Breathe (2AM)

2 AM and she calls me cause I'm still awake,
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in you hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

May he turn twenty-one on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button boys
So cradle your head in your hand
And breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
Cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again
If you’ll only try turning around

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it’s no longer
Inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand
And breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe

In the Rough

You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands
"It's your fault for running, holding diamonds," I said
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off I sparkle on my own

And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

I turned around 3 times and wound up at your door
Now you say you know all you did not know before
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off I sparkle on my own

And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough

I got your love letters
I threw them all away
And I hear you think that I'm crazy
I'm driving 95
And I'm driving you away
And I shine a little more lately oh

Someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
Someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I shine a little more lately

Citadel

I’m sitting on a citadel
Contemplating life
Making a point to waste my time
I’m walking on clouds
Of white

What if I fall
What if I don't
What if I never make it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
And I find that I can't take
Sitting alone
The citadel holding my army
Sitting alone

And I'm breaking on the balcony
Breaking window panes
I’m killing the pain of broken heart
I'm walking on clouds
Walking on stars

What if I fall
What if I don't
What if I never make it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
And I find that I can't take
Sitting alone
The citadel holding my army

Holding on to something
That's keeping me from jumping
So afraid to go it alone
Holding up this fortress
With imaginary forces
Longing for a life damned alone

What if I fall
What if I don't
What if I never make it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
And I find that I can't take
Sitting alone
The citadel holding my army
Sitting alone
The citadel holding my army
Yeah sitting alone
The citadel holding my hand

In My Head

Under the weight of your wings
You are a god and whatever I want you to be
And I wonder if truly you are
Nearly as beautiful as I believe

In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Under the weight of your wings
Should ever we meet on your side of the stereo
I will pretend I know not of your thoughts
And even the way that they mirror my own
I'll take you away in the way that you take me and go where I go

In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I'm echoing all your philosophies
And as I fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I'm echoing all your philosophies
And as I
Oh

I don't
Wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I'm out
Numbered in my head
I don't
I don't wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I'm out
Numbered in my head
My head my head

In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another night

Yeah yeah, your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night
Lonely night

Under the weight of your wings
I make believe you are all that I'll ever need
All that I need

Paper Bag

She don't run from the sun no more
She boxed her shadow and she won
Said I can see you laugh
Through these bottle caps
And this wire around my neck ain’t there for fun

But someday we'll all be old
And I'll be so damn beautiful

Me while I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can’t see you
Then you can't see me
And it'll be okay
Fly it’ll be a way
To where there’s no more rain
And I can be me

Yeah they talk about her
She smiles like she’s so tough
She says
"Hey can you talk a little louder,
I don't think my heart is broken enough"

But someday we'll all be old
And I'll be so damn beautiful

Me while I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can't see you
Then you can't see me
And it'll be okay
Fly it’ll be a way
To where there’s no more rain
And I can be me

Some days I wait in the indigo
Singing that song on the radio
I blame these photos on the rain
You know I gotta keep these checks dry today
Gotta keep my sketchy end strategy
And baby I’m gonna have it made

But someday we'll all be old
And I'll be so damn beautiful

So while I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can't see you
Then you can't see me
And it'll be okay
Fly it’ll be a way
To where there’s no more rain
And I can be me

So while I hide my head
Here in this paper bag
Cause if I can't see you
Then you can't see me
And it'll be okay
Fly it’ll be a way
To where there’s no more rain
And I can be me
Where I can be me yeah
I can be me
Where I can be me

Bleed

Well, it's been almost a year to the moment
When I finally realized it was over
And I knew that love wasn't good enough
Of a reason for me to stay
Well, I saw you yesterday, you were driving
And I tried so hard to forget
You were alive, and as you passed by I began to cry
Over things that I did not say

And hide underneath my blankets and sheets
I'm finally free
I'm killing the ghost of you, and I'm close to
Awakening me

Yeah, yeah
So I'm taking my heart and I'm getting me out
And love's something that I wouldn't wanna live without
So I'm taking my heart and I'm getting me out
On my own, my own, my own

Well, it takes all of my strength to be stable
And I force your insults under the table
And if you were wise you would compromise
And allow me to live my way
Cause I am not a force to be reckoned with
And you don't have a clue what you're messing with
And you can't see to the best in me
Cause it's more than your heart can take

And hide underneath my blankets and sheets
I'm finally free
I'm killing the ghost of you, and I'm close to
Awakening me
I'm awakening me
I'm awakening me, yeah
I'm awakening me

So I'm taking my heart and I'm getting me out
And love's something that I wouldn't wanna live without
So I'm taking my heart and I'm getting me out
On my own, my own, my own

I'm taking my heart and I'm setting you free
And, baby, now you're just another song to me
And the edge of your sword isn't sharp enough for me
To bleed
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na yeah
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na yeah

Wreck of the Day

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And the light's always red in the rear-view
Desperately close to a coffin of hope
I'd cheat destiny just to be near you
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, on love

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And I'm thinking 'bout calling on Jesus
Cause love doesn’t hurt so I know I'm not falling in love
I'm just falling to pieces
And if this is giving up then I'm giving up
If this is giving up then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, on love

Maybe I'm not up for being a victim of love
All my resistance will never be distance enough

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And it's finally quiet in my head
Driving alone, finally on my way home to the comfort of my bed
And if this is giving up, then I'm giving up
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, on love

Catalyst

L.A. lights never shine quite as bright as in the movies
Still wanna go
There's something here
In the way, in the way that we're constantly moving
Reminds you of home
So you've taken these pills
For to fill up your soul
And you’re drinking them down with cheap alcohol
I might be inclined to be yours for the taken
And part of this terrible mess that you're making
But me, I'm the catalyst

When you say love is a simple chemical reaction
Can't say I agree
Cause my chemical, yeah, left me a beautiful disaster
Still love's all I see

So I'm taking these pills for to fill up my soul
And I'm drinking them down with cheap alcohol
And you'd be inclined to be mine for the taking
You're part of this terrible mess that I'm making
But you, you're the catalyst

You'll be the thing
You'll be the pain
You'll be the star
You'll be the road, rolling below
The wheels of a car
And all of the thoughts, oh god
Don't know if I'm strong enough now
You'll be the thing
You'll be the pain
You'll be the
Catalyst

These L.A. lights, no no,
They don't shine quite as bright as back in Frisco
Do you wanna go?
Still wanna go

Satellite

Black and blue I chose my way
I, the candid castaway
In a way delayed by one more broken season
To find reason for appeasing you and

So I found my guiding light
Lamp and flashing red and white
Through a starry night I'm better nowhere-bound
Than bounding on your solid ground

Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, bated, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio
Ah ah

All in all I feel the same
Wishing on an airplane
It’s calling stars by name
A lonely song of freedom rings
In hope of someone listening and
So I send my feeble flare
Through the silent arctic air
Heading anywhere
Until at last I've finally found
A place to lay my anchor down

Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, bated, all alone
You never know never never

Heaven help me I'm
Drowning and I can't save me
Send some salvation
To keep me alive

Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, bated, all alone
Satellite, save my life
I'm wishing on a two-way radio
Love might be just like me
Jaded, bated, all alone
A whisper on a two-way radio

Consider This

I've tripped again and things are starting to get interesting
Don't give me choices cause I can't decide
My mind is soaked in words
I've come to terms with all my insecurities
And purity’s no friend of mine

And dreaming doesn't do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm alright
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another fight
And you'll say it’s all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me

You're kinda cool but I know better than to break the rules
Of messing with a lesson that I'll never learn
I'll go from bad to worse and later back to better
But I'll never better bridges that I'm bent to burn

And dreaming doesn't do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm alright
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another fight
And you'll say it’s all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay your hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me

This is a warning
This is a warning
This is your warning

Dreaming doesn't do no good
Cause I don't wanna lie
That I'm okay and I'm alright
I'd rather take it and forget it
Consider this a warning
Cause I'll start another fight
And you'll say it’s all alright
I'll wait for the day when you find I'm too much for you, baby
So lay those hands over me
And feel what you only see
But don't bother wasting your time if you're trying to change me
If you're trying to change me
If you're trying to change me oh

Forever Love (Digame)

On the ground
With my world
Upside down
I got a vision of your face
And I must get me out
For so many memories we've yet to make
God don't send to me your angels
I just wanna hear you say again

Forever love
Say your love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
If I go
I’ll know

When you smile
With those eyes
Baby it's like
You place a finger on my heart
And your lips next to mine
Make me think that maybe heaven’s where you are
God don't send to me your angels
I just wanna hear you say again

Forever love
Say you’ll love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And if I go
I'll know

La la la la
La la la la

Forever love
Say it love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And If I go
I know
Forever love
Say it love
Digame, Digame
Tell me so
I can hold you in my soul
And if I go
I'll know
