coachshipley Re PEAR not Recycle is beyond description in the depth of feelings it pulls from me on every play. Never will I not request this one on Twitch. Favorite track: Repair Don't Replace.

Maybe I'm The Problem? 03:16

I wish i didn’t have to move away from The place we built a home cause I just loved what we had Used to always let you decorate cause You said it brought you joy but Now the walls are plain and sad I’m sorry I didn’t say it sooner I’m so fucked up in my head now Maybe I’m the problem? If only that’s the reason Maybe if I changed the way I am? Then would you still love me? Maybe we’d be happy? If only I could go back to that day It was only yesterday It was only yesterday Only A year ago I planned a trip Your family thought it would be it I would put a ring on your hand I always knew you were the one Waited too long and now you’re gone I’ll never forgive myself for the way I said some things to you I’d never say I’m sorry if I hurt you that way I’m so sorry if I hurt you today But maybe I’m the problem? If only that’s the reason Maybe if I changed the way I am? Then would you still love me? Maybe we’d be happy? If only I could go back to that day It was only yesterday It was only yesterday Oh it was only yesterday Oh It was only yesterday Mmmm

Repair Don't Replace 04:31

Like a bone that needed to be reset Gotta break it to fix it instead Who knew that the way we healed Was unhealthy? Like rose colored glasses and thorns My view of us tainted by “love”? You’re under my skin I need you to get out I changed who I am Just to fit what you wanted Almost gave up my dreams Oh our house is too haunted Repair don’t replace Oh is all I could say & my hearts like the bones Resetting the stones of our mile Repair don’t replace I wish I didn’t say it I understand now you were Sitting on this for a while Are you happy now that he’s in your life? Does he give you everything that you like? I wish this was a dream, I just want to wake up I hate how I changed who I am Just to fit what you wanted I saw you in my dreams All my songs are too haunted now Repair don’t replace Oh is all I could say My hearts like the bones Resetting the stones of our mile Repair don’t replace I wish I didn’t say I understand now you were Sitting on this for a while Oh just let me go Don’t string me along I’m committed to us I can’t stop writing songs I’ll brace for the break Though it hurt all along I never stopped trying But you just moved along & I need time to heal But I’m scared to be alone My thoughts are too loud Could you just call my phone? Why am I the only one Who wants to fix what we have? Repair don’t replace Oh this world moves too fast for me Repair don’t replace Is all I could say My heart's like the bones Resetting the stones of our mile Repair don’t replace I wish I didn’t say it I understand now You were sitting on this for a while I understand now That you gave up on us and our mile I understand now It’s just gonna be me for a while

All my favorite memories And now you're all of my worst ones Used to want a family but you won’t even rehearse now You said you wanted bigger things But you won’t do the work & I’m certain that you’re hurting But You missed out on the life I’m living Your pissed off cuz I’m out here gigging I ripped up all the notes I’d written You think you know what you want? But you don't One month & I’m out here grinning You want space oh thats so fitting Well here’s all of the fucks I’m giving You think you know what you want But you don't No you don’t no no No you don’t no no No you don’t no You think you know what you want but you Took all of our animals And made me leave our home (yeah) Left me with the couch and bed But all I wanted was your love…. Seat You think you’re free but you’ll miss me Yeah you know that I’m the one & I’m certain (oh I'm so certain) That you’re hurting (oh that you're hurting baby uh) But You missed out on the life I’m living Your pissed off cuz I’m out here gigging I ripped up all the notes I’d written You think you know what you want? But you don't One month & I’m out here grinning You want space oh thats so fitting Well here’s all of the fucks I’m giving You think you know what you want But you don't No you don’t no no No you don’t no no No you don’t no You think you know what you want but you I said some shit I'd never say But you’re the reason I’m this way (reason I'm this way) It could be easy if we stayed (mmm) But I’m so certain (I'm so certain) That you’re hurtin' (That you're hurting) And this is curtains baby (I think she needs a bandaid) (and scene) You missed out on the life I’m living Your pissed off cuz I’m out here gigging I ripped up all the notes I’d written You think you know what you want? But you don't One month & I’m out here grinning (out here grinning) You want space oh thats so fitting (that's so fitting) Well here’s all of the fucks I’m giving You think you know what you want But you don't No you don’t no no No you don’t no no No you don’t no You think you know what you want but you don't No you don’t no no No you don’t no no (you don't know baby) No you don’t no You think you know what you want but you don't

Crossroads 03:51
lyrics

Your family said you messed up this time Wasted 7 years of our God damn life Do you really think that you could be his wife? I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness behind You’ll see his shows but you won’t see mine I had to beg you all the time Someday soon I’m gonna be just fine I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness behind Maybe it’s better off this way? I used to think I’d wanna stay There's nothing left that I can say When you let it out that day Did you have to say his name? Did you have to say his name? Did you have to say his name? Did you have to say his name? Oh did you have to say his name? Oh did you have to say his name? Oh Oh did you have to say his name? Oh Oh did you have to say his name? Oh Oh did you have to say it? Did you have to say his name? It’s not easy to let you go It feels weird to be in our bed alone & I know this time will let you grow But me — I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness, behind

5 Years 03:59
lyrics

If I could see 5 years from today Would I still see your face? Caught up living in a ‘What if'? When all I wanted was a way To try and fix our situation All the problems that we had But there were cracks in the foundation Doctor said it’s looking bad If I could rewind Back to our place Filled with all our memories I would see the signs Written on your face These 5 years wouldn’t mean a thing Wouldn't mean a thing I still see the bags there in the hall And then you walking out the door You’re leaving me to change your life And left me crying on the floor Did you even care at all To see who we might become? All the petals fallen to the ground Two flowers withered in the sun If I could rewind Back to our place Filled with all our memories I would see the signs Written on your face These 5 years wouldn’t mean a thing I didn’t choose to be alone No you didn’t give that choice to me, oh Will I regret the one I Ioved? Mmm These five years you gave to me If I could rewind Back to our place Filled with all our memories I would see the signs Written on your face These 5 years wouldn’t mean a thing If I could rewind Back to our place Filled with all our memories I would see the signs Written on your face These 5 years wouldn’t mean a thing No they wouldn't mean a thing Oh Oh No If I could see 5 years from today Would I still see your face?

Lovely Little Moments 04:11
lyrics

She collected old jars just to put in sea shells Had trinkets for yards & if you couldn’t tell She lived in her head, memories helped her sleep Always had disney movies on repeat No comfort in silence, always filled the void Beatles on vinyl just to hear the noise I never realized the pain I'd put her through Packed up and left with a dream to pursue But oh lovely little moments how they go Oh lovely little moments how they go How they go The way that you loved me, it just wasn’t fair We kissed in the rain and we danced on your stairs What I would give to go back to that place A boy and a girl, two lovers embrace I always thought I gave my best to you But we both know I let this dream consume The vision of family, what it means to you I wish I collected sea shells or lassoed the moon But oh lovely little moments how they go Oh lovely little moments how they go I will never forget how you loved me And I’m sorry for All the pain that I caused to your heart I see it now You just wanted somebody to see you And love you for All the lovely things you do That you do But oh lovely little moments how they go Oh lovely little moments how they go Oh lovely little moments how they go Oh lovely little moments how they go You were so lovely You were so lovely You were so lovely

Puttin' Up A Fight 03:10
lyrics

In another cafe in the rain on the boulevard I can’t help but still see your face Still salty bout the unread text from the month before I can’t help but feel like I’ve been replaced Oh does he text you good mornin? Does he text you good night? Do you show him your outfits? Does he think that it’s tight? Does he buy you a coffee? Does he take you for drinks? Are you blinded by lust? Or do you care what he thinks? But I’m back to the seat I’ve been sitting in The new barista winks and I’m listenin' She said I can tell that you’re sad I can see it in your eyes Yeah you're sitting there coffee cold, staring at the sky I won’t ask what’s wrong, Cuz I don’t know what’s right Oh life’s too short so keep putting up a fight like I’m gonna be alright I keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be just fine Keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be alright I keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be just fine Suns up now I’m walking these streets Things are looking up Finally got a smile on my face Headed downtown I need to get a drink to celebrate Oh that’s when I see her look my way Oh could I text her good morning? Would she text me good night? Maybe take her for coffee? Learn the places she likes Show her off to my parents Wait I’m getting to ahead Are these thoughts all intrusive? I’d really like her in my bed like I’m gonna be alright I keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be just fine Keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be alright I keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be just fine Hey, uh I guess this is moving on I can see the light The bitterness is gone And love is on my mind This is moving on I can see the light The bitterness is gone Love is, love is on my mind Love is on my mind (Love is on my mind) She said I’d text you good mornin Said I'd text you goodnight Trade you a coffee tomorrow for a drink tonight You’re looking better already Had a feeling you might I’m really glad that you made it So let’s have a good time like I’m gonna be alright I keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be just fine Keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be alright I keep puttin' up a fight like I’m gonna be just fine I keep puttin' up a fight 1 2 1 2
