(Verse 1)
Seems just like yesterday
When waking brought a smile to stay

Our lives were carved in stone
And now the chisel's in my hands
To try and meet the world's demands

You've left me all alone
(Verse 2)
It's my last semester

Toss my wishes down the well
How I wish you'd wish me well
And tell me it's alright

That you'll be somewhere deep inside
My head
Until the day I'm dead

'Till the day we're good as dead
(Chorus)
And it's these days like seconds that take me by surprise

Won't you ever show your face around here again?
It's these days like seconds that make me realize
It's just a matter of time

'Cause we're all waiting in line
For a last goodbye
And yours came too early my friend

(Verse 3)
Two months 'till Tallahassee
Sinking shipwrecks on my mind

Could this be the last song I ever write?
Before I'm forced to surrender
The right side of my brain

To thieves and crooks and pessimists
Who tell me I'm insane
(Pre-chorus)

But you're all that I'll be
When the world ignites around me
Found the worth that's in a smile

Has won me over
(Chorus)
(Middle-8)

So I'll pray to a god that I don't quite trust
'Cause this fear for tomorrow is a little too much
So please won't you somehow just let me be

The boy on the stage with the fire inside
Spewing sermons of sadness and original lies
Embracing what September stole from me

(Chorus)
