Homesick
03:25
|

Homesick for a feeling,
A feeling, not a place.
Homesick for a feeling,
Homesick for your face.
Feeling blue missing you,
Like you were gone without a trace.
Moving up and moving on,
We're grown-ups now.
Getting close then giving up,
Lost in the crowd.
Getting close then giving up,
Never around,
Never forget the love we allowed.
Homesick for the same town where we lived when we first met.
Stuck here with what we found,
It's not the same here since we left.
Feeling wrong that you're gone,
Get out of my head.
Moving up and moving on we're grown-ups now.
Getting close then giving up lost in the crowd.
Getting close then giving up never around.
Never forget the love that we found.

Give Up
03:02
|

I’ve been looking for you in the places you can't see.
I’ve been looking for you at the same time you're looking for me.
I’ve been walking down, down our same old street.
I’ve been hoping that, that we could meet.
All the wrong places, all the wrong faces.
ABC 123 sometimes it ain't so easy.
ABC 123 we gave it up too easily.
I expect from you the things I can't find in myself.
Now there's nothing left except the snow to melt.
I’ve been searching for that feeling we were in.
Some things were meant to come to an end.

Holding On
03:30
|
|||
|
We try to control all the things that we don't know.
We try to control all the things that we do.
Sometimes I don't care how you feel.
Sometimes I don't know what is real.
Just tell me when to take the deal.
We try to control all the things that we don't know.
We try to control all the things that we do.
Did you know it gets old holding on too tight?
Did you know it takes a toll always winning the fight?
Sometimes I don't know how to feel.
Sometimes I don't know what is real.
Just tell me when to take the deal.
Hey, hey - come over here. Hey, hey - wait one minute.
Hey, hey please just stop.

Tough Year
03:37
|

|
It's been a tough year but just like any other,
Don't we always like to complain?
It's been a good time but not good enough.
Who can we find to blame?
We try to rope them in,
Into our vendettas,
And we expect them to, to just get us.
When we fall short we blame them all and we write them off without warning.
Don’t you love it?
The world is always ending but we still made our coffee this morning.
It's been a tough year but just like any other don't we always like to complain.
It's been a good time but not good enough.
Who can we find to blame?
Not always but sometimes life's about what we make it.
Can we still find each other in, in the wake of this?
We don't remember how to talk anymore.
Replace face to face with keeping score.
Don’t you love it?
The world needs us alive not torn.
Maybe we don't have to run away.
Maybe the world isn't ours to change.
Maybe we don't have to run away.
Maybe we should stay.

Best of Us
03:21
|
|||
|
Tugging at my heartstrings,
I’m saying the same things - we’re paralyzed, we criticize.
Getting out of bed can take the whole day.
Will I get a break, is it too late?
It gets the best of us, it’ll take the rest of us.
We let it win, no we can’t let it win.
The sun burning through, awakening you,
Summoning you, summoning you.
It hurts to move forgetting to self-soothe.
Is it worth all the work?
I can only crawl but it’s movement after all.
We do what we can, stuck in quicksand.
It gets the best of us, it’ll take the rest of us.
We let it win, no we can’t let it win.
The sun burning through, awakening you,
Summoning you, summoning you.
They are after you, but you can run, too.

What's Next
02:47
|
|||
|
Let's bridge the gaps in-between the lack.
Is there anything left after taking this step?
The big things keep getting bigger,
The line in the sand keeps getting thinner.
Do we know what's next after this?
Do we know what's left once it's fixed?
When the dust settles and the smoke clears,
Everything is gone but all of my fears.
When the dust settles and the smoke clears,
I hope we'll find a way out of here.

Dig
03:47
|
|||
|
I choked on the words I said,
When I told you I left.
Now they're stuck down deep too far can't reach.
The taste of earth is overwhelming my tongue,
It rests on top of my chest.
Digging deep we find ourselves with dirt stuck in our teeth,
Digging more we'll tunnel through until we find our feet.
And if we've lost our way the paths aren't always straight.
And if we've lost our way we'll try again someday.
I feel my own hands around my throat,
And I'm not sure how to let it go.
They say I'm in control but who knows, who knows.
They say I'm in control but who knows, who knows.
No spade is large enough to fit into my mouth,
To dig the depth it takes and find my way out.

Mid-Thought
02:13
|
|||
|
Sometimes saying nothing is good enough.
Sometimes the silence can say so much.
I know that I can get stuck in the middle of a thought.
In my head, it's so much better.
I'm caught in my head wish I could stop.
Oh, in my head wish I could stop.
The tension's so thick we could cut it into paper hearts,
Stick them with glue.
Wish I could just stop,
Wish I could just stop,
Wish I could just,
Wish I could just,
Stop.

Dang
02:54
|
|||
|
My lips are invisible,
Take me seriously.
My lips are invisible,
Look at me curiously.
My lips are invisible ooh, ooh, ooh.
Dang!
Interrupted again I had something to say.
Dang!
Read my lips and get out of my way.
Dang!
You’ve had your time, it's my turn today.
Dang!
Shut your mouth, I’m here to stay.
I can't taste my tongue anymore,
Can't hear my own voice.
I can't taste my teeth anymore,
Do I have a choice?
I can't taste a thing anymore, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Taste me. Take me.

Resolution
03:37
|
|||
|
I’ve been spending all this time ensuring you won't cross the line.
No one wants to see it through, they just want to see us lose.
When they want to bring us down and never see us come around.
I just know that we can prove together is the way through.
Does anyone believe in love as a resolution?
Does anyone believe in love as a revolution?
Does anyone believe in love as a resolution?
Does anyone believe in love?
Winter lasts so long sometimes we barely ever go outside,
But the sun will shine its face even in the darkest place.
I'm scared being locked away but nothing will forever stay.
Summer will be back again we just have to let it in.
Look me in the eye before you cast your stones.
Find me on the street before I’m left alone.
Say it face to face before I’m left to bones.
