Mt. Hope - Mixtapes

I packed my car and headed west

With my guitar and some things to get off of my chest

And lately the weather can’t get me down anymore

I just close the door and pretend I’m not a mess

And me and Matt, we just talked in the driveway

About how everyone just likes to stay inside

And listen to songs that make them feel nostalgic

But I won’t let those dumb songs ruin my night

And Duncan broke down as it was getting late

And the night was great, but it can always be better

We won eight hundred bucks playing dice that day

And we picked him up down by one-twenty-eight

And it felt like we talked all night

And we watched bad movies, but some were alright

And I felt more at peace than I have in a while

Sometimes I think the best nights are only spent with best friends

Sometimes I’d like to be alone

I guess it gets depressing

As these days stack up

As these nights fly by, it’s good enough

It’s good enough

We’re passing out for about an hour

To give the world a chance to get its shit together

Hiding out here in the shower

Cause it’s safe and secure and I can’t get hurt no more

And in light of all these dark, dark days

Sometimes I come down here to give me space

And when we’re together, I feel stronger

That’s why memories can’t go away

And we sat down under that playground under the bridge

And as I looked up, these words, they came together finally

And I saw the sign that takes me home

And that parking lot still stands and we laugh

I can’t remember all the crazy nights

We all the missed the times that made us get here

It’s funny cause I’m not sure we arrived

And when we fall down, we get back up

It’s what I’ve learned when I feel alone

And the songs that made us lose our voices

Those songs can take us home

There’s a piece of you in every song I sing

Not to mention my intentions when they get the best of me

There’s a place I go when I can’t find the strength to break myself away

But I’m getting better every day

And if I survived, then you can too
