Well the times they're not so easy
Have they ever been my dear?
We ain't got anything to believe in
But in our paper planes in the air
And you know I'm overrated
And I know you're always scared
but we gotta keep on keeping on
for the ones that we hold dear
Oh my love we will never be the same
Everything is changing but our memories remain
Oh my love are you still waiting on the bench?
Every night I walk this hill with my bare feet in the sand
All the promises I made
and all the promises I broke
will you ever trust me again
now that you know?
and all these disappointments
every little rabbit much
keep your eyes on the horizon
or you'll lose yourself in the mud
Oh my love we will never be the same
Everything is changing but our memories remain
Oh my love are you still waiting on the bench?
Every night I walk this hill with my bare feet in the sand

Cold Town
03:37
|

|
Take a look around
Why don't we sound it out?
Every new year makes it even more abvious
Shine a light on the way down in our cold town
Will you die just to know
What this life was for?
Coming and going alone out in the night
we're all the same in front of the lord
Sorry but I will have to let you all down
I'm not going to stay here in this town
Will you die just to know
What this life was for?
Coming and going alone out in the night
we're all the same in front of the lord
Sorry but I will have to let you all down
I'm not going to stay here in this town

The Last Day
03:58
|
|||
|
The walls are closing in
And the streets just run in circles
We’re lying on our backs
In the pavement we were born
The first time I got drunk
Was the last day of dignity
I couldn’t stand you
You hadn’t had a trace of grace
So why should we behave?
Why should we be nice?
Why should we be happy?
We gave in to this life...
And the love that we found
Was out of fear of disappointments
And all your mother said
Was “make the most of now!”
Whenever we look in the mirror
We try to avoid looking into our eyes
During nights of being unfaithful
And everybody knows
So why should we behave?
Why should we be nice?
Why should we be happy?
We gave in to this life...

The Avalanche
04:52
|
|||
|
We didn't realize that we've been torn in two
Now look at us, shattered on the floor
But it's about to end, don't let it ever get you down again
Let the avalanche take you down to the valley
Hold my hand. Does it make you feel good again?
Let the avalanche roll over our bodies until there's nothing left
Let's stop to pretend that the reason why we feel bad
is something but ourselves
now look at us, shouting at the top of our lungs
When it's about to end, don't let it ever get you down again
Let the avalanche take you down to the valley
Hold my hand. Does it make you feel good again?
Let the avalanche roll over our bodies until there's nothing left
When did all the silence turn into violence?
When did all the patience turn into hate?

Porcelain

Oh my porcelain girl
You think you’re untouchable
You already see how this is going to turn out
But I think you don’t know what you’re talking about
At least you’re feeling fine
While we keep on wasting time
We keep talking
Til the Morning
We keep ignoring
All the warnings
There are some bad guys around
Would you count me in?
Would you count me out?
What a perfect arrangement
Like a renaissance painting
And all the floral decoration
To cover all your imperfections
Oh my porcelain girl
You think you’re untouchable
You already see how this is going to turn out
But I think you don’t know what you’re talking about
At least you’re feeling fine
While we keep on wasting time
You wanna be seen
From a safety distance
Like a piece of art
In a museum - you say
The thieves are coming
and they’re sneaking in
And they’re sneaking out
Are you going to steal me now? (2x)
Oh my porcelain girl
You think you’re untouchable
You already see how this is going to turn out
But I think you don’t know what you’re talking about
At least you’re feeling fine
While we keep on wasting time

Complicated
03:21
|

|
You hit me up the other day
Saying there's something that you wanna say
And I said "ok."
You don't want anyone to know
but you think that there is more
And I was like "oh."
Don't you ask me if I can keep a secret
I don't want anyone to keep me up for so long
Why does it have to be so complicated?
I only wanna hang out with my friends
Why don't you come?
You say I should've come to your party
But I don't need no heartache
Why would you ever wanna change that?
Seems like there's a contract
that when you grow up, you gotta feel sad
I didn't sign for that
Don't you ask me if I can keep a secret
I don't want anyone to keep me up for so long
Why does it have to be so complicated?
I only wanna hang out with my friends
Why don't you come?

Three And A Half Minutes
03:30

I don't want to be your next three a' half minute song / I want to be more / something that you really care for / I don't want to be the next kid you throw out of the room / I want to be more - someone that you really care for
I don't know who I am but I know
that I'm able to make you lose it all
I can't be tamed and I can't slow down
if you don't see me - if you don't see me now
I don't want to get lost in detention class / I want to be more - someone you don't ignore / I don't want to hear you say "there ain't no use" / I want to be more - someone that you hope for...
I don't know who I am but I know
that I'm able to make you lose it all
I can't be tamed and I can't slow down
if you don't see me - if you don't see me now

Ever Present Past

My ever present past
please tell me what to do
please tell my why can't I learn from my undoings?
I want to be so much better than I am
but it seems I forgot the lesson I was learning
And if I ever fall,
will you be there to tell me that you told me after all?
And point the finger at me
because I should've known
My ever present past
I want to be with you
I wish that I had known what I am knowing
If I could turn back time
would I change my mind?
or only go my foolish ways again
And then I keep on banging
my head against the wall
because I'm not learning after all
you point the finger at me
because I should've known
