Intro 01:37
When I go to bed tonight I won't lose any sleep over you When the sun goes down and the streetlights come on and you walk by, I won't move Cuz you love the sound of her smile Lately I've been feeling slightly out of place in his arms And the way you fix your hair and how you touch my face, no harm Do you like the sound of my voice?
2.
Night becomes our frail anticipation of a Saturday’s pursuits And as the snow falls on a Sunday you and I fall into routines we've construed And with each change of pace I hide from you And on the precipice of patience I half-heartedly accept your hesitance And I tell myself that I will never let you in my head like this again Then I accidentally fell asleep in your arms The air is cold but our backs are warm as we race to forget about the past So if it makes you happy we can both leave this dumb party with someone else But I’m hoping you won’t bring her home tonight So we’ll keep on pretending we’re content with this uncertainty we choose And I’ll judge your new girlfriend on the content of her heart and on her shoes Well I think that my thick skin is wearing thin Endless spaces, stranger places, faces we don’t recognize We’ll sleep by ourselves tonight and dream about our passive lies

With You 01:11
It’s too far to walk And I’m too drunk to move But if you could find a way back, I’d go with you Summer heat on our bare feet Wrinkled sheets and athlete’s feet Standing close to me you try To find a place to fall asleep It’s too long to wait But I’m too tired to leave So if you give me a reason, I’ll stay with you
4.
It’s a simple sadness Cuz I know that your pride has seen much better days And you and I collapse There was snow on your face And you misunderstand me Cuz my eyes weren’t asking yours for anymore of your heart But you overcompensate And you and I grow apart But when summer’s feeling wrong Your face is hot, the subway takes too long to come Spend one last night with me And in a month I’ll be gone If you are weary here’s my shoulder on loan Reach into my pocket, there’s a bus ticket home And if that’s still not enough for you, well I don’t know Cuz I’ve spent the last few months wishing you would call So take what you need Cuz it’s all that I have Goodbye, old friend, guess I’ll be seeing you around
5.
Telephone wires dripping from heavy sound I’m alone again but I think that is how I like it And someone’s radio voice keeps ringing in my head tonight This strange regression, I collapse into my bed at night In maps and photographs I have something to hold on to I don’t wanna talk to you now, so I’ll never leave my bedroom Cuz it hurts to remember the weekends that we spent before But now I am jaded and these memories can’t hurt me anymore Countless Sundays drive past your house, windows down, stereo loud Hoping you’ll see me, hear me, I’m a stalker but I am not proud Cuz it’s easier for me to languish than to open up my mouth I won’t tell you how I feel so my stillness weirds you out Streets I used to recognize look more like road maps when I go I’m too tired to run into somebody I used to know Maybe I’ll see you later if I ever change my mind But you won’t call and I won’t answer, it’s what happens every time And I feel different now, more different than I ever felt back then But I still paralyze myself so I guess high school never ends So for now I’ll just lay here and never open my eyes This strange regression, I collapse into my bed at night
