Here & There 02:08
Mistakes, here and there No one saw the face so scared Driving away so fast Time again it went and passed Crazy teenager glee Leaves and stops and, comes to me One day I might be back It'll be a while so i better pack Am I wasting time Would I rather be losing my Mi-i-ind Am I doing the right thing now Could I change? and how It'll take a couple minutes, I don't think that i'm a villain cause of that Is what I think Who knows if I will swim or sink But that, don't matter now I'll just take a step and turn around and go To where I feel is the place to let myself be real Who, what, why, when and how I don't really know but i'll figure out Am I wasting time Would I rather be losing my Mi-i-ind Am I doing the right thing now Could I change? and how It'll take a couple minutes, I don't think that i'm a villain cause of that Doodle-loo Doo Doo Doodle-loo Doo Doo Wah Ooh Am I so wrong Could it be that my attempts were hopeless all along Am I doing the right thing now Could I change? and how It'll take a couple minutes, I don't think that i'm a villain cause of that

Scaredy Cat 02:41
I get scared when i'm alone It's all inside my head But i can't shake it off Just hide i can't defend I'm not good at running fast The wind chill slows me down They totally can handle that They'd find me And catch me And take me out of town I hear the footsteps and see the tire tracks they left for me to follow it's a trap and i'm a pawn inside their plan I can't stay home forever I'm running out of breath These thoughts have got to sever Running down the streets A van keeps passing by His objective abducting Will no one stop his crime? I can't take it anymore This irrationality Is consuming me And taking over everything Am i alone? Or is somebody listening to me I promise i won't scream I'm lying let me be I can't stay home forever I'm running out of breath These thoughts have got to sever And i'd leave it all behind If i could get the energy To return my mind I can't stay home forever I'm running out of breath These thoughts have got to sever And i'd leave it all behind If i could get the energy To return my mind

Always around Making your sounds Can you hear me? When I praise All the ways You drive me crazy You're upside down In your own town Can you feel me? When I touch You so much You're so soft You won't hurt me Like the others do This is my ode To Jerome Separation No sensation I wanna be there with you How I long To hear the song You sing to me You won't hurt me Like the others do This is my ode To Jerome You take care of me And i'll take care of you When i'm fast asleep I dream our love is true You won't hurt me Like the others do This is my ode To Jerome

The Backtops 02:31
Every time I close my eyes I am afraid did I say "I" Too many times In the day So here we go again For the one hundred millionth time This time i'll find A way to be right Self centered mannerisms Fly with all their might I worry every day of how i'll sleep at night The clock is always tickin' Time is running out Thats the kind of thing i'm thinking about I'm getting caught between This fight of mine, I, and myself I didn't need the shit you'll tell I've got a tendency Of running round and round in hell You've seen me here You know it well Shaking with every movement Fear of moving on Never finding consensus If i'm right or wrong The clock is always tickin' Time is running out Thats the kind of thing i'm thinking about Block out the fear of Looking up without the shade I worry every day of When this feeling will fade The wind is always blowin' Push us towards the light I can't find an answer in sight

The clock hit 12 And it's a different day It's holding more weight And you're sleeping I'm only pouting Cause I don't get my way I made a mistake For a reason I don't wanna fall out of love I didn't wanna But I just couldn't wait This is the fate We were given You say you're sorry But it's really okay You shouldn't keep Your thoughts hidden I don't wanna fall out of love Severance has played me badly Do you feel the same Never had I ever wanted You to feel my pain What's the biggest reason You could let me go I'm prepping for the season Now I just don't know I feel distracted I feel out of control There is a hole That you're leaving My hopes were high But then we fell Now am I Morals and heart disappearing I don't wanna fall out of love Severance has played me badly Do you feel the same Never had I ever wanted You to feel my pain What's the biggest reason You could let me go I'm prepping for the season Now I just don't know I couldn't help it When I looked you in the eye Our past flooding back Would you change your mind I'd hate to be The me without your sweet, sweet Love Severance has played me badly Do you feel the same Never had I ever wanted You to feel my pain What's the biggest reason You could let me go I'm prepping for the season Now I just don't know

Chip Lady 02:12
Baby You drive me Insane I can't believe I never got your name I remember what you look like But I can't describe your taste Maybe i'm crazy But I wanna be with you again Maybe I'm being a fool The time we met You only hurt me true I remember what you look like But i'm only seeing blue Maybe i'm crazy But I wanna be with you again Everything i'm looking for and more You're so brand new I don't wanna see you out that door We were just getting in the groove And I Wanna see you come back Wanna see you come back, please And I Wanna see you come back Wanna see you come back to me So far away infatuated with your charm You're trapped inside my head And only doing harm And I Wanna see you come back Wanna see you come back, please And I Wanna see you come back Wanna see you come back to me And I Wanna see you come back Wanna see you come back to me

Top of the world Couldn't feel better than I do Think that i've had enough Of this unsolicited truth Wasting my time On rhythms and rhymes I won't let go We haven't made enough Of this art I know Never disappoint Anyone who'd watch We could walk away Bottoming out Thought I could count On my own soul I'll try to articulate What I feel without the show I put in the work I feel like a jerk I wanna recluse Feel like giving up (But I won't) But I might I'm so confused Never disappoint Anyone who'd watch We could walk away Have you ever thought That this could be our only shot It's been breaking my heart You tore us apart again When the deed is done We feel like we're the only ones Trying to open our hearts Top of the charts we're not

She's a loner She made me wanna pick her head and see What I could find She adored him She could never ignore him if she tried And she tried She's getting lost again And lost her only friend Out on the open road Her wounds will never mend And I thought We had lost it all or threw it far away He controlled her The one she wanted Wanted just to play And she stayed But she couldn't know that What he sees as an attack She sees love Yeah that’s enough We had our couple days The Predator became the prey I couldn’t save her now The curtains closed on stage And I thought You had lost it all or threw it far away She's getting lost again And lost her only friend Out on the open road Her wounds will never mend And I thought We had lost it all or threw it far away

If I Stay Too Long I might lose my life Oh whatever I'll roll the dice Hear what the people say I couldn't turn away If I Stay Too Long I might hesitate To break alliances we made Right now it feels insane To show up in the pouring rain If I Stay Too Long People like to gather round Everybody try to see The innocent The weakest of the weak Everybody like to laugh People wanna be free That ain't gonna be me If I Stay Too Long I might need to rewrite A couple plans i had For later on in life I've seen it go that way As for me I am A-okay! Unless I Stay Too Long People like to gather round Everybody try to see The innocent The weakest of the weak Everybody like to laugh People wanna be free That ain't gonna be me If I Stay Too Long People like to gather round Everybody try to see The innocent The weakest of the weak Everybody like to laugh People wanna be free That ain't gonna be me If I Stay Too Long I might lose my life End with a cluttered head And one unhappy wife And when i go to bed I'd feel unending dread If I Stay Too Long

It'd be hard to wake up In the morning time Without you by my side Your presence never fills my appetite I love you Greeting with pleasantries and shaky smiles You fill my heart with glee You chase the bad guys out Or so you think I love you We're together in the park What's wrong with a broken heart Don't you think it's getting dark? But we already came this far We will never be alone The perfect gift is the love we own I can't remember My life without you The way you perk up when I'm nearing in Delightful So sublime Your unconditional companionship I'm so glad you're mine I love you We're together in the park What's wrong with a broken heart Don't you think it's getting dark? But we already came this far We will never be alone The perfect gift is the love we own I can't remember
