C.C.S. - Mixtapes

I walked up to the hill where the sun was circles

I was stressed out

Passed the post office down High Street where we used to meet

Seven Mile changed substantially since I had moved away

The new owners they cut down all the trees

I don’t realize how cynical that I can be

I’m making changes to myself

I don’t always see the way I hurt you

I hurt myself too, It’s unimaginable

Never thought that I’d become this reflection that I see

And now I’m too late

But at least you’ve moved on

It feels great to escape

I’m sure you know

I can’t sing without a memory that keeps me awake

I’m doing better temporarily, temporarily

The smell of gasoline

The backyard fire on your trampoline

The moody messages that I would leave on an answering machine

I never yell much

I’m not any better

I just don’t really care

I’ve tried to make it up for years, I swear

The neighbors stared when I was locked outside of your apartment

I thought they called the cops but they were smoking weed

I thought I’d never make it out of here alive or not insane

It turns out that this is all I need

Cause when I got out I was scared and lonely

I’ve been pushing through

I’ve been staying up late in this quiet house

It’s like a hospital with better TV

I never figured that the silence could be so ordinary

So come and take me home

It’s better if I’m not around

And now I’m too late

But at least you’ve moved on

It feels great to escape, I’m sure you know

I can’t sing without a memory that keeps me awake

I’m doing better temporarily, temporarily, temporarily
