Something Sweet 03:17
lyrics
buy track
(verse 1) You don’t mistake the fire in my eyes It’s been burning and won’t stop until I die It’s not unusual for me to look this way But that’s because I know I’ll make it big someday (chorus 1) It doesn’t have to be huge It only has to be you (verse 2) You can’t mistake the wobble in my voice Up until now I’ve never had a choice My friends and I, we always felt so free Screaming at the world, watch out for big ole me (chorus 2) We didn’t have to be right I always thought that it might (instrumental) (chorus 2) We didn’t have to be right I always thought that it might (chorus 3) We didn’t know it could be Something sweet but somewhat sickly, so (bridge) When it slips away and my back hurts heavy When I’m looking all alone, remembering the past I know (verse 1) You don’t mistake the fire in my eyes It’s been burning and won’t stop until I die It’s not unusual for me to look this way But that’s because I know I’ll make it big someday (chorus 1) x2 It doesn’t have to be huge It only has to be you

(verse 1) Sometimes Sometimes I can’t, I can’t save you Even though you’re hand’s in mine I’m weak but I don’t need shoes (verse 2) Sometimes Sometimes I know, I know nothing Pouring myself out to you What is the right thing to do (pre-chorus) I know you won’t come back from the pit where you lie (chorus) Once in a while you try to fight When you want to hide It’s getting old And although I try to fight But try not to pry You’re screaming out Who left a pretty parcel in a pit (verse 3) Sometimes Sometimes I lose, I lose function Oh how could I control myself when I can’t see your fingertips (pre-chorus) I know you won’t come back from the pit where you lie (chorus) Once in a while you try to fight When you want to hide It’s getting old And although I try to fight But try not to pry You’re screaming out Who left a pretty parcel in a pit (bridge) Forever I will grieve what I never got to see But maybe, just once, I won’t try to save you (verse 4) Never Never agin will I save you I’m done with lugging your corpse around I’m just gonna leave it where it belongs (chorus) Cause once in a while you try to fight When you want to hide It’s getting old And although I try to fight But try not to pry You’re screaming out Who left a pretty parcel in a pit (bridge 2) Forever I will grieve what I never got to see But finally, for good, I won’t try to save you

Ring Ring 03:38

(verse 1) Time flies when your having fun Cold sore, beach bore, under the sun Could you pass me that alarm clock Bust down, down town, ring ring without a sound (refrain) it’s the end, it’s the end, but I don’t know In the end, in the end, where I will go (verse 2) Well you got cold feet and they’re getting even colder So why don’t you dip dip before you get older Make a splash in the pool of your dreams Take ten, crash test, big chest come on and scream (refrain) x2 it’s the end, it’s the end, but I don’t know in the end, in the end, where I will go (chorus) x4 I know that you’re fine without me I know you would be okay I know that you’re fine without me But could I make it just one day (verse 3) Now the ring ring’s here not just alarm but ears Did you catch yourself glide through your golden years Well before you go home and sleep the vodka off Dance break, body shake, let the music know your name (refrain) x4 it’s the end, it’s the end, but I don’t know in the end, in the end, where I will go (chorus) x2 I know that you’re fine without me I know you would be okay I know that you’re fine without me But could I make it just one day

C'mon 05:11
lyrics

(Verse 1) Indulge in the illusion 'cause what else is there to do It’s possible you love me, but what is real love to you? Cats call to outer space for something greater they can worship And I, I lay in bed counting my breaths 'cause I can’t fall asleep (Chorus) There’s something here, I know it And there’s someone too, I know it But beside my own reflection Could I get some damn direction? There’s something here, I know it And there’s someone too, I know it So come on let’s touch our lips And maybe forget everything for good (Verse 2) Collapsible table, won’t you fold me into three? Each part shot off in rockets so that someone may find me Changing bodies intertwine and dollar signs float in you eyes But I would like to see you try and cut your arm off (Bridge) So how about I dance a space time dance towards forever end And while I step and sway, I’ll hold onto today with you again (Chorus) There’s something here, I know it And there’s someone too, I know it But beside my own reflection Could I get some damn direction? There’s something here, I know it And there’s someone too, I know it So come on let’s touch our lips And maybe forget everything for good (Chorus 2) There’s something here, I know it And there’s someone too, I know it So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon (Bridge 2) It’s too late for you to change my mind Think too much and it’s a waste of time (Verse 3) It’s nothing I can’t do, it means nothing at all I forget when I sing, or when I stare at a wall A dozen little cracks, all perfectly in place Why does anything need to change? (Chorus) There’s something here, I know it And there’s someone too, I know it But beside my own reflection Could I get some damn direction? There’s something here, I know it And there’s someone too, I know it So come on let’s touch our lips And maybe forget everything for good (Chorus 2) There’s something here, I know it And there’s someone too, I know it So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon (hey) C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Hey 03:52

(verse 1) You’re stuck with me And I’m dying to leave Won’t you please let me go Take a break for a moment I’m just trying to speak What comes out is a squeak A confusing and torturous counter to all my needs (per-chorus) I know you think about me I know you care for me (chorus) Hey, you look over there It’s someone who says he knows you care Hey, what did I ever do I can’t let it go even if I choose (verse 2) Collapse and plea Get on your knees So much pressure to hold Maybe lie for the moment Still I’m trying to ask Why you filled me in last About ditching this notion of self control I hold so dear (pre-chorus) I know you think about me I know you care for me (chorus) Hey, you look over there It’s someone who says he knows you care Hey, what did I ever do I can’t let it go even if I choose (interlude) hey hey hey hey... (pre-chorus 2) It’s you and me together At last I’m feeling better (chorus 2) Hey, you look over there It’s someone who says he knows you care Hey, now I’m feeling good Only cause you’re here just like you said you would Hey, you look over there It’s someone who says he knows you care Hey, what did I ever do I can’t let it go even if I choose Oh, no

It burns and I’m tired Time has slipped away My back hurts but I keep bending Oh please, why can’t you stay! I want to believe you when you say Tomorrow will be a better day But it burns and I’m tired so just leave me to decay Let me fall back down the other way So cram a jar around my face I’ll suffocate without much grace I’ll lose my sanity quick and fast So please just pull the trigger! Cuz it burns and I’m tired My breath is running out Can I cling on to your arm and cry I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die Ow!

It's Time to Grow Up 02:50
lyrics

(verse 1) I know it’s nice to bask in the freedom of your youth But sitting in your room all day won’t help you find the truth The truth that we all search for It’s something to desire Cuz maybe when we know, death won’t scare us for a while (pre-chorus) So many choices and dirty tattoos But how can I learn without chipping a tooth (verse 2) Today when I woke up it seemed ten years had passed me by I looked into the mirror dead pan face and crooked smile I’ll never get that time back So many feelings gone away The friends I lost and found again My love for you decayed (chorus) It’s time to grow up Make your life something worthwhile It’s time to grow up Maybe have yourself a smile It’s time to lose your golden shine And step out into the sublime It’s time to grow up (verse 3) Is it any different Different than before You ask this question more and more But do you want to change It seems your too afraid You’ll end up where you are again until you hit the grave (pre-chorus) So please I beg you sir, where do I go what do I do Stop listening to me I’m trying just as hard as you (chorus) It’s time to grow up Make your life something worthwhile It’s time to grow up Maybe have yourself a smile It’s time to lose your golden shine And step out into the sublime It’s time to grow up (bridge) I can’t even tell what matters anymore I swear that long ago I felt the love inside me grow I feel so heavy and I know it won’t last (chorus) It’s time to grow up Make your life something worthwhile It’s time to grow up Maybe have yourself a smile It’s time to lose your golden shine And step out into the sublime It’s time to grow up

When I Sleep 03:15

(verse 1) Cover me, cover me So heavily, so heavily I feel buried Count the sheep, count the sheep how many will it take, how many will it take this time (chorus 1) When I sleep it’s all okay When I sleep I know nothing of today Let me rest my head and sink down deep I pray the lord my soul to keep (verse 2) Borrow my pillow and don’t give it back Cuz I just had a heart attack, attack It strikes when I am all alone The best part is nothing hurts me more, nothing hurts me more than (pre-chorus) You, I sleep to recharge and I recharge to forget But nothing brings me back like squeezing my arm smiling right in front of me (chorus 1) When I sleep it’s all okay When I sleep I know nothing of today Let me rest my head and sink down deep I pray the lord my soul to keep (bridge) Finally I can get some rest from the duties of the day I’m ready to fall into oblivion and wake up all ok (chorus 1) When I sleep it’s all okay When I sleep I know nothing of today Let me rest my head and sink down deep I pray the lord my soul to keep (chorus 2) When I sleep it’s all okay When I sleep I can’t realize no more How many people I have met and all the things we’ll all forget and how much I shake while I weep You and me together when I sleep

(verse 1) I left you in New York I left all that I had I’m leaving now to Vegas Maybe luck will close my eyes (Bridge) Tomorrow I’ll sit down and look at my things I’ll choose which ones to keep and which ones to bring And I’ll see that picture of you I still have (Chorus) Leaving, all that I have and all that I’ll be with you Leaving, something behind a piece of me broken for you (Verse 2) Often I sit and I stare at the wall But today I looked up to the stars Goddammit I screamed, won’t you please leave me be So I can leave you too (Chorus) Leaving, all that I have and all that I’ll be with you Leaving, something behind a piece of me broken for you (Bridge) Tomorrow I’ll sit down and look at all my things I’ll choose which ones to keep and which ones to bring And I’ll see that picture of you I still have (Chorus) Leaving, all that I have and all that I’ll be with you Leaving, something behind a piece of me broken for you
