Back To Life 03:12
You bring me back to life You may just be a stranger here But there's no danger for me to fear The music's got you by the ear I know the band here playing; they like the cheers It tells 'em You bring me back to life You may have come just for the beer But you're staying alive now the gangs all here So get in close; feel what you hear And tell your friends there's no one you'd rather cheer They know that You bring me back to life We may have had a messy year You brought me be back from what I once feared But now we're back, we're in the clear Let's make tonight the one that won't disappear I tell ya You bring me back to life

Well, that’s it. You got me figured out. Go on and run to your friends. Go on and talk about the things that you see and what you believe. And now you’re acting like you’re better than me. I say oh, go on and take a seat. So say what you want about me, I can’t get enough. Say what you want. I can’t get enough. It’s kinda fun to go a little wild. You oughta try some time and wonder like a child. I got my hands in the air, the feeling is there and everybody’s looking at you, starting to stare. I say oh, I think you know the line. So, say what you want about me I can’t get enough. Say what you want. I can’t get enough. Believe the hype and the buzz; the noise and the fuss. I’m shaking in a little bit of fairy dust, I say oh, is that all you got? So, say what you want about me I can’t get enough. Say what you want. I can’t get enough. Go on and say what you want about me I can’t get enough.

Woke up this morning with a feeling I haven’t felt in years Opened my eyes without a single fear Never really knew how to go about living like a normal man Never really knew all I had to do was everything I can There’s so much more that I can be Than sitting here and dreaming You Don’t Even Know how much I feel Life is so unreal when you’re ready for the changin’ Last night I lay me down and wondered How much I really care Well nothing seems as clear when I’m lying there If all I say and do can and will be used against me in a court of law If I can pick and chose if I win or lose then I won’t say anything at all There’s so much more that we can be Than sitting here and dreaming You Don’t Even Know how much I feel Life is so unreal when you’re ready for the changin’ There’s so much more here to discover The light is breaking to the dawn Leave the shadows deep in slumber And let the light keep shining on You Don’t Even Know how much I feel Life is so unreal when you’re ready for the changin’

Love Hate 03:09
It's never been simple Remember the quiet nights Now we sit in limbo Do we love or do we fight Last night you told me that you think it might be love And then the next you say you wanna go We got a Love/Hate kinda thing going on, Going on and on and on We got a Love/Hate kinda thing going on, On and on and on We turn it off for a while, now we turn it on Turn it on and on and on We got a Love/Hate kinda thing going on, On and on and on I don't know where to go Been sitting here thinking Can't tell if I'm blinking Got me thinking I lost my mind I don't think about the things that I control I only think about the things I don't We got a Love/Hate kinda thing going on, Going on and on and on We got a Love/Hate kinda thing going on, On and on and on We turn it off for a while, now we turn it on Turn it on and on and on We got a Love/Hate kinda thing going on, On and on and on

Miss You 03:50
I had a dream It was a vision of me When I was fifteen The world was still my friend Wish I was happy as then When I was fifteen We've all been wondering where you’ve been Growing tired and bored of sin I know I’m ready to let you back in Cause every breath ends with a sigh And every time I roll my eyes I think they may not ever come back down I wasn’t always like this, Won’t you come back I miss you I had a dream It was embedded in me When I was guilty Where I avoid the stubborn man Who fills the void with all he can Oh woe is me I could write a dozen songs About how it all went wrong Feast on fear and pack it all in Spend my days yelling at clouds Complain as much as I’m allowed Keep my thoughts as low as my chin I wasn’t always like this, Won’t you come back I miss you Nothing on this earth can stop me now Can ever bring me down Nothing on this earth can stop the sound Can ever break me down Nothing in this world can love me now Till I can show them how I wasn’t always like this, Won’t you come back I miss you

Eliminator 03:51
Loneliness is a powerful motivator To keep your blinders up so you can worry later The smell of stranger skin to heal a past behavior To free me from the dark she’s an eliminator Sinking to the bottom of your dirtier glass What I was drinking was the remnants that could never last But what I wanted was a moment that could never pass For something different than the only thing I’d want to ask For your love You never gave You don’t care You never did But you held (She’s my eliminator) Just enough (To help me eliminate her) To feed the beast within I need a force of nature Bad decisions made, I’m calling for a saviour I’ve had enough of moments that I won’t remember To rid my thoughts I know she’s my eliminator Sinking to the bottom of your dirtier glass What I was drinking was the remnants that could never last But what I wanted was a moment that could never pass For something different than the only thing I’d want to ask For your love You never gave You don’t care You never did But you held (She’s my eliminator) Just enough (To help me eliminate her) Eliminator, little eliminator Sinking to the bottom of your dirtier glass What I was drinking was the remnants that could never last But what I wanted was a moment that could never pass For something different than the only thing I’d want to ask For your love You never gave You don’t care You never did

FOMO 03:03
It's like a sinking feeling That there's other place to go Like staring at the ceiling When doors are opened by your ghost Somewhere down the road he'll find you there Fear of missing out You don't want to doubt That when you go You'll be better off You got the fear of missing out Don't know what about How could you know That you'd be better off on your own Your best friends' invitation Has waged a battle on your soul You have to pick your poison There might be stories you missed out Somewhere down the road wished you were there Fear of missing out You don't want to doubt That when you go You'll be better off You got the fear of missing out Don't know what about How could you know That you'd be better off on your own This place is overheating Might be more comfortable at home Do you regret the feeling Now that you know what's going on Hard to begin the healing If you're not happy on your own Fear of missing out You don't want to doubt That when you go You'll be better off You got the fear of missing out Don't know what about How could you know That you'd be better off on your own

Remember Me 03:13
Hey, Well I hope that you remember me some way Well I hope that you remember me I'm not the type to show every sentiment But some of them don't seem to fade away And I don't know what to do When you're living close but feel so far away I love your soul and it makes me feel so good But I'm more than glad to give us both the space Even with that pretty face I’m gonna give you peace of mind today I don’t wanna scare you away I’m not saying that you gotta stay As long as you remember me some way And if I try I know we can work it out We're both so young with oh so much to do I can't put it all on you I'm gonna give us peace of mind today I don’t wanna scare you away I’m not saying that you gotta stay As long as you remember me Hey, Well I hope that you remember me some way Well I hope that you remember me

Remember that thing you said, Came out your head Three years, two months and twenty odd days ago It was a travesty of a social interaction I think it was judging by the timing of their reaction That's just a fraction of what kept me up last night It don't take much to keep me up at night I got my crutch It's holding up alright It don't take much to keep me up at night It don't take much Well today I saw a child playing in the sand I just felt bad I just felt sad And I didn't even have a reason to feel this way He probably had an alright day Maybe I just imagine things Maybe I see myself in things It don't take much to keep me up at night I got my crutch It's holding up alright It don't take much to keep me up at night It don't take much There's an overflow of empathy That no one ever asked for It's a guiltiness, a filthiness that doesn't serve a purpose anymore It don't take much to keep me up at night I got my crutch It's holding up alright It don't take much to keep me up at night It don't take much

So Long 05:36
If you're listening to this song Everything should be fine now (It’s too late to read between the lines) As of now it's only just begun I don't know exactly how to carry on I'm afraid of everything that I've come not to know Like calling every shot now on my own Resting my body alone Feeling dangerously close to being a ghost Driving by our old street having detailed visions of bad decisions, oh no I miss you in all the little ways I knew I would Naturally, all I can think of is when the times were good The night that we ran off to go and shave my hair I pour a second cup of coffee when you're not there I'm afraid of everything that I've come not to know Like calling every shot now on my own Resting my body alone Feeling dangerously close to being a ghost Are you coming back my dear Will you be coming back Love is now my greatest fear If you're not coming back I'm sorry babe but I just needed time They can think whatever they want But we both know we tried I'm afraid of everything that I've come not to know Like calling every shot now on my own Resting my body alone Feeling dangerously close to being a ghost Are you coming back my dear Will you be coming back Love is now my greatest fear If you're not coming back (I don't know how to carry on) How long How long So long
