stuck

safe when i'm inside
but as soon as i step outside
the city eats me alive
pretty palm trees from afar
i picture me playing my guitar
but it's been weeks
been months
been years

all i need is fresh air
natural light
how did that become
so freakin hard to find

stuck on the inside
stuck on the inside
trying not to cry
they don't understand why
i'm stuck on the inside

riding in your car
down broken boulevard
you have my head
my heart
my scars


three hours on the train's
getting harder in this rain
i don't wanna feel insane
but i do

all i need is fresh air
natural light
how did that become
so freakin hard to find

stuck on the inside
stuck on the inside
trying not to cry
they don't understand why
i'm stuck on the inside
of my of my
​mind

can i get to you
wanna be with you
wanna be with you
wanna be
cannot get to you

wanna be with you
wanna be with you
wanna be
can i get to you

wanna be with you
wanna be with you
wanna be
whoa

stuck on the inside, whoa

stuck on the inside, whoa
trying not to cry
they don't understand
why can't i get to you
wanna be with you
but i'm
stuck on the inside, whoa

i'm a shell
of a woman
just a chest
with no heart
just a head
with no mind
i am hollow inside

dress me up
just enough
make me thin
tilt my chin
i'll be your doll if you want
i'll be tall or be small
if you want
if you want

i'm still standing here
feeling kind of weird
just watching crowds
moving busily
staring at me
enviously
i don't understand

i'm a mannequin
man i can't
i can't live
live like this
all i know is emptiness
empty this display
and throw me away

i'm a mess
i'm dirty
i've been tested and scuffed up
can't protest cause i can't talk
oh please
you just like to mock me
​i'm still standing here
feeling kind of weird
just watching crowds
moving busily
staring at me
enviously
i don't understand

i'm a mannequin
man i can't
i can't live
live like this
all i know is emptiness
empty this display
and throw me away
all i know is emptiness
living on display
till you throw me away

we didn't know

remember how we used to play outside
till the sun would hide
behind the trees
we'd write jokes
as we spoke
make everything rhyme
laugh until we were weak

those are the memories we'll hold onto
while we search for somewhere to belong to

we dream of a day
when we can get away
go back to the place
where life was play
we know in our souls
we'll never grow old
don't want to let this go
but we didn't know

our paths are parting
our lives are slowly starting to take shape
but we liked our lines curved
before we heard
we had to change and make them straight

those are the memories
​while we search for somewhere to belong to

we dream of a day
when we can get away
go back to the place
where life was play
we know in our souls
we'll never grow old
don't want to let this go
but we didn't know

we just didn't know
we didn't
we just didn't
no we didn't
we just didn't know
we didn't know
didn't know yet

we'd dream of a day

when we could get away
go back to the place
where life was play
we know in our souls
we'll never grow old
don't want to let this go
but we didn't know

purpose

i'm tired of
spending everyday
wondering which way
to go
i've been looking up
i've been looking out
i don't know about
this road
i'm on it
and it's too late
i'm worrying
worrying

i can't do anything to change this
i can't do anything to change this

there's gotta be purpose
purpose for me
there's gotta be purpose
purpose for you
we will find
if we open up our minds
then we'll see
there is clear purpose
purpose for we

aren't you tired of
getting hung up
feeling unloved
being stuck
being stuck
can't live in the past
gotta make it last
this is life we have
we have

we can do anything and change is
the only thing that never changes

​there's gotta be purpose
purpose for me
there's gotta be purpose
purpose for you
we will find
if we open up our minds
then we'll see
there is clear purpose
purpose for we

i got a fire in me now
light me up
and watch me
burn it down
ooh
you
been saying the same things
for so long
and i've been waiting for my moment
to prove you wrong

so
here we go
i let go let go
ooh
don't want to fight you
no point in trying to
move
so i let go
i let go
all i have's the echo of you
all i have's the echo of

in your mind
i'm so behind
where i should be
you act like i am
blind to seeing truth
but in my mind
there's still time to find myself in me
somewhere hiding inside of my youth

so
here we go 
i let go let go
ooh
don't want to fight you 
no point in trying to
move
so i let go
i let go
all i have's the echo of you
all i have's the echo of

how to be happy

i wanna lay here
let the
sun beat down on me
forget the world i see
forget it all

just wanna lay here
underneath this lonely tree
give it some company
forgive it all

we all make mistakes i know
just open up your gates and go
let yourself be free
let love in and just be

while the world around us
might be falling apart
we gotta start
to love more
love life
love you
love me
love everybody
then we will see
how to be happy

i wanna stay here till the
sun decides to leave
forget the memories
forget it all

just wanna stay here
right beside the rolling sea
give it some company
forgive it all
we all make mistakes i know
just open up your gates and go
let yourself be free
let love in and just be

while the world around us
might be falling apart
we gotta start
to love more
love life
love you
love me
love everybody
then we will see
how to be happy

with you

now i finally feel
like i am myself
and i'm starting to see
that it's okay
to be like no one else

accepting is
the first step to truth
rejecting was
the only thing i knew before you
i'd fight the world before you

it's hard sometimes
when we think about the past
but you keep me present
wanna make this moment last
i know this will last

with you i'm me
with you i'm free
with you i'll be
with you oh, oh
with you oh, oh

you know what i mean
you hear my soul sing
when i'm looking at you
my mind forgets
every other little thing
i taste what your love can bring

you take me as i am
and hold me with your hands
we can't wait to make our plans

​it's hard sometimes
when we think about the past
but you keep me present
wanna make this moment last
i know this will last

with you i'm me
with you i'm free
with you i'll be
with you oh, oh
with you oh, oh

time slowing
clock showing
wind blowing
not knowing

where we are
take me far
away today
no way to say

i cannot explain
why to wish
when all four numbers
on the clock
are the same

but here it is
one one one one
can it wait till i'm done

cause i am wishing
at 11:11
can someone hear me
somewhere in heaven
whenever it says
11:11
wishes come true
if we let them

light glowing
thoughts flowing
wind blowing
i'm going

where am i
can i fly
away today
no way, jose

i cannot explain
why to wish
when all four numbers
on the clock
are the same

but here it is
one one one one
can it wait till i'm done

cause i am wishing 
at 11:11
can someone hear me 
somewhere in heaven
whenever it says
11:11
wishes come true
if we let them

maybe telling your wish
could make it come true
cause if you keep it inside
what good does that do
can't expect things to
just come to you
by fate

so what now
just sit there
and wait
by then
​it might be too late

i cannot explain

why to wish
when all four numbers
on the clock
are the same

but here it is
one one one one
can it wait till i'm done

cause i am wishing 
at 11:11
can someone hear me 
somewhere in heaven
whenever it says
11:11
wishes come true
if we let them
