Verse 1
Took a Segway ride downtown
Saw the city, wheels burning out
It felt like when I used to ride my bike
And scream at the top of my lungs
You asked me what I had said
Instead I talked you through a book I read
I always try to make you laugh
It’s just one of those things I have
It goes
Chorus
I didn’t notice I was going adrift
Verse 2
I’m 22 wild years young
Sometimes it feels like I haven’t done anything
But I know it’ll come in time
The feeling of life that tugs inside
What is that song that you sing?
I hear it ring out above everything
It reminds me the beauty in life
Just standing around or going outside
Chorus
I didn’t notice I was going adrift
Just out of focus, barely can open for this
I didn’t notice
Verse 3
With scissors I cut it out
Place all my memories on the ground
I’ll start looking around
When I was four years old I almost drowned
I’ll make a brand new start
And I’ll be sure my hearts a part of it
Saw geese in the cemetery
One day they’ll be shittin’ on me
Chorus
I didn’t notice I was going adrift
Just out of focus, barely can open for this

The Time
03:07
|
|||
Drawing a line
To what I’ve missed out on for all my life
Sometimes I think I’ve got myself taught
But I have been behind from the start
Brand new mistakes
Rules I didn’t know I could break
Parts of me that aren’t quite awake
I want to step out of my space
I am alive, I want to feel it
I’ll take the time to know it better
I got the time to know it better
I got the time to know it
I am in love, want you to believe it
I’ll take the time to know you better
I got the time to know you better
I got the time to know you

Hide My Emotion
04:08
|
|||
The colors of me are changing
Are you liking what I’m taking?
Oh, I can’t hear what you’re saying
Cuz I’m too busy ruminating
I’m tangled, I tried to break loose
Tried to run but came straight back to you
And now it’s knocking at my door
And I can’t hide from it no more
Hide my emotion
Hide my emotion
Idolize your motion
Hide my emotion
Scared straight of what I’m feeling
There’s yearning, retreating, and returning
If I were to open up this door
What would you think of my heart left on the floor?
Hide my emotion
Hide my emotion
Idolize your motion
Hide my emotion

On the Floor
04:09
|
|||
My heart is pounding
To hear you coming
Up the stairs of my love
What am I scared of?
I’ll use us as an excuse
To deep clean my room
Can’t hide it under the bed
Or keep it stuck in a spider web
For you, for you
Layin’ on the floor
Feelings I can’t ignore
And I’m not missin’ anymore
Now that I found who I’m for
Layin’ on the floor
Objects on the bedside table
I’ll rearrange them if I’m able
All these heavy things I’ll move
To make room for you
For you, for you
For you, for you
Layin’ on the floor
Feelings I can’t ignore
And I’m not missin’ anymore
Now that I found who I’m for
Layin’ on the floor
Feelings we can’t ignore
And we’re not looking anymore
Now that we know who we’re for
Layin’ on the floor
Ooh, I’ll clean up my room
Ooh, I’ll clean up my room

Checkout
03:40
|
|||
I breathe in shit I shouldn’t and bounce up out of real time
I introduce new regulars to crowd the back of my mind
They take up
So much space
My lungs are resting at capacity
And I check out
No room to push my cart between the high-stacked 24-packs
At target liquor and spirits I can’t decide what to throw back
I might just get
Whatever’s cheap
I’m holding up the other libertines
I’m taking up
So much space
It all just does the same shit anyway
So I check out

Aside
04:01
|
|

i close my eyes, senses take control now
the sun rises, I stay down
Minnesota, hold off with the snow for now
familiar with the cold all around
the wind carries me home
my head hung in shame, I stay away
I can't identify
the feeling I tuck aside
oooooo
oooooo
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eeeyyyess
oooooo
oooooo
oooooo
oooooo

Beside
02:42
|
|||
I slide sideways out of my mind
Stand beside myself comfortably
But if you’re on my other side
I might want to get back to me
I often leave a part of me
To wander as it wants to do
But if you see it, call it back
I want to keep it close to you
I step sideways into your room
You sleep steady through floorboard creaks
Morning sunlight belongs on you
You wake up when I kiss your cheek

Fish Piss
04:55
|
|||
Rusted, I’m nearly swamped
Under, tucked beneath the rocks
Perspective shifts when you’re in the water
Amidst the masses, I felt smaller
Anxiety pulled me from the shore
I’ve been sinking down
I find the more I kick, the more I stagnate
I float away
Too much salt in my mouth
Too much salt
I crumble down to the bottom now
Decomposed by the weight of the sound
That’s inside my bloated head, the dread
Fish piss then they lay their eggs
The decaying trout; can you smell it now?
I crumble down to the bottom now
Decomposed by the weight of the sound
That’s inside my bloated head, the dread
Fish piss then they lay their eggs
The decaying trout; can you smell it now?
