I’m held together by a string
I feel everything and nothing
summer's come and gone and fallen
can’t believe you’re gone
but you’re not forgotten
and I think everyday how can I be better
may I live to see a better day learn to live a better way
and I’m trying so hard to lift my eyes and kiss my scars
but these days I’ve been grounded a little underground
yeah I’ve been living underground living underground
I need to get out of my head and to the desert somewhere
take me back to San Diego where I don’t need to care
that the cold winds blow back home
where I find myself alone
I’m uncomfortable in fair and flighty skin
turn my clocks right back to mountain time before the winter pulls me in before the dew makes way for frost
I am stumbling I am lost
I need to get out of my head and to the desert somewhere
take me back to San Diego where I don’t need to care
that the cold winds blow back home
where I find myself alone
I need to get out of my head and to the desert somewhere
take me back to San Diego where I don’t need to care
that the cold winds blow back home
where I find myself alone

Wake Me Up, It's Morning

someone wake me up it’s morning
I don’t need to go outside
but sleeping gets a little boring
I just need to see the sky bright
just a little taste of daybreak
a little sun to warm me up
a little song to make my heart wake
a little coffee in my cup
‘cause I’ve been sleeping far too
long laying restless till you’re long gone
I’ve been trying to write this song
but it sounds, it sounds all wrong
and it goes
if you’ll love me in the morning
I will love you all my life
we’ll go searching for adventure
through the day and through the night
‘cause I’ve been sleeping far too long
laying restless till you’re long gone
I’ve been trying to write this song
but it sounds, it sounds all wrong
and it goes
someone wake me up it’s morning
I don’t need to go outside
but sleeping gets a little boring
I just need to see the sky bright

Porcelain

I’m running through the woods and out on a limb
I’m going places I may never see again
so don’t forget why we came here
let’s run with all we’ve got
‘cause there’s a chance come tomorrow we might get caught
we’re made of flesh and bone and skin and blood
we make mistakes that we try to cover up
with blackened eyes and brand new parts
but deep inside we are no more than our broken hearts
and when the night is broken the sun will come up
our dreams asleep and heavy will be undone
the day ablaze through windows to warm porcelain skin
that’s where we end and where I begin
where I begin
you’d always say that we would meet again
but I stopped believing when we were no longer friends
but then you said hey can we talk
but you still left me there to fall apart
and when the night is broken the sun will come up
our dreams asleep and heavy will be undone
the day ablaze through windows to warm porcelain skin
that’s where we end and where I begin
where I begin
I can’t love you like I once had
I can’t love you even if you came back

couple months and you’ll be gone
just like it was before
before the days grew long and the nights felt better
than hanging on in stormy weather
couple months and you’ll be knocking at my door
but I don’t live here anymore
so don’t come by ‘cause I won’t answer
I’m locked up tight in my own head still I crave the sun
I miss you like wine
oh so sweet and always, always on my mind
been holding tight
counting miles by the minutes
hold on I can’t forget to turn out the light
what a mess this has become
for my head and the functioning of my lungs
‘cause I can’t breathe when I’m around you
but I can’t sleep when I’m not beside you
my love is thorough it is strong
it’s wrong for this culture of kiss and move along
‘cause I’ve been hurt yeah I’ve been beaten
oh all I want is some relief from my own head
I miss you like wine
oh so sweet and always, always on my mind
been holding tight
counting miles by the minutes
hold on I can’t forget to turn out the light
out the light, the light
nobody fell in love with me that night at my show
so since then I’ve been going it alone, alone
I miss you like wine
oh so sweet and always, always on my mind
been holding tight
counting miles by the minutes
hold on I can’t forget to turn out the light
