The Old House

I went back to the old house
it was bittersweet
I swear I could see you kicking a ball down the street
they dug up the garden
they tore out the gate
they drained the pool, the renovated
it feels so strange
I guess you can't fight change
it's just that everything is so much smaller
I guess you can't fight change
it's just that this is not what I remember
I went back
to our old street
where we flew kites
it feels like some other life
there's where we ran
in old photographs
where we crashed our bikes
swore we never go inside
it feels so strange
I guess you can't fight change
it's just that everything is so much smaller
I guess you can't fight change
it's just that this is not what I remember
We were just kids on watermelon highs
praying the sun would never leave the sky

Summers

I remember like it was yesterday
we left each other standing in the rain
it was just like a movie scene
a cheesy poem, like the ones I read
I remember like it was yesterday
I bet if I left, you'd beg me to stay
when the day it finally came
your pale eyes watched me drive away
Do you remember the summers?
Long nights laughing under covers
By the time I thought "maybe I made a mistake"
it was way to late to change my ways
you know when I fight I have to be right
I'm sorry I blamed you
I shouldn't have blamed you
If there's anyone, anyone who knows how morose I can be,
baby it's me
Do you remember the summers?
Long nights laughing under covers
I wanted to tell you that I sold my old mercedes
I bought a new car
I wanted to tell you that I learned to write songs
and play an electric guitar
I wanted to say that I hate that part of growing up
is losing touch with the ones that you love
the ones who love you too much
the ones who help make you who you are

Diamond Sea

I want to see the water rise and fall in every ocean city
I want to see what the world looks like from every angle possible
I want to sing
in the middle of an open plane like Julie Andrews did
No one's easy to love
I love the way you make it seem
as light as a feather
like I'm weightless but everything
when I look at you I see all the beauty there could be
like I'm already floating
through a diamond sea
It's you and me
floating endlessly on a diamond sea
Who knew I could feel love
as deep as I've felt pain
who knew I could feel so free again
who knew that the lights would turn back on inside this crazy brain
it's crazier that you loved me back then anyway
It's you and me
floating endlessly on a diamond sea

Helpless Heart

Remember the summer
you and your brother left me standing on the stairs?
that night we'd set off fireworks
your neighbors, they called the cops
and we hid
we laughed until we lost our breaths
wondered if the cops would find us in our sleeping bags
I said at least we'd have each other in our cold jail cells and laughed
I still remember you as that little kid
crazy dancing under the stairs
I still love you the same way I did
my helpless heart, it is what it is
Do you remember when we pushed each other in shopping carts down that hill?
you let me go of me, I flew into a garden
ripped jeans and blood everywhere
We laughed until we lost our breaths
wondered if someone would find us
and wiped our tears
we said at least we'd have each other
we hid from every cop we saw for years
I still remember you as that little kid
crazy dancing under the stairs
I still love you the same way I did
my helpless heart, it is what it is
I hope you don't forget the feeling
the touch of the breeze
through our dirty ripped jeans
I hope you don't forget how it felt
to be carefree with someone else
I hope you still feel happy
and when you can't stop laughing
I hope you think about me
I hope you know I still feel it in the trees
our childhood weaves through them
I still feel those dreams
I still remember it
I still remember you
my helpless heart
it is what it's always been
my helpless heart, it is what it is
