You're a pretty young thing, and that much is true
I'm looking for the right words to say to you
But they keep falling out my mouth, and I don't know what to do
I keep coming to your court and I'm acting your fool
I'm a young boy who's trying to be a man
I keep on pretending like I ain't got a plan
But I want to reach out and take a hold of your hand
Go down that rabbit hole just to see where it ends
Because love's a parasite and I am the host
I keep falling in love with that little girl's ghost
She keeps on passing me by, does she even know
That I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go?
By the age of 21 I had all figured out
If she'd ever fall for me it would've happened by now
But then she flashes those eyes and I'm knocked back down
For one more trip on this merry-go-round
My love is Jay Gatsby mixed with Dorian Gray
I know it's unreturned but it will not fade away
Is she my Pulitzer Prize or just a book on a shelf,
a story that I made up and fed to myself?
And you're a pretty young thing and that much is true
I'm looking for the right words to say to you
I figured them out, so here I go, 1-2
I will walk away now unless you don't want me to

If I could be honest, if I only speak my mind
Life is but a picture show, so let's hit stop and rewind
And we'll travel back to that time when I
fell asleep at your house while you were getting high
We sang "Hey Jude" and hypothesized
If sad songs could get better or if McCartney lied
Then you said to me, "I think we'll be fine
if we keep our heads down and if we toe the line"
That's when I think this began
That was when I found my best friend
We weren't too young to realize
That life's not always fair, so we started to get wise
We left our homes and it made us cry
(I said), "If there's no guarantee, is it even worth the try?"
Then you said to me, "Hey, I hope you know
when I said I didn't care, I don't think that was so
It's just that I couldn't say
What was really on my mind that day"
Ever since then, this I know
If you feel it in your heart, it's okay to let it show
We made it back home to our family and friends
We never should have left, didn't think how this would end
We sat around and we played guitars
Those sad songs got better as we mended broken hearts
This is the truth that I hold high above
You are the one that I love

Requiem (Demo)

Wipe away tears that might fall on my face
So I won't look the fool and I want fall from grace
I'm heart-struck with terror, but I'll try to be brave
and call on my God that my soul might be saved
But it's so convoluted, so please give me you hand
I want it mine if I'm to understand
Because I don't know why, and I don't know how
But please tell me you love me and I'm okay for now
Drums will keep drumming and the world will go on
And lives will be lived after we are long gone
So I'll live for each moment, bring all I can bring
My requiem may be the only song I may sing
But I look in your face and I know that today
I will stay on this earth and I will not waste away
Because I don't know why, and I don't know how
But please tell me you love me and I'm okay for now
Nobody knows what tomorrow may bring
You can pity yourself, as for me I will sing
This life that I live is the only one that I got
I will do what I can so it won't be for naught
I will down my fences, my heart's on line
Reject it if you will and some day I'll be fine
But I don't know why, and I don't know how
But please tell me you love me and I'm okay for now
