Tonight

I’ve got a secret I need to admit
I want your attention again and again
We’re closer than ever, but you never see me at all
I feel electric when you’re in the room
You don’t need to ask me if I’m in the mood
You left me for years, but it rings in my ears and I know you’ll never be gone
Let’s spend another night together
I can’t get you out of my mind
Tonight I know where I wanna go
To make me feel alive
I thought I’d find something better than you
‘Cause others, they got it and I want it too
Call it a dream, but the grass wasn’t greener at all. No, not at all
You're always on my mind
I can't just hold this feeling inside
You know you're always on my mind
Let’s spend another night together
I can’t get you out of my mind
Tonight I know where I wanna go
To make me feel alive
I wanna let you know
That I didn't want to let you go
I gotta let you know
That I never want to let you go
Let’s spend another night together
I can’t get you out of my mind
Tonight I know where I wanna go
To make me feel alive
Let’s spend another night together
I can’t get you out of my mind
Tonight, let’s go ‘cause I want you to know
That you make me feel alive

Not Good Enough
03:08
|
|||
|
A disappointment, unworthy, mediocre
I’m sick of thinking I’m not good enough
I care about what people say
Wish I didn’t feel this way
I stop listening when people say
You’re never gonna break away
Gotta find a way to pass the time
and if I don’t think fast I’m gonna lose my mind
I’ve seen a million days pass me by
And if I don’t act fast I’m gonna lose my mind
A disappointment, unworthy, upsetting
I’m sick of thinking I’m not good enough
I care about what people say
Wish I didn’t feel this way
I stop listening when people say
You’re never gonna break away
Gotta find a way to pass the time
and if I don’t think fast I’m gonna lose my mind
I got a million ways to pass the time
But if I lose my mind it was a waste of time
Oh no
I let my head run again
I care about what people say
Wish I didn’t feel this way
I stop listening when people say
You’re never gonna break away
I care about what people say
Wish I didn’t feel this way
I stop listening when people say
You’re never gonna break away
A disappointing, underachiever, you're pathetic
I’m sick of thinking I’m not good enough

Stranger

He is a person I don’t know
Spent a lifetime on the road
Stuck in time, how could he know?
Remember everything before
Never been this far from home
This time let’s see how far we go
You carry everything you own
Forgetting everyone you know
Every moment is for show
As above, so below
Never been this far from home
It’s time to see how far we go
Imagine feeling so alone
As time goes by the less I know
He is a person I don’t know
Spent a lifetime on the road
Never been this far from home
It’s time to see how far we go
Imagine feeling so alone
As time goes by the less I know
Never been this far from home
It’s time to see how far we go
Imagine feeling so alone
As time goes by the less I know

Miracle
03:37
|
|||
|
These days just walking outside
With your guard down, mask off, feeling all right would be a miracle
Would be a miracle
Everyday it's getting harder to smile
Bottled up, head down till the last round, hoping for a miracle
We're hoping for a miracle
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I can't help feeling like nothing's getting through to you
Here we go again
Just like it don't matter
Where do we begin?
Would take a whole lot anyway
We're blowing smoke into the wind
When we can do better
So we might as well, might as well try to be friends
Woke up to another one loading up a gun
Running wild, acting like a child
Gonna need a miracle
We're gonna need a miracle
We need neighbors, not haters or a savior
Take a long look around and find some common ground
That would be a miracle
That would be a miracle
No matter what I say
No matter what I do
I can't help feeling like nothing's getting through to you
Here we go again
Just like it don't matter
The world is gonna spin
Around and round everyday
It's gonna bite us in the end
Unless we do better
So we might as well, might as well, might as well be friends
Here we go again
Just like it don't matter
The world is gonna spin
Around and round everyday
Throwing caution into the wind
We gotta do better
So we might as well, might as well, might as well be friends
Here we go again
Just like it don't matter
Throwing words into the wind
Would take a whole lot anyway
They're dividing us again
And we can do better
So we might as well, might as well, might as well be friends
So we might as well, might as well be friends

Open The Door
03:52

I found a way to get to you. I didn't always know how to. So close, although it felt like miles. Hiding behind distracted smiles. I did not always believe the path would work, but now I see. You took in stride what I reject. Before my eyes I saw the effect.
I lay awake wishing that you would answer me. Open the door and there you lay in peaceful dreams. I've spent so much time reaching out to you, my dear. Open the door and you're right there.
I want to see the world you see, even when it does not agree. I'll climb around your mind a while. You're such a sweet innocent child.
I lay awake wishing that you would answer me. Open the door and there you lay in peaceful dreams. I've spent so much time reaching out to you, my dear. Open the door and you're right there.
I lay awake wishing that you would answer me. Open the door and there you lay in peaceful dreams. I've spent so much time reaching out to you, my dear. Open the door and you're right there.

Doom
03:44
|
|||
|
Doom, enter unknown. Sometimes I don’t think of the past
Fumes hang in the air, float everywhere. We’re fighting to breathe disease
Not war, not aliens, no saviors will save us.
Not fire, not meteors, no one can prevent our doom
Remember the taste, cover your face, dream of the past
Soon we'll begin to break, make a mistake. With nowhere to run, we're done
The wars, the aliens, the saviors tried to save us from the fires, the media, the Gods that we want to be
Doom, lost in our words, “Costs are absurd”, and “Now’s not the time”
Soon, the end will begin, take our Eden, and leave us behind

Rome
03:53
|
|||
|
I've been thinking a lot about who to trust
Most of what people say just feels made up
And it doesn't make much sense
And I'm losing confidence in right or wrong
It's dangerous
I'm not sure of what I'm gonna do
Maybe try to change my point of view
If there's no thing as destiny
We're responsible for everything in life
We've dropped the other shoe
If they left it up to us
I'm sure it'd be a lot less dangerous
If they just left it up to us
I'm sure it'd be a lot less dangerous
What happens when we ignore the sound?
It's not so loud when it's outside my town
We're busy calling stories fake
As we read another take
Our Rome is burning to the ground
If they left it up to us
I'm sure it'd be a lot less dangerous
If they just left it up to us
I'm sure it'd be a lot less dangerous
If they left it up to us
I'm sure it'd be a lot less dangerous
If they just left it up to us
I'm sure it'd be a lot less dangerous

Hope

Hey the writing's on the wall
The letters were so small
But now they are too big to ignore
There's fiction on the walls
Somebody has to know
It can't be avoided anymore
All that's left inside can't be broken
And if I learned to fly you'd never know it
Hey the devil's at my door
We don't speak anymore
He knows I always want more
You thought your life would be different
Didn't you?
You always tried to be different
Didn't you?
You thought your life would so be different
Didn't you?
Didn't you?
All that's left inside can't be broken
I never I learned to fly
You never noticed what's left inside can't be broken
And if I learned to fly you'd never know

Every Little Part of Me
03:33
|
|||
|
Love at first sight, you fill up my life
I know we just met but you’re my everything
Always on my mind, time after time
I’ll give you every little part of me
I’ll be your light, when something’s not right
Standing beside you on your journey
And I’ll hold you high, and give you the sky
Along with every little part of me
All that I want is right in front of me
But I'll have to wait to hold you
I’ll never forget your eyes first opening
I can’t wait to bring you home
Daddy is fine and mommy is fine
Cause soon we’ll be right where we wanna be
Tucked in at night, a soft lullaby
Giving you every little part of me
I’ll be your guide, right by your side
Teach you ‘bout all the things that you see
The laughs and the cries through all of your life
Giving you every little part of me
All that I want is right in front of me
But I'll have to wait to hold you
I’ll never forget your eyes first opening
I can’t wait to bring you home
Home
Bring you home
Bring you home
All that I want is right in front of me
But I'll have to wait to hold you
I’ll never forget your eyes first opening
I can’t wait to bring you home
All that I want is right in front of me
But I'll have to wait to hold you
I’ll never forget your eyes first opening
I can’t wait to bring you home
