1. KIDS IN LOVE

I look back to the one and only summertime
When my girl was the envy of every friend of mine
She slept safely in my arms
We were so young and invincible

Closed lips, she was never one to kiss and tell
Those trips in the summer never went so well
Young love is such dumb love
Call it what you want, it was still enough

And you're still out of my reach
And you're still all of the things that I want in my life
How could I ask you to leave me?

And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?

Our breath smelled of cigarettes and alcohol
We'd walk down the beach, counting every star
Our hearts beat inside our chests
Leaving us gasping for every breath

Her smile with the wind blowing through her hair
Was so contagious in the air
So satisfying and I'm still smiling

And you're still out of my reach
And you're still all of the things that I want in my life
How could I ask you to leave me?

And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?

We're falling down, can we pick up the pieces?
We're at an all time low, how do we get it back?
We're falling down, can we pick up the pieces?
We're falling down, can we pick up the pieces now?

And we were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us?

We were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?

We were just kids in love
The summer was full of mistakes we wouldn't learn from
The first kiss stole the breath from my lips
Why did the last one tear us apart?


2. ANYWHERE BUT HERE

Tonight is the one thing left
And I haven't said it yet, I'm falling
And the writings on the wall

Today was misery
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down
She held onto my heart
But now my only star is falling
Its burning to the ground

Now I'm crying out

Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here

You're all I've got right now
No one else figures out this feeling
And how lonely it can get
These words can cut right through
Cause all along I've knew you're sorry
But you haven't said it yet

But now I won't forget

Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here

When we're together
Thoughts of her disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'd heal this pain I feel

Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer

Secret love, my escape
Take me far far away
Secret love, are you there
Will you answer my prayer
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here


3. THE SILENCE

Tear in two, she lies awake
The moon lights up the room like day
Another night she spends alone
Without his touch her skins is so cold

The blood thats running through her veins
With every beat theres no escape
Lost in everything she trusts,
Still cant seem to get enough

Even though the world she loved,
It wont ever be the way it was
And his heart of stone left hers breaking

Every night she cries and dies a little more each time
Say you love me (you love me)
Nothing left inside
Say you love me
And the silence will set her free

Memories they take her back
Every moment fades to black
Every kiss and every taste
She wishes time would ease the pain

Even though the world she loved,
It wont ever be the way it was
And her heart is weak, her hands are shaking

Every night she cries
And dies a little more each time
Say you love me (you love me)
Nothing left inside
Say you love me
And the silence will set her free

And every night she cries

I dont know if Ill ever make this right,
Cause I am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness
And Im so scared of this

I dont know if Ill ever make this right,
Cause I am just so broken by the bitterness of loneliness
And Im so scared

Even though the world she loved,
It wont ever be the way it was
And his heart of stone left hers breaking

Every night she cries
And dies a little more each time
Say you love me (you love me)
Nothing left inside
Say you love me
And the silence will set her free

(every night she cries
every night she cries
the silence will set her free)


4. STILL BREATHING

Give me any reason to believe
'Cause I swear I'm done here
'Cause I've seen a bigger picture
And I'm looking for some answers

Tell me that it's worth it
'Cause I'm doing all I can to fight it
And I've never been this scared
And my moment's finally here

Time's racing (Please slow down)
I got to find my way out
I'm hopeless (But hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now
'Cause I'm still breathing

It's hard to be a man
But I'm doing all I can
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing

Promise me some dignity
If I were to stand and die here
'Cause my heart is somewhere else
It's a pain I've never felt

Time's racing (Please slow down)
I got to find my way out
I'm hopeless (But hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now
'Cause I'm still breathing

It's hard to be a man
But I'm doing all I can
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing

Where do we all find love?
Where do we all find love?

It's hard to be a man
But I'm doing all I can
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed (I'm still breathing)
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own (I'm still breathing)
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing


5. BRUISED AND SCARED

It all goes back to the first kiss
It was the one I thought I'd never miss
Maybe we were one of the lucky ones
Maybe I'm just not quite strong enough
This was supposed to be the easy part, but breaking down is what I found hard
Now I'm wearing this smile that I don't believe in
Inside I feel like screaming

She gave me every reason to believe I'd found the one,
But my doubts somehow they sold me out

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid
I'm just a kiss away

I'm finding out in the hardest way
The consequence of every mistake I've ever made
Baby what's it like to be alone?
I don't want to know
I don't want to know

She gave me every reason to believe I'd found the one,
But my doubts somehow they sold me out

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid
I'm just a kiss away

So baby be honest, is this what you wanted?
We lost what we started and found out much more than we want to know
About how we're letting go

So baby be honest, is this what you wanted?
We lost what we started and found out much more than we want to know

I'm bruised and scarred
Save me from this broken heart
All my love will slowly fade and fall apart
Someone please sing this lovesick melody
Call my name if you're afraid
I'm just a kiss away


6. IF YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT ME, WHY ARN'T YOU DEAD YET ?

Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam
that's in your eyes.
I'll write a song about it.
And maybe, if the melody's just right,
I hope tonight it will find you.
It will remind you.

But what's holding me back,
Is the thought of time we never had.
My world's hangin' by three words
That I can't bare to say.

When you hear this chorus,
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?
After all this time you leave me broken, this song
Is every word I left unspoken.
When you hear this girl I'm hopin',
That you'll think of us.

Baby, I told myself that I'll be fine but it's a lie.
I don't wanna' talk about it.
Memories, oh they cut like knives, deep inside.
And I'm falling, baby catch me if you can.

But what's holding me back,
Is the thought of time we never had.
My world's hangin' by three words
That I can't bare to say.

When you hear this chorus,
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?
After all this time you leave me broken, this song
Is every word I left unspoken.
When you hear this girl I'm hopin',
That you'll think of us.

When you hear this chorus,
Do you miss the way the world was spinning for us?
Do you hurt the way that I do?
After all this time you leave me broken, this song
Is every word I left unspoken.
When you hear this girl I'm hopin',
That you'll think of us.
That you'll think of us.

Baby, I sorely miss the vibrant gleam
That's in your eyes.


7. SAVE YOUR HEART

She fell to the bottom of her life, this wasn't meant for two
She struggles to find herself in time but she can barely move
Just try and get up, you gotta slowly brush off
I know that words aren't enough but you're better than this

Save your heart for someone that's worth dying for
Don't give it away
Torn apart, never getting what you've been crying for
It's always the same

She turns the pages everyday just to change the mood
But every chapter reads the same, it's so hard to make it through
Just try and get up, you gotta slowly brush off
I know that words aren't enough but you're better than this

Save your heart for someone that's worth dying for
Don't give it away
Torn apart, never getting what you've been crying for
It's always the same

And you give and you take
And it's love that you want but not love that you make
Save your heart for someone that's worth dying for
Don't give it away

Save your heart for someone who leaves you breathless
And I know that you're scared
Seems like someone said you had it in you
All along you said you knew this felt wrong but not worth dying for

Save your heart for someone who leaves you breathless
And I know that you're scared
Seems like someone said you had it in you
All along you said you knew this felt wrong but not worth dying for

And you give and you take
And it's love that you want but not love that you make
Save your heart for someone that's worth dying for
Don't give it away, don't give it away


8. GET UP

This place is not quite what it seems
Or anything that I was told it'd be
New York, you know you make my heart skip
In my dreams I make it into Vegas

Seattle hits me every time
I can't get Chicago off my mind
New Jersey taught me how to let go
And I've learned that's all that I need to know

In this moment we're connected
If we fall, we fall together

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East coast, west coast, show me what you've got now
Let's go, let's go

Get up, get up
Make my heartbeat pickup
Get up, get up
Be-be-be-beating to the rhythm

I spill my heart from coast to coast
Fall in love with everyone I know
Sometimes it isn't where you're going
It's who you're with

In this moment we're connected
If we fall, we fall together

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East coast, west coast, show me what you've got now
Let's go, let's go
[x2]

Get up, get up
Make my heartbeat pickup
Get up, get up
Be-be-be-beating to the rhythm

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East coast, west coast, show me what you've got now
Let's go, let's go
[x2]

Get up, get up
Sing it like you're screaming at me
Get up, get up
I love the way you make it look so easy
East coast, west coast, show me what you've got now


9. CENTER OF ATTENTION

Jennifer, the party's over
I didn't think you'd make it though the night
Everybody's gone but you're alright
Sweetie now obviously
You know it's not obvious to me
But it's not plain enough to see

You're falling baby
I've been waiting
You took the long way home
In that dress, it makes me crazy
I'm not the only one
It's cold outside
Keep your heart open wide
Save it for somebody who cares
Somebody who cares

Jennifer, the weekend's over
But at least you made it though with style
It all comes together after a while
Tell me baby is it hard to admit
Do you remember what you did?
Where we've been?

You're falling baby
I've been waiting
You took the long way home
In that dress, it makes me crazy
I'm not the only one
It's cold outside
Keep your heart open wide
Save it for somebody who cares

You don't have to walk alone tonight
I don't have to be a gentleman
You don't have to say a single word
Or make believe that we could be just friends

You're falling baby
I've been waiting
You took the long way home
In that dress, it makes me crazy
I'm not the only one
It's cold outside
Keep your heart open wide
Save it for somebody who cares
Somebody who cares
Somebody who cares


10. I SWEAR THIS TIME I MEAN IT

Oh Florida, please be still tonight
Don't disturb this love of mine
Look how she's so serene
You've gotta help me out

And count the stars to form the lines
And find the words we'll sing in time
I want to keep her dreaming
It's my one wish, I won't forget this

I'm outdated, overrated
Morning seems so far way

So I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right

If luck is on my side tonight
My clumsy tongue will make it right
And wrists that touch
It isn't much, but it's enough
To form imaginary lines
Forget your scars, we'll forget mine

The hours change so fast
Oh God, please make this last

'Cause I'm outdated, overrated
Morning seems so far way

So I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
Could get it right

You could crush me
Please don't crush me
'Cause baby I'm a dreamer for sure
And I won't let you down
I swear this time I mean it

And I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right


11. THE END

We tried to fight for what
We thought that we believed in
Maybe it was all for nothing
I bet that it was all for nothing

So we drive cuz we like to be alone
There's no where for us to go
There's no where for us to go

How can you think,
That any of this was easy
With all the friends i've
Lost along the way
When this is over
We're all getting older now
And we all play a part in it
Innocence is falling
Can you hear them calling now
But i'll be by your side until the end

We tried to fight again
Sometimes you find it's pointless
As long as you can live with yourself
Tell me how you live with yourself

So it's time we take the open road
There's no where for us to go
There's no where for us to go

How can you think,
That any of this was easy
With all the friends i've
Lost along the way
When this is over
We're all getting older now
And we all play a part in it
Innocence is falling
Can you hear them calling now
But i'll be by your side until the end

To all my friends
Let's make this count
We're not alone
Not alone

How can you think,
That any of this was easy
With all the friends i've
Lost along the way
When this is over
We're all getting older now
And we all play a part in it
Innocence is falling
Can you hear them calling now
But i'll be by your side until the end
