I grew up in a beautiful town
With beautiful people and sights all around
We spent our summers in the sunshine, winters in the snow
Every day was perfect even though we didn't know
We had it made in the shade and life was a breeze
Remembering those times it always puts my mind at ease
When I think about the place that made me who I am
Won my heart when I was young and stole it back now as a man
Chorus:
For a while I been meaning to say
That I'm grateful in every way
For all the people who believed in me
And all summers in the sunshine spent by the sea
For every memory that I made growing up
And all the friends I have and always will to fill up my cup
For mom and dad and how they worked so hard
Always saying they believed in me and I'd go far
Well thanks to every one of you, I just wanna say
That I'm grateful...in every way
I grew up, moved out of my home
Set off for adventure and out on my own
I found a brand new city, made a brand new start
And even though I did it always hurt to be apart
From the places and faces that I knew best
Remembering them all it puts a knot up in my chest
When I think about the place that's always been a part
Of me and even though I left it never left my heart
Chorus
Well I got some things I wanna say so thanks for listening in
But we're just getting started so before we begin
There's a few people that I think I oughta mention
So turn the music loud and give me your attention
Thanks to anyone who ever thought that I was a joke
And anyone who ever thought that I would always be broke
Go on and laugh in my face, cuz I'll have you to thank
When I'm la la la laughing all the way to the bank
And if you ever felt the need to hate on one of my songs
Thanks for making me working harder just so I could prove you wrong
I'm grateful for the disappointment and the hurt that's come my way
Cuz all the good and bad that happened made me who I am today
Chorus

Fallin' Behind

I keep having this nightmare
That time’s slipping away
There’s no way I can stop it
And the worst part’s I’m awake
I keep wondering if I’m
Ever gonna be
The person that I want
Or should I wake up from this dream?
But I can’t fight the feeling
That none of this is real
And the only thing that matters
Are the things that we can we feel
It’s all about the journey
And life isn’t a race
So instead of stressing imma
Live it at my own pace, but
Chorus:
Sometimes I feel like I am fallin’ behind
But I tell everyone that I’m doing fine
So what? They got a head start
Some make money and some make art
So what? They got a head start
I got empty pockets but a full heart
I got empty pockets but a full heart
I got empty pockets but a full heart
I keep getting this feeling
There’s a storm inside my head
But every time I want to quit
That voice inside me says
Don’t try to fight the feeling
That none of this is real
And the only thing that matters
Are the things that we can we feel
It’s all about the journey
And life isn’t a race
So instead of stressing imma
Live it at my own pace, but
Chorus
And maybe they’re ahead of me
And I’m just not as far
Maybe I've become the punchline
While they're setting the bar
Maybe I'm my own worst enemy
With self-inflicted scars
You can try to change
But you just can’t quit who you are
But I can’t fight the feeling
That none of this is real
And the only thing that matters
Are the things that we can we feel
It’s all about the journey
And life isn’t a race
So instead of stressing imma
Live it at my own pace, yeah
Sometimes I feel like I am fallin’ behind
But I tell everyone that I’m doing fine
So what? They got a head start
They make money and I make art
So what? They got a head start
I got empty pockets but a full heart
I got empty pockets but a full heart
I got empty pockets but a full heart

Savin' Up

Why won't you answer when I need it the most?
You're trying to get so far away, I need you close
Well isn't life good enough here
Where you can be near and there's nothing to fear
But I know you don't see it that way at all
You said you were saving up
And I got all worked up for nothing
And you said that you knew we'd be fine
But I'm worried that this is the end of the line
Chorus
I know I'm not right
So please don't remind me
All the mistakes that I've made
They're in the past, they are behind me
And I know you're leaving
So please don't remind me
Or I'll lock myself inside my mind
And you'll never find me
Plans change
And people change too
If you can't make change well I
I guess I'll just have to make do
And you won't know what you're missing
I'm trying to tell you but you won't listen
Chorus
And every single time you say the words
“I’m leaving”, oh girl
Don’t you know that it hurts
I know I can’t stop you, but god knows I’ll try
I just can’t admit
This could be goodbye
Chorus x2

Parted ways on the subway the first time
First time that the thought had crossed my mind
I never had to watch you walk away
And say goodbye at the end of the day
And as we came to the intersection
Where he headed in different directions
I looked deeply into your eyes
Something made me realize
Chorus
When I go home
I never want to leave without you
I never want to be without you
Cuz life ain't as sweet without you, without you
Singing out ohhh
When I go home
I never want to leave without you
I never want to be without you
My life ain't complete without you
Without you, without you oh
Well I was uptown bound on the E train
And you were headed east back to Brooklyn
But the only thing I could think about was
How I could never live without you
Without you, without you, singing out ohhh
Chorus
And I know some say we're moving all too fast, that's fine
But if I have to leave you, let it be the last time
Cuz I don't want to spend another night alone
I have never loved someone so deeply in my bones
Chorus

Easy in the Harness

What does it mean to be successful?
What does it mean to make it big?
Does a paycheck solve all of your problems?
Or does it put lipstick on a pig?
My friends seem to have no worries
They're taking trips and buying homes
They're all making lots of money
And all I make is songs
Chorus
But I was easy in the harness, asleep at the wheel
And I was running from the only thing that ever felt real
I would’ve turned back if I'd known how
I was too busy spending all my time
Chasing down a dream that was never mine
I wish I’d known then what I know now
All my friends are in a hurry
To grow up and settle down
They've got good heads on their shoulders
And my head’s in the clouds
Chorus
So when is it safe to say you've made it?
When your wallet's bursting at the seams?
Is that what they mean when they say happy?
Or does it mean living your dreams?
Chorus
