1. We Don’t Talk
2. The Kid
3. Hey
4. Be the Player, Not the Poet
5. Birthday
I’ve been seeing
Somebody about it in my sleep
We don’t talk we just walk
And it’s been helping me
Cause I lost it again on the weekend
Man I was off my face
Like when people change cause they’re in LA
There’s something sad about that place
I’ve been feeling
Some of the shit I don’t believe in
Saw my picture in a frame
Hanging up in the hallway
And I’ve been sleeping
Sust to walk away the feeling
Saw my picture up in flames
Still hanging in the hallway
Caught myself thinking
About who’s really inside this glass
But we don’t talk when we get caught
Rather run the other way than come last
Cause I see myself on the top shelf
And I’m staring back down at me
Yeah we don’t drink we just Sit here and sink
Ain’t that one way of being free
I’ve been feeling
Some of the shit I don’t believe in
Saw my picture in a frame
Hanging up in the hallway
And I’ve been sleeping
Sust to walk away the feeling
Saw my picture up in flames
Still hanging in the hallway
2. The Kid
I feel weird i n this dress
Didn’t you picture me with pinstriped legs
Truth is I think you met me at my best
Under the table now I’m scared to death
Cause I take it to the heart
And now I’m going under
I’m out looking for the stars
But they’re out looking for the dark
I got a handful of hope
But the voice in my head
Is still tying me up
With every word unsaid
I wanna hand it to ya
But my lace caught on the fence
Was it more than
Just a loose end
Drown me out
I wanna hear all about you for now
I’ll take the floor and you can take the couch
Baby just watch the door as I watch your mouth
Cause I take it to the heart
And now I’m going under
I’m out looking for the stars
But they’re out looking for the dark
I got a handful of hope
But the voice in my head
Is still tying me up
With every word unsaid
I wanna hand it to ya
But my lace caught on the fence
Was it more than
Just a loose end
3. Hey
Hey I got a heart
I found it in the backyard
When I couldn’t sleep cause I heard a scream
So I took a walk and it followed me
Right to the end of the one way street
Where I hit my friend the other week
And for a minute there swear I was blind
He said I don’t mind if you don’t mind
No I don’t mind if you don’t mind
Hey I got a heart
I found it in the backyard
For a minute there swear I was blind
But i still shine from time to time
I get mad about what I can’t have
And I hate it that I’m like that
Stopped looking for a last escape
When I realised there were no gates
Cause at 22 he got his way
Down from the stairs we used to play
A little too much pain than he could afford
And a little help from an extension cord
Hey I got a heart
I found it in the backyard
For a minute there swear I was blind
But i still shine from time to time
4. Be the Player, Not the Poet
Spent 2 hours too long
On a wasted video call
Telling you about what’s going on with me
My nintendo addiction and all
About how I breathe in its air
Cause it’s warm and it takes me back home
But who am I to expect you to care
When I’m paying you to sit on the phone
Then she said remove your head from it
Try being the player not the poet
She’s growing up good on bad advice
She’s taking the inch but in time she’ll take the mile
I found you asleep in the sun
So I pulled out my camera for once
I hovered on the trigger but the picture changed
So I cried and went back to my game
And I should learn that there are no words
To bring back the year that I missed
But there’s no place like a warzone when I’m in a sweatshirt
So thanks but I’m fine playing this
Then she said remove your head from it
Try being the player not the poet
She’s growing up good on bad advice
She’s taking the inch but in time she’ll take the mile
5. Birthday
I’m afraid
Of my tendency to look the other way
And I can’t explain
Why I packed for the night but I planned to overstay
Not acting my age
He set the table as I poured the cornflakes
Know how to lock myself away
When it’s october and I’m avoiding my birthday
And you’re making me so alone
That if I had no one
I don’t think I’d hate it
Now come come on
It only happens once
And I just wanna waste it
I don’t wanna carry on
And I don’t wanna play the part
I don’t wanna start to feel
Like there’s something I forgot
I don’t wanna retrace my steps
Until I find my heart
Gripping on to the door frame
Like a kid on his first day
And you’re making me so alone
That if I had no one
I don’t think I’d hate it
Now come come on
It only happens once
And I just wanna waste it
