Alright
You'll try, to break it lightly
You'll find it's just too hard
Your eyes are closed too tightly
To get to far
She'll cry, but only slightly
She'll find its just her heart
She'll read your letters nightly
And fall apart
It's alright
It's alright
It's gotta be, right?
It's alright
You'll see to your ambitions
You're free to love at will
You doubt you'll even miss him
Even still
He'll go with this decision
He's free, he's off the bill
He'll die from this transition
The change can kill
It's alright
It's alright
It's gotta be, right?
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's gotta be, right?
It's alright
Back
Home
I'm just to worried, to think about it
I'm just too tired to step around it
She walks around, her defenses down,
Who are you? Who are you
It's just too early, for her to see it
The bridge she's burning with her secrets
She walks around her defense is now
Her shadow
I need to know, where you go
I need to know, where you go
She names a time, but not a place
Half a mind, other halfs erased
She's comin down and no ones around
What happened? What happened
Its not a crime, look at that face
She'll do no wrong just convince me that
She's comin down and no ones around
What happened?
I need to know, where you go
I need to know, where you go
Did we hate you? Is this fake too? Where do you call home?
Did we break you? Give or take, you face this world alone
Did we hate you? Is this fake too? Where do you call home?
Did we break you? Give or take, you face this world alone
I need to know, where you go
I need to know, where you go
Back
Fight
This is the last I'll nevermind
I'll never last forever, I'm
Admired I'm wired I'm fired up
I'm burried, carried by a love
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh, ya know, I don't feel it anymore
Oh, ya know you never have
Oh, ya know, it's not something I'd fight for
Oh, ya know you shouldn't have
This one will keep you in your seat
I'll save the sense of urgency
Fires from liars are why we're here
We're stranded, branded by that fear
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh, ya know, I don't feel it anymore
Oh, ya know you never have
Oh, ya know, it's not something I'd fight for
Oh, ya know you shouldn't have
And when there's nothing left that's real,
I wonder what is there to steal?
Is there any punishment
And once the devils made his deal,
I wonder what is there to feel
Of your accomplishments?
Oh, ya know, I don't feel it anymore
Oh, ya know you never have
Oh, ya know, it's not something I'd fight for
Oh, ya know you shouldn't have
Oh oh oh oh ohhh
Oh oh oh oh ohhh

Let Me Win
They say you can do anything you put your mind to,
So I put my mind to you
I hope you don't mind
And hey, what do you say to someone who's heard everything?
Can you say anything
And have it sound true?
You reeled me in, and you snapped me out of it
You let me win, now I owe you all of it
You let me win, you let me win
I let you in, and you let me win
Someday, I'll see everything I didn't have time to do
But I'll have made the time for you
Do you have the time?
And lets say that if this works out, we meet up again
And again and again
God where have you been?
You reeled me in, and you snapped me out of it
You let me win, now I owe you all of it
You let me win, you let me win
I let you in, and you let me win
You're my direction, oh and you're my horizon
You're my reflection, the one I have eyes on
You're my perfection
You're my decision, I'm set on you
You let me win, you let me win
I let you in, and you let me win
Back
Lights & Chrome
It's been too long, to try to start again
I gave up all my sticks and stones,
I don't need them anymore, go on home
But you think I'm wrong, it's not too late to start again
Forget about the lights and chrome,
I don't need them anymore, you say you are home
But you can't get silence, from a storm
You can't get wind, to keep you warm
You can't go blind, if you can't see
So don't expect no love from me
Is it so hard, to leave this one alone?
There's nothing underneath to find,
I'm not as deep as you might like, make up your mind
And just disregard, the one who leaves alone
See you're too beautiful and kind,
Just the kind that I might like, make up my mind
You can't get silence, from a storm
You can't get wind, to keep you warm
You can't go blind, if you can't see
So don't expect no love from me
Prove me wrong, come on prove me wrong
Prove me wrong, come on prove me wrong
You can't get silence, from a storm
You can't get wind, to keep you warm
You can't go blind, if you can't see
So don't expect no love from me
Don't expect no love from me
Back
Let's Go For It
It isn't you, it isn't me
A flash of blue, a sea of green
Tell me how'd we wind up here?
It isn't true, it doesn't seem
But I can't move, and you can't leave
I wonder how'd we wind up here?
Let's go for it, let down your hair
Let's go for it, get back to where we belong
Let's go for it
Did we miss anything?
And is all this worth saving?
I don't want to waste our time
We've seen bliss and it's nothing
Another twist on apathy
I don't want to waste your time
Let's go for it, let down your hair
Let's go for it, get back to where we belong
Let's go for it
No turning back from here
No turning back from here
No turning back from here
No turning back from here
Let's go for it, let down your hair
Let's go for it, get back to where we belong
Let's go for it
Back
What It Seems
Let the spotlight blind your eyes, stop seeing
And start being someone new
Let the hands over your ears, stop hearing
I'll start clearing you a seat
See I never meant to be, their casualty
And I never thought they'd see, too much in me
And now I don't know how to tell you, all's not what it seems
It's not what it seems
Let the cold stares numb your skin, stop feeling
And start dealing with the loss
Now try to read their minds, its so appealing
Now you're stealing all their hearts
See I never meant to be, their casualty
And I never thought they'd see, too much in me
And now I don't know how to tell you, all's not what it seems
It's not what it seems
Lights out, stand up
Shake it off, shake it off
Nights out, sure enough
I'm takin off, I'm takin off
I never meant to be, their casualty
And I never thought they'd see, too much in me
And now I don't know how to tell you, all's not what it seems
It's not what it seems
Back
Throw It Away
I fought my way back to you
I took it all in and then,
I let it all out without thinkin about the cost,
I lost more than I bargained for
But I fought my way back to you
I can't turn my back to you,
And feel like I've grown at all
Do you like that I've blown it, shown that I don't know
the way to say the things that I know I should?
I can't turn my back to you
Do you think we could go back,
And try this again my friend?
Go back, and rewrite the end?
Go back, let's try this again my friend
Go back with me
Please go back with me
I can't give it back to you,
I couldn't hang onto it
Time just flies by but I swear that I tried to slow it so that
We could get back on track
But I can't give it back to you
I won't take it back from you
I think you should keep it there
Reminding you that the fact's that I dont lack the heart to start
This thing all over again
So I won't take it back from you
Do you think we could go back,
And try this again my friend?
Go back, and rewrite the end?
Go back, let's try this again my friend
Go back with me
Please go back with me
I didn't come this far,
I didnt come this far to,
Throw it away
Do you think we could go back,
And try this again my friend?
Go back, and rewrite the end?
Go back, let's try this again my friend
Go back with me
Please go back with me
Back
Us
You said that you wanted to visit the city
You missed your life there and I said hey, then we should
And you said that you hoped we'd make it to the coast once,
Before summer was over and I said hey, then we should
And I smiled while I wondered, what might happen with us
And the best was yet to come
The makings of a love
Two hearts marched as one, two hearts
And the best was yet to come
You said that you wanted to teach someday,
Make a better future and I said hey, then you should
And you said that you loved turning your music way up,
And screaming your heart out and I said hey, then you should
And I smiled while I wondered what might happen with us
And the best was yet to come
The makings of a love
Two hearts marched as one, two hearts
And the best was yet to come
You said that your feelings were fleeting, its over
Goodbye
You said that you had to go, its just not fair, to keep me hanging on
I said hey, maybe you should
And I smiled while I cried
What happened to us? What happened to us?
What happened to us? What happened to us?
What happened to us? What happened to us?
What happened to us? What happened to us?

Better Now
There's no such thing as growing up,
We're all just kids with bigger voices
Driving cars and making choices
And thanks so much for showing up,
Would you have come here on your own?
I know you hate to be alone
Come around, it's better now
Settle down, it's better now
I hold my breath for you, let's see how long I have
I take this chance for you, let's see how wrong I am
Let's see how wrong I am
I'll turn it up to tune you out,
I'll sing it loud and true and wait
Just long enough to make me late
Keep me on my toes throughout,
Make a fist and dry your eyes
One last attempt, another try
I hold my breath for you, let's see how long I have
I take this chance for you, let's see how wrong I am
Let's see how wrong I am
Better now, than before
Better now, don't ask again
Better now, and we swore
Better now, won't ask again
I hold my breath for you, let's see how long I have
I take this chance for you, let's see how wrong I am
Let's see how wrong I am
I hold my breath for you, let's see how long I have
I take this chance for you, let's see how wrong I am
Let's see how wrong I am
Let's see how long I have
Back
Til I'm Old
I don't like this any more than you, but the winds have changed
Blowing home again, this has got to end
I'm going home again
What I didn't know was the end of me, so much for what they say
Taking half a year, I wound up here
Wasting half a year
It just goes to show,
I won't know til I'm old
It just goes to show
I won't know til I'm old
The magic is gone once the mirrors disappear, I can't see myself
Nothing's making sense, everything's past tense
I miss making sense
Now you don't like this anymore, so I'll pack what you should bring
Did you stop to think, what's the next best thing?
Could you stop and think?
It just goes to show,
I won't know til I'm old
It just goes to show
I won't know til I'm old
Oh ohohoh Oh ohohoh Oh ohohoh
It just goes to show,
I won't know til I'm old
It just goes to show
I won't know til I'm old
Til I'm old
