Second Chances

I don’t know what it is, what it is that makes me this way
I don’t know why everything’s always on replay
I don’t wanna make it hurt if it just won’t go away
I don’t wanna keep myself stuck in this same place
Took a chance knowing I couldn’t break your fall
Took a chance knowing I wasn’t ready at all
Took a chance on love hoping it would heal all things
Took a chance on all the pain it would bring
I was scared of being second now I give second chances
I was too busy being worried, I didn’t see what was in front of me
But I do now
I don’t know what it is, what it is that makes me this way
Always looking too deep into everything you say
Always looking for a way to gain some control
I don’t wanna keep myself from letting go
I was scared of being second now I give second chances
I was too busy being worried, I didn’t see what was in front of me
But I do now
Background singing: se-cond chan-ces
Always tried to keep you close
Knowing that the door was closed
Sometimes you run just to fall
Always tried to come in first
But somehow it just got worse
Turns out it wasn’t a race at all
I was scared of being second now I give second chances
I was too busy being worried, I didn’t see what was in front of me
But I do now
I was scared of being second now I give second chances
I was too busy being worried, I didn’t see what was in front of me
But I do now

All My Plants Are Dead

All my plants are dead
And that feels like a sign
We’re spending the holidays all alone
Except for the ones on the front line
And I can’t help but cry
Dreaming about
Crowded rooms and lit up stages
Bars where you had to shout
But it’s not the same anymore
I’m tired of the news (echo)
And the lies that we’re told (echo)
All for profit and gain of power
In the business of selling souls
There’s nowhere to run (echo)
No hope in a king (echo)
Left to our own devices
To make it till spring
But it’s not the same anymore
No, it’s not the same anymore
It’s too warm for November, it still feels like it’s June
Is it a waste of a year or just a long afternoon?
Are we living through history, is it all coming to an end?
Tell me when will life begin again
Tell me when will life begin again
Unprecedented times
“We’ll be fine”
Unprecedented times
“We’ll be alright”
It’s too warm for November, it still feels like it’s June
Is it a waste of a year or just a long afternoon?
Are we living through history, is it all coming to an end?
Tell me when will life begin again
Tell me when will life begin again

No Turning Back Now
05:47

Lately I can’t sleep
I think the stress has got to me
And it leaves me tossing and turning at night
I can’t handle all the news
Or figure out what I’m to do
So I just fixate on the street lights
It’s like a reoccurring dream
Where everything’s extreme
No middle ground to stand firmly upon
This isn’t how I thought it’d be
Barely over twenty-three
It feels like I’ve been running for so long
And I am drowning
And I keep falling down
Cuz sometimes you build a dam
Just to keep it all in
But the walls began to crack
And there’s no turning back now
As I watch the cars pass by
I sing a solemn lullaby
For the life I knew before
Because everything has changed
And no one’s here to take the blame
At some point you can’t run anymore
And I am drowning
And I keep falling
Sometimes you build a dam
Just to keep it all in
So you board up your mind
And leave it all behind
Cuz sometimes you build a dam
Just to keep it all in
But the walls began to crack
And there’s no turning back now
I thought that I could let it out
All that’s been building till now
But there’s too much to unpack
So I guess I’ll hold it back now

I’m not good with directions
I go the way I remember the most
I’m not the most attentive
But I will listen when you feel alone
I am late almost always
I spend most days in my mind
But I’ll be there on your birthday
Even if I am falling behind
I will not claim to be something more
Something more than what I have to give
I will not ask you to give me the world
Just please don’t grow tired of me
Just say that you want me
I place blame when I’m angry
But that is few and far in between
I’m not good at quick decisions
But I’m passionate about what matters to me
I will not claim to be something more
Something more than what I have to give
I will not ask you to give me the world
Just please don’t grow tired of me
Just say that you want me
I’m not perfect, though I’ve tried to be
This could be worth it
So please don’t grow tired of me
Just say that you love me
I will not claim to be something more
Something more than what I have to give
I will not ask you to give me the world
Just please don’t grow tired of me
Just say that you want me

Nostalgia

Alarm goes off again
I awake to the sound of rain
Still startled by my thoughts
Was it real or just a dream?
So vivid and so real
Felt like I was in your arms again
As if time stood still
As if it was all the same
But you are lost
In my memory
Fabricated by nostalgia, you’re never leaving me
Romanticizing a broken heart is all that I can see
And I know that I could never have you
So I’ll see you in my dreams
That’s enough for me
My mind began to wander
I take a trip down to the past
And all that’s left to ponder
Is how we could never last
An end I never saw
Until it looked me in the eye
I questioned what went wrong
As if the how could change the why
But you are lost
In my memory
Fabricated by nostalgia, you’re never leaving me
Romanticizing a broken heart is all that I can see
And I know that I could never have you
So I’ll see you in my dreams
That’s enough for me
But you are lost
In my memory
Fabricated by nostalgia, you’re never leaving me
Romanticizing a broken heart is all that I can see
And I know that I could never have you
So I’ll see you in my dreams
That’s enough for me

Blame
03:46

Looking in the mirror
At my own worst enemy
And my vision’s getting clearer
After everything’s been blurry
Now I think I found the answer
Of who I’m meant to be
And what you mean to me
I was better off on my own
When I sang “Please, winter come”
But I was scared of letting you go
So I just kept it to the song
I’ve been running from the answer
Of who I have become
And what you mean to me
Blaming you hasn’t healed a thing
It just left me still hurting
All these problems were my own to let go
I was making you a villain
To make the pain just go away
But I painted me a prison
In the sorrows of yesterday
I was searching for the answer
Of who I’m meant to be
And what you mean to me
Blaming you hasn’t healed a thing
It just left me still hurting
All these problems were my own to let go
I’m so sorry for the way I treated you before
I can’t help it, I was nervous I would lose it all
I’m so sorry for the way I treated you before
I can’t help it, I was nervous I would lose it all
