I'm safe, and who ever thought that I was difficult
My nerves start to feel so frayed
I'll try to turn things around, but instead
I'll say "Why do I feel so invisible
Good things will come my way"
I'll try to turn things around, and I wait

'Till the day when I stop making big mistakes
And the clouds, they roll out of this whole damn state
I believe in a place that I want to go
Honesty will leave me feeling livable
Once I change

Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering

Irate, caught in the worst storm inside of me
Words start to feel misplaced
You can change what you want with your pen
I pray, as things start to feel much more possible
This time, I'll know what to say
You can live how you want in these days

When the way that you talk makes up history
It's important to know why you clench your teeth
I'll flee to a place that I wanna go
With a shift in a sound that is physical
Know I'll change

Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering
That hole in my life and how it stayed inside my limbs
Must have been caught up in my skin
Now I've relied on that I've changed

Now that I've found some time, all the pain won't bother me
I've wanted to find why my head keeps filtering
That hole in my life, I just want it to die
It must have stayed inside of my limbs
Must have been caught up in my skin

    General Comment:sweet song

    i feel like he's singing about trying to take the pain inside of him and write about it in a way that he never has before, and once he finds the time to think it all through and put it into the right words then he can change for the better. and he doesn't have to have it weighing him down anymore

    General Comment:It doesn't really make sense but after
    "I believe in a place and I wanna go"
    I hear "Honesty willing me, feeling livable" ...

    And I 100% agree with
    "I'll flee to a place that I wanna go
    With the shift in a sound that is physical
    Know I'll change."
    & "And the clouds, they roll out of this whole damn state."

    The Dangerous Summer always always kill me with their songs.
    They're so real and way too relatable.
    It makes me ache. It's easier to play it off like I don't like them at all.
    But then I hear things like this... and I just can't.

    General Comment:Not sure on them all, but this is kinda what i get for your questionmarks:

    And the clouds, they ROLL OUT of this whole damn state.



    I'll flee to a place that I wanna go
    On a sea, you and me, feel believable (still not sure on this one)
    Know I'll change.

    I'll flee to a place that I wanna go
    With the shift in sound that is physical
    Know I'll change.
