Finding all the time habits
Held on
For the sake of time
It's out of mind
But i'm still in line
I'll make the most of this
Helping myself to a way out
I'll dive into these
Dreams of drinking past nine
To better men, the one's who gave it away
I feel it all the time
And I'll carry it
That weight never bothered me
It was mine to gain
It was mine to lose
You were mine to lose, mine
You were mine to lose, mine
I hid in the hall with you
Face to face
A gorgeous mess out of control
Slow down, speak up,
I think I've been dreaming of tonight
Only You can make me feel so alive
Let's get out of here and lose control
To better men, the one's who gave it away
I feel it all the time
And I'll carry it
That weight never bothered me
It was mine to gain
It was mine to lose
You were mine to lose, mine
You were mine to lose, mine
Maybe its a game
But I can't seem to win
Maybe its a game
But I can't seem to win
Only you can make me feel so alive
So alive
To better men, the one's who gave it away
I feel it all the time
And I'll carry it
That weight never bothered me
It was mine to gain
It was mine to lose
You were mine to lose,
You were mine to lose
You were mine to lose (mine)

Forever in Sound
04:36

Part of love, a sigh
A part of your life
Welcome to the other side
We've got everything you need
Hide alone inside
Call your love, your alibi
Only you can go
Our habits die so slow
Before I say goodnight again for good
You've got time for lies, to keep me down
To bring me back to my knees
Before I write it all off again
Don't wanna be reminded of the rain
I'm in love with yesterday
I'm never gonna live it down
Whenever I'm down
Forever in sound
Won't you come down here with me?
Let's listen to the other side
I tried, I tried, I tried
To get it back

Never Run Away
03:46

|

Growing up feels hard
All of a sudden
One night turns to another
So quickly, so surreal
I am mourning the loss of me
So early, a broken pinwheel
The fireflies keep me in time
Ooooo, I'll never run away
Ooooo, I'll never run away from you
You give me a reason
To stick around, to stay true
To keep my heart in tune
Kicking and screaming "just give us one more beautiful fucking chorus"
I felt too tired for this
Pinned down with shame
I've given up so much
That now it's got me thinking again, living again
I was always gonna get back up
Back for one more round
Dreams of you carry me down

A Lot to Say
03:31
|
|

If there's two ways to say I don't care
I'll tell you how
In the here and the now
Even our ghosts have their dreams
Who am I to say its full circle now
Open surprises
Unspoken compromises
Lost in the distance I created
I'll lose myself yet again
It doesn't end this way
Yes I've still got a lot to say, oh
Leave the words to dance and to play
It doesn't end this way
Life is life, cheers to another day, oh
Tell me you won't ever let me go
A season's tide
Swept me away
From yesterday
Apologize for the mistakes
I never made
To say you'll never love again
And never wanting for more
Life is pulling on my sleeves
To places i already know

So it Goes
03:30
|
|

It's easier to pretend
That you don't have a say
Letting go was far from easy
It just had to be clean
No one could ever know just how it really felt To me
To witness yourself as you were
So it goes
Falling out like an angry star
So we go, on again
And so, we glow, like neon angels
I stole the night and drove through old love
Moving on again to find use for my heart
Romantic optimistic
Pick up the pieces that never landed far from me or the truth
I kept them all, tight and close
I'll change them all, fuck it all

A Reason's Touch
03:17
|
|

You never mentioned you threw it away
I never watched you phone it in so hard
After all, it had to be this way
You planned this too late
I left a whirlwind of a past
I feel again, the start of it all
It's gripped me like thunder
I'm bound to you
To go back for you
Am I everything to you
Now I wonder
I don't make time for myself
I give it all to you
I wanna stay a little while
Explain away all my grandest mistakes
Reach in fear, a reason's touch
The one that came in like a funeral
You can't explain
It was always in front of us
Like two rings of fire

Another Day in Bed
03:39
|
|

It's sinking in
There's a cliff side on my bed
I'm falling down
And I'm caving in
To the things that I can't control in my head
I'm sitting here ignoring my phone
I wish I wasn't feeling so damn low
Cus everything I have, I'd give to you
From a pebble to a stone
My problems always seem to grow
Cus everything i had, I gave to you
I'm giving in
There's a riptide in my head
I'm pulled away
And I'm dying to
Wake up for a rising sun and love
I'm sitting here ignoring my phone
I wish I wasn't feeling so damn low
Cus everything I have, I'd give to you
From a pebble to a stone
My problems always seem to grow
Cus everything i had, I gave to you
The dreamers alibi
The reasons why
Its plain to see
I am lost
For the first time
But it'll be the last time
It's cause and effect
I'm sitting here ignoring my phone
I wish I wasn't feeling so damn low
Cus everything I have, I'd give to you
From a pebble to a stone
My problems always seem to grow
Cus everything i had, I gave to you

Why Do I?
04:32
|
|
||
|
From line to line
I shift my stance
I'm here to catch you
I'm there to close the door
Ask if everything is fine
I think we should press play
We need to run it back
I missed the part
Where I burned it all down
Remind myself
That I still had free will
What's it gonna take
To see I'm doing just fine, just fine
I said I had it all, and I fucking meant it
So why do I feel so stuck?
Why do I feel so stuck
Why do I
A static angel
Claiming it was all in good fun
Break my fall with lavender sheets
White noise to wrap us up tight
You've got all of me now
I never want to turn back

I don't know what I'll find
But it's you that I need
Go ahead, take your time
I can't believe
As simple as a twisted knife
You'll never get very far
Careful of where you land
A faded point of view
I've been waiting
For a love like her
Love like
Falling snow
In a town I know
From so long ago
So long ago
So long ago
I don't think that I'll hide
Cus it's you that believed
Go ahead, take the climb
I was so naive
As simple as a way of life
You'll always kiss every scar
Careful, try to understand
You made me feel new

The Fool
04:40
|
|

I didn't want you to fake it all
Or to break inside
I've gotta say
To every crashing ocean wave
I'm the one to take
There'll be troubles
There'll be wolves
But that won't stop my love for you
I'd give it all, give it all to you
It's what I'd do, it's all for you
I'm falling in love again
With the life that I lost
No I can't stop
And I won't stop
I'm a fool on the run again
Cast revive on myself please
No I can't stop
And I won't stop
I didn't want you to blame yourself
Or to feel that guilt
I've gotta say
To every unmade bed
That's okay for today
There'll be troubles
There'll be wolves
But that won't stop my love for you
I'd give it all, give it all to you
It's what I'd do, it's all for you
