Timeline

Two years ago I was sitting on a tiny blue couch
In the basement apartment of a college town
The tears rolled out as I started to break down
Cause I was lost and I was scared
I was graduating school and for the first time in my life
I felt so unprepared
With no idea what direction I was heading to

And I was trying I was trying not to lose my mind
Do do do do
Yea I was trying I was trying not to lose my mind
Do do do do

One year ago I was sitting on the edge of the bed
At my sister's house in Edison
I pulled the needle out as I started to break down
Cause I was hurt and I was scared
I tried to make it on my own
And I found out that I was just so ill prepared
And that was how I learned
That in order to be fixed
I had to be broken first

And I was trying I was trying not to lose my mind
Do do do do
Yea I was trying I was trying to stop getting high
Do do do do

Four months ago I met a girl with pretty brown eyes
She looked at me and she said
I want you for mine
It made me happier than I'd been
Well in a long time
And when I found her I was scared
Love never seems to come when I'm prepared
And I want to write her a song
But everytime I try
The words, they never seem to come out right

And I'm just trying I'm just trying not to lose my mind
Do do do do
But she makes me yea she makes me lose my god damn mind
Do do do do
