...and Sing! 03:17
I was wondering about these changes and how you could fall so hard the sighs, they come crashing around my passion but I'll still try to sing loud enough for you Think you're wrong I think you could be wrong this time Yesterday I awoke to a perfect life Think you're wrong I think you could be wrong this time 'Cause it's a song, it's a drug it's a boring life and I refuse to be caught up in the strife Think you're wrong I think you could be wrong this time 'Cause all I wanna do is get away from you To start a rock band, and travel through this land and sing yeah, yeah Time was flashing and I was passing my classes but it doesn't mean a thing My friends were laughing at my frontman dancing but I'll show you in time Think you're wrong I think you could be wrong this time Yesterday I awoke to a perfect life Think you're wrong I think you could be wrong this time 'Cause it's a song, it's a drug it's a boring life and I refuse to be caught up in the strife Think you're wrong I think you could be wrong this time 'Cause all I wanna do is get away from you To start a rock band, and travel through this land and sing yeah

Shirt 03:16
I get this nervous feeling on weekends with good friends and it's time to feel it all again the spring ends and summer beings As I fall into a season's dream and recollect an old, forgotten memory I feel the fear when I was a child in the summer shedding all those hateful tears Let my armor down or close my eyes and drown I'm sinking quickly now but if I run away... I will never dive into the world of the unknown because my life, my simple boyish pride was compromised by a day swimming in the pool some wounds wont heal with time but as time goes I forgot mine Well, who cares? Kurt Vonnegut was right: "So it goes. So it goes" As I grew into a college kid I was in disbelief at the things I never did Now I stand here still a child in the summer running from all of my fears Let my armor down or close my eyes and drown I'm sinking quickly now but if I run away... I will never dive into the world of the unknown because my life, my simple boyish pride was compromised by a day swimming in the... I am gonna dive into the world of the unknown because this time, the problems in my life could be worse so just forget about it

Sometimes you fight against yourself and you can't even stop doing what it is you hate and backtracking is a cause to celebrate because you've learned this point before: that a life is a pattern you learn, then forget You can waste it trying to get back to the end 'til words come around and teach you everything that you'll keep in a heart that you've cut out of steam Watch it slowly dissolve into the air you breathe I'd float away if my friends weren't holding me down Sometimes you try to be the best but there's always someone who seem to get it all They walk through this life like it's nothing at all and you deny that you ever tried I'm just sitting and waiting for much better things "Never knows best," is the song that I sing 'til words come around and teach me everything that I'll keep in a heart that I cut out of steam Watch it slowly dissolve into the air you breathe I'd float away if my friends weren't holding me down I spend my time in a long-lasting day dream.

In My Dreams 03:14
Alone when I'm at home the only voice that sings me love songs is my own Inspired like a raging fire I invent our love in verses I'm a liar and if I can't have you close to me then I can hold you in my dreams Time is swiftly passing by you're moving on with life but you stay the same inside my mind So glad you're happy and content When my heart empties out I fill it up again So, if I can't see you in my life then I'll feel joy and pain at the same time And if I can't have you close to me then I can hold you in my dreams Can you tell me what is real? Is this the way that love's supposed to feel? Or is it me... Tell me what I'm supposed to be Can I see you anywhere but in my dreams? Tell me... I watched you walk away We don't keep in touch these days And now I'm just screaming on a stage When will I wake up, and start to live my life again?

A Funny Life 02:44
The moon's hiding in the sky I feel dead tonight and I couldn't wait for another night alone just singing all my lonely songs that I write and stretching out my voice to hit the final note falling faster out of control And you lend a tired ear to my secret fears from outside my window and knocking on the door you try but all I do is hide I don't think I'm ready and stretching out my legs to stand before my ghost you let me know Your voice comes to me and it whispers, "everything is going to be alright so fall asleep tonight As we walk through this life celebrate the fact you're falling all the time" And I couldn't help but say to you, "only if you want me to" Tears falling from my eyes it's a funny life or am I just crazy? I think of all the times I've tried just to get one right please don't say I'm lazy and stretching out my arms to hold the swaying moon you're reaching, too Your voice comes to me and it whispers that this life is just a dream I hide from my waking life and it comes to us all as we swim against the tides that pull and pull and I will keep my head up for you but only if you want me to

I'm okay, but this sucks I know it's just a phase that I've been going through that we've been going through This season's air is thick and holds me in this place and all I want is to get away Is this how we all grow up? We lose the friends we love to summer jobs and forget our favorite songs I'm alright, but barely and thinking way too hard and staying up too late I miss my friend in China I wish I could be there This unavailing year seems to pull me further down with dreams of drifting out beyond the break I don't know what to say I'm okay, but you suck I know it's just a phase That I've been going through That we've been going through
