I lie alone while the city’s sleeping Eyes wide open and a mind that feeds me All the reasons why I’m still awake And how tomorrow is just one more day Turn up the music and stare at the ceiling But nothing kills that sinking feeling That my best plan is just to keep drinking Because hope is just wishful thinking The wettest July since the 1950s I think the sky’s trying to tell me something I’m better off inside. If I don’t see my friends, I won’t see my enemies With defeatism and negativity You fuckers sap all of my energy Learning to choose between fight or flight Sick of these walls so I won’t stay home tonight It’s time for a change and some honesty And while I wait, there’s just no chance I’ll ever sleep at night So I can’t wait until it’s over The way I’ve been living the past few years It won’t be a shame if I never see myself again The wettest July since the 1950s I think the sky’s trying to tell me something I’m better off inside I’ve already spent far too long waiting for my time So I won’t run and hide And while I wait, there’s just no chance I’ll ever sleep at night So I can’t wait until it’s over I lie alone while the city is sleeping Eyes wide open and a mind that feeds me All the reasons why I’m still awake And how tomorrow is just one more... Turn up the music, stare at the ceiling But nothing kills that sinking feeling That my best plan is just to keep drinking Because hope is just wishful thinking WOAH-OH

When I searched alone Every find would go unfound Yeah I’d stare blankly at every clue But as a pair Yeah with company, we’ll cover wider ground So I’ll adventure along with you Please tell me what I’ve been searching for Please give me a reason not to go home and find out There’s no better company For searching high and low Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your latitude tonight We’ll call on the satellites Find treasure in the snow Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your longitude delighted That amongst all these bounties that are scattered around Yours was the one I found I’ll head out on my own To a spot concealed and sound I’ll hide a package just out of view Take a look by the willow tree With ivy all around Yeah there’s a prize waiting there for you Please tell me what I’ve been searching for Please give me a reason not to go home and find out There’s no better company For searching high and low Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your latitude tonight We’ll call on the satellites Find treasure in the snow Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your longitude delighted That amongst all these bounties that are scattered around Yours was the one I found You’ve got an eye for a familiar face But here I am still searching for someone with a likeness to you There’s no better company For searching high and low Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your latitude tonight We’ll call on the satellites Find treasure in the snow Oh Geocache Girl I’m at your longitude delighted That there’s no better company I know I’m at your latitude tonight You’ve got an eye for a familiar face But here I am still searching for someone with a likeness to you And amongst all these bounties that are scattered around Yours was the one I found

And so you say I’ve been away But I’ve been thinking of ways to stay ’Cause see, this town, it leaves me broken Hopeless, but devoted And so I stand on city corners As days grow long and nights grow colder Armed with a heavy heart and knocked by cold shoulders I feel I am... Ankle deep in the middle of the water The icy cold takes away my breath And leaves me gasping; choked for air And knowing I’m out of my depth Ankle deep in the middle of the water The creeping cold makes its way to my chest That hollow space that never seems to function Except to pump the blood to my face In times of crisis and opportunity And when even my body is putting up boundaries How can I expect to be free? So you say I’ve been away But I’ve been thinking of ways to stay ’Cause see, this town, it leaves me broken Hopeless, but devoted Ankle deep in the middle of the water The creeping cold makes its way to my chest That hollow space that never seems to function Except to pump the blood to my face And I feel the heat, and it burns my skin And I feel the water, and I let it in And when even my body is putting up boundaries How can I expect to be free? So you say I’ve been away But I’ve been thinking of ways to stay ’Cause see, this town, it leaves me broken Hopeless, but devoted This town that I loved so well Has turned its back on me, I can tell And when the silence sinks, I hope you think of me And everything that we could’ve been This town that I loved so well Has turned its back on me, I can tell And if I leave this town It won’t remember me And if I leave this town I know I’ll take it with me So you say I’ve been away But I’ve been thinking of ways to stay ’Cause see, this town, it leaves me broken Hopeless, but devoted

There is something that I’ve needed to say… There is something that I’ve needed to say to you And I just can’t wait any longer, no You say you’ve nothing to believe in Well please just stop complaining I was so sick of routine Revisiting places I’ve been before Well today is a day like any other I thought "Is this is for me? "Still stuck at seventeen "Will I ever get back all the days in between?" You parked your mind in a feeling And never tried to get free Your head and heart stopped working But that won’t be me Make a change Try and see beyond all of your yesterdays ’Cause you’re tired of the feeling And time isn’t healing And you’ve only got yourself to blame There’s something that I’ve needed to say And I just can’t wait any longer, no You can fuck all of your friends But it’s yourself you should be blaming I was so sick of routine Revisiting places I’ve been before I really want to believe Tomorrow’s not just another day When I wake up and think it’s over And hide my head under the covers And open my eyes and let the light in for the first time And I’ll say... I won’t let go or let, or let myself fall behind. I won’t listen to your words or let them prey on my mind. Negative outcomes stem from negative thoughts And I will not let you break me down
