[Intro]
Alright, alright everybody
I wrote this song on a Thursday
I think it's gonna be called Thursday
That's pretty much it
Alright
[Verse 1]
I can't believe it's Thursday already
A cabin fever dream too rough for me
I'm waiting for the lightning to strike me twice
Oh, baby, you know
I'll dissolve you with a poor man's poetry
Pistol-whip me back to my last summer
Teleport me back to something sweet
I see the light down Plato's sickly handgun
'Cause I know
That love is just a symptom of the weak
But I know that
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I don't need to
But I can't analyze you
A TV smile, she's lying through her knees again
Oh, Charlie
Another reason to regret
Oh, I'd trust you, girl
But I gotta be home by sunset
[Chorus]
Too cruel
For me to think I'd never fall back through
Too cruel
For me to think I'd never fall back through
[Verse 2]
I can't believe I'm 30 already
A window into who I'm meant to be
A burned-out bachelor, blister up my organs
'Cause I know
It's inevitable, I'll be your washed-up refugee
But you're too
[Chorus]
Too cruel
For me to think I'd never fall back through
Too cruel
For me to think I'd never fall back through
[Bridge]
[Refrain]
Too cruel
For me to blink and crawl right back to you

Paid Vacation

[Verse 1: Kennedy]
It's easy to say what people will pay
The steps in the stones, if I had a reason to stay
I'm all alone, just stuck on my phone
If I had something to say, I wouldn't be losing my focus today
It's easy to say what people will pay
The steps in the stones, if I had a reason to stay
I'm all alone, just stuck on my phone
If I had something to say, I wouldn't be losing my focus today
[Pre-Chorus: Kameron]
Give me something good for my focus
Give me something good for my focus
Give me something good for my focus
Give me something good for my
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Panda]
I was ballin' up, going crazy
Never had time to throw to waste and
This was my routine, this was my daily
Doing my thing, couldn't keep me stationed
Now all this lonely time had me lazy
Wanna go out, and I keep waiting
I'm so restless, making me crazy
The world outside testing my patience
I've watched the movies (I've watched the movies)
And I've played those games (And I've played those games)
This gotta be the third week that I lost sleep
Nocturnal, hitting up the dreams at 8
Turning my bedroom into a man-cave
Getting lost in my thoughts, now I can't think straight
This the Great Depression in another kind of new wave
Wondering when I'm breaking out
Set free from this cage
[Pre-Chorus: Kennedy]
It's easy to say what people will pay
The steps in the stones, if I had a reason to stay
[Chorus: Kameron]
Give me something good for my focus
Give me something good for my focus
Give me something good for my focus
Give me something good for my focus
It's not a paid vacation
It's not a paid vacation
[Outro: Kennedy]
It's easy to say what people will pay
The steps in the stones, if I had a reason to stay
I'm all alone, just stuck on my phone
If I had something to say, I wouldn't be losing my focus today

Early Bird

|
[Intro]
I can't stand another night
Without the sound of you
Breathing softly
[Verse 1]
The sound was like the song that I knew back in preschool
It didn't have a chord or a key
The melody was sweet and I thought it was peaceful
Like listening to the sound of the sea (So if you're ready to go)
I'll be up at dawn and I'll leave by the morning
You won't recall a thing that I said (I think I'm ready to go)
I don't think that I will be here in the morning
My palms are on the back of my head
[Chorus]
I can't find the words
To tell you how it ends
I should've been the early bird
But maybe we're better off friends
[Verse 2]
Something in the way that she looks when she sees me
Tells me that she wants me to stay (So if you love me, don't go)
Something in the weight of the way that you whisper
I wanna hear you calling my name ('Cause you will reap what you sow)
[Chorus]
I can't find the words
To tell you how it ends
I should've been the early bird
But maybe we're better off friends
You put on the mask
And I will follow suit
Every night I wish
That I could tell you
I can't stand it
When you look at me
Just like you do
[Breakdown]
I can't stand another night
Without the sound of you
Breathing softly
'Cause when I turn out all the lights
The silence is screaming
But if you want, babe
[Refrain]
I'll be up at dawn and I'll leave by the morning
You won't recall a thing that I said
We'll celebrate with coffee and cold conversation
Pretending that we're nothing but friends

Waves

|
[Verse 1]
Optimism failed but it's alright
'Cause I go blind when sunlight hits my eyes
We're swimming fast, I'll just pretend I'm fine
But to you, my dear, I feel worse when I lie (To you, oh)
Constant revelations in the night
And I tried to sleep, but always picking fights
The ups and downs are subdued
But patience is a virtue
Crests and troughs will always kiss the sky (Above, oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Save me, oh the water's to my neck, oh
Save me, and the tide's getting higher, so
Save me, oh the water's to my neck, oh
The water's to my neck, oh
[Verse 2]
Foam and surf are breaking in the dark
Easier to miss the boat when you miss the mark
Driving empty highways without headlights to guide
But the PCH is already in sight (You and me, go)
[Pre-Chorus]
Save me, oh the water's to my neck, oh
Save me, and the tide's getting higher, so
Save me, oh the water's to my neck, oh
The water's to my neck, oh
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanted us to go to the waves (To the waves)
And I wanted us to go to the waves (To the waves)
'Cause I always wanna be where you're standing next to me
Right here, right now, not there or anywhere else
I wanted us to go to the waves (To the waves)
And I wanted us to go to the waves (To the waves)
'Cause you're holding onto me, throw myself into the sea
Right here, right now, not there or anywhere else
[Bridge]
I was up late, and I didn't get your phone call
My mistake, I'll just fall in love at midnight
Mixing all day as I'm swimming with the sine waves
All night long
[Chorus]
And I wanted us to go to the waves
And I wanted us to go to the waves
And I
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Not there or anywhere else
Or anywhere else
