Leave This City

Done waiting
We're vacating
No more delays
I need this road trip to save me
I'm all packed up now and I'd like to
Leave this city
Grab a cannon
To shoot the setting sun
Grab your soul mate
Find out if she's really the one
Maybe we can't hide
But we can take the money & run
So that's what we'll do
Winds at our backs, yeah
We will sing
Crank up the track, yeah
We will sing
Blast it out & bust our ears
Take the long road home
Got clothes on our backs
Let's GO
We'll hit the road
Will we look back? NO
Never, my love
Never, my love
I'm ready you're set
Let's GO
We'll hit the road
Will we look back? NO
Never, my love
Never, my love
Hit the beach with a Seagull six-string
Approaching the sound
Skipping rocks on the water
We're just messing around
Watch the sun set low
Better hit the road
Before we get too old & boring
In the campfire light
We hold on tight
These moments are
Slipping away, slipping away
There's not much more that we can say
I think back to a time
When I still believed
That we could live forever
Life, it gets harder as the years go by
Can never let these memories die

Still My Soul Cries

Tonight
I watch the stars shine
Here we go again
It's been another long day
Must've thrown it away
Cause I'm alive
But I haven't felt that way
In a while
Sometimes I feel so
Darn good about myself
Sometimes I ask myself
Why do I hide it?
Try to disguise
I'm not the only one who
Acts like I don't care
Try to fight it
Sometimes I'm scared
Despite my best intentions
I've never been so confused
There are holes in these walls
We'll cling on tightly till they fall
I know I gotta let go
Before it eats me alive
Maybe I'm really okay
You know I like to pretend
Feel like a lost cause
Without a cause in the first place
I've done so much
I've been around the world
And it all means nothing
If I can't figure this out
Sometimes I feel so
Darn good about myself
Sometimes I cry
Smile & I hide it
Try to disguise it
I'm not the only one who
Acts like I'm okay
Try to fight it
I get nowhere
Despite my best intentions
I've never been so confused
Swing low sweet chariot
You're taking me home

Count To Fifty

Woke up to another day
Of cold looks & heated exchanges
I do my best to try to keep it cool but
Your mood swings are super contagious
We have got to figure this out
We disagree, so what
That's no reason to shout
There's no wisdom in our system
We've gotta right this ship
Cause it's headed south
Didn't you hear what I said?
You're always right
Now you're back for more
Are we messed up in our heads?
I think we might be, we might be
What are we fighting for
Sometimes you're happy
And we get along
Sometimes we're both right
Sometimes we're both wrong
Take a deep breath, count to ten
Count to fifty
Shut up & kiss me
You think I'm not listening
But the truth is, I don't understand you
Darling you know, I love you to death
But sometimes
I can't stand being around you
We have got to see this one through
I think it's high time
We start having a clue
You're so fragile
And I was never agile
I guess we've got a lot of work to do
I'd like to sweep you off your feet
But I hesitate (why am I so useless)
You'd better face the fact that I will never meet
All your expectations (nobody could do this)
But I, will try
If you'd be so kind as to lower your voice
When you're yelling at me

Say You Need It

Packing your bags?
(I'm leaving)
That's what you say
(No, I mean it)
Running won't help
You're fighting yourself
Listen to me now
(I can't hear you)
I'll talk louder
(I can't hear you)
Oh come on, at least
Act like you're listening
Stop the time
Pause, rewind
I know you said we won't make it
One way track
Don't look back
I know you said we won't make it
You say you need it
But you don't
You say you'll leave
But you won't
It's driving me insane
You say goodbye
I'm like, "no"
You ask me why
Take my hand
We can work this out
My heart's in your hands
(Mine is broken)
Would you relax
(I'm not joking)
Then please hold on
(Please hold on because)
I love you so much
(Just a feeling)
I swear it's not
(Dopamine-ing)
My love is more than a
Chemical reaction
Dont' throw it away
Come cryin to me...

Dead Ringer

My love
Where have you been?
I'm holding on tightly
But it's paper thin
And I know
Where you've been
And I know
What you're not telling me
I think we both know how this has to end
Sick & tired of playing these games
The weight of pushing you away
It's all I can do to breathe
Pack this up & pack this in
It's not a game that we can win
You know you are a
Dead ringer for a girl I knew
But I'm tired of trying
Of keep it quiet
Those empty eyes are like a shadow of you
If you're in there somewhere
Come out & kiss me goodbye
My love
What have you done?
Where are we when I need us
Why has something come between us
You're not the same way you used to be
I think it's time we parted ways
I can't do this by myself
(But you said you'd never leave me)
Tell me is there someone else
I don't know you anymore
I'm praying for you
Waiting for you
But you keep letting me down

I wish I could change the past
I guess I'm not the first
God knows I won't be the last
The air was so still, all of a sudden
Frozen, on fire, in front of the screen
You wrote this song with your eyes
Smiling through the frontpage,
September 15th
Then it had only been about 48 hours
We had only just met
The streets still scattered with
A million tears
A million flowers
How many hours of sleep were lost last night
Nobody guessed how deep those bullets would bite
I never met you
I won't forget you
I think the whole world already knows
I've got no strategy
To fight the tragedy
No it couldn't have hit closer to home
The sadness doesn't know
Which way to go
Lost kid wasn't leaving alone
Now she'll never see nineteen
They said the shots that were ringing
Triggered 5000 cellular phones into
Waging a war
Because one more lost child (one more lost child)
One more lost child
Wouldn't leave this world alone
It didn't have to be this way
And the sound of sirens still makes me flinch
It didn't have to be this way
And the sound of violence still makes me flinch
It didn't have to be this way
And her melody's flowing through my veins
And she'll never see nineteen
