Eyes in the back of her head
She’s looking out for herself
All she really cares about
Was what she wants
What she needs
She’s caught up in what she can’t see
I worked her out in my head
Weighed out the down sides and benefits
But all I really thought about
Was what she wants
What she needs
I’m caught up in memories
(ooo)
She only lied to herself
She never felt this way
About anybody else
What she wants
What she needs
Is now stuffed deep inside me
What she wants
What she needs
She has let go completely

I Don't Know You Anymore

I don’t need you
I don’t show you
I don’t have a
Place to go cause I don’t
Know you
What’s you and me?
What’s in between?
Yes you are the
One I loved
Yes you are the
Only thing that I saw
For miles
But I don’t know you
Anymore
I don’t want to believe
A side of you that I have never seen
I don’t want to believe
A side of you that I have never seen
But now you’ve given it all away
Something out there
Something telling me
That you’re not over thinking
All about us
Oh what a dream
What’s you and me?
I don’t want to believe
A side of you that I have never seen
I don’t want to believe
A side of you that I have never seen
But now you’ve given it all away
(guitar solo)
Oh what a dream and
What's you and me?
I don’t want to believe
A side of you that I have never seen
I don’t want to believe
A side of you that I have never seen
But now you’ve given it all away
Now you’ve, now you’ve, now you’ve
Given it all away

Change Your Mind

I can see you every way I turn
Every single path in sight you’ve burned
I won’t be the one you drop so you can learn
What it means to let go, let hurt
Hope you never show
Up when you want to know
I don’t know
Why
I don’t know
Why
I don’t know
Why every time
You change your mind
I don’t know
Every time
Change your mind said
I don’t know
Why every time
You change your mind
See me in the mirror clear as rain
Ask me how I’m doing, I’m just great
Won’t you be the one to hold me, then bring me down
Let me loose, then turn around
Then you’ll need to know
You will need to know
I don’t know why
Every time, change your mind
Call me in the morning where I stay
Taking a little time off in my cave
I won’t be the one to always bring you down
Cause I’m okay with my solemn frown
You still need to know
You will need to know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know why every time you change your mind
I don’t know why every time you change your mind

One More Shot

Can’t you understand
I don’t know who I am
And I don’t know what I want
Can’t you see I
Have no idea what I’m doing
Cause I don’t know what I want
But I’d give it all I’ve got
If you give me one more shot
If you give me one more shot
Caught me off guard
If I only knew where to start
But I haven’t got that far
Echoes in silence
I don’t know where we are
But we haven’t gotten far
And I’d give it all I’ve got
If you give me one more shot
I’d give it all I’ve got
If you give me one more shot
If you give me one more shot
And if you need me to be the one
If you can stand to let go of what I’ve done
I’ll lend a hand cause you’re the only one
Worth it to me now
Worth it to me now
If I’d known me better
I’d have seen a way I could neglect that
I don’t know what I want
But I’ll give it all I’ve got
If you give me one more shot

One For Me
04:09
|

|
Where you sit
Hunchbacked to mine
Think of ourselves
And waste all our time
Reach the lock
And try the key
You left on the ground
Next to me
If my arm could
Twist to hear
Your racing thoughts
Blocked at your ears
Soon enough
The silence breaks
And all of your words
Lay out in wakes
Comb through words
Her hair of silk
That spill like strains
Of runny milk
Reading her prose
On her page
And see if you can’t
Squeeze in your name
Find the last line
Her permanent ink
Let your name float
And see if it sinks
If I land
On my feet
I’ll take the other lines
Down with me
Candles float
And flicker so soft
Sending a sweet
Rose petal waft
Arms tight like
A ziplock bag
To suffocate me
Make me glad
I refuse
To believe
You’re not the right
One for me
I refuse
To believe
You’re not the right
One for me
Widow’s peak
Of the white sun’s dress
Layered so soft
On the morning theft
You’ve taken all
But still stayed true
And I’m still left
With nothing but you

Sunrise
02:17

Sunrise
To keep me bright
Daylight
To dread the night
Moonshine
Where memories lie
Pulling me down
Into the sky
Sunrise
To float up high
Daylight
Don’t ask me why
Moonshine
To see me cry
Pulling me down
Behind the sky

Something
04:06

Something I know
Something I know
Something’s got to give
Something’s got nothing to give
Something’s in the way
Something looks the other way
Something’s in her eyes but
Nothing’s on her mind
Something sits there blind
Waiting for me to find it
Something’s on my mind
Something whispers right behind
Something tries to hide
Something’s louder all the time
Something’s with her smile but there’s
Nothing in her eyes
Keep on waiting now
Keep on waiting no surprise
(whistle)
Something someone said
Keeps repeating in my mind
Something I forget
Something meaningless I guess
Something’s keeping you from
Being your very best
Now it’s lost in time
Now that we have lost this time
Now it’s lost in time
Now that we have lost this time
Now that we have lost this time
Now that we have lost this time
