Running Shoes 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Your shoes are lying by my front door That same one you don’t walk through anymore In such a rush to get away, you just left them behind Running off in the distance to see what you could find And each time I see them, I think about you Did you leave them on purpose, knowing that’s what they’d do? To keep hope alive that you just might come back Or soften the blow of you turning your back Running out of time, we exist outside of time Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind As long as the door’s neither open nor closed Allows you to trust I will always be yours My shoes are lying by the front door Clean and unused, I don’t walk anymore There’s nothing left out there I want to explore They’ll just have to wait ‘til you open the door Running out of time, we exist outside of time Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind As long as the door’s neither open nor closed Allows you to trust I will always be yours Somewhere you’re running, still running away Where you are headed, no one can say Running in circles, awaiting the day You tire of running and throw them away Your shoes are lying by the door next to mine Wondering, like me, if we’ve still got time Time yet to wait, we’re not going nowhere Until you can fill them, those shoes will be there No one else can fill them, those shoes will be there Running out of time, we exist outside of time Waiting and hoping and trusting you blind As long as the door’s neither open nor closed Allows you to trust I will always be yours

Remember The Time 02:59

Remember the time we played hooky from school Dressed up at the thrift store and acted like fools Remember the hours we sat in the bleachers Writing songs making fun of our least favourite teachers Remember the time we were too young to drive We cranked up our playlist and went for a ride Remember the night we tried to run away The woods were too cold, we decided to stay I won’t see you tomorrow Toast to us and I wish you well Our story’s not over Another chapter and more to tell I won’t see you tomorrow I can’t say how and I can’t say when Our story’s not over Hold on tight and I’ll see you then Remember the day that your grandmother died We hid in the bathroom and hugged while you cried Remember the day of your parent’s last fight You were scared, you were angry, so you stayed the night Remember the time you asked and they said “yes” You asked what I thought and they sure passed the test Remember the moment that you got the call Every dream you’ve imagined, now you’ll see them all I won’t see you tomorrow Toast to us and I wish you well Our story’s not over Another chapter and more to tell I won’t see you tomorrow I can’t say how and I can’t say when But our story’s not over Hold on tight and I’ll see you then I’ll miss having you by my side every day But life’s about changes, you know I can’t stay And all our adventures, I’ll pin by my bed And I’ll imagine that you’re here instead Remember the time that we had together And all the tough times we managed to weather Remember the laughs and the joy and the thrills That bond us together, I promise I will I won’t see you tomorrow Toast to us and I wish you well Our story’s not over Another chapter and more to tell I won’t see you tomorrow I can’t say how and I can’t say when Our story’s not over Hold on tight and I’ll see you then

Home Is Where The Heart Aches 04:22

Hear the ping, put the phone face down Hide my grin as my heart pounds Stolen moments, precious seconds Behind locked doors Hear the ping, put the phone face down Hold my breath as my heart pounds Walk on eggshells, plan my words, jump at every sound We watch the time, whatever it may be Enjoy a world where it’s just you and me Living love songs, soft and slow Sharing secrets only we can know Robbing clocks like we’re Bonnie and Clyde On the run just enjoying the ride Just you and me, the world in between Will we get away with everything we’ve been? Home is where the heart aches But it’s all I’ve ever known Once believed it was my dream But with you that dream has grown Home is where the heart lies Feelings I can never show When what should feel wrong feels right Wish that I could spend the night But I have to go Homemade dinner, sitcoms on TV Change the bulb that’s been dead for weeks Close lipped, goodnight kisses “I’ll be up soon” Order pizza as a special treat Screens are off, homework’s complete Bedtime stories, goodnight kisses “I’ll be up soon” Could you give up all that you had planned When no one you know would understand Could you live a lie hiding who you’d be With no one to trust or confide in but me We live under covers, our blinders on Don’t look ahead or it could be gone Where do we draw the line that we’ve already crossed When whatever we choose is too great a cost Home is where the heart aches But it’s all I’ve ever known Once believed it was my dream But with you that dream has grown Home is where the heart lies Feelings I can never show When what should feel wrong feels right Wish that I could spend the night But I have to go When you find forever too late You can’t help but make mistakes And you can’t let go when it’s more than you can take When you find how life should be And you finally feel free How do you go back to what you thought was happy Home is where the heart aches But it’s all I’ve ever known Once believed it was my dream But with you that dream has grown Home is where the heart lies Feelings I can never show When what should feel wrong feels right Wish that I could spend the night

This Side 03:43

We pause and reset, both count to ten We both know it’s gonna happen again You make it look so easy Just getting out of bed Eyes on the ceiling, yes I’m still breathing Looks like I’m one step ahead The morning after battle "I’m sorry" is all I can say It’s not enough for forever But I pray it’s enough for today You promise I can trust you But we know odds are slim My grip on this weakens, I can’t drown the demons They know how to swim What if I gave and I gave and I gave All that you could take and take and take What if I’ve lived & lived & lived Through all you can forgive, forgive, forgive Has my fuse finally reached the end of your rope Has the time come at last when you’ve run out of hope Will you finally realize that you can’t cope Am I unsafe with you? Can you build a future on uneven ground When I am an earthquake, no shelter found I’ll push you out of my world but please don’t disappear I’ll hate you for leaving, consumed by my fear Please say you know that this isn’t me Believe in the person that I wanna be I’m trying my hardest, what more can I do? To get you to love me the way I love you Have you finally had enough? Is today the day that you’re done? There’s a price I pay, for all I say Another cycle’s begun What if I gave and I gave and I gave All that you could take and take and take What if I’ve lived & lived & lived Through all you can forgive, forgive, forgive Has my fuse finally reached the end of your rope Has the time come at last when you’ve run out of hope Will you finally realize that you can’t cope Can I be safe with you? Please be here tomorrow Don’t listen to what I may say This side has been winning, from the beginning Can we try just one more day? What if I gave and I gave and I gave All that you could take and take and take What if I’ve lived & lived & lived Through all you can forgive, forgive, forgive Has my fuse finally reached the end of your rope Has the time come at last when you’ve run out of hope Will you finally realize that you can’t cope Am I unsafe with you? Can I be safe with you? We pause and reset, both count to ten I tell you I’m sorry, and it all starts again

Wendy 03:45
lyrics

She was a skeptic But also a dreamer Looked up at her star Said “make me a believer I don’t believe in fairy tales It’s just the way things are Princes, castles, and magic Are a world that feels too far” But just for an instant She closed her eyes, she flew “Maybe this is it”, she said “To the land I never knew” She said “It feels too good to be true” Almost as if she knew As if she knew Everything she imagined She could touch, she could feel She pinched herself and said “This is my life and it’s real!” Friends, family, a home And new treasures found Across the land and sea Always adventure bound She said “Something’s not right...“ As she noticed the crack And the home that she loved Told her “It’s time to go back” She said “Was it too good to be true?” Almost as if she knew As if she knew She closes the curtain To shut out the light Hides under the covers And dreams about flight No longer imagines Accepting her fears She’s drowned in tequila and tears She said “It was too good to be true” Almost if she knew She knew She peers through the curtain A glow from afar Blinks up at the glimmer Of that second star And now in this world Where nothing’s the same She knows there are some things That will never change

Even Now 02:47

Even now I can smell your clothes Freshly from the wash Still hot from the dryer Even now I can smell your skin As I wrap you in a towel Lay you on the bed, and try to love you Even now I can feel your arms I can feel your breast I can hear your songs And I always can find you again Even now I can feel your hand Gently over mine With almost no weight at all Even now I can feel your eyes Watch me as I strum Much too late at night Even now I can see you smile I can hear you hum I can hear you sing And I always can find you again Even in the dark of night Even in the lowest light Even as the world outside is spinning And spinning Even now I can feel your hair Blow across my cheek As we sit in one of two chairs Even now I can feel your face Resting on my chest Wrestling for sleep and failing at it Even now I can see you sleep I can see you dream I can see you fly And I always can find you again And I always can find you again

Welcome Home 04:18
lyrics

Welcome home, step inside these doors The rain and cold and dark outside won’t hurt you anymore Take a breath, take my hand I’ll show you to your room It may not seem like much right now But you’ll learn to love it soon How do I do this? I’m lost confused and scared Last night I lost all control, unfocused, unprepared Is this how it ends? Or how it begins? We scream and fight this silent war And I’m not sure who wins Am I safe? Without you by my side? All I want is you to hold me now And tell me everything will be alright Am I home? Welcome home Here you’ll never be alone New friends and games, even a TV But I’m suspicious of your tone I gave it all They took my phone, my clothes, my shoes But they couldn’t take my dignity When there’s nothing left to lose I got a shiny blue band It even had my name It’s what you use to call me But it doesn’t feel the same Is this how it ends? Or how it begins? We scream and fight this silent war And I’m not sure who wins Am I safe? Without you by my side? All I want is you to hold me now And tell me everything will be alright Am I home? “Where are you? I miss you. How could you leave me here?” I say to those that love me most, when I’m the one they fear I shattered a glass frame of us, to hurt both you and myself Then they locked me up inside my room And told me this would help Maybe I can do this, now I’m focused and prepared Tonight I’ve regained all control, this new me isn’t scared This is how it ends And not how it begins We screamed and fought this silent war And now we know who wins And I’m safe Without you by my side Someone strong holding me now And I know everything will be alright Cause I’m home Cause I’m home Welcome home

The Other Side 03:25

If your heart is heavy If your mind is stressed If your soul is weary Plagued by unrest If you’re lost among All the things unsaid If you can’t quiet the noises In your head You know your light will shine again If you feel too empty and Somehow still too full If you can’t decide whether To push or pull When every thought Blends into grey When you can’t find the words You need to say You know your light will shine again It’s better when you stay here Oh, if you only knew Believe that you are more than this And soon you’ll find it’s true You’ve walked this road before You’ve been tested, you’ve been tried These dark skies will turn brighter And you’ll see the other side If you feel a void You’re too tired to fill If you know the way But you lack the will When it’s all or nothing All just black and white When solitude takes over And there’s no end in sight Your light will shine again You’ll win another battle Don’t have to fight alone These scars show you are stronger Than any hurt you’ve ever known This road may come again But you’ve been tested, you’ve been tried You’ll conquer what’s before you And you’ll see the other side

Bad For Each Other 03:07

Everyone’s been saying to get over this delusion I’ve done a lot of thinking and I’ve come to this conclusion We had it so bad, so bad it was good The cautionary tale of our neighborhood Books and brains were always part of the plan Daddy wouldn’t let me move to Cali in your van So I’m standing at your door on a rainy day I can’t make the same mistake, so I have to say I don’t care if we’re bad for each other I don’t care that I’m scared of your mother I don’t care that people stare When we kiss too long or laugh too loud Doomed to fail, so they say Only a star-crossed cliché I can’t wait to disobey Something about this feels meant to be My mother will be mad but my dad will be madder Like the time you snuck into my room with his ladder My sister’s not impressed and won’t be too thrilled She’s still bitter about the prom dress and the wine that you spilled Uncle Reggie’s still mad that you stole all his tools Aunt Debbie still gags about us in her pool Mr. Clark still goes pale when he remembers the night They got an eyeful at the theatre when he flipped on the light Brooke thinks you’re a loser Brad thinks you’re a prude Everyone in town has got the same attitude, but I don’t care if we’re bad for each other I don’t care that I’m scared of your mother I don’t care that people stare When we kiss too long or laugh too loud Doomed to fail, so they say Only a star-crossed cliché I can’t wait to disobey Something about this feels meant to be All the doubters, all the downers All the skeptics, all the hate All the ones who said we wouldn’t make it Past our second date They can wave their red flags all they like And we’ll wave right back as we fly by You’re wild and you’re free, I’m tame and insecure You’re the smart and the calm one when I’m never sure I analyze and overthink, you never second guess I’m reckless and impulsive and you know what’s always best We may never have class We may never have money But I think you’re smart And I think you’re funny You’re worth it in the end whatever that may bring So I have no intention of giving up a thing I don’t care if we’re bad for each other I don’t care that I’m scared of your mother I don’t care that people stare When we kiss too long or laugh too loud Doomed to fail, so they say Only a star-crossed cliché I can’t wait to disobey Something about this feels meant to be Something about this feels meant to be

Champagne Problems 03:49

You booked the night train for a reason So you could sit there in this hurt Bustling crowds or silent sleepers You're not sure which is worse Cause I dropped your hand while dancing Left you out there standing Crestfallen on the landing Champagne problems Your mom's ring in your pocket My picture in your wallet Your heart was glass, I dropped it Champagne problems I told my family for a reason I just couldn't keep it in My sister splashed out on the bottle Now no one's celebrating Dom Pérignon, I brought it No crowd of friends applauded My hometown skeptics called it Champagne problems I had a speech, now I’m speechless Love slipped beyond my reaches And you couldn't give a reason Champagne problems Your Midas touch on the Chevy door November flush and your flannel cure "This home was once a madhouse" I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me" How evergreen, our group of friends Don't think we'll say that word again And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls That we once walked through One for the money, two for the show I never was ready, so I watched you go Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you "She would've made such a lovely bride What a shame she's fucked in the head, " they said But you'll/I’ll find the real thing instead She'll patch up the tapestry that I/you shred And hold my hand while dancing Never leave me standing Crestfallen on the landing With champagne problems Your mom's ring in your pocket My picture in your wallet You won't remember all my Champagne problems I won't remember all your...

Look in the mirror, do I hate what I see Who is this stranger staring back at me? Oh what will you think about me? I catch your eye, I smile and you grin Seems like it’s time we could both use a win But what do you think about me? I stare at my phone and wait for your call Trying to remember if I dropped the ball You ask me to see you, and all time stands still I’ve dreamed of this moment, please say that you will… Call me your shining star Remind me I’ve come so far From before, from who I once was I’ll treasure, I’ll savour this moment because This time it’s all so real Remind me that I can feel The thrill of each of your lines That tell the whole world that I’m doing just fine With you I talk, you listen, I dance, you lead Is this what it’s like to be finally free Oh what do you picture with me? Can I do this? Will I still be able? Will I be the joke at your dinner table? Oh what do you want me to be? I wait in the wings, the spotlight comes on Trying to remember the words to our song My heart is pounding and I can’t stand still Please hold my hand, please say that you will Call me your shining star Remind me I’ve come so far From before, from who I once was I’ll treasure, I’ll savour this moment because This time it’s all so real Remind me that I can feel The thrill of each of your lines That tell the whole world that I’m doing just fine With you How do you know just what to say When all of my words are just drifting away? Am I too much or just not enough? Is this the end of the one thing I loved? Am I still your shining star? Have I actually come this far From before, I’m still who I was I’ll dust myself off and start over because It’s worth it for something real And somewhere inside I can feel The thrill of each of your lines So tell the whole world that I’m doing just fine Your shining star I’m doing fine
