So what you wanna do love? Do you know what’s coming for you? Does it need to be true love? Or could it be somebody new? Remember when you asked me, “Does this look good to you?” Well in my mind, You always looked better in blue. I would never push you unless you wanna try Do you have to force it or could we let it ride? The morning just brings lies, so let’s set it aside. You want to get to know me, I want to get inside. I hear you’re searching for the one dear, How is that going for you? Well I know one that is right here, And there’s nothing I wouldn’t do Here let me tell you you’re my whole world, Would that make it any more true? Let’s wear tonight wrapped up tight girl Better to impress you in blue. I would never push you unless you wanna try Do you have to force it or could we let it ride? The morning just brings lies, so let’s set it aside You want to get to know me, I want to get inside I could tell you that I’ll give you more That I’ve never felt this before I could sing about your touch How I need your love so much I could hold you in my arms Keep you warm and safe from harm I could tell you of our lives How they’re tangled and entwined Blah blah blah Blah blah blah Blah blah blah So let’s be real girl What did you come here to do? Speak it soft and let it linger You know I will always come through Take it off and let it slip slow Then watch how I love watching you After I dip down real low I’ll leave you alone wearing blue I would never push you unless you wanna try Do you have to force it or could we let it ride? The morning just brings lies, so let’s set it aside. You want to get to know me, I want to get inside.

Cobblestone 03:30
So now what happens next? Tell me if I should wear my very best Through streets I walk next to you My fear is one day this cobblestone will come unglued Your smile burns away the fog If love is a flame then you just threw another log I know this is all we have I promised myself my bags would never be unpacked I knew we would be here one day Between my ears where my dreams must stay I dream of you… I’ve found home in this foreign land It is not a place, but an embrace, a tracing hand Did I thank you or not? Though my mind may drift you’re never far from my thoughts I leave nothing else behind Though we may not speak I know the taste I seek to find I know this is all we have I promised myself my bags would never be unpacked I knew we would be here one day Between my ears where my dreams must stay I dream of you… One thing I know for certain There are dark days ahead So I keep closed the curtain Rest here in our first bed I reach out blindly and through You are the light I keep I have not lost or found you And so I do not fear sleep I knew we would be here one day Between my ears where my dreams must stay I dream of you…

Wakeup 04:12
Don’t you ever try to bring me down to you And I won’t ever do what you want me to No don’t you ever try to bring me down to you And I won’t ever do what you want me to Do your worst and I’ll do mine but somehow I think you will win There’s nothing left for me to do so fuck it I’ll just pack it in There’s no way to burn this place down and still get out alive Come with me now shut it off, let it bleed, I’ll drive Don’t you ever try to bring me down to you And I won’t ever do what you want me to Don’t you ever slam that door unless you plan to break the hinge Look at you you look a mess turn a caress into a cringe How can you still stand to sit there inside your open vein Everybody’s pain is the same and yet we all maintain Don’t you ever try to bring me down to you And I won’t ever do what you want me to No don’t you ever try to bring me down to you And I won’t ever do what you want me to It was once but now it’s not just your habit You could’ve left if but you had to grab it And now there’s nothing left for us to say We were once brothers isn’t life so strange And still I can’t escape the hardest blow I lost you years ago Don’t you every try to bring me down to you And I won’t ever do what you want me to No don’t you ever try to bring me down to you And I won’t ever do what you want me to

By Now... 03:56
Understand the rules that you make Understand the hearts that you break And you’ll be… Understand the chance that you take Understand the walls that are fake And you’ll be… Closer to me Understand that nothing is real Understand the pull that you feel And you’ll be… Tell yourself there’s time you can steal Tell yourself there’s stopping the wheel And you’ll be… Closer to me Love you should know by now Should’ve let go by now Love you should know by now The ways and the ways and the ways Search for what you think you can claim Seek out all the light in the pain And you’ll be… Drink before the rain has its say Sink into the bend of the sway And you’ll be… Closer to me Love you should know by now The ways and the ways and the ways Love you should know by now Should’ve let go by now Love you should know by now The ways and the ways and the ways Understand the truths that you tell Understand the trick in the spell And you’ll be…

Unspoken 04:21
I need you I want you To tell me everything that you would wanna hear To make us Go walkin Hand holdin Whisperin such nasty in your ear I’ll hold you And scold you And tell you all about the bad things in this world I’ll teach you Mistreat you Until you’re well behaved and Daddy’s little girl Don’t speak it Just think it We’re sinkin Underneath that thing that has no name I’ll tell you, you’ve tamed me Don’t blame me, nothing’s ever gonna be the same Undo it Push through it I knew it, you were the best game for me to play Away dear Don’t stay dear There’s pain here, just what you’ve been looking for all day You’ll call me It’s all me You’ll fall free losing all the sense you kept so near It’s ok It’s this way So sit lay let me do away with all your fear Just hate me Just bait me Just wait see I will fill that space you feel inside You’ll feel it You’ll steal it Reveal it, when all you ever try to do is hide Don’t want me Don’t need me Just know that I will only ever lie to you And will do My best to Undress you test you and then snap your heart in two You can touch it You can taste it You can waste it Cause it will be the last you’ll ever see I won’t be Here tomorrow No no no But somehow you’ll always remember me
