Terabithia

Lyrics by Jacob Mitchell
[Verse 1]
I fell into the river
Like that girl in Terabithia
And you reached down to help me
Laughing "I'm sure gonna miss ya”
You told me you loved me
All I could say was thank you
If I can’t get away soon
Then I can’t get away soon
[Chorus]
'Cause my mind is strong
But my heart is weak
And I don’t know which
One to listen to
[Hook]
I don’t know
[Verse 2]
We sat on my car’s rooftop
Sharing a clove cigarette
You admitted what you did to me
Was something you’d regret now
I said "that makes sense
I think you’ll regret it too"
If I can’t get away soon
Then I won’t get away soon
[Chorus]
[Hook]
[Bridge]
I threw the watch you gave me
Into a ravine
I don't wear a watch anyway
You never got to know me
[Chorus]
[Hook]

Track Star

|

Lyrics by Wyatt Counterman
[Chorus]
Track star running through the middle of my heart
Every time I'm with you I let down my guard
Everything's easy with you, it's not hard, not hard
I run out of breath just trying to be your second best
'Cause you're my track star, running through the middle of me
[Verse 1]
You're setting records that I'll never break
You're making victories I'll never make
You're an olympian, I'm on the couch
You speed right by me and you don't make a sound
I'd be a mess without you
All of my stress and doubts come through
I'd be a mess without you
Can't even tell you what I'd do
[Pre-Chorus]
I was broken hearted when you ran into my life
When you ran into my life, when you ran into my life, baby
I was broken hearted when you ran into my life
When you ran into my life, when you ran into my life just like a
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
You're setting records that I'll never break
You're making victories I'll never make
I try to run to keep up with you
But you show me up girl, through and trough
I get so weak when you come around
I get tongue-tied, I can't make a sound
Got me tangled up like a shoelace
I'm tripping and falling on my face
Think you deserve a first place
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Lyrics by Wyatt Counterman
[Verse 1]
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 any/every body
Can't buy my affections, don't need no 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
[Chorus]
And when it gets cold, I don't wanna be on my own
When it's dark outside, I just wanna 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 wanna be alone
[Verse 2]
Table for one at the cafe
When everyone here's lookin' at me
'Cause they know I used to come with you
But now I'm without you, my bad, babe
And I don't know what to do
Baby I don't know what to say
'Cause every single time that I walk away
I stumble and fall like Macy Gray
I hear that sad song up on the radio
I never noticed each time it played before
But now I'm lonely and now I want more
Than an empty seat and an empty heart and these scars you left on me
And you don't know what I'm going through
And I don't know what to do
I'm just so messed up without you
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I won't let one stone knock me down
One drop won't overflow me
I won't be crying on my own
I won't let no one own me
[Chorus]

Lyrics by Jacob Mitchell
[Chorus]
I remember warm beers in December
Basement blues, drown out the pain
Take me back to the boys with no clue
Basement blues, gone are the days!
[Verse 1]
Take me back to the days when I was young and dumb
Sweet escape, bad mistakes, burned away ‘till I’m undone
Take me back to the days when I pushed it all down
Is it better to drag myself along or will I swim ‘till I drown?
[Interlude]
Sweet escape, Sweet escape!
[Verse 2]
Here I wait, open arms, for the wave crashing over me
Take me, use me, cleanse me of all my anxiety
I never seek it but I smile at its name
I close my eyes and I can see it in the flame
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Was it better to be numb and push away the strain?
Is it better just to face down the sea in vein
Am I better than who I was when I ran away?
Is this ache inside of me the result of growing pains?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]

Focused
02:14
|

Lyrics by Wyatt Counterman & Jacob Mitchell
[Verse 1]
How come you pop up in my head
Every single night in my bed
And I can't help but think about us
Every single night when I'm drunk
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm just sippin' some wine
Thinkin' 'bout you in the morning light
Making me wish you were in my arms
Making me feel like we've gone too far
[Chorus]
Focused on you x4
[Verse 2]
Did you love me 'cause I loved you
Or 'cause I made you feel safe?
Did you ever understand me?
Is that the reason why you chase?
'Cause I’m breakin' and I’m bruising
I’m in love with these mistakes
I’m so anxious, I’m so stupid
Can’t let thoughts of you escape
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Lyrics by Wyatt Counterman
[Verse 1]
I saw you last night
It was in a dream but our love died
There was nothing there but you and I
I couldn't forget it if I tried
[Chorus]
This is where I have to go
To see your beauty
Where I have to go
To see you're just like me
Come on back, don't be shy
Even if we have to try a little bit
It'll be alright
[Verse 2]
If life is but a dream
Then why aren't you ever here for me
I have been so blind, but I can see
There has never been a you and me
[Bridge]
I know I'm being crazy
I know you'll come back some day
Leave me, but I'm not angry
I will always have my dreams
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I saw you last night
I had to tell reality goodbye
I can see whenever I close my eyes
Dreams will get me through the night tonight

Center of Attention
04:44
|

Lyrics by Wyatt Counterman
[Verse 1]
Just when I think I know myself
You see me from a new perspective
And I can’t help but overthink sometimes
You help me read between the lines
[Pre-Chorus]
Even when I’m crazy and stupid
You make my dreams feel lucid
And I can’t help but feeling this way
Even when I down to my last drop
You make me feel like time stopped
No I can’t help but feeling this way
[Chorus]
When it’s said and done
You’re my center of attention oh
Out of all my dreams
You will always be the best one oh
And when I’m with you
It’s like nothing really matters oh
How can you love me?
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I get down with my life
You build me up with just a smile
And I don’t know how you can love me so well
But never stop doin what you do
And I don’t know why you continue to try
never stop doin what you do
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Don’t say I’m wrong
Don’t shake it off
I know it’s true ooh
[Chorus]

The Tale of the Siren
03:50
|

Lyrics by Wyatt Counterman
[Verse 1]
Oh siren
I'm feeling low right now
I know it's an illusion
But take me away
Oh siren
What lies beyond the clouds?
It's a losing game
But I'm ready to play
[Pre-Chorus]
So when you come on knocking
Just seeing if I'm home
You know that I'll come running
Back to you
You pled your case, I'll take it
Though it was full of holes
'Cause I always come running
Back to you
[Chorus]
Call out to me like a siren
Tearing into my skin
Calling out my name
Singing sweetly like a siren
Take a match and light it
Set me into flames
[Verse 2]
But I know you’re nothing but a fantasy
So when I wake up and there’s nothing chasing after me
I’ll be wide awake and lower than I’ve ever been
Knowing I shouldn’t be wanting something bad for me
You give me hell disguised as paradise
Now I’m looking for a future in your staring eyes
So I roll away my morals with a pair of dice
What am I doing to my life
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Oh, siren
[Chorus]

Lyrics by Wyatt Counterman
[Verse 1]
She said should I trust you
I said No no no (no no no)
But she hopped in the car
Like go go go (go go go)
Now we’re taking our time
so nice and slow (nice and slow)
This feels too damn good to keep
On the low
[Pre-Chorus]
I just want me and you and you and me forever
And no body else can do it better
Singing 21st night of September
Me and you and you...
[Chorus]
And there’s nobody like you
No there’s nobody who
Makes me feel like you do
There’s nobody like... there’s no body like...
[Verse 2]
It’s a good good feeling you know
Draped head to toe in Moschino
Singing out loud to the radio
Last night flew by, wish you’d never go
So I took a little time to remember that night
And that feeling so right Dancing in the moonlight
With you there by side It was such a surprise that you whispered to me
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

Escape
02:40
|

Lyrics by Wyatt Counterman
[Verse 1]
Tell me, if I ran away
And took all my things with me
Would you leave and follow me
Would you come along with me
If I packed all of my goods
And I took off to the woods
Tell me, would you risk it all
Baby tell me if you could
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I’m slowly going out of my mind here
There’s nothing I’d leave behind here
I just want to escape
So would you be my escape
It feels like everything’s bad here
And it’s making me sad here
So would you grab my hand dear
And would you be my escape
[Verse 2]
One more day and I swear I’m done
Pack my bags and I’m on the run
Cause the only life I want to lead
Is a life under the trees
So come get lost with me tonight
Cause life back home just don’t feel right
Let’s run from all our problems
Cause life’s too short to solve them
[Pre-Chorus]
Because I’m slowly going out of my mind here
There’s nothing I’d leave behind here
I just want to escape
So would you be my escape
It feels like everything’s bad here
And it’s making me sad here
So would you grab my hand dear
And would you be my escape
[Outro]
Don't miss my train
Can't get out of my brain
Going out of my mind
Afraid I'll hate what I find
So would you be my escape?
