Softly, sitting and breathing and
Waiting, to hear you calling my
Name, just hearing you
Speak makes it all seem okay
Though lately the imminent
Ends of your sentences
Are looking quite grim
Can’t bear to hear them
And I understand
That it’s hard for you
To see us as being
More than just friends
Let me say
That all that you’ve seen
Is the worst side of me
When your around
That’s all I can seem to be
And I’m an expert
At hiding myself
From those who I care about
And baby I care for you
More than I’ve ever cared
For anybody else
So it comes as no mystery
To me why you say,
“I don’t really know you”
But I think that you might love me
If you knew me, I’m beggin’ you to
Since you successfully located everything
That I hate about myself I am forced to find
Things I could hate about you
But this list keeps coming up short
Too tired, lost, and misspoken
To count the days we’ve lost
You left me cold on the streets
With nothing but my empty heart
Bring back the way things used to be
I just want to tell you
How I feel
But it's not the right time
It's never the right time
And I wanna let you know
Just what you mean to me
And it's my hope
That I mean the same to you
But the problem with hope
Is that all it's given me
Is a reason to stay alone
So I've been on my own
Clutching my hope
That maybe one day
You'll come to love me
Now I'm screaming from my solitude
Still hoping that you'll love me too
And it seems I'll stay alone
Until I shake this hope

What Comes Next?

This is the first time You spoke through my eyes
Lets throw it all away
Right in front of everyone to see
These long nights
Have wasted three lost years
And I can’t wait to see you here
Is this the same conversation?
We’ve had twelve times before
I don’t mind I love to hear your voice
It’s not time to give it up
Please say you might be lonely
Procrastination wont be
Pulling me back tonight
If the circumstances come
Right over my head
It’s safe to say
No regrets to take the fall again
Down by the river
You feel a million miles away
I can’t myself to dream another day
Are we too much to ask for?
Let’s do away with crashing skylines
Until they all turn blue again
Farewell to the masses that you brought to shame
Give me another second and I'll start to breathe
My hope isn't gone, but I'm not the same
I hope that you'll realize
Write a note on the pages we once turned
Cuz second guesses kept me waiting for so long
Please delay the silence, delay the silence
Cuz that’s what got to me

Don’t bring a conflict here tonight
Bring your best
But plan for the worst
There’s not a possible situation
That will make me leave first
Another day I’ll be on time
To see the peace in full fight
Tonight you’ll see me alive
Not just like every day
If I know one thing to say
Another picture frame can take this pain away
You just take my breath away
Believe my other wish
Spent living in the bottom
Of a fountain
I know I’ve found you, I know I’ve found you
So bring me back to life
We'll pick up right
Where I left off
To spend every second
Breathing for our love
I know you’ve got the words
But listen to my voice
You’ll always be the one for me
If you’re gone another night
Please let me carry you home
The chemistry of youth
Brought another night of
Waiting by your front door
By your front door
In your loving grace
I’ll never worry
I know I’ve found
What it takes for you

We’re digging deeper to find
What’s yours is mine and I’m done in this fall
There’s only nine months waiting to see
“Where do we belong”
In this moment when we capture
What’s left to trust but I’m not missing much
It’s a true disaster that is more than you can take
All my life I’ll pass the time
And say goodbye to the lies
That will never bring me down
Tomorrow is my final try
Faith and love are the only things
That tend to stay alive
The truth is here come right inside
It’s the only way to see a day
When you don’t have to hide
You’re misguided in this new
It’s more than satisfaction
It’s just the way to keep my head on strait
Before it starts to numb
I’ll try
To make my secrets float away
Now there’s something better to say anyway
Just say it anyway
We’ll turnit up a notch
Just to see what we can change
In the comfort of my room alone
But I’m not alone
This song’s not coming in loud
Cuz I’m without a doubt
The way I always should be
But I should’ve never been here

I’m falling faster
Than you can see
My screams cry out
For the love you gave to me
You hold me for eternity
With dreams of falling stars
Broken with nightmares
Of all my darkest falls
For what its worth
I have so much hope
For what its worth
I’m almost home
All my sorrow and shame
Can’t mean anything
When failure drives me
To the ground
Supply me with
Hope and lungs to breathe
Take me where you want
Me to be
Oh I am yours
I am yours
Don’t let me fall short
Give me the strength
To walk this earth
A hopeful man
With a humble heart
These waves are
Closing in on me
To wash away everything
Between This dirt on my shoulder
And the stain on your jeans

Why do all of your imperfections
Seem so sweet to me?
It seems no matter what you do
I will just keep pursuing you
And now I’ll stand here, just stand as you
Spit in my face
It’s so easy to move forward
But not so easy to move on
When I’m not the only one
Who am I? Can you fill me up inside
What will it take to leave again
My heart is dry and so out of place tonight
I cannot bear to see you standing there
A smile on your face But I’m over here
I’m calling out to the irrational side of you
You and me baby we were meant to be
Like destiny, now hear my plea
You just leave and come to me
Then stay right here for eternity
Every mention of him sends me over the edge
Every little hint of your discontent
Can I take the shame again?
At least now I know I have a chance
These thoughts will still be here in the morning
You put the mourn in morning
This nightmare won’t stop
When I open my eyes
I want you all to know
That when Love takes control
You can never go
Until it sets you free

Make It Count

We’ll make it count when
We’re together
Another night I wont forget
The stain of your lips
It’s not a secret that
I can’t be without you
Believe me tonight
This is where I'm meant be
The wait is over
Together here tonight
And I can see you’ll always be
So perfect in my eyes
Your head on my shoulder
And whisper in my ear
Take vow so that
Tonight will never end
There's so much to get off my chest now
My hearts still beating as it falls out
We'll go down in flames
With our love and shame
Just to be here together, forever
Last year won't make a difference
A long walk home
I count the stars
Right before my eyes
I see my life
It isn’t much but I’m still here
But I’m done with waiting
Don’t you forget
That it’s only you

There’s no where else to turn
There’s no one left in sight
The seasons change faster than
The time we’ve spent alive
I’ll take a second glance
Of someone that could be mine
My back’s against the wall
Because there’s no where left to fall
I can see it in your eyes
I’m not getting very far
But I just wanna let you know
But I’ve just gotta let you know
I wont let you go
The temptation’s growing
To forget you where alive
And the hourglass is waiting just
To run out of time
I wanna scream for everyone to see
There’s more to life to make believe
Than waking up alone
I’ll take a second glance
Of someone worth my time
How can we live
When we’re scared to death of dieing
And after all this time
I wasn’t close to dieing at all
The taller you are
The harder the fall
Will you wake up time
To see me with nothing at all
