Best For You
04:34
|
|||
|
It's that time again when I feel the need to speak up
and say what's on my mind
it is the time
One step further down
you push me further than I thought that I could ever bend
I will not break I will not let it show
As I bite my tongue I think of all the things I should've said
I'm so tired of all these thoughts of your opinions cloud my head
And now I want you to know as I bite right through and taste the blood
that it's not what's good for us
not what's good for us, not what's good for us
It's always what's best for you
No matter how I try this sinking feeling won't subside
I lie here and wonder why
Just close your eyes
When I close my eyes
I finally see through all those lies you told to get you there
One day you'll break but never learn from your mistakes
I lie here awake and you wonder why

Self Defeating
03:43
|
|||
|
Falling down, stumble though, try to find my way to you
Set it up, knock it down, pieces falling all around
And I'll be the one to run and I'll run to
You'll be the one to come around, it's true
We'll be the ones to make it all the way through
Don't focus on the meaning
Don't wind yourself up tight
cuz it's all self defeating, alright
Lost again, played it out, losing what it's all about
No one wins, cracked in two, nothing can keep me from you
And I'll be the one to run and I'll run to
You be the one to come around, it's true
We'll be the ones to make it all the way through
Find my way to you, find my way to you
with everything that we've been through
when everything it drifting out of sight
it'll be alright

Empty
03:27
|
|||
|
It's on again, let's draw the line again
Can we try one more time?
A mulligan, when neither one will bend
Just close the door and start to drive
You should've told me of the things you wanted
I thought I knew you well
Caught up in time, I thought it was you I trusted
I was wrong and you were right
My car's on empty like me inside
Won't you come and give me a ride
A timeless friend or should I think again
Is it worth spending more time?
Let's not pretend
The problems will not end
A jump start will not work this time

New Craze
02:51
|
|||
|
You carry on, your world's so hollow
Stuck in a bad phase
You're looking for a new trend to follow
Chasing the new craze
You never know which way you've gone till you're there
The circle always brings you down from the air
pulled down
What you're into, that phase is through
So you'll wear what your friends say
You caught up to what you followed
Right as it all changed
Decisions you've made have all twisted from their reasons
You're stuck in a phase shifting with the changing seasons
Your leaves are falling away

Veneer
03:42
|
|||
|
Watch the passing hours slowly slip away
Tripping through without a word to say
cuz no one has the answer and everything's out of joint
But now I see just how I missed the point
It's becoming clear I see a hole in the veneer
And we can pull through working backwards down to one
Turn back what has begun
And I can see you waiting for something to come
Wipe out what has been done
I know you have your reasons and you know I have mine too
They're just something that we all need to work through
Cuz nothing is for certain and nobody knows for sure
Always wanting things for can't find in a store
It's becoming clear I see a hole in the veneer
Wipe out what's been done

Future Tense
02:33
|
|||
|
Looking back at yesterday
Thinking of all the things I could have said and done with you
As passing time picks up it's pace
I feel I'm living life running in a maze
And we're all heading somewhere
Do you really what to know?
Cuz we still have our choices of which way we're gonna go
Left to our own devices to make our own mistakes (in time)
Because perfections always fake
I've gotta pick a new direction
That will get me where I want to be and keep me there
The hardest part is getting started
The first step is the hardest one to take

Swept Away
02:56
|
|||
|
Well it seems like such a long time
Since I knew the words to say
Could you be the one who I've been waiting for so long?
And when I asked the question I knew the answer all along
Well we've got a ways to go
swept away within the flow
So don't wrong what's right
It's the one thing that I know
When I feel I'm heading nowhere
Going after it all wrong
Could you be the one who I've been waiting for so long?
And when I asked the question I knew the answer all along
You're the one for me and I know

All Our Goodbyes
03:42
|
|||
|
I never meant to take it all this far
But you didn't even know, didn't even know
That everything's not like it was before
Is it good enough for now, good enough for now?
Is it good enough for us to stick around?
Stuck like glue can't get away
I go about everything the wrong way
Track it right back to the source
Grab the rudder set a new course
And we'll say all our goodbyes
Feeling like we've been lead on all along
Thinking that's the way it goes, that's the way it goes
Now's a chance to make it for the door
We can't hide it any more, hide it any more
Now that we can't see what it is all for
Stuck like glue can't get away
(I'll spend day with you)
I go about everything the wrong way
(Work out the details later)
Track it right back to the source
(This time I'll follow through)
Grab the rudder set a new course
(Work out the details later)

Leave It Alone
02:59
|
|||
|
Just leave it alone
Alright?
There's nothing you can do
The situation's left you black and blue
So let go of the fight
And learn from what you've been through
Stay this way and you will come unglued
So long, goodbye
There's no use in looking back to wonder why
Move on, keep sight
Better times are gonna come just give it time
You gotta give it time
And leave it alone
Alright?
Until next time you can't do anything about what is getting to you
So look on the side that is bright
It's the least that you can do
Or stay this way and you will come unglued
She moved on and so should you

Understated
02:47
|
|||
|
They can say what ever it is they want to
Never mind the ones who carry on that way
They say they know about these things when they do not
If they'd keep it to themselves you know it'd help a lot
All in all it's understated things about you feel so true
Tell me how you found a way to make me feel the way I do
All in all it's understated things about you feel so true
Tell me how you found a way to make me feel the way I do
No words can say what there is between us
no need to justify It's not a passing phase
And I don't understand those things they try to say
I know we'll prove them wrong with each and every day
They say they know about these things when they do not
If they'd keep it to themselves you know it'd help a lot

Always Wrong
03:15
|
|||
|
You left me standing there all alone stuck with my blank stare
I never had a clue till the moment I heard it for you
They knew all along
Everyone around me they kept saying you're all wrong
I'm always wrong
Got a moment?
I've been wondering just what you've been up to now?
Cuz I need to know and then I'll go on my way off to the show
and act as if I don't see you around
I've learned to do without ever since the day that you walked out
You don't need to say I'm lonely cuz I know you're not the only one

Why Do We
03:34
|
|||
|
Wake up to another day
Everything there to remind you
routine, repetition stays
Nothing ever happens here
It's all the same there's never change
So, let's get up and cut this tether
We've been stuck down here forever
Don't know where to go but we'll make good time
Why do we do the things that we don't want to?
Do the things we get pushed into?
Let's do the things we wanna do tonight
Why do we do the things that we don't want to?
Do the things we get pushed into?
Let's do the things we wanna do tonight
I've seen this episode of Malcolm before
Nothing's on TV again
I rather go hang out with friends
What do you want to do?
What do you wanna do tonight?
