Lyrics:
I Won't Lie
Four in the morning and I'm sober walking through the rain
It doesn't matter where I'm going everywhere's the same
Cold dark room
I've put myself into
You were a window to a world that I could never know
And asked for every piece of me and so I let you go
Way too soon
Now I'm back to my cold dark room
If I could take it all back
I could make it all right
You could be the best part of my life
I can tell you all night that I wanna be
The man that I'm supposed to be
That...
I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me
I know you've heard a thousand words that took your breath away
A million melodies that never got the notes to say
What they mean
I promised you everything
If I could take it all back
I could make it all right
You could be the best part of my life
I can tell you all night that I wanna be
The man I'm supposed to be
That...
I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me
This is me when my world stops turning
Heart stops while I notice everything is falling apart
This is me when my lungs start burning
To say what I mean when I know that I could but I won't
Tell me things that'll break the silence
I swear I can hear every heart beat in this place
I wanna see the hope, I wanna feel the love, I wanna hear what you say when I say
I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me
It doesn't matter where I'm going everywhere's the same
Cold dark room
I've put myself into
You were a window to a world that I could never know
And asked for every piece of me and so I let you go
Way too soon
Now I'm back to my cold dark room
If I could take it all back
I could make it all right
You could be the best part of my life
I can tell you all night that I wanna be
The man that I'm supposed to be
That...
I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me
I know you've heard a thousand words that took your breath away
A million melodies that never got the notes to say
What they mean
I promised you everything
If I could take it all back
I could make it all right
You could be the best part of my life
I can tell you all night that I wanna be
The man I'm supposed to be
That...
I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me
This is me when my world stops turning
Heart stops while I notice everything is falling apart
This is me when my lungs start burning
To say what I mean when I know that I could but I won't
Tell me things that'll break the silence
I swear I can hear every heart beat in this place
I wanna see the hope, I wanna feel the love, I wanna hear what you say when I say
I won't lie
I've waited a million hours just to say that
I will die if you leave me
You are the way my heart beats
And you are the words my tongue speaks
And I will die if you leave me
Go To Hell
And I heard you noticed every day while I've been here beside myself
How your bedroom smells just like me and how you found somebody else
There's a letter that I wrote you just on the back of your top shelf
In case you think the things I've told you, you will hear from someone else
It talks about the things I feel when it's just us inside the dark
About the things I like to think while you lay so close to my heart
And I can't seem to find the words I mean so I try to hold my tongue
While I lay wide awake and restless you should read it says,
Go to hell if you're reading this and I'm not here
Take your someone else and let me make this crystal clear
That take I don't need your help and I'm okay by myself
You can go to hell
And they say you tell him every day how you can feel the way I feel
How we're connected by the heart and you're convinced it's something real
Well if that's true I hope you're smiling like I am from ear to ear
And just in case you think I'm lying I've left a page to make it clear
That now I open up and scream to the whole world that I finally left
So if you hear me out of breath
I'm saying
Go to hell if you're reading this and I'm not here
Take your someone else and let me make this crystal clear
That, that I don't need your help and I'm okay by myself you can go to hell
And I feel it's time that I have said there are some things
That I regret like never checking out the odds against this bet
'Cause I would bet my favorite things I ever owned
That you would leave and I'd be missing you like hell
But I won't
Go to hell if you're reading this and I'm not here
Take take your somebody else and let me make this crystal clear
That that I don't need your help and I'm okay by myself
You can go to hell
Yeah you can yeah you can you can
Go to hell if you're reading this and I'm not here
Take your somebody else and let me make this crystal clear
That that I don't need your help and I'm okay by myself
You can go to hell
Oh you can go to hell
You make sure you take someone else
Ooh that you know you can you can go to hell
How your bedroom smells just like me and how you found somebody else
There's a letter that I wrote you just on the back of your top shelf
In case you think the things I've told you, you will hear from someone else
It talks about the things I feel when it's just us inside the dark
About the things I like to think while you lay so close to my heart
And I can't seem to find the words I mean so I try to hold my tongue
While I lay wide awake and restless you should read it says,
Go to hell if you're reading this and I'm not here

You make sure you take someone else
Ooh that you know you can you can go to hell
Lost And Found
I hear you say the sun is setting and it's time to find belief
In something other than a heart that seems to dangle from a string
We've strung on this piano
Who knows just where the chords will go
How do I find a piece of faith in passing faces on the street
Forever asking where I'm going to the strangers that I meet
Can we just stop and hold sustain
Stay here and breathe sustained
I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?
When did the words all start to blur and make the point too hard to see
In all the writing on the walls in everyplace we had to be
I'd like to say we made a change
In how the songs were sang
So if I'm gonna break down
I'll do it for all of us
And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?
And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Guess I got caught in all the sounds
Am I lost? Am I found?
I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?
And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Guess I got caught in all the sounds
Am I lost? Am I found?
In something other than a heart that seems to dangle from a string
We've strung on this piano
Who knows just where the chords will go
How do I find a piece of faith in passing faces on the street
Forever asking where I'm going to the strangers that I meet
Can we just stop and hold sustain
Stay here and breathe sustained
I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?
When did the words all start to blur and make the point too hard to see
In all the writing on the walls in everyplace we had to be
I'd like to say we made a change
In how the songs were sang
So if I'm gonna break down
I'll do it for all of us
And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?
And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Guess I got caught in all the sounds
Am I lost? Am I found?
I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Did I lose my rhythm now
Am I lost? Am I found?
And I got scared
Can't seem to find it either here or there
Guess I got caught in all the sounds
Am I lost? Am I found?
Close The Distance
I found hope
In the back of a closet
Written by a child's hand
On pieces of parchment
Yellowed and old
I've never seen
That kind of belief
I sat to read
A story of kindness
Where even just one kiss
Can change how we read this
Can help us get lost
In a pattern so ageless
It conquers the cost
When did we all resolve to growing up means stand aside
Where did the heroes go 'cause tonight we breathe to stand and fight
We will run
Until we all can feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
We'll always live to close the distance
Run
Like it's time that's chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words "give up"
And live to close the distance
Can you say
You remember a time when
All you had was a dream and
A promise to fight
When you were sure you were gone
When there wasn't the hope to carry on
Well in these days
We can live with a passion
We only deserve when
We cherish the burden
Of the brothers beside
When we carry the bones
That can't walk on their own
When did we all resolve to growing up means stand aside
Where did the heroes go 'cause tonight we breathe to stand and fight
We will run
Until we all can feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
We'll always live to close the distance
Run
Like it's time that's chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words "give up"
And live to close the distance
When you say sing to me
I will sing like everyone is listening
Like current company
Thinks the words we speak right now mean everything
Like we all should feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
We'll always live to close the distance
Run
Like it's time that's chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words "give up"
And live to close the distance
Close the distance
In the back of a closet
Written by a child's hand
On pieces of parchment
Yellowed and old
I've never seen
That kind of belief
I sat to read
A story of kindness
Where even just one kiss
Can change how we read this
Can help us get lost
In a pattern so ageless
It conquers the cost
When did we all resolve to growing up means stand aside
Where did the heroes go 'cause tonight we breathe to stand and fight
We will run
Until we all can feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
We'll always live to close the distance
Run
Like it's time that's chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words "give up"
And live to close the distance
Can you say
You remember a time when
All you had was a dream and
A promise to fight
When you were sure you were gone
When there wasn't the hope to carry on
Well in these days

And live to close the distance
Close the distance
What If You Don't
I'm building my own cell tonight
And I will never make a key
It's just me and the dark
Alone here with my heart
And won't you come and set me free
And you and I we have a history
And not much here outweighs the pain
When every mile got in the way
We thought the fear was self contained
Let's say we both assume the blame
'Cause what if my stars fell from the sky
And what if they landed in your eyes
Would it be all right?
When all of my time has gone away
I wanna say I've left more than days
But what's on my mind tonight
Is what if you don't
Yeah, what if you don't
There was a time I had a symphony
And it played love to me for days
Then all at once I heard the strings
Out of tune, and out of key
It seems there's no song here for me
No not for me
And what if my stars fell from the sky
And what if they landed in your eyes
Would it be all right?
When all of my time has gone away
I wanna say I've left more than days
But what's on my mind tonight
Is what if you don't
Yeah, what if you don't
I see the night
It's coming for me
To take you away
It's here as a thief
And I know that I'm scared
And from down on my knees
I'm asking relief
From what if you don't
Yeah, what if you don't
And I will never make a key
It's just me and the dark
Alone here with my heart
And won't you come and set me free
And you and I we have a history
And not much here outweighs the pain
When every mile got in the way
We thought the fear was self contained
Let's say we both assume the blame
'Cause what if my stars fell from the sky
And what if they landed in your eyes
Would it be all right?
When all of my time has gone away
I wanna say I've left more than days
But what's on my mind tonight
Is what if you don't
Yeah, what if you don't
There was a time I had a symphony
And it played love to me for days
Then all at once I heard the strings
Out of tune, and out of key
It seems there's no song here for me
No not for me
And what if my stars fell from the sky
And what if they landed in your eyes
Would it be all right?
When all of my time has gone away
I wanna say I've left more than days
But what's on my mind tonight
Is what if you don't
Yeah, what if you don't
I see the night
It's coming for me
To take you away
It's here as a thief
And I know that I'm scared
And from down on my knees
I'm asking relief
From what if you don't
Yeah, what if you don't
Things I Don't See
You find the color in things I don't see
And you found a way to make me believe that I
I don't have to walk this road alone
And patience I can lack to live and learn is what I need
A stubborn man is blinded by pride she said to me
I might just be on to something now
And maybe your mind's made up, we'll right the wrongs today
And maybe you'll write me off and walk your fears away
And if you wait a little a longer
I'll meet you there come June
At the corner of Girard
And it's true, it gets a little colder when you're not here
'Cause I am gonna miss you baby tonight
I'll miss you baby tonight
'Cause I took the time to say what I mean
While you lost the sight to see what I see in signs
I've always assumed were sent to me
I thought with every second was a promise I could keep
That every single second was about destiny that time
Maybe time would plant a simple seed
But I know your mind's made up with nothing left to say
So just get the courage up to watch me walk away
And if you wait a little a longer
I'll meet you there come June
At the corner of Girard
And it's true, it gets a little colder when you're not here
'Cause I am gonna miss you baby tonight
I'll miss you baby tonight
'Cause I took the time to say what I mean
While you lost the sight to see what I see in signs
And if you wait a little a longer
I'll meet you there come June
At the corner of Girard
And it's true, it gets a little colder when you're not here
'Cause I am gonna miss you baby tonight
I'll miss you baby tonight
And you found a way to make me believe that I
I don't have to walk this road alone
And patience I can lack to live and learn is what I need

The Ending
Do you ever feel
That you can't wake up
That today's a dream
And you've just been stuck
That nothing in this house breathes the same
If everybody in the room maybe stepped out
You'd never have to see the past where you hit the ground
And never have to miss the walls of the old house
So if you find that you're stuck in the moment
Just let your eyes cut away from the broken
And try to sleep like the broken's forgotten
If the path I take is the right one
Then what's to do with all that's left
'Cause my pride is built like a champion
But my heart's filled with regret
And how can I deal with moving over
When all I feel is so offset
'Cause my mind is torn like the pages
Of a story yet unsaid
This can't be the ending
And did you ever dream
You were something great
That you changed a life
Weren't so afraid
That none of the colors we know fade
Oh, you can find a spark
In your yesterday
Be your something more
Be your saving grace
Be the change that you need for the years you will face
'Cause when you tell every soul that you meet you
Have a hope that you have to hold on to
You show the world you're enough
We are who we are but we're still scared because
If the path I take is the right one
Then what's to do with all that's left
'Cause my pride is built like a champion
But my heart's filled with regret
How can I deal with moving over
When all I feel is so offset
'Cause my mind is torn like the pages
Of a story yet unsaid
This can't be the ending
This can't be, no this can't be, this can't be the ending
'Cause this can't be the ending
And do you ever feel that you can't wake up
That you can't wake up
That today's a dream
And you've just been stuck
That nothing in this house breathes the same
If everybody in the room maybe stepped out
You'd never have to see the past where you hit the ground
And never have to miss the walls of the old house
So if you find that you're stuck in the moment
Just let your eyes cut away from the broken

This can't be the ending
This can't be, no this can't be, this can't be the ending
'Cause this can't be the ending
And do you ever feel that you can't wake up
Over Me
It's 3 o'clock and I'm still underneath every cloud over me
And every face that I pass on the street says you will be loved without me
And then you say
It's hard to love when I'm the one left standing
Hard to smile without a change of pace
I just lost myself in the days
It's hard to miss what I can't hold on to
And try to keep what I can't embrace
It don't leave much left for this space
Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears
If love could lift us over everything
All we need's a set of wings
I used to know every crease in our sheets
And how you'd feel underneath
And every sound that you'd make in your sleep
So who's the stranger here beside me
And then she says I know you want to go, but you just can't blame me
I'm the only one here by myself
I'm the one that put my life on the shelf
I'll never understand why you can't be with me
Never slow down, never save yourself
Tell me was it worth it?
Tell me it helped
Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears
Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears
If love could lift us over everything
All we need's a set of wings
If love could lift us over
All we need's a set of wings
It's 3 o'clock and I'm still underneath every cloud over me
Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears
If love could lift us over everything
All we need's a set of wings
If love could lift us over
All we need's a set of wings
Now all the hope and all the fear
And everything we built this year
Is breaking down around us now
And falling with your perfect tears
If love could lift us over everything
All we need's a set of wings
If love could lift us over
All we need's a set of wings
And all we need's a set of wings
And all we need's a set of wings
And every face that I pass on the street says you will be loved without me
And then you say

And all we need's a set of wings
Hear Me Out
Where did you go
How will I know
If you hear me out
I need this now
Watching as the leaves fall down
The colors where we use to run and play
Another year's flown by I fear
It seems to be too soon the seasons change
The pictures on the wall my dear
The Holy Ghost himself can't make appear
But I believe that you're with me
And you complete my heartbeat still
Where did you go
How will I know (hear me out)
If you hear me out
I need this now
I lost my faith
And I miss my soul (hear me out)
So hear me out
I need you now
And I had heart but it left with your breath
And the notes that you sang
I'll remember them always
Just the thought that you're here in my chest
Keeps the thoughts in my head
From the dark that is these days
These days
Where did you go
How will I know (hear me out)
If you hear me out
I need this now
I lost my faith
And I miss my soul (hear me out)
So hear me out
I need you now
The pictures on the wall my dear
The Holy Ghost himself can't make appear
How will I know
If you hear me out
I need this now
Watching as the leaves fall down
The colors where we use to run and play
Another year's flown by I fear
It seems to be too soon the seasons change
The pictures on the wall my dear
The Holy Ghost himself can't make appear
But I believe that you're with me
And you complete my heartbeat still
Where did you go
How will I know (hear me out)
If you hear me out
I need this now
I lost my faith
And I miss my soul (hear me out)
So hear me out
I need you now
And I had heart but it left with your breath
And the notes that you sang
I'll remember them always
Just the thought that you're here in my chest
Keeps the thoughts in my head
From the dark that is these days
These days
Where did you go
How will I know (hear me out)
If you hear me out
I need this now
I lost my faith
And I miss my soul (hear me out)
So hear me out
I need you now
The pictures on the wall my dear
The Holy Ghost himself can't make appear
If That's Tonight (Deluxe)
I saw the waves
All storm the beach
And you were there
With your arms outreached
Saying, take me away to a better place
Oh
Cause I built what I could
And there's nothing left
And I can't find the air
That I need for a breath
If these castles all fall
And collapse to my chest
I'm not sure I'll get back up
So tonight I'll try to fight
The waves in all our lives
I'm finding what I don't know
Could fill up every black hole
And tonight if nothing's left
And we fall to our last breath
Keep your head above the water
We'll take it all together
If that's tonight
I heard the clouds all rush and greet
Another time and another me
Swearing this was the way that it had to be
Oh
Cause the rain's gonna fall
Till it's all soaked clean
And the wind's gonna blow
Till it comforts me
And we all have to fall just to stand
So it seems this is how we get back up
So tonight I'll try to fight
The waves in all our lives
While I'm finding what I don't know
Could fill up every black hole
And tonight if nothing's left
And we fall to our last breath
Keep your head above the water
We'll take it all together
If that's tonight
If that's tonight
Cause I built what I could
And there's nothing left
And I can't find the air
That I need for a breath
If these castles all fall
And collapse to my chest
I'm not sure I'll get back up
If that's tonight
If that's tonight
If that's tonight
Oh, if that's tonight
All storm the beach
And you were there
With your arms outreached
Saying, take me away to a better place
Oh
Cause I built what I could
And there's nothing left
And I can't find the air
That I need for a breath
If these castles all fall
And collapse to my chest
I'm not sure I'll get back up

The waves in all our lives
I'm finding what I don't know
Could fill up every black hole

Keep your head above the water

Oh, if that's tonight
Live, Learn, Let Go (Deluxe)
The butterflies come back to me
With peace of mind for broken wings
And these days are harder than the last, I know
But this is a song we all know, oh oh
We live and learn and let go, oh oh
So tell me
Tell me what your eyes see
When they stare right through me
Can they see my heart beat
Tell me why the rain can't wash away the blame
Can't take away the pain to make you see again
Cause all I wanna be is anything
And I still remember every word
That I ever wrote about you, girl
They came like air to me
In my head I played out everything
Just tell me it's not time to let go
Tell me
Tell me what your eyes see
When they stare right through me
Can they see my heart beat
Tell me why the rain can't wash away the blame
Can't take away the pain to make you see again
Cause all I wanna be is anything
And your friends, they talk a lot
I hear just how you're doing and it's sad
There's still a memory of us laughing
And it sits inside your head
You try to make believe you never were in love with me
I'll drink your eyes away
And try to hide the way my own stay red
And I wanna be whole, I wanna be anything
We live and learn and let go
Tell me
Tell me what your eyes see
When they stare right through me
Can they see my heart beat
Tell me why the rain can't wash away the blame
Can't take away the pain to make you see again
Cause all I wanna be is anything
(Tell me, Tell me what your eyes see)
(When they stare right through me)
Oh, you know that all I wanna be is anything
Can't take away the pain to make you see again
Cause all I wanna be is anything
With peace of mind for broken wings
And these days are harder than the last, I know
But this is a song we all know, oh oh
We live and learn and let go, oh oh
So tell me
Tell me what your eyes see
When they stare right through me
Can they see my heart beat
Tell me why the rain can't wash away the blame
