GO SLOW
03:12
|
|||
It’s been a minute since I thought about the time that I was going kinda crazy with you running through my mind
And the only thing that mattered was just counting down the hours until I get you in my vision once again
We didn’t even need to think about the ways that the actions that we took were kind of blurry and a haze
And I didn’t even know that the way that we would go would lead us down this road
Go Slow
Take it down real low
Move softly
Cuz we don’t have much time anyway
Late at night when we were talking on the phone we’d be using all the words but somehow missing every tone
And messaging is worse when you can read through every verse, pick apart the notes and start again
It kind of crept up that the messed up way we started was a letter from the future saying - dearly departed
I didn’t even know that the way that we would go would lead us down this road
Go Slow
Take it down real low
Move softly
Cuz we don’t have much time anyway
Go Slow
Take it down real low
Move softly
Cuz we don’t have much time anyway
So go slow.
Move softly.
Go slow.
Move softly.
Go. Go. Go. Go

YOU

Yo wo way-yo, yo wo way-yo
Yo wo way-yo, yo wo way-yo
There's gonna be hard days ahead
Convincing myself that it's better again
You don't even know where I'm at
Breaking my heart seems so simple at best
You just do you
You take good care of yourself
You just do you
I'll work on being compelled to myself
Yo wo way-yo, yo wo way-yo
Yo wo way-yo, yo wo way-yo
It's harder when it comes from the place
Where you took down all the walls and you put them away
Thinking that I knew all the games
I didn't even know there's a new way to play
You just do you
You take good care of yourself
You just do you
I'll work on being compelled to myself
To myself
Now it's coming down to the part
Looking down the road
I can't see it laid out
Should I try to walk through the dark
Hands stretched out and I'm blinking a lot
You just do you
You take good care of yourself
You just do you
I'll work on being compelled to my
I never thought that I was gonna have to work this thing out once again
Building up the strength to keep turning and burning the flame
Out on my own in this world
Because of all the things I've observed
To myself
Yo wo way-yo, yo wo way-yo
Yo wo way-yo, yo wo way-yo
To myself
Yo wo way-yo, yo wo way-yo
Yo wo way-yo, yo wo way-yo
To myself
To myself

Everyone says we’re a perfect fit
No one ever seems to ever question it
I’m so done with thinning out like this
Why don’t we just go ahead and call it quits
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve grown up to be
Don’t try to change me I’m cool with the way I can be
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve turned out to be
Don’t try to change me
I don’t know what you’ve been going through
Things just seem so heavy up with you
You said you’ve been talking through some shit
Who’s the one that you’re communicating with
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve grown up to be
Don’t try to change me I’m cool with the way I can be
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve turned out to be
Don’t try to change me
Seems so easy to talk it all out like this
Make plans and all of the lists so that we don’t miss
One step one move got my foot out the door
Like that in a snap I am feeling much more
I beg No change me , leave my matter
I like the way I be, this one better
You want me to fulfill your dreams
But I’m just building your self esteem
Don’t you don’t you try to, don’t you try to change me
Please just let me be myself, If you want change start with yourself
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve grown up to be
(If you want change start with yourself)
Don’t try to change me I’m cool with the way I can be
(Don’t you try to change me)
Don’t try to change me I like who I’ve turned out to be
Don’t try to change me
Don’t try to change me
(If you want change start with yourself)
I like who I’ve turned out to be
(Don’t you try to change me)
Don’t try to change me (try me, change me)
I like who I’ve grown up to be

do you feel
03:14
|

Do you feel the way I wanna feel
Do you think we're gonna be for real
It broke down
Into a million pieces
It came off
And fell to the floor
I gave up
On trying to fix it
Fix it all you want
It's still just broken
It's still broken
Yeah
Do you feel the way I wanna
Do you feel the way I wanna
She just sits
Waiting for it
She's at home
But still feeling no where
She forgot
To keep on going
Going no where
Seems so much more important
Right now
Do you feel the way I wanna feel
Do you think we're gonna be for real
Do you feel the way I wanna
I don't mean to be so rude
But pick up the goddamn pieces
Just this once
Because I'm done
I'm done
I'm done
I'm done
I'm done
I'm done
I'm done
I'm done
I'm done
Do you feel the way I wanna
Hey yeah

KEEP GOING
03:26

Could we get a little leg up
Could we get a little start it from the top
Are they giving out the answers
Or maybe we just missed a crucial part
Is it going to be an open book
Can I call a friend to help me out
Is it going to be an A B C
Or leave me with a head that's full of doubt
And they're never going to break us down
No they're never going to break us down, no
And they're never going to take us out
No they're never going to take us out, hey
I don't really wanna wake up
I don't have a lot of space for this right now
Even though I'm feeling broken down
There isn't any room to scream and shout
I don't want another broken fist
I'm tired of talking at the wall
Are you going to be a helping hand
Or are you gonna make me take another fall
And they're never going to break us down
No they're never going to break us down, no
And they're never going to take us out
No they're never going to take us out, hey
Hey, no, no
I don't even know I don't even care
I don't even thinking about the things that you're gonna say
I've been on my own I've been all alone
All I know for sure
Is the only thing to do is
Keep going on and on
Keep going on
I don't even know I don't even care
I don't even thinking about the things that you're gonna say
I've been on my own I've been all alone
All I know for sure
Is the only thing to do is
Keep going on and on
Keep going on
I don't even know I don't even care
I don't even thinking about the things that you're gonna say
I've been on my own I've been all alone
All I know for sure
Is the only thing to do is
Keep going on and on
Keep going on
I don't even know I don't even care
I don't even thinking about the things that you're gonna say
I've been on my own I've been all alone
All I know for sure
Is the only thing to do is
Keep going on and on
Keep going on

I'm at an old school party
And I'm looking for a friend
She doesn't know my story
I'm too scared to say a thing
We dance too close
But never say a word
I hear her voice
But can't make out all the words
I can't make out all the words
It's getting kinda late
I love this song it can wait
Are they turning up the lights now
I just watched it all get shut down
I'll have to wait until the next round
Oooh
It's Friday night again
And I'm drinking with my friends
Laughing at their jokes
Keeping my eye on the door
It's just a mess
Working through all the suspense
Another week I guess
This is getting too intense
This is getting too intense
Two years on and I'm looking so dumb
I've been holding on to things for way too long
Passing through the week that turns into a month
Getting tongue tied again
Going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I'll have to wait until the next round
On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on [rep.]
I'll have to wait until the next round

BONES
03:40
|
|||
Out in the desert's where I lay my heart
And I know that I'm holding on to something that's part of my soul
Simple directions never felt so easy
When left and right keep meeting in the middle of the road
You keep coming late at night
Slipping the oil into my mind
[again, and again]
I don't have a strong defence
When it comes to the feeling well it never ends
[again, and again]
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But ladders and snakes are running into my home right now
I don't know where you've been going
Running around telling lies that are coming from your mouth
Nobody likes a little sweet toothed Sammy
Coming around with their offers a plenty it's so cold
Everyone knows that it comes at a price
That sweet soft gummys got a real sharp bite don't you know
You keep coming late at night
Slipping the oil into my mind
[again, and again]
I don't have a strong defence
When it comes to the feeling well it never ends
[again, and again]
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But ladders and snakes are running into my home right now
I don't know where you've been going
Running around telling lies that are coming from your mouth
I don't mean to be facetious
Just something about the patterns in my life
It's kind of funny when you finally see it
Makes me laugh until I cry
Out in the desert's where I lay my heart
And I know that I'm holding on to something that's part of my soul
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But ladders and snakes are running into my home right now
I don't know where you've been going
Running around telling lies that are coming from your mouth
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But ladders and snakes are running into my home right now
I don't know where you've been going
Running around telling lies that are coming from your mouth

The Train
03:56
|
|||
She grew up tall in a small town backyard
Never thought there was so much happening around
With open eyes she let the world seep in
Just like that the trickle turned into a douse
Then all around and in between
The walls are caving in and I'm starting to sink
A simple life just seems too thin
When the bullets and the gas start rolling in
Sometimes I dream when it's all so quiet
A sleepy mind made for a quick bedtime
Restless nights are leaving me too tired
A wall of thoughts are materializing
Raise a glass or raise a fist
We're sick and tired of it is what it is, right now
You're louder now than you've ever been
But next week's coming are you gonna fit in to the crowd
Then all around and in between
The walls are caving in and I'm starting to sink
A simple life just seems too thin
When the bullets and the gas start rolling in
Sometimes I dream when it's all so quiet
A sleepy mind made for a quick bedtime
Restless nights are leaving me too tired
A wall of thoughts are materializing
Materializing
The train is coming and it's coming in hot, woo woo [x4]
The train is coming and it's coming in hot
It ain't gonna slow and it ain't gonna stop
Tie your laces up on your marks, set, go
It's time to run so you better know
Then all around and in between
The walls are caving in and I'm starting to sink
A simple life just seems too thin
When the bullets and the gas start rolling in
Sometimes I dream when it's all so quiet
A sleepy mind made for a quick bedtime
Restless nights are leaving me too tired
A wall of thoughts are materializing
Woo woo

Confessions
03:38
|

I must confess to you
Like a young man should
I knew the day we met
That my heart would be good
Enough to win your heart
He never stood a chance
So I wrapped up all my love
Waited for you to come back
When you come back to me back to me oh
I must confess to you
About a little child
She came along one day
And made us so proud
We never planned on it
But our love was true
So I made a pact that day
To make our one love two
When you come back to me back to me oh
And another confession is coming out of me
Just like the last one
Another girl makes three
We both agreed to make our family grow
Like that our house
Went from 3 to four
When you come back to me back to me oh
So I’ll hold you close
Kiss your cheeks at night
Keep you warm
Squeeze you oh so tight
Lock the cold outside the door
Hold you up and be the man you like
The man you like
When you come back to me back to me oh
I don't know when I'll see you once again
But I know I gotta get down on my knees until then
I'm not sure if there's a party after this
But I'm shinning up my shoes if there's a chance for just one kiss
And I'm sure that I'll work real hard
To bring in all that bacon and that real big yard
I don't know when I'll see you once again
But I know I gotta get down on my knees until then

Wondering
04:01
|
|||
I’ve been wondering
How many times
We can go
Around and around and around
Can you come closer babe
I think I have something
I wanna share with you
Because you
Fit right
With me
And we
Could do anything
I’ve been thinking
Long and hard
About the countless ways to get you to come with me
And now,
I don’t know
Why you’d want to pass this up
I know that I would measure up
Because you
Fit right
With me
And we
Could do anything
Now you’ve gone away
I don’t know what is left to say
You’ve been weighing on my mind
I hope it’s not too long
Just a moment that you’re gone
By the time that you return
I’ll still be waiting
Because you
Fit right
With me
And we
Could do anything
I’ve been wondering
How many times
We can go
'round and around and around
