I'm hiding in the shadows Not wanting to leave This water's getting shallow And I'm in too deep Can you help me? Can you help me? I want to feel the glory Of us growing old I'd rather hear the stories That we've never told Can you help me? Will you help me? Hold on tight I know that you're scared To come out at night And tell me you cared I understand your worries But know that I'll be there To hold on tight Hold on tight It wasn't right for me to walk away without saying goodbye It doesn't matter if you don't believe me But I want you to try So hold on tight I know I have a record Of making mistakes I know that I'm not perfect Without you I'll break Can you help me? Will you help me? Hold on tight I know that you're scared To come out at night And tell me you cared I understand your worries But know that I'll be there To hold on tight Hold on tight

Well I'm a bit drunk but I'm wise enough to say I've been through more today Than you will ever comprehend And I will move on with this bottle in my hand I hope you understand That I will never be the same But I tell you once I tell you twice When it comes to love I don't play nice 'Cause in the end, I'll be the one to lose And all these love letters and dirty talks You know they'll never mean a lot Until there comes a day when their from you Well there'll be a day When the sun won't rise And the world will look up to the sky And slowly realize the end is near And people will be running wild And I would search a million miles Just to have your hand to hold my dear My only friends are bottles and cans And my heart is stained with one night stands And in the end, I find myself alone And I'll call the girl I used to know And wish I never let her go And pass out just to start it all again Well I'll tell you once I tell you twice When it comes to love I don't play nice 'Cause in the end, I'll be the one to lose And all these love letters and dirty talks You know they'll never mean a lot Until there comes a day when their from you Well there'll be a day When the sun won't rise And the world will look up to the sky And slowly realize the end is near And people will be running wild And I would search a million miles Just to have your hand to hold my dear

Take Me Home 03:14
I'm no liar I'm just a drunk High on past memories Running fast out of luck I know you won't hear this And I'll never understand why I'm not crazy I know it's been years But if past was the present I'd cover my ears With the scream of nostalgia Piercing through dust covered lies If time was a battle I'd already lost the war Give me one chance I won't hesitate to settle the score I climb mountains without any views All these fog ridden valleys still keep me from you I'm still lost in the dark Holding on to a hand I don't know Is life scripted like Sunday night movies? My conflict is falling, solutions are looming All plot twists aside The ending has yet to be told If time was a battle I've already lost the war Give me one chance I won't hesitate to settle the score Take me home Take me home I don't know where I'm going Just know that I can't go alone (x2)

I'm poisoned, help me find the remedy Falling too fast, can't always do what's best for me Help me find my way back home We'll I'm drowning, pull me up so I can breathe Can't remember how I got lost in all this misery Told you I would be alone For a while I'll sit and watch the high tide Rise over my mirrored sunglasses I won't fight the urge to swim towards sunlight Wishing you were here to witness this You are bleeding I'll do my best to amputate Take a deep breath, think twice I won't hesitate Chill me to my skin and bones We are starving Thirsty to the brink of love Fool me once, call me dear That's what I've been dreaming of Chip away my cornerstone For a while I'll sit and watch the high tide Rise over my mirrored sunglasses I won't fight the urge to swim towards sunlight Wishing you were here to witness this Well you You break me down No I won't get up the next time You push me to the ground Oh, you bring me to my knees The next time someone falls It won't be me No it won't be me

Rain Rain 02:18
Rain rain, don't go away Take me somewhere far away I never thought that I would be alone Find a place where I could hide These feelings I keep deep inside This voice resembles nothing of my own So dream, of better times Back in the days when I was young and I still Believed that I could fly And we'll leave this world behind Escaping all the problems that I thought I'd never find I'm looking for the boy I left behind Let me run with fireflies But I'll be scared to close my eyes The second that I do they'll disappear Click my heels and pray for rain Time won't stop the world from change I wish that I was anywhere but here So dream, of better times Back in the days when I was young and I still Believed that I could fly And we'll leave this world behind Escaping all the problems that I thought I'd never find I'm looking for the boy I left behind

Cold 03:00
I am high above the clouds Looking for a place to lay down But it hurts too much to lift my head And the earth is much too round To ever think to stand on solid ground So I just look away and fly instead My heart beats like a broken clock It's never right and skips a lot But time can only stop when I'm with you They say that love is just a game But this broken bedpost bears a name That I shouldn't remember but I do And all these people say to go inside It's much too cold a world to ever think to recognize This feeling we call happiness Is an absence of an emptiness That's left when nothing's led tot wipe our eyes Until my future turns to past And sand goes up the hourglass There's no way I can tell that this is real So I'll forget what I have seen And leaves will fly and change to green But nothing will repair the way I feel And all these people say to go inside It's much too cold a world to ever think to recognize This feeling we call happiness Is an absence of an emptiness That's left when nothing's led tot wipe our eyes I am high Above the clouds Looking for a place to lay down
