Floorboards 03:24
You said I didn't cry out to the clouds for nothing You told me everything eventually works out That's what I'll keep telling myself I don't want to be jealous of the trees next to my neighbor's garage anymore I'll just lie in the mess I made Don't let me fall off the edge and break down Try not to forget everything I said Just another week and I'll pick myself up off my boney knees I guess it took a year to realize that what I had was everything I needed to feel okay But still I've got these sleepy eyes that have seen too much for me to handle I'm not gonna lie, my skin and bones have seen some better days Thirty pounds ago seems like a more stable place to stay There's no point to the floorboards in my house Nothing feels right I can't stand up without you Nothing feels right

Anchor Down 03:10
I don't really think that I'm ready for another Chicago winter So you can stop making my bones feel cold I swear that emptiness lives inside your chest You're the reason you fell far away from what brought out your best Don't get me wrong, I wish a lot of things were the way they used to be The streets that used to make me feel alive just make me feel alone The holes in the wall get bigger every year It's hard to think that some people in this world look at me with the same eyes as yours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you and you wouldn't even lift one up for me Appreciation's something you lost in the dirt that's on your hands and knees But I'm never gonna be just a hole in the wall You can anchor down your feet and say fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here I'm not putting myself on a pedestal You need to stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be Anchor down your feet, say fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here Just stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be

You'll spend every Saturday night on the bathroom floor with no recollection of the night before You're a train wreck and everything that's in between Being alone doesn't seem so bad to me You're the type of girl that lets this whole town know when your lips come anywhere near a bottle All you want is the attention from every eye and ear that covers up the walls in this room I'd rather sleep with just my boney knees and the thought of someone that stands up straight I guess I'll sleep alone tonight You'll tell everyone you're different, but you're just a shade of grey that never stuck out to anybody Fast forward to 2am and the walls aren't spinning around enough for you to forget your ex-boyfriend and all of your shitty friends You say you'll keep it together, but I know you're gonna make those walls fall down They always do

Hope you're having fun away at college since you went there to run from all your fuck ups You're not so good at getting away from all of the karma that lies between your tongue and cheek It's gotten to the point that you're the spitting image of everything I never want to be I gave you chance after chance and it's obvious you haven't tried at all By now it's safe to say that I'll be erasing every trace you left in these lines I'm sorry for breaking down when I should've been stitching myself back up You left me on the fence with nowhere to jump since you always knew that my balance was as shitty as my judgment I had a feeling I'd be lying in the grass left for dead Now I'm stuck looking at that fence You've become the spitting image of everything I never want to be You're everything I never want to be

So much has changed back home since you left without packing all your things I always drive past your house hoping you'll be sitting on your porch I still smell the smoke on your clothes And I can still hear those secondhand stories fall off your tongue It's just not the same around here without you Most of the time I feel like you're in over your head out there You ran away from the midwest and traded it in for beaches and east coast sunsets Don't take in too much too soon Keep your chin up out there Don't forget where you came from and who cares about you Whenever you're missing home, just look at your arm You've got the state lines inked into your forearm There's still memories of you pinned on my wall Maybe you'll be here next year to waste the fall away, watching the leaves blow across my driveway We could listen to American Football and talk about high school Just like we did the years before
