Awake

I don’t know why
I’m always tired
I sleep all day and I sleep all night
I just wanna be awake to live my life
All I feel like doing is just going back to sleep
My super soft supportive bed’s got such a hold on me
Is everything breaking down
Or is it just in my head
I wanna be awake
I wanna wake up
I wanna soak it in
Every second I get
What day is this Is there anything that I missed
I’m living in the future present and past
Am I talking in circles, am I making any sense
My bed will always be there
It’s not going anywhere

I haven’t felt this good in a while
I don’t want this time to end
Storing up the memories like photos
In my mental filing cabinets
Good thoughts for the bad times
Come and hold and comfort my mind
The scent of pine on the wind
Rough pavement on my skin
All the light shining from your face
Feeling your heartbeat on my chest
Compact umbrella for a rainy day
Fold it up, put it in my pocket for when the sun goes away

Depend On

I want someone I can depend on
Like the kick on the ones and threes
I want somebody for the long run
Somebody who won’t walk out on me
Somebody I can trust
With the Things
That mean the most to me
Somebody I can trust
To stand up
And stand by me
Could it be you?
I want someone I can depend on
Like 4 legs on a chair
I want someone I can believe in
Somebody who’s always gonna be there
I’ve trusted before
Something I don’t so easily anymore
I got burned
And I learned
To go it alone
I got hurt
I got scared
Because I’m not that strong
I want someone I can depend on
Like my heart keeps the beat
Somebody I can really lean on
Like my crutches after knee surgery

While You're Young

I slept like a pretzel last night
Now my back is out of whack
I see what the adults mean
When they say they get hurt in their sleep
One day burns into a week
One week melts into a month
Before you know it
A decade’s gone
Enjoy it while You’re Young, young
We all have a job we hate
We all have bills we have to pay
I miss the grade school days
Living a carefree life like back in the first grade
One day burns into a week
One week melts into a month
Before you know it
A decade’s gone
Enjoy it while You’re Young, young
It's not too early
It's not too late
To treasure all of your days
Enjoy it while You’re Young, young

Alive

I was at the party
Then all the food was gone
It was really getting late
Then they brought out the PS1
Been a long time since I played
But I still got skills on Pro skater
Like I said, it’s getting late
I’ll see you later
I’ll never forget these times
That seem so mundane but make me feel alive
Cruising on empty streets
All my windows down
Breezy 62 degrees
Man I love this town
I’ll never forget these times
That seem so mundane but make me feel alive
Every chance I get
I try to look around
Soak up all the sights and smells
And hear every little sound
I thank God for all I have
Every little breath
I try to be thankful in the good times
And the bad

Here with Me

Why do you love me
When I can’t even love myself
I know, that deep down I love me
Sometimes, I just need some help
When it’s hard to take a shower
And hard to brush my teeth
‘Cause I can’t get out of bed
I just sleep
But I know I can do this
Because I got you here with me
I cry, when I feel numb
I cry when I feel too much
I need someone to hold
To hold on tight to me, even when I let go
When it’s hard to take a shower
And hard to brush my teeth
‘Cause I can’t get out of bed
I just sleep
But I know I can do this
Because I got you here with me
Thank you for giving me time
Thank you for letting me be part of your life
There’s nothing I can ever do to repay you
So I wrote you this song to thank you
For being so strong for me
Thank you for all you do
Thank you for being you
