your head I didn't make it to your birthday, blew out the candles alone
I sent you a letter, to make it all better, but no piece of paper replaces those nights at home
I'm sorry I can't help that I'm never there
I know sometimes I act that I couldn't care
I promise that I miss you, these teeth just can't be lied through
I'll be back in your bed soon, your front room, but in the morning I'll have to go
Sorry that you didn't know
I didn't make it to the goodbye, or when your bags hit the floor
You unpacked your clothes over the floor alone
Wait for a knock on the door
Sorry that you didn't know
And, oh-oh-oh
Sometimes I think I'm better off alone oh-ooneee
I hate myself and all my skin and bo-oo-one
Sorry that you didn't know
You'll be so much better off and I'll just be more hollow

Spring Forever
03:20
|
|||
We fell apart as the leaves turned red, words you said in Autumn can still hurt me in the Summer
My skin, always dries out when the seasons change, summer to winter my face turns grey with this head cold
It's warmer in the winter air than in bed with you, these cracked lips don't kiss like they used to
We were never going to stay together It can't be spring forever
We fell apart as the leaves turned red, words you said in Autumn can still hurt me in the Summer We were never going to stay together, it can't be spring forever
Four white walls, we're barely talking anymore I left my clothes piled on the floor next to your bed Your pillowcase knows where I put my head to rest and where you used to wear my trust before you got
undressed
And if I kiss you with this sore throat, will you feel the same as I've felt Every time I've tried to swallow your words
And if you choke on everything that I said, will you feel the same as I did On that Autumn morning
