You might see my hands shake,
but you won't feel my heart break.
I've seen all the worst of the world
and sometimes it's hard for me to just take it in.
I don't owe you anything.
I don't owe anyone any explanations.
I know what's in my head and I know what's in my heart.
You don't need to know a goddamn thing about me.
All you need to know is we're doing alright.
I've seen a lot of my friends to their grave.
That's how I learned to keep my dark in it's place.
My childhood friend drowned in a lake in a place
that when we were kids we used to go and hang.
How my brother and I didn't talk for years..

Sometimes I feel like
parking my car on the side of the road
and go running into the woods
and never coming back.
You know I feel this cold old heart
like I don't feel at all.
The only time we're together now
is at goddamn funerals.
I felt the same way then,
when I was a kid in a smaller town.
I smeared my heart across the floorboards
of the house I grew up in.
You gotta hold on tight..
And if I drive my car right off
the side of the mountain now
Just know I had planed it.
I had everything plotted out.
Down to the road we're driving down
and the song that's playing now
So if I feel the moment calling
don't touch the goddamn stereo!
I felt the same way when,
when I was a kid in the city lights..
Sparkling glass on the concrete
doing circles along the turnpike.
You gotta hold on tight..
I feel like I'm holding on to these memories,
but I'm hardly holding on myself.
You gotta hold on tight..

I don't think that the world was always trying to keep us close.
Maybe all along it was always trying to keep us apart.
We're both at fault for holding in shit we should have said.
So don't let your heart ache over what could have been.
Life's too short too wonder all along.
You're still my north star that guides my path.
Our love was like a shining that shot across the summer sky.
Quick as a lightening bolt that kissed the ground.
If you believe that we were guided by the hands of fate.
Then you've also gotta believe that those mistakes
were all so perfectly placed.
I've been searching for the heart I had back then
You're still my north star shining.
You've always been in my world.
You've always had a little piece of me with you
A little keepsake from my childhood
I used to wear around my neck.
I hope it brought you all the same luck that it gave me
with every passed moment.
So don't look back at a single fucking thing
with any little bit of regret.
I don't think that world was always trying to keep us close.
It was just keeping us where we needed to be
Any time I reached out to you or you reached out to me
Like teenagers looking for something deeper to believe.
Life's too short to walk back to the past.
You're still my north star that lights my path.

I hate how I can always walk into something
that I know is going to turn out bad
and I feel it in my gut and I wish I never had.
Still I hope it turns out fine.
Now she's doing lines of coke
and she's kissing on my arm
and walking around in underwear
She's talking all in circles
and stringing me along
saying how she hopes I'm always there.
I wanna say no but I don't want you to go right now at all..
I wish I could have known you
before all of the pain and the worries in your heart.
Back before you shook the target,
lost in pain and harmed,
fought the world and fell apart.
And I know it could be different
in every single way if you're not too scared to try.
And I said it could be different
in every single way, but I'm afraid you'll die..
I wanna say no but I don't want you to go right now at all.
I wanna say no.. but I don't want you to go.
