I took a look inside a box of things
You're leaving behind
There's just a wish
That you could be a different boy
And I will tell you once again
I'll tell you till we're both dead
There's no glory in the chase
It's all in leaving a little space
Well I never thought that I would see you like this
With you hair so wet and you're eyes so closed
I've been looking for the easy way out
But it's hard to see it coming with your body in the way
So I stay
The lighting in my kitchen doesn't do justice to our faces
So it's hard to chart the course from here
But maybe it's better that way
It's always been too easy to forgive you when I'm looking at your face
Well I never thought that I would see you like this
With you hair so wet and you're eyes so closed
I've been looking for the easy way out
But it's hard to see it coming with your body in the way
So I stay
I am not the one you found, I'm the one who found you out
It's a promise that we made to never learn from our mistakes
I'm not looking, I'm not prideful, I'm not sorry and I'm not scared
Just ashamed that we both turned out to be the people that we are
I am not the one you found, I'm the one who found you out
It's a promise that we made to never learn from our mistakes
I'm not looking, I'm not prideful, I'm not sorry and I'm not scared
Just ashamed that we both turned out to be the people that we are
So far
Well I never thought that I would see you like this

Hottest Month of Summer

Hottest month of summer you told me
You miss your other friends
And you're so tired
You're dying in this heat it gets so bad
You can't fall asleep
And you're so tired
It's not so bad if you can focus on
The breezes coming in
Your window
But you won't be happy until it's winter and
There's snow on the ground
Well I'm content to spend a cold December
With my other friends
And we'll be celebrating everyday
That we got out of bed
Cause we're so tired
Well days go by in minutes
But we love to count the
Second time you brought me here
I knew you were right
I knew you were right
Hottest month of summer and you told me
You're getting bored
And you're still tired
Well honey lay your head back down
There's something coming in
Your window
Well days go by in minutes
But we love to count the
Second time you brought me here
I knew you were right
I knew you were right

I always hold everyone up to you
Do you think that's fair for them
I always leave it up to you
Do you think that's fair for me
Ah it gets better every time I see your face
And ah it gets harder every time you turn away
I always stay back for you
So is there anything left to show me
If I'm always here with you
Well do you not think you owe me
Ah it gets better every time you turn away
And ah it gets harder every time I see your face
Well it's not like it's going to end
No it's not like it's going to end
Do you think that's fair for me
Well do you not think you owe me
Do you think that's fair for me

Gone to bed for several nights this week with your smell on my breath
I’m not sure I like the taste of sour oranges
Safety’s not a thing we know, it always feels like coming home
To broken plates and arguments and sour oranges
Don’t stay
Don’t stay
Don’t stay
Looking back is less a product of regret, and more of grieving
You lost something you’re sure of it, but you can’t point it out
Maybe it’s the time you told me we were being good
Maybe it’s the time you smelled like sour oranges
Don’t stay
Don’t stay
Don’t stay
