First single off upcoming EP 'When the Sad Songs Make You Happy'

lyrics

Give

It feels like I'm dying and the weight is killing me and bringing me down
I'm running out of time to figure out and make everything alright
I wish that you had known when I was lying there hurtin' so,
My heart racing, my head blown up and away
I wish that I had known then the simple things
I've no time left to own

The best that I can do is live
It's all that I have left to give
It's yours for the taking, life and love for making
Everything we have is ours to give

Now it's all blurred and burned up, I'm struggling to let the light inside
But where do I go from here and not forget the ones I love the most
This feels like it's sayin' something awful about the man I've come to be
As being is no longer enough
and if I'm near the end, it's just as easy to be lost as to be found

Feels like I’m dyin' from memories and times gone by
I’ve barely a melody left to hum with worn down wishes to spare
And mountains of days spent lying in despair, thinking about learning to fly
Searching for air broken on the ground that I cannot seem to bare

Think on my loved ones and the things that I've done to myself
and the beauty that's left at home I'm tired and I'm wasting days away
I want those better days that were above my crooked ways
And the message is all that's left to fear
Hope is a great grand thing and love is all I have to give

The best that I can do is live
It's all that I have left to give
It's yours for the taking, life and love for making
Everything we have is ours to give

I think I'll do my best to live
I think I'll do my best to live
