it's getting dark, i've been tired for a while
i am sad to see you've been afraid to smile
take the train, i am thousands miles gone
but you're here and for now i am home
i'm sure you've heard
that this year has been a hard one
as for you, you can't help but feel alone in the city
on the tracks, watch you slowly start to crumble
you're afraid that we might not be okay when we're older
it's hard to make it last, i know
pass the places that i never used to go
meet the people that i never got to know
in your room sit alone with my guitar
and i wonder how i could be at home
i am not the first to love you
but i will be the last to leave
i would fall without you standing next to me
and for now, i am home

she's picking her moment, she's making her plans
all of her dreams are dying to fly
he's grown so tired of the hollow facades
he misses the summer when he felt alive
we're singing the old songs, we're drowning in air
all of our love is living alone
some of us leaving, some of us stuck in time
all of us needing a place to come home
please don't say there was never a point
and please don't fail to notice the beauty around
i'm just one person and i've come here on my own
but i'm not leaving you, i'll never let you down
she's closing to eyes to the good in the world
mistaking desire for all that is real
he's playing so cool now, he got what he wanted
but he can't even understand what he feels
lost, we're so lost on this side
lost, in you, i'm lost, and i am fine
lost, in all our love, in all our ecstasy and pain
lost, but we're okay, we're all okay
please don't say there was never a point
and please don't fail to notice the beauty around
i'm just one person and i've come here on my own
but i'm not leaving you, i'll never let you down

passed out in your car again
see you lying through your teeth, claim to hate your friends
hear you're hitting up the streets cos you play pretend
know you're hoping somewhere's home that you've never been
you're wacked out, nowhere to begin
your life is too fucked up for you to dream again
since you can't sell lies i hear you screaming them
can't remember why you loved us or believed in him
see us comin to a crawl
i forget we loved at all
just crawlin right along
feels like it was yesterday
we were best friends, i was bound to pay
for your hard luck, tried to find a way
love was just a vision, we could never stay
i’m fed up with your misery
your bad dreams, they are haunting me
i regret that i’m starting to agree
with your self-fulfilling promise of insanity
see us comin to a crawl
the city it is sinking to the bottom of the dirty sea
your ghost is floating faster far away from me
your family is struggling just hoping to believe
i am waiting for the day that you've decided not to breathe
you promise you're not scared to die
if that's true dunno how or why
you try to get through by believing lies
if everything is failing what is your reply
cos you're stuck up on the negative
i was there, you told me that you wanna live
now you don't care, nothin left to give
this dirty city, its dirty sea
i once believed in you back when you believed in me
your ghost is rising and we're coming to a crawl
i forget we loved at all
just crawling right along

you pay for a life you're reluctant to live
refusing to take so you wont have to give
you're keeping control but you're losing it all
and you won't let it go so you don't get to fall
so here they shall guide you along the high roads
you're singing and swinging, you do what you're told
but only the silence will lead you to light
your demons are winning without having to fight
you're fearing the future, analyzing the past
you're certain that love alone cannot last
you swallow the truth and project all the lies
and with every step comes a new compromise
so let the current run against you, let the bandits have their way
and she'll watch you from the shoreline as you spill, what a pitiful decay
you're stuck by the prospect of living alone
ignoring the ways you have traveled and grown
you're drowned in a river of treacherous pain
at least when you're shallow you still have the rain
you call out their names while you're swimming in wine
and you don't believe but you pray for a sign
you know with the seasons their memories will fade
each day you continue your sad masquerade
so let the current run against you, let the bandits have their way
and she'll watch you from the shoreline as you spill, what a pitiful decay

the city is drowning in its ever present rain
kids splash through puddles soaking
but they never do complain
back at the high school
they are fighting to stay young
singing their anthems because
the darkness hasn't won
they miss you in portland, i can tell
she's only happy when her living room is full
he's watching baseball, he's taking drives with billy joel
they're smoking cigarettes, waiting for a sign
all they can hope for is just a little peace of mind
they miss you in portland, i can tell
you could come home, tell them they had it wrong
we could go back, save the sad songs for another day
they miss you in portland, i can tell

alive with me (acoustic)

you have your scene and i have my reasons
you know the season’s always gonna change
i don’t believe in lovers leaving
just comes from being worn out from the rain
i used to see her when i was sleeping
she’d be sick and crying out to me
since the summer made us older
i’ve been colder, i don’t care to dream
is living worth the price of giving up
of letting go of all that i swore i’d hold onto
out through the dark and stormy night
i meet him daily in eyes of strangers
all the danger’s faded from my fears
i still need them, i still breathe them
but i’m dry of honesty and tears
is living worth the price of getting old
of realizing nothing you can hold in your hand
lasts for long, just a moment then it’s gone
if i could show her everything she missed
writing songs, seeing stars, the way i fell in love
i’m so lonely, ungrateful, i’d give it all away
to hear your voice, touch your hand
oh my god if we could stand by the lake where we first met
if you could be alive with me
i’m not scared and i am certain
someday all our hurting will desist
til then i’ll collect a pile
of every piece of lauren i have missed

it's not the way i'd like to know
i'd rather see your face
instead of hanging on the phone lines
and leaving you in space
no one has the perfect words
when the world falls apart
and even holding
makes you lonely
i am not the one to tell you
you're gonna be safe
but i'll stay up all night
i'll keep your bad dreams at bay
you're so beautiful but your heart is caving in
when the moment comes you call me, i’ll be there
i'll take the next train home from boston
and i will hold you close
take down the barricades you had to face, i’ll be there
i don't have the answers
i don't know where we should begin
but i don't think it's fair
that all of us are so afraid of living
i'll take the next train home
i'll be there

life it has you spinning in every direction
your eyes are getting narrow, you’re just waiting for the end
the sky is falling lower, i’m just hoping you’re alive
although living is uncomfortable and no one will survive
started thinking i was lonely, started feeling fine
started learning how to handle all these tragedies of mine
i guess that’s getting older, i guess that’s what i’ll do
never thought that i was capable of moving on from you
could have sworn i was in love, could have sworn you broke my heart
but nothing changes timing now i don’t know who you are
i guess i hope you miss me, i guess that i still care
when i make my way across the states i hope i find you there
today we’ll let the light heal our hearts
i spent all my time just fighting to hold on to all my pain
i’m still struggling to understand you wanted it this way
cos the beauty overwhelmed me but the sadness did me in
i found caring left me crying, i had wanted to begin
my heart had fallen fast into the hands of something real
understanding’s difficult, it’s easier to feel
you found me in the darkness and i started to unfold
never wanted someone bad enough to leave the truth untold
your roses line my trails but the season’s uninspired
sometimes loving makes me lonely, sometimes sleeping makes me tired
it’s okay the plans we’re making might not ever leave our heads
it’s worth it just to see you lying next to me in bed
i know that you will hurt me
i’ll probably hurt you too
but our hearts could stand the healing
for the moment i’ll be true to you
today we’ll let the light heal our hearts

i last saw you at the deli on the boulevard
you breathe your cigarettes like air
you said you'd rather be alone
than face the doubt inside the great unknown
find some peace of mind out there
you're south of the city
and you say that's where you'll stay, at least a while
you say this is who you are now
but i don't recognize your heart now
i know faking it has never been your style
so how's it feel to be out on your own
like we used to sing, you're just a rolling stone
and you've made it clear that you're better off without me
and what's it like to deny how you feel
ignore all the things you once swore were real
i know you'll remember them tomorrow
your identity's not separate from the ones you love
you will never be alone
we'll become the means of finding your stability
you will never be alone
[chorus I]
i don't think if you're alone you're free
'cos i've held your love and i know you see
people give this crumbling world its worth
[chorus III]

there's a chance i'll see you in december
but i'm leaving you
i can't help but remember all the nights
i looked in your eyes and saw the truth
the sun's begun to share its love
but our hearts have run and hide
you close your eyes and take in all the darkness
but i look up and see the sky
there's a chance i won't be back for winter
so don't wait up for me
you will find someone to tolerate your selfish love
and i will run free
i will head to new york city
write another bitter song
about the space inside your chest
until you understand there's two ways
on the road that we are sharing
there's a chance you'll miss me in the morning
when i'm running from the sunset
while you're wishing you could fly
and i know there's a chance that
this will be the last time we are here
and you don't believe
and you don't believe in me
