You (free) 02:49
Like it's something new Like it's something so damn special Impossibly, particularly pleasing Please don't ask me why Why I'm always so damn hopeful Unendingly, unceasingly I'm dreaming Oh you, oh you You don't even know the things you do You, oh you You don't even know the things you do to me I could ask you how How you're always so damn peaceful You seem to know the way to go, I'm drowning Tell me what to do Tell me why I'm so damn restless I'd dream away the day with you, I'm waiting Give me one more reason to fall for you

Again 03:56
You feel so hot under my hands Like you've got bigger, better plans that you won't tell me You whisper secrets in my ear of things I know before I hear what you tell me On days I can't get started your strings are roads uncharted I can't wait to fight with you, to lie to you again I can't wait to sigh to you, again and again and again I can't wait to cry to you, again and again and again Again and again and again The marbled grain of your strong back shows me the things you'll never lack You'll never miss me I don't believe you have no heart, I feel it beat when we're apart You still won't miss me Your bridge will take me nowhere, but I still try to go there I know we're getting nowhere and you're unable to care You'll still take me nowhere

Close To Me 03:15
Ask me just yesterday I'd say he's just fine, but I'm glad he's not mine Somehow over time you went ahead and changed my mind And I don't believe all the hoops that I'm jumping through, I jump through for you But what's a girl to do who can't get you off of her mind I could try again to just forget your face But your face I can't misplace You feel like home to me You're all I'll ever need Ain't that truth Next to you is where I want to be So get close to me I like the way your hand feels when it's holding mine, our fingers intertwined I think we crossed the line I swear I must have missed those signs But what would I do without your whispers in my ear, and your kisses near Get back over here What's it going to take to make you mine I could try again to just forget your face But your face I can't misplace I can't wait for the day when I hear what you've got to say About this game we play

Your blue eyes, your biggest lies Nobody sees them like I do Weathered hands, your biggest plans Secrets of love you don't follow through Are you thinking of me when I'm thinking of you? Where do I go from here? Where do I go? Kiss goodbye, don't tell me why Hold me too tight, let go too soon Leave behind your biggest find Breathe in, breathe out and come unglued Are you thinking of me when I'm thinking of you? I don't know how you sleep at night without me

Walk Away 03:53
I'm feeling tired, the day is long Inside my own skin feels so wrong One step ahead, two steps behind Slow motion, fast forward, rewind These shades of grey blur away black today I'm colour blind White out every line you left behind Walk away Tell me to stay Leave me behind I'm fine, I'll find my own way Lashes fold around my eyes Blur out my whole world and other lies Skin pulled tight around my bones Hollow rib cage, an empty home Words are cliche, they flutter past and then decay Mean what you say, it all sounds like lies either way I won't wait around here anymore

Take My Hand 03:05
I just can't find it I would yell it loud and clear You'd just ignore it You'd pretend that you can't hear Come a little closer I've got something I should tell I want to know you I want to know you well Take my hand, let's run away to Never Never Land I'd dance 'til daylight With the stars all in my hair You'd be right beside me All aglow and unaware Take my hand, let's run away to Never Never Land And don't let go I feel at ease with your two arms tight around me The leaves on trees veil the moon and our surroundings
7.
Secret 02:38
Of all the secrets I could tell There's not a one I know so well As the one I've got for you I don't know what to do These stormy skies might fit the bill 'Cause baby you just never will But you're coming back for more There's more of me to explore You've got something I can't ignore You and those darn eyes of yours I've got something I'll never tell And you thought you knew me so damn well On rainy days you're summer skies We've said hello less than goodbye I've got better things to do Than sit around and wait for you I'm picture perfect, and here's why I've got a secret, not a lie And you're dying just to hear me whisper in your ear Don't you want to hear, I know you want to You've got to beg me first, I know you want to

I Know 03:46
I'll never run as fast or hard as you do But I passed you miles and miles ago You're much stronger than the ones I'm used to If I push you too far you'll break, I know I could live without you but I don't want to try I could say I don't care and just live in the lie Lay low, you said so I know why you're moving oh so slow Hold tight then let go Breathe deep, awake and asleep Without you I have been complete I don't need you, I know You'll never be the things I know you could be You'd do anything to prove me wrong Go on and tell yourself that you don't want me You would, but you've had me all along Close my eyes imagine you're just not even there Open wide, surrounded by you everywhere

Remember when it was ok to live day by day And the answers didn't have to come right away And dreams you had in yesteryears were never meant to be met with tears But grown up dreams come with grown up fears that no one ever hears I thought it might be easy Boy, I was wrong But if life always went as planned I'd sing way fewer love songs So I'll enjoy the ride While the vehicle's in motion I'll be sure to keep my arms inside I'll enjoy the ride I'm not the one who's driving so wrong turns I don't mind I know that it's been said before that closing doors will open more But I swear I've walked this same floor ten times before Whoever dealt this unknown hand, I'm sure he's got some kind of plan But not knowing if I can is part of who I am I thought it might be easy Boy, I was wrong But if life always went as planned I'd sing way fewer love songs
