Miserable
02:35

Night time the perfect time
To stay up horrified at all the
Things we wish were different
But we know we won’t change them
So why
Do I run myself into corners
All the time
I wish I could honestly say I will try
To fix the situation
The other side’s appealing
But I don’t quite feel like feeling
Anymore
I don’t know where to draw the line
And even if I did, I bet
It’d hardly matter anyway
I don’t believe a word I say
So why
Do you make me explain myself
All the time
Don’t you ever wish you were someone else?
I try
To accept my reality
But all I want to be, it seems,
Is miserable
But you know that
Sometimes I’m scared
Of all the long nights I have
With plenty of time to think
And I think it’s kind of funny how
Years go by when you blink
And I stare, waiting for the morning
Cause it's all in my own mind
So why,
Do I still question my every move
I should close my eyes
And pray that morning will come soon
I cry
And stare at the ceiling in my room
There’s so little time and so much to do
And I’m miserable
Why do I have to feel so lonely
I would’ve been fine if you never told me
I’m miserable
But what else is new?

Begin Again
02:36
|
|||
|
I parked my car on the highway
I let all of the people drive by me
Don't make me explain myself
You'll just call me crazy
Escape where I can
Clear my mind before I leave you again
I am what I am
And lately I'm crawling out of my skin
Sat at the bus stop for hours
Counting the windows on distant glass towers
Ticket in hand
I didn't leave like I planned
Escape where I can
Clear my mind before I leave you again
I am what I am
And lately I'm needing a friend
Escape where I can
Close my eyes and learn how to breathe again
I am what I am
And lately I'm not willing to pretend
I am what I am
And I'm searching for a means to an end
I am what I am
And I'm ready to begin again

Bring You Down
03:09
|
|||
|
I’m only gonna bring you down
You say that you can’t live without me but
I don’t know why you keep me around
I’m only gonna bring you down
If I take all of my problems
And drop them off into your hands
I’m not expecting you to solve them
But the least you can do is pretend
Pretend to understand
If I show you all of the heart ache
That I’ve collected over the years
I’m not expecting you to fix me
But the least you can do is help wipe away the tears
I’m only gonna bring you down
You say that you can’t live without me but
I don’t know why you keep me around
I’m only gonna bring you down
If I put all my trust in you
You know all I'm good at is doubt
It doesn’t reflect what you will do
But depending on someone is something
I can live without
I’m only gonna bring you down
You say that you can’t live without me but
I don’t know why you keep me around
I’m only gonna bring you down

Catching Up
04:23
|

|
I’m not afraid of the dark
After what I’ve seen in a heart
I thought you’d be the one to keep me
I knew one day you would need me
When you ask me how I am
I don’t know what I should say
There’s so much to catch up on
When you’re missing every day
I know you would change
The way things played out
But we can’t now
I don’t think I’m afraid of you
No matter what I've seen you do
Empathy, I feel too much
Truly unconditional love
When you ask me how I’ve been
I don’t know what I should say
There’s so much to catch up on
When you’re missing every day
I know I would change
The way things played out
For more time spent with you now
When you ask me how I am
I don’t know what I should say
There so much I could tell you
When time keeps slipping away
I know I would change
The way things played out
The way things played out
When we call just to check in
I never know what I should say
I wonder when is the next time
When you’re missing everyday
I just wish that I could change
The way things played out
Because I wanted you around

Talking It Over
02:40
|
|||
|
Tell me you think this is right
And maybe I’ll get some sleep tonight
It’s so easy to lose what we’re after
And just start the next chapter
And miss all the middle
Just talking it over
Remind me why we’re stuck where we’re standing
I want more than idly accepting where I’m landing
We’ve fallen more than once and more than twice
It’s all games and loaded dice
I want more from life,
I’m just talking it over
I'm talking it over
I’m talking it over, so far above my head
And I’m talking it under, under my breath
And I’m talking it through til it gets back to you
I'm just talking it over
I'm talking it over
I’m just talking it over

Live Out In The Sun
03:49
|
|||
|
Why don’t you tell me how you feel about me again
Or better yet, why don’t you show me instead?
I heard you talking on the other side of the wall,
You’re right I hate keeping these thoughts inside my head
And I’m sick and tired, I want to live out in the sun
I feel this nine to five is doing me in
The kids are right you know, they’re really catching on these days
We can't let what we do just go to waste
I always wanted you to prove me wrong
Let’s make a memory I never will replace
I’ve been going off somewhere deep inside my mind
Where you’re running and I’m not far behind
I’m sick and tired of being only that
Lately the daily’s really doing me in
So go ahead and make a move I always wanted you to prove
There’s so much more from life for me to live
So go ahead and make a move I always wanted you to prove to me
There’s so much more from life for me to live
I love you
Say it until we believe it again
I love you
Say it until we believe it again
I love you
Say it until we believe it again
I love you
Say it until we believe it again
I want to live out in the sun
I want to live out in the sun
I want to live out in the sun
