Let's Be Lonely (feat. Kathryn Ellis) 03:17
lyrics
buy track
[Wyatt Counterman] I used to hold your hand At the end of Kingston drive Up until you said goodbye We used to stay up late Til you fell asleep on me And we woke between the sheets Now every time I read your name On my Twitter feed, I can barely breathe You still got a hold on me baby I hate to admit that I can’t sleep ‘cause I think of you, and I’m missing you You’re still the girl of my dreams But let’s be lonely together It don’t matter whether We’re better like this Or we feel like shit It’s better that we’re lonely [Kathryn Ellis] You used to be the man Who I couldn’t live without And I didn’t have a doubt But then you broke my heart And you let me get away Why’d you let me get away? [Wyatt Counterman] Now every time I see your face Out around the town, I keep my head down You still got a hold on me baby I hate to admit that I can’t sleep ‘cause I think of you, and I’m missing you You’re always the girl of my dreams [Chorus] But I don’t wanna be Just another scene In your past That didn’t last ‘Cause I just wanna be Everything you see When you close your eyes [Chorus] x2

[Intro] Say what! We have no idea what we're saying yet No words yet Thinking up some lyrics In the intro - uh huh - doing some lyrics Uh, wait I think I got something Alright man, I'll follow your lead [Hook: Wyatt Counterman, Mary Beth Arendash, and Jacob Mitchell] I have no money but I look pretty dope Just lost my twenty so I guess that I'm broke [Verse 1: Wyatt] Yeah okay They tell me every day that I need to be cheerful How the hell does that work when I have the whole year full Of gas, food, hobbies, and my college tuition They all tell me to talk but then they say that I'm bitchin' Well, sorry sir, sorry ma'am, you don't understand You see, twice a year I have to write a check for six grand You tell me "stop complaining" but we ain't on the same page Look, I work a job that gives me minimum wage I stock all the shelves and then I help the old ladies They even make me hear trashy songs from the 80's I'm sorry to say it, but that's cruel and unusual Punishments I'm dealing with, rather be in a cubicle But I'll always be broke, I'm in the college of arts I'll make almost nothing, but I'll win lots of hearts Yeah, it's a dumb dumb decision, I know And now I'm debt from my head to my toes [Hook x2] [Verse 2: Jacob] You see that box on the side of the road? Over there, yeah that, that's the place I call home I got a cardboard chair and a cardboard bed And the ceiling's so low I always hit my damn head My girlfriend tells me that I need a real house She's done fooling around on my cardboard couch I'm sorry there babe, but you know I can't do that The people at the bank said I'm broke - I said screw that I'm a broke-ass man, check my broke-ass wallet I got broke-ass friends or whatever you call it I got loans out my ass because I went off to college I'm just glad I'm not a *beer can opening* alcoholic I'm sorry that I can't always buy you nice things Like big fancy necklaces and nice diamond rings But don't give up on me, one day I'll be rich And I guess if I'm not, then life is a bitch [Hook x2] [Verse 3: Jacob/Wyatt] New car / Can't afford it Ramen noodles / I adore it Student loans / That sucks My wallet / Two bucks Got a girlfriend / That's good But I live / In the hood No one pays me / That's life And I'm lazy / Damn right! (x2) [Hook x2]

You give me that look and I don't know what to do Got them big green eyes so beautiful My heart beats faster and faster, girl Can we meet up this afternoon? Can't stop thinkin' 'bout you and me And the way you kiss and the way you breathe And the way you make me wait for you Wait for me I've been waiting for you Don't make me wait no more I just wanna see you In the afternoon [Instrumental] Don't give me that look, girl With them puppy dog eyes, it's no fuckin' surprise That you always get your way Yeah, you always get your way I can't ever say no, girl 'Cause I'm head over heels, don't you know how that feels And I don't know what to say When you look at me that way [Prechorus] [Instrumental] I promise that I'll never go and cheat on you like Tiger did Come on over and I'll kiss you upside-down like Spiderman You always make me feel better, you're a fuckin' vitamin And every time I'm out with you, you know that I am buying shit 'Cause when we at the mall, girl I know you want it all You want everything hanging, floor to ceiling, wall to wall I'm right here, you need me you can just give me a call But if it don't hurt now, could it ever hurt at all? [Instrumental]

Make You Smile 01:27

I'd do anything to make you smile On the days when you're sad and hurt I'd do anything to make you smile And I'll try and try until it works I'll take you out for ice cream And I wouldn't make you pay I'd buy you all the toppings On your hot fudge sundae We can play your favorite games And I'll even let you win Because every time you lose I know it gets under your skin I'll tell you terrible jokes So bad they might make you cry Baby I'll do whatever it takes I'd do anything to make you smile (Chorus)

I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be lonely I just want you tonight, you're my one and only I don't want no one else, don't want anybody No material things, I don't need any money And you don't know what I'm going through And I don't know what to do I've been so messed up without you And when it gets cold I don't want to be alone And when it's dark outside I just want to be by your side 'Cause I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't I don't, I don't, I don't want to be alone Instrumental Hook I had a dream come true, it was you, it was you, it was you And now my dream come true is really coming true And now I'm standing here and holding your hand in mine And it makes me see what I think of all the time That this right here is what I want And without it I'd be lost I'd be so messed up without you Chorus Instrumental Hook Next to you is where I want to be Come and put your head here next to me Next to you is where I want to be Come and put your head here next to me Chorus

Please 03:53

I wish you knew the way that I felt With you last night, you get me so well The look in your eyes and the way that you smile I forget how to breathe -- make me feel like a child I can't believe that I've gotten this far Now all I need is your heart Please don't give up on me And I won't give up on you Baby, you know just how it feels Your hand wrapped in mine; a feeling for real The touch of your lips; a cold summer night A feeling like this; a feeling so right I can't believe that I've gotten this far Now all I need is your heart Please don't give up on me And I won't give up on you Well I'm sitting and I'm waiting For the day I'll stop complaining Saying I deserve a genie in a bottle And the wait is almost over Now you're grabbing on my shoulder Holding tight, it's like I finally won the lotto (Chorus)

The Guys 03:14

Last night we went crazy There's footprints on the wall How does that even happen? I guess it don't really matter at all Did you see where my shirt went? I don't remember even taking it off Has anybody seen Jacob? ... no? Well I guess that he's lost It was 3 am We were still going strong Singing "now that we're men" Our favorite Spongebob song Waking up on the floor And we're really not sure Where we are but it's all okay Trashed the house, made a mess But we're all so blessed That we're crazy in all ways It's a heterosexual romance Oh, just another night out with the guys We really shouldn't text exes Well maybe just one I think we woke up the neighbors But damn it was fun Playing Xbox, waiting til the sun drops Might run out of food but the party's not gon' stop Getting tired, light things on fire Doing anything our hearts will desire [Prechorus] [Chorus] Guys night out, I'mma pick up the food No girls allowed, we ain't got any room No one's sad, no one's singing the blues We got red Solo cups filled with plenty of boo- (water) Love all my guys, yeah I swear it's no homo His sister is hot but keep that on the low low You know we're insane, yeah we're bout to go loco The only rule here is obeying the bro code [Chorus]

Float Away 03:33
lyrics

With your lipstick on my face And your footprints as you walked away I can't forget anything that we did, that we did Now I'm waiting, watching clocks, Being patient, hoping that I can make it Til I see you again, again Oh tell me where did you go Did I do something wrong, did I mess something up Oh just an evening alone Did I let you slip through my finger and thumb If you let me go Away I'll float 'Cause every time I try to talk to you I feel like I am losing oxygen Don't let go Never let go of me I'll float away One day you're saying you miss me Next you say nothing at all One day you can't get enough babe But you won't return my call I feel like I'm floating away Out of sight, out of mind, out of touch And there's nothing that I can do So I guess its up to you (Chorus) You're out of my league I'm out of my mind I'm pushing my luck You're waving goodbye I'm making mistakes But you're just fine You're just fine (x2) (Chorus)

Amtrak Ride (feat. Jacob Mitchell) 02:39

[Jacob Mitchell] I'm sitting on a train in the rain waiting for the sun I'm waiting for the raining but the raining doesn't wanna be done Though I feel like stopping, my jaw's jaw dropping, 'cause I see the trees wave hi And I wonder if I'm crazy, maybe I'm just lazy and my imagination's letting me down I don't know how to speak to you I don't know just what to say You're right there, don't know what to do I might just daydream the day away And I'm so wrong And I'm so wrong And I'm so wrong And I'm so wrong [Jacob Mitchell] Our knees touch once and I can feel myself freaking out I'm trying not to speak cause I'm throwing up in my mouth You're leaning on my shoulder The eye of the beholder is telling me we should make out But... (Chorus) [Wyatt Counterman] Train cars are passing Parents are harassing And we've only got an hour left I've got my arm around you As you take a light snooze Steal myself a little kiss I'm losing my heart on an Amtrack ride And I'm falling hard down a spiraling slide I think she might be the one (Chorus)
