Blonde hair and blue eyes
The water's flooding in now
Take the keys to the van and go
What are you on about
Number 105, never wanna go blind
I don't wanna rewind, am I on your mind
at all
Somethings Will never change
Like how you look at me that way
T-shirt one size too big
But you never mind never minded
Blowing bubbles in the backyard
We were so misguided
But it's alright dear, it's okay
Follow follow follow
My compass
Follow follow follow
My compass
I don't I don't I don't
Have conscious
But follow follow follow
My compass
So we've made it to the freeway
And this towns gone up in smoke
I crack a smile, we save the day
You tell a terrible joke
Number 203, why do you look at me
Please tell me what you see, do you wanna be with me
at all
It must be another day
Like how you don't fade away

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist
But darling, you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance
And up until now I had sworn to myself
that I'm content with loneliness
Because none of it was ever worth the risk
But you are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

Fuel your mother's addiction to the lotto
Shirts off, we both watch her walk away
Buzzcut season, how so, gathered interest
Upgrade inevitable, pistol at your hip
Or a pistol in your pocket
Premium casualties
Half way to heaven
Bareboned and static tones
Resentment, the harshest of tones
Generational disease, habit, addiction
The best I can do is not be like you
Empty my pockets and correct my diction

It's just the moon over open road
And it captivates my soul
Over highways and bridges
In the hot or in the cold
And it's her hand that gripping the driving wheel
And I've got this smile that no one can steal
So let's just go go go go and see where this leads

Maybe if I forget, for just one day
I'll learn to smile, and be okay
No care in the world, anxiety low
Not living too fast, not driving too slow
My hand in my hair, other on my skin
My list of regrets, nowhere to begin
Chills down my spine, sweat Down my sleeve
torn between Jesus, Adam and Eve
Back of a van, want it this way
No need to question my urgent need to stay
Green in my eyes, white lines clean
Maturity new, Suburban dream
My hands are at my chest, I said I'm coming home
What name should choose to, put into your phone
I'm so far gone, but I guess it's how it'll be
I won't be who I am, with that you will agree

Away (demo)

I let it manifest
I had a dream and it was no type of solid ground
Every day brings second chances
But I can't have them when I'm not really around
My hands take shape
My head feels heavy
Standing in the rain
Only if you let me
I'm so far away
I guess I'm confused
But I don't want to talk about this anyways
I feel the pain in my chest
It is not going away
It's held in so well
Cause I have nothing to say
I want to hear silence
Do I have a choice
I don't have a voice
And I hate my voice
Ship me away, make me one with the stars
Running away, but I'll never get far
Be who I am, I don't know who that is
My life is a mess cause I don't know how to live
Too much time
Too much time
Too much time
Stone me now (x2)
