You don't quite know,
Yesterdays gone and tomorrows growing old, I know
And sometimes, strangers stay strange and then they change our lives
Forever

Beating
03:51
|

|
If I can hold on long enough to figure out an answer
Then I might realise the world
But truth be told, I know I’ve got a heart but I’m not sure if it’s beating
Cause I see long past the dawn
You don’t quite know
Yesterdays gone and tomorrows growing old, I know
But sometimes
Strangers stay strange and then they change our lives, forever
As my mind shuts down
My eyes stay open and my ears don’t hear a sound, not a voice
But lately I’ve found
The voice in my head is the only thing that’s keeping me from falling down
(and I)
If I can hold on long enough to figure out an answer
(Then I)
But truth be told, I know I’ve got a heart but I’m not sure if it’s beating
(Cause I)
(And you could never say, I wanna let you go, I want to leave this place and never come back home, cause I don’t
But on a different day, the things we wanna know, it cuts do deep, all the flesh off the bone, cause I don’t)

Standing In Line

I’m standing in line
I know it’s a long shot, but baby you’re right
At least for now
I know I’ve been gone now for quite some time
To figure it out
And every dark memory I’ll leave behind
Your world isn’t even close to mine
Your eyes could light up even the darkest sky
Ill open up to you, this lonely road
But I’ll let it go
We’ll let it go
All the way home
I’m standing in line
We’re feeling so empty but it’s alright
And every smile
It comes from your heart and your spoken mind
But what I know
Is, all the good days are kept inside
My heart will bend, it will break for you
You give your warmth in the coldest room
Ill open up to you, this lonely road
But I’ll let it go
We’ll let it go
All the way home
And you see it, only through the window
While we feel it better than you’ll ever know
What you’re seeing me seeing through my blank eyes
Ain’t nothing to what’s going on in my mind

Live and Learn
03:52

No, I’m not giving up, yeah, I’m just moving on
Filled with regret, I’ll turn this page, I guess I’ll live and learn
So heres to letting go, of this pain and sleepless nights
The motive I’ve been lacking is on this horizon, in my sight
They always said “be strong”
Though this storm was ever long
Stars illuminate the dark
When your heart’s in piece
And I can say I’m sorry one million times
You can say you’re fine, but inside your eyes
It’s nothing but a lie
And I’ve been making promises inside my head
But the only one I’ve ever kept
I’ll never make again
And I spent so long fighting for you
But something went wrong
Now I have lost you for good
And I may have been the one to let you go
But if you didn’t already know
You’re every song I’ve wrote
But I guess I’ll say it for what it’s worth
I never gave up on you, I gave up on myself
I did it all for you
And you spent so long fighting for me
As the years went on
I have finally lost you for good
Hearts break, but not for nothing, tears fall when strength can’t pull us through
I’ll never ask for someone, cause they will not compare to you
And when I’m drained and broken, I can’t come running back to you
Even though I am smiling, Inside I’m crying for you
I know, this weights my own, but I miss you more each day
No I’m not giving up, I’m trying to move on
Filled with regret, I’ve burnt this page but I think I’ve burnt my soul
So here’s to letting go, there’s still those sleepless nights
But in the end, I made it hear without you
This is life

How am I supposed to know better? This is all I know
Run away as far as I can, but mentally I don’t
And we’ve lost a lot but learnt so much In ways we can’t explain
I wouldn’t trade my place with you not even for a day
I’m a fan of punk rock, sports and getting drunk with my friends
When it comes to caring, I will seem to lose interest
And now, all along, they said stay young but we want to grow old
Never came to realise, they were right in what they told
It seems that the rules change
But the game will always stay the same
Misguided waiting
A lot of plans made, suffered with the time waste
But I don’t know, I‘m lost inside your voice
But I should go and continue making noise

Chaser

We used to walk these streets with greater excitement and full of happiness
With the friends we thought we’d never lose, the ones we thought we never forget
Setting goals we’d strive upon, you’ve got a dream, a dream bigger than the last
Now the world is moving on and I’m getting quite scared
Chasing the forever’s, the has beens, the “what will never be the same”
Trying to live our lives the same way we used to live them yesterday
Remember that perfect place? If you get a chance, try wipe that smile off my face
Cause it will scar you for the rest of your life. And I
Hope you know, gods vicious game, play by the rules, for someone else to break
And they fall, for what you’ve caused but could’ve stopped
Without even knowing at all
So here’s to everyone, and never growing up
To lever letting go, and mend the broken
Together all as one, we’ll forever be the young
One less lonely night, we’ll mend the broken
A world apart, but in our hearts, you’ll see something worth saving
Maybe it’s not in me, but I’m feeling it lately
Soon we’ll all have to fall, its part of living
But when it comes down to this, it’s who find their feet

Sinking Feeling
04:07
|

|
Each day’s a different day, it’s all the same
Believe me and you’ll never know
The way the seasons change, with time and place
I think about you every day
No one seems to know how it falls
Apart in every little way
And all I want is for you to hold on
You’ve got a sinking feeling
Your smile and your heart is gone
You don’t know how the best of us have gone on for so long
And I know you feel so lost, shattered alive
It’s hard to stay strong with every minute to hide
But that’s just the way it is tonight, survive
This house feels so lost, so abandoned
I hear the whispers in the walls
The street felt stable but now it’s broken
And all I have is memories
Lost for words and in awhile
Breathe the air of true denial
And all I want is for you to hold on

Trev's Song
03:50

|
The day, I remember it so clear
The pain in your voice, your face was filled with fear
Then we all got burned
Maybe for awhile, our prayers will be unanswered
Our hope will die like flies, our memories never broken, he said
Ill always be your shadow, everywhere you go
Always by your side, until the end of time
You know, the stories will never replace
The hole in our hearts that you’ve made
The things that we still had to say
The places we still had to make
And every time, your name leaves a shiver down my spine
Your laugh’s on repeat in my mind
I know you would say
Ill always be your shadow, everywhere you go
Always by your side, until the end of time
And when time has gone, you’ll come back to your son
Our scars can fade away, our hearts can come undone
Somehow the tears in your eyes managed to build a wall,
Which made you unbreakable
Somehow, somehow the tears in your eyes managed to build a wall
Which made you untouchable
Ill always be your shadow, every where you go
Always by your side, until the end of time
And now time has gone, you’ve come back to your son
Our scars have fade away, our hearts have come undone

A World Apart
04:04

Light that fire drum man, throw it in and watch it burn
Cause when this fire’s out, it sparks me and you
Now when I look back on those days, I could kill for you
It’s funny how its ends the same way it began
Don’t fall asleep tonight
Dreaming of the days you left behind
Cause this I promise, when you wake, you’ll find yourself lost in your lonely mind
Cause all we want’s to feel alive
We would stay up most nights, somehow we would last the day
Your love inspired me to be something
But as we grew older, I would push that love away
Such a price I’ve paid, yet not saved
Don’t fall asleep tonight
Dreaming of the days you left behind
Cause this I promise, when you wake, you’ll find yourself lost in your lonely mind
Cause all we want’s to feel alive
Don’t go, I need you here right now
I know, you’d never let me down
We’ve grown almost worlds apart
Who knew that you would always have my heart?
I fall asleep at night
Dreaming of the girl I left behind
It makes me wonder, if I stayed around to catch every tear from her eyes
Would it make me feel alive?
