Came Around

I came around and saw you there
Standing above me in mid air
I came around and saw you there
Wild eye with a haunted stare
And you said
Leave me here, I don't wanna drag you down
But I'll do all I can
To get you back on the ground
I hear your voice and I feel your cries
I see your pain deep inside where you try to hide
I swear I could almost read your mind
As you tell me lies that you're alright
And you say
Leave me here I don't wanna drag you down
But I'll do all I can
To get you back on the ground
Hey, I'm on your side
Oh Em, I'm always on your side
I won't leave you here
I won't let you down
I'll stay until your feet are on the ground

Good Day
03:24
|
|||
|
Been having some long days
Been having some long nights
I can't seem to sleep well
Always wake up on the wrong side
But today was the first good day in awhile
Hey --
Oh --
Under pressure
Feeling small
My heart's been heavy
With the weight of it all
But today was the first good day in awhile
Hey --
Oh --
Get my head up
Get my heart strong
And get myself in the right state
The right state of mind
Hey --
Oh --

Escape the rat race
And get away to my happy place
And we run run run
To a clear view
yeah we run run run
'Cause I choose you
I choose you
Like I always wanted to
I choose you
Like you always wanted me to
Tune out all that noise
And finally hear my own voice
And we run run run
To a clear view
Yeah we run run away
'Cause I choose you
I choose you
Like I always wanted to
I choose you
Like you always wanted me to
They can try and fight me
They can try --
But they'll never stop me
I've made up my mind
I choose you
I choose you
Like I always wanted to
I choose you
Like you always wanted me to

The High
04:39
|
|||
|
We were nine
It had snowed all night
So we took the sled
And we ran outside
Then we flew
Down that snow-capped hill
And we hit the rocks
Waiting at the bottom
But the high
It was worth it for the high
Yeah the high
It was worth it for the high
On the side
Of that tiny little stage
I couldn't breathe
Almost hyperventilated
And my hands were shaking
My legs were pacing
They said "it's time"
And I nearly cried
But the high
It was worth it for the high
Oh the high
It was worth it for the high
Remember the time
I told you how I felt
About you
And nobody else
And I swore I could fly
In that moment
But I gave you the power to break my heart
And boy, did you ever use it
But the high
It was worth it for the high
Oh the high
It was worth it for the high

That look in your eyes is one that I recognize
You fixed it on me when we first met
And you held me transfixed as I tried to decipher it
And failed
'Cause you've got this magnetism around you
And I, oh I can't escape the pull
And I find that I'm drawn to you
Oh, it's irresistible
That dark gaze that sweeps over my face
Makes my heart move
And every moment that passes and each second that elapses
Finds me closer and closer to you
'Cause you've got this magnetism around you
And I, oh I can't escape the pull
And I find that I'm drawn to you
Oh, it's irresistible

Shake It
03:39
|
|||
|
Won't you shuffle over to me like you do
And lay down the groove like I know you want to
Won't you shake it like you do
And make my heart start to move and move and move and move
Don't you know what this does to me
Don't you know that it sets me free
I can't imagine what I would be
If this feeling wasn't a part of me
Won't you vibe with me like you do
And tap out the rhythm with your shoes
Won't you boogie down with me like you do
And let the music take over you and you and you and you
Don't you know what this does to me
Don't you know that it sets me free
I can't imagine what I would be
If this feeling wasn't a part of me

Cry Wolf
03:27
|
|||
|
Don't you cry wolf no more
Ain't nobody believe a word you say
Don't you cry wolf no more
You've got one too many strikes you're on your own
That's your fate
Oh
Don't you call my name no more
You gave up the privilege that night
Don't you call my name no more
Don't let the word slip past your lips it ain't right
It ain't right
Oh
Hey--
You forced me to choose sides
Well I didn't know you wouldn't be on mine
This game we played is over
You can't cry wolf no more

Armor
03:33
|
|||
|
Take some time to understand
That you and I are not the same person
Your dreams are not mine and hearts are one of a kind
You can put your hopes on me but I'll only let you down
And you said you'd give me space
You'd give me room to make my own mistakes
But I can still feel you hanging over my shoulder
Molding me into your own little soldier
Oh --
Oh --
Just give me a minute to put my armor on
Just give me a minute to put my armor on

Far Away
05:21
|
|||
|
Had to shield my eyes from the glare
And I still couldn't stand the light
It slipped through my hands
Had to armor myself 'cause I couldn't bear
To feel the darkness seeping into me
From out there
And I been trying all these days
I been trying every possible way
Hey I been trying to get it right all my days
And I'm closer now than I was before
But I'm still so far away
Oh my ears can hear everything I wanna hear
But I know I won't listen, I'm in the same place I been in
Year after year
And I know in my mind that I want more
But I know I won't choose it
So I keep turning 'round in this revolving door
And I been trying all these days
I been trying every possible way
Hey I been trying to get it right all my days
And I'm closer now than I was before
But I'm still so far away
I'm still so far away

Quarterlife
03:11
|
|||
|
So take it away from me
All the things you say I'm supposed to be
You don't even know me
Run far away from me
And stay there til I'm gone
Til I've moved on
'Cause I'm not ready, I'm not ready
So get out of my face
With all of the messes you create
I'm not ready
To face the facts of responsibility
Oh let me be a kid for one more minute
I'm not ready
Oh

Zzz
05:28
|
|||
|
I woke on the side of the road
And you were there and you told me to go home
Got on my feet and I walked some miles
But I couldn't find the way out of my mind
I think I'm losing my mind
I'm lost everything I knew is gone
I'm so far from where I started out from
I'm off track can't find my way back
I've gotta get back
Your words echo 'round my head
But I forget everything you said and everything I said
And I drift over and over again
I'm afraid of death but I fear I'm already dead
I'm lost everything I knew is gone
I'm so far from where I started out from
I'm off track can't find my way back
I've gotta get back
