There's A Light
04:44
|
|||
There’s a light in the back room
I don’t know if I should care
Last I looked I was alone here
But I don’t even know where here is
All the roads you take lead you nowhere
All the rules you make when you need them
Is it just for right now?
There’s a light hidden in the shadows
Your hazel eyes find it every time.

Keep You In Time
05:03
|
|||
Feeling on top of the world
but you’re not seeing what you wanna see
Believing talk is cheap and you’ll get nowhere when the ride’s for free
A little high, a little low
I just gotta know, you realize you’re not alone
All the mistakes, you said that you need them
to keep you in time, never hesitating.
All the mistakes, you said that you need them, locked up inside to keep you in time.
Keeping destiny on the run for far too long
Say it, “fear used you up when you shot for the stars but you ended up at home.”
A little high, a little low
I just gotta know,
you realize you’re not alone
All the mistakes, you said that you need them
to keep you in time, never hesitating.
All the mistakes, you said that you need them, locked up inside to keep you in time
I want to know what you’re thinking.
Why do you wanna live through someone else?
Are you ready and able?
A fever dream reflection of yourself.
We never believed enough
This is why you’re always feeling all fucked up.
Angel on the right or that devil down inside,
Who’s going to get you to it?
Only you can pull you through it.

Which Is Better
03:50
|
|||
I can’t tell which one is better
The lie you used to tell
Or the feeling you get when blame belongs here with someone else
I can see everything you ever did,
through eyes you use to sell the same old line,
to any fool that mistakes you for something else.
You wanted everyone to give you everything
You read it line by line
We knew it
You’re always running backwards
I don’t know what the give and the take is
But I do know what to do
Add it up and see your wrong like 1 and 1’s still 2
I thought I found one of the sensitive ones
The kind that won’t kiss and tell
We left it all on the floor that night but it didn’t end so well
You wanted everyone to give you everything
You read it line by line
We knew it
You’re always running backwards,
Will you ever stop?
You promised words 1000 times before
I heard it every single time
You left out something that was meant for us
“It’s alright from here” but right back to every lie

Your Spell
04:19
|
|||
I know you did just what you told me
doesn’t mean we have resolve
you made the world slip beneath me
You had everything, I had it all wrong
I can feel it in my bones, everytime
I pay the price
But I don’t wanna change a thing
Cause this is never worth always being right
I get lost in your spell every time
I get lost in your spell every time
I can see it in your face, you think it’s all a ride
I don’t wanna change a thing
Cause why live out what we both hope will die
I get lost in your spell every time
I get lost in your spell every time
Why would you think twice
about breaking all the rules? just to get it right?
You bled dry all my energy
just to leave me in your fool’s paradise.
I get lost in your spell every time

Down To The Wire
04:31
|
|||
You take all the attention
You’re too good to believe in
Add it to the list of who you never got to be
Everything you wanted
Everything you needed
Till you call it out, you’re never free
I don’t need to say a thing wrong
Cause you’ll always get caught
When it’s right down to the wire
You believe all your convictions
Rumors told in sequence
I won’t be the one to ever set you free
Now every thing you wanted
Isn’t every thing you needed
When you call it ours, the dream is a reality
I don’t need to say a thing wrong
Cause you’ll always get caught
When it’s right down to the wire

Chameleon
04:37
|
|||
When we first started
It was the like the Earth against the tide
Lost in a feeling
of no longer being surprised
Some would give you pleasure
but most drove you insane
It’s easy to leave when you’ve always dreamed forever would always change and it always changes
Moving on chameleon
Move it on chameleon
You said you’d never change for anyone
But to me you stay chameleon
Now 2 years later and now when your heart breaks you never learn
You said you’d never, and that’s why you’re still alone
I heard of a promise to heal you
but you gotta want it first
And that’s why you’re being served
and you never take back every single
word that you leave on the table
Moving on chameleon
Move it on chameleon
You said you’d never change for anyone
But to me you stay chameleon

A Way Through This
03:22
|
|||
Look how you got it
Exactly what you wanted
Don’t call it magic, it was play by play
I know you let go but controlled by your ego
Who want’s to feel that same boring old way?
I don’t know what to say about it
You’re not mine to save
I don’t wanna play it anymore
You can’t stop what you never started
Who cares if you blew it
You’ve got a lifetime to re-do it
No one else can say it in your special way
And I can tell you meant it
Not thing to be regretted
Now let it be exactly what it seems
I don’t know what to say about it
You’re not mine to save
I don’t wanna play it anymore
You can’t stop what you never started
I don’t know what to say about it
You’re not mine to save

Winners
04:43
|
|||
Voice of a generation dies
the kids are left without an alibi to blame it all on
Living off someone else’s Trust,
the money’s great
but the dreams they just won’t last
The hope the fear the love desire
We’re never growing old
Never giving in again
It’s yours to lose but if you don’t play baby
The winners will never change
Play the fool with someone else’s time
Everyone here know’s everyone’s lie
so call it what you will
Mistakes that look a mile wide
You hit the road running
Though you never did the crime
What’s another friend or two?
The hope the fear the love desire
We’re never growing old
Never giving in again
It’s yours to lose but if you don’t play baby
The winners will never change

Do It Like This
05:52
|
|||
We live with distractions
Nothing given, nothing gained
Living used to be easy
I guess that was all part of the game
Lost in a simple life
Excuses come but don’t go
The lies are adding up
Running circles round the truth that you know
We can push it to the side
I just need to you hear you say it
These memories are not your own
You had to steal them
I can’t read your mind
You said to “do it like this”
But it’s an empty request
Misunderstand all the time
All the time
Looking out an ocean, lost in what I see
Some other reflection
And a thousand fingers point back at me
Wasted youth on someone else’s dream
Time’s a journey with more miles to go
Then it ever seems
I can’t read your mind
You said to “do it like this”
But it’s an empty request
Misunderstand all the time
All the time
I can’t read your mind

So This Is Love
04:54
|

So this is love
So this is love
I never knew what my heart was for
Until I met the both of you
This is love...
