Oh this is long overdue
To write a song about you
Don't you think that I've left you in the spotlight
And don't you think that I'll let this flag wave white
So I guess your ignorance is bliss
'Cause if you opened your eyes
You're the last thing that I miss
I swear to God I'll pull this trigger on you
My tongue can spit words that will prove
You got not one bone in your body
To impress anyone but your pity
I've not forgot the words that you've said
I've buried them in my own head
I'll watch them grow to things that
I won't let go
Oh I know you know me better than myself
'Cause I never knew I tried to be anybody else
Next time my name goes past those crooked teeth
Make sure you're lying right in front of me
So I guess I'm nothing without you
If that is true
You're nothing without me
I swear to God I'll pull this trigger on you
My tongue can spit words that will prove
You got not one bone in your body
To impress anyone but your pity
I've not forgot the words that you've said
I've buried them in my own head
I'll watch them grow to things that
I won't let go
This is where friends become enemies
I swear to God I'll pull this trigger on you
My tongue can spit words that will prove
You got not one bone in your body
To impress anyone but your pity
I've not forgot the words that you've said
I've buried them in my own head
I'll watch them grow to things that
I won't let go

Goodbye Ilene
03:15

I've got you tied up in my words
I've got plenty of them
But not one I could keep
Now I'm tied up in your eyes
They reassure me
I'm losing you
I've lost you
Come back Ilene
I've been waiting patiently for you to realize
That you miss my company
Take a chance
Cause there's no point waiting
"I'm moving on" is all I hear you saying
Why can't life be fair?
Home is where the heart is
Who am I kidding?
If you not here
I'm just fibbing
This smile just hides all the frowns
I got portraits of you on my wall
I've been singing songs saying its my fault
I swear I could do this on my own
I still feel the way I did back then
It's just complicated
I'm doing the best that I can
And I swear I'm a changed man
Come back Ilene
I've been waiting patiently for you to realize
That you miss my company
Take a chance
Cause there's no point waiting
"I'm moving on" is all I hear you saying
Why can't life be fair?
Well I've lost all motivation now
Scream out about my mistakes
And how you meant the world and more to me
(You meant the world to me)
Well I'm sorry about all I've ever said
I grantee it's all misinterpreted
I just hope your listening
Goodbye Ilene
I've been waiting patiently for you to realize
That you miss my company
Take a chance
Cause there's no point waiting
"I'm moving on" is all you hear me saying
Why can't life be fair?
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh ohhhhh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh ohhhh
Why can't life be fair?

Fly Away

I know it's hard to keep on breathing
I know looks can be deceiving
Your broken heart
It's still bleeding
I know you don't want to fall in love again
Girl, just give it one more chance
I'm a different kid
Than the one back then
Let's fly away
Let this beat grow us wings
Let's fly away
We will never ever come down
We'll sing till our lungs cave in
We'll dance until the world ends
Let's fly away
Just dance
To the rhythm of this drum
I'll keep you safe under my arms
Just you and me till the break of dawn
Oh he
Won't ever find us here
I know it's hard to believe
I'll take you to a world you've never seen
Let's fly away
Let this beat grow us wings
Let's fly away
We will never ever come down
We'll sing till our lungs cave in
We'll dance until the world ends
Let's fly away
Raise your glass way up high
Hello today
Kiss yesterday goodbye
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Raise your glass way up high
Hello today
Kiss yesterday goodbye
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Let's fly away
Let this beat grow us wings
Let's fly away
We will never ever come down
We'll sing till our lungs cave in
We'll dance until the world ends
Let's fly away

You may call me a dreamer (Ohhhh ohh oh)
Though you know that all to well
You may call me a believer (ohhhh ohh oh)
Even though it's hard to tell
'Cause I know I'm fading
And I know I'm losing everything you loved about me
But don't let me go
I can build the pieces
of everything I broke
Just hold it against me
I never said this would be easy
But I'll try
oh I'll try
yes believe me
Keep your faith in me
No one will ever understand (ohhhh ohh oh)
The feeling of losing things right in the palm of your hand
Now I know what it's like to be a man (ohhhh ohh oh)
It's when you lose your legs you still fight to stand
'Cause I know I'm fading
And I know I'm losing everything you loved about me
But don't let me go
I can build the pieces
of everything I broke
Just hold it against me
I never said this would be easy
But I'll try
oh I'll try
yes believe me
Keep your faith in me
No one will ever understand (ohhhh ohh oh)
The feeling of losing things right in the palm of your hand
Now I know what it's like to be a man (ohhhh ohh oh)
It's when you lose your legs you still fight to stand
'Cause I know I'm fading
And I know I'm losing everything you loved about me
But don't let me go
I can build the pieces
of everything I broke
Just hold it against me
I never said this would be easy
But I'll try
oh I'll try
yes believe me
Keep your faith in me

My Last Chance
03:06
|

It was the look in his eyes that I couldn't forget
The way the blood rushed to his head
He knows he's gotta give it all
Give it all right now
Oh he's shaking and breaking down to his knees
He lost all control in his hands and his feet
He knows he's gotta give it all
Give it all right now
He screams
Whoa ohhh oh oh oh this could be my last chance
This could be my last chance
Whoa ohhhh oh oh oh this could be my last chance
This could by my last chance
This is the reason why he killed everything he ever had
this is the reason why he leaves his luck up to chance
to many prayers to a God he half believes in
To many promises to people who don't believe him
He holds their necks up to truth
choking them black and blue
Whoa ohhh oh oh oh this could be my last chance
This could be my last chance
Whoa ohhhh oh oh oh this could be my last chance
This could by my last chance
So let this crowd get off their feet
Let them feel my demons in me
I'll wear my heart on my sleeve
So you can feel the pounding right in me
Let this crowd yell and roar
Let them feel my own war
All my life this is what I've been fighting for
For the chance of you needing more
Whoa ohhh oh oh oh this could be my last chance
This could be my last chance
Whoa ohhhh oh oh oh this could be my last chance
This could by my last chance

With a raise of hands
Who's lost who they are
With a show of voice
let me hear who you are (Hey)
'Cause I know the feeling
When you stop believing In all of the things that make you who you are today
So when the world is crushing down on your bare chest
When the tables have turned and you're the only one with nothing left
When it feels like anchors hold your feet to the ground
And lies are the only things that people ever talk about
Just sing
When minutes turn to hours
I'm too much of a coward to say
I'm here
I wish I can stand on my own two feet
But I live my life in fear
'Cause I know the feeling
When you stop believing In all of the things that make you who you are today
So when the world is crushing down on your bare chest
When the tables have turned and you're the only one with nothing left
When it feels like anchors hold your feet to the ground
And lies are the only things that people ever talk about
Just sing
Just sing
Just sing
Oh no oh no oh no oh no I'm not going down this time
oh no oh no oh no oh no I'm not going down this time
So when the world is crushing down on your bare chest
When the tables have turned and you're the only one with nothing left
Just sing
Oh no oh no oh no oh no I'm not going down this time
oh no oh no oh no oh no I'm not going down this time

Oh Chicago
05:37

Oh Chicago
Can you illuminate the skylines?
And let all the liars come down to your core?
'Cause I'm still debating
Whether if I should be waiting
For something more
Or should I just run back to your heart?
'Cause it's three A.M. on a Monday morning
And I'm still looking for something that will never be found
That will never be found
And the truth just holds cobwebs
And dreams only come true when your dead
And these smiles just hide the frowns
'Cause I only write tragedies
That's what I do best
And these words just yell and scream
I must love to be depressed
Oh no
I'm Alright, I'm just okay
Wishing on shooting stars have gotten old anyways
And I just got one more prayer left in me
I won't use it on my death bed
I'll die so you can stop crying
Oh, its winter
And it's as cold as where my heart would be
If it was there that would be saying the least
'Cause I'm just a poet that makes a promise
And then writes songs on how he couldn't keep it
On how he couldn't keep it
So don't you worry about me
I'm a musician, I erase my problems with a melody
and I've just tried to live in my dreams
so I don't know a damn thing about reality
Oh no
I'm Alright, I'm just okay
Wishing on shooting stars have gotten old anyways
And I just got one more prayer left in me
I won't use it on my death bed
I'll die so you could stop crying
I stand here alone
With a beating heart in my chest
And this clock ticks and tocks to my dying breath
And I hope it finally comes my ending time
So I could finally say that I timed something right
(I'm Alright)
All I wanted was accomplishment
To show you I was different, I was something, I was better than nothing at all
(I'm just okay)
I've never seen an angel but I swear they look like you
So breath taking
God, I love you
(Wishing on shooting stars have gotten old anyways)
Please don't mistaken me with the man with the words
'Cause you're a swan
And I'm a hummingbird
(I'm alright)
And I've been putting myself down since I was a kid
and it seems that's all I ever did
I stand here alone
With a beating heart in my chest
And this clock ticks and tocks to my dying breath
And I hope it finally comes my ending time
So I could finally say that I timed something right
(I'm Alright)
All I wanted was accomplishment
To show you I was different, I was something, I was better than nothing at all
(I'm just okay)
I've never seen an angel but I swear they look like you
So breath taking
God, I love you
(Wishing on shooting stars have gotten old anyways)
Please don't mistaken me with the man with the words
'Cause you're a swan
And I'm a hummingbird
(I'm alright)
And I've been putting myself down since I was a kid
and it seems that's all I ever did
