NIKON (feat. Josiah Davis)

Took way too many photos

I look my best friend in the eye

But I don't recognize him

I've been paralyzed since I left you behind

The wall's too tall to climb

The cost was far too high

I called a hundred times just for a call declined

We were nineteen in a house covered in ivy

Defined me

'Til the day I finally find me

Our lives seemed way easier then

Way before we learned what easier meant

I know that friends leave

I know that empty feeling full of envy

I pulled my dead feet out of a three pole tent in a deadbeat house 'til it left me out

Always takin' photos of Can and Aidan

Maybe if the band stayed, then we would've made it

Maybe if we had faith and a little patience

Way too many late nights I procrastinated

Still haven't graduated yet, but I'm on my way

Ain't nothin' been the same since I left that place

Make my own path, sacrifice these grades

Prayin' that our roads pass as we chase these trains, yeah

You're in a place I can't find

In my mind, can we get back?

Are we still intact?

And I know it's all behind

But I’ll try to relive that

I promise I'll fix that

I took way too many photos

I took way too many photos

I took way too many photos

(I took way too many photos)

Four years later, I know nothing feels the same

New house, new job, uncle went estranged

6 AM, wake up, do it all again

Tryna be okay with the man that I became

But I miss it

Other than the mouse in the kitchen

Other than the times that I wouldn't even listen

Other than the lies that I told when we dipped

It was hard to admit

We were never really fit inside a home

Two weeks left, and all alone

Around the same time, I started talkin' more to Soph

Funny how a thousand opened when we chose to close the door

Wish I knew it all before, but that's just how it goes

When we swam into the lake, rain pourin' on the shore

After Cabin fell apart, we had nothin' to control

But at least we're still alive, and at least you're on my phone

I just hope it's not the end, but it's feelin' like we're close

We were fallin' apart on the runway

Now I'm bettin' it all on a someday

I wanna fly

I know one day I'll be there

Now we’re fallin' apart on the runway

And now I'm bettin' it all on a someday

I wanna fly

I know one day I'll be there

(I'll be there)

(I’ll be there)

Now I'm fallin' apart on the runway

And now I'm bettin' it all on a someday

I wanna fly

(Yeah)

You're in a place I can't find

In my mind, can we get back?

Are we still intact?

Now I'm fallin' apart on the runway

And I know it's all behind

And now I'm bettin' it all on a someday

But I’ll try to relive that

I wanna fly

I promise I'll fix that

I know some day I'll be there

(You're in a place I can't find)

(In my mind, can we get back?)

(Are we still intact?)

I know these will all be stories someday

And our pictures will become old photographs

But right now, this is happening

And in this moment… you are alive
