She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

Feeling Like The End
Too many, too many things we did together
You used to promise me it would be forever
Feeling like the end, don't think it will get better, baby
Too many, too many things we did together
You used to promise me it would be forever
Feeling like the end, don't think it will get better, baby
Please, come down so we can get out
I've waited too long to get your voice out of my head
(Out of my head) out of my head (out of my head)
Feels like home, I'm covered in stone
I know you'll think twice, I'm waiting by the window, babe
(Window, babe) window, babe (window, babe)
Too many, too many things we did together
You used to promise me it would be forever
Feeling like the end, don't think it will get better, baby
Too many, too many things we did together
You used to promise me it would be forever
Feeling like the end, don't think it will get better, baby
You used to promise me it would be forever
Feeling like the end, don't think it will get better, baby
Too many, too many things we did together
You used to promise me it would be forever
Feeling like the end, don't think it will get better, baby
Please, come down so we can get out
I've waited too long to get your voice out of my head
(Out of my head) out of my head (out of my head)
Feels like home, I'm covered in stone
I know you'll think twice, I'm waiting by the window, babe
(Window, babe) window, babe (window, babe)
Too many, too many things we did together
You used to promise me it would be forever
Feeling like the end, don't think it will get better, baby
Too many, too many things we did together
You used to promise me it would be forever
Feeling like the end, don't think it will get better, baby

Die For You
Swear I couldn't sleep a wink last night
No point in turnin' off the lights
Not the same without your head on my shoulders
Growin' pains, but I don't wanna get older
Almost like we left it all on read
Couple feelings never laid to rest
Didn't know that the party was over
And it's true that I need you here closer
Burning photos
Had to learn to let go
I used to be
Somebody in another skin (another skin)
I heard that you're happy without me
And I hope it's true
(I hope, I hope it's true)
It kills me a little, that's okay
'Cause I'd die for you
You know I'd still die for you
I hope you're getting everything you needed (needed)
Found the puzzle piece and feel completed (completed)
Just wanted you to know every reason
Hope you really know that I mean that
I couldn't see
The forest from the trees
Only time we speak
Is in my dreams
Burning photos
Had to learn to let go
I used to be
Somebody in another skin (another skin)
I heard that you're happy without me
And I hope it's true
(I hope, I hope it's true)
It kills me a little, that's okay
'Cause I'd die for you
You know I'd still die for you
No point in turnin' off the lights
Not the same without your head on my shoulders
Growin' pains, but I don't wanna get older
Almost like we left it all on read
Couple feelings never laid to rest
Didn't know that the party was over
And it's true that I need you here closer
Burning photos
Had to learn to let go
I used to be
Somebody in another skin (another skin)
I heard that you're happy without me
And I hope it's true
(I hope, I hope it's true)
It kills me a little, that's okay

I hope you're getting everything you needed (needed)

Before The Day Is Over
I don't know what you wanna hear
Things changing course, smiles fade to grin
Now the moment's gone, just as I feared
And I was hopin', and I was hopin' this time
No longer here, we were feeling bliss
Don't hold your tongue, there's no time for tricks
You've been closing up, I expected this
But I was hopin' that you'd stay open this time
I know it won't be long
I know you're almost gone
Hold on, let me in before the day is over
Just let me in before the day is over
Say something soon, we might lose it all
Something we can use to break our fall
There's nothing left to do when we start to stall
And I was hopin' that we could hold it this time
I know it won't be long
I know you're almost gone
Hold on, let me in before the day is over
Just let me in before the day is over
Let me in, let me in
Just let me in before the day is over
(I can't take another day)
(I could go insane)
(There's only so much I can take)
(I can't live this way)
(I can't take another day)
(I could go insane)
(There's only so much I can take)
(I can't live this way)
Let me in, let me in (I know it won't be long)
Just let me in before the day is over (I know you're almost gone)
Let me in, let me in
Just let me in before the day is over
Things changing course, smiles fade to grin
Now the moment's gone, just as I feared
And I was hopin', and I was hopin' this time
No longer here, we were feeling bliss
Don't hold your tongue, there's no time for tricks
You've been closing up, I expected this
But I was hopin' that you'd stay open this time
I know it won't be long
I know you're almost gone
Hold on, let me in before the day is over

Say something soon, we might lose it all
Something we can use to break our fall
There's nothing left to do when we start to stall
And I was hopin' that we could hold it this time
I know it won't be long
I know you're almost gone
Hold on, let me in before the day is over
Just let me in before the day is over
Let me in, let me in
Just let me in before the day is over

Dissolve
It's so hard just being me sometimes
I wish I could escape out my mind
Got too many situations
Complicating things, I ran out of time
I know I haven't turned the corner
Please, don't leave me behind
Who the hell am I to think that you're my angel from above?
It's not right
Who are we?
Who have we become?
Are we counting sheep until we dissolve?
It's a painful situation
Do you feel complacent on the outside?
It's so close that I can taste it
Begging you to chase it, God knows I try
You got the life you always wanted
Please, don't leave me behind
Quite some time has passed
You fell right through my fingertips, I still look alright
Who are we?
Who have we become?
Are we counting sheep until we dissolve?
Who are we?
Who have we become?
Are we counting sheep until we dissolve?
(Who?)
(Who?)
I wish I could escape out my mind
Got too many situations
Complicating things, I ran out of time
I know I haven't turned the corner
Please, don't leave me behind
Who the hell am I to think that you're my angel from above?
It's not right
Who are we?
Who have we become?
Are we counting sheep until we dissolve?
It's a painful situation
Do you feel complacent on the outside?
It's so close that I can taste it
Begging you to chase it, God knows I try
You got the life you always wanted
Please, don't leave me behind
Quite some time has passed
You fell right through my fingertips, I still look alright
Who are we?
Who have we become?
Are we counting sheep until we dissolve?
Who are we?
Who have we become?
Are we counting sheep until we dissolve?
(Who?)

NIGHT RIDER
Tell me how you wake up, I just wanna wake up
UFO again, doesn't matter what it takes up
Crazy in the dome, baby, can I get a heads-up?
Girl, they try to break us
Girl, they try to break us
Wanna get away with you, tell me your location
Feels like yesterday, I remember I would stay up
Baby, can you say somethin'? Wanna feel sensation
Promise you I'll never get numb, I'm too precious
(I'm too precious, I'm too precious)
(I'm too precious, I'm too precious)
Burning forever and ever, fully blazing
I don't remember no better days
You know I'm waiting, just whenever
Shit's whatever
Burning forever and ever, fully blazing
I don't remember no better days
You know I'm waiting, just whenever
Shit's whatever
(I'm too precious, I'm too precious)
(I'm too precious, I'm too precious)
UFO again, doesn't matter what it takes up

BLAHBLAHBLAH DEMO
I can make you feel it closer, baby, one more time
(One more time)
I can really feel you closing in, I stayed outside
(Stayed outside)
I love, I love, I love, no matter how, how much they take
(How much they take)
Something tells me we were chosen so we keep on trying
(Keep on trying)
She said I'm dumb, surrounded by strangers
When I hear your voice, I'm in too deep
Feeling undone, I can't be the only one
I wanna be forever young
I can make you feel it closer, baby, one more time (yeah)
Cigarettes, cigarettes
Sling it in the west, I got nothin' in my vest (in my vest)
Intimate, intimate
Sling it in my chest, may it never lay to rest (lay to rest, lay to rest)
We got here just in time
Don't get lost in this life
Levitate, levitate (levitate, levitate)
Like an atom, separate (like an atom, separate)
Elaborate, elaborate (elaborate)
Been a long time, I can see it on the paint
I can see it on the paint
I can see it on the paint
(Ooh)

YUKON (INTERLUDE)
And my eyes get low in that all white truck
I can barely see shit
And my eyes get low in that all white truck
I can barely see
(Girl, I might be)
And I overflow like mercury
Glowing with uncertainty (glowing with uncertainty)
Circles at the Chevron (girl, I might be)
Huh, I might be forever gone (bitch, I might be gone)
And my eyes get low in that all white truck
I can barely see shit
Hit the gas like you wouldn't believe it
Thank God I was always healing
In a time so slow I was thinking 'bout us rearranging pieces
Speeding up on that all black Demon
Going West, I don't got no reasons
I was throwing stones at Hercules
Throwing them so perfectly
Circles at the Chevron
I can't be forever young
Empty choir, operated from above
My voice will be their voice until I'm free (free, free, free)
My hands will be their hands until I'm free (free, free, free)
I can barely see shit
And my eyes get low in that all white truck
I can barely see
(Girl, I might be)
And I overflow like mercury
Glowing with uncertainty (glowing with uncertainty)
Circles at the Chevron (girl, I might be)
Huh, I might be forever gone (bitch, I might be gone)
And my eyes get low in that all white truck
I can barely see shit
Hit the gas like you wouldn't believe it
Thank God I was always healing
In a time so slow I was thinking 'bout us rearranging pieces
Speeding up on that all black Demon
Going West, I don't got no reasons
I was throwing stones at Hercules
Throwing them so perfectly
Circles at the Chevron
I can't be forever young
Empty choir, operated from above
My voice will be their voice until I'm free (free, free, free)
My hands will be their hands until I'm free (free, free, free)

1AM FREESTYLE
You know you can make it
But you can't make it alone
You know you can make it
But you can't make it alone
I've been writing letters on the wall
I hope one day you'll see them all
And that you're not alone
I've been playing memories in my mind
Wishing you were there, like all the time
So I'm not alone
And I'm tired of this madness
Tired of being stranded
I don't wanna be alone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You know you can make it
But you can't make it alone
And I'm tired of this madness
Tired of being stranded
I don't wanna be alone
But you can't make it alone
You know you can make it
But you can't make it alone
I've been writing letters on the wall
I hope one day you'll see them all
And that you're not alone
I've been playing memories in my mind
Wishing you were there, like all the time
So I'm not alone
And I'm tired of this madness
Tired of being stranded
I don't wanna be alone
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You know you can make it
But you can't make it alone
And I'm tired of this madness
Tired of being stranded
I don't wanna be alone
