Bucket List

Awakening dreams
This is what it means to be alive
Not sitting at a desk just wasting time
Not stuck in 9-9s disguised as 9-5s
Take a chance on your life
Snow-capped mountains and streams you can drink from
Just be brave enough to try
Fly across the world, sing to a room full of strangers
Now open your eyes
There's cotton candy in the sky
I'm on a rollercoaster of my own design
I can either go down or enjoy the ride
Got my bucket list in hand (bucket list in hand)
I got my savings and no plan (savings and no plan)
I got my friends, I got my band
Got my head in the clouds and my feet in the sand
There's a certain scent in the air
I'd bottle it if I could
It's the inside of a tennis bubble
Freshly mowed grass, the ocean
And every reminder of childhood
Life was so good
Life is still good
There's cotton candy in the sky
I'm on a rollercoaster of my own design
I can either go down or enjoy the ride
Got my bucket list in hand (bucket list in hand)
I got my savings and no plan (savings and no plan)
I got my friends, I got my band
Got my head in the clouds and my feet in the sand
Happiness is a choice
I choose to be happy
Happiness is a choice
I choose to be, I choose to be
Happiness is a choice
I choose to be happy
Happiness is a choice
I choose to be, I choose to be
I can either go down or enjoy the ride
Got my bucket list in hand (bucket list in hand)
I got my savings and no plan (savings and no plan)
I got my friends, I got my band
Got my head in the clouds and my feet in the

Perfect Strangers
04:45

I know I can't stay but I'm still
This room is hot but I got the chills
I'm losing my mind
Can't you tell, can't you tell
Wanna fix this but I just don't know how
And maybe we're not meant to talk again
Maybe this was meant to stay broken
Maybe I'm supposed to admire you from afar
Baby, now we're strangers in train cars
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
Strangers in train cars
Strangers in dive bars
Everywhere we go we're perfect strangers
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
But this is what I got
An iron press hot to the face
Every time I hear your name
It comes in waves
But hey, you should know
I'm mostly happy on my own
But baby, now we're strangers in train cars
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
(I see you look the other way)
(Even standing close to you)
This is never what I wanted
(Makes me feel so far away)
(There's nothing that I can do)
Strangers in train cars
Strangers in dive bars
Everywhere we go we're perfect strangers
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
But this is what I got
I have this tendency
Impatience, it envelopes me
I shake my head but my lips say yes
And just like that
My value decreases
My heart breaks into pieces
I should carry releases listing out all my demons
I know I can't win but I play anyway
'Cause I love a good challenge
I never said that I didn't
I obsess over every small victory
I don't learn from my history
Overanalyze like I sanitize
And the germs become immune
I know I can't win but I play anyway
Baby, now we're strangers in coffee shops
Baby, now we're strangers on sidewalks
Maybe we're not meant to talk again
Baby, now we're strangers in train cars
Baby, now we're strangers in dive bars
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
(I see you look the other way)
(Even standing close to you)
This is never what I wanted
(Makes me feel so far away)
(There's nothing that I can do)
Strangers in train cars
Strangers in dive bars
Everywhere we go we're perfect strangers
This is never what I wanted
This is never what I wanted
But this is what I got

Nowhere Land
04:01

Stuck in the middle
I won't take back control
There's something I like about my lack of it here
(You watched it disappear)
This is Nowhere Land
I'm in the habit of never letting go
I know, I know, I know
I could be fully happy if I tried
I know you could be too
I think eventually came sooner for you
(It's your point of view)
But I could be wrong
Being that I don't know you at all
I realized that when you cut me off
All nonchalantly, so composed
I'm not ready yet
Don't wait for me
I don't know if I'll ever be
I'm just a little preoccupied counting to infinity
Watching paint dry and grass grow
Relearning things that I already know
(This is Nowhere Land, you're in the habit of never letting go)
(You're dancing in a sinkhole)
I'm calling your bluff
You've lived here long enough
There's light at the end of the tunnel
Can you get there before it crumbles
You're sinking the sun
It's so much easier to leave it alone
You think your hands are on fire
But your pain is just a concept
I'm gonna be okay soon
There's just something I gotta do
Find this needle in that haystack
By that beehive past that fire pit
That's blazing in that dry looking forest
And there's a bridge I have to drive across
So I'll go fish my car out of the river
I'm telling you it's quicker than all the alternatives
I did the math, I made the calls
I'm lucky I can do this at all
Are you with me or against me
Break me gently, leave me slowly
I'm never gonna stop trying
Never gonna, never gonna
(You really gotta stop trying, really gotta, really gotta)
I'm never gonna stop trying
Never gonna, never gonna
(You really gotta stop trying, really gotta, really gotta)
Never gonna
(This is Nowhere Land, you're in the habit of never letting go)
(You're dancing in a sinkhole)
I'm calling your bluff
You've lived here long enough
There's light at the end of the tunnel
Can you get there before it crumbles
You're sinking the sun
It's so much easier to leave it alone
You think your hands are on fire
But your pain is just a concept
