Grow 04:22
Livin' it up like it's your birthday, only time you feel at home Cause' I've always been your best friend Maybe you need some time to grow And I went outside to look at the sky Cause' I hadn't seen so many stars in my whole life And the sound of the trees was overpowered by the sea As the rain came down that warm Augusta night Taking pictures like a tourist, remember the moment when it's gone Cause' I've always been your best friend Maybe you need some time to grow And I went outside to look at the sky Cause' I hadn't seen so many stars in my whole life And the sound of the trees was overpowered by the sea As the rain came down that warm Augusta night It's all falling into place and I don't want to waste a single moment It's all just falling into place and I don't want to waste a single moment with you And we went outside to look at the sky Cause' we hadn't seen so many stars in a long time And the sound of the sea as it crashed at the beach As the rain came down that warm Augusta night

Take me far away, from this city I lost all interest and you've been stressed for weeks Dream Catcher I can't wake up, how can you forget about the damage that you've done? Dream catcher I've lost all control, can you help me find my way back home? The hardest part of leaving, is you drove me away It's easy to forget about, til' someone says your name I can't fall asleep, and you just can't wake up Both lies or apologies can't undo what is done Dream Catcher It's all gone wrong, how can you forget about the damage that you've done? Dream catcher I've lost all control, can you help me find my way back home? Your actions have no consequence, when I just get the blame It's easy to forget about, til' someone says your name The hardest part of leaving, is you drove me away It's easy to forget about, til' someone says your name The hardest part of leaving, is you drove me away It's easy to forget about, til' someone says your name Your actions have no consequence, when I just get the blame It's easy to forget about, til' someone says your name

Not deserving of your time That's why I don't know if I can make you mine Not quite sure what to do But that brown leather jacket suits you Gonna stay out so late the sun reached my eyes Cause' I dont think I'll be coming home alright Gonna stay out so late the sun burns my eyes Cause' I dont think I'll be coming home tonight Got a bottle in the back seat If you wanna act famous Got a lot of things I wish I could say But I'm always nervous Around you Gonna stay out so late the sun reached my eyes Cause' I dont think I'll be coming home alright Gonna stay out so late the sun burns my eyes Cause' I dont think I'll be coming home tonight That brown leather jacket suits you Better than I do That brown leather jacket suits you Better than I do

I like the summer, I love my friends We stay out to late, talking with the sun We appreciate, talking with the sun I'm old enough to know what right, and young enough to know what's fun The stars they look fluorite, talking with the sun Please don't say it's all just been a dream I don't wanna waste, the sentimental feeling I'm not you mum, I'm not you dad I can't tell you what to do, talking with the sun I can tell you how it feels, talking with the sun I'm old enough to know what right, and dumb enough to know whats fun The stars they look fluorite, talking with the sun Please don't say it's all just been a dream I don't wanna waste, the sentimental feeling Please don't say it's all just been a dream I don't wanna waste, the sentimental feeling

Nothing Bad 03:37
Take a look in the mirror and you'll see That I'm looking quite shit 'cause I haven't slept this week That's right pick fights with myself monologue And I'd rather have little kitties running round the backyard Front yards never green I've never watered grass 'Cause the neighbours will complain "hey is it your water day" I'm tired of the world and I'm tired of myself Why can't I just relax and let someone else pick up the slack Nothing bad Nothing bad White privileged middle class suburban lifestyle kiss my ass Keeping up with the trends spending money losing friends I don't have enough time but i really have too much If my mind is alone then i'm scared of all the costs Of living is too much for me on my own Share the costs with some friends lose the profit on some darts Parties make me sad But it's nothing bad Nothing bad Nothing bad Nothing bad Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me The wind came in from the east and it wouldn't stop until it reached the sea I'd like to be the one who has fun but it's really hard, without you Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me Nothing bad ever happens to me

Goodbyes 03:58
It gets easier with time Is what some lady said to me outside the chapel The day my oma died Oh how I cried When they called me to the altar to say my final goodbye So far away And I've always thought of myself in that way I'm lost in a dream Where reality's not feasible Real life is unachievable It'll only last six months Is what the news said to me the say my career died I woke up and cried Because I knew this wouldn't be the last time I'd have to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye So far away And I've always thought of myself in that way I'm lost in a dream Where reality's not feasible Real life is unachievable At Least I'll always want Something to talk about Something to write about At Least I'll always have Something to talk about Something to write about At least I'll always know Something to talk about Something to write about

VII 01:21
I try hard work hard And it got me this far If I was older and a man Do you think I'd be better off I like where I am it's just Sometimes it gets so hard So I'll work on myself We'll take one day at a time And if you feel like giving in just know I'm always there for you And if you feel like giving up just know I'm right there too I'll wait here with you Til' you are feeling better So I'll feel better too

Summertime and everything is fine when I'm alone It's easier to find someone to love when you are cold I can't hold on for much longer please just let me fall The moonlights hold is getting old and oh will we have fun I ripped a hole in my right sock and walked across the concrete pavers to change the song You were pouring drinks and sitting there your shirt was undone and there was chlorine in your hair Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Time was up from the start Now summer's here to break your heart And I remember the summerwave you took all my love and threw it all away in February babe I tried to run tried to run away but I didn't know the way away from you Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Time was up from the start Now summer's here to break your heart And I remember the summerwave you took all my love and threw it all away in February babe Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming Alcohol and night swimming Nicotine and daydreaming

Dinosaurs 01:53
There's a dance hall in my mind And you are there but you're only passing by There's an empty hole in my heart Growing bigger the more we drift apart Where did you go? Where did you go? I'm tired of chasing ghosts Where did you go? The dance hall in my mind Needs more people to stay alive The empty hole in my heart Growing bigger the more we drift apart Where did you go? Where did you go? I'm tired of chasing ghosts Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? I'm tired of chasing ghosts Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go? I'm tired of chasing ghosts Where did you go? Where did you go? (I'm all alone) Where did you go? (I'm all alone) I'm tired of chasing ghosts Where did you go? Where did you go? Where did you go?
