Trainwreck

It's not the first time that this almost went wrong
But I was off my face, and you still have yours on.
It may be true, I needed this all along
Another stranger to hold me, keep me going strong
You're not my only indiscretion this week
I've got half a mind to charge you just to make ends meet
Now I'm scared, because I cannot wait to get this wrong
and all my close friends will scold me,
and I'll write a song
I doubt that this could ever get messier,
So we'll slip past all my housemates and the ghost of her
I've got zero interest in fixing my life tonight
But we can turn off our phones, pretend we're alone
and we might just get it right
I'm a trainwreck so take the ride,
I'm a temple of doom, why don't you step inside?
I'm a bus that's explosive, Keanu can't save you now
I'm a dead man, and I'm feeling alive
So darling go grab the axe, you can try to survive
I know it's okay, we'll make it through this week somehow
My parents ask me how I'm spending my time
These days it's cheap guitars, and even cheaper wine
And I'm pretty sure I've been here before...
Scared of the monsters under my bed so I'll sleep on the floor
Mind the gap!
Paranoria, tunnel vision,
Ex girlfriends, and indecision
Every night I'm flirting with death...
And I don't need to give permission,
Analyse my new condition
You're the only friend I have left...
And growing up I know it hurts,
but these days, it is so much worse
I feel like I just can't get it right...
But the far north didn't raise a quitter,
I believe I can get better
Especially if you're free tonight...

Deadlines & Alarm Clocks

Hollywoods are at it again
Dying through a hole in their heads
Moving mountains just to
Undo what you made them so they could go pay the rent
Wrapped up in buying my time and silence
Like your government
We used to run this alone
All I ever needed was you and two mobile phones
Now the root of all this evil's drove my life into the ground
Yeah I'm working splits tomorrow
Guess I'll see you 'round
I'm still way too young to pretend alongside you
You're the man I'll become and I've come to despise you
I've worked way too hard to do this my whole damn life
It's time to get it right
Never been a better time than right now
Never been a better time than right now
Turn the nine to five up and turn your life down
You should have stayed in bed
Zombied at the counter of your shitty nine to five
I guess the phrasing should be frantic
To reflect your state of mind
It's just self-indulgent therapy
With lungs not what they used to be
But in the end it's worth it just to know that you're alive
When you started all you ever wanted was that suit and tie
Now you're brushing up on nihilism just to get you by
So work or drink until your heart stops
It's deadlines and alarm clocks
Until you either break the mould
Or smoke until you die
I'm still way too young to pretend alongside you
You're the man I'll become and I've come to despise you
I've worked way too hard to do this my whole damn life
It's time to get it right
Never been a better time than right now
Never been a better time than right now
Turn the nine to five up and turn your life down
You should have stayed in bed
Never been a better time than right now
Never been a better time than right now
Turn the nine to five up and turn your life down
I wish that I was dead
It's time to get it right
Never been a better time than right now
Never been a better time than right now
Turn the nine to five up and turn your life down
You should have stayed in bed
Never been a better time than right now
Never been a better time than right now
Turn the nine to five up and turn your life down
I wish that I was dead

Ultraviolet

Take a picture it'll last longer
Cities giving anything to show up to work
I'll be stuck inside with this visceral day dream
Trying not to laugh as I watch you drop your phone in the surf
And it goes on and on and on and on and on
People on the news say some day we'll be stronger
Knew that this was coming and we knew it would hurt
Show me one more time how we're all on the same team
Don't stay home alone, you can crash at mine just borrow a shirt
And it goes on and on and on and on and on
And I know
That all that's left is death or play along
All alone
And this ultraviolet mess we've made
defines us 'till we're old and grey
Come and find me when the feelings gone
So how's it feel
To be shut in the dark but you're making your mark
And I guess that you're angry at least I would be
But no matter what it does it won't go taking your spark
So strap on your boots in the kitchen like a disco queen
So here's the rub
You're unclipped from the space ship passed out in the bath tub
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind
And the days spent alone show the kindness inside
There are so many things that I wish that I could have been

Waking to a strangers alarm clocks not a good start
The night before got way out of hand, and I played my part
My memory is hazy, don't know where I've been,
My life's a grenade and I just pulled the pin
I roll over slowly, she's already awake
She says we're in love and the panic sets in (shit)
When I was little my Gran used to say
Yeah some times in life you just can't get your way
So the next time the whole thing goes horribly wrong
you pick yourself up and remember this song
It's one foot in front of the other,
Yeah you know what to do
It's just one foot in front of the other
And don't ever be ashamed of just being you
It's just one foot in front of the other
Don't hear a word that they say
It's just one foot in front of the other
and lord knows you might just make it through the day
I make it home to charge my phone and it's a nightmare
Cause three missed calls from my ex girl chime out of nowhere
Yeah she's got a new guy, he's cool as can be
She's better without me so obviously
The pieces fit back into place in my head
I drunk dialled her and he's coming for me
Yeah when I was younger my dad used to preach
That sometimes to good life is out of your reach
So next time the whole thing goes horribly wrong
You pick yourself up and remember this song
Sometimes things go wrong real fast yeah don't I know it
Yeah you can try your best and still feel like a misfit
So I sit on the couch with my brand new black eye
And can't help but laugh, 'cause I'm feeling alright
My best friend just called, says I'm the talk of the town
And they wanna know if I'm busy tonight
Yeah sometimes your life can get down like it do
But you can believe that I'm cheering for you
So next time the whole thing goes horribly wrong
You pick yourself up and remember this song

I swapped reality for a Bleachers track
I got zero idea if I'll ever come back
And I'm not really sure if you care,
either way I'll write down what I see while I'm out there
Mental break in the back of an uber
Watch me call everybody I know
And it's never been this bad before
But you're not keeping score
And with you girl I'm almost at home
Struggling never looked this good
I'm feeling better than I should
Give me the grit and the glamour to shape up tonight
We can chill on the couch with the lights out my dear
because Nights like tonight are the reason I moved here
I'm down at the moment, won't be forever
but love is for people with their shit together
Get your fucking hands off me sir I am done
I am sick of this game yeah it stopped being fun
And I've put in the work now it's my time to shine
I resign I'll be fine I'll be fine I'll be fine
label me a disaster
I'll kick this year off a cliff and I'll push you off after
I swore that I'd grow and the movie'ss not over
I'll be sober and happy and loved when I'm older
Struggling never looked this good
I'm feeling better than I should
Give me the grit and the glamour to shape up tonight
We can chill on the couch with the lights out my dear
because Nights like tonight are the reason I moved here
I'm down at the moment, it won't be forever
but love is for people with their shit together
Love is for people with their shit together
Love is for people with their shit together

Well at this point it's pretty clear I'm struggling
And so far time travel is out the frame
And I've made some bad decisions and I'm struggling
But I lost you along the way and it's such a shame
Yeah human lives are not something you fuck with
And heartbreak isn't funny when it's real
And the late nights growing colder only serve to show my faults
Yeah my hair it'll grow back, but I'm scared we will never heal
Yeah I can't make them all happy my dear,
It's no wonder why
But if I can make you smile again,
Then I have to try
Yeah her dad will probably lose it,
I guess that's the price I'll pay
This is crazy, selfish, stupid,
But I'll love her either way
I guess I'm lucky,
I guess I'm lucky
Well at this point man anything could happen,
Yeah time travel might not be just a dream
Yeah she said we'd try again, and I am star struck
She says I have things to offer, though I don't know what she means
Yeah I can't make them all happy my dear
It's no wonder why,
But if I can make you smile again,
Then I have to try
Yeah her dad will probably lose it,
I guess that's the price I'll pay
This is crazy, selfish, stupid,
But I'll love her either way
I guess I'm lucky,
I guess I'm lucky
Yeah her friends will probably hate me
I guess I could lose a few
'Cause when all is said and done girl, all I really need is you
I guess I'm lucky,
I guess I'm lucky
Maybe I'll meet Frank Turner in a lonely late night bar,
Maybe I'll get my wish as long as it's made upon a star
'Cause you gave me a fighting chance,
And why evades my guess
If impossible is possible then
Who knows what comes next

Hello,
Do you recognise me still,
I've been slaving in the hills, and sleeping sound in an empty glass
And I know
That I need to find the will,
To be better than deity I'm born with and the human that you think I am
I think we're smart enough to figure out that none of this is going to plan
It's all I need
And all I see,
Give me the strength to come undone
Don't fall, just breathe
I'm on my knees
You are the smoke that fills my lungs
I was kinda hoping I'd stay a little longer...
Judge it like it's broken and then preach it like it's matter of fact
This isn't suicide honey, best believe it's more dramatic than that
I could be the poet, or the hero of the festival clown
Regardless of ambition pretty sure it's far too late for it now
There's nothing but the throwbacks on my feed to cheer my up when I'm down

The Best That I Can Do
02:21

Well I skipped the interview because I didn't want the job
I am unshaved and gross and going back to bed
And I'll just lie to my girlfriend and say I slept through my alarm
Because somehow that seems less awful in my head
And I don't know where I'll find my find my rent or food or love next week
And I would give it all to try and start anew
Well my friends they are all thriving
And my mum is probably crying
But today this is the best that I can do
So I picked my brain up off the floor along with some warm beers
And I put them in the fridge to ripen soon
And my food is going off but cooking feels like such a chore
So burrritos welcome in the afternoon
And it's never clear where I'll end up after a couple drinks
But I'll probably make an enemy of you
Yeah my friends they are all thriving
And my sanitys unwinding
But today this is the best that I can do
Well my serotonins draining and my will to live is fading
And a lucky break is so long overdue
Yeah my friends they are all thriving
And my dreams are slowly dying
So today this is the best that I can do
Yeah I'm 25 years old and I still haven't got a clue
so today this is the best that I can do
