I've Been Waiting
04:32

I don't know
What you want from me
But I can guess
It's nothing I want from you
I can't tell
When your pupils swell
If you're in love with me
Or if I block your view
I've been thinking 'bout you
Every day since you've been gone
All the time we spent together
I've been waiting so long
Finding patience in my fear
That you'll say you don't remember
Don't you say you don't
Wake up wake up life is waiting
Outside your door
I'm waiting too
I'm waiting to hear from you
I can't say if I've been bad or great
But you can tell me
I promise to hear it from you
I've been thinking 'bout you
Every day since you've been gone
All the time we spent together
I've been waiting so long
Finding patience in my fear
That you'll say you don't remember
All the time we spent together
Don't you say you don't remember
All the time we spent together
Don't you say you don't remember
All the time we spent together
Don't you say you don't remember
All the time we spent together
Don't you say you don't remember
All the time we spent together
Don't you say you don't remember
All the time we spent together
Don't you say you don't
Don't you say you don't
Don't you say you don't remember

Love
What a beautiful smile you have
Is it the same white grin you gave me the first time we met
Or has it since been leaving its former shape as scars on the side of your face
When did that happen?
When did that happen?
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be sad anymore
I just wanna feel the summer sun
Upon my skin again
I just wanna know when do I
Ever begin again
Love
What beautiful eyes you have
Are they the same wide greens you gave me this time last year
Or are they slowly easing downward every time the colors change
When did that happen
When did that happen
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be sad anymore
I'll open up and let the rain come in
And wash out the man I've been
I just wanna know when do I
Ever begin again
Every night you're dreaming
You're thinking 'bout that feeling
How it feels so good to feel
You can't wake up cause believin'
Is so much better than this season
And you can't find what is right
So you wait another night
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be sad anymore
I just wanna feel the summer sun
Upon my winter skin
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be sad anymore
I'll open and let the rain come in
And wash out the man I've been
Then you can come and rest your summer head upon my winter skin
I just wanna see your eyes again like when we first began

Still Bleeding
04:11

Tell me
Tell me is it worth it
Spending all your days and nights
Trying to be perfect
Tell me
Tell me why you're hurting
You're breathing in the coldest air
While the sun's still burning
Is this the end
Or just the beginning
Are you afraid
Of losing or winning
I've been trying to think about you in a different light
But I can't seem shake that feeling
That I've lost my heart
But I am still bleeding
Tell me
What you think I'm deserving of
Is it love is it love is it love is it love
Or is it the end
Or just the beginning
Am I afraid
Of losing or winning
I've been trying to think about you in a different light
But I can't seem shake that feeling
That I've lost my heart
But I am still bleeding
Tell me
Where to find a purpose
Something to make the blood flow
Back to the surface
Is this the end
Or just the beginning
Am I afraid
Of losing or winning
I've been trying to think about you in a different light
But I can't seem shake that feeling
That I've lost my heart
But I am still bleeding
I am still bleeding
I am still bleeding

'99 Toyota
04:01
|

|
Monday morning,
I saw a '99 Toyota
It reminded me of all the memories I have with ya
I'm sure by now
That you got yourself a different model
Well I still picture you
Driving 'round with the windows down
Don't you know
I still think about you often
Don't you know
That I miss you all the time
Can't we go
Back to when we both were younger
And I'd tell you who you've always been to me
I still remember
Heavy talks beneath the stars
And singing loud songs
From the back seat of that car
I doubt you know
All the good you've done for me
But just remember
You've enhanced who I could be
Don't you know
I still think about you often
Don't you know
That I miss you all the time
Can't we go
Back to when we both were younger
And I'd tell you who you've always been to me
I would tell you who you've always been to me
Don't you know
I still think about you often
Don't you know
I still miss you every day
Don't you know
If I could go back to when we were younger
I would d tell you who you've always been to me
I've been wishing
If you see a broken down old Chevy
I hope it means the same
If you're out there thinking 'bout me

Sixth Grade
04:55
|
|||
|
I didn't like sixth grade that much
All my friends weren't friends they were barely enough
Tried to fit in and do the best I could
But man it's getting me down just thinkin' 'bout it now
All those years looking down at the ground
Trying to remember what my mom and dad taught me about
Tried to treat 'em like Jesus or something
I hope it doesn't feel the same
I hope it doesn't hurt the same for you
I hope it doesn't feel the same
I hope it doesn't hurt the same for you
High school was a breeze but not so much mentally
I worked hard and stayed clean met your mom when I was sixteen
But even now with people around who tell me they care
I keep putting it down
They didn't know me in sixth grade
I hope it doesn't feel the same
I hope it doesn't hurt the same for you
I hope it doesn't feel the same
I hope it doesn't hurt the same for you
Sitting in the hall in a hospital gown
Shaky hands praying to God that you'd come out alright
Praying that your mom would be alright too
Hearing you cry for the very first time
Your tears met mine and yet still running through my mind
What will you think of sixth grade
I hope it doesn't feel the same
I hope it doesn't hurt the same for you
I hope it doesn't feel the same
But baby if it hurts the same
I'll be here for you
I'll be here for you

Never Look Back
04:04
|
|||
|
Pour some water on the open flame
The heat I felt was almost gone anyway
I had thought by now that I'd be over this
But December's come and gone and I can't feel anything
And I would love to try
To never look back, never look back, never look back
But I'm afraid in time
That you'll take it all back, take it all back, take it
Grab your keys and hop into the car
We'll drive until salvation doesn't seem that far
I had thought by that now that morning would be here again
But the moonlight still guides us home
Still I would love to try
To never look back, never look back, never look back
But I'm afraid in time
That you'll take it all back, take it all back, take it
When morning comes
Do you think it feels
The weight of the night
Come up from behind
Or does it ever feel alright
Will we ever feel alright
And I would love to try
To never look back, never look back, never look back
But I'm afraid in time
That you'll take it all back, take it all back, take it

Stuck In Time
03:40
|
|||
|
Looking back
Everything seemed simpler in your parents car
Every night
With the headlights on we'd ride out chasing stars
You'd say blue skies are on the way
Somewhere down the line
But my rear view still seems to say
We've left them far behind
And there I go again
Another sleepless night thinking 'bout yesterday
Tomorrow's coming fast so maybe I'll be late
I'm thinking 'bout forever feeling stuck in time
Looking back
Maybe I wasn't the best for you after all
But thinking ahead
Maybe I'm just not the best for anyone
And there I go again
I thought a dozen times about drinking today
Cause I can't drown my sorrows while the music plays
I'm thinking 'bout forever feeling stuck in time
And there I go again
I'm breaking every window just so I can breathe
If tomorrow never comes maybe I'll finally sleep
I'm thinking 'bout forever feeling stuck in time
And there I go again
Another sleepless night thinking 'bout yesterday
Tomorrow's coming fast so maybe I'll be late
I'm thinking 'bout forever feeling stuck in time

Not Okay
04:01
|
|||
|
Waking up in the middle of night
Begins to feel more right
I can't explain it but it feels right
Life can be so hard to figure out
You play the game to rid yourself of doubt
I'm not okay
But I'm trying to get there soon
Can we forget
All the trouble I've been through
Sunlight breaks in the knick of time
It calms my wandering mind
From thinking about the rest of my life
Man, I can't wait to be older
And farther down
So I can think of the future less than now
I'm not okay
But I'm trying to get there soon
Can we forget
All the trouble I've been through
Cause it's a burden and a secret all at once
It's a problem that's been loaded like a gun
I never meant to try too hard to lie
I never meant to make it hard to smile
I'm not okay
But I'm trying to get there soon
Can we forget
All the trouble I've been through
I'm not okay
But I'm trying to get there soon
Can we forget
All the trouble I put you through

Sad Songs
04:11
|
|||
|
If it doesn't make you sad
Is it even art
If it's good enough to add
Did it break your heart
Oh I feel so safe
In these sad songs
Ooh isn't this depressing
Isn't this enchanting
The way it makes you feel
Ooh isn't this romantic
Isn't this electric
You're bringing yourself down, again
Does it feel just like a drug
Seeing the light fade
Do you love the shape I am
Or do you love the shape I made
I'm bleeding through your phone
I wish the world wasn't filled
With such sad songs
Ooh isn't this depressing
Isn't this enchanting
The way it makes you feel
Ooh isn't this romantic
Isn't this electric
You're bringing yourself down, again
I wish the world wasn't filled
With such sad songs
But then again I think
I'll still sing along
There's always more than just sad songs so sing something new
I wish the world wasn't filled
With my sad songs

Dreams

Lately
I've been having dreams in the daylight
Seeing my reflection in your eyes
I try
To hold you in my arms but you fall lifeless
Is the future something I can reset
If I gave you the keys could you drive me home?
I am here to take your pain in every way
I would break through heaven's gates
Just to see your face
Weightless, yet heavy like a stone
It keeps on pressing
Bending all of my bones but not breaking
If I beg and I plead could you drive me home?
I am here to take your pain in every way
I would break through heaven's gates
Just to see your face
Love won't you come
Take me home, Take me home
I am here to take your pain in every way
I would break through heaven's gates
Just to see your face again
