Stay Golden 02:06
The four of us over five years Whittled down to two And the years they were relentless As they wore me through and through And now my inspiration's left thin While these headaches are getting thicker And I've been taking my prescription But I swear I keep getting sicker So doctor doctor What do you say when The codeine and butalbital Don't take the pain away Sure they've been helping with the headaches And that's helping me get to sleep But there's no cure out there for heartache And everybody leaves The four of us over five years Whittled down to two And I checked my math and it just doesn't add up (No it doesn't add up) No it doesn't add up without you And I can't tell if I'm angry or just depressed Cause I've been worse for less Yeah I've been worse for less So doctor doctor What do you say when The codeine and barbiturates Don't take the pain away Sure they've been helping with the headaches And that's helping me get to sleep But there's no cure out there for heartache And everybody leaves So Johnny we're sorry cause We had something golden but we let it rust We had something golden but we let it rust We had something golden but we let it rust We had something golden but we let it rust

Second Place 02:21
You make me feel like I'm not so alone I was desperate for shelter so I made you my home But now I'm (Home alone Home alone) Guess you had somewhere to go Thanks for letting me know And if you're just like everybody else Then I don't think I can live with myself Knowing no matter how hard I try there's always someone else And I can't get this taste of second place out of my mouth I don't think I can handle someone letting me down I can't keep picking myself up off of the ground So I'll just lay here for the rest of the week (Maybe two) How bout we make it three And if you're just like everybody else Then I don't think I can live with myself Knowing no matter how I try there's always someone else And I can't get this taste of second place out of my mouth So tell me that you're different And tell me that you're worth it Tell me that you're everything I've ever wanted Tell me we'd be perfect And promise me you mean it Tell me that I'm all you think about at night Tell me that you're there And tell me that you care Tell me not to be scared anymore Cause you won't leave my heart sore Or its strings tore Or leave me waiting at your door

This rural midwestern existence is dreary at best I get to the city when I can the suburbs when I can't and small towns when I'm desperate I'm mostly desperate And I know it sounds corny But I feel Like the corn in these fields The fences close me in If I don't Take my chances and Put myself out there I'll never leave this town If I don't Keep my head up and Keep moving forward I'll never make a sound This rural midwestern existence is dreary at best My voice breaks and collapses over the fields and fences And even if I was king of This land of insignificance No one would know I exist The fences close me in If I don't Take my chances and Put myself out there I'll never leave this town If I don't Keep my head up and Keep moving forward I'll never make a sound Can you hear me now We're getting out We're making ground We're done fucking around We're getting out We're making ground We're done fucking around I'm drawing a line in the dirt at your feet Don't cross me Don't you cross me I've got determination for days I'll scream my heart out Can you hear me now I'm gonna Take my chances and Put myself out there And leave this fucking town I'm gonna Keep my head up and Keep moving forward I'll scream my heart out Can you hear me now Take my chances and Put myself out there And leave this fucking town I'm gonna Keep my head up and Keep moving forward I'm screaming my heart out

Inconsistent 03:40
I can stand here And wait for you To give me everything I've always wanted you to But I'd be waiting for nothing I know you're never coming That's just something you wouldn't do I've heard this before You're so inconsistent Just like the rest of them Are you lying just to see if it works Are you lying just to see if it hurts Are you trying to get in my head cause it worked I'll give you One more week And if you don't talk to me I'll get the hint I can lay here and take your blows Another kick in the head but you don't even know That you're leaving me waking with these black eyes and bruises beneath my skin Can't you see what you're doing I've heard this before You're so inconsistent Just like the rest of them Are you lying just to see if it works Are you lying just to see if it hurts Are you trying to get in my head cause it worked I'll give you One more week And if you don't talk to me I'll get the hint And you don't even know that you're singing along to a song that's about you And you don't even know that you're singing along to a song that's about you

Another haphazard romance dead And here we go again Another page turned Let the next chapter begin Let's call this one heartbreak Part whatever fucking time we 're on This book's left thick And easy to predict With all the 'Boy meets girl's And 'everything goes wrong's Just tell me you like me Just give me a week of your time And then you can brush me off if you'd like Just tell me you like me Just give me a week of your time And then you can brush me off if you'd like And I know that writing you a song won't make you fall in love with me But I'm giving it a shot because I'm desperate and I'm lonely I want the movie Let's be the movie Let's have that sparkling seamless Happy ending Just tell me you like me Just give me a week of your time And then you can brush me off if you'd like Just tell me you like me Just give me a week of your time And then you can crush me and move on with your life Cause you don't feel how I feel And you'll never feel how I feel You're in bed asleep and I can't sleep at night You don't feel how I feel And you'll never feel how I feel You're in bed asleep and I can't sleep at night I miss having someone there to talk to me at night Keep my mind off things so I could fall asleep I'll always miss every girl that ever did And despise the long nights that by their absence end in sunrise Just tell me you like me Just tell me you like me Just tell me you like me Just tell me you like me Just tell me you like me Just give me a week of your time Just tell me you like me Just give me a week of your time And for a week I'll think I matter And for a week I'll feel fine And for a week I'll think I matter And for a week I'll feel fine

We showed up at 8 a.m. Even though we didn't need to No one else showed up 'til two And that was just some more of our friends We sat and watched as the bands loaded in Ship Captain Crew, Of Glaciers, She's Alive, and Real Friends On behalf of the Midwest welcome home You gave this scene inspiration and hope (Out there on the road) From state to state and stage to stage You're living the dream You're everything we ever want to be Dan said they're coming back in October But Bryan said it'll be sooner And it's only June 1st But it feels like it's gonna be a hell of a summer I told Kyle the scene looks up to them And that we hope that they make it big He took a drag off his cigarette And said that everybody's gonna forget about them But I'm still singing Home For Fall every night in my bedroom And there's still at least one track on every mix disc we play in the van On behalf of the Midwest welcome home You gave this scene inspiration and hope (Out there on the road) From state to state and stage to stage You're living the dream You're everything we ever want to be I'm so damn nervous about this EP What songs to pick, what words to use, and all of the money I don't wanna grow up Go to college Or a real job I just wanna be like all the bands I go to see And I'm not sorry, to anyone who ever wanted more from me I will not apologize for being exactly who and what I want to be No, I'm not sorry for taking my potential and putting it towards my dreams Mom and Dad, this is what I'm doing with my life I hope you can still be proud of me
