Adore

I don't mean to run
But Everytime You come Around
I Feel more alive, than ever
And I guess it's too much
Maybe we're too young
And I don't even know whats real
But I Know I've never..

Wanted anything so bad
I've never wanted anyone so bad

If I let you love me
Be the one adored
Would you go all the way
Be the one I'm looking for
If i let you love me (If i Say)
Be the one adored (Its O.k)
Would you go all the way (You can Stay)
Be the One I'm looking for

Help me come back down
From high above the clouds
You know im suffocating, But i blame this town
Why do I deny
The things that burn inside,
Down deep I'm barley breathing
But you just see a smile

And I don't wanna let this go
Really i just want to know

If I let you love me
Be the one adored
Would you go all the way
Be the one I'm looking for
If i let you love me (If i Say)
Be the one adored (Its O.k)
Would you go all the way (You can Stay)
Be the One I'm looking for

If I let you love me
Be the one adored
Would you go all the way
Be the one I'm looking for (x2)

If i let you love me (If i Say)
See the one adored (Its O.k)
Would you go all the way (You can Stay)
Be the One I'm looking for

All I Wanted

Think of me when you’re out, when you’re out there
I’ll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well it’s a shame i'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I’ll pace my apartment a few times and fall asleep on the couch
Wake up early to black and white re-runs
That escape from my mouth

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
Just to re-live the start
Maybe then we’ll remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

All We Know

We've tried so hard to understand, but we can't.
We held the world out in our hands and you ran away.

It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember how, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

Now we can follow you back home but we won't.
Is this what you had waited for? Just to be alone?

It takes some time to let you go and it shows.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember how, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

You never, you never said
This wasn't what you wanted, was it? Was it?

This isn't what you wanted.
This isn't what you wanted.

Cause all we know is falling, it falls.
Remember how, cause I know that we won't forget at all.

Another Day

And if you're listening, I miss you.
And if you hear me now, I need you.
Where did you go, 'cause you're not gone.
Everyone knows there's something's wrong.
The wires are cut, and I'm alone

I know we're getting closer.
I know you're coming back for me this time.
This time.

And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
It's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye
But it's okay, there's always another day.

Your voice comes in and now it's fading.
I can't believe this is so frustrating.
'Cause you never seem to understand
And you let me slip straight through your hands
How does it feel to be alone?

I know we're getting closer.
I know you're coming back for me this time.
This time.

And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye.
But it's okay, there's always another day.

If you ever find what you were looking for.
I will be waiting there.
I will be there.

And do you ever want me, do you ever need me?
I know that you left before goodbye.
And it's okay, there's always another day.
And anytime you want me, anytime you see me
I don't think you meant to say goodbye.
But it's okay, there's always another day.

Born For This

Oh no I just keep on falling
(Back to the same old…)
Where’s hope when misery comes crawling?
(on my way-ay)
With your faith you’ll trigger a landslide
(victory)
To kill off this common sense of mine

It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can’t down it with your eyes
So we don’t need the headlines
We don’t need the headlines
We just want…

(We want the airways back, we want the airways back)

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?

Right now you’re the only reason
(I’m not letting go, oh…)
and im out if everyone’s worth pleasing
(wa ah)
You’ll trigger a landslide
(Victory)
to kill off their finite state of mind

It takes acquired minds to taste, to taste, to taste this wine
You can’t down it with your eyes
So we don’t need the headlines
No, we don’t want your headlines
We just want…

(We want the airways back, we want the airways)

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, do you feel the pressure?

Alright, so you think you’re ready?
Ok, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for this
(We were born for this)
Alright, so you think you’re ready?
OK, then you say this with me
Go!
We were born for this
(We were born for this)
We were born for this
(We were born for this)

We were born for
We were born for

Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Everybody live like it’s the last day you will ever see
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure now?
Everybody sing like it’s the last song you will ever sing
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?
Tell me, tell me, can you feel the pressure?

We were born for this
We were born for this
We were born for this

Breathe

I climb, I slip, I fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood

If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love
And I, I will

Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way

I climb, I slip, I fall
Reaching for your hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood

If I could find out how
To make you listen now
Because I'm starving for you here
With my undying love
And I, I will

Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way

Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause there's no hope for today
Breathe for love tomorrow
Cause maybe there's another way

I climb, I slip, I fall
Into your empty hands
But I lay here all alone
Sweating all your blood

Brick By Boring Brick

She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies

Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle x2
Ba da ba da ba

So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
or the wolves gonna blow it down

Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle x2

woah woah

Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel
We'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle x2
Ba da ba da ba...

Brighter

So this is how it goes
Well I, I would have never known
And if it ends today
Well, I'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

Well this is not your fault
But if I'm without you
Then I will feel so small
And if you have to go
Always know that you shine brighter than anyone does.

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

If you run away now,
Will you come back around?
And if you ran away,
I'd still wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright.

Now I think we're taking this too far
Don't you know that it's not this hard?
Well it's not this hard
But if you take what's yours and I take mine
Must we go there?
Please not this time. No, not this time.

And I'll wave goodbye
Watching you shine bright
(You shine bright, you shine bright)
And I'll wave goodbye tonight.

Careful

I settle down
A twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile well
You would have never known
I had it all but not what I wanted
'Cause hope for me was a place uncharted
And overgrown

You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this
You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More
More
More
More

Open your eyes like I open mine
It's only the real world
A life you will never know
Shifting your weight to throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
But only for so long

You look like I did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering how it felt to shut down

Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more
More
More
More
More

The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
So I'll do it myself

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you won't come any closer
You've got to reach out

Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you won't come any closer
You've got to reach out more
More
More
More
More

Conspiracy

Please speak softly, for they will hear us
And they'll find out why we don't trust them
Speak up dear cause I cannot hear you
I need to know why we don't trust them

Explain to me this conspiracy against me (yeah...yeah)
And tell me how I've lost my power (Ohh, yeah)

Where can I turn? Cause I need something more
Surrounded by uncertainties I'm so unsure of
Tell me why I feel so alone cause I need to Know to whom do I owe

Explain to me this conspiracy against me (yeah...yeah)
And tell me how I've lost my power (ohh, yeah)

I thought that we'd make it
Because you said that we'd make it through
And when all security fails
will you be there to help me through

Explain to me this conspiracy against me (Yeah....yeah)
And tell me how I've lost my power (ohhhhhh....)

I've lost my power

Crushcrushcrush

I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all

They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies

Crush
Crush

Crush, crush

Just the one, two i was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again

If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute

Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies

Decode

How can I decide on what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight all the time
Nor could I ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood,
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all

Well, I will figure this one out on my own
(I'm screaming "I love you so.")
On my own
(My thoughts you can't decode)

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves

Yeah, Yeah

How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well

I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me,
I want it to be true

Decoy

Close your eyes and make believe
This is where you want to be
Forgetting all the memories,
Try to forget love cause love's forgotten me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late pretty soon you won't remember a thing
And I'll be distant, the stars reminiscing
Your heart's been wasted on me

oh......oh...oh
You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy
My little decoy

Living life inside a dream
Time is changing everything
Forgetting all the memories
And I'm forced into you just cause you're into me
Well hey, hey baby, it's never too late
When I'm gone you won't remember a thing
But I can't stay and you know I won't wait
I was gone from the very first day

You've never been so used as I'm using you, abusing you
My little decoy
Don't look so blue, you should've seen right through
I'm using you, my little decoy

Oh, oh.
I'm not sorry at all
(not sorry at all, not sorry. no.)
I won't be sorry at all
(not sorry at all, not sorry. no.)
I'd do it over again

Don't look so blue, my little decoy
You should've seen right through, my little decoy
You've never been so used, my little decoy
And so I'm using you, my little decoy

Emergency

I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency

If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won't stop holding on

So are you listening?
So are you watching me?

If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won't stop holding on.

This is an emergency
So are you listening?

And I can't pretend that I don't see this

it's really not your fault
When no one cares to talk about it
[To talk about it]

Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive (deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive (alive)

So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again

I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency

And you do your best to show me love,
but you don't know what love is.

So are you listening?
So are you watching me?

Well I can't pretend that I don't see this

But it's really not your fault
When no one cares to talk about it
[to talk about it?]

Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive (deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive (alive)

Scars, they will not fade away.

No one cares to talk about it, can we talk about it?

Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive (deserved to be alive)
I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive (alive)

Faces in Disguise

These fears come rushing in when I enter here
Another layer on my back
A blazing fire where our glances meet
The largest feeling towering over me

Faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire

I long to take you to a secret place
Where we could lay aside our past
We'd throw the world away with all its pain
To shine like stars through storm and clouds and rain

Faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire
(Cold faces in disguise)**
(Not a trace of desire)**

Go face the day
Go and see new things
Go face the day
But you'll remember me...

I see a tear inside when you're turned away
Another wound that I'd take back
If I could fill your heart just once and then
I'd take you now where we could live again

Faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire
(Cold faces in disguise)**
(Not a trace of desire)**

Go face the day
Go and see new things
Go face the day
but you'll remember me...

Faces in disguise
Not a trace of desire
(Cold faces in disguise)**
(Not a trace of desire)**

Faces in Disguise

Feeling Sorry

we still live in the same town, well don't we
but i don't see you around anymore
i go to all the same places, not even a trace of you
your days are numbered at 24

and i'm getting bored waiting around for you
we're not getting any younger
and i won't look back cause there's no use
it's time to move forward

i feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave
you barely get by, the rest of us are trying
no need to apologize, i've got no time for feeling sorry

i try not to think of what might happen
when your reality it finally cuts through
well as for me i got out and i'm on the road
the worst part is that this could be you

and you know it too
you can't run from your shame
you're not getting any younger
and time keeps passing by
but you wave it away
it's time to roll over

i feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave
you barely get by, the rest of us are trying
no need to apologize, i've got no time for feeling sorry

all the best lies
they are told with fingers tied
so cross them tight, won't you promise me tonight
if it's the last thing you do you'll get out

i feel no sympathy, you live inside a cave
you barely get by, the rest of us are trying
no need to apologize, i've got no time for feeling sorry

Fences

I'm sitting in a room,
Made up of only big white walls and in the halls
There are people looking through
The window in the door, and they know exactly what we're here for.

Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.

You're always on display
For everyone to watch and learn from,
Don't you know by now,
You can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.

And it's obvious that your dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile, 'cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.

If you let me I could,
I'd show you how to build your fences,
Set restrictions, seprate from the world.
The constant battle that you hate to fight,
Just blame the limelight.

Don't look up
Just let them think
There's no place else
You'd rather be.

And now you can't turn back
Because this road is all you'll ever have.

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, 'cause this is your night.
So smile.

Yeah, yeah you're asking for it
With every breath that you breathe in
Just breathe it in.
Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.

Yeah, yeah well you're just a mess
You do all this big talking
So now let's see you walk it.
I said let's see you walk it.

And it's obvious that you're dying, dying.
Just living proof that the camera's lying.
And oh oh open wide, yeah oh oh open wide.
Yeah, oh oh open wide,
'Cause you'll go out in style.
You'll go out in style.

For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic

Just talk yourself up
And tear yourself down
You've hit your one wall
Now find a way around
Well what's the problem?
You've got a lot of nerve

So what'd you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

I'm not so naive
My sorry eyes can see
The way you fight shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You'll get what you deserve

So what'd you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
So what did you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away
You wouldn't

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don't you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight with your bare hands about it now

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay, well did you?
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away

Franklin

And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town that we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed

'Cause you remind me of a time when we were so alive
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
'Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't feel the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed

'Cause you remind me of a time when we were so alive
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
'Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time
It's taking up our time we can't
go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time we can't
go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time we can't
go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time, taking up our time

'Cause you remind me of a time when we were so alive
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Hallelujah

Somehow everything's gonna fall right into place
If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
If only time flew like a dove
Well God, make it fly faster than I'm falling in love

This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming "hallelujah"
We'll make it last forever

Holding onto patience wearing thin
I can't force these eyes to see the end
If only time flew like a dove
We could watch it fly and just keep looking up

This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming "hallelujah"
We'll make it last forever

And we've got time on our hands
(We've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands
Got nothing but, got nothing but
(We've got time) Got nothing but time on our hands

This time we're not giving up
Oh, let's make it last forever
Screaming "hallelujah" (hallelujah)
Hallelujah

Hello, Hello

Hello Hello
Is anyone home?
Hello Hello
Just pick up the phone

I opened up my life to you
I told you everything I knew
You listened so closely too
You listened so close
When love was just a way out
But you're going deaf now
Yeah, you turned your head around

Hello Hello
Is anyone home?
Hello Hello
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear
I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear
You're without me now

You blew up the world I built for us
Destroyed our secret universe
Threw out the trust I put in you
Making me feel like I'd been used

And now I'm reminded
That I was just blinded

Hello Hello
Is anyone home?
Hello Hello
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear
I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear
You're without me now

I'm doing fine
You'll be alright
Maybe you'll think of me tonight (hello...)
You're doing fine
And I'll be alright
Just give me time
Yeah...

Hello Hello
Is anyone home?
Hello Hello
Just pick up the phone
I don't wanna hear
You're doing fine now
Don't wanna hear
I'm without out you now

I'm without you now
Without you now.

Here We Go Again

And here we go again
With all the things you said
And not a minute spent
To think that we'd regret
So we just take it back,
These words and hold our breath
Forget the things we swore we meant

I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not. (No I'm not) Well, I'm not.

And here we go again
With all the things we did
And now I'm wondering
Just who would I have been
To be the one attached
At all time to your hip?
Forget the things we swore we meant.

I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not, no I'm not.
Well, I'm not. (No, I'm not, no I'm not).

I'll write you to let you know that I'm alright
Can't say I'm sad to see you go
Cause I'm not (no, I'm not)
Well, I'm not (no, I'm not)
I'm not, I'm not.

And here we go again
With all the things you said
And not a minute spent
To think that we'd regret
So we just take it back (11x)

Hear You Me

There's no one in town I know
You gave us some place to go
I never said thank you for that
'thought I might get one more chance

What would you think of me now?
So lucky, so strong, so proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads, the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

So what would you think of me now?
So lucky, so strong, so proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

(May angels lead you in)
May angels lead you in
(May angels lead you in)
May angels lead you in

And if you were with me tonight
I'd sing to you just one more time
A song for a heart so big
God wouldn't let it live

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

I Caught Myself

Down to you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I...

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought of you

Of you...
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No I don't know what I want

You got it, you got it
Some kind of magic
Hypnotic, hypnotic
You're leaving me breathless
I hate this, I hate this
You're not the one I believe in
With God as my witness

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought of you

Of you...
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No I don't know what I want

Don't know what I want
But I know it's not you
Keep pushing and pulling me down
When I know in my heart it's not you

Hmmm... Ohh..

Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought
Now when I caught myself, I had to stop myself
From saying something that I should have never thought of you
I knew, I know in my heart it's not you
I knew,but now i know what I want, I want, I want
Oh no, I should have never thought!

Ignorance

if i’m a bad person, you don’t like me
i guess i’ll make my own way
it’s a circle
a mean cycle
i can’t excite you anymore
where’s your gavel? your jury?
what’s my offense this time?
you’re not a judge but if you’re gonna judge me
well sentence me to another life.

don’t wanna hear your sad songs
i don’t wanna feel your pain
when you swear it’s all my fault
cause you know we’re not the same,
we’re not the same
oh we’re not the same
ya, the friends who stuck together
we wrote our names in blood
but i guess you can’t accept that the change is good (hey)
it’s good (hey)
it's good

you treat me just like another stranger
well it’s nice to meet you sir
i guess i’ll go
i best be on my way out (2x)

ignorance is your new best friend (2x)

this is the best thing that could’ve happened
any longer and i wouldn’t have made it
it’s not a war no, it’s not a rapture
i’m just a person but you can’t take it
the same tricks that, that once fooled me
they won’t get you anywhere
i’m not the same kid from your memory
well now i can fend for myself

don’t wanna hear your sad songs
i don’t wanna feel your pain
when you swear it’s all my fault
cause you know we’re not the same,
we’re not the same
oh we’re not the same
ya, we used to stick together
we wrote our names in blood
but i guess you can’t accept that the change is good (hey)
it’s good (hey)
it's good

you treat me just like another stranger
well it’s nice to meet you sir
i guess i’ll go
i best be on my way out

ignorance is your new best friend (4x)

you treat me just like another stranger
well it’s nice to meet you sir
i guess i’ll go
i best be on my way out

Just Like Me

Verse 1:
I slipped down the stairs
Tripped over your fragile ego
I slipped the whole way
Right into the web you'd woven

Chorus:
And you never said
That you meant to save some one
Somebody just like me
And you never told me
You wanted to love some one
Somebody just like me

Verse 2:
You locked all the doors
You felt it was safer that way
You put up a wall
And now your whole world is caving in

Chorus:
And you never said
That you meant to save some one
Somebody just like me
And you never told me
You wanted to love some one
Somebody just like me

Interlude:
You swallow your pride
As Your left behind
Counting Stars to name your lies
You let the rain
Push you away
And now your drowning in the ways

(Yeaah)And you never said
That you meant to save some one
Somebody just like me
And you never told me
You wanted to love some one
Somebody just like me

And you never told me
You wanted to love some one
Somebody just like
Somebody just like Me
And you never said
you meant to save some one
like me
Somebody just like me...

Let the Flames Begin

What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things.
A memory remains just a tiny spark.
I give it all my oxygen,
to let the flames begin.
to let the flames begin.

Oh, glory.
Oh, glory.
This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down.
This is what we'll be.
Oh, glory.

Somewhere weakness is our strength,
And I'll die searching for it.
I can't let myself regret such selfishness.
My pain and all the trouble caused,
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all, and
Growing beneath it all, and...

This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing it.
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down.
This is what will be.
Oh, glory.

Reaching as I sink down into light.
Reaching as I sink down into light.

This is how we'll dance when,
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing it.
This is how we'll stand when,
When they burn our houses down.
This is what we'll be.
Oh, glory.

Long Distance Call

Where to go I had no idea
26.10 was the price to pay
A messed up kid with no ideals at all
I thought those 26.10 I shouldn't give'em away

I remember this young guy died and I took his part He got far too many stitches on his pretty face Long time to see but I always thought us two would be serious I was looking around town, thinking the same as you

I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more

It's never been like that
It's never been like that

I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more

Where to go I had no idea about it
Most of the people do, there're only doing just fine I don't wanna stay in place no more, see Ain't doing well well well, I am only doing just fine

long time no see, long time no say
Got little to tell, I don't say much but I might Something always told me us two would be serious I am looking around town, thinking the same as you

I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more

It's never been like that
It's never been like that

I'm far gone but your long distance call And your capital letters keep me asking for more

Long time no see... Long time no say...

Looking Up

Things are looking up, oh finally
I thought I'd see the day when you smile at me
We always pull through oh when we try
I'm always wrong but you're never
Oh, you're never right

Honestly, can you believe
We crossed the world while it's asleep
I'd never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

Could given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots from the end of me
Taken for granted most everything
That I would have died for just yesterday
Just yesterday

Honestly, can you believe
We crossed the world while it's asleep
I'd never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

God knows the the world doesn't need another band
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
But what a waste it would have been
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
We're just getting started
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh

Honestly, can you believe
We crossed the world while it's asleep
I'd never trade it in
'Cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore, no
It's not a dream anymore, no
It's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

I can't believe we almost hung it up!
We're just getting started!
I can't believe we almost hung it up!
We're just getting started!
We're just getting started

Love's Not a Competition (But I'm Winning)

Well I won't be the one to disappoint you, anymore
And I know I said all this so that you heard it all before
The trick is getting you to think that all this is your idea
And that it is everything you've ever wanted out of here

[Chorus:]
Love's not a competition, but I'm winning

I'm not sure what's truly altruistic anymore
Cuz every good that I do is listed, and your keeping score

[Chorus:]
Love's not a competition, but I'm winning
Well love's not a competition, but I'm winning
Or at least I thought I was
But there's no way of knowing
At least I thought I was
But there's no way of knowing

You know what it's like when you're new to the game
But I'm not

Well, I won't be the one to disappoint you
Well, I won't be the one to disappoint you, anymore

[Hayley (lead vocals)]
Oh I won't be the one to disappoint you, anymore
Oh I won't be the one to disappoint you, anymore
Oh I won't be the one to disappoint you, anymore

[Josh (back up vocals)]
Love's not a competition, but I'm winning
Love's not a competition, but I'm winning

Miracle

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and I
When this memory fades
I'm gonna make sure it's replaced
With chances taken
Hope embraced
And have I told you

I'm not going
cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
When it might save you

We've learned to run from
Anything uncomfortable
We've tied our pain below and no one ever has to know
That inside we're broken
I tried to patch things up again
To cut my tears and kill these fears
And have I told you, Have I..

I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you

It's not faith if, if you use your eyes
Oh why

Get it right this time (this time)
Let's leave this all behind
Oh why

We'll get it right this time
It's not faith if you're using your eyes
Oh why

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive
So I'm going to start over tonight
Beginning with you and

I don't want to run from anything uncomfortable
I just want, no
I just need this pain to end right here

I'm not going
Cause I've been waiting for a miracle
And I'm not leaving
I won't let you
Let you give up on a miracle
Cause it might save you

Yeah, it might save you
Oh, it might save you

It's not faith if, if you use your eyes
If you use your eyes
If you use your eyes

Please please please
let your light shine bright inside of me
shine inside of me.

I know that you're already all of these things.

Misery Business

I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass it's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
just steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.
Cause God it just feels so,
It just feels so good.

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passin' up, now look this way.
Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
just steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.
Cause God it just feels so,
It just feels so good.

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving.

Whoa, I never meant to brag,
But I got him where I want him now.

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
just steal it all away from you now.
But God does it feel so good,
Cause I got what I wanted now
And if you could then you know you would.
Cause God it just feels so,
It just feels so good.

Misguided Ghosts

1, 2, 3, 4

I'm going away for awhile
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See I'm tryna find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes

And run
From them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction

Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Travelling endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact they follow me

And we just go in circles

Well now I'm told that this is life
And pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it
Would someone care to classify,
Of broken hearts and twisted minds
So i can find someone to rely on

And run
To them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh you are not useless
We are just

Misguided ghosts
Travelling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
We should not be the same
But i'm just a ghost
And still they echo me

They echo me in circles

My Heart

I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone

Stay with me, this is what I need, please?

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope

This time I will be listening.

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
(My heart, it beats for you)

This heart, it beats, beats for only you (It beats, beats for only you)
My heart is yours (My heart is yours)

This heart, it beats, beats for only you (Please don't go now, please don't fade away)
My heart, my heart is yours (Please don't go now, please don't fade away)

(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is yours
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is yours
(Please don't go, please don't fade away)
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is...

My Hero

Too alarming now to talk it out
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, racing around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

My Number One

You're my number one
You're my golden star
I look at earth from here
Still you don't seem so far

But you will never know(you will never know)
Oh you will never know

Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh

Do you think of me
Do you wonder
If we could ever be
Residing under
Because we will never know(we will never know)
Until I see you show through

Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh

I
I wish I could tell you how I feel
And show you what's inside of me is real
I dont know what I'm waiting for
I can't explain it anymore
Yeah

Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
Oh I will never admit that I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh

I
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
That I love
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
I love
Oh oh oh oh oooh oh oh
I love you

Never Let This Go

Maybe if my heart stops beating
It won't hurt this much
And never will I have to answer
Again to anyone

Please don't get me wrong

Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you

One day you'll get sick of
saying that everything's alright
And by then I'm sure I'll be pretending
Just like I am tonight

Please don't get me wrong

Because I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you

Let this go, let this go

But I'll never let this go
But I can't find the words to tell you
I don't want to be alone
But now I feel like I don't know you

And I'll never let this go
I can't find the words to tell you
That now I feel like I don't know you

Playing God

[Verse]
Cant make my own decisions
Or make any with precision
Well maybe you should tie me up
So I don't go where you don't want me

You say that I've been changing
That I'm not just simply aging
Yeah, how can that be logical
Just keep cramming ideas down my throat

[Pre-chorus]
Whoa

[Chorus]
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

[Verse]
If God's the game that you're playing
Well we must get more acquainted
Because it has to be so lonely
To be the only one that's holy

It's just my humble opinion
But it's one that I believe in
You don't deserve a point of view
If the only thing you see is you

[Pre-chorus]
Whoa

[Chorus]
You don't have to believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

[Hook]
This is the last second chance
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm half as good as it gets
(I'll point you to the mirror)
I'm on both sides of the fence
(I'll point you to the mirror)
Without a hint of regret
I'll hold you to it

[Chorus]
I know you don't believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

I know you wont believe me
But the way I, way I see it
Next time you point a finger
I might have to bend it back
Or break it, break it off
Next time you point a finger
I'll point you to the mirror

Pressure

Tell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again

Cause I fear I might break
and I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lie awake feeling empty

I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you

Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all of the days that we spent
Carried away from home

Somethings I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone feeling empty

I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you

Without you

Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
well I'm sitting all alone feeling empty

I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you

i can Feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
You're better off without me

Rewind

Don’t come looking for me
Cuz I’ll be right here with the words you said
I’m looking for the words to say
You know what you did, you know
And how can anybody
Forget the promise that you made?
Cuz this is how the promise breaks
Always knew you'd fall through
And now you’re proof...

Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
And rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick make it painless
Don’t tell me lies just say goodbye.

And now your running from me
so cool, so scared of what you might have said
and no one's ever looked away, cause we know what you did, we know.
If I told anybody, they would
soon forget your name and you would never have a place.
I always knew you'd fall through and now your proof.

And rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
And rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick make it painless
Don’t tell me lies just say goodbye.

Please don’t say too much, ohhhh
I think we’ve heard enough from you oohhh

Rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
I knew it would not last
And rewind to the first time
That I felt it coming
Make it quick make it painless
Don’t tell me lies just say goodbye.

Don’t tell me lies just say goodbye.

Stay Away

Your lies are bleeding through your teeth
Your eyes the only ones failing me
Your promises never really meant a thing
But they flowed from your lips so easily

Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away, away

It's my best at your heart
The glass that rips your word apart
Is it the guilt that keeps you up at night when your in bed?
Well you can sleep sound honey, I'll return to attack

Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away, away

I never was too good with goodbyes
You made it easy when your greed presided
With all the evil that you've provided
You still put the "good" in "goodbye"
In goodbye, in goodbye

Stay away, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay away from me
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay away from me

Stop This Song (Lovesick Melody)

You say the sweetest things and I
Can't keep my heart from singing along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving to this 4/4 beat, I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (die for you)

(Someone stop this)
I've gone to far to come back from here, but you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me

Won't someone stop this song, so I won't sing along
Someone stop this song, so I won't sing..

I never let love in so I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea, the more I sink into this 4/4 beat
I'm in time with you
Whoa, to this 4/4 beat I would die for you (stop this song)

I've gone to far to come back from here, but you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me
I've come to far to get over you, and you don't have a clue
You don't know what you do to me

Can't someone stop this song, so I won't sing along
Someone stop this song, so I won't sing

Your lovesick melody is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me if I don't sing

It creeps in like a spider
Can't be killed, although I try and try to
Well, don't you see I'm falling?
Don't wanna love you, but I do

(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won't sing along?
(Lovesick melody) Can someone stop this song, so I won't sing?
Your lovesick melody is gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won't get to me, no
You won't get to me 'cause I won't sing

Stuck On You

I heard you driving in my car
Then in a frozen bar
And I claimed I didn't care for you
But your verse got trapped inside my head
Over and over again
You played yourself to death in me

I thought I'd drop you easily
But that was not to be
You burrowed like a summer tick
So you invade my sleep and confuse my dreams
Turn my nights to sleepless itch

Stuck on you 'till the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you 'till the end of time
you've got me paralyzed

Holding on the telephone
I hear your midrange moan
You're everywhere inside my room
Even when I'm alone I hear your mellow drone
You're everywhere inside of me

Stuck on you 'till the end of time
I'm too tired to fight your rhyme
Stuck on you 'till the end of time
You got me trapped

I can't escape your incessant whine
When you beam it out all across the sky
No I can't escape
(stuck on you 'till the end of time)
your insipid rhyme
(I'm too tired to fight your rhyme)
When you shoot it deep
(stuck on you 'till the end of time)
Straight into my mind

Sunday, Bloody Sunday

I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes and make it go away!

How long?
How long must we sing this song?
How long?
How long?

'Cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end streets
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts back up against the wall!

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
All right lets go!

And the battles just begun
Theres many lost but tell me who has won
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart!

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday

How long...how long must we sing this song?
How long?
How long?

'Cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight
Tonight (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Tonight
Tonight (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Tonight
Come get some!

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
I wipe your tears away (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
I wipe your blood shot eyes (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Here I come!

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die!

The real battle yet began (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
To claim the victory Jesus won (Sunday, Bloody Sunday
on...

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday...

Sweetness

If you're listening
Whoa...
Sing it back
Whoa...
Strung from your tethered unwinds (echo)
Whoa, Whoa
Upward and outward to bind (echo)
Whoa, Whoa

I was spinning free
Whoa..
With a little sweet and simple numbing me

Are you listening?
Whoa...
Sing it back
Whoa...
So tell me what do I need? (echo)
Whoa, Whoa
When words lose their meaning? (echo)
Whoa, Whoa

I was spinning free
Whoa...
With a little sweet and Simple numbing me

Stumble till you crawl
Whoa
Sinking into sweet uncertainty

ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh

Are you listening(echo)

If you're listening
Whoa...(If you're listening, are you listening?)
Sing it back
Whoa...(If you're listening, are you listening?)
And I'm still running away (echo)
Whoa, Whoa (echo)
I won't play your hide and seek game (echo)
Whoa, Whoa

Whoa... (in background echoing)

(oooh)
No, the sweetness will not be concerned with me
(oooh)
(oooh)
No, the sweetness will not be concerned with me

Swim in Silence

Meet me here beneath the burning sky
Where the ocean comes and takes us from all our lives
Never said that you were coming back
I have waited all the while and found the place you hide
What keeps you so far away?

We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I could slowly sink in
Watch you as you leave
I will drown until you care
(I will drown until you care)

I imagine what it must be like
To have everything you need
And not be satisfied (satisfied)
Run the water till it burns
And you can’t see through the waves
That crash into your pride
What keeps you so far away?

We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I could slowly sink in
Watch you as you leave
I will drown until you care

(going under, going under)

cut it close
to what we cannot recognize
floating face down in the lies
here we are without a trace
of the lies we used to blame
and you’re so far away

What keeps you so far away?

We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I could slowly sink in
Watch you as you leave
I will drown until you care

We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone

We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I will drown until you care

Temporary

I used to be so quick, so clever
I used to know myself much better
Anyone can see that this is only permanent
Temporary, it never hurts to try

And it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
But repetition ends in failure
And every time I see it in your eyes
When repetition ends, we'll start over

Now I'm a walking contradiction
So tell me what's wrong with this picture
Cause anyone can see that this is only permanent
Temporary, so don't hurt me this time

And it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
But repetition ends in failure
And every time I see it in your eyes
When repetition ends, we'll start over

So give it up, just give up
Give it up, give up
So give it up, just give up
Give it up, give up

And it's all a game
I know we'll stay the same
But repetition ends in failure
And every time I see it in your eyes
When repetition ends, we'll start over

We'll start over

That's What You Get

No sir, well I don't wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It's your turn, so take a seat we're settling the final score.
And why do we lie to hurt, so much?

I can't decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities
Well I was wrong

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you're not here.
Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding on to silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities I'm sure you've heard.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I'll always be just so (so) inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let's start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That's what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.

That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now I can't trust myself with anything but this,
And that's what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

The Only Exception

When I was younger I saw my daddy
cry and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and
I watched as he tried to re-assemble it.
And my mamma swore she would
never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if does not exist.
But darling..

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Maybe I know somewhere deep in
my soul that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
keeping a comfortable, distance.
And up until now I swore to myself
that I'm content with loneliness,
'cause none of it was ever worth the risk.

But you are the only exception
But you are the only exception
But you are the only exception
But you are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't let go of whats part of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up,
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

Whooa..

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

This Circle

Take this time to realize
That you always shut your eyes
In the midst of trial
And everything is always right
(and I think that it's time)
this battle must be won
(but you pushed it aside)
Pushed it aside
Pretend that it's gone

This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over

Take this time to realize
That you always force a smile
In the midst of trial
And everything is always right
(and I think that it's time)
This battle must be won
(but you pushed it aside)
Pushed it aside
Pretend that it's gone

This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over
This circle never ends
And it's time you
Just face it, don't pretend
That it's over

And it never ends...
It never ends...
And it never ends...
(and it never ends)
No, it never ends

this circle never ends
and it's time you
just face it, don't pretend
that it's over
this circle never ends
and it's time you
just face it, don't pretend
that It's over
It's over

Throwing Punches

There’s an empty room at the end of the hall
And it’s begging to swallow you whole

Each step you take
Makes it easier for you to fall on your face
Each tear you fake
Makes it easier to see straight through you now

And you’re so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
Just to say you’re in love

So you hang yourself from stolen dreams
And under the table you hide every stain

Each step you take (getting closer)
Makes it easier to fall on your face
Each death you fake (getting closer)
Makes it easier to live this way
And now

And you’re so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
Just to say you’re in love

Watch it disappear
The dream you hold so dear
Let it fade (let it fade)
Let it fade (let it fade)
Let it fade (let it fade) now

And you’re so hateful sometimes
Throwing punches at lies
Fall from somewhere above
Just to say you’re in love
Just to say you’re in love

Turn It Off

I scraped my knees while i was praying
and found a demon in my safest haven
seems like its getting harder to believe in anything
and just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it’d be like
to find perfection in my pride
to see nothing in the light
but turn it off in all my spite,
in all my spite i’ll turn it off

and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

tragedy it seems unending
i'm watching everyone i looked up to break and bending
we’re taking short cuts and false illusions
just to cut out the hero

well i can see behind the curtain
the wheels are creaking, turning
it's all wrong the way we’re working
towards a goal that's nonexistent, it’s nonexistent but we just keep believing

and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what it’d be like
to find perfection in my pride
to see nothing in the light
but turn it off in all my spite,
in all my spite i’ll turn it off
just turn it off again
again, again, again.

and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

and the worst part is before it gets any better we’re headed for a cliff
and in the freefall i will realize i'm better off when I hit the bottom

Use Somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me, someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now, I'm ready now
I'm ready now

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see

Walk the Line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine,
I walk the line

We Are Broken

I am outside
And I've been waiting for the sun
With my wide eyes
I've seen worlds that don't belong
My mouth is dry with words I cannot verbalize
Tell me why we live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Yeah
Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Lock the doors
Cause I'd like to capture this voice
That came to me tonight
So everyone will have a choice
And under red lights
I'll show myself it wasn't forged
We're at war
We live like this

Keep me safe inside
Your arms like towers
Tower over me

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

Tower over me
Tower over me
...and I'll take the truth at any cost.

Cause we are broken
What must we do to restore
Our innocence
And all the promise we adored
Give us life again cause we just wanna be whole

When It Rains

And when it rains on this side of town
It touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
and convinced yourself
that it's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore

and no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming
(no oh) I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain

And when it rains
You always find an escape
Just running away
From all of the ones who love you
From everything
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And you'll sleep till May
You'll say that you don't want to see the sun anymore

and no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming
(no oh) I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain

(Explain your side, Take my side)
Take these chances to turn it around
Take these chances we'll make it somehow
And Take these chances and turn it around
Just turn it around.

and no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming
no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming
no (oh) how could you do it
(oh I) I never saw it coming and
(no oh) I need an ending
So why can't you stay
Just long enough to explain

You can take your time, take my time.

Where the Lines Overlap

Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out, out loud

Chasing patterns
Across a personal map
An' making pictures
Where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
But we already won
No no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Call me over
And tell me how
You got so far
Never making a single sound

I'm not used to it
But I can learn
There's nothing to it
I've never been happier
I've never been happier

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
But we already won
Oh no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Now I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, you
Would sing it back to me
I've got a feeling if I sang this loud enough, you
Would sing it back to me

I've got a feeling
(I've got a feeling)
That you, will sing it back to me
You, will sing it back to me

No one is as lucky as us
We're not at the end but
But we already won
Oh no, no one
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Whoa

I've hoped for change,
it gets better everyday
I've hoped for change,
but still I feel the same

There's something wrong,
cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

We're doing fine
And it gets better everytime
We're doing fine
But I'll let you decide

There's something wrong,
cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
We've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

And I'll confess
That I can be a little selfish
Yeah I'll admit
I don't want you to help me through this
I don't want to start over again

And we've got everybody singing
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
And we've got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

And I'll confess
I can be a little selfish, I can, I can
Yeah I'll admit
I don't want you to get me through this
I don't want to start over again
