I follow the pattern
I keep track of what is what
If I lose a battle
There's no one saving me a spot
I bend over backwards
To try and my wrap head around
What's simply straightforward
To what often feels like everyone
And baby I'm sorry I let you down
I pushed too hard and it feels like
The flight to my brain got delayed
And when it landed it was too late
Above all other things that I hate
It's throwing the hook and taking the bait
You've taken some weird turns
Sometimes I follow you around
When there's a lesson to learn
Sometimes you're nowhere to be found
And you should be sorry you let me down
You pull away and you feel like
The flight to your brain got delayed
And when it landed it was too late
Above all other things you will hate
It's throwing the hook and taking the bait
In every dream
I'm always
Missing my ride
Forever behind
It's not you
Who'll pull me through
It's not me
Who'll keep you here

The city opens her eyes
And she can't remember last night
She shrugs her shoulders
And doesn't care if she's done wrong or right
I squint and try to remember
Where I am and what for
The sun burns all my ideas
Melt into nothing at all
Wish there was some other way
Wish we could just look away
Wish we could avoid the crowd
Wish this wouldn't feel so loud
I don't need to hate it
The city hates itself
The city hates itself
She won't go for the nice guy
Stop trying to make her laugh
She's staying out of the light
And none of us is changing her heart
Walking like they were born upright
Walking like they never crawled
There are always fools who'll buy in
But it's not our bullshit to call
Wish there was some other way
Wish we could just look away
Wish we could avoid the crowd
Wish this wouldn't feel so loud
I don't need to hate it
The city hates itself
The city hates itself
She won't go for the nice guy
Stop trying to make her laugh
She's staying out of the light
And none of us is changing her heart
None of us is getting her right
If you leave her alone for a second she's gone
Wish there was some other way
Wish we could just look away
Wish we could avoid the crowd
Wish this wouldn't feel so loud

Sad Party

When you hear about it
You hope that what they say is true
There's a time and place that's right
And any night could be the night
Hesitation out the way
And all it leaves in its wake
Is a big desire to get invited
Get it started
It's a wasted summer
And a sober new year's eve
It's a lonely birthday
And the act that never lives up to all of its hype
Forever building up
But I know it will be
A sad party
Sad party
Sad party
All along everyone knows it will be
Sipping on your first one
You're not sure if this is fun
By your second you're in pain
And the next chance you get
Do it all again
It's a wasted summer
And a sober new year's eve
It's a lonely birthday
And the act that never lives up to all of its hype
Forever building up
But I know it will be
A sad party
Sad party
Sad party
All along everyone knows it will be
Just try and tell me i'm wrong
Just try and tell me i'm wrong
Tell me i'm wrong
Tell me i'm wrong
