VERSE 1 If I slept on the way home You would never know I was fighting for control Paraphrased as numb To live life under thumbs Of someone who points out everyones… VERSE 2 I wrote my resignation For being the one who’s taken on a ride Destined for lies But I still hang on every moment With some charade to show it On and on… On and on…
2.
VERSE 1 I trace these road maps to northeast civilizations I burned down in my sleep With photographs I must detach myself From your shell CHORUS 1 So you and me can finally see The thin lines between humor and tragedies I signaled a spark with objective sincere Please blink twice if you hear VERSE 2 AM/FM converse combine If i wanted this much static I’d disconnect the line And watch your signals fall somewhere in New York Far enough from you but missing was the worst CHORUS 2 And oh a sight I’d finally see Pinpoint the romance and shattered window schemes Throw your heart it falls or it flies and if I’ve shaven I’ve gone to Maine to die
3.
If this is anything that I’m not supposed to be Please say it’s over… It’s over… VERSE 1 We all sit on roof tops at one point in our life And think about our only loves As we gasp at the thought of splatters on the concrete And mistakes we’re making with our hearts PRE-CHORUS 1 And there it was facing towards the heavens With an answer to all of the above Here I am racing towards collision With an answer not from the above CHORUS If this is anything you haven’t felt for me Please say it’s over And if I’m anything that I’m not supposed to be Please say it’s over VERSE 2 In this room we were one Fifteen after twelve I pinkie swore and it was February 6th I’d show you my collection of broken pinkies But I don’t think lovers should twitch PRE-CHORUS 2 Just let me feel your breath against my lips Why must everything be so uncertain? As you draw up your conclusions anesthesia knife impales My heart’s never been ready for expulsion REPEAT CHORUS
4.
Timezones 03:18
What? VERSE 1 The hands on the clock May be in different timezones But from the time it takes one hand To touch the other CHORUS I’ll wait for something so unsure I’ll wait to feel your touch once more I’ll wait, I’ll sit through photographs and retrospects I’ll wait until you see your timezone’s all I have left VERSE 2 As long as it takes For my tears to carry messages Through cracks in the pavement To the other side of earth REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE We hold on to another life In a different time When we think that there’s no other way To live our lives right now REPEAT CHORUS
5.
VERSE 1 We walked down to the old beach house Where she used to laugh and play Some dreams are worth one thousand memories If you can hold on to just one I wish this summer could last all year But the fall comes soon, goodbye to friends PRE-CHORUS But sometimes you have to keep dreaming for yourself Even if there’s no one else Because times can be so tough when you’re all alone Even if it’s not your fault CHORUS Best friends don’t grow on trees anymore I so sick of everything You can’t walk if you don’t know to crawl It’s getting depressing VERSE 2 I had the time of my life this year Pretending you’re not even here REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE But I plan on drinking all night to forget you Forget you right now I know some how that you still believe in me And everything I want to be You can’t keep treating me as though I’m lost Within random thoughts of her Because one day, you’re gonna lose it all You’ve already lost me Already lost me Do you recall when everything felt numb?
6.
River Road 04:42
VERSE 1 Drive the car, turn off the lights I lost such sleep because lovers are all ghostlike And radiate through radio, frequencies so slow And that is why she let go CHORUS Ignition, decision Is this your latest craze? The last drive with red eyes Almost found your way Through bleeding, you’re leaving The trees are all that hear You’re last sigh and good-bye As you swear VERSE 2 Temperatures grow low with hope You measure in a Fahrenheit with a soul and a rope And levitate through mercury, promises made to me On this silent Monday eve REPEAT CHORUS And this is for forgetting me
7.
VERSE 1 Is this where we go when we go? Is this where we go when we go? Set up like a dress rehearsal Where the actors forget their lines You knocked me down like a scripted verse Already designed VERSE 2 Is this where we go when we go? Is this where we go when we go? I wait for You wished for The eyes of countless others adore you I am waiting right now CHORUS At knife point to toss coins At empty fountains at bottomless hotels You know I’m, you know I’m, you know I’m Waiting here right now, waiting here right now REPEAT CHORUS I’m waiting here right…
8.
Rockbeat 01 02:44
VERSE 1 Last night’s sleep was murder Now sunshine feels like death You can tell by the deaf phone calls I left With breathing out of mind Blood flow out of thought You applied six seconds of pressure Then left me here to rot CHORUS I haven’t felt this cold in fucking years I haven’t felt this drained in days While I was waiting, some compassion here It just feels you’ve slipped away VERSE 2 With every second lost It seems you own my thoughts With every cut I make With every second lost It seems you own my thoughts With every cut I make REPEAT CHORUS
9.
VERSE 1 I guess that you would know There’s more to life Than being alone If memories compete When days turn into weeks And smiles rely on a phone CHORUS We’re fucked and broken with words unspoken Tragedies will always remain We’re fucked and broken with words unspoken Tragedies will always remain VERSE 2 And I am not at fault For cleansing wounds with salt We eat our own words and decay And did you leave a mark Or just an indented heart When everyone else had their way REPEAT CHORUS
10.
VERSE 1 Let’s start with a moment that’s never long enough We’ve been divided by weight and time My deepest inhalation, forbidden breaths are taken Brings me closer to you I swear PRE-CHORUS 1 Distance apart Through twenty-first century time As measured by the mile markers Between you and I CHORUS If I had to start from somewhere, it’s 1985 And I’m breaking up faster than I can drive VERSE 2 The way back from Round Pond All I wanted was a voice to parallel mine But you’re singing along in a quiet winter’s welcome If it snows I’ll never have to go PRE-CHORUS 2 My deepest breath I wish I’d never taken Brings me closer to you I swear With your cheek against my own almost like romance To leave without you I would choke REPEAT CHORUS I’m breaking, I’m breaking I’m breaking, I’m breaking I’ve broke
11.
I stared at the moon all through Chicago And dreamt about your arms I said “I’ll be back home tomorrow” But you’ve already gone And by the way… Writing’s a waste VERSE 2 We spin and fall gradually Within our own space I yearn for your pulse As I dream about your face And by the way… Writing’s a waste CHORUS And If I live through this I’ll give you all my soul I tried but I could not let go Set the range for grasp detach explode I tried but I could not let go VERSE 3 This is my last progression of thought Please carry it at your side And to you I leave my heart Please carry it at your side And by the way… Writing’s a waste REPEAT CHORUS
12.
VERSE 1 I thought we’d change these sky lines By letting go of stars and broken bonds I thought we’d change these sky lines By letting go of stars and broken bonds PRE-CHORUS So throw in all your details we’ll set them all ablaze Trajectories are broken but they still seem to amaze That you’re a human being but where’s your beating heart We’re stocking up on clouds while we’re running out of stars CHORUS There’s no stars There’s no stars left VERSE 2 If I told you I was dying from repeated shots to the heart Would you even care at all? If I told you I was dying from a lack of fucking stars Would you even care? REPEAT PRE-CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS OUTRO Your decision caused competition You let it all just slip away And your decision caused competition You let it all just slip away I know what we’re not
13.
VERSE 1 Our heroes don’t fly any more as something has changed In this heartless world We wish for these roles to all change But they all seem to remain the same CHORUS Did you find someone else To take the pain away from this endless day? Did you find a new place To call your home away from home? REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE They all slip away… How could you? Why would you let me walk away? From everything that we’re going through today How could you? Why you let me feel this way about Everything that we have said? Is this what we’re aiming for? Then I’m not sure I want you any more They say it’s best just to forget But I can’t seem to get over the facts They all slip away…
