Acorn Reflections - Ann Ben Trio

How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones Been puttin' on a show for everybody but me I've been comin' home alone Dyin' fast and livin' low At least that's how it feels when I can't sleep I don't think that I can do this anymore Lyin' awake another night here on the bathroom floor This isn't what I wanted, or is it everythin' I just wanna make sense of it all Can't swim when I'm sinkin' How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones? Been puttin' on a show for everybody but me I've been comin' home alone Dyin' fast and livin' low At least that's how it feels when I can't sleep Shapeshiftin' Shakin' hands with everythin' that's hauntin' me How can I stand when I don't trust my own two feet Yeah, this isn't what I wanted or is it everythin' I just need to make sense of it all How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones? Been puttin' on a show for everybody but me I've been comin' home alone Dyin' fast and livin' low At least that's how it feels when I can't sleep If I fade away Will they miss me? They call my name But it's too late Am I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones? Been puttin' on a show Shapeshiftin' Shapeshiftin' Shapeshiftin' I feel nothin' in my bones Shapeshiftin' Can't swim when I'm sinkin' How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones? Been puttin' on a show for everybody but me I've been comin' home alone Dyin' fast and livin' low At least that's how it feels when I can't sleep If I fade away Will they miss me? They call my name But it's too late How was I supposed to know I'd feel nothin' in my bones Been puttin' on a show Shapeshiftin' Shapeshiftin'

Long ago Just like the hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you Burning on Just like the match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like a blade you'll stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Came a time When every star fall Brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take From every heart you break And like a blade you stain Well I've been holding on tonight What's the worst that I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Well if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight Can you hear me Are you near me Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide What's the worst I can say Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

Reflections of you, reflections of me I can't look it's the most beautiful thing That you've ever seen That you've ever heard of The ripples disperse us anyway So ask me again And go tell your friends About all of the things you said about me Well maybe if we're talking metaphorically The words round your head the ones that you thought Maybe it's just best not to say them at all Reflections of you, reflections of me I can't look it's the most beautiful thing That you've ever seen That you've ever heard of The ripples disperse us anyway It's time to pretend And talk to your friends About all of the things you've done without me Well maybe if we're speaking rhetorically The words round your head the ones that you thought I'm not your friend so don't tell me anymore

Sometimes I think about the old days I don't know where they went 'Cause these days when I look in the mirror Don't really know who I am Thought maybe I would have a family or a house by now Twenty eight, I never thought I'd be the one who let me down But I miss my mom, miss my old friends I'm missing everything I always thought I wouldn't, man I miss the way I'd drive through my old town And think about how life would be better if I just got out I miss the hope that I used to have And if I could I would give anything to get it back I fell so far and I don't know how But I think I miss it, God I miss it, oh I miss it, really miss it now Most nights I lie awake in bed to the light of a silent TV And even if I said how hard life was right now I don't think anyone would believe me You move to the city to write songs You must be living the dream I guess what they say is true that nothing really is what it seems 'Cause I miss my mom, miss my old friends I'm missing everything I always thought I wouldn't, man I miss the way I'd drive through my old town And think about how life would be better if I just got out I miss the hope that I used to have And if I could I would give anything to get it back I fell so far and I don't know how But I think I miss it, God I miss it, oh I miss it, really miss it now And everything has changed Yet everyday's the same And I'm wondering how I got here Another breakdown, just another year And if I knew back then what I do now Maybe it would all be different But I'm thinking that I miss it Yeah I miss it I miss my mom Miss my old friends I'm missing everything Yeah, I'm missing everything

In the car, I just can't wait To pick you up on our very first date Is it cool if I hold your hand? Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance? Do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear? I'm too scared of what you think You make me nervous, so I really can't eat Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever When you smile, I melt inside I'm not worthy of a minute of your time I really wish it was only me and you I'm jealous of everybody in the room Please don't look at me with those eyes! Please don't hint that you're capable of lies I dread the thought of our very first kiss A target that I'm probably gonna miss Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over Honest, let's make this night last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever Forever and ever, let's make this last forever
