You don’t deserve to be this sad
You’ve got everything you need
A college degree and a roof
Over your head
A girlfriend who loves you
A mom and a dad and a car
You need to see a doctor
They can put you on some medicine
To help you get your head again
Just wait
You’ll grow out of it
It’s just life in your twenties
I’m sure you’ll have plenty of time
Well, I don’t know
But I hope so
I miss that kid
On the wall
The one who used to smile and laugh
And hug me
Or be happy to see me
Or be happy about anything at all
You ignore my calls every time
We’re just worried about you
You look mad all the time
You know your dad and I
Just want the best for you
And we’re proud of you
And no matter where you go
You’ll always have a home on Dulin Road

State Line

Hey man, it’s been awhile
Time has been good to you
Wish I could say the same
But I’d give anything to
Go back to the world we made
But we got locked out at a certain age
Time has a way of breaking things
But it can’t take those days from me
[Chorus]
Two kids in a one-light town
Nothing to do but walk around
We’d laugh at nothing until the sun came up
We never listened when your mom said “come inside”
We’d walk to the state line
Never knew what those days would mean to me
Through the eyes of 23
Do you remember talking all night long
Tying up the lines, pissing our parents off?
Trying to write songs in Stephen's room
When we didn’t even know what we were doing
Remember when you called me up one night
To say you got the number of a girl you liked?
You’re married now, you own a home
How the fuck did we become so old?
It hurts to say but we’re not getting any younger
And our lives are different now, but I can’t help but wonder
The things we’d give to spend one more day as those kids
And watch the sun set on that street where we were brothers

Faking My Own Life
02:32
|

I was the last one to
Wait in line while everyone else found their way
Four years of searching to
End up at a dead end
Will I waste my life?
Guess I’m losing sleep for another week
I’ll just bide my time
Take another drink
I don’t feel like thinking, because
[Chorus]
All my friends grew up at 18
Am I behind or are they faking?
Used to love this time to myself
Now I have to be with someone else
Or I fall into this state of mind
But I’m the one to blame for my
Aimless life
Well, maybe that’s the truth
Maybe I’m the reason for the things I’ll never do
Maybe I’m a product of my shitty attitude
I think I could change this if I wanted to
And maybe time will tell
But I won’t hold my breath
Because I won’t spend one more day
Buried in my regret
Don’t you pray for me, I don’t want it
You force fed lies to me, and I bought it
It took 21 years of hearing I’m not in control
To see it was me all along

Trust Fall
03:15
|

Stuck in a picture frame
The version of me that I wish had stayed
I hope I’ll read these words one day
And come to find that I can’t relate
Getting my head stuck
Breaking my friends’ trust
Shutting myself off and calling it progress
[Chorus]
Time just doesn’t move the same
It’s like I’m stuck living out the same day
Just want to be alone
Until no one is home
Nine months have felt like seven days
Since I shut myself inside this cage
I have the key
I just don’t want to leave it
I don’t know what else to say
Because I want to change
Sick of always breaking all the plans that I ever make
Always leave ‘em hanging
‘TIl the day they forget my face
Back inside myself until the good will evaporates
But I keep trying
Denying that I may be lying to myself
When I say that I’m alright
Don’t count on me to do anything
Don’t wait for me, ‘cause I’m not coming home
Would you believe me if I said I’d catch you?
You took the trust fall and I let you pass through

Consider It Done
04:03

Another year and I'm still here
Just less familiar faces
The leaves have changed and I have stayed the same
This mountain town
It weighs me down
I'll find a way to change this
I'm through with saying I'll write songs one day
So here it goes
It's my last-ditch effort to make something meaningful
Or sing to someone more than myself
Or scream my lungs out until someone hears me crying for help
[Chorus]
And this could be
My last attempt
My chance to get it right
I just hope you are on my side tonight
And this could be
My last attempt
I've got it in my sights
I just hope you are on my side
Because I'm flying blind
Piecing together all these lines
I've spent forever
Coming up with words to say
That will convey the ways I've changed
Because this song is just a scrapbook
Every line's a faded picture
A reminder of that room in which I lost my mind
And found it again
So here it goes
I'm exchanging blows with myself
In an effort to prove that I still feel how I felt
That night when Jesse said in Georgia,
"Gotta do it yourself."
