Heavy Things - Memphis High

I keep a ribbon tied in a knot around my wrist To represent promises made but never kept How do you spend your time Chasing all your dead ends I'm still wasting mine Like heat on the pavement You'll be gone with the sunset I hope you find what you've been looking for I hope you find exactly what you need It's alright to be scared, realize your unprepared You're not using me anymore You're not using me anymore What does the world look like Through that jealous set of eyes You never realize everything you do is all a lie Is this success to you Using fake friends to help you prove That you're worth something When they've gone away then you will be something to forget I hope you find what you've been looking for I hope you find exactly what you need It's alright to be scared, realize your unprepared You're not using me anymore You're not using me anymore Here we are four years later I'm left here with nothing I think I finally see now From the start we kept changing It's not your fault I'm making my own way now I hope you find what you've been looking for I hope you find exactly what you need It's alright to be scared, realize your unprepared You're not using me anymore You're not using me anymore

Will you leave a light on when I'm away Or maybe just something subtle like a candle in your window pane December 10th of last year we were hanging out In an alley, by New Years you were spitting fire out And I was the one to blame for things we had to drink For the things you had to think about you and me Will you leave a light on when I'm away Or maybe just something subtle like a candle in your window pane Not much but enough to guide me through the rain Will you leave a light on when I'm away I pulled you aside and asked you if you thought we would fail If the future is what's haunting us I'll build your trust from wood and nails I'll always feel you when I drive home late at night For a hundred miles back west on the interstate We drank under the stars that night when Morning came we stumbled right back home It doesn't sound like much but these Memories mean more than you would ever know

I'm fighting it I'm constantly grabbing for moments that slip Like sand between the fingers in my balled up fist I spent some days out on the coast this year And back in the midwest where it feels like home Everybody's stressed out by the incoming cold I keep my hands warm in my sweatshirt pocket But I can't stay for too long Cause I've been searching and what I'm finding I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from finding any peace I don't blame suburbia for the way I was brought up with decent opportunity I wasted my time scraping knees on the concrete, chasing what I thought I should be And when I was younger I was so naive taking for granted all the things that I need And tragedy meant nothing to me But I learned before long Cause when I leave home is when I feel it most I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from finding any peace I still have hope I'll learn to cope with things And fill my eyes with something better than this melancholy shade of blue The dark I feel each afternoon It lessens more each day I'm getting better with age and, I'm okay I'm okay I've been sold on the same old dreams Like changing scenery will change anything No matter the distance I'll always be At arms length from who I want to be At arms length from who I want to be

On the drive home In the headlight glow Memories flood back of who I used to know I feel the same cold when you let me go A decade later I can't shake it deep in my bones The years wind down we both move on Is there anything you would have done Am I just better off Cause every night I stare at the ceiling and wonder If it's you or me that's missing out Is it me that's missing out And lately I've been wondering the same for you as you go on with your day Who's missing out Is it me you're missing now I watch the snow fall Hear your favorite songs in my head The things you said I won't forget I'll avoid the same roads Take the long way home The late December Midwest weather keeps me here alone I'm fearing regret as I'm nearing the end A one side race against the hour glass sand The winds in the road I'm driving alone Things could be different if my words weren't choked

I feel it in my blood, darlin', when you hold me I can feel the chemicals You took the man I was, burned away the broken parts And left the beautiful There ain't a feeling that I would trade For that little smirk when you say my name You get me high, high, high With just your smile, my love Oh, my love You get me high, high, high When you're by my side, my love Oh, my love You get me High, high, high High, high, high High, high, high Told Mommy you're the one, she asked when I knew And I said, "Oh, right from the jump" (ooh) You're the only love I want, 'cause all I ever crave Is you on days when we're apart (ooh) There ain't a feeling that I would trade For that little smirk when you say my name You get me high, high, high With just your smile, my love Oh, my love You get me high, high, high When you're by my side, my love Oh, my love You get me High, high, high High, high, high High, high, high You get me high, high, high Oh, with just your smile, my love Oh, my love You get me
