In Love

you said that you felt it once when you were up in new paltz
you met a pretty cute guy and he played in a band but he kinda looked like yr exes
it was weird but you went for it
when you kissed him, you said you felt nothing
i think that i felt it once when i was in new brunswick
i was 16 years old, i knew nothing at all, but i thought i found some love in a best friend.
it was weird but i went for it
five years later i'm starting to regret it
if you don't mean it don't you say it
'cause i really really really wanna see you again
you've become my best friend and i know how scary it is to fall in love for the first time in a long time and you can't find the words to describe how you feel
to be in love
in a couple weeks when you see them again and you can't figure out how you can go on as friends, they'll leave you behind
in a couple of years when you're looking back, you'll figure out you were wrong all along and you fell in love.

i'm sorry that it got weird after we kissed
i just want to be your best friend
i bet that you'd be a perfect boyfriend
but i don't need that right now
i've gotta work on myself
and i think you should work on yourself too
if you need anyone to talk to
i'd still love to get coffee with you

Auditorium

skipped class again to hang out in the auditorium pretending we were helping the stagehands.
take this camera. hold this microphone.
if the security guard asks we're filming for our high school's news show.
this couch slowly became my home.
this stairwell is where i learned my first songs.
people will stay in your life for a reason
or they might leave after a couple of seasons
but i'm happy I still have you
even if it's just a memory
it feels more than real to me

Rocky Horror

let's go to rocky horror every friday night.
you know all the callout lines,
i'll develop my own over time.
let's invite all our best friends
and get them in on this.
this will keep us together.
we'll be best friends forever.
oh i'm sure you know the ending;
people kept disappearing,
the crowd thins out over time.
now i'm sitting on my own
playing on some stupid app on my phone
'cause i'm not interested in some musical
that only reminds me of you.
don't go away.

pick out your favorite flowers
pick out your favorite iced tea
i want to show you how much you mean to me
i want to see you dancing
i want to hear you sing
i want to see you at your best again.
we compared our summer vacations alone
spent in our bedrooms hating ourselves
trying to figure out where we messed up along the line
you said you missed your best friends
well i miss mine too
but i'm happy we have each other and we'll both get through
(this)

i wasn't there the day you died
but i showed up to your funeral with all the older guys.
i lit a candle for you.
i'm not religious but it felt true.
god bless you.
you would've been 24 today
but you just spent your birthday
six feet underground
covered by your favorite flowers
from everyone in town.
it kills me i never told you how much you meant to me.

Proud Of You
01:31

the strawberries i got have gone bad.
i gotta go to the grocery store,
gotta go pick up some more.
i wasted every last chance that i had to redeem myself in your eyes
the truth is i'm not that great of a guy
i found myself again
i kind of fucking hate myself
'cause i can't call you my best friend
i'll remember nights from a thousand years ago
and hope that that feeling comes back
but the truth is that i'll never know,
and that's just selfish if i'm not trying to change myself.
i always forget that all people have hearts
and even though i feel mine the most
it doesn't mean mine's the biggest of them all.
i hope that you're doing alright now.
i don't know what you're up to but i know whatever it is it would make me proud.

you said if you moved away
no one would remember your name
you said you can't find your place
the world is such a scary place.
there's known such complacency;
in small town new jersey,
the proposition of getting to move away,
the idea of no one knowing your name.
community college was such a drag for you.
you always said nobody liked you.
i can't get that inside my head.
you're claustrophobic at its best.
you're at your best.
