Fragile 02:49
lyrics

Porcelain, rain on skin Little dandelions blowing in the wind Crystal ball, scared to fall You bumped into me and now I feel it all I wasn’t always like this Living with my heart in the open I wasn’t always like this But I’m starting to notice That I’m fragile And I’m breaking into pieces every time you’re close to me I come unraveled Just like that faded sweater that you wore the day I met you I am fragile I guess I never knew until you walked into the room But now I’m… Paper thin, stumbling My heart is tripping every time I catch a glimpse Butterflies, scared of heights But I forget about it cause the view is nice I wasn’t always like this Living with my heart in the open I wasn’t always like this But I’m starting to notice That I’m fragile And I’m breaking into pieces every time you’re close to me I come unraveled Just like that faded sweater that you wore the day I met you I am fragile I guess I never knew until you walked into the room Ohh I wanna know you I wanna taste you I wanna hold you But I’m afraid to I wanna know you I wanna taste you I wanna hold you But I’m afraid to Cause I’m fragile And I’m breaking into pieces every time you’re close to me I come unraveled Just like that faded sweater that you wore the day I met you I am fragile I guess I never knew until you walked into the room But now I’m fragile

Man On The Moon 03:37
lyrics

It’s getting hazy Fire in your lungs and blowing smoke in my eyes You’re getting spacey Stare at the sun because you like to live blind And you’re feeling so far like you’re up with those stars That we used to lay under at night And I’m calling you out cause I can’t stand the sound Of you telling me everything’s fine Baby, seems like you wanna be the man on the moon I’ve been waiting cause you keep telling me that you’ll be here soon Too far away I need you closer, I’m done with space just need to hold ya Baby, seems like you wanna be the man on the moon Getting impatient Don’t have the time to sit and wait for you now Lost in translation Speaking your mind but more like running your mouth And you’re feeling so far like you’re up with those stars That we used to lay under at night And I’m calling you out cause I can’t stand the sound Of you telling me everything’s fine Baby, seems like you wanna be the man on the moon I’ve been waiting cause you keep telling me that you’ll be here soon Too far away I need you closer, I’m done with space just need to hold ya Baby, seems like you wanna be the man on the moon Are you ever coming down, coming down, coming down Cause I just need you now, yeah, I just need you now Are you ever coming down, coming down, coming down Cause I just need you now, hey, I just need you now Are you ever coming down, coming down, coming down Cause I just need you now, hey, I just need you now Are you ever coming down, coming down, coming down Cause I just need you now, hey, I just need you now Baby, seems like you wanna be the man on the moon I’ve been waiting cause you keep telling me that you’ll be here soon Too far away I need you closer, I’m done with space just need to hold ya Baby, seems like you wanna be the man on the moon

Playing Pretend 02:53
lyrics

What if we took down our walls? We’re too afraid of what people will think What if we were who we are? Without the lights, the headlines and the bling Putting on a show For everybody that we know And for everybody that we don’t Playing pretend Life’s just a game Nobody wins I’m not okay Painting a smile To entertain I want what’s real Not the charade Done playing pretend Done playing pretend What if we did what we want? Let’s just forget about what they might say We can prove everyone wrong If we stop posing like we’re on display Putting on a show For everybody that we know And for everybody that we don’t Playing pretend Life’s just a game Nobody wins I’m not okay Painting a smile To entertain I want what’s real Not the charade Done playing pretend Done playing pretend Take off the mask Let’s strip it down Show you the me I’ve finally found Way underneath This grand facade Nowhere perfect But at least I’m not… Playing pretend, no no Playing pretend, no no Playing pretend Life’s just a game Nobody wins I’m not okay Painting a smile To entertain I want what’s real Not the charade Done playing pretend Done playing pretend Done playing pretend Done playing pretend

Bad For Me 02:59

Gasping for air when I’m breathing you in Fire in your stare, turn my walls into ashes Stand at the edge, have I already fallen? Start to forget or I’m simply ignoring I’m no good for you and you’re bad for me Maybe we are consumed by the tragedy Cause we’re getting lost in the game Always fighting fire with flames I’m no good for you and you’re bad for me, bad for me I see you best when we’re here in the dark Drums in my chest, have we taken it too far? Sweet on your lips, any lie would convince me Hard to resist and it’s got me forgetting I’m no good for you and you’re bad for me Maybe we are consumed by the tragedy Cause we’re getting lost in the game Always fighting fire with flames I’m no good for you and you’re bad for me, bad for me If we’re wrong for each other Why do we try so hard At trying to keep this together Even when we fall apart Yeah we’re wrong for each other But we try so hard I guess we’re better together Than we are when we’re apart I’m no good for you and you’re bad for me Maybe we are consumed by the tragedy Cause we’re getting lost in the game Always fighting fire with flames I’m no good for you and you’re bad for me, bad for me Cause we’re getting lost in the game Always fighting fire with flames I’m no good for you and you’re bad for me, bad for me

Let the rain fall one drop at a time Drifting down to touch my skin Waves of blue when I look in your eyes Breathe you in like oxygen I don’t wanna let another minute of you go to waste Losing track of time I keep on getting lost in your embrace Holding on so tight cause I’m afraid you might, might slip away I don’t wanna let another minute of you go, oh Can’t keep this moment frozen So why don’t we move in slow motion Can’t keep this moment frozen So why don’t we move in slow motion Heart open wide just let it soak in Feel every beat, there’s no rush When the song’s done, the dance has to end So, drown me in your perfect touch And I don’t wanna let another minute of you go to waste Losing track of time I keep on getting lost in your embrace Holding on so tight cause I’m afraid you might, might slip away I don’t wanna let another minute of you go, oh Can’t keep this moment frozen So why don’t we move in slow motion Can’t keep this moment frozen So why don’t we move in slow motion So why don’t we move in slow motion

Don’t wanna think just wanna drive Flow with the breeze and go chasing blue skies Up in the clouds, down for the ride Twist and I shout, give me the good times Let’s just keep rolling down this long winding road  If I’m with you then I don’t care where it goes Don’t wanna think just wanna vibe All that I need is you and I  And Sunny Point Drive Open my eyes Sunny Point Drive Future is bright So bright, bright, bright Future is bright Don’t wanna blink, hours fly by And so do we, ain’t wasting no time Looking back, learn from that We just laugh and hold on for our lives Let’s just keep rolling down this long winding road  If I’m with you then I don’t care where it goes Don’t wanna think just wanna vibe All that I need is you and I  Sunny Point Drive Open my eyes Sunny Point Drive Future is bright So bright, bright, bright Future is bright Sunny Point Drive Open my eyes Sunny Point Drive  Future is bright So bright, bright, bright

I try to stay calm through the chaos But it likes messing with me I wanna stay strong when it’s all wrong I try to stay on my feet I’m feeling vulnerable Walking through hell  And I ain’t got no control But I tell myself I gotta keep moving forward I don’t know what’s ‘round the corner I don’t know what’s on the other side I keep on  Inch by inch, step by step  I might fall but no regret I won’t turn back just cause the road is long  I keep on moving on  And I know sometimes moments fly by But they pull me from the dark  The good that I find it keeps me tryin’  When everything’s falling apart I’m feeling vulnerable Walking through hell  And I ain’t got no control But I tell myself I gotta keep moving forward I don’t know what’s ‘round the corner I don’t know what’s on the other side I keep on  Inch by inch, step by step  I might fall but no regret I won’t turn back just cause the road is long  I keep on moving on, on   I keep on moving on, on I gotta keep moving forward I don’t know what’s ‘round the corner I don’t know what’s on the other side But I keep on  Inch by inch, step by step  I might fall but no regret I won’t turn back just cause the road is long  I keep on moving on, on  I keep on moving on, on  I keep on moving on, on  I keep on moving on, on I keep on moving on

Today there ain’t no sun in California And that’s because there ain’t no you I used to love the sky in California But now it only makes me blue It’s all that I can do to try to keep you off my mind Memories start to wander on this River Road I drive It’s sad but true S’all I can do I used to love the colors Autumn painted in the trees And I admire how they seemed to change so easily From old to new Wish I could too Today there ain’t no sun in California And that’s because there ain’t no you I used to love the sky in California But now it only makes me blue Walking to the corner store and standing where we stood Find I’m talking to myself when I wish I could Just talk to you… yeah Today there ain’t no sun in California And there’s because there ain’t no you I used to love the sky in California But now it only makes me… Blue, why you gotta make me so blue, yeah Blue, why you gotta make me so blue, yeah But I still love the drive to California And doing things we used to do And I still smile when I’m in California Because it makes me think of you It makes me think of you

If this was my last moment Then baby I’d die happy Cause I know that you love me And really that’s all that I need Oh the time stands still When my heart is racing I can’t seem to speak But if I could I’d be saying It’s not supposed to be this warm in October And I’m not supposed to be this scared But in this moment I’m so glad I can hold ya Feel so much better with you here Oh on this autumn day I realize my mortality, yeah Oh on this autumn day I realize what you mean to me Oh just how much you mean to me Whenever a storm rages You wrap me up and give me shelter And nothing will ever break us No not as long as we’re together Oh the time stands still When my heart is racing I can’t seem to speak But if I could I’d be saying It’s not supposed to be this warm in October And I’m not supposed to be this scared But in this moment I’m so glad I can hold ya Feel so much better with you here Oh on this autumn day I realize my mortality, yeah Oh on this autumn day I realize what you mean to me Oh just how much you mean to me You’re my evergreen without a question This autumn day has got me changing My everything you are a blessing Oh this autumn day has me saying It’s not supposed to be this warm in October And I’m not supposed to be this scared But in this moment I’m so glad I can hold ya Feel so much better with you here Oh on this autumn day I realize my mortality, yeah Oh on this autumn day I realize what you mean to me Oh just how much you mean to me

When you’re looking over you’re just overlooking me But when I see you I see everything that we could be So high but feeling so low So tired of flying solo You don’t know whatcha want but you want it all baby You say you don’t got enough but you got everything You said you wanted more Let me remind you That what you’re looking for Is standing behind you Oh won’t you slow down And stop runnin’ away Oh you could turn ‘round And start runnin’ to me I don’t know if I could really ever say these things And I’m guessing that you don’t know how much pain it brings Got me thinking til my heart aches Would we be just another heartbreak? You don’t know whatcha want but you want it all baby You say you don’t got enough but you got everything You said you wanted more Let me remind you That what you’re looking for Is standing behind you Oh won’t you slow down And stop runnin’ away Oh you could turn ‘round And start runnin’ to me Runnin’, runnin’ to me Runnin’, runnin’ to me Into these arms Into my arms Runnin’, runnin’ to me Runnin’, runnin’ to me Into these arms Into my arms You don’t know whatcha want but I’m wanting you baby If you gave me your heart I could give you everything You said you wanted more Let me remind you That what you’re looking for Is standing behind you Oh won’t you slow down And stop runnin’ away Oh you could turn ‘round And start runnin’ to me Runnin’, runnin’ to me Runnin’, runnin’ to me Into these arms Into my arms Runnin’, runnin’ to me Runnin’, runnin’ to me Into these arms Into my arms

I never knew what to say When you came around But I couldn’t look away I was in the clouds Had my head spinning From the beginning I never knew what to say And I still don’t now You know I talk when I’m nervous I get all lost in your perfect You got me obsessing Got me confessing I can’t believe I let it slip The words just fell out They’ve been waiting on my lips For a while now It’s just so easy to say It’s just so easy to feel that way It’s just so easy to say It’s just so easy to feel that way I always knew what to say But I bit my tongue Whenever you’d walk away I wanted to run after you My head’s been spinning From the beginning I always knew what to say But my timing was wrong I can’t believe I let it slip The words just fell out They’ve been waiting on my lips For a while now It’s just so easy to say It’s just so easy to feel that way It’s just so easy to say It’s just so easy to feel that way I can’t believe I let it slip I can’t believe I let it slip And after I said what had been on my mind You told me that you had to catch yourself A couple of times I can’t believe I let it slip The words just fell out They’ve been waiting on my lips For a while now It’s just so easy to say It’s just so easy to feel that way It’s just so easy to say It’s just so easy to feel that way I can’t believe I let it slip I can’t believe I let it slip

Night Follows 03:12

Spin, all of these memories causing my head to spin When I close my eyes I’m back in that moment again It comes out of nowhere and no there’s no telling when My fears come around to see if I’m still scared of them I know the night follows Me wherever I go I can feel the shadows Follow me close wherever I go I know the night follows Me wherever I go Look to the stars and hope They’re watching me close wherever I go Still, tryin’ to remember I’m better off lying still I’m hoping I’ll make it leave just by believing it will It’s here in this room until I finally catch my breath It’s hard not to think it won’t come around again Cause I know the night follows Me wherever I go I can feel the shadows Follow me close wherever I go I know the night follows Me wherever I go Look to the stars and hope They’re watching me close wherever I go And I think I can take The way the night behaves It might be here to stay But it won’t keep me awake And I think I can take The way the night behaves It might be here to stay But it won’t keep me awake Even though the night follows Me wherever I go I can feel the shadows Follow me close wherever I go I know the night follows Me wherever I go Look to the stars and hope They’re watching me close wherever I go And I think I can take The way the night behaves It might be here to stay But it won’t keep me awake And I think I can take The way the night behaves It might be here to stay But it won’t keep me awake
