Optimism 02:46
Are you listenin' for that beat That will fill your heart and move your feet Lose yourself, be lost, and stay Let music melt the world away Like a puppet on heart strings Become one with the rhythm So we can get lost in time I know you feel the same And tomorrow is so far away So lets dance the night away I wouldn't have it any other way Lets make our hearts speak louder Lets make our feet work harder Wrap yourself up in the melody Remember what it feels like to be loved Swing, swing to the left and to the right I wanna be in your arms tonight I'll always hold your had as we Become one with the rhythm So we can get lost in time I know you feel the same And tomorrow is so far away Lets dance the night away I wouldn't have it any other way You make my heart speak louder You make my feet work harder You make my heart speak louder You make my feet work harder I know you feel the same Tomorrow is so far away I know you feel the same So let us melt the world away

Stages 03:46
For every single sleepless night i wasted On you Pencils and pages, dates and ages Come unglued Each song from a place and time from this heart of mine Be strong I know that this is hard for you but our time is through So long If i could write a melody to trap a memory, would it be the same? If i could write a melody to tell our story, would it keep me sane? If i could write a melody... If i could write a melody. These endless nights of stages underneath these Burning lights I never looked back not once... Not twice. If i could write a melody to trap a memory, would it be the same? If i could write a melody to tell our story, would it keep me sane? If i could write a melody... If i could write a melody. If i could write a melody. If i could trap a memory. If i could tell our story. I wrote a melody.

Whole 03:53
I'll give you a secret, that you can keep. About why i'm so damn afraid to sleep. There's nothing but regret behind my lies. Not everyone lives, but everyone sure dies. It will always just be me, my shadow, and my soul. It will always just be me, my shadow, and my soul. Couldn't you hear it in my voice, shattered pride by inevitable choice. Just let me be whole. Couldn't you see it in my eyes? Lucid love and raging fires. Just let me be whole. You've learned to hide yourself all too well. While i can't find myself in a self created hell. It's a lonely place i'm trying not to find. I'd read between the lines, but it appears that i am blind. It will always just be me, my shadow, and my soul. It will always just be me, my shadow, and my soul. Couldn't you hear it in my voice, shattered pride by inevitable choice. Just let me be whole. Couldn't you see it in my eyes? Lucid love and raging fires. Just let me be whole. It will always just be me, my shadow, and my soul. It will always just be me, my shadow, and my soul! IT WILL ALWAYS JUST BE ME, MY SHADOW, AND MY SOUL. Cause i am the one and only Whole, Baby.

Threeday 03:17
I won't pretend things are better than they are, I'm sick of wishin' I had a new name to go by. A lie to live. You crossed my heart, And i hoped to die until i found the strength to say, You should change your ways, Live for today. You know you could died yesterday. You should change your ways, Live for today. You could lose it all without a say. I have momentum to live an incredible life. You should do the same, There is absolutely no excuse To hold back this time As i tell the world, You should change your ways, Live for today. You know you could died yesterday. You should change your ways, Live for today. You could lose it all without a say. I don't know if you know what i'm trying to say, but i can't say it any other way. I don't know if you know what i'm trying to say But i can't stand to waste one single day You should change your ways, Live for today. You know you could died yesterday. You should change your ways, Live for today. You could lose it all without a say. You should change your ways, Live for today. You know you could died yesterday. You should change your ways, Live for today. You could lose it all without a say.

Come Away 02:47
Well i've forgotten all my problems, Sang them all away. Let go of worry just searching for a better way To spend my days In places i've never seen With friends i really don't know, just waiting to become you know A part of the picture. A character in the best best scene Where we are all just sorta happy and i will always get to sing. Come away with me It's time to make that change. Come away with me. We'll call the road our home. Well my mom she will go ahead and ask me Just where where where have you been? I'll reply "Livin on the edge of my dream just about to fall into That perfect situation Where hours eat minutes and have seconds Accepting that the globe wont stop Til' my fingers sprawl out to point out the next destination I left it up to chance. Cause love and laughter come so naturally when you let yourself Come away with me It's time to make that change. Come away with me. We'll call the road our home. Come away with me It's time to make that change. Come away with me. We'll call the road our home.

Starsy 03:00
Oh I've been drinking more than i should I know she don't care, I just wish she would Got so tired of singing to the porcelain Wondering why i even do this? Hands are shaking as i pick up the phone Can't drink enough to forget i'm alone Starlight is my spotlight Don't wanna go home tonight Starlight is my spotlight Can't survive another night Starlight is my spotlight Please don't take me home Tonight. I've been drunk more than i should. Another night of this, i dunno if i could. My heart sorta hurts from the night we met Never said it then, just dealt with regret So now i'm trying to move on So i'll keep singing my stupid fucking songs Starlight is my spotlight Don't wanna go home tonight Starlight is my spotlight Can't survive another night Starlight is my spotlight Please don't take me home Tonight. I've been hungover more than i should. My head sorta hurts but hey i guess i'm good. Lying on my back wrapped up in the sky Starshine makes me smile when i wanna cry. Starlight is my spotlight Don't wanna go home tonight Starlight is my spotlight Can't survive another night Starlight is my spotlight Please don't take me home Tonight.

F-Bomb 04:24
For every night i lay awake Sleepless as the day Mark off the calendar date Cause time has a way of makin' Us look like fools Searching for gold on the ceiling With stars up in our eyes You know it's true Wanting something more but missing whats right in front of you I'm gonna fuck, fight, and be free You can't take that away from me Gonna hate and love the world Sorta like i did that girl I'm gonna fuck, fight, and be free You can't take that away from me Gonna hate and love the world Sorta like i did that girl We had a way of thinkin' The world was gonna end Like it had anything to do with us And our pathetic lives Just keep the wool wrapped and Blinding my eyes to a point I missed somewhere along the way A rose i never smelled Another feeling i never felt I'm gonna fuck, fight, and be free You can't take that away from me Gonna hate and love the world Sorta like i did that girl I'm gonna fuck, fight, and be free You can't take that away from me Gonna hate and love the world Sorta like i did that girl Fuck. Fight. Be Free. (Gonna fuck, gonna fight, be free) Fuck. Fight. Be Free. (Gonna fuck, gonna fight, be free, can't take that away from me!) I'm gonna fuck, fight, and be free You can't take that away from me Gonna hate and love the world Sorta like i did that girl

Cinematic 02:46
I used to love the sunset You said you love it too And never to forget But we got lost in the night sky anyway Had front row seats to the stars But ended up watching passin' cars We sang our hearts out To that radio I'll never forget that night It wasn't wrong it wasn't right Together, forever. Or so it seemed. Cinematic, so fantastic. I don't wanna remember anymore. Picture framed in my mind It's too late to rewind. Cinematic, so fantastic. I don't wanna remember anymore. Picture framed in my mind It's too late to rewind. Hand in hand at the break of dawn. I parked on your neighbours lawn. Didn't know it was our last night together. We went our separate ways. Enough memories for the rest of our days. Did you know i love you still. Kissin' bottles instead of your lips. Maybe its you movin' my fingertips. Every thought an endless stage in slow motion...... Cinematic, so fantastic. I don't wanna remember anymore. Picture framed in my mind It's too late to rewind. Cinematic, so fantastic. I don't wanna remember anymore. Picture framed in my mind It's too late to rewind. I used to love the sunset, you said you loved it too and never to forget but it's been dawning on me that You are a part of me.

Cloudy 05:07
The bed we shared now lies so cold I knelt and watched as you came, as you went Now your miles away with someone growing old And i'm a lifeless statue of crumbling cement Cloudy thoughts on quiet days Hopeless romance is the only thing worth dying for. Cloudy thoughts on quiet days Hopeless romance is the only thing worth living for... Our future turns to ash, as we turn away I still see you crying in the rain The colours fade and surrender to grey Along the lines of a shattered window pane Cloudy thoughts on quiet days Hopeless romance is the only thing worth dying for. Cloudy thoughts on quiet days Hopeless romance is the only thing worth living for... Blood stains on broken glass A million shards of me on the floor I wanted to destroy myself and my past All i did was scar myself as you slammed the door Cloudy thoughts on quiet days Hopeless romance is the only thing worth dying for. Cloudy thoughts on quiet days Hopeless romance is the only thing worth living for... Cloudy thoughts on quiet days, Hopeless romance is the only thing worth a damn.

Can tonight last forever, Don't want it to end, no, never. I think that i've found heaven Alone in these strings In these notes I am free To sing about who I wanna be Don't know where my life's goin' I only know where i'm from. Tonight well i'll sleep lonely, With you on my mind only. Pretty picture in my head shows everything I never said Been dreamin' about what will never be Between her and me Can we make this last forever? If only for tonight. Cause i don't wanna say goodbye, Goodbye. Can love live in memories? Or will you just not remember me. Cause i don't wanna say goodbye, Goodbye. Pretty little angel stole my heart, Took it and ran right from the start. Pretty little angel in my eye, Maybe i'll see her when i die. Pretty little angel stole my heart Took it and ran right from the start Pretty little angel in my eye Never want to hear her say Goodbye. Until then I'll just sing my song. In the hopes she's singing along. She sang that i could change my stars But i couldn't bring myself to. Can we make this last forever? If only for tonight. Cause i don't wanna say goodbye, Goodbye. Can love live in memories? Or will you just not remember me. Cause i don't wanna say goodbye, Goodbye. Well this is my lonely little campin song And i hope your singing along Cause everybody says goodbye Sometime... Oh, everybody says goodbye Sometime.
