So Familiar 03:29
I know you know what I am thinking There is no point for me to try and Convince you All these floors are facing ceilings A place to breathe, a place to sleep in This feels so familiar It can't go unnoticed Don't you feel it too This feels so familiar I'll find ways to make this better And make those ways become whatever Comes easy Counting cracks along the pavement But I walk fast so I don't feel them This feels so familiar It can't go unnoticed Don't you feel it too This feels so familiar I'm too far gone to call you home I'm too far gone to call you home but This feels so familiar It can't go unnoticed Don't you feel it too

Never Again 03:17
Can't you see I'm not trying to be you I'll find something more interesting to do Don't you see I'm just keeping it real Chasing something that I can feel "Never again," you said "Never again," I know Did you forget that I I don't believe you though Can't you see I don't want what they want I can find my own Costume to put on

Bad Habits 04:08
I don't believe you, nor do I want to The words that you say are dirt If things don't add up you know that I'll make them I'll fake all these numbers and words I'm just a sad excuse for a sad excuse And there's nothing here keeping me true If it's not you Can't find a reason to push you away So I'll pull you in closer, pretend that I'll stay And it's such a bad habit, I'm trying to quit But they don't make a patch or a pamphlet for this I'm just a sad excuse for a sad excuse And there's nothing here keeping me true As for now, I'm feeling destructive I don't do well with your second chances But oh, I know that I will get through this I'm blowing bubbles up to the surface Try as I might my heart just will not listen To my brain when it says to quit all this feeling Did I lose control, drive this straight off the freeway Or do we subconsciously mean to destroy things A sad excuse for a sad excuse And there's nothing here keeping me true If it's not you As for now, I'm feeling destructive I don't do well with your second chances But oh, I know that I will get through this I'm blowing bubbles up to the surface Soon they will break it Soon they will break it Soon they will break it Like I broke us

I could've sworn it I could've sworn I saw your face So I turned around and Tried to recall what I should say Just like I practiced it Alone in my room All of the sentences Pauses and vocal cues But it wasn't you It wasn't you I could've sworn it I could've sworn you left this town I can't make sense of it Why I keep seeing you around Maybe I'm losing it Maybe I'm lost But it's not rocket science it's not that hard And if you hear this I hope you know You know that I'm trying It's just how I cope It's just how I deal with it It's how I wake up No, I'm not over it I can't make it stop But I've learned to live with it (just like you predicted) And I'm doing fine (just like you predicted) I've learned to live with it (just like you predicted) And I'm doing fine Just like you predicted Like you predicted Like you predicted Just like you predicted Most days are good days But somehow I miss you more and more
