Brazen and careless we jumped through the seasons Golden in autumn, our heartbeats so fearless. Shoelaces knotted but tripped over fingers. You smile like an angel, your heaven it lingers. We've fallen for each other, Such dumb October lovers. We've fallen like the leaves. As winter will freeze everything. I stumble a little bit every time I see you. My laces you tied, I fall in these shoes. My heart you tied, my body will lose. I stumble a little bit, I stumble a little bit now. I wanna run away from you. I wanna run away from you. I wanna run away from you but you tied me down. Reckless and carless, we're broken and beaten. The fading of colors, both our hearts are bruising. With shoelaces muddied and dirt on our fingers, We're faux intertwined all the stains they will linger. We've fallen for each other, Such dumb October lovers. We've fallen like the leaves. As winter will freeze everything. I stumble a little bit every time I see you. My laces you tied, I fall in these shoes. My heart you tied, my body will lose. I stumble a little bit, I stumble a little bit now. I wanna run away from you. I wanna run away from you. I wanna run away from you but you tied me down. I wanna run away from you. I wanna run away from you. I wanna run away from you but you tied me down.

Eyes closed but I see what you're trying to say Dry lips I'm shaking but this isn't about me Last track this is the end there's nothing to say My heart is racing as your spirit surrounds me It feels like again and again we keep saying the same things again and again and it feels like again and again we keep saying the same things again and again Ok I will fight for you Ok I will sing for you Ok I will run for you I won't want walk away again Eyes closed but I can't fall asleep anymore Sun sets I'm scared that I'm slipping away from you It feels like again and again we keep saying the same things again and again and it feels like again and again we keep saying the same things again and again Ok I will fight for you Ok I will sing for you Ok I will run for you I won't want walk away again I won't walk away again I won't make the same mistake twice Nothing in this world matters you're the only one I need I will fight for you I will sing for you I will run for you I won't walk away again

It was a summer drive, And we felt so alive. Wasted all our time on the road. Took a trip to the sand, I held you by your hand. Wasted all our time on the shore. Now the shoreline is calling you back. Now the shoreline is calling you home. And I know that summer doesn't last forever, But the shoreline can't stand to be alone. The city called me back, Back to the place where I had grew. The city called me up, So that I'd fall in love with you. So that I'd fall in love with you. As I watched the sky blue, Turn into a different hue, An ocean breeze had caught your hair. As the sun dipped low, You began to glow, Your sea glass eyes had caught my stare. Now the shoreline is calling you back. Now the shoreline is calling you home. And I know that summer doesn't last forever, But the shoreline can't stand to be alone. The city called me back, Back to the place where I had grew. The city called me up, So that I'd fall in love with you. So that I'd fall in love with you. I find myself by the ocean, The memories come like the tide and sea foam. I find myself by the ocean, I can't forget you, I can't forget you. I find myself by the ocean, The memories come like the tide and sea foam. I find myself by the ocean, I can't forget you, I can't forget you, no. The city called me back, Back to the place where I had grew. The city called me up, So that I'd fall in love with you. So that I'd fall in love with you. The city called me back, Back to the place where I had grew. The city called me up, So that I'd fall in love with you. So that I'd fall in love with you. Carry me on your waves, And let me down your seaside. Carry me on your waves, And let me down your seaside. Your seaside, Your seaside, Oh, your seaside. I love your sea eyes. Carry me on your waves, And let me down your seaside. Carry me on your waves, And let me down your seaside. Your seaside, Your seaside, Oh, your seaside. I love your sea eyes. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, Take me down to your seaside.) Your seaside, Your seaside, Oh, your seaside. I love your sea eyes. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, Take me down to your seaside.) Your seaside, Your seaside, Oh, your seaside. I love your sea eyes. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, Take me down to your seaside.) Your seaside, Your seaside, Oh, your seaside. I love your sea eyes. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, I'm in love with your sea eyes.) Your seaside, Your seaside, Oh, your seaside. I love your sea eyes.

Have you ever missed somebody so much, That it hurts, that it hurts, that it hurts, That it hurts your heart? My god, my breath, Was taken away. My god, my breath, Was taken, Have you ever missed somebody so much, That even all the stars, Look dark in the night up above? My god, my breath, Was taken away. My god, my breath, Was taken away. I miss you, Doesn't say it. But I miss you. I miss you. I miss you, Doesn't say it. But I miss you. I miss, Have you ever missed somebody so much,(I will wait.) That your lungs don't work? Yeah they never will work. My god, my breath, (I'll never lie.) Was taken away. My god, my breath, Was taken, Have you ever missed somebody so much, (Love trusts.) That it hurts, that it hurts, That it physically hurts your heart? I miss you. (And always hopes.) I miss you. I miss you. Love's not proud. And it holds no wrongs. Love will never fail. I miss you, Doesn't say it. But I miss you. I miss you. I miss you, Doesn't say it. But I miss you. I miss, Have you ever missed somebody so much, (I'll give you,) That your lungs don't work? Yeah they never will work. My god, my breath, (All of me.) Was taken away. My god, my breath, Was taken, Have you ever missed somebody so much, (If you give,) That it hurts, that it hurts, That it physically hurts your heart? I miss you. (All of you.) I miss you. I miss you.

The basement's so crowded; there's a sea of red cups. Between drinks and cheers for the band, I spot your blue among the rest. Then I see his hand in your hand, And it all goes black. My throat is on fire. My lips are shaking And shaking for days. I'm losing grip on my cup from the sweat on my palms. I take a few more gulps to try and calm my nerves down. Everything is blurred and the guitars are blaring on. I can't understand the words but God damn I love this song. Something about the lead singer's veins bulging Makes me believe I know where he's been. A few more sips and then I throw down a few more pills. I want my muscles to be numb. I don't to feel anything. The voices all echo but are not audible. My knees are caving in. You speak to me with your devilish smile. All the while, you're slung on his arm. The room is spinning And I know I'm in love with you. The room is spinning But I'm still in love with you.

I told you that I missed you, do you miss me? Every time I call it goes to your voicemail. I told you that I loved you, Do you love me? everything I do It seems like for nothing. I've been making wishes, That you hear this. Every word I scream Is meant for your playlist. I've been spending late nights With pop punk, Wishing on stars in hopes that you're not drunk. Am I wasting my time? Do you care? Are you gone when the summer ends? Am I wasting my time? Do you care? Do you care? Can you hear me? I told you that I don't care You're fading. Still some nights I reach for my cell phone. I told you that I hate you. Do you hate me? Give me back my clothes and all of my CD's. I can tell you're lying, Your smile's fake. You didn't even listen to my April mixtape. I've been spending late nights With pop punk, Wishing on stars in hopes that you're not drunk. Am I wasting my time? Do you care? Are you gone when the summer ends? Am I wasting my time? Do you care? Do you care? Can you hear me? Am I wasting my time? Do you care? Are you gone when the summer ends? Am I wasting my time? Do you care? Are you gone when the summer ends?

Jump down turn around carry me back into your home A place she wants a getaway, Shuts her windows she shuts out everything, There was a storm outside but its clearer now. (I sit up here Between tree leaves Clouds away from Her window Her pillow her Long brown hair it Pulls me closer Blocks her face.) Likes to take the back roads in the summer, We're driving too slow when were talking to each other. Sing with the radio there's no one around. Won't go back to town cause we're so far out. (I've built walls of Sticks and tied ladders Of rope to My tree house. We can play a game Play pretend I'll chase you around.) And she's showing me songs that I can now play. (In my small tree house.) She's singing them wrong but its just a game. (In my small tree house.) She's moving along she's moving away. (In my small tree house.) She'll forget my face but remember my name. I'm gone now she's in the same place. She wants something more just look at her face. Tell me what you want, what it is you need? Tell me all the things that you want to be. (I sit up here Between tree leaves Clouds away from Her window Her pillow her Long brown hair it Pulls me closer Blocks her face.) Maybe she's a fighter the one and only She seems so tough she seems so mean. Tells me she's a writer, words serene. Give me the myth, give me the fantasy. (I've built walls of Sticks and tied ladders Of rope to My tree house. We can play a game Play pretend I'll chase you around.) And she's showing me songs that I can now play. (In my small tree house.) She's singing them wrong but its just a game. (In my small tree house.) She's moving along she's moving away. (In my small tree house.) She'll forget my face but remember my name. Boy all alone sitting in a tree m-i-s-s-i-n-g you. Says she'll put up her walls again cause we build to break in the end. And she's showing me songs that I can now play. (In my small tree house.) She's singing them wrong but its just a game. (In my small tree house.) She's moving along she's moving away. (In my small tree house.) She'll forget my face but remember my name.

I want to miss you, Like you've never been missed. I want to kiss you, Like you've never been kissed. I'm going to wish for you like, I've never wished for anything in my life. I swear, I'll love you like I never ever have tonight. I'm feeling a little bit nervous. Never have I ever been this shy. Forgive me my hands are shaking. I'm afraid that I'm not your type. Your smile has me like quicksand. I'm in a daze from the curve of your lips and, Let's see how your fingers match mine. All the boys want a taste of your hips and Right now you look so gorgeous. Oh God those perfect eyes. But I think what's taken my heart is, You got such a perfect mind. I want to miss you, Like you've never been missed. I want to kiss you, Like you've never been kissed. I'm going to wish for you like, I've never wished for anything in my life. I swear, I'll love you like I never ever have tonight.

I am falling for you, Like the autumn leaves fall down, down. Like the seasons change I, Wish they'd tell me how to move on, too. I hear the songs that you told me I had to hear. It makes me feel like you're close to me but we're Far away. I thought I wanted something new but all I want is you. If I could go back than I'd promise I'd undo, What I did. Cause all I want is you, All I want is you, All I want is you, All I want is you. You said I had my chance. Like the autumn breeze, you moved on. Like I'm chasing the wind, I am hopeless as I watch you with him. I hear the songs that you told me I had to hear. It makes me feel like you're close to me but we're Far away. I thought I wanted something new but all I want is you. If I could go back than I'd promise I'd undo, What I did. Cause all I want is you, All I want is you, All I want is you, All I want is you. I am falling for you, Like the autumn leaves fall down, down. Like the seasons change I, Wish they'd tell me how to move on, too.

You're leaving this paper town, On a paper plane. And the only thing to put, On this page, Is me wondering if I'll ever see you again, And if I do or don't, This will still be in ink. I'll stop staring at the sky, Losing myself in all these lines. Keep my two feet on the ground. It's all and I do, sto stay down. I find you in all these books, And every song. Thank you for all these words. They said you care. And I'm wondering if I'll ever see you again, And if I do or don't, This will still be in ink. I'll stop staring at the sky, Losing myself in all these lines. Keep my two feet on the ground. It's all I can do, to stay down. I'll stop staring at the sky, Losing myself in all these lines. Keep my two feet on the ground. It's all I can do, to stay down. And how could I believe? That you were more than you could be? You're just a person. You're just a girl. You're just a person. You're just a girl. I'm just a person. I'm just a guy. I'm just a person. I'm just a guy. You're just a person. You're just a person. You're just a person. But I'm a person, too.

Last week of August and you all just turn to stone. Did you forget what I did, These past four years? I miss people that I didn't think would leave. Now I got these summer skeletons of all my friends, And how they used to be. They used to be my friends. They used to be. They used to be my friends. 8 whole months passed and you didn't even call, I know it's partially my fault, But do you care at all? I miss people that I didn't think would leave. Now I got these summer skeletons of all my friends, And how they used to be. They used to be my friends. They used to be. They used to be my friends. Fractures scream out from your joints. I don't know your bones anymore. Fractures scream out from your joints. I don't know your bones anymore. I miss people that I didn't think would leave, Now I got these summer skeletons of all my friends. I miss people that I didn't think would leave, Now I got these summer skeletons of all my friends, I miss people that I didn't think would leave, Now I got these summer skeletons of all my friends And how they used to be.

(I fall down every time I ride down To get to your house On May St.) May St. It's the fifteenth. And everything Is broken. You won't call, It's so dark. I can't see The road now. A long drive, It's past two. The sirens, They burn blue. You don't need, To tell me, Why I don't Deserve you. You don't need, To tell me, Why I don't Deserve you. You don't need, To tell me, Why I don't Deserve you. May St. Its the fifteenth, And I am So broken. May St. Its the fifteenth, And I don't Deserve you. On May St. On May St.

You were alone. So write me a song. You were alone. You were alone, So write me a song. So I can sing along, So I can sing along, cause, I was alone, I wrote you this song, You could sing along, Won't you sing along? I was alone, And you were my song. So can't we sing along? Can't we sing along? (Tell me.) How did the winter, Feel on your skin? It bit through my bones. It bit through my bones. How did the winter, Feel on your skin? It bit through my bones. It bit through my bones. How did the winter, Feel on your skin? It bit through my bones. It bit through my bones. How did the winter, Feel on your skin? It bit through my bones. It bit through my bones. December 5th, I’m back at the park. I know you’re at home, And I’m in the dark. Where were your words? I needed them close. Where was your heart? I needed you most. How did the winter, Feel on your skin? It bit through my bones. It bit through my bones. How did the winter, Feel on your skin? It bit through my bones. It bit through my bones. How did the winter, Feel on your skin? It bit through my bones. It bit through my bones. How did the winter, Feel on your skin? It bit through my bones. It bit through my bones. I was alone. I was alone. I was alone. God, I was alone.

I don't remember the last time, The snowfall was so beautiful, So untouched. I don't remember the last time, Your smile was so beautiful, So untouched. And the Christmas lights, Reminds me of your eyes, It's like I'd never seen their glow before. 2... 3... 4... So can we ring in the New Years together? It's been four months but it feels like forever. Can we both watch all the fireworks glow? Whenever I'm with you, I know I'm right at home. I don't remember the last time, The winter was so comfortable, So calming. I don't remember the last time, Your smile looked so comfortable, So calming. And the Christmas lights, Reminds me of your eyes, It's like I'd never seen their glow before. 2... 3... 4... So can we ring in the New Years together? It's been four months but it feels like forever. Can we both watch all the fireworks glow? Whenever I'm with you, I know I'm right at home. I don't remember the last time, I loved you so much. I don't remember the last time. I don't remember the last time, (So can we ring in the New Years together?) I loved you so much. I don't remember the last time. (It's been four months but it feels like forever.) I don't remember the last time, (So can we ring in the New Years together?) I loved you so much. I don't remember the last time.

Have I wasted time, Living life by clocks? The sand is falling down, The meter's running out. It was a Thursday, I think, It was raining out. We ran for cover, under trees, So we'd stay dry. But autumn storms rage on and off, Like the constants in my life, I can't tell when they'll be gone. I'm sailing in this sea of doubt. Can I put my anchor down? To stop myself from falling, overboard, Overboard. It didn't hurt I think, When I watched you walk away. But now when I look back, It hurts way more than that... Time I broke my, Bones in '04. Like the constants in my life, I know how fragile they've become. I'm sailing in this sea of doubt. Can I put my anchor down? To stop myself from falling, overboard, Overboard. Here's where I draw the line. Broke my heart, hope you die. I need more in my life, Leave now this is goodbye. You've always wanted your own song, This is it, so, so long. I'm sailing in this sea of doubt. Can I put my anchor down? I'm sailing in this sea of doubt. Can I put my anchor down? (Here are the waves. Here are the waves.) I'm sailing in this sea of doubt. Can I put my anchor down? (Here are the waves. Here are the waves.) I'm sailing in this sea of doubt. Can I put my anchor down? (Here are the waves. Here are the waves.) I'm sailing in this sea of doubt. Can I put my anchor down? (Here are the waves. Here are the waves.) I'm sailing in this sea of doubt. Can I put my anchor down? To stop myself from falling, overboard. Overboard.

Rush Hour 04:08
Rush hour in the middle of the night I feel the pulse beat through my shirt my systems flirting with me I gotta dig all of the dirt outta my eyes So that I can see you clearly face to face The moon is patient And it’s kind to me as I write this song tonight a verse or two For you cause you envy all the others But you are the only one for me Our song’s on the radio I heard a hundred times But now the words mean something to me finally They were dead and drowned At the bottom of the sea You breathed life into my lungs Your hands carried me and your arms were open all the time I walked away from you But now I’m coming back to you this rush hour Rush hour I’m driving back to you Rush hour I’m driving back to you Rush hour in the middle of the night I feel the pulse beat through my shirt my systems flirting with me I gotta dig all of the dirt outta my eyes So that I can see you clearly face to face The moon is patient And it’s kind to me as I write this song tonight a verse or two For you cause you envy all the others But you are the only one for me Our song’s on the radio I heard a hundred times But now the words mean something to me finally They were dead and drowned At the bottom of the sea You breathed life into my lungs Your hands carried me and your arms were open all the time I walked away from you But now I’m coming back to you this rush hour Rush hour I’m driving back to you Rush hour I’m driving back to you

Peace 04:02
Photographs and videos of the weekends I see you smile Standing in sunlight watch you laughing I don’t know what you said but I try Everyday I pray That I see you again. Everyday I pray That you find peace. Cumulonimbus clouds out my window I see you in shapes Sitting in the dorm watch you floating I can see you up there far away Everyday I pray That I see you again. Everyday I pray That you find peace. China towns and rice cakes in the summer I miss your smile Standing in the limelight eyes closed singing You’re not here but I hope you hear this Everyday I pray That I see you again. Everyday I pray That you find peace. That you find peace. That you find peace.

You are a warm cup of coffee on, December mornings. You are a cold shower in, July. You are the cool breeze in, Crisp autumn evenings. You are the shining sun, In spring. You are rain, Tapping out secret messages. On my window. Whispering untold stories, Of our future on an island, Not known to man. And never have I wanted someone, As bad as how, I want you. And never have I wanted someone, As bad as how, I want you. I am going to love you, As fierce as ocean winds, That rip through clouds like tiger teeth, And bear claws. Like wolves making midnight wishes, On amber moons, That resonate across the sky. That twinkle, like, Movie smiles. And shake every tree for miles and miles around. And never have I wanted someone, As bad as how, I want you. And never have I wanted someone, As bad as how, I want you. And I hope that this song, Tells you everything I felt for you, For so long. And I hope that this song, Tells you everything I felt for you, For so long. (And never have I wanted someone, As bad as how, I want you.) And I hope that this song, Tells you everything I felt for you, For so long. (And never have I wanted someone, As bad as how, I want you.) ... Warm cups for cold hands. Warm cups for cold hands. Warm cups for cold hands. Warm cups for cold hands.
