I’ll say it once, as a matter of fact, I’ll say it once again You make me feel like I’m dead and gone, and this cycle never ends I’m caught in a landslide, you’re a natural disaster Everyone always said we would live happily ever after So forget the past, new memories are built to last We’ll have the time of our lives as we look to the sky So forget the past, don’t let your life move too fast This flame will never die with our poor attempts to fly Night after lonely night, I lay in this bed And think of all the ways to say that these feelings aren’t dead But I know it’s not alright to go on with this hoax You’re a faceless joke, nothing more than a ghost That tells me to be a better man, always giving my hand Go back to where it all began so to not fuck up again There’ll never be a second chance, one last endless yearning glance, And no more time for you and me to have this last dance So forget the past, new memories are built to last We’ll have the time of our lives as we look to the sky So forget the past, don’t let your life move too fast This flame will never die with our poor attempts to fly So forget the past, new memories are built to last We’ll have the time of our lives as we look to the sky So forget the past, don’t let your life move too fast This flame will never die with our poor attempts to fly So forget the past, new memories are built to last We’ll have the time of our lives as we look to the sky So forget the past, don’t let your life move too fast This flame will never die with our poor attempts to fly

Late night drive with so much on my mind I didn’t ever think this would burn out like it did last time But you won’t change, you’re stuck in all your stupid ways You’ll run away but your problems still stay This is what has come between us You nor I could have foreseen this This mess you made will fade away To a hollow shell of who you used to be You’ve left yourself stranded, wallowing in self-pity You’ve managed to burn every bridge left in this god damn city You play the victim in this life you have created And when you come crawling back we won’t pick up the pieces This is what has come between us You nor I could have foreseen this This mess you made will fade away To a hollow shell of who you used to be To a hollow shell of who you used to be Who you used to be Is this what it comes to Your true colors bleed through There’s nothing left to do but show I'm through with you Is this what it comes to Your true colors bleed through There’s nothing left to do but show I'm through with you Through with you This is what has come between us You nor I could have foreseen this This mess you made will fade away To a hollow shell of who you used to be To a hollow shell of who you used to be Who you used to be But you won’t change, you’re stuck in all your stupid ways You’ll run away but your problems still find a way to stay You play the victim in this life you have created And when you come crawling back we won’t pick up the pieces

This is it and the time has come again It's come to the point when we’re more than just close friends This ain’t fair and to think you wanna be shared But that’s not how this kind of thing works out in the end (Works out in the end) So I’ll take this shot and hope I’m not out of ammo To prepare for when we got caught In this endless game we play, its tough to take first place When the odds are against every word you say but I know it's okay You told me you love me never, but I think I know you better In the end, your mind just changes like the weather Changes like the weather From the top on a topic we know we can’t drop We should have known that these feelings just wouldn’t stop It comes to this, it was more than just that one kiss When you take the time to make the climb, I know we’ll be just fine (Be just fine) So I’ll take this shot and hope I’m not out of ammo To prepare for when we got caught In this endless game we play, its tough to take first place When the odds are against every word you say but I know it's okay You told me you love me never, but I think I know you better In the end, your mind just changes like the weather What it all comes down to, is this matter of me and you There’s only one thing left to do, but choose and you know it’s true You told me you love me never, but I think I know you better In the end, your mind just changes like the weather In this endless game we play, its tough to take first place When the odds are against every word you say but I know it's okay You told me you love me never, but I think I know you better In the end, your mind just changes like the weather Yeah

Will anyone ever know how it feels when this world doesn't feel real And these tiny bandages cover the wounds that don’t ever seem to heal So here it goes, I’m coming clean this time and I hope it shows It’s been awhile and I can’t believe how fast time seems to go Let’s take a dive, down to where our insecurities go to hide These feelings show that all of us in the end are afraid to die The floor falls out from under me as I toss under thin cold sheets Just look around and you’ll see how the outlook on life is way too bleak Everyday is a new day and there’ll be color in a world painted gray Just close your eyes and focus on all these words that I have to say There's nothing wrong, something new is always bound to come along There’ll never be more a reason for me to walk straight out the door I won’t ask anymore cuz I know the true reason for this war It won’t take long but feelings of doubt will hopefully soon be gone The floor falls out from under me as I toss under thin cold sheets Just look around and you’ll see how the outlook on life is way too bleak Everyday is a new day and there’ll be color in a world painted gray Just close your eyes and focus on all these words that I have to say Will anyone ever know how it feels when this world doesn't feel real And these tiny bandages cover the wounds that don’t ever seem to heal Is this the start to something new or a shadow of what I’ve always known The sun begins to shine through the clouds proving what everyone says is true Will anyone ever know how it feels when this world doesn't feel real And these tiny bandages cover the wounds that don’t ever seem to heal Is this the start to something new or a shadow of what I’ve always known The sun begins to shine through the clouds proving what everyone says is true

Woodlawn 03:02
You were always the first to reach out your hand You will always be my biggest fans Even when you’re off in some distant land The time has come to sing about all of you and what you’ve done I remember the days spent out in Woodlawn Where I knew that nothing could go wrong You taught me lessons that will last lifelong You showed me how to truly care A feeling that my parents shared The strength of love that will never be compared The time has come to sing about all of you and what you’ve done The day you left this world for another kind Caused me so much pain that I could never describe The effect you had on the man I’ve come to be I’ll see you soon but we’ll have to wait and see I recall all the summers spent your yard There's one thing to know you’re not too far These four roses etched down my arm The time has come to sing about all of you and what you’ve done The day you left this world for another kind Caused me so much pain that I could never describe The effect you had on the man I’ve come to be I’ll see you soon but we'll have to wait and see

Lost & Found 04:10
Where do I begin, do I go back to when we were just dumb kids, who didn't know what love is Or to the second time when I wouldn't let things be just fine Looking back at it now, shouldn't we have learned how or Our feelings in the lost and found and I don't like how that sounds Look at what's become, what's become of our memories Anybody else, anybody feels empty You're the only one, you're the only one for me It shouldn't be too hard, shouldn't be too hard to see Where this will end, I don't think we'll ever be just friends with the past in our heads A cycle we always find ourselves in before we get to begin Round and round and round we go, this song to show you're just a ghost So don't forget to see my side, when I am not the one who hides Look at what's become, what's become of our memories Anybody else, anybody feels empty You're the only one, you're the only one for me It shouldn't be too hard, shouldn't be too hard to see Look at what's become, what's become of our memories Anybody else, anybody feels empty You're the only one, you're the only one for me It shouldn't be too hard, shouldn't be too hard to see The time is now Put aside your doubts And don't let me down Don't ask why Just take the dive And always know you’re mine For the taking, look at all the life we’re wasting that’s letting these feelings fade We’re frail and breaking, both violently shaking in the cold, and now I know I should’ve stayed Look at what's become, what's become of our memories Anybody else, anybody feels empty You're the only one, you're the only one for me It shouldn't be too hard, shouldn't be too hard to see now You're mine for the taking, look at all the life we’re wasting that’s letting these feelings fade We’re frail and breaking, both violently shaking in the cold, and now I know I should’ve stayed
