Because you let go of yellow Go dandelion Go dandelion You're low So show the lion So show the lion you're gold Let go and make the most of something that you love Hello to standing on To standing on my own

So this is it? You're an optimist! Good to know how it feels now Good to know that it's real now Because you've always been a pessimist And a little curious with how the world goes around Without a little medicinal help You don't believe heaven and hell exist But I'm sure they would help! Is being alive not friendly enough? Because with your better hand tied to your belt You swing and you miss what they dealt But you know that confidence that breaks you down, You're better off with Bare feet Calloused because the concrete Burns our toes, we're happy Here's to feeling homey White lies Look into my red eyes Every other night Here's to feeling just alright I'm just alright Now you're all about Filling dreams with doubt So fill them up and now You're breaking out of the shell you thought Was a home but not one built for much And with your head hanging high in the clouds And feet planted firm to the ground Your eyes look for solace in sounds That no one will hear if they never come out With epiphanies every moon You point out flaws in the room But you're alone and you know that it's you That's making the mess you're stumbling through Bare feet Calloused because the concrete Burns our toes, we're happy Here's to feeling homey White lies Look into my red eyes Every other night Here's to feeling just alright I'm just alright Alright, I'm alright, just alright And that's fine Let this be a lesson In passive-aggression Quit dodging the question You're alive I've asked for the last time Bare feet Calloused because the concrete Burns our toes, we're happy Here's to feeling homey White lies Look into my red eyes Every other night Here's to feeling just alright I'm just alright Alright, I'm alright, just alright And that's fine!

I should have got you roses, oh Should have got you everything that you want I should have seen it coming, though Because even roses cut when you touch Should have lived that moment, oh Should have taken everything at once But I manipulated her Now I don't have anything that I want La la la la la La la la la la la Everything that I want Everything that I want La la la la la La la la la la la Everything that I want Everything that I want Now I've got an open door And wear my heart on the floor Now I've got an open door And no heart anymore Now I didn't know what I Needed to feel alright But now that I know I was fine I wish I didn't waste our lives Precious moments, my heart is humming Still waiting on your cold call Our time here seems barely brief Since thorns hide after all You (?) our final hours Yes rose pedals (?) hot showers You say the noisy chatter keeps them home But your voice is my telephone Just cross me off of your regrets Let's make amends with little threads You know my lies as I do yours And this doesn't have to be once before Hold my hand with your idle touch My door's open if I'm enough Yes I should have given you everything 'Cause it seems now You're everything that I want La la la la la La la la la la la Everything that I want Everything that I want La la la la la La la la la la la Everything that I want Everything that I want Rows of roses that won't blossom anymore Because I told them that their thorns Made them unbearable to hold When in fact, it was my hands That could not handle letting go Of rows upon rows upon rows

Lauterbrunnen You got me running All I wanted Was sight of something new But what I got was A clear head again How many valleys have I missed Trying to kiss the mountains? I’m a long way From the middle of a freeway I’m better now than how you found me I’m stronger than I was And there’s no way I could hang up on the old days With the scenery around me Time I start looking up! Missed that train The next one doesn't go your way That's okay I like this station anyway I might be A little late today I found a girl in the city Caught my eye But didn't catch her name Can't catch a break these days I’m a long way From the middle of a freeway I’m better now than how you found me I’m stronger than I was And there’s no way I could hang up on the old days With the scenery around me Time I start looking up! Get drunk in a hammock To handle the panic Because I'm either manic Or being dramatic Hang in the attic Look through the lattice Because I'm either manic Or I hate falling in love I know what it’s capable of But I’m stronger than I was And there’s no way I could give up today I’m in too deep already Time I start looking up!

It's not the game that we want to be playing Look to the sky, fake a smile till you make it Quiet's the ghost hiding out in the basement Skeleton closets and unhappy faces I think it's time that I go home Nobody cares that I'm happy alone though Pleasure the masses then cry in the mattress This time it's behind us, and burned in the ashes I'm burning the ashes This is the ballad of my past life In loving memory of my right mind I'm losing traction on a landslide now The grass is greener on the flip side So sing the ballad of my past life In loving memory of my right mind I'm losing traction on a landslide The grass is greener on the flip side So much in love we can hardly contain it Covering up in our separate blankets Open the blinds to a window of pavement It's not the mess, it's more how I made it I think it's time that I let go No sense in feeling like I'm in control Trying to find closure and keep my composure Just trying to be happy one way or another This is the ballad of my past life In loving memory of my right mind I'm losing traction on a landslide now The grass is greener on the flip side So sing the ballad of my past life In loving memory of my right mind I'm losing traction on a landslide The grass is greener on the flip side Maybe it's my fault that I'm this way Maybe I'm the one that's making waves Maybe I just got carried away Maybe I still get carried away Maybe I'm not who I claim to be And all of my missteps are really me Time to make the most of the debris This is the ballad of my past life In loving memory of my right mind I'm losing traction for last time Done making mountains out of landmines Why do I always go to such great lengths before I fall? Before I fall Before I go This is the ballad of my past life In loving memory of my right mind I'm losing traction on a landslide now The grass is greener on the flip side So sing the ballad of my past life In loving memory of my right mind I'm losing traction for the last time The grass is greener when you're not on my mind Not on my mind
