Close to Me
04:13
|
|||
Lately I, I've been trying
To get you off my record and off my mind
Running in place, I've memorized the ceiling
You know I'm too proud to call it quitting time
The years that change a person, the times that make it worth it
All those nights, I thought that meant me
Lord knows we danced around it, he knows we never found it
We never could decide who should lead
Close, I want you close to me
Close enough to push you away
Close, I want you close to me
I won't be surprised when you don't stay
Baby I, I've been lying
Telling you to get on out of here
And when you go I've been crying
Cuz I feel so much better when you're here
The years that change a person, the times that make it worth it
All those nights, I thought that meant me
Lord knows we danced around it, he knows we never found it
We never could decide who should lead
Close, I want you close to me
Close enough to push you away
Close, I want you close to me
I won't be surprised when you don't stay
I can't trust how I'm feeling when I'm feeling this way
It's late, I'm lonely and I'm wishing that I told you you could stay
Would you stay....

Second Guessing
02:52
|
|||
Second guessing, I ain’t learned my lesson yet
When you left me, I was a mess you had me backing down
Here’s my confession, so spin those hard feeling around
I hate how we left it, you did me wrong and I was way too proud
I don’t wanna feel that way again
You never said it was the end
Left you alone, you don’t come home
I - I don’t wanna feel that way again
I’m overstepping cuz I don’t take rejection well, no
It makes me nervous, but I’m giving in, learning to let things go
So repeat your question, cuz I always question myself
But it’s me who’s willing, I go alone and you go wander trails
I don’t wanna feel that way again
You never said it was the end
Left you alone, you don’t come home
I - I don’t wanna feel that way again
You and I both know what you never said
You and I both know what you really meant
And I won’t say goodbye like that
I don’t wanna feel that way again
You never said it was the end
Left you alone, you don’t come home
I'll never feel that way again

Starting Over
03:44
|
|||
Another night I lie awake
Thinking about all the things I don’t say
Placing bets on chances I won’t take
If I could only let myself have my way
Starting over feels a lot like giving up
It feels a lot like giving in
It feels a lot like being lost
Starting over feels a lot like a mistake
It feels a lot like one more thing I can’t explain
I keep trying, I keep standing up
If I never will that be enough
I keep asking what it is I really want
Do I need people clapping for me or just your love
Starting over feels a lot like giving up
It feels a lot like giving in
It feels a lot like being lost
Starting over feels a lot like a mistake
It feels a lot like one more thing I can’t explain
Oh….
Starting over feels a lot like giving up
It feels a lot like giving in
It feels a lot like being lost
Starting over feels a lot like a mistake
It feels a lot like one more chance and a leap of faith

One Way
03:20
|
|||
Been wasting my day sleeping in and staying up late
Lord I feel it now
It’s got me wondering how I’m gonna pay for things
But I’m fighting my way out of all the darkened hallways that I’ve been lost down
Oh, stumbling round but I think I see the light of day
My hearts beating loud
I follow that sound
I’m gonna find my way back one way or another
Oh, one way or another
It’s gonna be alright
I think finally forgot all the things that I thought I had figured out
Oh, don’t look now but I threw the map away
And I’ll jump at chances without knowing where I’ll end up
Cause one thing I’ve learned
Is it will be way worse if I do things your way
My hearts beating loud
I follow that sound
I’m gonna find my way back one way or another
Oh, one way or another
It’s gonna be alright
I’m gonna find my way back
Oh one way or another
It’s gonna be alright

Oh Song
03:32
|
|||
When I play your favorite song
Still think about you honey
I think about your mouth
All the secrets you keep
Oh Oh Oh
You always had this way
You always took things too far
I almost got away
Without a scratch or a scar
Oh Oh Oh
Cross your heart and say goodbye
Love burns out between the lies
Now that the smoke has cleared
I’m standing tall on my feet
When I see your face around
No, you’re not happy for me
Oh Oh Oh
Cross your heart and say goodbye
Love burns out between the lies
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh
Oh Oh Oh

All Fall Down
03:14
|
|||
Hey, how fast can you run
Wait for me
Don’t you need anyone
All this time I thought that we were building something strong
All it takes was one swift move, parts of it are gone
We all fall down
We all fall down
Hey, how fast can you turn
Wait, don’t you bleed anymore
All this time I thought that we were building something strong
All it takes was one swift move, parts of it are gone
We all fall down
All fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
Down

Make Me
04:34
|
|||
Won’t someone make me, make me believe
Can’t someone shake me, shake me free
Ohhh, you were right beside me running
Ohhh, don’t say you saw it coming… please
When you really let go, get up off your knees
You can prove what don’t show, you’ll see what I mean
Ohhh, you were right beside me running
Ohhh, don’t say you saw it coming… please
Cause I followed your steps, I thought that was best for me
We’re broken and sore, this ain’t working no more for me
It ain’t working for me
Can’t someone make me feel that way again
Can’t someone shake me back to who I was then
Ohhh, you were right beside me running
Ohhh, don’t say you saw it coming… please

We All Need Love
03:26
|
|||
I’ve been dialing your number
Haven’t picked up in months
Guess that’s some kind of answer
Still don’t feel like enough
And I won’t go willing and you’re far too at home by yourself
Still I can’t stop feeling like maybe somehow I could help
Think I learned from your anger
Watching you disappear
Friends can turn out like strangers
Say what you wanna hear
If you don’t stop running, well nothing can ever take hold
And I won’t stop pushing but I won’t feel when you let go
Ahhh, all of that time
Is that all that it was?
Ahhh, some birds they don’t fly
Some hearts don’t feel love, but we all need love
We all need love
I always notice what’s missing
Angels looking away
You always filled up the silence
Now there’s nothing to say
Ahhh, all of that time
Is that all that it was?
Ahhh, some birds they don’t fly
Some hearts don’t feel love, but we all need love
We all need love
I’ll hold out hope, I’ll keep a wish for you, speak it out in the dark
I know you’re gone, can’t get far enough away, but I won’t take back any love
Cause we all need love
We all need love

Set You Free
03:17
|
|||
Slow like honey, gonna love gonna leave
Gonna take you please honey, take what you please
I don’t ask for nothing from you
Give what you got, I don’t care what you do
I’m not counting on you man, I’m counting you out
Don’t ask my forgiveness, you don’t need it now
I know it meant more to me
I’m setting you free
Free
It ain’t for the money, no it ain’t for the views
It ain’t for the faint of heart, honey it chooses you
Gonna keep you up in the still of the night
Lead you down the rabbit hole, keep you chasing that light
I’m not counting on you man, I’m counting you out
Don’t ask my forgiveness, you don’t need it now
I know it meant more to me
I’m setting you free
Free
Ohhhh
I’m not counting on you man, I’m counting you out
Don’t ask my forgiveness, you don’t need it now
I know it meant more to me
I’m setting you free
Free

Cut My Losses
03:03
|
|||
It always felt easy back when we were young
I never thought twice just gave away my love
Now I’m stuck, I hold it in
I always think too much, I wanna start again
I wanna cut loose baby
I wanna cut my hair
I wanna cut my losses and get out of here
Let’s get out of here and go
Ohhhh Anywhere Ohhhh Anywhere
No one knows us here, we’re free to choose
No one left to please but me and you
Spin me round, hold me tight
Let’s forget everything else tonight
I wanna cut loose baby
I wanna cut my hair
I wanna cut my losses and get out of here
Let’s get out of here and go
Ohhhh Anywhere
Ohhhh Anywhere
Why do we take ourselves so seriously
No, that’s not how I want to be
I wanna cut loose baby
I wanna cut my hair
I wanna cut my losses and get out of here
Let’s get out of here
