Habit Like Home

I’ve been on a losing streak since I turned 18 that fall
And looking back on it, it’s funny I thought I was strong
Maybe I need a change. Maybe I need the same.
I hate how all these choices that I make keep me awake
And I feel like I know that there’s something not here and it’s home
I wanna go
To the place where I spent those nights with you in my arms
Leaning back on the window like we’re lying in the stars
Now I must admit I could get used to this
However it may go, I can’t quit a habit like home
And now I see things I know
This city of stone
And looking back on it, it’s funny cause I’m not alone
And now I’m learning to let go
I’m learning to let go
I’m sick of getting told I’m getting old, I’m never sold
So fuck these things I can’t control
I wanna go
To the place where I spent those nights with you in my arms
Leaning back on the window like we’re lying in the stars
Now I must admit I could get used to this
However it may go, I can’t quit a habit like home

I kind of love the fact that you take up all my time
Stay on my mind
I’ve had enough of you, but I can’t stop and never will
You’re the gasoline that keeps my engine running
You’re overpriced and just a spark can start a fire
A part of me died off when you left
And now we’re parting ways
I’m neck deep in the letters that you wrote me coming home each day
And I hate every reminder of you
But I can’t help
But I can’t help but keep them close
I’m leaving footprints on the floorboards
‘Til 4 or 5 AM
I’m wondering what the hell just happened, and how you left so fast
I look around this empty room, where I used to hang your paintings
But now there’s only dust, there’s only dust, it won’t be us
A part of me died off when you left
And now we’re parting ways
I’m neck deep in the letters that you wrote me coming home each day
And I hate every reminder of you
But I know that
But I know that I can’t go back
A part of me died off when you left
And now we’re parting ways
I’m neck deep in the letters that you wrote me coming home each day
(I hate every reminder of)
A part of me died off when you left
(I hate every reminder of)
And now we’re parting ways
(I hate every reminder of)
I’m neck deep in the letters that you wrote me coming home each day
(I hate every reminder of you)

Rest

Forgetting what we’ve built on, if this all falls apart
Tell me what you’re thinking while you’re half asleep there in my arms
I’ll try another day
When the tires aren’t spinning
And I can’t take a break
Cause I’ve got a stutter, for every point you make
And maybe I would stay for your sake as soon as I start winning all the worthless things
We’re too stubborn to budge on
No matter how we scream
Forgetting what we’ve built on, if this all falls apart
Tell me what you’re thinking while you’re half asleep there in my arms
Because shortened breath and love songs feed a fiery heart-to-heart
After all this time of saying how you feel maybe for once
I’ll start
Another grave
When the ground starts dying on our anniversary
Just to make it sore enough
To move onto better things
Maybe I would stay for your sake as soon as I start digging up all the important things
I thought we had buried
Intending to part ways
Forgetting what we’ve built on, if this all falls apart
Tell me, what you’re thinking while you’re half asleep there in my arms
Because shortened breath and love songs feed a fiery heart-to-heart
After all this time of saying how you feel maybe for once
I’ll start
Forgetting what we’ve built on, if this all falls apart
Tell me, what you’re thinking while you’re half asleep there in my arms
Because shortened breath and love songs feed a fiery heart-to-heart
After all this time of saying how you feel maybe for once
I’ll start

I'm Not Waiting

Shaking on the phone when I hear you
Tell me that I don’t love you the way that you need me to
After years of believing in all of what can’t be
I’m broken in
We’re broken up
And I’m running
I guess you think that he’ll be so much more
Down to earth ready to catch you
But when you fall from the sky like a dreamer with your head in the clouds
You’re gonna hit the ground
While I’m not waiting around
You come by to get your things
And hand me a note that says, you’ll always be there and always love me
I feel the guilt in your scarlet eyes
But guilt’s not enough to build trust
To build love
To build us
I guess you think that he’ll be so much more
Down to earth ready to catch you
But when you fall from the sky like a dreamer with your head in the clouds
You’re gonna hit the ground
While I’m not waiting around
We used to be golden
But this bridge is broken
I guess you think that he’ll be so much more
Down to earth ready to catch you
But when you fall from the sky like a dreamer with your head in the clouds
You’re gonna hit the ground
While I’m not waiting around
I guess you think that he’ll be so much more
Down to earth ready to catch you
But when you fall from the sky like a dreamer with your head in the clouds
You’re gonna hit the ground
While I’m not waiting around

Where did the man go?
Been quiet here next door these past few weeks
His tapping used to help me fall asleep
Had I been mistaken
They say there was no man, just an empty dried up heap
Of veins that sprung a leak
Leaving him smelling the carpet
They swept up his remains
His manhood minus pride, now a pile of shame
No but I can’t stay the same
Cause I’ll have boys some day he’d tell me
Through that plaster wall
Which gave away
And left me standing dazed
Smelling the carpet
I’m standing here
Too afraid to leave
And now my balding chest of hair
A tree with falling leaves
Please don’t take it yet
I swear I’m still a boy
Only drop what’s left of my time
So I can still enjoy
Life on the carpet
Life on the carpet
I’m standing here
Too afraid to leave
And now my balding chest of hair
A tree with falling leaves
Please don’t take it yet
I swear I’m still a boy
Only drop what’s left of my time
So I can still enjoy
Life on the carpet
Life on the carpet
