Better Off Being Alone

There's a fire in our eyes
And it's keeping us alive
The room keeps spinning
The room keeps spinning
And we've lost all feeling
We've lost all feeling now
And i thought i had something wrong
But it was you all along
We kept trying oh
We kept trying
But we never should have
Ever started to lying to
Ourselves
We could live
We could die
But it's just a matter of time
Till we quit
Living a lie
Where we're going
We don't know
An open road
But no where to go
But I think we're better
Off being alone
We could take everything and run
I know we could out run everyone
And if we know what we could be
Why shouldn't we set ourselves free
And i know it's wrong, but it feels so right
So just stick around for one more night
You're just a temporary bliss
You're like a poison on my lips
I think we're better
Think we're better off

I saw this coming from miles away
But something told me that i needed to stay
Got all dressed up just to take you out
It turns out that lying is what you're about
And i thought you'd changed
Now i'll never look at you the same way
You can stay with him
Cause i've been sleeping with the lights on
Waiting for your call home, but i'm
Sick of this
Cause i'd rather live without you and be alone
A few drinks and one liners just to take you home
There's 3 words that i can't say just to get you alone
And i thought you'd changed
Now i'll never look at you the same way
You can stay with him
Cause i've been sleeping with the lights on
Waiting for your call home, but i'm
Sick of this
Cause i'd rather live without you and be alone
Woah

I Need You

She wanted all she could get
But she couldn't make the promises
She said she'd live up to her father
She said she's headed down south
To the country, pure America
She's had enough of Midwest nonsense
She could be everything to me
She could be everything I need
I need you
And everything that you do
While everybody's getting
Down, down, down
You make me wanna
Stick around, round, round
My head’s spinning round
I want a little bit more
Let's make this better than before
My head’s spinning round
I couldn't make her stay and
She said she'd write on the weekends
I've never gotten just one letter
Thank god I'm not sentimental
And if there's one thing I'm sure of
I could do this forever
I just can’t seem
To feel anything
When I’m around her
Wish she was all mine
She’s got me up all night
Just to find her
I found her

Left Out
03:43

Step down this time
You're not allowed around here anymore
You're not a soldier in this war
You're just a fighter waiting for
You're turn to strike
And i heard you're all talk and nothing else
You probably think so high of yourself
You lie so much there's nothing left to sell
This time is where it ends
You're running out of lies
So baby spill your guts
Come on now what you got
Just give it up
Give it up
And you're the talk of this town
Isn't that what you wanted?
I'm sick of all these games
I can't just play pretend
And now it's obvious
That you're caving in
Caving in
And no one liked you anyways
But now
You're the one left out
Get to the point
You make sick with every word you say
Your stories just a meaningless cliché
Thank god no one believes it anyway
And i heard you're talking shit about me to someone else
It's funny cause you've got nothing to tell
You're only ever thinking of yourself

Time Won't Stop
04:09

I know we all remember this place
We would forget about the world for one whole day
Am i the only one who's changed
Or is everyone else just not the same
I thought i had it all figured out
I cover up my scars with lies and doubts
We swore we'd always try and stick around
And now It's hard to say goodbye without breaking down
This is our story
Time won't stop
Life goes on
We make the most of each moment till the next one comes
Seasons change
New friends become old
We live and we die just for our story to be told
This old town's turned to grey
And all of us still here are just fading away
And i wish that we could stay
But nothing ever lasts
So it's time for us to say
This is our story
Time won't stop
Life goes on
We make the most of each moment till the next one comes
Seasons change
New friends become old
We live and we die just for our story to be told
There comes a day
When we fall
When there's nothing left to say
We fall

Summer Sweat

Summer sweat in June
You washed away all of the second guessings
The undertow consumes
Everything we kept under the covers
Now
Now
All i ever wanted was for you to be my home
You were something stable
I never even wanted for us to get this old
We'll stay young forever
Promise you won't leave
And i won't say anything
All i ever wanted was for you to be my home
Yeah
August came too soon
We walked the line too long
Just like a tightrope
And no one ever knew
The promises we made
Under the covers
Now
Now
We don't bleed the same blood do we
Cause promises mean something to me
Stop telling me the same old story
Now

Missed Reality
03:05
|

Not everyone gets a second chance
In life
But when you do you've gotta make it last
Keep it alive
I know everyone's a critic and everyone's a saint
But we'll make history
Cause Its what we're dreaming of
Just don't go
If only for the night you're staying
It's still better than being alone
You're so cold
You had your chance so quit complaining
You thought you'd be better off alone
In a missed reality
I never knew that i could live
On my own
But i've never been happier
Now that you're
Gone
Because nothing ever worked and
We never would agree
On almost anything
Cause that's what you meant to me
We never could agree
On anything, but this is what we need
You were never meant for me
Neither you or i could see
What eventually we'd be
So far from missed reality

When the Walls Came Down
04:08
|

Who would've guessed
It's never the lesser of two evils
I guess that it's time for me to go
And promise you things
I never could afford
And every time i did you just ask me for more
I swear i tried my best
That doesn't mean that it worked
When the walls came down you always swore it didn't hurt
But never the less
I hope you're doing alright
A quarter past 3, i still with you were mine
I hope you know i'm not doing too fine
Everyone says i'm out of my mind
For not letting go
Of a sliver of hope
I've never been one to live and let die
I only pray you'll never leave me behind
I'm not letting go
Just give me something to hold
Honestly i
I should've seen this coming
I knew at first sight i'd never wanna let you go
But as time slipped away we went our seperates ways
I guess promises don't mean a thing anymore
I always loved you more
Even times when it hurt
And when you fell out love i didn't know what was worse
That you were kissing his lips
Like you didn't even care
About the boy you left at home who still wishes you were

You're 18
And crazy
You get the boys on their knees
He's bad news
You're confused
And you've had enough
Of guys like these
He's obsessed
You know that
He plays along so carefully
When you leave then
He resets
It's all a game now can't you see
You want him gone
Breakthroughs
And tattoos
To make him try to forget you
He'll try but
It's no use
He's knows he'll never forget you
He's reckless
You're restless
He likes the chase
But you don't see
He's in love
And you've caught up
He won't come down that easily
He's in love
But you've caught up

Letting Go
05:01
|
|||
I've been wasting my whole life
Skipping stones and waiting for my time to come
Always there on the sidelines
I always knew i wanted to be someone
But every time i got closer to what
I had dreamed
I was too scared to take the leap
We're moving on
And letting go
To everything that we know
We're saying goodbye
But not for long
It's not the end of the road
Yet
I've been down to the bottom
You gotta get real high to know when you've been low
I keep my eyes on tomorrow
Cause the truth is
You never know what's to come
But i know one thing
That's always been true
It's that i'm a fool
For not taking the leap
Now what should i do
I just need a little more time
A little more confidence in me
I just need a little more time
I need some room to breathe
