i left something in the wrong time
i left something in the wrong time
and you will look and you will try to find
but i left something in the wrong time
he's standing in the back of the room
and he came to me with his eyes closed
there's a chance it happened a little too soon
but that's what he knew when he tried to forego
and he's getting close to the sunrise
the shadows fall they try to coincide
with the feeling he gets when he looks in her eyes
for there is something in the wrong time
stay where you are my friend
you're calling for nothing once again
and right now, this could be a little more exciting
you're standing on the edge of a new sunrise
the yellow lines in front of you will be your guide
and right now, you could be a little more inviting
i left something in the wrong time
i left something in the wrong time
and you will look and you will try to find
but i left something in the wrong time
and he's walking down the isolated line
he talks to himself trying not to hide
the feeling he gets when he looks in her eyes
for there is something in the wrong time
and he's getting close to the sunrise
the shadows fall they try to coincide
with the feeling he gets when he looks in her eyes
for there is something in the wrong time
stay where you are my friend
you're calling for nothing once again
and right now, this could be a little more exciting
you're standing on the edge of a new sunrise
the yellow lines in front of you will be your guide
and right now, you could be a little more inviting
i left something in the wrong time
i left something in the wrong time
and you will look and you will try to find
but i left something in the wrong time

December

he stands alone no one can hear him
watches snow come down outside
he says that no one would believe him
can't see his thoughts just through his eyes
he stands alone, the connotations
of being surrounded by everyone
gets to him and his temptations
to fall backwards, come undone
he starts to see the complications
of trying to walk before he can run
unless someone shines a light towards him
he'll fall backwards, come undone
he'll fall backwards, come undone
he needs to take himself
and take ahold of you //
i need to take myself
and take ahold of you
i have tried so hard
to walk between the lines
when December comes
i will walk outside
i will walk outside
and if i'd had her then
i would have been just fine
when December comes
i will walk outside
i will walk outside
i have tried so hard
to walk between the lines
when December comes
i will walk outside
i will walk outside

First Herd: Seldom

wake up
time to go
sift through the branches again
won't wait up for more
in this quiet
comes the day
left with believing you somehow are different
than what you know
and you can't say
who you love
the smiles will fade and then with that
morning comes
again
is this what you're missing
my resemblance to no one and someone
holds the difference
at first, at first
where are you going
and will you be happy there
a victim of thinking you somehow are better off
with them
and i moved the leaves for you
got lost in the trees for you
my resemblance to no one looks something like someone
you once knew
and i'd say
this is what you're missing
at first, at first
at first, at first

stay for one more drink
on the bedroom floor
i know the hours are long
you don't know what they're for
welcome to this great distance
and if you want i'll pick you up
and we can sit, and we'll laugh, and i'll tell you
everything i wish that i was
but if you want i'll stay
and we'll be beautiful
and we'll be nothing
(and i'll jump from where i stand)
and maybe that's what i want
maybe that's just what i want
don't you bother me
i'm trying to erase
i can't i've lost my place
i can't i've lost my place
i'll stand for nothing
if you stand for nothing too
and i fucked up the question
so the answer's my fault
