Epilogue 03:16
blind spots blue eyes you wore my t-shirt crooked teeth passenger seat i barely said a word that night black holes white smoke ghosts i never thought i'd know old roads new pavement and i swam in the dark i'm never enough i swam in the sea until i couldn't breathe i swam in the dark i'm never enough i swam in the sea but she tried to drown me it's august and i forgot what it felt like in the dark love recalled but lost to us and i swam in the dark i'm never enough i swam in the sea until i couldn't breathe i swam in the dark i'm never enough i swam in the sea but she tried to drown me she drowned me

don't know you anymore loved you like a hurricane loved you like a mistake loved you even though it shouldn't have been loved you liked a summer day loved you like a cold morning loved you even though we'll never see the spring let me go and let me breathe let me go it's drowning me all of this heartache let me go and let me breathe let me go it's killing me all of your mistakes sun sets over mountains it rises over oceans i had never been that far north stars shine over campus they shine over our heads you had been everywhere before and i will always love you and i will always want you let me go and let me breathe let me go it's drowning me all of this heartache let me go and let me breathe let me go it's killing me all of your mistakes and i will always love you darling and i will always want you darling i loved you like a hurricane loved you like a hurricane loved you like a storm and a rage i loved you like a hurricane loved you like a hurricane i loved you i loved you like a hurricane but i don't know you anymore

shake the dust from off your shoulders lay your head down somewhere warmer you're a stranger but you're right next to me i'm talking, i'm talking in my sleep what did i say what did i say wash the dirt from off your shoes go back home to where they know you this is something i can't explain i'm running, i'm running away but nothing happened nothing happened i was 15 , can't you see me i was 19 , won't you hold me i was 15, can't you see me now i'm 19 , and i don't know bad habits always get me i should have just said everything so shake the dust from off your shoulders lay your head down somewhere warmer you're a stranger but you're right here and nothing, nothing is clear

Fire Proof 03:37
i'll build you a house of stone that way it won't burn down i'll tell you every day i love you i'll build a house of sticks sometimes stones aren't worth it i like to feel the breeze at night let's lay under stars and make wishes on our hearts let's wish this night would last for days let's lay under dark skies with no stars to shine let's love each other every night i've lost friends to fights and fires and i don't want to wage a war i don't want to lose this i don't want to lose you i want to keep you i'll build you a house of stone that way it won't burn down i'll tell you every day i love you i'll build a house of sticks sometimes stones aren't worth it i like to feel the breeze at night

Lost 03:44

you move in slow motion your eyes fill up with oceans and i can't stay here i move so slowly you won't even notice me when i pull away from you in the night who even were we you move in slow motion you're getting out of focus i don't know where you end, where you begin i move so slowly i can't believe you told me and i didn't run, i didn't run hands on glass and i'm looking back but what is left to see and hands on steel i don't know what's real i don't know what to believe you move in slow motion your eyes fill up with oceans and i've never seen water so blue i move so slowly you won't even notice me when i leave you who even were we

'cause i burn if you feed me i'll burn warmer yes i burn if you leave me i'll burn til i'm over i'm not a liar, are you a liar? i'm not a liar, are you a liar? 'cause the noise is getting louder and i'm still growing taller and the noise is getting louder and i i'm a forest fire
