Sidelines 02:53
Sidelines I hate letting people in I can't begin to make these amends 'Cause I'm a constant disappointment I've burnt bridges I'll build walls up around my heart This is a bright new start for me (So you say this is not what I wanted And in time you'll find exactly what you needed And I'm here to tell you girl that I'm waiting on the sidelines) I can't believe that I can't make these amends Like a kid builds towns out of sand I build my walls out of glass Everyone can see through my best So I'll keep burning bridges again I can't believe that I can't make these amends I've burnt bridges I'll build walls up around my heart This is a bright new start for me (So you say this is not what I wanted And in time you'll find exactly what you needed And I'm here to tell you girl that I'm waiting on the sidelines) I can't believe that I can't make these amends

Crossroads 03:00
Crossroads I meant every word I said As you left me at a crossroad With nothing more than notebooks and dried up pens To express and confess My views on this life and the sights I've seen Worn out souls in the gravel From wasted youth that had to gamble All they were destined for And I once heard time kills slowly So I guess I'm headed out to Reno Roll of the dice is all I need Before you tie yourself in knots (I hope you know I meant every word I said) Take a rope that's long enough to guide you home Before your tongue gets tied in knots (I hope you know I meant every word I said) Exploit your youth with a rope that's long enough To guide you home At my expense I'm wasting breath Telling you the lies you wanna hear To your demise I am the prize I meant every word I said Before you tie yourself in knots (I hope you know I meant every word I said) Take a rope that's long enough to guide you home Before your tongue gets tied in knots (I hope you know I meant every word I said) Exploit your youth with a rope that's long enough To guide you home Woah, woah I hope you know I meant every word I said I meant every word I said As you left me at a crossroad

Missing You 03:07
Missing You Before the letdown I'd like to know What it takes to see inside of you (Inside of you) I hate this side of you Before the letdown I'd like to know What it takes to see inside of you I hate this side of you We've made mistakes but that's okay Well I've never liked perfection in any way I've missed chances, swallowed my pride I guess I'd like to know, how you feel inside I'm so far away So far away from home Before the letdown I'd like to know What it takes to see inside of you (Inside of you) I hate this side of you Before the letdown I'd like to know What it takes to see inside of you I hate this side of you We made mistakes and that's okay I've let you down in so many ways I wish I could make all this right And leave your room without a fight What would your day even feel like Without a hint of blue It's been a week since I've been gone and I've been missing you What would your day even feel like Without a hint of blue It's been a week since I've been gone and I've been missing you Before the letdown I'd like to know What it takes to see inside of you I hate this side of you Before the letdown I'd like to know What it takes to see inside of you (Inside of you) I hate this side of you

Detour 03:07
Detour I'm just a detour, the one that you avoided again I know my sadness will never be yours to mend Still I hate this damn street for the memories it holds But I'm stuck here waiting in these worn down clothes I'll be your detour (I will keep you as a memory) You're just another line by my pen All road signs pointing To my dead end I knew these sidewalks would never hold much comfort And now I'm left to wonder why Your arms didn't either Life was never meant to be just right Things were probably the worse for us tonight (I will keep you as a memory) Life was never meant to be just right But things were probably... (It's the only thing you should be) I'm just a detour, the one that you avoided again I know my sadness will never be yours to mend Still I hate this damn street for the memories it holds But I'm stuck here waiting in these worn down clothes I'll be your detour (I will keep you as a memory) You're just another line by my pen All road signs pointing To my dead end I'll keep you as a memory And that's the only thing you should be You know that time can't help us now And I'll be waiting on you somehow I miss the times in Thousand Oaks And I can never thank you enough, for what you did for me How you helped me see so clearly Still I just can't believe that I'm just a detour… ...the one that you avoided again I know my sadness will never be yours to mend Still I hate this damn street for the memories it holds But I'm stuck here waiting In these worn down clothes I'll be your detour You're just another line by my pen All road signs pointing To my dead end

Made My Bed 03:30
Made My Bed I made my bed up on the sidewalk I see you laying in bed Right where I left you And I'm about to do things You know that I have to My fists are shaking and my palms have start to sweat My tongue is tied 'cause I don't wanna feel regret My fists are black and blue I'm getting over you My fists are black and blue I'm getting over you now So when the night closes in Will the sky turn dark blue You see me looking up from the sidewalk I'm still thinking of you So when the night closes in Will the sky turn dark blue You see me looking up from the sidewalk I'm still thinking of you My fists are black and blue I'm getting over you now (My fists are black and blue!) My fists are shaking and my palms have start to sweat My tongue is tied 'cause I don't wanna feel regret My fists are black and blue I'm getting over you Walked into my bedroom for the last time I made my bed with you inside And that is right where I left you So when the night closes in Will the sky turn dark blue You see me looking up from the sidewalk I'm still thinking of you So when the night closes in Will the sky turn dark blue You see me looking up from the sidewalk I'm still thinking of you I'm thinking of you

Fall 03:34
Fall I put my heart on a hook and line For the last time I gave up my life I gave myself to a broken town Where the kids cared and never let me fall down All I ever had, were these dark songs And you came along, like the clouds cared only for you Baby, baby tell me why I'm the first to fall If it weren't for this town I'd never met you at all Its the kids who brought us here And the life that I've made clear In this foggy and broken town I cast my heart in a pond of lies For the first time, it was swallowed alive I have this town to fall back on And they stand by my side They're the crutch for my life All I ever had, were these dark songs And you came along, like the clouds cared only for you Baby, baby tell me why I'm the first to fall If it weren't for this town I'd never met you at all Its the kids who brought us here And the life that I've made clear In this foggy and broken town In this foggy town I had no one Now I have you Its the kids who brought us here And the life that I've made clear In this foggy and broken town

Lost Things 04:28
Lost Things Can you begin to stage this act of lies When all my trust is compromised I'm getting over being sober For the first time this week I made up lies, to tell myself So I can feel like someone else I've been to hell and back Hiding sorrow in some whiskey And a beat up van That breaks down on every highway Can't stand a world that keeps on taking Never giving, only receiving I'm always giving, never receiving anything I've lost the things I used to love It took a while to feel the loss I miss the life we had at fifteen I hate the way I feel inside Most of the time I just want to be happy with my life Can you begin to stage this act of lies When all my trust is compromised I'm getting over being sober It's been 6 years and I still feel the loss At age fifteen you can't have much We lost our innocence lets not dispute that You answered questions that I never should have had I lost my rights to the place I call home And can I finally stand on my own? (Instrument break) I've lost the things I used to love It took a while to feel the loss I miss the life we had at fifteen I hate the way I feel inside Most of the time I just want to be happy with my life I've lost the things I used to love It took a while to feel the loss I miss the life we had at fifteen I hate the way I feel inside Most of the time I just want to be happy with my life

Alone 03:44
Alone I'll sit in my garage Cold and alone With you on the phone I listen to the patter of the rain Just to occupy my mind for this moment I need you here I'm taken back by you It's something I never thought you could do Am I heels over head For a girl that can barely stand to hear my name Please just tell me you will stay I'll sit in my garage Cold and alone With you on the phone I listen to the patter of the rain Just to occupy my mind for this moment I need you here I'm taken back by you It's something I never thought you could do Am I heels over head For a girl that can barely stand to hear my name (I need you here, I need you here) Please just tell me you will stay Just leave a note To say you'll be alone For some time I'm taken back by you It's something I never thought you could do Am I heels over head For a girl that can barely stand to hear my name Please just tell me you will stay

Wilder 03:53
Wilder Do you really want to keep the same routine Can you believe that I've been doing this since eighteen It's led me nowhere This roads led nowhere I've tread so lightly On this road I've come to know And I'm finding, there's not a single way out My dad once told me, that I should keep my head on straight I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you then But I'm listening to you now Do you really want to keep the same routine Can you believe that I've been doing this since eighteen It's led me nowhere This roads led nowhere Four odd years later I've come to know Nothing more than myself But at times, it's hard to find Even a glimpse So just hold on, hold on For your dearest life I've tread so lightly On this road I've come to know And I'm finding, there's not a single way out I miss the old days where I used to be okay And sense made me and I made none But that was days ago Do you really want to keep the same routine Can you believe that I've been doing this since eighteen It's led me nowhere This roads led nowhere Goodbye old friend, I'm giving in

Tunnels 04:02
Tunnels I've come to terms with exactly how I feel Just like you, I like my solitude And it's gonna be a sleepless night If we get over, we'll get older We'll survive another year If we get over, we'll get older I've made my mind into something that I fear I'm filled with frustration at the thought of being well I'm driving people away, while making the same routine mistakes I'm looking for a light at the end of the tunnel I've come to terms with exactly how I feel Just like you, I like my solitude And it's gonna be a sleepless night If we get over, we'll get older We'll survive another year If we get over, we'll get older And was I this far gone a year ago To know my downfall, was always coming I'm better off sleeping alone And was I this far gone a year ago To know my downfall, was always coming I'm better off sleeping alone I just wanna be normal I've come to terms with exactly how I feel Just like you, I like my solitude And it's gonna be a sleepless night If we get over, we'll get older We'll survive another year If we get over, we'll get older I feel out of place in my own skin I put up walls to keep your thoughts from digging in Your thoughts are digging in Am I striving to be, someone that I'm not? I've come to terms with exactly how I feel Just like you, I like my solitude And it's gonna be a sleepless night If we get over, we'll get older We'll survive another year If we get over, we'll get older And was I this far gone a year ago to know my downfall (If we get over, we'll get older) Was always coming I'm better off sleeping alone (If we get over, we'll get older) I just wanna be normal
