Pick your head up till the bottles empty Lay your head down and try to forget me Pick your head up till the bottles empty Lay your head down and fucking forget me Year after year We fail and struggle just because of fear But I'm assured that we'll find something real But we just make mistake after mistake So pick your head up, lay it down And seal your fate

PA to NJ 03:12
These days I wake up to A burning sun thats shining through My window at 3:00 PM Of course you’re busy like all my friends But I’ve been trying harder now To reach the roots under tis town Pull them up and plant something that I can call my own So lets move forward Keep the past where it belongs Buried under words and songs I thought I told you that I was wrong And I know that I couldn’t fix you if I tried Because you’re just not the one for me You call me out on my past But it’s like walking on glass Because you’re just not comfortable with me These nights I go to bed Warm pillow under my head I flip it over to find relief But I still smell you on these sheets So what’s a boy supposed to do Try and escape the ghost of you Every night gets harder as I struggle to forget your name So lets move forward Keep the past where it belongs Buried under words and songs I thought I told you that I was wrong So lets try harder Do the things we want to do I’ll hand you this IOU And promise that I’ll see you soon So I take the next train home PA to NJ alone Without a single person to phone Alone [Chorus] So I’m driving myself home And I called to let you know This time I’m not letting go So I’m driving myself home And I’ll have you fucking know This time I’m not alone

Twenty-Three 02:04
Not twenty-three forever And I'm not wasting time Well I can't sit and blame this all on you But the way you're standing in my driveway The streetlights make it arguably true I tried to take hold of myself But these pictures of you and I Fucking waste of time Keep falling from my shelf And oh, slow down You're out of touch You're out of bounds And I don't want to feel left six feet beneath the ground And oh, I know You didn't mean to do anything to me You don't mean anything to me Not twenty-three forever And I'm not wasting time Not twenty-three for the rest of our lives And so we pull off into This parking lot of an old town we know And I'm not going home all alone No I just can't afford to let this go I'm not going home

Driving fast with the windows half way down My ashtrays filling up I'm getting closer to your town And I don't mind the cold, but the pressures getting old To live up to your expectations I feel I might unfold And this thing called love What is it anyway? It's just a selfish vice to make everyone feel okay But if your family's not enough And if your heartbeats slowing down I'll be standing at your front steps with my feet frozen to the ground This is a message to all the other boys standing right outside your room They'll never know you like I do (They'll never know you like I do) This is a message to all the other boys standing right outside your room They'll never know you like I do (They'll never know you) These fighting words left us where we are Which is sitting awkwardly on your street Waiting in your car for someone to say a thing You know for sure it won't be me These stubborn bones have long been known to slow up every decent thing And I honestly believe I love you more then what's his name? That stupid clown or anyone else that you ever meet This is a message to all the other boys standing right outside your room They'll never know you like I do (They'll never know you like I do) This is a message to all the other boys standing right outside your room They'll never know you like I do (They'll never know you) These fighting words have kept my head down for months Locked away in my room putting ice on the punch These fighting words have kept us right where we are Stuck with no friends but alcohol, alone at the bar (Do you honestly not see? That nobody knows you quite like me) (Do you honestly not see that nobody knows you)
