Carousel

I want this city to chase me down when I'm lonely
Left me blushing on the sidewalk cause I thought I was the only one who knew
You were a carousel but that was just a call for help
Oh what you would do to stop the world
Oh it'll be a second or two
If you are a road chase me down until I'm sleeping
Magnetic attempts to distract me from my needs
It's never been so clear to me when stars are things that we can't see
My constellation to your stars we'll never let this go too far
Foolish is just a state of mind to contend with
Said even still yours and mine will lead to happy endings
But still I took an instance to make sure you saw the world
Counted every time that it spun and you still wanted something more
Well I can't see how I can be more obvious
I want to be the things you miss, keep secrets safe just like this
Secret phrases grab me while I'm thinking but it's only you I'm dreaming of
That, and all the angels up above
I want this city to chase me down when I'm lonely
Left me blushing on the sidewalk cause I thought I was the only one who knew.

Heartstring

Baby keep my heart onto the string
It's not that I am lonely I guess I just see differently
Cause I still think back on the memories we had just one flicker and flicker and out
So could you say something kind?
Well you should say it how you want
Just say it how your heart wants you to
Don't know if you've seen all the sights
I've never had a thing like that, but you're just blind sometimes you know that
Oh what would I really give, just say that you still care or that you have something to give
And that you think I'm coming undone from things that I can't say
They will be the death of me while you're struggling to sleep.

Last Time
03:10
|

|
I lie awake to find you and all your friends just getting high
It takes a minute to comprehend, the thoughts are giving me the sends
I missed it when the hour came to, always daydreaming of you
Ah but yeah that's what you get
I sometimes wonder if you wake happier if by mistake
You might be better sleeping lonely better than with me
But who am I to say you might very well be on your way
It's always been that way
When I wake in the morning I'm afraid to see your face
Cause when I get to see you it might be the last time
Someday you'll repeat thoughts have been keeping me for weeks
I could keep it in my mind oh but what's another lie
But you and I will still collide, sharing both our separate ties
I'll love you when we say goodbye
When I wake in the morning I'm afraid to see your face
Cause when I get to see you it might be the last time

Turn
02:55
|

|
Don't turn your back on me this time as if it's fine, oh it's fine
Don't turn your back on me
You don't even try to fight, you just let it slide
I never thought you were that kind of guy
Sometimes you wanted me to stay, but yet I couldn't have it that way
Don't turn your back on me this time, watching your eyes, what's on your mind?
Don't your back or I'll probably die
Don't turn your back and say you're fine you never were the type to lie to me, oh don't you lie
But I could see you here were you half the man you were?
Saw you start to crash inside your head sometime last night
Well you weren't my type, but you were my kind of guy
And that's why I'm not alright, but I'll be just fine
Fraying at the seems as I try to breathe
Keep my head up underwater I'm drowning I'm drowning in you
Try to keep my head, waves are crashing, guess I'm drowning in you
Keep my head up underwater I'm drowning I'm drowning in you
Try to keep my head, waves are crashing, and I think the ocean's coming for me now.

Hazy

I lay here on my bed oh I wish that it was august
Just another month ahead for you and I to change this
Lay here in my dream just sweet nothings and pretty things
I know that we had that and I remember
I bought six feet of rope but it won't bring us shelter
You and I've been changing oh I wish it was the better
Close my eyes and bite my tongue and listen to a record
A talk with you could leave me wanting more than better weather...
But when i don't think at all well I see your smile
And if I don't count the time well I'm with you every night
You and I the local shows, the lazy weekends a-la-mode
The friends and bars and coffee shops, the things that make me feel so soft
Drunk and high and laugh til late, you take me to your best friend's place
Stay in your bed and see your eyes, I knew that love cause it knew mine
Christmas lights and your best clothes, some family that nobody knows
You always had me going crazy, yeah that is love it has me hazy
Bedroom talks you let me know the places that you dreamed to go
You called me once under the covers, the one that just might last forever
So hey I might have hit a spot, no need to talk I think I've got it down
You're still the best man around. <3

Haven
04:07
|
|||
|
Breathe it in and don't let go
Forget the things that you don't know
Let it go, let it grow
I sow the seeds that I have found
My mind is barren frozen ground
But oh for now
I think about it as a flame
I'm letting heartache take the reigns
I'm scared to see but there's an ease
He will call you and he will be there tomorrow
Yeah he will love you and he will see you through the night
I'm painting clouds unto the seas
Wishes on bended knees
Maybe it'll be alright
Take it up it takes me down
Lift my head but I'm not strong
And I won't pretend
It's more than what you'll never know
But that's what kept me in your arms so long
He will call you and he will be there tomorrow
Yeah he will love you and he will see you through the night
All and everything, mother earth's scary things
I will be safe and I will find this haven.
