Look at these people right in front of me Wanting the same thing, more than this reality Always dreamin', never achievin' Hope, I'm thinkin', don't know what to believe in Why do we even try? These dreams will stay dreams and these lies will stay lies Why do we even breathe? Wasting my time on me Traveling far, anywhere not near Seeing the world, new songs to hear A home in the west, where the waves rise high Finally alone now, gonna try to get by Why do we even try? These dreams will stay dreams and these lies will stay lies Why do we even breathe? Wasting my time on me

Me n You 04:02
Gazed upon her diamond eyes When she turned and looked at me My heart flew through the orange skies Her voice, a pretty melody When the day's sun begins to fall, you seem to make it bright When the blue moon begins to shine, I'll be seein' you tonight Me n you, just you and I, we could fit so well Is this real? Is this a dream? I could never tell Just met with her yesterday Havin' fun, had a great time What do you think she'd say, If I asked her to be mine? When the day's sun begins to fall, you seem to make it bright When the blue moon begins to shine, I'll be seein' you tonight Me n you, just you and I, we could fit so well Is this real? Is this a dream? I could never tell Think I'm fallin' in love Think I'm fallin' in love But girl, let's take it slow Let's slow it down When the day's sun begins to fall, you seem to make it bright When the blue moon begins to shine, I'll be seein' you tonight Me n you, just you and I, we could fit so well Is this real? Is this a dream? I could never tell

Slow Days 06:41
Stuck in the loop, ain't havin' no fun Look at the clock, two minutes are done The clock, slowly ticking, revolving around Time spent aimlessly dicking around Tick-tock Tick-tock, reverbs in the room Days are going by yet time is so slow Waiting for the day to be done Finally over but tomorrow's begun So tired of today Slow days go by Took up all of my time Slow days go by Could'be done stuff today Slow days go by Thoughts built up in my mind Slow days go by Wish I had it my way Slow days go by On my way home, traffic forever Rush quickly inside, shower up fast Tired, so sleepy. Time for bed Dream of colors never seen before Flying so high, soaring through the clouds Jellyfish floating in the psychedelic skies My alarm goes off, another day has begun So tired of today Slow days go by Took up all of my time Slow days go by Could'be done stuff today Slow days go by Thoughts built up in my mind Slow days go by Wish I had it my way Slow days go by

Let Me Be 02:30
Wake up, brand new day Nothing to get in my way What's that in my mind? False visions making me go blind Please let me be Please let me be New vision, now I can see Another insecurity More lowered self-esteem Ongoing, same pipe-dream Please let me be Please let me be Heart's beating at a nonstop pace Seems to be out of place I hope I'll hear my plea So please just let me be

I Don't Care 02:50
Just how should I style out my hair? What kind of outfit, which clothes to wear? How, how am I looking today? Why, why should I care anyway? Because I don't really care Stop to think, but my conscience ain't there Because I don't really mind Better things to do than spit on my time Why do I worry about the songs I write? No rush, no hurry. Relax yourself today Who's gonna notice mistakes that you make? Why, why should I care anyway? Because I don't really care Stop to think, but my conscience ain't there Because I don't really mind Better things to do than spit on my time I don't care what I look like (He don't care what he look like) I don't care who to delight (He don't care who to delight) I don't care about today (He don't care about today) I don't care anyway Because I don't really care Stop to think, but my conscience ain't there Because I don't really mind Better things to do than spit on my time

Buckle up, got my key in the ignition The sun's just barely waking up Sip on my cup of coffee, Medium roast with cream Turn on the radio, I vibe to all my favorite tunes Start pulling out the driveway Making my way down the street Smooth car ride, zoomin' fast Drive til I'm out of gas I've never felt so alive Early morning drive Pass by all the pretty scenery Ain't this world just so great? Trees filled with colored leaves Grass still wet from the dew Drive down streets that I recognize 7th Street and Main Avenue My love, she's next to me Holding hands, driving by Smooth car ride, zoomin' fast Drive til I'm out of gas I've never felt so alive Early morning drive My wheels go down these pavement roads Mileage high because I'm driving by Smooth car ride, zoomin' fast Drive til I'm out of gas I've never felt so alive Early morning drive

Cruising down the Main Avenue with a girl I once knew Holding hands, driving by She turned to me and spoke outloud, telling me how she really felt And oh the night continued on Well I ain't missing much On a late night cruise Well I ain't missing much On a late night cruise Driving down 7th Street wondering where I went wrong We were there and we were in love By my side, so close to me. No one else but us and we But now I'm driving here alone Well I ain't missing much On a late night cruise Well I ain't missing much On a late night cruise

Drunk 02:47
Alcohol Help me talk to them Loosen me up Bruising me down Hand me another drink, let me forget The one inside of me, the one that I am Too deep now, too late to go back Will it start hitting me? Alcohol Give me a slight buzz Shots, shots of hard liquor Got me bouncing off the walls Hand me another drink, let me forget The one inside of me, the one that I am Too deep now, too late to go back Will it start hitting me? Ice-cold brews down the hatch All of these drinks have one catch Thinking about it too much Thinking about it before bed Hand me another drink, let me forget The one inside of me, the one that I am Too deep now, too late to go back Will it start hitting me?

Cali 04:15
Well you're a thousand miles away And I'm just sitting here thinking about your smile And all the things that I love about you While you're away, I think about it everyday. Wishing that I was there with you. How's the sun? How's the heat? Please stop by, enjoy the midwestern breeze with me Send me love, that'd be great. Tell me everything over this break And I'll take it all, all for me I know, I know, I know that you're far from me I can't, I can't, I can't rest without my California Girl I hope that you still think about me All the time that us and we have spent when you were here with me Oh how I miss your sweet kiss Or the feeling that I'd get when I would stare into your blue eyes Don't you miss me? Don't you miss we? Don't you miss this sweet feeling? I sure hope that you do Send me love, that'd be great. Tell me everything over this break And I'll take it all, all for me I know, I know, I know that you're far from me I can't, I can't, I can't rest without my California Girl
