The Stars

We're both real life astronauts
We're flying off to wherever we can call home next
I'm too scared to take the leap only because I know I can't make it on my own,
Because I'm a fucking coward when you're not there to defend my stupid choices, (hell)
I'm still a wreck from the one you made way back in October.
I'll never make it. I'll burn up in the atmosphere and you'll land somewhere in the stars.
When you get there you'll realize how much better your life is going to be without me there.
There is nothing I can say that I haven't already said;
Your heart is set on leaving.
I can watch your tail-lights flash a thousand times again (and again and again) but I'll still stay here.

Bypass
02:55

When I saw you walk out the front door, I thought that was the end of it.
Sitting out (blank minded) on the back porch, I thought THAT was the end of it.
I'm not saying sorry anymore.
If you want to bypass the bad times, I'm all about it.
If you want to remember only the good times, I'm all for it,
but I'm not saying sorry anymore.

Red Lights

I hope we hit every red light on the way home from your house to mine.
I hope every road is closed and every detour takes you to somewhere you don't know.
I don't want tonight to end yet because I don't know his name yet.
I know someday you're going to find somebody more interesting than I can ever be, and I don't want to see that day because I don't know what the fuck I'd do with myself.
(every time the seasons change, I'll forget you a little more. By the time the fall comes, I won't remember your face.)

I want to be where I am now (minus the awkwardness of adult conversations that seem to stump me after nearly every step. It's just one of the things I'm used to holding me back).
I want to be a better person (the one I found I found myself being four years ago).
I just want to feel like I am liked.
I want to feel like at every step I'm not falling apart.
I want to feel like I belong.
I don't want to feel like I'm watching life from the sidelines (like I've been doing for far too long).
I just want to feel like (for once) I'm not falling apart

It's a tough time growing up when you're growing apart
We finished high school in each others arms but couldn't make it through the sunny months.
My best friend said he was moving to Oregon as soon as the semester ended. He said I should come along to help pay the rent "To make our lives a bit more easy."
If I left here tomorrow, I'd be taking all my problems with me.
If I left here today, I don't know if anyone would notice for at least a week or two (or at least a day or so).
I promise to write to you when I'm gone.
I can promise a letter or two each month, because I know with girls like you, things like "goodbye" don't mean "so long".
I promise to write to you when I get to Oregon.

Change

I thought I saw you in the grocery store the other day, but it really could've been anyone.
I shouted your name as discreetly as I can, but I don't think you noticed me.
Oh my god how I wish things could change.
I thought I saw your car pass by my house the other day, but it really could've been anyone.
Not many girls I know drive around in yellow Subarus, or would drive a state away for me.
Oh my god how I wish things could change.

With You

When I'm walking home alone, when the streetlights start to glow, I can feel tectonic plates making us drift farther apart.
When I'm finally home alone, when I'm finally getting stoned, I can drown myself in memories and I'll just let them flow.
When I'm with you, I feel ok.
When I'm with you I can't miss you 'cause your right there in my arms. When your not here I start to miss you more and more.
When your gone, I never know when you're coming back. It can feel like forever after a couple of minutes pass.
But when I'm with you, I feel ok.
