Scarecrow 04:04
Cut me down from these roof beams I’ve been swinging like a scarecrow I’ve been living in a bad dream Forgive my name Forget my sins Remember dancing in the stairwell? Remember getting high in brooklyn? I’m not completely naive I knew that it was the end I heard you crying on the back porch I heard you’re marrying your boyfriend You feel like heaven then hell and sometimes nothing at all But honestly, I’m at my happiest When you’re not in my thoughts Remember when You were mine? I was twenty, you were nineteen We were mapping out our whole lives Should I have married you then? Have you forgotten my name? And tell me, baby, have all the lips you kissed since mine tasted or felt the same?

I'm stuck in a mess / When did this happen? I get lost inside my head /All my friends leave me for dead Twenty five isn't that old / Where did the time go? They got names for things like this / Like a quarter-life crisis I try to push it away I didn’t recognize just what you were Your lips on fire and I like the burn And when we kiss it's like you're breaking my heart So keep on breaking my heart You rip right into my chest / Cause you know how I like it When I say it with a please / When I'm asking on my knees My God, I feel so alive / Whenever I touch you When the the sunlight hits your hair / When the sunlight’s all you wear I just get carried away [Chs] Well, I’ve only had a taste Hell, it’s more than I can take Baby, I just wanna waste away, with you Maybe I don’t want to wait I try to push you away / But I can't seem to let go You're the one I want the most / When you're taking off your clothes I just can't look away [Chs]

Teenager 04:48
Sitting in my car staring at your photograph The memories rushing back The way your hair used to smell Summer has since come and gone and I still feel the same I've got no one to blame Except maybe myself Oh my god, you make me feel so alive You make me feel like a teenager You make me feel like a heartbreaker Oh my love, won't you take me out tonight I wanna feel like a teenager I wanna feel like a heartbreaker Hanging up the phone and I was barely hanging on The radio was playing our song And I still miss you like hell Haunted by the words that I'd forgotten how to say Think I forgot how to pray I used to do it so well Your chest is a sun that rises and sets when you breathe And your heart is a drum, though you're gone I can still hear the beats [Chs] See I blinded myself with dreams that haven't come true And I never felt so in love as when I was with you [Chs] May you find whatever it is you think that you need May the times you smile outnumber the times you bleed

I met a girl beneath the stars Her eyes reflecting light from light years away Nervous and buzzed outside the bar My words tripping over my teeth leaving me with nothing to say Everything changed I'm not the same Give me some more I want it all You make me forget who I have been I love the way your head feels on my chest I want my skin against your skin I think you want it too by the way you’re barely wearing that dress
5.
We are at the start Breathe the magic in going down the road into The wide open air We can steer ourselves any direction that we choose The places we'll go Oh, the places we'll go The course we're on is still unmarked But just one light can chase away the dark So fold the map and follow your heart Some hope and fears are hard to tell apart The places we'll go Oh, the places we'll go

Heyo 04:20
I am standing on the street where we first kissed Pull the last drag from my cigarette And I wonder for a moment where you are And in that moment wish we’d never met When I’m drowning in the pain / When I almost feel insane There’s a song I sing when the words don’t come out right It goes Heyo The city really comes alive at night I can feel the energy beneath my feet I love it but it makes me miss my friends I see their faces in every stranger that I meet When I’m terrified of change / But so happy it’s insane There’s a song I sing when the words don’t come out right It goes Heyo Cause I know I gotta let go and be alive Oh my god, it’s been the strangest year I went down and signed the lease today And I can taste the Yuengling on your lips Your kiss says more than you could ever say It says Heyo Baby, I know we gotta let go, and be alive
