I've been searching for a hand to hold
An open fire in the freezing cold
I've been hurt by the too and fro
Calculating my weight in gold
And I spent one too many nights on my bathroom floor
And I'll spill my guts but the feelings still endure
And I thought I'd be saved by a bottle but it only hurt me more
Now I don't think that I can be saved anymore
Running circles getting nowhere
I take a deep breath to feel my lungs tear
If I'm really stuck living the rest of my life
I'll have to find a way to improvise
And I spent one too many nights on my bathroom floor
And I'll spill my guts but the feelings still endure
And I thought I'd be saved by a bottle but it only hurt me more
Now I don't think that I can be saved anymore
I thought I had a chance at happiness but maybe it was just a dream
And I'm destined to lose everything
Spread my wings and fly above the sea but flew too close to the sun
Now I've fallen deep into the ocean
And I spent one too many nights on my bathroom floor
And I'll spill my guts but the feelings still endure
And I thought I'd be saved by a bottle but it only hurt me more
Now I don't think that I can be saved anymore

Staring straight into the glass
Someone else is looking back
They almost look like they know me
I don't recognize their face
And I could use some space
I hate the voices in my head
Hate when they start making sense
Feel the water hit my skin
But I'm still cold
And I feel old
Season's coming round again
I'm right back where I started
Don't feel that much different
Thought I'd heal from everything
But I'm right back where I started
Don't feel that much different
Fitting into present tense
Bailing out on all my friends
Lost my wallet at the liquor store
Searching for the way to stay afloat
Season's coming round again
I'm right back where I started
Don't feel that much different
Thought I'd heal from everything
But I'm right back where I started
Don't feel that much different
Saw you text me late last night
While I was drinking
Could've come to spend the night
But I was too fucked up
So I stumbled through my driveway
And I stumbled through the door
And I passed out on the couch
I left my shit out in my car
I woke up the next morning feeling sorry for myself
Knowing I'll repeat the cycle
Until i drink myself to death
Season's coming round again
I'm right back where I started
Don't feel that much different
Thought I'd heal from everything
But I'm right back where I started
Don't feel that much different

I've been beaten down before but never quite this bad
I used to be able to take it but you've taken all I have
Now I see a silhoutte in my passenger seat
That looks a bit too much like you for me to ever feel free
For me to ever feel free
Free from your grasp from your hold, your arms remain around my waist
Your hair is done up in a bun just like it always used to be
And I will crawl right back to you when I see you in my dreams
And I am worse for wear admittedly but that's all I've ever been
Just wanna be loved by you
Just wanna be loved by you
Just wanna be loved by you
You left for college, I thought that distance eases pain
But i still feel a ghostly pull from 500 miles away
I'll tell myself I'm doing better and I'm fine just on my own
But I'd drop everything to be with you the second you came home
And I can't blame you for everything it's just as much my fault
Didn't make it easier to watch it fall apart
It's been so long and I still can't shake the thoughts
Of that trip to colorado, getting drunk with you, or that band we'll never start
Just wanna be loved by you
Just wanna be loved by you
Just wanna be loved by you
So I'll stay here right where you left me
And I'll stay here in case you ever come back
