Black Cat 02:33
Had to pick my jaw off the floor When you walked into the Black Cat upstairs door Ain't seen you in fifteen years But of course you'd find me here After I've consumed too many beers Gotta talk to you in italics Acting like a smart Alec I've always been a nervous wreck around you This is not how I pictured this On the back of my eyelids Every night since 2006 Had to pick my heart off the floor When you walked away Brought me back to Baltimore Ain't seen you in fifteen years But of course you'd find me here After I've consumed too many beers Gotta talk to you in italics Acting like a smart Alec I've always been a nervous wreck around you This is not how I pictured this On the back of my eyelids Every night This is not how I pictured this Thought I'd be skinnier And swimming in success by now This is not how I pictured this turning out

Something doesn't feel right Hate to hear you're out there on your own Keeping it all inside Bottled up, all alone You, to me, are the wind And I'm a tree You affect everything From hurricane To a calm and gentle breeze I still feel you always Something doesn't feel right Hate to hear you're out there down and out Keeping it all inside Bottles broken on the ground You and me The wind, a tree Swaying slightly in your breeze Might be self abuse But I'm growing roots Standing tall Waiting for you Might be self abuse But I'm growing roots Standing tall Waiting for you Something doesn't feel right Might be self abuse But I'm growing roots Standing tall Waiting for you

I Get It! 02:46
I walk around with these half-hatched dreams Can't seem to put in the effort it needs To make a difference To show up strong I never do that, just walking along Life keeps slipping away from me I get it! I get it! I get it! I get it! I'm blossoming to mediocrity I get it! I get it! I get it! I get it! The best of intentions live and die in my mind Like friendships, unwatered and dry I've seen some good people come and go I don't make excuses anymore Never really "falling out" Just crawling out doors Life keeps slipping away from me I get it! I get it! I get it! I get it! I'm blossoming to mediocrity I get it! I get it! I get it! I get it! Life keeps slipping away from me
