Dear Sam 04:17

I'm counting down the days till I can get out of this place Gather up some friends, and drive out to the lake It's days like these that I can't wish for anything else This life fits me like a glove I'm not thinking about growing up I could drive down all these city streets Playing my favorite songs With you in the front seat We could kill a day just cruising round this town Until the sun goes down or the street lights call us home Spent my youthful years all over this neighborhood Doing dumb shit and laughing more than we knew we could Never cared for what the future might bring Looking back now, I wouldn't change a goddamn thing Don't give up Don't give in Don't let them hold you down Don't give up Don't give in This is not the end This is where we begin We crane our necks to get a better view from the bottom Low wage jobs with the longest hours, yeah we've got them We hold our heads high and keep living our lives In our own sense of time (our own sense of time) It seems this midlife crisis has hit me way too soon I'm spending all my sleepless nights trying to figure out what to do I feel I'm the only one still running in place Refusing to grow up is adding lines on my face We've worked too hard just to throw this all away I'm not planning for my future, I'm building for today In my mind, this party will never end I'll never fucking sober up I'm staying with all my friends Don't give up Don't give in Don't let them hold you down Don't give up Don't give in This is not the end This is where we begin

This Could Be Us 02:40

Stumbling home and it hits me The smell of your perfume drifts through these empty streets 4am I'm still awake Withdrawals from you are giving me the shakes We need to stop playing these games I've had enough of you fucking with my head Some things are better left unsaid And I know exactly what I need but everything I've ever wanted is always just out of my reach I'm just looking for you, a ride home and a place to sleep Been spending all my time trying to get you off of my mind Replacing what we could've had With stronger drinks and longer bar tabs I never knew that moving on could feel so goddamn hard I'm at a loss for what to do I guess this is getting over you I've had enough of you fucking with my head Some things are better left unsaid And I know exactly what I need but everything I've ever wanted is always just out of my reach I'm just looking for you, a ride home and a place to sleep

We're Almost Home 03:04
lyrics

Days are getting longer We're always running on empty These bags under our eyes show We could use a couple days of sleep Lets have another drink to stop the shakes Keep pushing that line until it breaks I've got a lot of thoughts inside my head Keep telling ourselves we'll sleep when we're dead We're not where we want to be We're lost somewhere in the between But we're almost home Kings of Friday nights turned into bloodshot Monday morning eyes Disappointed looks from people passing by Took 25 years to realize If this is growing up you can take it back Wasn't a bunch of lies it was a fucking attack Mediocrity is what was sold to us Keep those normal lives, they're not for us We're not where we want to be We're lost somewhere in the between But we're almost home We'll keep pushing our way upstream With full hearts following these dreams But we're almost home

The Boys Are Still In Town 04:11

When did all this change What happened to having plenty of time and living just for today Hearing those songs we love about never growing up, and staying out all night, waking up the next day in that afternoon sunlight Hearing those songs about leaving town reminds me I'm stuck here today My plans for getting out are just things that never worked out my way Here I sit alone at this bar Last call for my dreams as I walk back to my car We used to talk about leaving this town behind Now I feel I'm running out of time These days we're watching your kids playing on the same lawns we used to pass out on We're saying things to each other like where has all this time gone Those old days are never too far away We're just getting by in different ways Holding tight to teenage fantasies But catching up with friends now feels like first date conversations Hearing how far they've come has never made me feel so stagnant Here I stand alone on this stage The final curtain call has come for my younger days We used to talk about leaving this town behind Now I feel I'm running out of time We used to talk about leaving this town behind We're still here and we're doing just fine

Clear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can't Lose. 03:36
lyrics

We weren't supposed to make it this far The party's over and I'm stranded in the backseat of my car Everyone's gone but I'm still hanging around I wanna write my name on the tallest building then burn it fucking down We're not going anywhere These dreams will carry us through the years We're not going anywhere We're gonna make it I swear Written off by those without a clue Pushed on cause thats just what we do We were labeled fools Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to lose Another night of going home alone And if this is just another show Then we all know how this goes Loading up my lip for another day Listen up, I've got something to say We're not going anywhere These dreams will carry us through the years We're not going anywhere We're gonna make it I swear Written off with those without a clue Pushed on cause thats just what we do We're gonna make it through With clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
