Entropy

What if it’s all just a second
That seems like forever
What if it’s all just a joke
Taken seriously
If there is nothing to hold on to
We could just let go
But letting go makes me feel
Like I'm losing my mind so
Oooooooo
What if I knew if I knew all the parts of my hand
What if I knew all the things, all the things I don’t understand
What if my life flashed before my eyes in a single frame
What if who I was wasn’t my face or my name
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
What if we’re entropy
The direction of you and me
What if we’re entropy
I pass a mountain as my time is running out
I’ll just be a memory the mountain can talk about
What if nothing has started and nothing will disappear
What if time’s not moving if we’re just standing here
Ooooooo
Ooooooo
What if we’re entropy
The direction of you and me
What if we’re entropy
What if we’re entropy
No Gods except you and me
What if we’re entropy

I don’t wanna call you
But I’m all alone
Hope I’m not interrupting
Taking time of your phone
Now, I could
I could need to hear the voice of a human
I could need to feel the touch of your skin
Just to know that this is just the beginning
And not the end
And it’s a shame cause I’m crying
And it’s like lame, dude, she’s crying
Now I’m on the floor and I’m crying
Now I’m on the phone and I’m crying
Mhm, I need you here with me now
I’m double up on emotion
I told you that when we met
Livin’ high on devotion
Gonna get what I get
I could need to hear the voice of a human
I could need to feel the touch of your skin
Just to know that this is just the beginning
And not the end
And it’s a shame cause I’m crying
And it’s like lame, yeah, I’m crying
Now I’m on the floor and I’m crying
Now I am all alone and I’m crying
Mhm, I need you here with me now
I need you here with me now
And it’s a shame cause I’m crying
And it’s like lame, dude, she’s crying
Now I’m on the floor and I’m crying
And I’m on the phone and I’m crying
Mhm, I need you here with me now
Mhm, I need you here with me now

Trouble Finding Words
03:54
|
|||
|
There are feelings I have inside my heart
That no word could ever try to pull apart or put back together again
To explain to you how I feel
And would you
Would you listen if I tried
There’s the way that I feel when I recall
The way you smell or the colors in the fall
The way you laughed when I told you it’s my favorite season
And how I couldn't tell you why
Cause all the while when you’re here
I have trouble finding words
And you don’t seem to feel the way I feel
It seems like you’re just floating through
How I wish I was like you
But I remember how the leaves smelled like goodbye
You could watch as a bird flew and move on
While I’d be trapped in the journey it was on
When you sent me that picture of that old house in Rome
It was the closest we’ve been, include embrace
It’s like my brain remembers everything it’s seen
And tries to fill in the blanks in-between
It’s like it tries to understand but the further it moves from you
And now you wake and find me gone
Cause all the while when you’re here
I have trouble finding words
And you don’t seem to feel the way I feel
Cause all the while when you’re here
I have trouble finding words
And you don’t seem to feel the way I feel
All the while when you’re here
I have trouble finding words
And you don’t seem to feel the way I feel
It seems like you’re just floating through
How I wish I was like you
But I would move to Rome with you no questions asked

The Sun

The sun
Warm on
My skin
The car is slowly running out of gas
Just like you
Just like me
That’s our destiny
And as gravity pulls rain from the sky
The smell of warm asphalt fill our minds
And through the rain I see you
Through the rain I fall
Through the rain I’m counting on something to save us all
The air
Cold on
My skin
The car has stopped and nighttime fills the way we feel
I hold you
You hold me
That’s our destiny
Through the rain I see you
Through the rain I fall
Through the rain I’m counting on something to save us all
Through the rain I see you
Through the rain I fall
Through the rain I’m counting on something to save us all
And I’m so glad that I found someone
Someone to do the leg with
Through the rain I see you
Through the rain I fall
Through the rain I’m counting on something to save us all
Through the rain I fall
Through the rain I’m counting on something to save us all

I just wanna make my dreams come true
Seize the moment here on earth when I’m existing next to you
I just wanna make my dreams come true
Know that I made something of this short time that we’re living through
Play a little louder
Play a little softer
Play exactly what I need to confess
Go a little crazier
Take it a little easier
Do exactly what I need to feel life passing through my veins
I need to feel life passing through my veins
I just wanna feel like I am in it
Learning all I can seems like a good way to go
I just want to touch every inch of it
Know that I went places I had to reach out to know
Go a little crazier
Take it a little easier
Do exactly what I need to feel life passing through my veins
I need to feel life passing through my veins
Play a little louder
Play a little softer
Play exactly what I need to confess
Go a little crazier
Take it a little easier
Do exactly what I need to feel life passing through my veins
I need to feel life passing through my veins
I need to feel life passing through my veins

I’ve been trying to hold it in
For as long as I can
Being strong so I won’t cave in
I don’t know where I’ll land
They say that you gotta try to be strong, I know
But how can you hold on when it won’t let you go
I decided I will
Cry if I want to
Bury my head if I need to
Gonna pick up my phone if I have to
Call if I need you
And you’re gonna pick it up
Gonna cry if want to
I’ve been trying to understand
The way that I feel
I’ve been getting by on my own
Pretend it’s not real
They say that you gotta try to be strong, I know
But strong has only made the gap between us grow
So, I decided I will
Cry if I want to
Bury my head if I need to
Gonna pick up my phone if I have to
Call if I need you
And you’re gonna pick it up
Gonna cry if want to
They say that you gotta try to be strong, I know
But how can you hold on when it won’t let you go
I decided I will
Cry If I want to
Burry my head if I need to
Gonna pick up my phone if I have to
Call if I need you
And you’re gonna pick it up
Gonna cry if want to
Cry if want to
Cry if want to

What a start to a morning
What a start to a day
I can hear the birds outside my window
And I’m feeling ok
What a start to a new life
Or so my socials say
What a start to a morning
What a start to a day
A placid mind
And a cold, cold heart
Doing their best to stay together
As the morning falls apart
And all these candid emotions
That never see the light
What a start to a morning
What a start a life
What a start to a morning
What a start to the day
I dreamt the wind was shifting
And I don’t know if it’s blowing my way
What a curse and a blessing
A new day is on the rise
What a start to the morning
With tears in my eyes
What a start to a morning
What a start to a day
I can hear the birds outside my window
And I’m feeling ok
What a start to a new life
Or so my socials say
What a start to a morning
What a start to a day
What a start to a morning
I want to drift away
But I have no choice but to get up
And be on my way
Held down by melatonin
Wanna be where I lay
What a start to a morning
What a start to a day
What a start to a morning
What a start to a day

I thought I might have lost you
But oh, how wrong I’d be
In thinking I lost sight of you
and you your sight of me
Your skin it calms my senses
Your hand it holds my life
I let down my defenses
Your hand it holds my life
I thought I might have lost you
But now you’re back in sight
I thought I might have lost you
But, oh, how wrong I’d be
In thinking I lost sight of you
and you your sight of me
Cause when it fell apart
The world around my feet
You, you would remind my heart to beat
Cause when it fell apart
The world around my feet
Nothing but your closeness
Would remind my heart to beat
Would remind my heart to beat
Would remind my heart to beat

Easy on You
02:48

You claim that you have a place in your mind
That I should do my best to find
Cause only then can I go easy on you heart
But I say flip that thought around
Cause even if that place was found by me
I think it would be lost upon yourself
Yes, I think it would be lost upon yourself
Cause you’re my favorite
But not the kindest one
And I love you though you’re tearing me apart
I’d go easy on you if you’d go easy on my heart
For the record I’ve grown numb
It’s not the times when I feel dumb
That’s leaving cracks as big as lightning in my heart
It’s the way you look away
The attention you don’t pay to me
When asking if I’ve even tried at all
Oh, you ask me if I’ve even tried at all
And you’re my favorite
But not the kindest one
And I love you though you’re tearing me apart
I’d go easy on you if you’d go easy on my heart
I’d go easy on you if you’d go easy on my heart
Cause you’re my favorite
But not the kindest one

Who I Am
03:35
|

There are little things
Small thoughts
That cling to the core of who I am
Tiny pieces I picked up along the way
Became a part
Of who I thought
For the longest part
I was
If I let it go
Maybe I’ll finally know
If it’s enough to be exactly who I am
If it starts making sense
If it starts sinking in
Maybe I’ll know where that all ends and I begin
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
There are little things
Long days
Memories that shape what I’ve become
Who I wanted to be
And where I belong
Some were golden
Some were like stones
And some are weighing on me
If I let it go
Maybe I’ll finally know
If it’s enough to be exactly who I am
If it starts making sense
If it starts sinking in
Maybe I’ll know where that all ends and I begin
Who I am
Who I am
And I wanna grow old
And not just get there
And I wanna be someone when I die
Who I am
If I let it go
Maybe I’ll finally know
If it’s enough to be exactly who I am
If it starts making sense
If it starts sinking in
Maybe I’ll know where that all ends and I begin
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am

I just want your body, I don’t need your soul
I’m looking for state of mind where I can lose control
Your skin is my connection to a hidden part of me
And I just want to be somewhere where I don’t have to be
Let me go after
Don’t hold me anymore
I’ll take the shame and own it
Cause we’ve been here before
We’ve both been hurt and broken, so there’s nothing left to break
And Eden is no place for us we’re both drawn to the snake
We both crushed it to pieces the fragile heart we stole
And I just want your body, I don’t need your soul
Let me go after
Don’t hold me anymore
I’ll take the shame and own it
Cause we’ve been here before
Let me go after
Don’t hold me anymore
I’ll take the shame and own it
Cause we’ve been here before
And I know all my lines
So please just play your part
I just want your body, I don’t need your heart
I just want your body, I don’t need your heart
