Final Days 03:06
Do you know where I will be Through the other lives made? I'm hoping that you will see I'm the only one who stayed I've always been left behind Through all that you've been through I've been waiting a lifetime To spend your final days with you 'Cause when you're gone you'll still be with me When you're gone I'll still be here When you're gone I'll still be wishing that you'd still hold me dear When everybody's left you For life or for the grave That's the last thing that I'd ever do Every memory I will save 'Cause when you're gone you'll still be with me When you're gone I'll still be here When you're gone I'll still be wishing that you'd still hold me dear Now your final days arrive And it's your time to let go With me your memory survives And that's all you need to know

High Hopes 02:36
Oh I've been thinking a lot about that night I spent with you, it felt so right When my eyes met with yours, you Must have felt it, too, of course Did you tell all your friends like I told mine? You don't have any friends? Oh, that's fine 'Cause I'm the only friend you'll need As long as I'm the only guy you see, well I really hope you think about it And give me another shot I really hope that night wasn't The only chance I got Now it's been a while since that day And I'm running out of lines to say To keep me running through your mind, it Seems I've run out of breath this time When I felt I had nothing to lose You came to me bearing bad news Your love came and went so fast How long did I expect one night to last? Well I hope you know I think about it More often than not I really hope that night wasn't The only chance I got I really hope you think about it And give me another shot Oh now I can't help but wonder why you Had to get my hopes so high You moved on I understand I just hope you think about me When you hold his hand I really hope you think about it And give me another shot I really hope that night wasn't The only chance I got I really hope you think about me Once you screw up what you've got Oh now I can't help but wonder why you Had to get my hopes so high I can't help but wonder why you Had to get my hopes so high

Consistent 03:37
If I changed in every way Would you change, too? Would it take away the pain That I've endured from you? They say two wrongs don't make a right But two rights could cure all wrongs And if we tried to make things right Well, it wouldn't take us long Now we've become strangers Playing a winless game I know everyone changes But why couldn't you stay the same? If I changed who I am Would you change you? I'll try the best with what I can But a relationship takes two They say two wrongs don't make a right But two rights could cure all wrongs And if we tried to make things right... Well, it's taken way too long Now we've become strangers Playing a winless game I know everyone changes But why couldn't you stay the same? I just need someone to be I just need someone to be Consistent Now we've become strangers Playing a winless game I know everyone changes But why couldn't you just stay the same? I just need someone to be I just need someone to be I fear you've grown out of me I just need someone to be Consistent

I've been on a mental journey and gone through some mental strife All my questions leave me wounds' and the answers twist the knife Everyone's so caught up with what's wrong and what's right I've taken it upon myself to find the meaning of life Now my mind has reached a dead end I don't know where to go I'm suddenly questioning everything I know And the more I search the more I find I've been wrong For so long For so long If you find the meaning of life don't let me know If you find the meaning of life don't let me know I've been going back and forth on what I think I believe Everyone's been telling me my mind's been deceived With all this constant arguing nothing will be achieved I've realized the true meaning is how it is perceived I'm no longer at a dead end I'll find a way to go All of life's answers I will never know Whether I am right or whether I am wrong I'll carry on I'll carry on If you find the meaning of life don't let me know If you find the meaning of life don't let me know If you find the meaning of life don't let me know If you find the meaning of life don't let me know

I finally found something to hold on to I had a dream, but awoke too soon In this life, wishes don't come true But I found some truth in you Yes I know sometimes it seems I'm living on a broken dream When I can't find hope in my darkest days Your light helps me find a way When I feel alone and have accepted defeat You lift me up back to my feet In this life where nothing is guaranteed Your hope is all I'd ever need Yes I know sometimes it seems I'm living on a broken dream When I can't find hope in my darkest days Your light helps me find a way No, I can't give up now You've kept me holding on somehow I need someone to save me From this insomnia keeping me from my dreams From my dreams Yes I know sometimes it seems I'm living on a broken dream When I can't find hope in my darkest days Your light helps me find a way When I can't find hope in my darkest days Your light helps me find a way

Oh I feel so far away But the closest I've ever been I thought I made progress today But I feel I'll never win And I know that we're both afraid To make the same mistakes again There's so much that I need to say You just have to tell me when I mean everything I say And whatever I forget to mention I know you're worth the wait I'll be here in Limbo Whenever you need me Why can't things be simple Like I first thought they'd be I'll be here in Limbo And I fear I'll never leave I'll be here wondering What are we waiting for? I wonder what goes through your mind Because you're all I think about You told me to give you time But time is running out My eyes are stuck open for a sign That will end all of my doubt I want to end your pain as well as mine But your heart's taking a different route I'm so into you And you're so into my attention How long must you make me wait for you Here in Limbo Whenever you need me Why can't things be simple Like I first thought they'd be I'll be here in Limbo And I fear I'll never leave I'll be here wondering What are we waiting for? Let's be real We both know how each other feels When you need someone to catch you when you fall I'll be here And if you decide to hit the ground Then you'll still know where 'll be found What do you have to fear? (You know where I'll be) I'll be here in Limbo Whenever you need me Why can't things be simple Like I first thought they'd be I'll be here in Limbo And it's clear I'll never leave But I'll still be here wondering What are we waiting for?

Still Up 03:55
I can't fall asleep tonight I'm too worried about all the things I haven't done right So if I've ever made that smile fade You know I'll do anything to take the hurt away Take it away So I was awake and just wondering If you were still up and wanted to see me tonight Let's stay up late, talk about anything And go anywhere we want to be tonight Make me feel alive You can't fall asleep tonight I want to be there for you to make everything all right I know life gets harder every day But tonight is all that matters anyway Anyway So I was awake and just wondering If you were still up and wanted to see me tonight Let's stay up late, talk about anything And go anywhere we want to be tonight Make me feel alive I'm just so tired of being alone I've had enough of feeling locked up at home Tonight So I was awake and just wondering If you were still up and wanted to see me tonight Let's stay up late, talk about anything And go anywhere we want to be tonight Make me feel alive

Without a doubt I've fallen It's not so easy to get up this time With all the things you've said And all you've done wrong I've been hanging around Much too long But that's just what I do Everyone keeps telling me Everything will be alright I've believed every word they've said Until tonight I'm still waiting on the day When everything will turn out fine And after everything I can't believe I've been waiting after all this time I'm still waiting on the day When everything will turn out fine And after all I've been waiting for all this time I'm leaving everything behind Without a doubt I've fallen Despite all the hope that I had this time In spite of the things I've said And all I've done wrong I don't deserve this pain all along It's time for something new Everyone's been telling me Everything will be alright I've believed every word they've said Until tonight I'm still waiting on the day When everything will turn out fine And after everything I can't believe I've been waiting after all this time I'm still waiting on the day When everything will turn out fine And after all I've been waiting for all this time I'm leaving everything behind If you won't give me your whole heart I can't keep giving mine Through all the times I've hoped and prayed My hope has only kept me blind Despite the times I've been betrayed Someday I will be fine After all it's just a matter of time I refuse to be left behind I'm still waiting on the day When everything will turn out fine And after everything I can't believe I've been waiting after all this time It doesn't matter what you say Some things don't turn out fine And after all I've been waiting for all this time I'm leaving everything behind

What did I do wrong To make you not want to see me again? We were going so strong It was much too early to end It just takes so long For my heart to mend But it's OK 'Cause I know someday I can find a way Back into your heart That's why I say Hey Baby Girl Remind me how to love Could you be the girl That I've always dreamed of? If I give you my heart It will tear me apart If you don't feel the same Maybe I'm better off this way Or so I say Remind me how to smile Lord knows it sure has Been a while Since I've been on my groove And I've felt in style But it's OK 'Cause I know someday I will find a way Back into your heart Oh you make me say Hey Baby Girl Remind me how to love Could you be the girl That I've always dreamed of? If I give you my heart It will tear me apart If you don't feel the same Maybe I'm better off this way This way I'm better off this way Hey Baby Girl Remind me how to love Could you be the girl That I've always dreamed of? If I give you my heart It will tear me apart If you don't feel the same Maybe I'm better off this way What did I do wrong?

Lonely Night 03:34
It's just another lonely Friday night And my way out is just out of sight But the urge to stay inside Is so hard to fight When the some falls down I wonder If I'll see the morning light After this eternity Of solitude tonight Somebody call me up So I don't feel so confined Alone with these thoughts Going through my mind It's just another lonely Friday night And my way out is just out of sight But the urge to stay inside Is so hard to fight It's just another lonely Friday night And nothing that I do feels right 'Cause I'm lonely On this lonely night So shall I wait here now For someone new to rescue me tonight? And if I fall again Will I get back up alright? So somebody call me up If you would be so inclined And help me find a way to lose these thoughts Stuck in my mind It's just another lonely Friday night And my way out is just out of sight But the urge to stay inside Is so hard to fight It's just another lonely Friday night And nothing that I do feels right 'Cause I'm lonely On this lonely night If you're gonna call me up I hope you call me soon You may not know this But I'm torn up over you But it's fine, I'm fine, I'm fine I have to keep telling myself I'm just lonely and tired Of needing your help It's just another lonely Friday night And my way out is just out of sight But the urge to stay inside Is so hard to fight It's just another lonely Friday night And nothing that I do feels right 'Cause I'm lonely On this lonely night It's just another lonely It's just another lonely night It's just another lonely It's just another linely night

Do you remember that night When I asked you about us? You said it all seemed too good to be true Did I fall for the same old tricks And the same old lies? Why must love be pain's disguise? When I looked into your eyes I swear I knew you When you said too good to be true You were right for one of us I guess my baby steps Were just too much of a rush Could you not handle my affection Or is there something else going on? I'm starting to believe that They all leave when summer comes There must be something with the season Or you were just afraid to grow fond You made me disappear With a wave of your wand But with you there was no magic Just one big illusion all along It seems we both have a hard time remembering That I did nothing wrong When you said too good to be true You were right for one of us I guess my baby steps Were just too much of a rush Could you not handle my affection Or is there something else going on? I'm starting to believe that They all leave when summer comes With the way history repeats itself It seems every girl's the same As soon as the sun comes out She'll leave without any shame Is it everyone else or is it me? Would someone please care to explain? I still can't believe just how quickly Everything can change When you said too good to be true You were right for one of us I guess my baby steps Were just too much of a rush My heart was nearly broken For a day or maybe some Now I'm starting to believe Once again my heart has been deceived I believe that They all leave when summer comes
