Looks like I'll be spending this winter alone
Listening to the b-sides of "Sticks and Stones"
Turn up the heat in my room
This side of the beds too cold
And the pictures have been off the wall for some time
But the memories have made plans to leave my mind
Here's to accepting the past
To my friends and better times
I'm moving on again
I'm making plans to tie these loose ends
I'm trying hard to stay true to who I am
And this could be the turning point for me
Will you wait with me?

Thick and Thin

Looking back on all these years
I never thought I would be here
Face down in all the memories we made
I guess I held on too tight
To the promises you swore you'd never break
Think of all the times I stood by you through thick and thin
And how I never let you fall
I know you'll pretend that this meant nothing
So go tell all your friends this prick means something
Lets make a point to never let you in again
Again 'cause there's no way that we'll stay friends
'Falling out of love' is just a phrase
It's nothing short of saying you still handle things the way
You did at seventeen
Behind every lie, lies two sides to every story
This one's mine
Think of all the times I stood by you through thick and thin
And how I never let you fall
I know you'll pretend that this meant nothing
So go tell all your friends this prick means something
Lets make a point to never let you in again
Again 'cause there's no way that we'll stay friends

This is the story of two kids that fall in love
But when you're still so young
Love's not enough
Lets take it back to a sunrise on the east side
Your comfort on my mind
A silhouette and a swing set were the witness
Of innocence and bliss
All that shines may not be a star
So before you wish make sure you look real hard
To find the truth hidden in her eyes
Cause mistakes you make will be her alibi
And five years, a stolen identity
Love lost, remains in a memory
You once were the biggest part of me
Now this song becomes our eulogy
All that shines may not be a star
So before you wish make sure you look real hard
To find the truth hidden in her eyes
Cause mistakes you make will be her alibi
A broken heart is nothing more than
A story for your friends
And all the time spent, was he worth it?
Choices have consequences
All that shines may not be a star
So before you wish make sure you look real hard
To find the truth hidden in her eyes
Cause mistakes you make will be her alibi

Westhaven Drive

I discovered a sound that would change my life
Express all those thoughts I kept buried inside
A middle school kid who was dying to find
A place in this world to not get left behind
So I followed that tempo to my house in Medfield
Sixteen O' Eight Westhaven Drive
With Magnified Plaid in my headphones
The summer of ninety-nine
I spent the winter writing down
The things I saw, the things I felt
And looking back it feels no different for me now
I spent the winter writing down
The things I saw, the things I felt
And looking back it feels no different for me now
Cause I have loved, I've lost and learned
And to this day to hear those songs it hurts
You find your strength in times of letting go

East Coast

You've been spending all your time with your nine to five
You go through the motions to just get by
Tell yourself it's fine when that kid inside
Is still drowning in oceans
You built a raft to sail away
(But tied to the docks it stays)
The hopes you've tethered are now faded and worn
What ever happened to that kid from the east coast
Who always said "to follow dreams you don't need roads"?
I've been placing my life on that line and its time
It's time I get away
You feel the pressure from all your friends
And your parents say "Son, just give in
Is the sacrifice worth passing up chances to be
Somebody your not?"
You built a raft to sail away
(But tied to the docks it stays)
The hopes you've tethered are now faded and worn
What ever happened to that kid from the east coast
Who always said "to follow dreams you don't need roads"?
I've been placing my life on that line and its time
It's time I get away
What ever happened to that kid from the east coast
Who always said "to follow dreams you don't need roads"?
I've been placing my life on that line and its time
It's time I get...
Oh we're those kids from the east coast
Who always said, "To follow dreams you don't need roads"
We've been placing our lives on that line
And it's time, it's time we get away
Our lives on that line
And it's time
This time we get away

I've been getting lost and I've been feeling down
This wishing well has yet to help me out
And I guess my pennies didn't land on heads
I've been counting stars and satellites
To them I'm nothing but a passer by
And it seems my planets haven't yet aligned
So hold on to me now
I'll find my way somehow
I'll be moving forward as soon as I can find
My bearings which I had when I was younger
I'll make my way through every passing day
Because I know I've yet to skip my stepping stones
Two broken hearts carry songs about
Losing love and questioning myself
This is me on display for all of you to see
I sport a restless mind and my hopes are high
When she cuts them down I don't recognize who I am
Oh who am I?
I'll be moving forward as soon as I can find
My bearings which I had when I was younger
I'll make my way through every passing day
Because I know I've yet to skip my stepping stones
I'll be moving forward
And I will make my way
