Try to stay
Just put the maps away, they're pulling you in the wrong way
I fold them in a prayer and I yell out "August, catch me, I'm here"
You know refusing to choose is a choice
It makes me comfortable all the same
Trying to convince the dread away
When every morning's an ocean to tame
Leave it open for friends or for thieves
Lazy persuasion of a mess unmoved
Built from values and goals with a stutter
Under the guise of a life improved
And there's a place in between our words
In the inhale before you shout
Where I feel like I'll make things better
Where I believe that I'll work this out

It's a great day to be young, complacent and spry
Empathetic to the grown ups just trying to get by
I've been lying face down with a smile
And the weight on my back pushing back for a while I'll try
Don't you think that my resume packs a punch?
What is your name? What do you do?
Taking a break for lunch. This is this life / this is life...
Don't you think it's about time to go settle down?
Get your feet on the ground!
College, career, marriage, a house and a car
You build this fucking game up like it's all that there is
I see myself and my friends and my family "fail"
And think that life's not worth living anymore. Fuck that, man

Hey I was thinking about when we got in the van
We drove down to the beach, waves filled our shoes right up with sand
You cut your fingers on a can last night
The blood didn't make much difference in rain and the beer but it might
We catch a little bit of sleep in the afternoon
I know that we don't keep much distance but we should and it's good I'm gone soon
I'd hoped you'd stay for one more summer
Maybe I will leave before you do, I'd like to think I could
Hey, I was thinking about when we lived in that house
When you stole bowling shoes, when Tom and Dan slept on our couch
Where we played drunk guitars, and stumbled down the frets
Rode bikes in moonlight down the block, then said goodbyes and placed our bets
