It's Cool

If I was a writer, I'd write all my friends
And say "I miss hanging out, I'm sorry we fell out"
But we're becoming adults, and it's not cool to be sad
Like it was in highschool
But it's this new type of clean that's bringing me down
I'm soaked in bleach, I'm all washed out
And whatever I loved, nevermind
Whatever, it's cool.
So I'm sorry I liked you a little too much,
let's keep it cool, let's stay in touch
And you want to be endeared and overjoyed
By someone slower
So I'm up all night to get you out of my head
But I can't forget what you said,
That life is to be endured and not enjoyed
until it's over
Push me up to your ear and turn my heart into sound
And I'll be sincere, even if not profound
'Cause life's just a shell game, and I don't wanna play
I don't wanna be a fool
So you live and you lose, it's just Russian roulette
And you don't get to choose, so I'm placing my bets
'Cause it's gotta get better, or I've gotta get out
Whatever, it's cool

I know eventually I will die,
but I hope I can find
A better way to live my life
'Cause I want to get better,
But I don't think I'm better
And it will work out in the end
It will work out in the end
I want a kid before I'm blind
I wanna see his eyes
Even if they don't like mine.
And I'll teach him to be better
'Cause I know he will be better
And it will work out in the end
All of my thoughts are in line
At least for a week at a time
If I stick around through the night,
Will you push me back into the light?
I don't need to be the best
But before I go deaf
I want to be meaningful
I don't want to run away
I don't need to be ok
For it to work out in the end
Someday I want to write a song
Something that will mean
Anything to anyone
I don't want to fade away
I want to make the people say
"It'll be fine, it'll be alright in the end"

Going My Way

Can you hold still
For a second?
I'm trying to look at you through the camera
But it won't focus
Why can't my dreams stay
The same
For a week
Or even a day?
But I'm losing hope
Or I'm losing faith
That things are going my way

You've got a smile that could turn me to stone
I can see it lit up from the light on your phone
But it takes some time
It takes some time to come down
We've all got friends who will tear us apart
They keep you around, but it's not from the heart
So it takes some time
It takes some time to come down
You're too soft to touch and you're too sweet to taste
There's a hand on your neck and a light on your face
So it takes some time
It takes some time to come down
So I've got your number, but not much to say
You see, love doesn't die, it just fades away
So I need some time
I need some time to come down

I'm in love
With a girl who doesn't love me
So I don't think I
Will ever, ever, ever be happy
So I don't know what you wanted
And I don't know what I am
But I don't think it's getting better,
I don't think it's getting better,
No, I don't think it's getting better now.
I don't know where I'm trying to run to
But I know it won't be by your side
And I don't know where I'm trying to run to,
But I know it won't be by your side
I don't know where I'm trying to run to
But I know it won't be by your side
And I don't know where I'm trying to run to
But I know it won't be by your side
I've had enough of all your nonsense
And you've had enough of all of mine
And I'm not the man you want me to be
And you're not in love the way I am
So I don't think it's getting better,
I don't think it's getting better,
I don't think it's getting better,
