The Last Goodbye
03:43

Three months
One time
You said that was enough
Game's up
Last straw
Now I've called your bluff
She was here the whole time
How could I have been so blind?
And as I finally caught on
I'm running out of time
And one summer you'll be moving on
Leaving me behind
What you want
Isn't what i need
Don't wanna look at our time
And watch it bleed
Just wanna savor this night
And the coming days
Don't wanna look at our lives
And watch them fade away
A different town takes her away
I know it's not better off this way
So how
Am I
Supposed to feel about these opinions
'cause I don't know where I'd be
If you weren't staring back at me
We keep wasting our free time
That we could spend together
You always know I'll visit you
No matter the day or week or weather
And as the clock ticks down
I'm waiting for the last goodbye
A final memory you'll give to me
And I'll hold it tight
I can't forget the good times shared with me
I guess it's goodbye
Goodbye

Antithetic

I'm erratic
I'm a regular particular
And I am so afraid to fail
It's hard for me to agree with me
You see
I'll try to put this elegantly
This kind of thinking
This kind of thinking could do me in
So if you take my heart apart
And you try to figure out what makes it work
I couldn't tell you
But I wish I had directions for you now
It's not the end
It can't be
Understand there's some things I can't fix
But that's OK
If it's what you want
We'll keep it that way
Nothing's antithetic
'cause winter's always been so good to me
And I'll ask if you remember December
'cause I
Know that this is
Completely different
Than anything I've done before
'till now
Is this different for you too?
Let's scream until we're broken
Let's fall until we're blind
Just be my bedtime story
And with you I'll be just fine

Good Times
03:24
|

|
Once in a lifetime
I think not
'cause of the faces that you've got
You do it all the time
And I can't help you
You know there's no one there but
You still feel so hesitant
For you a hand I will lend
Will you use two or three?
So will you take my hand
And come with me
We'll make it there together
It's better you will see
Those lonely nights you call for me
I'll be looking at the screen
You'll be watching a movie
Time to put on something clean
And after all is said and done
I'll be thinking about you
Lying there all alone
When can I actually
Step into my comfort zone
That I know nobody's home
What would I do to get you alone
I'm tired of doing this over the phone

I just can't get you out of my head
You're all I think about when I go to bed
I just can't pay attention
And I'm losing all convention
'cause I just can't get you off of my mind
When I'm all alone
When I shut my eyes
When I'm out with the guys
'cause it's hard when kept concealed
And I love the way you feel
'cause I just can't get you off of my mind
And it goes on and on and on
It's almost over
Can't wait to go from my mind to my bed
Some people like the back
But I say what's wrong with the front
They make a lovely pair right there
They make you wanna stop and stare
In the backseat
The first thing on my mind
This is the sound of chivalry's decline
You are my favorite word and
Who really needs a shirt and
I just can't get you off of my mind

Wake up all alone
The second time in a row
But you all know what I'm talking about
And I'm all alone
To hear myself talking to you on the phone
If I quit pretending
I'm OK with nothing
Then maybe I'll be all right
If you stop pretending
That I'm not the one
OK I'd be better by now
So what is the point of this?
So lost and so helpless
You need me just to get you by
Don't turn your back on me
You need me to be there
You know it's not the end for us
Give up
Fall down
The story my fear's based around
Take back
My life
From you and the other side tonight
Can I still go on?
Even though I all ready know
That I won't be staying with you tonight
I want you to go
Move on with your life
Leave me all by myself

Make Up Your Mind
03:01
|
|||
|
You call my name
I know all about the truth that
I'm not good enough for you
I see your face
The face that changed my life, my life
In so many different ways
So if you don't you
Then how can I help you
To grow to me?
I can't move on so why can't you
Make up your mind about me?
So what's the point of this
Romantic avoidance
You like to call love
Let's just turn the clock back
So if you say "I love you"
Do you really mean to say that
"I'll be with you another day"
Another girl is right on time
But I don't know just where to find
This happiness I've waited for
If you can't tell me just what I am to you
It's not worth it

Your face is coming back in my dreams
And I don't know what to do
This thought of giving up
And falling to the ground
And I'm falling to the ground
There's something going down around
This thing inside me
It's prying out my feelings
And my thoughts to be
And I need someone
Something to want me now
To show love
The one thing that I never had
Hope for weary
Helps me sleep at night
To face the dark
I live tonight
So if I start to fall away
I know
I'm here to stay
These creature things
They come out of nowhere
There's fire in my mind
And I can't control this urge
To spend each restless breath
All my life inside

Second Time Around
02:13
|
|||
|
This is the second time go 'round
I get tired of failing now
I wanna move on with my life
Let's put the past behind us
And as I sit here now
I think back to that time
When we got up from that fall
That jeopardized our minds
The sound of the ticking clock
It's ceased to bother me
'cause I'm not pushed on time
Or this rushing ecstasy
It's number two
I'm failing to
Contribute these
Old memories
You died that day
But I'm here to stay
You cut me off
But there's no way

I saw you standing there
Your eyes they took me by surprise
A loss of words that filled my mouth that night
A life restored in me
A face that made me see hat everything will be all right
After all
I don't know
If fate brought you to me
All I know is I want you to be
Be the only one for me
Be the only one to see the truth
When I see said was
I don't know you
I don't want to go on without you
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
This place is ending
In that path that comes about to find me
But you're the one
Be there with me
To take my hand and leave
All those nights
That I cause us to fight
You're the one
That tries to save the night
If I could only see through your eyes just once
I'd be
Better off
With you near me
And she said
When I see you
All my fears turn around and run
When I'm with you I smile and
Forget my wrongs
Maybe it's fate
Maybe it's love
That brought us here
But I don't care
It's good to see you standing there
You're standing there

A.D.D.
01:30
|

People ask what's wrong with me
And I just say A.D.D.
People just can't understand
Why I count the colors in the sand
And other people ask me why
Why spend all day staring at the sky?
When people ask, I say A.D.D.
A.D.D.
It's fun like me
I'm hyperactive
But now you see
Don't ever ask what's wrong with me
You know I'll just say A.D.D.
Sometimes when you're A.D.D.
Your new best friend becomes a tree
And even when you're all alone
You think you hear the telephone
And even when you're in a bar
The best amusement is a passing car
When people ask I say A.D.D.
