The Story So Far

I got a good mind for awful
Choices but that's okay
In over my head, and trying to make sense
Of everything we do and say
Open perspective and vision
Defined the judgement call
But I'd prefer the consequences
Over nothing at all
We're only ever learning to take it all in stride
And even if we have it, it just takes some time to find
And so the story goes, but why am I writing so slow?
Try to understand, we're not impossible
And she's beautiful, and if you saw her you'd know
The only time I'm wasting is my own
And your eyes can say all the things we
Both know are left unsaid
And this is the silence in the air
That's worse alone inside my head
Nothing to lose in the long run
So check the open doors
'Cause what's behind could be the worst thing
That I could have ignored
We're only ever learning to take it all in stride
But even if we have it, it just takes some time to find
And so the story goes, but why am I writing so slow?
Try to understand, we're not impossible
And she's beautiful, and if you saw her you'd know
The only time I'm wasting is my own

I got a sense of clarity from the things that go unnoticed
For the longest time these eyes were always out of focus
And seeing who you really are, it put me at my lowest
And ever since then all you do is show what I have missed
Will I ever learn of what I already know?
Looking down on things we never speak of
Maybe someday soon I'll finally let this go
For what it's worth I put some space between us
I let myself get withered down, my head torn up in scratches
Who would've thought that alcohol dries up and turns to ashes?
And overall it's not that I want more from you in that sense
But what it is that's killing me is how long we've been like this
Will I ever learn of what I already know?
Looking down on things we never speak of
Maybe someday soon I'll finally let this go
For what it's worth I put some space between us
Driving home from this show, and I want you to know
That I've had way too much to drink
We really lit up the room, and still I stoop so low
Right now it's too difficult to think
Maybe I feel ashamed, but know that I'll be damned
If you can make me stray away from who I am
So I'll never let it happen again
I'll never let it happen again
I'll never let it happen again

Real

I lay down, close my eyes and try to sleep
I can't help thinking about where this path has taken me
Each twist and turn has me thrown against the wall
You're always there to remind me even when I fall
That everything's not always what it seems
That can make it harder to believe
We can't always tell if something's real
But I know still
That with you, there's no question that it's true
You make my spirit sing and I know
In all you do it really shows
You make me feel like so much more
I get up, pace back and forth around my room
I can't see how someone like me deserves someone like you
But then you hold me so close and call me beautiful
Who would guess these twist and turns leave my heart so full
And I know it'll never be perfect
We'll have fights and our worst sides will surface
But through all of the pain and the hurting
There's still no one I'd rather stand beside
I'll be your rock and you'll be mine
Everything's not always what it seems
That can make it harder to believe
We can't always tell when something's real
But I know still
That with you, there's no question that it's true
You make my spirit sing and I know
In all you do it really shows
You make me feel like so much more
That with you, there's no question that it's true
You make my spirit sing and I know
In all you do it really shows
You make me feel like so much more
So much more

This anticipation puts these words right to the test
And slowly breaks this distant pretense
Compliments about your eyes are overused at best
But yours can blur out everything else
In the room, and in my mind as well
So let's do anything that we want
And everything that we could ask for
I've had an open heart for us
Let's make this something more
'Cause things are much different than before
So let this conversation take us through these boring days
And talk of all the things we dream of
And I'll listen to every word you'll ever have to say
There's nothing that can come between us
Anymore, there never really was
So let's do anything that we want
And everything that we could ask for
I've had an open heart for us
Let's make this something more
'Cause things are much different than before
So let's do anything that we want
And everything

I'm Trying
04:23

Fortunate for us, we're not out of luck
We get to wake up again today
But as I lay in bed, running through my head
I can't help but ask myself what will go wrong today
If I knew back then what I know now
I'd like to think it'd change my life somehow
But I'm still up to no good
Not living life like I should
As I try to break these habits
But why is it so damn hard?
I'm trying to forgive, and earn forgiveness too
To shake off all the rust, emerge from this brand new
It's such an uphill climb, to reach these peaks in time
And to overcome this mountain, I've built in my own life
I'm trying to hold on, I'm trying to let go
The flames are not all gone, just aren't quite as strong
But she deserves the best, so much better than the rest
And that's who I want to be, guess we'll have to wait and see
When life shoves me down to the ground
If I get back up, or if I'm down and out
If I knew back then what I know now
I'd like to think it'd change my life somehow
But I'm still up to no good
Not living life like I should
As I try to break these habits
But why is it so damn hard?
I am trying to forgive, I am trying to forget
I am trying, I am trying
And I look back on another day
When life was simple and we'd be okay
But that was all in the past
These times just weren't meant to last
So we look for something to numb the pain
If I knew back then what I know now...
