The Flake 04:29
I don’t mind I don’t mind I don’t have to go outside I don’t mind Another time Another time Maybe we can be good friends Another time I know I’ve got nothing to lose But it feels like I’ve got something to prove With a mind a didn’t choose It’s all me, it’s not you Can we just skip to the next day? Maybe I’ll have more to say Can we just skip to the next day And I won’t be a flake It takes a while It takes a while To find the words in my head It takes a while I never speak up first Even when things take a turn for the worse It’s a blessing and a curse You’re patient, that’s for sure Can we just skip to the next day? Maybe I’ll have more to say Can we just skip to the next day And I won’t be a flake I don’t mind

Talking to myself About all the things I’ve done About all the things I’ve done Now I’m sitting in silence Shortest conversation Shortest conversation Take me somewhere new I’m starting to feel the burn I’m starting to feel the burn There is not much I can do I only get what I deserve I only get what I deserve Take me out back, put me down Take me out back, put me down Take me out back, put me down Take me out back, put me down Take me out back, put me down Do not let me make a sound Take me out back, put me down
3.
You’ve got that something That everyone’s looking for I’ve been searching Always coming up short Caught in a race I didn’t ask to join Please, don’t let me slow you down You think I’m modest Hiding inside my shell I’m being honest You’re better off with someone else We used to talk every single day Guess I don’t have what it takes
4.
Our New Home 02:45
I can’t wait to move into our new home Where the sun will shine through our window And it won’t be so cold Give us something to look forward too, oh yeah Rubbing elbows, butting heads does not mean we’re not tight But in a place this small there’s nowhere I can hide I can’t even go outside Pack it up and let us start anew, oh yeah I’ll act real cool, then I’ll turn on a dime You don’t need much but I don’t have the time At least I’ll find space where I can be alone In our new home Pack it up and let us start anew, oh yeah I’ll act real cool, then I’ll turn on a dime You don’t need much but I don’t have the time At least I’ll find space where I can be alone In our new home It’s giving us hope In our new home In our new home
5.
Dawson, Dawson take us to North Douglas I wanna see the home that my love grew up in I wanna see the house your dad built with his two hands And when you take us can we see the water? I heard this was the place that my love escaped to All of the times she couldn’t bear, there were quite a few And tell me how it feels To look into the window And see these strangers living in this house Built for you Take me to North Douglas Take me to North Douglas Take it slow when talking ‘bout the hard times I can’t imagine you were ever inside You can get distracted by the mountains and the trees And let me know when you’re ready to head back I wouldn’t want to overstay my welcome I wonder if you’re feeling the exact same way And tell me how it feels To look into the window And see these strangers living in this house Built for you One’s standing in the kitchen One’s sitting on the floor My only look into how your life was Once before Take me to North Douglas Take me to North Douglas Take me to North Douglas Take me to North Douglas

Tell us how you really feel I guess it’s not that easy Do what you want to do But don’t rope us in with you You were waiting for the world to end But you were disappointed So what will you do with with me? Just want to hear the truth But I can’t even look at you Should I apologize? Is it worth my time? I was waiting for the world to end But that just didn’t happen So what will I do with you?

We Both Won 01:56
Don’t take this the wrong way But we’re all good You might feel guilty At least you should Replacing me and your man You found a two-for-one So don’t worry about me Don’t worry about me Don’t worry about me because We both won I get to walk away hands clean And take my own path You get to keep your foot on the gas At least until you crash You’re giving someone else the work Someone who’ll do it for free So don’t worry about me Don’t worry about me Don’t worry about me because We both won
8.
Wreck 02:20
I’m sorry for being weird You know that I’m a wreck when you’re not here It’s just because my mind, it gets so clear And then it entertains my biggest fears Now I’m thinking about Think about you Thinking about you Now I’m thinking about Think about you Thinking about you
9.
Secrets 03:20
Do you care to take the pain away Or will you just wait it out? Living a temporary life Just to see what it’s all about Set aside the bad You’re the best friend that I’ve ever had The more I’m on my own The more I’m just like you Maybe when I grow old I’ll have secrets too Blank stares and long sighs You take the long way home You think “Something’s got to give” As you’re staring at your phone You’re the nicest guy I’ve ever met But I feel like I don’t know you yet The more I’m on my own The more I’m just like you Maybe when I grow old I’ll have secrets too ‘Cause the best days are behind us And the worst is yet to come Maybe when I grow old I’ll have secrets too You’re the nicest guy I’ve ever met But I feel like I don’t know you yet The more I’m on my own The more I’m just like you Maybe when I grow old I’ll have secrets too ‘Cause the best days are behind us And the worst is yet to come Maybe when I grow old I’ll have secrets too Maybe I’ll have secrets too Yeah, I’ll have secrets too

Sidelined 04:28
Promise me you won’t go too far Tell me that you’ll be ok As you ride into the night While I sleep with a flashlight You can wind down if you want to Take a day if you need I’ll be here for you But please don’t leave so soon I don’t want to lose you And I don’t want to be in the way too I don’t want to be left behind I want to be as strong as you Let me know if you get too bored Doing the same thing every day I know you want to be of use But you’ve got nothing to prove I don’t want to lose you And I don’t want to be in the way too I don’t want to be left behind I want to be as strong as you I don’t want to lose you And I don’t want to be in the way too I don’t want to be left behind I want to be as strong as you I want to be as strong as you I want to be as strong as you
11.
You’re standing on the edge You think that you might die You’re leaving what you know So life won’t pass you by Please take it from me Take it from me, please take it from me Please take it from me Take it from me, please take it from me And if I’m out of touch Start blabbering all night Just come right up to me And take away the mic Please take it from me Take it from me, please take it from me Please take it from me Take it from me, please take it from me Please take it from me Take it from me, it’s alright And you keep searching But you keep looking in the same place And you’ve been wondering When it all will end It never will my friend You act like nothing’s wrong You know I’m not convinced Called him your other half I couldn’t help but wince Please take it from me Take it from me, please take it from me Please take it from me Take it from me, please take it from me Please take it from me, Takes it from me, please take it from me Please take it from me Take it from me, it’s alright
