The Maine Album Lyrics by The Maine

dose no. 2

First breath out of a coma
Over and over
Oh, what a lovely view of you
A two-step into disorder
I stumble forward towards something so brand new

And I feel alright (feel alright)
Yeah, I feel alright
Alright

I let go
This is somethin' spiritual
When I say so
Give me life, give me love
Leveled up on a higher dose
No sorrow (baby, this is chemical)
Hit just like an antidote (can't come down, down)
Adios (give me, yeah, give me)
Give me life, give me love
Leveled up on a higher dose

Mic check
Say hi to Lolo
Goodbye to normal
Welcome to your mad world
Where you can forget
About your boredom
From this day forward
Well, I will give you a love on every level

I let go
This is somethin' spiritual
When I say so
Give me life, give me love
Leveled up on a higher dose
No sorrow (baby, this is chemical)
Hit just like an antidote (can't come down, down)
Adios (give me, yeah, give me)
Give me life, give me love
Leveled up on a higher dose
(Woo)

And I feel alright
(And I feel alright)
And I feel alright
Alright, right

I let go (I let go)
This is somethin' spiritual (this somethin' spiritual)
A vibrant soul (a vibrant soul)
Give me life, give me love
Got me hooked on a higher dose
No sorrow (baby, this is chemical)
Hit just like an antidote (can't come down, down)
Adios (give me, yeah, give me)
Give me life, give me love
Leveled up on a higher dose

how to exit a room

Like I had an idea, it was like
"Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun, dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun"

I'm looking for my friends
So sick of blending in
And every night it ends
The same as it begins
With my
One drink turns to one smoke
Wish I could jump out the window

They play my favorite song
But somehow play it wrong
I put a smile on
In order to belong
So I'll try
Small talk over cheap shots
Fake pays, but at what cost?

I'm desperate for a different point of view
Yeah, I can show you how to exit a room

So waste the night away
While I escape
I hate it here, I'm leaving soon
Yeah, I can show you how to exit a room
I don't know where we are
And even though
I hate it here, I don't have to
Yeah, I can show you how to exit a room

They're strung out on the phone
They're tripping dial tones
I'm dancing all alone
I'd rather be at home
So I, I got high but it's wearing off
I got holes in my camouflage

Can't recognize this night from another
And I hate goodbye's but I'm not above
And I can't go back, I can't go back

Yeah, I can show you how to exit a room

So waste the night away
While I escape
I hate it here, I'm leaving soon
Yeah, I can show you how to exit a room
I don't know where we are
And even though
I hate it here, I don't have to
Yeah, I can show you how to exit a room

Face down on the pavement
And on the way down, it was painless
But now I'm so sick of telling lies
You know I just can't fake it
Face down on the pavement
And I don't want fame, you can take it
I want to live every bit of life
I never want to waste it again
Face down on the pavement
And on the way down, it was painless
But now I'm so sick of telling lies
You know I just can't fake it

Just can't fake it
(Yeah, I can show you how to exit a room)
Just can't fake it

I don't need a plan if I've got your hand
(Is it going? Is there like a certain way you want me to say it?)

blame

Blame, blame, blame

Adderall and television
Play it like a politician
You can't stop the twitching in your eye, right?
Artificial altruism
Looking for a fuss to give
And all you want is just another couple hundred likes

It's easier if I'm to blame
Yeah, it's easier if I'm to blame
It's easier if I'm to blame

It's easier if I'm the one you blame (blame) for everything
For every single memory in your brain (brain)
We both got stories, but they're not the same
So make believe eventually you can forget my name (name)
But it's easier if I'm the one you blame
We both got stories, but they're not the same

Alcohol and ammunition
Melancholic disposition
Add it to the story in your mind, right?
Know-it-alls, they never listen
God forbid a poor decision
Now I know why I still regret you

Aerosol and tunnel vision
Prerecorded mannerisms
Couldn't stop the twitching in my eye
I disregard the pessimism
Disappoint the algorithm
All we want is just another couple hundred likes

It's easier if I'm to blame
Yeah, it's easier to numb the pain
It's easier if I'm to blame

It's easier if I'm the one you blame (blame) for everything
For every single memory in your brain (brain)
We both got stories, but they're not the same
So make believe eventually you can forget my name (name)
But it's easier if I'm the one you blame
If I could take it all back, I wouldn't take it all back now
We both got stories, but they're not the same
If I could take it all back, I wouldn't take it all back now
Blame, blame, blame

Try to save some face
I can't say I blame you now
(Adderall and television, play it like a politician)
Bless your selfish ways
Only you can save you now
(Alcohol and ammunition)
I won't hold it against you
Won't hold it against you (it's easier to blame)
I won't hold it against you
Won't hold it against you

'Cause it's easier if I'm the one you blame (blame) for everything
For every single memory in your brain
We both got stories, but they're not the same
So make believe eventually you can forget my name
But it's easier if I'm the one you blame

Blame it all on me
Blame, blame, blame
If I could take it all back
I wouldn't take it all back now
Blame, blame, blame

leave in five

Maybe this is make believe
Or maybe I was lost in the lights
I lit a bomb and skipped the lead
Burnin' out a million times

So, if I call your number
And I say I'll leave in five
Wait on me, don't wander
If I, if I've

Been waitin' all night, I been nowhere
Baby's on fire but she don't care
Try to keep quiet, honest, I swear
Baby's on fire but she don't care
No-oh

Make it like it's New Year's Eve (set the night on fire)
Fallin' on the Fourth of July
A fever like you won't believe (fever like you won't believe)
Burnin' out a, a million times (times)

So, if I call your number (if I call your number)
And I say I'll leave in five (say I'll leave in five)
Wait on me, don't wonder (wait on me, don't wonder)
If I, if I've

Been waitin' all night, I been nowhere
Baby's on fire but she don't care
Try to keep quiet, honest, I swear
Baby's on fire but she don't care
No-oh (no-oh, no-oh, no-oh)
No-oh (no-oh, no-oh, no-oh)

So, if I call your number
And I say I'll leave in five (leave in five)
Wait on me, don't wander
Wait on me, wait on me, wait on me
(Don't wander)

(Don't wander)

Been waitin' all night, I been nowhere
Baby's on fire but she don't care
Try to keep quiet, honest, I swear
Baby's on fire but she don't care

I been waitin' all night, I been nowhere
Baby's on fire but she don't care
I try to keep quiet, honest, I swear
Baby's on fire but she don't care
No-oh

Wait on me, don't wander
Wait on me, don't wander

the mood i'm in / jsyk

Well, I could give you words, tell you where my head's been
Hit you where it hurts, say it with my chest
And time it keeps on running out, keeps on
I don't wish you the worst (of all of my intentions)
Just don't think you're worth (a moment of attention)
Time it keeps on running out, keeps on

Just so you know
So you know

If I've been unapproachable, or I seem too emotional
Life has been a rollercoaster, so it goes
I've been avoiding confrontational bullshit conversations
So if I forgot to say hello
It's just the mood I'm in

At first I couldn't take the tension
So here's the second verse
Please don't take offense when
Time just keeps on running out, keeps on
Let's go our separate ways (it's probably for the best and)
I could turn the page (on all our second guessin')
And I'll keep on running out, keep on runnin'

If I've been unapproachable, or I seem too emotional
Life has been a rollercoaster, so it goes
I've been avoiding confrontational bullshit conversations
So if I forgot to say hello
It's just the mood I'm in

Just so you know
So you know

Tell me, yeah (keep on runnin' out, keep on)
Write it down (keep on runnin' out, keep on)
Just tell me now (keep on runnin' out, keep on)
Yeah (keep on runnin' out, keep on runnin')

If I've been unapproachable, or I seem too emotional
Life has been a rollercoaster, so it goes
I've been avoiding confrontational bullshit conversations
So if I forgot to say hello
Please don't take it personal

I just need you to say like, "Okay"
Okay?

i think about you all the time

Jump, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey (hey, hey, hey)

The thought of you is wrapped around my neck (I'm chokin')
This lonely view is blue and violent (in the worst way)
The things I'd do to see you in that dress (on my phone)
I'm drinking all alone but I'll pretend

That one more vodka soda
Will get you (sorta) halfway off my mind

On a concrete floor in the Ace Hotel
It's a half-bad thought and I'm not so well
Well, it's not just like you're kind of on my mind, oh-ohh (oh-ohh)
Yeah, I'm all lit up in a lonely town
Would you still pick up if I call right now?
Well, it's not just like you're kind of on my mind
Oh-ohh, I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time

Saw your old apartment in my head (the worst day)
Roll like teenage lovers in your bed (in the best way)
Gossip, tender lovin', mornin' sex (on a cold day)
I woke up all alone but I'll pretend

That one more vodka soda
Will help me get over
The truth that you're not only sometimes on my mind

On a concrete floor in the Ace Hotel
It's a half-bad thought and I'm not so well
Well, it's not just like you're kind of on my mind, oh-ohh (oh-ohh)
Well, I'm all lit up in a lonely town
Would you still pick up if I call right now?
Well, it's not just like you're kind of on my mind
Oh-ohh, I think about you all the time

Yeah, I like the thought of you thinking of me
(Yeah) oh-ohh-oh-ohh-oh, ohh-oh
Yeah, I like the thought of you thinking of me
Yeah, I like the thought of you thinking of me
In Chicago rain when we walked the streets
And the skyline looked like a movie scene
You're the only thing that's always on my mind
I think about you all the time

I don't need a plan if I've got your hand
(I don't need a plan if I've got your hand)
Is there like a certain way you want me to say it?

thoughts i have while lying in bed

We were talkin' without words and turnin' red
All tangled up in knots
And I got lost in the thoughts that I had
While I'm lyin' in this bed
And I don't wanna leave
You look so lovely runnin' through my head
I know I came undone a bit
My tongue, it went numb
And I choked when I should've spoke instead
I tell myself

Believe me, you're not in love
Been lookin' for a reason but there isn't one
Go easy, it's like a drug
Oh, I'm high off your love

Starin' at the ceiling and I'm burnin' up
Lookin' for a reason you ain't good enough
Now I'm in a feelin' and it's like a drug
Oh, I'm high off your love
Starin' at the ceiling and I'm givin' up
You're the missing pieces I've been dreamin' of
Now I'm in a feelin' and it's like a drug
Oh, I'm high off your love

I won't trip out on the past because it's gone
It's just that this is new and yeah, it's true
Only knew 'I love you's when I heard 'em in a song
I tell myself

Believe me, you're not in love
Been lookin' for a reason but there isn't one
Go easy, it's like a drug
Oh, I'm high off your love

Starin' at the ceiling and I'm burnin' up
Lookin' for a reason you ain't good enough
Now I'm in a feelin' and it's like a drug
Oh, I'm high off your love
Starin' at the ceiling and I'm givin' up
You're the missing pieces I've been dreamin' of
Now I'm in a feelin' and it's like a drug (like a drug)
Oh, I'm high off your love

Believe me, you're not in love
Been lookin' for a reason but there isn't one
Go easy, it's like a drug
Oh, I'm high off your love

Starin' at the ceiling and I'm burnin' up
I'm lookin' for a reason you ain't good enough
Now I'm in a feelin' and it's like a drug (like a drug, like a drug)
Oh, I'm high off your love
Starin' at the ceiling and I'm givin' up (I'm givin' up)
You're the missing pieces I've been dreamin' of
Now I'm in a feelin' and it's like a drug (it's like a drug)
Oh, I'm high off your love
Oh, I'm high off your love

funny how?

At seventeen I couldn't dream of something like this
Oh, what a sweet trip
I was just a kid myself
And then hours turned to days
Five years is a flash
Let's make it count 'cause we cannot make it last and
I want you and no one else

Oh, ain't it funny how
I never needed you 'til now
Ain't it funny how
You made it easier somehow
Ain't it funny how
I didn't know before you, I was bleeding
I can breathe again
All my walls have fallen down
Ain't it funny how?
Oh, ain't it funny how?

At seventeen I couldn't dream of something like this
Oh, what a feeling
Yeah, it's one I've never felt
Even after I'm gone I'll be with you
On your birthdays and your worst days
And all the in-betweens
Believe me now

Oh, ain't it funny how
I never needed you 'til now
Ain't it funny how
You made it easier somehow
Ain't it funny how
I didn't know before you, I was bleeding
I can breathe again
All my walls have fallen down
Ain't it funny how?

How it all feels like fate
How it falls into place
Now the moment's we have
Are the best that I've ever
I don't know where they all go, but
Here's my heart, now hold it close
'Cause you are the one that brought me here somehow

Oh, ain't it funny how
I never needed you 'til now
Ain't it funny how
You made it easier somehow
Ain't it funny how
I didn't know before you, I was bleeding
I can breathe again
All my walls have fallen down
Ain't it funny how?
Ain't it funny how?
Oh, ain't it funny how?

cars & caution signs

This song will be our escape soundtrack
Let's drive to nowhere
And fade to black
I know that I don't have a plan
But I've got your hand
Just under a gram and some dots on maps
Forget the future
Forget the past

I missed the exit
I went too fast
So send a postcard and I'll relax
And sign it
"Johnny you're alive
Baby, you and I will be alright"
But we can't look back
So ignore the future
And forget the past

'Cause we're only passing cars and caution signs
As you slowly crash your heart inside of mine
And we collide

"Don't pull over 'til we get back
To California," you say and laugh
You pretend you're cryin' in the car with your water on
Like you were in high school skipping class
Yeah, the future
And forget the past

'Cause we're only passing cars and caution signs
As you slowly crash your heart inside of mine
And we collide

Are we there yet?
Are we there, are we there yet?
Are we there, are we there, are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there, are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there, tell me, are we there?
Are we there yet?
Are we there, are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there, tell me, are we there?
Are we there yet?
Are we there, are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there, tell me, are we there?
Are we there yet?
Are we there, are we there yet?
Are we there yet?
Are we there, tell me are we there?

spiraling

Another drink, inhale some things
Can't sober up, I'm spiraling
Around the room when I think about you
Open the blinds, it's summertime
Up in my mind I feel so fine
I'm in the clouds when I think about you

I'm all f*cked up on you
Try to play it cool
There's nothing I can do now
I'm all f*cked up on you
All f*cked up on you
I try to play it cool
There's nothing I can do now
I'm all f*cked up on you
All the way up

Another drink, inhale some things
Can't sober up, I'm spiraling
Around the room when I think about you
Open the blinds, it's summertime
Up in my mind I feel so high
I'm in the clouds when I think about you

I'm all f*cked up on you
Try to play it cool
There's nothing I can do now
I'm all f*cked up on you
I'm all f*cked up on you
I try to play it cool
There's nothing I can do now
I'm all f*cked up on you (on you, on you, on you)

Another drink, inhale some things
When I think about you
When I think about you
(You leave the room, I'm spiraling)
When I think about you
When I think about you
(Spiraling, I'm spiraling)
(Spiraling)

I'm all f*cked up on you (woo)
Try to play it cool
There's nothing I can do now
I'm all f*cked up on you
I'm all f*cked up on you
I try to play it cool (when I think about you)
There's nothing I can do now
I'm all f*cked up on you (when I think about you)
Hey (when I think about you)

Another drink, inhale some things
When I think about you
When I think about you
You leave the room, I'm spiraling
When I think about you
When I think about you
Spiraling, I'm spiraling
Spiraling
Spiraling, I'm spiraling
Spiraling
