i’m a liar at the best times the best parts hiding in the covers we don’t speak to one another at all a little louder and i’ll get myself in trouble we don’t speak to one another we don’t listen because we’ve heard it before i’m getting older but i still have something to say a little nervous but i’d rather be than wear a false face so go along with all your friends i’ll be smiling, you’ll be there i’m still here and i’m still singing

a haiku 02:08
you go, i hate i feel it because i never said that i’d ever let you keep me up at night (and you know that you did) you call and i'll drop everything, as if you’d never left …and i was always what you need i lie all the time but it's alright… i'd never lie to you fast asleep, you're okay (i'm wide awake) lying i'm lying with all that i need
3.
throwing myself in like i always do you'll leave and i'll be fine like i always say i am always was such a sucker for a girl with confidence wearing my heart on my sleeve for everyone to see ... and you know that i'm about. i made it so obvious and i hate it. you're so cool.
4.
i'm making a mess till i'm without you so all i'll know is; i'm better alone we sang a different song and thought we'd never mean it... we thought we'd never need at all (are you scared you were wrong) we lay like liars to an old conversation but we don't have a reason to say it we lay like liars and we don't have the patience (but we'll wait) ...oh we'll make it
5.
it's like i always find a reason/ it gets inside my head i've been here for a few times/ i'm getting worse instead i guess life's a funny feeling/ with all we don't expect i keep waiting for so long it's so long to keep in my head i'll stay silent, is that what you want to hear? you know nothing and i wont tell you that keeping quiet, i'll still stay awake i'll still stay awake i don't really want to be alone but for now its all i know in time i'll learn to grow, in time i'll learn to let it go everything happens for a cause, everyone learns to cope with loss everything takes so long, everyone seems to make it home
6.
is there something about the attention? i never once was the jealous type or one who loses sleep at night over the idea of another boy deep in your sheets but sweetie you've made it hard for me (you were always hanging onto it/him) take back your lips off my neck, my heart in your hands go and talk about me to all your friends and tell them of how awful i can get cut me out after i let you in
7.
proud 00:49
she says it all with a firm blank stare but she has to ... i don't understand but i'll let you i've been here before and i let myself know there's that reason i lie all the time i let it out like i'm so proud so everybody knows when it all falls apart when i do lose (like i'm used to) ... you'd love to well... there's no use
8.
i've been awake for 30 hours i'm sitting down, considered writing it out taped to my foot before i kick the chair out but i need to stay around and see that your work is carried out (because although i let you die that day) i still can't let you fade away i fell in love with a girl named faith... or was it hope? or maybe grace? she sure had a pretty face but her intention led me astray i'll never forgive what took her away want nothing more than to see her face and let her grace this earth and change this place for all it's worth
9.
how the hell was i supposed to think that all we ever needed was to set us apart from the rest how the hell was i supposed to think it was all we ever needed i got to stop writing but i can't stop writing it's you that has me tongue tied and i'm better because i was confused (i have to stop but i cannot stop writing) it's you that i've been after and i've got it but i'm still so confused i'll still sing the songs because we all want to dance but the truth... is i'm better than i'll tell you... better than i'll let you know i'm writing all these songs and it seems like i can't let you go
10.
writing all these songs; you're all i ever write about (and i don't want to keep writing them)
11.
i slept so well in your sheets i could lie here all the time/ i could lie here all night just like you, i needed something to hold onto i'm as strong as you'd like to think i am i sleep the coldest in another bed "no i'm fine, yeah its like this all the time" i can't keep you, you go and again i'll lie ... you left me here all alone

about

Jacob is the highly anticipated debut album from Jacob.

Jacob takes all of the band's moving parts – its use of multiple vocalists, a versatile approach to genre and an ear for well-timed shifts in dynamic – and sees their potential realised at their highest level yet. “You're Not That Cool” and “Girls in White Dresses” are both exemplary of their sharp, succinct and hook-heavy approach. Elsewhere, Jacob builds from quiet introspection to up-front honesty on “Just Like You,” while acoustic detours such as “You're So Cool” and “Proud” allow for exploration of a wider musical spectrum while simultaneously refusing to compromise on their fever-pitch energy levels.
