Momentary Traces

Arizona 02:43
lyrics

The Arizona sunrise Illuminates the rearview But all I think about is you I'm always scared of plane rides And things that feel too new But I really like when We sit on the couch Mispronouncing words Because we're too cool To say them the right way They say change is for the better But we know That sometimes it makes things worse Regardless of that It's gonna happen And we can either choose To accept it Or hurt even worse I've got pretzels by my bedside For the middle of the night When I snap out of a dream I feel happy to be alive But scared out of my mind I guess I'll let the feeling pass And think of when We sit around watching YouTube And angrily yell At 15 second Ads They say change is for the better But we know That sometimes it makes things worse Regardless of that It's gonna happen And we can either choose To accept it Or hurt even worse

Stuck in the Mud 04:12
lyrics

I start to lose my mind When I don't trust my own eyes I'm out of touch Convinced I'm destined to destruct Everything I've come to love It doesn't make any sense But that doesn't matter It's hard when I read into each and every thing I feel so stuck in the mud I can't move my tired feet beneath me No it's never enough It's hard when I read into each and every thing I feel so stuck in the mud I can't move my tired feet beneath me No it's never enough Ease the urge to fall back down To where I've been a million times before (I feel so stuck in the mud) I'll tell myself I'm far ahead Until I end up back in my own world (No it's never enough) I'll tell myself I'm far ahead Until I end up back in my own world

When My Heart Skips a Beat 03:41
lyrics

When my heart skips a beat And I can barely see I know it's you Who will be there I don't know who to be Or who you want to see But just know I'm happy to be here We're all stuck wishing for what comes after Arbitrary notions of greener pastures We're all just lost in the reeds But maybe that's okay and maybe it will help you Sink your teeth right in to something of more value Out on the treacherous sea But just know I'm happy to be here But just know I'm happy to be here

Momentary Traces 03:19
lyrics

It's time I give up and I tell myself It's easier said than done It's hard enough to live day to day In a world that has come undone I've given it all just to fall so short Has it even been worth the fight But it's you that I want And it's you that I need When I fall asleep at night It's here where I fall And here where I drown Here where I've come undone It's here where I'm freed And here where I'm known Here where I'll reach the sun I wanna know wanna know where wanna know where Know where it comes from The need to put yourself Above it all I wanna know wanna know where wanna know where Know where we go to When we spend the time That wasn't bought I think about it daily And it floods my head so plainly I can't deny Acknowledging the momentary traces of ourselves We leave behind I wanna know wanna know where wanna know where Know where it comes from The need to put yourself Above it all I wanna know wanna know where wanna know where Know where we go to When we spend the time That wasn't bought I think about it daily And it floods my head so plainly I can't deny Acknowledging the momentary traces of ourselves We leave behind

Shadows 03:10
lyrics
buy track
All I ever wanted Was to be Like everyone else And that made Me feel So alone All that haunted me We're shadows In my own home And that made Me feel So worn down Take my pain away for now And I'll stay right here with you I know it's temporary But isn't everything We know it's true Take my pain away for now And I'll stay right here with you I know it's temporary But isn't everything We know it's true

Gridlocked Clouds / Lavender Skies 03:36
lyrics
buy track
You left the burner on I think you charred a page Torn from my favorite book About the good old days But that doesn't change the fact That I want you to stay I feel a different kind of pain When you walk away Gridlocked clouds and lavender skies We speak these words and I never know why Never know why Lost love and painful nights We all miss summer when we leave it behind Leave it behind

Poring Over Time Before and After 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Poring over time before and after As the present moment fills with laughter I wonder why I just can't match the pace I'm caught up on the things that cut me deepest The things I've done and come to regret If only it would all just fade away Sometimes life feels like a cruel game Of running away from those who love you most And chasing those who don't but That doesn't seem to change how we waste our time Pushing away all those who hold us close And chasing those who don't It's my own fault I must admit it but That doesn't do much to change The overdose of pain I feel As I turn my back and walk away I let myself get lost in you And I just ended up lost I know what the cost is too I've known that from the start Tell me why it takes so long To realize that you're in the wrong

Wasting Time 04:43
lyrics
buy track
Now for a moment we feel so special But then remember we're ordinary still We spend our lives climbing up the ladder Just to wind up at the bottom of the hill Time goes by and doesn't leave behind You and I or anybody else That doesn't mean that we can't get Joy out of wasting it all by ourselves We lose sight in the times of pleasure And lose our minds in times where things our tough You could say it changes with the weather But I know that that is only an excuse Time goes by and doesn't leave behind You and I or anybody else That doesn't mean that we can't get Joy out of wasting it all by ourselves

One November Weekend 04:28
lyrics
buy track
We laughed until it was painful And kissed like nothing had changed The air was warm for November I noticed that as I caught your gaze We both knew where this was going And made sure we stopped to say We know this can't go past the weekend As for tonight maybe let's just pretend That the way we feel in this moment Is all that matters And the future is all pretend My bones ache as if I was older That feeling subsequent to making amends Blissful reconciliation followed by your imagination Urging you to want more than you can take We both knew where this was going And made sure we stopped to say We know this can't go past the weekend As for tonight maybe let's just pretend That the way we feel in this moment Is all that matters And the future is all pretend I'm glad we got to share those moments Even if they amount to nothing in the end All we have is the present What comes after is nothing more than a plan We knew it couldn't go past the weekend Either way we chose to just play pretend That the way we felt in those moments Was all that mattered And everything will work out in the end
