I leaned up to you And it reminded me of when we were Totally not together I leaned up to you And you looked at me with emerald eyes Confused, but not forever CHORUS Time keeps passing by Why do I even try? It hurts me to the core Who am I waiting for? I leaned up to you And your bushy hair got in my face It smelled like herbal essence I leaned up to you Your shoulder tensed as my head approached I knew you were resisting CHORUS I leaned up to you You didn't look, you didn't care You just let it happen You leaned up to me With a gentle sigh, we fell asleep But inside, we were beaming Or maybe I'm just dreaming
2.
No more people here tonight Cause I sure don't want them in my sight Again Isn't it time Sit alone till I get fat If another day flies by like that I swear I'll lose my mind CHORUS It's an end to all your Time together It's a living you'll get Used to now After all this time you'll Come to find this life to Be so sad Holding back this killing feeling I realized it's not appealing But It never was to me It doesn't help with what I've got I've given up, I've lost the plot Oh, well To what I'll never be CHORUS SOLO CHORUS
3.
Would You 03:29
Would you find it annoying If I ran into my room Moped for an hour Wondering what I did to you Would you tell me to shut up If I told you how I felt Remember the good times Before it went to hell CHORUS Don't leave me alone like this I know why I was wrong I just need a little patience Help me stay strong Would it hurt if I told you How you push everyone away I'll be honest like you were When you spoke to me that day Would you tell me to fuck myself When help is all you need When it's time to open up I'll let you follow my lead CHORUS SOLO CHORUS x2
4.
You're better than this But I feel like someone you won't miss When you leave me alone You don't see, but I make it known That I'm done, I think CHORUS: See me when you Come back when you Notice I'm the only one that Cared about you Listened to you Understood your problems and your Constant issues Let me dish you One thing You think I'm too nice Is that it, or should I think twice When you reach the top I'm one who won't let you drop In a bad way, I think (CHORUS) The party's over You'll never know what happened It's a wound with salt And it's all our fault You know, you know (KEY CHANGE CHORUS)
5.
8:08 02:33
I guess it's getting late And I don't feel so great I could've sworn it was just 8:08 Too much to think about So I will sit and pout And remember that there's no easy way out CHORUS Is it okay if I don't care? I'd really like to know If you go there I'm guessing I will go Nowhere But still it's 3:09 And I'm not feeling fine I'm thinking back, of things that once were mine And now they're not, you see That's my biography No one told me that this would not be free CHORUS And now it's 4:02 And I'm still feeling blue I'm wide awake thinking of what to do I could act like a child And forget life for a while And not care But that'll get me Nowhere
6.
Eyewitness 03:26
One more thing I can't find Facing down Time out of mind And you don't know me You never will It's been too long now It hurts me still Let's try again CHORUS If you'd seen what I'd been through You'd cry too You know it's true And you'll agree, if I were you It's nothing new But I'd like the view And I know I've been a brat You need a friend to love I'll help with that Just give me words and Something to say So I'll know What to convey Don't hide from me CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE CHORUS
7.
Try your best You're powerless To fix it What you mixed up Sit and wait Until your fate Is met And you let go CHORUS It could happen at any time at all It could happen at any time at all It could happen at any time at all And that's what drives me crazy Please hear me It's not what we Both wanted You flaunt it well We both know It's quid pro quo Or maybe It's tit for tat CHORUS Give me warmth From someone who'll always love me Always love, always love, always love... CHORUS x2
8.
Good 03:10
Sometimes I think I try to hard Sometimes I want to give up now Sometimes the words just can't come out Sometimes they can, but don't know how Sometimes I lose that hard-earned drive I can't believe I'm still alive Sometimes I won't believe anymore CHORUS It's all a joke it seems A life that's lost in dreams It's not insanity A cry for help in an endless sea Sometimes I lay on the ground Sometimes I start to sink too deep Sometimes I get up again Sometimes I just fall asleep Sometimes it all just sounds the same Sometimes it all just sounds the same Sometimes litanies get too old CHORUS SOLO CHORUS No need to swim upstream What's wrong with silly dreams? You just want to be free Just find the end of the endless sea
9.
Desperation 02:25
Let's do this sort of thing more often I'd like to see what happens Is this really what I want to do? Come by my house tomorrow You'll change you're mind, I know-oh This won't be what you wanted, too CHORUS Is it desperation or destiny That brought me to you and you to me? I open up to you, that's all you have to say Why can't things just go my way? Did I talk too much to you Was that creepy to do It's just exactly what I feared Will people hate me for this Instagramming pictures of our kiss Will drive my friends to think it's weird CHORUS No stopping me now Don't care anyhow CHORUS
10.
You complete the ceremony I just had a matrimony Me and my own mind It's just so instantaneous But it's not ordinary, this Feeling I've got this time No, you can't stop me now Or did I just stop twenty minutes ago Have I reached the peak of my emotional roller coaster ride tonight We're finally inside I hope we have nothing to hide But we know we always do And now it's you and me I think we know where we should be We've just begun, I hope that's true If it's another time I know we didn't leave anything on display I only hope we can do this a little more often
