The Sun, The Moon, and You

After the sun sets behind the clouds
we sit in the car
the moonlight, it struggles,
struggles to compete
with all of your brilliance
and the shine of your eyes

Sunsets and moonbeam glances
never seemed so beautiful
as the ones that shine down
to cast upon your face
Oh I find the chemistry between us
enough to destroy this human race

Swept up by everything that you are
I find a new purpose
in all it is that i do
and as long as you stay
stay right here by my side
Then I know I'll never have to see the dark

Sunsets and moonbeam glances
never seemed so beautiful
as the ones that shine down
to cast upon your face
Oh I find the chemistry between us
enough to destroy this human race

But that's what gets me about you,
the resilience you cast
proving you're not like all the rest
even your worst is profoundly better,
better than all the rest, all the rest

Sunsets and moonbeam glances
never seemed so beautiful
as the ones that shine down
to cast upon your face
So the sun never quiet sets,
and the new moon it never comes,
as long as you are by my side
by my side

I Got It

No no no no I got it
I'm just waiting to get home
I told you once before
I'll be ok and I stand true

No no no no I got it
I know just what's going on
Lying to myself is easlier
So I'll bow out on my cue

No no no no I got it
I already know what I am (I got it)
It's just not the same
I just miss who I was (I got it)
But I'm glad you can forget

I wont live to see next fall
You wont know the difference
I am all you never wanted
But all you ever needed

I've seen what happens
To the brave and the proud
Doomed by crashes and smoke
So I've begged and I've pleaded

No no no no I got it
You know I love you (I got it)
It's just not the same
We were nothing (I got it)
But I'm glad you can forget

No no no no I got it.

Fast Forward

Fast forward to tomorrow.
Skip the conversations you knew were coming
Just like the major leagues
Life keeps throwing curve balls.

A soft noise in your ear
set to send an early conformation
This night will be another night
spent alone.

Playing with the old clock
Watching seconds turn to minutes
and minutes pass to hours
But time is just too slow

Fast forward to tomorrow
Skip the conversations you knew were coming
Just like the major leagues
Life keeps throwing curve balls.

A Message sent straight to the heart
Barely legible, it's an all time low
Compounded upon years of fractures
and scared over bruises

A soft noise in your ear
This wont go unnoticed again
This night will be another night
spent alone

Fast forward to tomorrow
Time faded by fast and painless
it's still going to be another night
spent alone.

Expiration Date

We can make it work if we try hard enough
The biggest lie ever told, to tell the truth
We've all been hurt, we've all be scared
But we still carry hope, a false security

Its short and it comes at you hard
let me tell you, Love has an expiration date
Don't let it catch you off guard
I'm just too weak to be your cure
You'll have to take my word on this one
let me tell you, Love has an expiration date

There's nothing to do in times like these
Just take your shovel and begin to dig
It only needs to be a small shallow grave
just big enough for you to stumble into

We can make it work if we try
If we try, If we try
Oh we can make it work if we try

Its short and it comes at you hard
let me tell you, Love has an expiration date
Don't let it catch you off guard
I'm just too weak to be your cure
You'll have to take my word on this one
let me tell you, Love has an expiration date

But we can make it work if we try
if we try, If we try
Oh we can make it work if we try

Like This Song

you're going to destroy me
gut me from the inside out
Take it as a compliment
it's just hard to let it go

In my mind there's no doubt
but I need this one thing
Relieve the poisonous sting
so you can sleep better at night

I know you're going to like this song
Tell all your closet friends
how it's me that is wrong
Oh I know you're going to like this song

Look me straight in the eyes
and tell me none of it was lies
Confirm me to my face
the original story still flies

Because it's what I need to hear
just to go on I'm telling you,
one of these days I'll be strong

I know you're going to like this song
Tell all your closet friends
how it's me that is wrong
I know you're going to like this song

Look me straight in the eyes
and tell me none of it was lies
Confirm it to my face
the original story still flies

Because it's what I need to hear
just to go on I'm telling you,
one of these days I'll be strong

And oh, I know you're going to like this song.

Playing With Fire

Let the pieces that scare you
all fall into place
Maybe, just maybe We'll disappear
and not leave a trace.

Is it within this realm to see
A better place consisting of you and me
Am I just being out of line
To think in the end we'll do just fine
Is it ever too much to be playing with fire

But oh it's going to take
a little more push than pull
I've not been one to fake
What's inside so oh do tell

Let's bring it all back down
Play it all off as just low-key
Then the best I'll be able to do
Is to just be there, and be me

Is it within this realm to see
A better place consisting of you and me
Am I just being out of line
To think in the end we'll do just fine
Is it ever too much to be playing with fire

We're going to sit back and watch it burn
Hand in hand, laughing about the past
We're going to sit back and watch it burn
Hand in hand, playing in the ash
We're going to sit back and watch it burn

Worthwhile

For once in my life
I want to feel
What it's like
to have something real

But now I know
that I'm destined
For nervous eyes
and awkward goodbyes

So for just this once
Give me something
I can call worthwhile
Something worth the wait

For once in my life
I want to feel
What it's like
to watch you bleed

To know for once that you
Yeah you Are drowning
In your own decisions
And to laugh in your face

So for just this once
Give me something
I can call worthwhile
Something worth the wait
Something worth the wait
