Fall Back Down to Earth
01:50
|

|
stop
say no more
you don't have to apologise
just say the word and i'll fall back down to earth
we both knew this would happen
it was only a matter of time
i hope you get over your fall back down to earth

there you go again
you say you're helping but i know that you don't care
if you're gonna push me over
you could at least remove that pile of bricks from under me
i know i've made mistakes
but you don't need to keep reminding me
i see you pulling at my tail
you know you're driving me insane?
you're impossible to stand
do you even understand?
you're insufferable to stand
oh i think you understand

Strangers

i don't want to remember
a single second in that place
if it was so important
how come i've forgotten everything?
and everyone
and after all this time
i don't know you
i didn't even know how to say goodbye
i don't know you
and i'm trying to think of
any way i can explain myself
and when i think i'm growing up
something sends me back to the start again
push myself towards the edge
and after all this time
i don't know you
was never very good at saying goodbye
i don't know you
what am i doing?
i don't know you people
and here i remain
with 16 years gone down the drain
and now all my friends are strangers
i'd like to know if you
want to come and meet up again some time
i don't know you
i'd like to come and speak again sometime
get to know you

All For Nothing
03:52
|

|
i saw it from a mile away
i knew it'd sting for a while
i hope that you're okay
i wanna ask how you're doing
but i can't talk to you
and ever since that day i've felt exactly the same
i've got to say something
but i don't want to say that i never liked you anyway
and it was all for nothing
i'm glad i took a break
but i fear i'm drifting away from everybody else
you said we'd still be friends
but we still haven't talked since, uh,
i wake up in the morning, hoping that i've forgotten so i can move on
but in the morning i remember
i've got to forget, but i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i can't, but i have to, i don't know

i figured that by now that maybe i'd feel different
but i still feel the same
i tried to write something to vent frustration
but i don't know who to blame
i accidentally called you looking at old conversations
i felt so ashamed
is this just how i am now, in emotional limbo?
i don't want to feel the same
(i'll keep on waiting but the weight is just too heavy to bear)

Talking in Circles
05:33
|
|||
|
i remember
when i had first opened up to you
i was terrified
to lose the spark at any second
i felt
that we had rushed into something too fast
for a while there
i was always scared i'd lost it
i'd hate for you to see me like this
you're right there and i'm right here
on the outside looking in
i've tried so many times to explain
but i only end up talking in circles
as some time passed
i thought it looked like we'd make it after all
and, finally
you came to me and you said you'd lost it
i hope you know you made me like this
i never should've let you go
why did you have to let me go?

The Burned Bridge
03:32
|
|||
|
why did i ever say that?
how was i so slow?
do you still think of me that way?
i guess i'll never know
the disconnected feeling
i hadn't felt before
i can only guess that's how you felt
when we were something more
i don't want this bridge to burn
but i really need to know
i don't want to say the wrong thing
and pass the point of no return
i guess you'll never know
|

i didn't know what it meant
i mean, of course i knew what it meant
but i didn't know what to say
so i just mimicked your words
and i hoped it would be okay
i said i agreed with you
i think that was right at first
to say that i was okay
but in truth, i thought that we could go much further
maybe that's just the optimist i'm holding hostage
how far is too far?
and how close isn't far enough?
how long is too long?
and how short isn't long enough?
i remember what you said, you said you couldn't call it real
you said the distance was too much, i can't believe that i believed you
you know how much those words, those lies dug beneath my skin?
and all i have to say in return is who the fuck is that?

Strangers (Reprise)
01:56
|
|||
|
who's this new person that you're with?
i remember you knew them from before
was this your plan for this whole time?
kick me out so you can be with them?
i know what you're doing
i can see right through you
so here i remain
with half a year gone down the drain
this is what i get for loving a stranger

PART 1 - DISCONNECT
it's most likely obvious
i still miss you
but i'll never say it to your face
i don't know what i'd do if you heard this
my brain is moving too fast
i know i can't make sense of everything
but i wanna at least make sense of something
is that too much to ask?
i'm not unstable, i'm just not stable
i used to hold myself together
why am i disconnecting now?
i was doing alright at first
i have to tell you at some point, but i can't find the words
maybe this is them
i don't wanna talk about it
i just want you to know
PART 2 - LIGHTS AT THE ENDS OF TUNNELS
you left and i just missed you
then you came back, it only made it worse
so i left in hope that i wouldn't miss you
but instead i just missed everyone else
ain't there supposed to be a light at the end of the tunnel?
i swear they keep pushing it further back every time i think i'm close
you remind me of what could've been
we were this close
we weren't close at all
PART 3 - WEIGHTLESS (REPRISE)
i spent our summer writing an album, i wish i told you, and when i finished it, i never showed you, i poured my brains out, all for nothing, i think i felt too scared to open up as much as i did, but it could've made things happen different
i hope you never listen to this
i will never let you go
why the hell did i say that?
PART 4 - WASTING AWAY
if it only hurts in the beginning
what can i do to get to the middle?
i've tried to act like we're still friends
what i'd do to get closer/ure
i don't have the strength to cry
i know i shouldn't keep it inside
PART 5 - THE AFTERMATH
and when you go i'll still be here
and if you come back i'll still be here
i will never fall in love again

i apologise
that i couldn't be what you need
i don't need a translation
i know exactly what you mean
i could tell it was too much
from the way you hesitated
if it was only fiction
at least i can erase it
if only it worked out
we'd have nothing more to worry about
i'll try to move on as well
it's such a shame it won't happen again
can we still be friends?
i apologise
that i couldn't be what you need
i don't think this is closure
but i think i'm almost free
i could tell it was too much
from the way you hesitated
if it was only fiction
i never will erase it
