She counts the stars reflected in her eyes
Runs around playing pretend
She wants to be a doctor and a princess
Gold chain hangs around her neck
Hold mama's cross and papa's wings
Reminds her they’re with her through all things
Through all things
Cuz I’ve been thinking how crazy it is
That the days move slow but the years move fast
Cuz just yesterday I was a wide eyed kid
Now I’m waking up
26
Wish I could go back
Tell my younger self
Not to spend so much time
Worrying about everyone else
Worrying about the reflection in the mirror
Or making decisions out of fear
Out of fear
Cuz I’ve been thinking how crazy it is
That the days move slow but the years move fast
Cuz just yesterday I was a wide eyed kid
Now I’m waking up
26
Time's a funny thing
And it played me for a fool
Made me think I had it all.
Cuz here I sit all these years later
All on my own
Reliving all my memories through polaroids
Wishing I had seen them through these eyes
Before they were gone
Cuz I’ve been thinking how crazy it is
That the days move slow but the years move fast
Wish I could make them last
And I’ve been thinking how crazy it is
That the days move slow but the years move fast
Cuz just yesterday I was a wide eyed kid
Now I’m waking up
26 (I'm waking up)
26 (I'm waking up)

Summer of '09
I had the time of my life
you’re not looking for the one
And I’m trying to move on
I tell you I can’t drive
You pick me up at nine
And o-oh
We’re going nowhere fast
And o-oh
We weren't built to last
And it’s hard to be somebody’s future
When they’re meant for your past.
Mmmm
Singing loud, windows down
If only we knew then what we know now.
So we spend our days
Rewriting all our mistakes
Watching boundaries melt away
And lines of friendship fade
Oh we’re both on the mend
But here we are again and
O-oh
We’re going nowhere fast
And o-oh
Thought we were built to last
And it’s hard to be somebody’s future
When they’re meant for your past.
Mmmm
Singing loud, windows down
If only we knew then what we know now.
It was glorious
A work of art
In the blink of an eye
And Looking back on it
What a beautiful mistake
Ooh
We’re going nowhere fast
and o-oh
Thought we were built to last
But it’s hard to be somebody’s future
When they’re meant for your past.
Mmmm
Singing loud, windows down
Singing loud, windows down
Singing loud, windows down
If only we knew then what we know now.

We threw caution to the wind
Jumped heart first down the rabbit hole
The rabbit hole
But when we hit the ground
Everything turned upside down
Fighting for attention
Reciprocal discretion
Watched both of us disappear
It’s been a year
And I can’t believe you’re here
standing at my door, oh
But you don’t pull me close like you used to
And I don’t smile like I did before
And suddenly it’s clear
You don’t belong here anymore
You don’t belong here anymore.
But I say stay awhile
Through gritted teeth and forced smiles
Cuz you’ve been gone for so long
But suddenly it’s obvious
That you searched the world but lost your soul
Forever chasing the unknown
And it’s been a year
And I can’t believe you’re here
Standing at my door, oh
But you don’t pull me close like you used to
And I don’t smile like I did before
And suddenly it’s clear
You don’t belong here anymore
You don’t belong here anymore
Well I have to ask it
Cuz I still wonder time to time
Do you regret the day you stopped choosing to be mine
And does she make you happy
And does she understands the truth
That what you did to me, you could do to her, too
It’s been a year
And I can’t believe you’re here
Oh does she know you’re here?
Well it’s been a year and I can’t believe you’re here
standing at my door (you’re standing at my, you’re standing at my door)
But you don’t pull me close like you used to
And I don’t smile like I did before
It’s clear that you don’t belong here anymore.
You don’t belong here
You don’t belong here
You don’t belong here
You don't belong here anymore
You don’t belong here
You don’t belong here
You don’t belong here
You don’t belong here anymore

Natural Disaster

Well I'm not gonna lie
Baby you’re on my mind
Never seen such bad decision
Have such pretty eyes and
You got the girls all around you
But I'm all you see
Brown eyes meeting blue
Oh baby boy
I could destroy you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm a natural disaster
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm a natural disaster
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm a natural disaster
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm a natural disaster
I count the hours in coffee cups
I feel myself but not too much
And storm clouds are rollin in
I start to confess my sins
You say that when it comes to love
I make no promises
But my eyes keep you up at night
How can you put up a fight
Against a natural disaster?
And you can’t say you weren’t warned
You knew when I walked through the door
That when it rains it pours
And that I'd never be yours
Cuz I’m a natural disaster
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah I'm a natural disaster
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah I'm a natural disaster
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah I'm a natural disaster
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Once upon a time
Never got it right
Mirror on the wall
Can’t be fair, gotta have it all
And so you want to manipulate me
Well I got my armor ready
And talk is cheap
Time to change the ending of this story
Cuz I don’t want to be I don’t want to be one of them
I don’t want to be I don’t want to be one of them
I don’t want to be I don’t want to be one of them
One of you...
So Run Run
Away from the darkness
You weren’t meant for this
Run run
The silence is deafening
How can this be happening?
Run run
It doesn’t make sense
But this I can promise
You’re better off alone
So Run
Broken promises
Brilliant disguises
Only built me up
To watch me fall
But I can play with the best of them
So you better be serious
With this big game that you’re talking
Cuz I don’t want to be I don’t want to be one of them
I don’t want to be I don’t want to be one of them
I don’t want to be I don’t want to be one of them
One of you...
So Run. Run
Away from the darkness
You weren’t meant for this
Run run
The silence is deafening
How can this be happening?
Run run
It doesn’t make sense
But this I can promise
You’re better off alone
So Run
Constantly fighting
No problem denying
Fit yourself into the mold
Don’t let them know you’re lying
I feel like I’m drifting
Not living just existing
And I don’t wanna be I don’t wanna be one of them…
So Run. Run
Away from the darkness
You weren’t meant for this
Run run
The silence is deafening
How can this be happening?
Run run
It doesn’t make sense
But this I can promise
You’re better off alone
So Run
Run
Run
You better run
Run
Run

After Dark

Hey um it’s me.
Listen I know it’s been awhile but this song came on
And it made me think of you and
Ok look I know this is weird just…just call me ok?
It’s hard to fight your ghost when the daylight fades
Rose colored glasses forget the pain
And you’re name, a scar
In the shape of an arrow on my heart
Pulling me backwards
Comes out of no where
And I fall back in love with you after dark
When the air is still and your memory
Crawls back to my heart
This isn’t real
Yeah I’m just lonely
And in the morning light it’ll be just me
But I fall in love with you
Yeah I fall in love with you
After dark
It doesn’t take long after the sun goes down
Cracks in the ceiling
Take me back to the beginning now
When we carved our names into each others hearts
And it broke me when we fell a part
All we have left of each other are these battle scars
But I fall back in love with you after dark
When the air is still and your memory
Crawls back to my heart
This isn’t real
No I’m just lonely
And in the morning light
It’ll be just me
But I fall in love with you
Yeah I fall in love with you
After dark
And I fall in love with you after dark.
I fall in love with you
I fall in love with you after dark
look I know this is weird just…just call me ok?

Look Around
03:14
|
|||
|
Built a kingdom out of courage and smoke and foundations of false hope
But when I crumbled I was at it's highest point
And so I threw away the crown
Started running when I hit the ground
And swore to never look back
Cuz we all know
Life’s short, can’t wait for anyone
We all know
Stay strong, you don’t need anyone
But look around
We grow up to settle down
Just searching for, praying for, looking for holy ground
Empty words strung together with sympathy
Fall at my feet
It’ll be fine, it’ll happen in time
And all this talk about love
But when push comes to shove
We fall, we fall right back in line
In line
Cuz we all know
Life’s short, can’t wait for anyone
We all know
Stay strong, you don’t need anyone
But look around
We grow up to settle down
Just searching for, praying for, looking for holy ground
In love and young and reckless
Hanging by a promise and a golden chain
Suppressed by the weight of a pain
I swore was keeping me sane
And when I waded through the tears
One thing remained the same
When I waded through my tears and all of my fears
One thing remained the same
The same
And it was
We all know
Life’s short, can’t wait for anyone
We all know
Stay strong, you don’t need anyone
But look around
We grow up to settle down
Just searching for, praying for, looking for holy ground
Just searching for, praying for, looking for holy ground
Just searching for, praying for, looking for holy ground

Wildflowers
03:42

Let me down slow
Watch me disappear
Ah, ah, ah
Dance around the room
Let me see the real you and
We’re too young to understand but
All I know is I feel at home when you
Hold my hand, hand, hand
I can be the reason you come home when you’re running out of town
I can be the falling rain after thunder shakes the ground
And I don’t belong here
You don’t belong anywhere
Wildflowers in my hair, hair
Oh take me there
Kiss me on the porch
Call me after dark
Wishing you were here
Haven’t said the words
But we both know how we feel
Nobody in this town has
Ever really figured you out but
That all changed the day that I came around
I can be the reason you come home when you’re running out of town
I can be the falling rain after thunder shakes the ground
And I don’t belong here
You don’t belong anywhere
Wildflowers in my hair, hair
Oh take me there
Just a little out of reach and
Just a little out of our league and
We were each other’s best kept dream
But couldn’t get the timing right
Watched it fall a part on New Years Night
I was saying
I can be the reason you come home
I can be the reason you come home
I can be the reason
I can be the reason…
Come home
I can be the reason you come home when you’re running out of town
I can be the falling rain after thunder shakes the ground
And I don’t belong here
You don’t belong anywhere
Wild flowers in my hair, hair
Oh take me there
