Better Days Ahead
03:03
|

|
A sudden spark and trading glances
As if broken hearts could never happen
Undeniable from the second it began
So we put tomorrow off as long as we can
Only waiting for even better days ahead
And always swore it would never end
We carried on and carried on
And always swore it would never end
Under an amber glow, there with me
You had a smile like I’ve never seen
Everyone around us had disappeared
We turned that night into years
Only waiting for even better days ahead
And always swore it would never end
We carried on and carried on
Until we realized we can’t pretend
Only waiting for even better days ahead
And always swore it would never end
We carried on and carried on
Until we realized we can't pretend

Clear Morning
03:46
|

It’s never easy
When we realize we are
Still in pieces
And the countless reasons
We’re right back at the start
New excuses
Will I ever learn
What I should’ve known by now
I'm through with you
And telling myself I'm to blame, not you
I'm through with you
And waiting for a better change in you
It’s become clear to me
You never had a clue
What you should do
I know it’s hard to believe
It’s time that I try to
Go on without you
Will I ever learn
What I should’ve known by now
I'm through with you
And telling myself I'm to blame, not you
I'm through with you
And waiting for a better change in you

Open Your Eyes
03:18
|
|||
|
I tried again
To show you that there’s more
It’s all been said
A million times before
Oh, I’ll be dead and gone
Before you even realize
The ways that you’ve been wrong
And finally open your eyes
I can’t live
Long enough for you to see
No more to give
After all you’ve bled from me
Oh, I’ll be dead and gone
Before you even realize
The ways that you’ve been wrong
And finally open your eyes

My Only Regret
04:08
|
|||
|
I feel it now, it’s all around
I can’t deny it
When the world revolves around
The things you have not found
Life can be unkind
But I’m trying
My only regret is not doing this
Much sooner
The longer I rest, the more I resist
The future
I see it now, I’m all about myself
I can’t deny it
So, I take my time and look around
For things that I have lived without
This time
No compromising
My only regret is not doing this
Much sooner
The longer I rest, the more I resist
The future
It’s time I face it
And take all the blame
It’s time I get
Out of my own way
My only regret is not doing this
Much sooner
The longer I rest, the more I resist
The future

A Life Untitled
03:09
|
|||
|
Alas the time has left me alone
Once remembered these feelings must go
Never will it come back
Never will it come back
A life untitled aimless in it’s ways
Now unbridled has left and gone away
Never will it come back
Never will it come back

Never Going Anywhere
03:34
|
|||
|
These are the times
Daydream weekend long romanticized
All we hoped for
Always better than the real thing
Facing forward
But never going anywhere
And all that time
We spent planning, planning out our lives
We thought by now
That we’d be living, living it out
Facing forward
But never going anywhere

Empty
03:04
|
|||
|
With my hand upon your heart
Before you travel far
I whisper to you dear
“Just keep me right here”
Baby,
You left everything
But the place is
Still so empty
It’s almost been a week
Count minutes without sleep
While you’re out and about in
The city of Portland
Baby,
You left everything
But the place is
Still so empty

Everything To Me
03:55
|
|||
|
I started thinking
As I sit here next to you
There must be something
that put you right in my view
I know it’s something you just cannot see
But it’s everything to me
I don’t need to know
Your life story
I’m making up my own
that put you right here next to me
I know it’s something you just cannot see
But it’s everything to me

Looking Back
03:33
|
|||
|
Now that the calm has come
I can see all I’ve done
From what I can tell
I woke up as someone else
I try to understand
It’s never clear
How all the years that passed
Have left me here
Whirlwind of circumstance
Decisions of my past
Leaving me only regret
To start this over again
I try to understand
It’s never clear
How all the years that passed
Have left me here
Just once, I’d like to have it made

Only I Would Stay
03:44
|
|||
|
It’s easier to be told
than to decide
It’s easier to behold
than have to try
How could I doubt you
Would find a way
And as we both knew
Only I would stay
It's harder when you recognize
It can be your own
It's harder when you realize
It did not make you whole
How could I doubt you
Would find a way
And as we both knew
Only I would stay
