Sometimes...
01:40
|
|||
|
Sometimes
When you love someone
You communicate
In a language
Of subtle glances
And quiet gestures
And the things
That you don't say
But sometimes
It's easy to feel like
The only person
That doesn't hear you
Is who you're talking to

In Your Mind
04:37
|
|||
|
"In your mind
There's a picture of me
That I can see
In your eyes
In your mind
I'm looking for a ride
To the other side
Of this life"
This is my greatest fear
This is what bothers me
You're sayin' "I don't even care"
And "you've got somewhere else to be"
Maybe in your mind
"In your mind
I'm better than I am
When my life is slammed
Right against the wall
In your mind, I will always be
And I never even cared that much at all"
This is my greatest fear
This is what bothers me
You're sayin' "I don't even care"
And "you've got somewhere else to be"
Maybe in your mind
I'm going crazy
And I don't even mind
Because you like
To cross that line
I know you you do
Maybe it's in my mind
This is my greatest fear
This is what bothers me
You're sayin' "I don't even care"
And "you've got somewhere else to be"
Maybe in your mind

Hypothesis
01:24
|
|||
|
It's a beautiful thing
Being close to you
It's something that I
Was made to
That hypothesis
That I have about you
It's something that I
Would like to prove
But I don't think we need
Any more than this
Cause it's all we've got
Let's keep hold of it
I can't take the next step
Cause it's too far from here
There's too much to lose
And I can't stop this
Fear

These Thoughts
04:24
|
|||
|
You were an angel
An angel at rest
Do you remember
Remember the best
When it was prefect
But perfectly wrong
Nothing happened
To finish our song
It's still going on
For me
It's still going strong
Oh oh ooh whoa oh
These Thoughts that I just can't erase
Sometimes this feels so out of place
You know that I'm right
Don't you
And I couldn't stand to hear you say
"Oh well, it's only for today"
But you'll remember me
Won't you
Won't you
Dissected
I've been compromised
Infected
With all the lies
I don't know what's real
And what's the truth
I just can't feel without you
Giving me a heart
Then tearing it apart
Oh oh ooh whoa oh
These Thoughts that I just can't erase
Sometimes this feels so out of place
You know that I'm right
Don't you
And I couldn't stand to hear you say
"Oh well, it's only for today"
But you'll remember me
Won't you
Won't you
I just thought that we
Had connected oh so well
And when I promised not to fall
It was because
I already fell
Oh
Oh oh ooh whoa oh
These Thoughts that I just can't erase
Sometimes this feels so out of place
You know that I'm right
Don't you
And I couldn't stand to hear you say
"Oh well, it's only for today"
But you'll remember me
Won't you
Won't you

Counting Down
03:23
|
|||
|
Counting down to 25
The day in which I die
I become somebody else
Or fade away inside
Counting down to 25
I would love to be your tool
But I don't think you like the way
That I struggle with this truth
I don't either
Yet I know
That it could be far too late
Leaving me here to decide if I
Will accept my fate
But I'm counting down to 25
The day in which I die
I become somebody else
Or fade away inside
Fade away, I'm
Counting down to 25
The day in which I die
I become somebody else
Or fade away inside
Or fade away in time
Oh
We're counting down
But we're not there yet
We're just counting down

Vipers
03:32
|
|||
|
I wish you'd clear this up because
It's getting hard to see
Are you still here for everyone else
Or are you still here for me
Yes, I still remember you
Yes, it was terrific
But I thought I needed you
What I needed
Was something less specific
Don't you know
That now
It's time to go
Why, why why why can't I see
That all of this
Was never meant to be
Cause I had my chance
It never worked
We can't do this dance
Cause vipers always lurked
We had our chance
It never worked
We can't do this dance
Cause vipers always lurked
Yes, I still remember you
Yes, it was terrific
But I thought I needed you
What I needed
Was something less specific
Don't you know
That now
It's time to go
Why, why why why can't I see
That all of this
Was never meant to be
Cause we had our chance
It never worked
We can't do this dance
Cause vipers always lurked

EXIT
04:24
|
|||
|
You asked if I
Believed in soulmates
The room was loud
And you didn't hear me
In my mind, it's just a
Fading memory
The room was loud
And you didn't hear me
Yet I know
This is my departure
My exit now
In your heart am I
Welcome still
Or am I part of another life
All because of you
This is my departure
My exit now
In your heart am I
Welcome still
Or am I part of another life
All because of you
I don't know what to do
Can I find a way
To erase
How it is
Or is it my fate
That I'm feeling like this
Cause no other love
Will be the same
As what we missed
Is it my fate
That I'm
Forever
Feeling like this
Tell me now
This is my departure
My exit now
In your heart am I
Welcome still
Or am I part of another life
All because of you
This is my departure
My exit now
In your heart am I
Welcome still
Or am I part of another life
All because of you
I don't know what to do
We'll meet again someday
We'll meet again someday
If heaven was to change
Its motive, but
This is my departure
My exit now
In your heart am I
Welcome still
Or am I part of another life
All because of you
This is my departure
My exit now
In your heart am I
Welcome still
Or am I part of another life
All because of you
I don't know what to do

Brave Enough
04:13
|
|||
|
I remember the things I forgot to say
I think about it every day
Now my love is far away
Cause I was not brave enough
I was not brave enough
And sometimes I fear you've given up
Cause I was not brave enough
I remember everything you said
I have it frozen in my head
You wanted someone else instead
Cause I was not brave enough
I was not brave enough
And sometimes I fear you've given up
Cause I was not brave enough
I remember all that stuff
How your hair looked when you just got up
I never made a move and I never got enough
Cause I was not brave enough
I was not brave enough
Sometimes I fear you've given up
Cause I was not brave enough
I remember everything about you
All the things we used to do
And if you were in love
Then I was too
But I was not brave enough
I was not brave enough
Sometimes I fear you've given up
Cause I was not brave enough
(Epic kazoo solo)
I hope someday we reunite
Until then I won't give up the fight
Then again I suppose I might
Cause I'm just not brave enough
I'm just not brave enough
Sometimes I feel like given up
Cause I'm just not brave enough

Hope You Know
04:42
|

|
I look at the stars
And I can't believe
They're so far apart
Like you and me
I know I'll never be yours
But I still hold on to a lifeless dream
Even though it don't mean anything
My heart is tired and sore
But I'm hoping you're somewhere in this crowd
Hoping I can see your face somehow
Oh
I hope you know
And I'm hoping this night won't be in vein
But the moon is so bright that I
Can't complain oh
I hope you know
That whenever I walk this path
I'm looking for you
Why did I expect you to be mine?
Magic is never immune to time
I know you're looking for love
But I wanted to give you
That and more
A perfect new life like never before
I guess I couldn't get it quickly enough
But I'm hoping you're somewhere in this crowd
Hoping I can see your face somehow
Oh
I hope you know
And I'm hoping this night won't be in vein
But the moon is so bright that I
Can't complain oh
I hope you know
That whenever I walk this path
Oh, whenever I walk this path
I'm looking for you
We can start over
We can start over
We can start over again
Nothing that's happenned
Cannot be undone
We can start over again
I'm hoping you're somewhere in this crowd
Hoping I can see your face somehow
Oh
I hope you know
And I'm hoping this night won't be in vein
But the moon is so bright that I
Can't complain oh
I hope you know
That whenever I walk this path
Whenever I walk this path
Whenever I walk this path
I'm looking for you

People Change (TYFTI)

Someone, put me in prison
I don't care if I ever get out
Cause the sun reminds me of a light
That I don't wanna do without
Nothing can stop it
Nothing can break it
Nothing can block it out
Oh
You know what I'm talking about
What do you want
What do you need
It isn't me
It's something oh
So far away
From who you used to be
But that's ok
Cause people change
People change
People change
Nothing can ever separate me
From who you were before
You'll be
Connected to my conciousness
Inside forevermore
Nothing can stop it
Nothing can break it
Nothing can block it out
You know what I'm talking about
About
What do you want
What do you need
It isn't me
It's something oh
So far away
From who you used to be
But that's ok
Cause people change
People change
People change
And you changed me
You changed me
So Thank You For The Inspiration
All the tears and patience wasted
Walking, pacing all around
Burying my head inside that couch
Thank You For The Inspiration
All the tears and patience wasted
Walking, pacing all around
Burying my head into the couch
Cause you changed me
You changed me
What do you want
What do you need
It isn't me
It's something oh
So far away
From who you used to be
But that's ok
Cause people change
People change
And you changed me

INeedYou
05:27

I wrote a song for you today
Maybe one day you'll hear
But for now it's gone to waste
Behind invisible tears
You give me all of these feelings
You know, I like it that way
There was a darkness inside of me
You made me feel okay
I need you
I need you
I need you
I just hope you need me, too
The time was never right for us
The time would never last
But I have only eight years now
(Counting down to 25)
I really should act fast
I need you
I need you
I need you
I just hope you need me, too
I hear he really loves you
At least that's what you say
I hear a different story
From you the very next day
You know you don't deserve that
You're wonderful in every way
You need somebody who sees that
And doesn't make you feel afraid
I need you
I need you
I need you
I just hope you need me, too
I still miss those eyes of yours
Greener than the garden we left
I've given up on loving you
But I cannot forget
And I know you've settled down now
And yet I can't ignore
The light inside you changed me
It made me so much more
I need you
I need you
I need you
I just hope you need me, too

cry
05:13
|

|
There was no escaping your big heart
I could hear it screaming from the start
Just like a jet plane
Every time you laughed I could feel your soul
Escaping quietly to let me know
That you felt the same
But now you don't know me
And I don't know you
But I hear about what you're up to
If you were in my place
You would know
It's not easy letting go
It's not easy letting go
So I guess I'll just cry
Isn't that what I always used to do
I guess I'll just cry
All alone on the bed in my room
So I guess I'll just cry
Isn't that what I always used to do
Oh
All alone on the bed in my room
I shrivel up inside
Every time that I hear your name
The way it is now
It was not the politics that broke
All the fun and inside jokes
It was the wedding vows
Cause you and I were so aligned
And every single thing that I did was because of you
My hair's the color of your eyes
And now I shrivel up inside at the thought of you
So I guess I'll just cry
Isn't that what I always used to do
I guess I'll just cry
All alone on the bed in my room
So I guess I'll just cry
Isn't that what I always used to do
Oh
All alone on the bed in my room
Every time I cry
In the cold dark night
I know I'll never again
Bask in your light
It's been so long
And I should be through it
But it still hurts
And I still do it
Every time I cry
In the cold dark night
I know I'll never again
Bask in your light
It's been so long
And I should be through it
But it still hurts
And I still do it
It still hurts
And I still do it
Cry
Isn't that what I always used to do
I guess I'll just cry
All alone on the bed in my room
I cry for days
I cry for nights
Yeah I know
It isn't right
I should be happy
With someone new
But you're a ditch and I can't move
So I cry
So I cry
