I’m gonna give it away to you - I thought I’d hold out for something more - But I can’t wait - Don’t hold your breath - Cause I’ll be gone in the morning - These city lights have become more than I can take - And I want free…
So lets set the record straight - Everyday is a storm that’s waiting to strike - Every night is a dream but not real - Life is not what it may seem - So get off your ass and pull your face on out of the dirt - A few steps back and you'll see that this is worth the heartache and the tears
And the record plays on and on - This is our ticket somewhere - Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home
Go to college and learn something nobody needs - It's 3 a.m. have you found a place to sleep away your makeup and the lies that you tried - Open your legs if you think your future's inside - I see you blushing do you have something to hide those bruises on your neck this time
And the record plays on and on - This is our ticket somewhere - Is this gonna get me somewhere far away from home
Say hello to the best few years of a lifetime spent in pursuit of love - We are crashing everything on this town tonight
I’m gonna give it away to you - I thought I’d hold out for something more - But I can’t wait

One check one love – How many times can we watch him crumble – Histrionics repeats itself all over again - I’m down on thought you say - You're becoming so the same - If it were up to me you're gone - I've been dying to get it into you somehow

Rock My Body

Go - You move - We go - Now don’t go - You move - We don’t - Now go - Now don’t you move - We won’t go - Now don’t go go go…
I thought the way that she moved meant the way that she tasted - I could rip the seams right through her lips - A captivating experience that left me here with an intoxicating kiss - But tonight I’m setting all my memories aside
So why don’t we trace the footsteps back into our past with the ones we've lost - Too many bad mistakes were made - No one should have to take the fall for it - When it's our life to live
Go - You move me - Go - Now don’t go - You move we don’t - Now go - Now don’t you move - We won’t go - Now don’t go go
Found out the way the that he moved - Found out the way that he tasted - Then he ripped the seams right from her lips - Never thinking the first time that they met - Would be the last she saw of him
Is glamour an issue while balancing reason - Are we all waiting to destroy the things in life we are made of - A blessing we're tasting and come so fond to recreate - I can feel the expansion resembling patterns disguising everything in what we have to relate - And it's all for this one dance
I am watching over you from the stars – Don’t be scared I know exactly where you are - And there's a piece of me and it's burning in your heart - Even death could never tear us apart

Two separate points - Oh I've made clear - You can cast ashore I'll be praying for you - My infatuations grow as knowledge begins to shift - Why are you so terrified of living your own life
You'll be catching us tonight - I know you'll be calling in tonight - And still be down about tomorrow - When you think about yesterday you said “Oh how times can wear so thin” - Who can just give up like that - Oh no
My favorite part of getting asked a lot of questions is to have a real start on preparing yourself for something else - What's inside - Discover what someone has to offer - When your worlds collide tonight

In The Set

Sneaking slowly through the night - Outside the air it feels like ice to you and I - So for a short time I’ll come inside - Call me crazy but just maybe I could be the one to change your mind - So take a chance - You never want to dwell on what could of been
Cause I’m taking on every chance that comes around - And every look that's thrown my way - Got to get up - Got to get up to get in and understand why we are superficially conveying life is so good at forgetting me - And where we came from
You know it's not so easy now - Everyone is scared about it - But you could never live without it - I know you want it so bad - You know I want it so bad - Can we see this through ‘til the end of hiding - It's safe to carry on - We came for what we wanted now we’re gone
Believe it I don’t want to see you go and I would appreciate a little self-control - Is this what you wanted me to say I need to know - We're just getting started here
Cause I’m taking on every chance that comes around - And every look that's thrown my way - Got to get up - Got to get off to get in and understand why we are superficially conveying life is so good at forgetting me - And where we came from
Oh my God for goodness sake - Everything that we say goes - We got one you know it - I’m more about myself than I ever thought - I’d never follow you

Case Closed

Case closed - The photograph - Fade away to what we thought would always last - So shy away - And leave all your friends behind - A turning point we’d want to end up in the sky - Case closed

Gone With The Guillotine

The storyline drug out for hours - The fixed up alibis are taking affect - Causing conflict in my mind - She somehow knew but I was careful - Put on regret and wear it everywhere I go
But I’m still buying time to confront these allegations - The hardest part of letting go - Is to do the right thing if you don’t want to - I can't figure it out my conscience is eating me alive - so give me one more chance to protest this execution
Getting back to where we started - With a bit of a pick me up - I could turn around and let you leave - Another fatal mistake letting you take all the hurt I must of made - But I’ll be gone with the guillotine for now
But I’m still buying time to confront these allegations - The hardest part of letting go - Is to do the right thing if you don’t want to - I can't figure it out my conscience is eating me alive - so give me one more chance to protest this execution
I've come here to confess and admit to everything I've done - You say you had no clue and I say your time had come - So hold your head up high to keep your neck exposed and take on all my words as I shoot an arrow through your throat

Lo
02:51
|
|||
|
Reasons - Oblivious - Untrue - Always - And I’m still taking the time to find who is everything that makes me feel all right
I'll stay lo - As the moment comes to cut you off - If that's what you wanted to hear - Selfish and silent - And nothing can calm my jealous fear
Take aim at the soft and tender - Cause staring’s not supposed to hurt - Avoiding what truly matters - For better or for worse - Recall infatuation from a distance and I’ll take note to exploit our only weakness - And turn it into regret - But seeming so much different - You never gave it time to work - Now I’m face down - Unspoken - My chest ripped right open - From sunrise to nightfall - I need a place that I can hide out
I'll stay lo - As the moment comes to cut you off - If that's what you wanted to hear - Selfish and silent - And nothing can calm my jealous fear – I’ll stay lo - Take aim at the soft and tender - Cause starring is not supposed to hurt - Avoiding what truly matters - For better or for worse

Valentine's Delay

The clock is running on a time I cannot set - And I need to feel important - Listen up I gotta get this off my chest - Call this a final warning - I’m so tired but I cannot fall asleep - So hungry but I cannot bring myself to eat
I’m holding on to what I wanted way back when - The emotion is gone - Is it the way it should have been - The stories are drawn - Do we erase or just fill in all the blanks that are long - It's a fabricated mission
I never said that I wanted to be saved - Pass the shovel here I am to help you dig my own grave - And I cannot wash away this scent - Cause I’m down and pinned - In a position I never wanted into anyway
All I got to give to get to gain is time and a little frustration - You set yourself up for this stop she says - Its too late because I already finished off the poison
Hey pretty baby I saw that you liked his smile - You know that it takes a while - Take some risks and I don’t think I could ever get another chance like - With the murderous taste upon my lips never really made much sense and such a gentle sin is this - Made up for time we had spent - Overdue in a place we never knew and in a place we've never been - I’d rather be alone and love to be forgotten
I never said that I wanted to be saved - Pass the shovel here I am to help you dig my own grave - And I cannot wash away this scent cause I’m down and pinned in a position I never wanted into anyway

Tonight I’ll leave the window open - To anyone who wants to come inside - Those words you left unspoken - Were covered up by an out of order sign me up to hold you in my arms all night - I won’t say much but I'll show you how I feel
She opened up the door walked out onto the floor - The faint scent of her hair had me ready for more - A conversation like this should never exist - About leaving home and relationships - I’m falling fast - Slow it down try and relax - You're feeling trapped so take what I said - Take it all back
Tonight I’ll leave the window open - To anyone who wants to come inside - Those words you left unspoken - Were covered up by an out of order sign me up to hold you in my arms all night - I won’t say much but I'll show you how I feel
Well I woke up today with the promise you made and this smile on my face that I won’t break - With each flex of my wrist and my hands on your hips - This kiss on your lips that you wont miss
I’m watching you close tonight
Save your poor excuses for your friends - You know you wanted this - You know you needed it - For all those times we felt like just being ourselves it wasn’t enough - Open up your eyes and see that you're all I need

Circle of Death
02:43

Once placed upon a group of repeats - Those individuals make my time - So unworthy and impressed - How silent you are - Then the lights discovering what could only hide for so long - After end of week you know that we'll be gone - We run this game and we need to escape
I’m over that way of communicating - Over and around everyone who’s anyone -
I could say I can wait but what would that mean - Where would I be - Are you still listening to me
Oh tethered heart - Of the words you've grown to starve - The world is overrated where you are - Very simple, unimpressed, and we're growing up so fast - Now the lights discovering what could only hide for so long - After end of week you know that we'll be gone - We run this game and we need to escape

Did you think this could happen - Did you think you were warm - Holding my body for ransom - Is just an idea to try and even the score - A habit so hard to break - I'm planning my big escape - Did you think this could happen - My body falls to the floor - And if I get put to rest - This is my last request - That life goes on - Don’t ever sell yourself for something you'll regret
We’re building this higher and higher we go - Like a crash-course through the rain - Where do we lose control - I'm waiting on a signal from the top of the world - Is anybody out there
You can’t fight the feeling - What were we thinking - You can’t fight the feeling you get from fading out - What were we thinking - Cause I’ve come too far to still get shot-down
We’re building this higher and higher we go - Like a crash-course through the rain - Where do we lose control - I'm waiting on a signal from the top of the world - Is anybody out there
Waiting on a resolution - Try to take control
(Take chance on the ones you lose you do and they'll just keep on laughing - Take chance on the ones you do you lose and we'll just keep on making it out)

Pace Yourself
04:09

You can’t write the same song over again - It's in the same key - Over again
Because we're doing so good - Making up for miles - Just a little while like you would - Underestimating you know you think we’re doing so good - I’m glad to be a part of the glass that you placed upon your withered heart - Encased and left for danger - On a race to the road on the way to apathy
It’s life’s little letdowns and spontaneity
