Low Pain Tolerance 02:48
lyrics

Pull back, you're a little too close for comfort I wanna keep up, but I can't ever seem to catch my breath You keep planning our life together I wanna be there, but I just can't afford to be your mess My low pain tolerance is bringing you down Only a matter of time before you figure it out You're looking at me like you want me to stay I'd rather run away, run away I don't see what you're seeing You don't know what I mean when I say, "This is moving way too fast" I'm scared of meeting your parents too soon That would be careless if I don't think that this is going to last My low pain tolerance is bringing you down Only a matter of time before you figure it out You're looking at me like you want me to stay I'd rather run away, run away Why do I run away from a good thing? Is this a good thing? I can tell my low pain tolerance is bringing you down Only a matter of time before you figure me out You're looking at me like you want me to stay I'd rather run away, run away My low pain tolerance is bringing you down Only a matter of time before you figure me out You're looking at me like you want me to stay I'd rather run away, run away

8 Hours 03:49

Grandma is drinkin' again I'm feelin' foolish, 'cause I thought she would quit Is it something I did? Something I did? Best friend and I don't talk anymore One day I woke up and it felt different Is it something I said? Or something I did? Can we pretend that everything's alright? And that none of it keeps us up at night Can we pretend that everything's alright? Like we're getting eight hours Eight hours of sleep at night Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh My neighbors been in love since I was a kid Just signed the papers, they're calling it quits They said it was easy Was it easy? 'Cause thеir little girl came up to me and said "Mommy's moving out, but shе'll be right back." So don't tell me that's easy Please don't pretend that everything's alright And that none of it keeps you up at night Please don't pretend that everything's alright You look like you got eight hours of sleep last night I'm one to talk about not pretending I'm one to say you should let it out But the truth is I haven't said what I meant in so long I just pretend that everything's alright And that none of it keeps me up at night I just pretend that everything's alright Like I'm getting eight hours of sleep at night I just pretend that everything's alright And that none of it keeps me up at night I just pretend that everything's alright I wish that I got eight hours Eight hours of sleep at night Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh

Dreams 04:16
lyrics

Lately my songs have been lazy Susan at the table from my neighbors And their skeleton dog My train of thought travels At the speed of lightning or something faster I wonder what it means I’m gonna go to sleep and dream Distract me So I don’t notice my teeth falling out Build a wall around me To keep the eels out of my bedroom I will praise the god in white jeans, fall down before him And watch the land turn to sea And the beauty turn to ashes I will scream my songs so loudly that I lose my voice and No one even hears me I wonder what it means I’m gonna go to sleep and dream Distract me So I don’t notice my teeth falling out Build a wall around me To keep the eels out of my bedroom Last night you wouldn’t believe it I stood up in front of crowds Last night you wouldn’t believe it I said what I meant and i said it so loud Wake up Feel your front teeth Realize Bravery isn’t reserved for dreams

Split Ends 03:10
lyrics
buy track
It’s been 3 months since i left our house You said it was too heavy with me around I believe you because you’re better off You asked me, “How do you know I’m better off?” Honey, I see it in your smile It’s in the way that you walk and how you talk so softly now We’re older We’re farther And you’re better Off without me Was it me? Was I the one tearing you up? All along Was it me? Was I the one tearing you up? Your hair is longer now I know it grows when I’m away But I can’t help but think that I was causing split ends ‘Cause we’re older And we’re farther Are you better? Please don’t be better off without me

Worth It 03:25
lyrics

Let's grab drinks again Talk it out like adults Since you left my door wide open I haven't slept at all You draw me in Am I surprised again? You haven't changed and I love you for it But I haven't slept at all To the man who couldn't stay on the ground To the man who wouldn't open his mouth You knew what you were doing, holding my hand And I knew what I was doing, holding it back And it hurt Was it worth it? Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Ooh, ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Should I get your approval Before I blink? Or does it not bother you as much as I think? To the boy who wasn't meant for the ground To the boy who shouldn't have opened his mouth You knew what you were doing, holding my hand And I knew what I was doing, holding it back And it hurt Was it worth it? You knew what you were doing, holding my hand And I knew what I was doing, holding it back And it hurt Was it worth it? You've got a holy kind of hold on me A holy kind of hold on me On me And I’ve had a bag of your things in my car for a week And I can't give it back because it means that you're gone

Nothing From Me 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Bruised brain, heartache I’ve been walking around with a limp and a brace Blood stained, numbed pain I’ve been wearing somebody else’s face Saviors and sons stuck in a dream We fell asleep down on our knees I wonder, I wonder If I love you like a priest If I worship at your feet Would it mean nothing if you don’t need nothing from me? If I curse your precious name If I waste another day Would it mean nothing if you don’t need nothing from me? Broken again Sick of the race that I’m running with no end I’ve climbed oh so high But I never find any heaven in the sky If I love you like a priest If I worship at your feet Would it mean nothing if you don’t need nothing from me? What did you die for? I’m so tired of keeping score What did you die for? I’m so tired of keeping score If I love you like a priest If I worship at your feet Would it mean nothing if you don’t need nothing from me? If I curse your precious name If I waste another day Would it mean nothing if you don’t need nothing from me? You don’t need nothing from me You don’t need nothing from me
