When we were kids We were running around With nothing else to do When we were kids We were falling in love Was only me and you It’s Sunday morning Sun is shining And I feel alright Fall out of bed And make a plan To go see you tonight I’m throwing pebbles at your window Baby it’s me And then you’re sneaking past your old folks So they wouldn’t see We throw our sneakers on the phone line Then we’re gone in no time Swimming in the low tide Sand in our feet Because When we were kids We were running around With nothing else to do When we were kids We were falling in love Was only me and you Fast forward Got a little older I’m jaded Chip up on my shoulder I promise that I still remember you I been tryna chase that feeling And chase that high I been tryna chase that feeling When the world was mine When we were kids We were running around With nothing else to do When we were kids We were falling in love Was only me and you When we were kids We were running around With nothing else to do When we were kids We were falling in love Was only me and you

CRASH COURSE 03:37
You don’t wanna be there For me when I get home Maybe you’re a crash course Maybe I’m a shit show I don’t really mind If you call me after midnight This feel like car crash This feel like a fistfight I been on my own for a minute now Ever since you told me when I hear this I might wanna be sitting down I been feeling kinda different now I’ve been feeling indifferent I don’t wanna stress you out Anymore than I already have I’m sick tired of feeling like I been holding you down I’ll take my foot off the gas Cause if I speed then I’ll crash I don’t wanna stress you out Anymore than I already have I’m sick tired of feeling like I been holding you down I’ll take my foot off the gas Cause if I speed then I’ll crash Whiplash And flashbacks I need a tune up I’m on my last chance I’m going too fast I’m going too fast Don’t see the road signs I’ll be there in no time I been paying no mind I just been at home right Getting on your last nerve Clinging like a clothesline Staying in my own lane Shifting into overdrive I been on my own for a minute now Ever since you told me when I hear this I might wanna be sitting down I been feeling kinda different now I’ve been feeling indifferent I don’t wanna stress you out Anymore than I already have I’m sick tired of feeling like I been holding you down I’ll take my foot off the gas Cause if I speed then I’ll crash I don’t wanna stress you out Anymore than I already have I’m sick tired of feeling like I been holding you down I’ll take my foot off the gas Cause if I speed then I’ll crash My wheels keep spinning And my head does too I’m got my foot to the ground to catch up with you I don’t wanna stress you out Anymore than I already have I’m sick tired of feeling like I been holding you down I’ll take my foot off the gas Cause if I speed then I’ll crash I don’t wanna stress you out Anymore than I already have I’m sick tired of feeling like I been holding you down I’ll take my foot off the gas Cause if I speed then I’ll crash

SETBACK 03:03
Tell me I’m a setback Tell me that i’m bad for you Say we had a good game But someone had to lose I think we took a wrong turn Somewhere along the way So now i’ll take a step back So you can have your space You said you’d love me regardless Now look at the problems you started In love with a struggling artist I wasn’t what you really wanted Maybe i’m a pastime That you can’t let go of Or maybe i’m a landmine Waiting for the right moment I think it’s time for you to loosen Your grip on me I feel the pressure and you’re Making it hard to breathe So tell me i’m a setback Tell me i’m a setback Tell me i’m a setback Tell me i’m a setback So tell me i’m a setback Tell me i’m a setback Tell me i’m a setback Tell me i’m a setback I can feel that change is comin I can hear the storm movin in I can feel the rain comin down Comin down Maybe i’m a summer love Or maybe i just ain’t enough Or maybe you’re just givin up Givin up I think it’s time for you to loosen Your grip on me I feel the pressure and you’re Making it hard to breathe I think it’s time for you to loosen Your grip on me I feel the pressure and you’re Making it hard to breathe So tell me I’m a setback Tell me I’m a setback Tell me I’m a setback Tell me I’m a setback So tell me I’m a setback Tell me I’m a setback Tell me I’m a setback Tell me I’m a setback Tell me I’m a setback Tell me that I’m bad for you Say we had a good game But someone had to lose I think we took a wrong turn Somewhere along the way So now I’ll take a step back So you can have your space Ok legend

HAND ME DOWN 03:00
I’m just a product of my past Making history at last See myself look through the glass And I know that I’m nothing new I’m second hand And I’m slightly used I’m used to getting around Cause I’m just a hand me down I’ve seen it all before Keep me around for decor Always end up on the floor Cause I don’t feel like yours Well have some fun for a day You put our love on display And then you’ll throw me away (yea) And I know that I’m nothing new I’m second hand And I’m slightly used I’m used to getting around Cause I’m just a hand me down And I know that I’m nothing new I’m second hand And I’m slightly used I’m used to getting around Cause I’m just a hand me down (Cause I’m just a hand me down) I’m just Passing your time Distracting your mind You rationalize To tell yourself That it don’t really matter I’m just part of the pattern And cycles That you been going through It’s like I’m holding you together Like gorilla glue I swear I’m not what you need I’m just some plaque on your teeth I maybe just what you want But that won’t last for long And I know that I’m nothing new I’m second hand And I’m slightly used I’m used to getting around Cause I’m just a hand me down And I know that I’m nothing new I’m second hand And I’m slightly used I’m used to getting around Cause I’m just a hand me down

ENDLESS 02:45
I’m feelin reckless Listening to my favourite records Countin every second Thinkin bout 2007 2 thousand and seventeen I had you in front me Then I had to watch you leave All I’ve got is memories babe Got a feeling That you don’t wanna talk about it I hit the ceiling Cause I wanna forget about it And now I’m feeling like I’m sinking in quicksand Come save me Come save me And i been listening to endless Singing at the top of my lungs, breathless Do you remember the early morning in California? You got me begging for you, you’ve got me singing like I don’t wanna be there if you’re not there You’re stuck on replay inside of my head You’re the only thing that I understand My favourite song, I’m your biggest fan I don’t wanna be there if you’re not there You’re stuck on replay inside of my head You’re the only thing that I understand My favourite song, I’m your biggest I can’t figure you out What goes on in your head Do you think about how Different things could’ve been If you’d led with your heart And not kept me in the dark Wish I knew right from the start That this would tear me apart Now I’m on knees babe Please babe Can you give a little leeway Please stay Because I’m having trouble breathing I’m heavin Yea I’m having trouble seeing I need it And I been listening to endless Singing at the top of my lungs, breathless Do you remember the early morning in California? You got me begging for you, you’ve got me singing like I don’t wanna be there if you’re not there You’re stuck on replay inside of my head You’re the only thing that I understand My favourite song, I’m your biggest fan I don’t wanna be there if you’re not there You’re stuck on replay inside of my head You’re the only thing that I understand My favourite song, I’m your biggest

PINCH ME 02:59
I’m not the same That I was When I was seventeen All those old friends That I had They don’t remember me Musta blocked me out Of their memories It’s so heavenly Who they pretend to be I can’t keep up Can’t sit still There’s no reason I should chill On my own So alone I can’t tell If this real Someone pinch me Wake up Someone tell me to get up Someone pinch come get me Come help cause it’s too much I’m too protective With my friends I start projecting Onto them I guess I’m not Everything I thought that I was Wish I had it in me to stop But I can’t (fuck) I’m distant I’m passive Unavailable And reactive I’m sick and tired Of the action I need some melatonin And a fraction I need everyone To stop acting I’m so past it So I’m passing On everything That you’re passing I’m tryna make something That’ll last I can’t keep up Can’t sit still There’s no reason I should chill On my own So alone I can’t tell If this real Someone pinch me Wake up Someone tell me to get up Someone pinch come get me Come help cause it’s too much Sold my soul so i could make rent I’m running out of patience I’m trying hard but it don’t make sense It’s like I’m half asleep Like I’m living in a dream Feels like everything i see Is just so slightly out of reach It’s like I’m half awake Barely getting through the day Feels like everything i say Don’t come out the right way I can’t keep up Can’t sit still There’s no reason I should chill On my own So alone I can’t tell If this real Someone pinch me Wake up Someone tell me to get up Someone pinch come get me Come help cause it’s too much
