Without You 03:52
it's cold, I'm in my winter boots and the sky, it isn't blue, it's grey, so grey I roam through the city streets alone it's just me and my memories our bed is too big without you my stomach feels sick without you I'm just not right without you I breathe in I stand surrounded by silence barefoot, in my apartment I scream just to fill the space our bed is too big without you my stomach feels sick without you I'm just not right without you I breathe in 1 2 3 4 every breath escapes from my mouth 1 2 3 4 go the days I don't want to count I don't want to count our bed is too big without you my stomach feels sick without you I'm just not right without you I breathe in

maybe this, maybe this is for the best and in time, in time this ache will subside I'll get used to sleeping alone again I won't expect your voice on the other end I've been upside-down and inside-out I twist and I turned myself about fighting gravity I loved you so and I love you still I'm sure somehow I always will but I can't fight gravity you and me, we were quite a sight to be seen opposites in every way and every sense and we tried bending rules that will never break with our eyes to the sky but we stayed in place I've been upside-down and inside-out I twist and I turned myself about fighting gravity I loved you so and I love you still I'm sure somehow I always will but I can't fight gravity if you ever cross my mind if my gaze should find the skies I'll imagine I once dance in the stars with you I've been upside-down and inside-out I twist and I turned myself about fighting gravity I loved you so and I love you still I'm sure somehow I always will but I can't fight gravity

Wait For Me 04:20
how'd I get here so fast did time suddenly speed up can I take a big step back reverse the clock I'm running out of precious time now I'm running out of precious time the moon never did ask my opinion and the earth wouldn't stop spinning for me no, the sun turned the other cheek and just kept on rising now I'm caught in between time wait for me gotta keep both feet on the ground and this train on its tracks just like dominoes falling down the years quickly pass it's one right after the last one each falling into the next the moon never did ask my opinion and the earth wouldn't stop spinning for me no, the sun turned the other cheek and just kept on rising now I'm caught in between time wait I'm looking to the sun, the sky, the stars and everything in between I'm begging for an ounce of mercy here a little sympathy but do they hear me, can the hear me can they hear me at all screaming out loud the moon never did ask my opinion and the earth wouldn't stop spinning for me no, the sun turned the other cheek and just kept on rising now I'm caught in between time wait for me
4.
I never knew this could happen and I could feel like I'm drowning on dry land and the truth could break me your words could take me to a depth I never wanna reach again guess it's not enough to love you no it's not enough take me back, take me home I'm not ready to let go come with me, stay with me tonight all I need is one more chance one more kiss, one last dance and in the morning light we'll say goodbye tied and twisted, I'm worn and restless confused as ever and completely alone and I keep asking the same damn question how could I have been so wrong but in your eyes I found sweet solace and in your arms tangled up a beautiful mess take me back, take me home I'm not ready to let go come with me, stay with me tonight all I need is one more chance one more kiss, one last dance and in the morning light we'll say goodbye
5.
I've been like this for days quiet as stone, hidden away from the world I try forcing sleep to escape my thoughts for a moment, I need time to stop can I freeze this frame for now let it start back up when I know how to make this right you've been like for days angry as fire, taking it out on the world you're a violent display of love gone array and it's getting worse with time could you please just try to calm down I promise I will figure out how to make this right how to make this right I had the wheel, I let it go I watched us spin out of control it was all on me I had the wheel, I let it go I watched us spin out of control it was all on me we've been like this for days distant as stars at opposite ends of the world can we bridge this rift in us will you ever learn to trust that I will make this right I'll make this right I'm gonna make this right I'll make this right
6.
Shift 04:44
tonight I am gonna be a little reckless I'm letting go of the wheel and the direction I want you to lay your hands on me you have my permission to take the drivers seat take the drivers seat oh, cause I'm ready for push the pedal down one hundred miles per hour take me out, let's go for a ride, let's go for a ride oh, I'm gonna hold on tight in the passengers side as you shift into drive I'm breathing it all, I take in the scenery my body is buzzing as we pick speed and I can't deny the thrill of the moment it gets me so high take me out, let's go for a ride, let's go for a ride oh, I'm gonna hold on tight in the passengers side as you shift into drive oh, cause I'm ready for push the pedal down one hundred miles per hour take me out, let's go for a ride, let's go for a ride oh, I'm gonna hold on tight in the passengers side as you shift into drive
7.
the water's gone cold, red turned to grey soaked to the bone, I tried to wash my sins away what a dirty mess of a tangled web I've become now with both hands clasped I'm praying, begging please God, undo what I've done I can't stand to face you in the state I am please keep your distance from me someday this storm will end and I will find you again the air's growing thinner and the sky is hanging low if I surrender my body, could the earth swallow me whole I jumped off the ledge, I reveled in the rush but the ground came quick now I'm shaking, I'm shivering, I'm stunned oh, God, what have I done I can't stand to face you in the state I am please keep your distance from me someday this storm will end and I will find you again
8.
Lifeline 03:49
will you be okay, will you be alright I could stay here till morning I could stay all night I could tell you, your world, no it ain't gonna end tomorrow's a new day, you start all over again you can wrap my arms around you anytime you can wear me like a vest, I'll be your lifeline I'll keep you afloat in this wicked world you can be at rest just knowing I'm here did the world deceive you has life been unkind did time go too quickly, leaving you lost and left behind do you feel out of place even in your own skin like every day is a battle and you're not sure if you can win you can wrap my arms around you anytime you can wear me like a vest, I'll be your lifeline I'll keep you afloat in this wicked world you can be at rest just knowing you can wrap my arms around you I can be your lifeline I will keep you afloat I promise, I promise you can wrap my arms around you anytime you can wear me like a vest, I'll be your lifeline I will keep you afloat in this wicked world you can be at rest just knowing I'm here
9.
I, I found a loophole in your mind, now I'm inside and I'm gonna loosen up a few screws just to kill the time and you never knew what you were getting yourself into but baby loving me means pain and misery you, you thought that I something oh so sweet and lovely you didn't have a clue oh you, you made this much too easy all you wanted was to please and I was out to ruin you and, I know it's sick to find such pleasure in your suffering but baby loving me means pain and misery well now, our story comes to an end your heart's completely broken the pieces drip out your eyes oh, now I can find another victim and in time I will convince him I am the love of his life and I won't apologize for what I've done, for this twisted crime baby loving me, oh baby loving me means pain and misery
10.
When I Go 04:23
black hanging on the ceiling shadows painted on the walls I can feel the pressure mounting as it pins me to the floor it ain't natural to feel so conflicted no, it ain't natural to feel the way I do when it's all said and done and I'm miles from home when I pack all my things and I leave on my own when I'm gone from your sight and I'm far, far away you should know that when I go I will miss you the most I know it's been a long time coming but somehow this all seems too soon this is exactly what I wanted I just wish you could come too just promise me this isn't goodbye forever no this is just so long, until next time, I'll be seeing you later when it's all said and done and I'm miles from home when I pack all my things and I leave on my own when I'm gone from your sight and I'm far, far away you should know that when I go I will miss you the most as you fade away in the rear view I'll hold on tightly to every memory of you the memory of you when it's all said and done and I'm miles from home when I pack all my things and I leave on my own when I'm gone from your sight and I'm far, far away you should know that when I go do you know that when I go I will miss you the most
11.
Rewind 05:13
I thought that you should know I'm not mad anymore you'd probably like to hear I forgave you a long time ago and as a matter of fact, I'm missing you every day and there still are times I wish things had never even changed, changed but they did are you still confused, and are you hanging on to hope or did you dismiss me a long time ago do you ever question if you had just swallowed your pride would I be writing this song, would I still be in your life, your life would I be can we stop the time and push rewind, go back to that night I would stop myself, I never would have felt the way I do right now you were my best friend, you were such a part of me now there's just a hole and it's gaping, it's so empty now everything's different and it feels impossible to adjust and every time I see you, I'm taken by memories of us, of us it's just too much can we stop the time and push rewind, go back to that night I would stop myself, I never would have felt the way I do right now slow down the time stop and rewind rewind rewind I thought that you should know I'm not mad anymore
