I Say, Goodbye

These weeks are tearing
at my will to smile
still I hold my head up
through everyone else's trials
Everything is changing
feelings of hate have surrounded me
and my heart is racing
to a time when I'll be free
From feeling like
my best is never good enough
for you and I
won't have to write a song like this again
And now the one place
where I find solace has
been disturbed by
what most brings me happiness
The only way to fix it
is the only way to ruin it
oh, and how I miss it
the times when we were happy
and I was free
And it drives me insane
the feeling is gone
but I'm still wondering
what your next move is
I think I want to help
but you won't let me.

Hold Out

We've driven the tires down
over city lights like fireflies
only to land reluctantly
on this land I call my home
let's journey up to the step
I've made so many stories on
and we'll talk 'til my throat runs dry
about just how scared I am
These days, these weeks, these months
are adding up
These promises and fronts
are building up
And I don't know how much longer I can take it
and I don't know if I can wait until we make it
but I have to hold out for tonight
Can I hold you up to my bare soul
with your tears streaming to no end
and we'll talk of future memories
we both plan on making
Where will I be tomorrow?
Where have I been today?
It's all becoming a blur now
I'm dreaming as I'm waking
Tonight
I'm right here on your path
Tonight
I'd do anything for you
if it means my everything.

So I see it's come down to this
the memory of a smile
I will never miss
You've cut your ties
you're moving on
I'm hurting and I'm so happy
now the page is turning
A new passage, a new chapter in my book
and I'll never forget you
A new feeling, a new sound, a new look
and I'll never cry for you
So now can I ask you to
take my hand, take me away with you
we'll never talk to anyone
I love this, I'm finally happy
read between the lines
So hard to understand but now I think I do
the only way you and I can live is
to cut the I from you

What has kept this conversation going for all these years?
Why must we continue screaming
through so much pain, so many tears?
It's all that we can do to make things right again
It's just an argument neither of us can win
Will this recurring pattern grow dark and old with me?
Love is all that keeps me going
the only light I see
It's all that we can do to make things right again
It's just another fight neither of us can win
Can I try to fix things this time?
Or die in the effort?
The last thing that I need
is to hear your voice again
Can I try? Can I?

This One's For You

By looking in your eyes tonight
I can see the stars shine bright
and we both know twenty one's my limit
So if I can't handle this by myself
can I come to know someone else
on our journey home?
When will our paths cross again?
Will you still call me your friend?
If I could sell tomorrow to be with you today
I'd give up everything and ask you
if you feel the same
Word fly back and forth tonight
over this glowing water
when will my hands graze yours once again
So I'll take this paper from your hand
with a feeling I don't understand
on my journey home
I scan the crowd tonight for your beautiful smile
and bright blue eyes to get me through the show.

When our eyes first met
I could not have guessed
what you would do to me
We went through our routines
it never meant a thing
'til one night it all changed
right before my eyes
And I told you I wouldn't give in
never have I felt this way before
and how could I have every known
you would save my life?
A year has passed us now
I've never slept so sound
and you are here with me
I just want you to know
I'll never let you go
and these words are true
and I will keep my promise to you
Life has a funny way
of sneaking up on you and blowing up
in your face
and life has a funny way
of making you fall in love

A little while ago
a little idol worshipper came to me and said
in such and unsure voice
Show me just how you bring
all the songs you sing out into this world
I hear honesty
My heart goes out to him
And so he did his best
you know he stood the test
of making the children dance
and I am so proud
His head grows up before
his foot is out the door
oh, he is so great
my stomach is turning
and you know what I think
You owe everything to me
but I'm just saying
It's hard for me to
but I'm just saying
Now he's making his dream
become a real thing as he flaunts himself
kids grow up so fast
And they still scream his name
but will it be in vain
or will the world scream too?
Godspeed to you
And I know the part that scares me the most
is that I see a part of me in you
you have so much to learn
the role you seek is one that you have to earn.

Still and Static
02:50
|
|||
|
Now that you've found your tune
I will turn the volume down
I did not mean to speak my words
it's such and awful sound
Here come the fireworks now
could you just plug my ears
we both know if you don't
then you may face your biggest fears
You know I'll stay with you tonight
I do mean what I say
You know I'll stay with you tonight
Anyway
I tune my radio
but all I hear is static
could it be all this silence
is starting to make me sick
What's that? I hear you talking
if only quiet words
this is what both of us need
to be held and not just heard
And you know these feelings
are unconditional
rest your head on mine

Always Tomorrow
03:21

And it's alright
you don't have to make it up to me
alright, there's always tomorrow
One day not so long ago
while I was locked up in my room
I fell into an institution
a million miles from too soon
What is this? It scares me
but I can never run away
everyone here ignores me
so I'll just sweat my nights away
Only one more day
it'll all be better tomorrow
it couldn't be worse than today
Who are you? I'd love to
hold you close someday
Do you like this? I'd love to
and I was hoping you'd feel the same
And every single little bit of this is for you
and every single time I couldn't talk to you
and I'm sorry but you know that it's alright

The Finale
03:35

You've always been somebody I could run to
my one true friend when no one else cared
but now the person I see you becoming
is a person who is never there
And I never wanted you to think any less of me
but I know there's no way to make you see
So farewell, goodbye my friend
I know this will all work out in the end
I know I'll see you again someday
So don't forget this like it's easy for me
this is the hardest thing I've ever done
