World Was Young
03:34

|
Do you remember when the world was young
And I could turn you on (oh I could turn you on)
Do you remember when you lit me up
And then I let you down (I know I let you down)
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Because I know that I still do
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)
I remember when I shut you out
I started shutting down (I started shutting down)
And I remember when it hurt like hell
When I was hanging up (I can still feel it now)
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Because I know that I still do
Do you remember when the world was young?
You could spin me up, yeah we could turn it round
I broke the door when I was running out
I hope you fixed it up
I can't stop running now
I hope that you cry less than you used to
Because I know that I still do
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)
(I know that I do, I know that I still do)

Sleep Right Through
04:11
|
|||
|
You can't hold on as it's creeping in
It's cold out so you're sleeping in
You always thought that you might know by now
And all the backbones you were holding down…
None of that seems to be helping now
You never knew that you could feel so lost
So you…
You sleep right through tomorrow afternoon
You …
You sleep right through
You know you sleep right through
She could move in, you could share a bed
And make the same mistakes that your parents did
For the highest hopes, you know what’s coming next
You can't hold on so she's leaving you
You try to calm down but it's bleeding through
You'd hoped to everything that you’d know by now
But you…
You sleep right through tomorrow afternoon
But you…
You sleep right through
You know you sleep right through
I'm still hearing it
It's keeping up my mind
Reeling the fever in
Try to let it all subside
I keep fearing it
It's keeping up my mind
Reeling the fever in
Try to let it all subside
But I'll keep digging in
And watch my fireworks multiply
Yeah I'll keep digging in
Watch my fireworks multiply
You…
You sleep right through tomorrow afternoon
You…
You sleep right through
You know you sleep right through

Follow Me Home
04:37
|
|||
|
I talk too fast to win you over
So you follow me home and take your clothes off
You follow me home and fill my heart up
You follow me home and fill my heart up
Because now I know that what I'm trying…
It'll work on you (it'll work on you)
You'll sleep in my bed tonight if I want you to (and I want you to)
In the morning when you leave I'll be alright
'Cause I'll be done with you (I'll be done with you)
As long as we can sleep until the light, light, light
I'll make it through (I'll make it through)
I talk too fast
Make things awkward
You'll think I'm sad
So you'll try harder
You follow me home and fill my heart up
You follow me home and fill my heart up
Please could you fill my heart up?
Yeah now I know that what I'm trying…
It'll work on you (it'll work on you)
You'll sleep in my bed tonight if I want you to (and I want you to)
In the morning when you leave I'll be alright
Yeah I'll be done with you (I'll be done with you)
As long as we can sleep until the light, light, light
I'll make it through (I'll make it through)
There's still a lot of nights she's On my mind (she's on my mind)
You're here in my sheets because I am trying to let her go
It's been about a year or so since I left her, but I just can't let her go
It's been about a year or so since I left her, and I just can't let her go

Light In My Window
04:18
|
|||
|
There's light in my window
But it's too much to get up
Worse I know that if I lay long enough
I'll be gone
I will fade
It's heavy in my head
But it's too much to complain
Worse I know that if I lie long enough
I will fade
I will fade
Why aren't I OK?
Don't want to bring you down
But I'm not OK
Not alright right now
Why aren't I OK?

With You
04:18
|
|||
|
I'm so tired of feeling alone
Yeah I'm so tired of feeling alone
With you…
With you
With you…
With you
Could you light up, light up, light up, light up?
'Cause I don't have much time
Lie down, lie down right next to me
We could both pretend you're mine for the night
Light up, light up, light up, light up
'Cause I don't have much time
Lie down, lie down right next to me
We could both decide you're mine for the night

Off My Mind
02:25
|
|||
|
Hey little girl, could you comfort me?
I could use a little more of your company right now (right now)
I can't seem to get you off my mind
And I've given it thought and I've given it time
And I know (I know)
Yeah I know I've been wasting all my time
And in three months when I leave this all behind
Then I know that when I go, well I'll be fine
But I just can't seem to get you off my mind
There've been little dark thoughts chasing after me
And I've grown a little tired of my apathy in love (In love)
I couldn't seem to get them out of my head
And I thought about fighting, but then instead they'd stay (they'd stay)
I know I've been wasting all my time
And in three months when I leave this town behind
Then I know that when I go, well I'll be fine
But I just can't seem to get you off my mind
No I just can't seem to get you off my mind
I know I've been wasting all my time
And in three months when I leave this all behind
Then I know that when I (you) go, well I'll be fine
But I just can't seem to get you off my mind
No I just can't seem to get you off my mind
Yeah I just can't seem to get you off my mind

Carousel, Pt. II
03:37

Maybe this is all we can be
Two ticking time bombs, fuse inside of me
Running blind…
Underneath fireworks, fast photons in the sky
Yeah but maybe she could fly here with me
Stolen nights, we're both breathing wildly
Run and hide…
Underneath fireworks, fast photons in the sky
I can wait
I can wait to say
I can wait
I can wait to say
I can wait
I can wait to say
I can wait
I can wait to say
I can wait
I can wait to say
I can wait
I can wait to say
I can wait
I can wait to say
I can wait
I can wait to say…

Slow Down
04:07
|

|
Slow down, slow down, we’ve seen this before
But you can’t slow down (You could worry some more)
It’s like friction to a freight train and
Quarantine the right brain and
Freeze the fever there and strip the lining bare
’Til there’s songs, nothing's wrong, you can sing until she’s gone
You try to shake yourself awake, but you know you’ll never learn
There’s still plenty on your plate and
Bet you’re tired of being patient
Still you know all that matters is her, yeah
Her
Her
Timing’s not all but it’s more than we'd like
And some day you’ll grow old despite your best fight
I guess it’s not the right time at all
There’s no piece of mind in your
Freeze the fever there and strip the lining bare
If I thought I was wrong then I’d find a new song
Come on shake yourself awake, ‘cause I’m still trying to learn
There's still your new road ahead
Everyone's hands on deck
Until then someone’s bound to get hurt
Hurt
Hurt
Hurt
Hurt

Oh My God
04:28
|

|
I can't help what's been done in my sleep
No I can’t stop what’s going on in my dreams
I can’t help but hope that you think about me
And I can’t stop
Yeah I can tell we maybe waded in too deep
It gets hard to fight when I’m swimming in between
But I can’t help but hope that you think about me
And you can’t stop
Oh my God what have you done?
And oh my God what have I done?
And oh my God what have we done?
I can’t tell what bad timing means
Am I crossing lines or tearing at the seams?
Yeah I’m so scared to know what you think about mE
But I won’t stop
And I can’t tell what good timing means
It’s hard to hold the rope when I’m bleeding underneath
But I can’t help but hope that you think about me
And you won’t stop
Oh my God what have you done?
And oh my God what have I done?
And oh my God what have we done
…we done
…we done?
Hold me now
I need to hold you down again
Hold me now
I need to hold you down again
Hold me now
I need to hold you down again
Oh my God what have you done?
And oh my God what have I done?
And oh my God what have we done?
…we done
…we done?

I'll Be Seeing You Soon
05:46
|
|||
|
I am sore, so I’ll sleep now
Turn the lights and the sheets down
The weight and the pain, they start fading
From my body and brain, they've been aching
And wasting away
Feed the fuse to the fire
Past the architects, they're all smiling
And the hole in the atmosphere's open
The heavy holds on my feet, they've been broken
I'm as high as I've been
I will heal, I will sleep, I will die
I'm done fighting for you
I will heal, I will rise in the night
I'll be seeing you soon
Away. away.
Away. away.
Close my eyes
Freeze the weather vanes
FreeZe the weather vanes
I forget your face
I don't know why
But when I'm here, I don't mind
No one to come and find me
So close to paradise
