Month 03:47
Hard times rest at best but they never pass. Well, I have promised myself I'll never come back down there but now, here I am again... And Ned said "this swamp has always been waiting for us". We know we can't go through this without getting our hands dirty and stained forever. If it's the only way I will die here. Am I asking me again questions built on my perhaps? Yes I am, and this is making up my sloth, it looks like cleverness. But I still believe this will never tear me apart cause I'll always keep on following my heart. As in every romance I was worried about the beginning as well as the ending. But the first time I came in your apartment, I got scared this time could have been different. Now I look back at you leaving me in bed with the Kings of Convenience singing in the background "one of us misread". I sat my head at rest, now it happened again. Nothing's different. What am I asking for if I don't even consider the answers anymore? Obsessed with coincidences I'm waiting for my shallow desire of being alone to come back and ruin it all, like everytime at the end of my month.

Wild Years 03:13
Some nights I feel my head sinking in hell and getting back. And this knot in my throat It's like I miss the things that make me a man. If I look back, I just spent a rainy life with foggy friends And I guess I was afraid to live it my way. To face up these days I should get a punch in my chest or let it go just like the old times. Here on Earth, in this spot, or any place I will belong I won't let my bones die lonely on nights like these. I saw the bottom close to me everyday like I had an anchor at my feet. I saw my friends growing up becoming just like anyone else. I don't wanna end up in something I've never believed in. Passion dragged me through these wild years.

Cold Summer 03:54
It's 59 degrees and the cracks on these streets won't' help me staying calm in the backseat while I'm thinking about how we got here and how this hole became so cold it took me years to gain some clarity but now I'm scared, I've got no plans… I guess I'll just put off again…cause that's what I always do. Life has just washed us away by the time we leave this place will fall apart As if there was another way did this town grow up, or did I? I honestly don't know… I'm not sure if I'm done yet I'm not ready to say goodbye all I know is that I'd be missing the summer nights here. I've been hanging yellow notes around my room hoping that they will turn into something I would be proud of they say I should live in the "now" but hey, I always feel I'm one second behind my own life, never fully present. Life has just washed us away by the time we leave this place will fall apart As if there was another way did this town grow up, or did I? I honestly don't know… I'm not sure if I'm done yet I'm not ready to say goodbye all I know is that I'd be missing the summer nights here and through half closed eyes we'll realize we don't need big plans as long as we'll keep these memories safe like playing flip cup with Ben, Jen and Katie or the tequila nights at LEX (hard laughs due to this drunk honesty) And when shit gets bad we'll give "The Upsides" another spin and even though we hardly get along we'll keep looking for reasons to call this place home. (Things will never be the same. I'll come back to catch my breath. I kept my distance but I've never felt this close)

Appreciate the groom who wants you to stay but this wine is too fine, to be wasted with a guy like me. Wish them all the best and hastily leave cause nothing sucks more than feeling choked without a necktie to unbend. I've always walked with stones in my shoes cause I've never found and plugged the hole where they keep coming in. I've always blamed them for stumbles and falls but honestly I'm just scared I still haven't learned to walk the right way. Do I deserve more so I'm a victim or everytime I win is it a case and I'm an unskilled invader of the first place? I think only time will tell me but it still seems a useless formality in both cases I feel wrong and misplaced. It's all about looking at tragedies and chasing for happy endings. (keep me from sinking down) It's all about looking at tragedies and chasing for happy endings. To happily end me. Well I'm a tragedy, how can I not wish in happy endings? (just to happily end me) I'm a tragedy. I just need a happy ending to save me from the abyss.

Even though I know that I have to move on and find the courage to leave this safe spot behind my fence and grab my life by the hands I promise myself that I'll never think about my sad past I promise to bring the best with me Cause most nights fade out like I don't have a chance to sleep in bed It's not the pillow or the dark ceiling a bunch of fast songs drive me through hell and back I just need a way out but I can't find it all alone. Five years with a purpose and none of them are wasted. Moving on is what I need to leave behind wild years. Cause most nights fade out like I don't have a chance to sleep in bed It's not the pillow or the dark ceiling a bunch of sad songs drive me through hell and back I just need a way out but I can't find it all alone. I'm not sad, just overthinking and so upset cause nights here get longer.

Seconds slipping away got a choice to make we know we just can't wait anymore. There's not a day that I don't think about leaving this mess, move along, pack our bags and hit the road. …and find a new place we can call our own. We will drive along for days on these sun beaten roads. A nutty sparkle in your eyes will enlighten the red pins on the map. I thought I knew what I was looking for…or is there something that I'm still missing? On the highway 101 we began breathing in a life I hadn't felt since I was seventeen years old. So we'll roll the windows down and sing along to HP songs We won't even get to sleep and through all these shades of blue we'll find our getaway. You know I cannot stand another rainy day I'm tired and the lump in my throat won't even go away. Too many sleepless nights I put away my parka and put on a jacket. If it turns cold, that’s not my problem, I refuse to accept winter anymore.
