Ate It Up 02:12
Let's start at the very beginning Sometimes a shitty place to start You knew I fell for you You ate it up And when the world finally stopped spinning And you had man-handled my heart The distance spoke to you You ate it up You ate it up After nights of an endless struggle In dealing with your selfish, flaky games Oh, I saw the light And I ate it up In the midst of your sexual confusion I was too blind to notice one small thing You're really not that interesting at all You bet your ass I ate it up So, next time you're sitting home sorting your tupperware Or knitting blankets on a Saturday night (you know you do) I hope you think of me And eat it up Cause you know I ate it up You know I ate it up Yeah, you know I ate it up

The streets we walked were paved with promise But I've been a fool before I've made enough mistakes to know That you're all I've waited for C'mon let's take our time Let's do this right The world is ours tonight These cold white winter nights They make me wanna stay beneath the sheets, my darling I don't wanna leave your arms I don't wanna leave your arms And if we must depart Let's take a walk beneath the stars, my darling I am falling for you I am falling for you You slide into a smile The way I always wished I could And sometimes the words that can't be spoken Capture me in just a look So, when I get my nerve I'll take your hand and whisper softly This one's for you This one's for you

I just need a day to relax Tired of drawing blanks up in circles 'round you head And everytime I offer, you pass Tell me I went crazy, or did I misunderstand along the way Hey, hey, hey I just need some time to cool down Sick of thinkin fire when you really want rain And tell me what to do with myself Just cut all your losses Cause you're too scared to gain along the way But you said, "lety's believe in love." And I said, "sign me up." And you said, "let's go slow." And I said, "let's go." Hey, hey , hey I just need some space to release You can have it your way everytime i draw lines Ant tell me what to do to keep peace If we just walk away You still keep your pride I keep mine With all the lies Hey, hey, hey But you said, "open up to me." And I said, "I'll set you free." And you said, "it's all we need, is just to be."

It started slow without a warning And it caught my eye It caught my eye It hit us hard on Tuesday morning There was no fight There was no fight And the people on streets, out on buses, on feet They don't understand how precious life really is And they fall And if you really knew how fast life comes unglued We'd all be underneath of the things we believe And stop stalling Oh, but I didn't get to say goodbye And the best of me is by your side It's the fury of 1,000 suns Welled inside All welled inside And I'll never be able to run This doesn't hide It doesn't hide Oh, and the way things'll change in the blink of an eye Will bring you to your knees without reason of why And you fall And they say, "keep pushing on. You can do this. You're strong." But if you're where I stand, you would know that I can't stop stalling Oh, but I didn't get to say goodbye And the best of me is by your side

Take Me 03:32
Summer's fading and I'm waiting for you To blow back into town With the gusty winds of these blackened clouds The sun is setting on the second chapter of The loneliest day I've spent Since you walked out You take, you take, you take me You shake, you shake, you shake me You break, you break, you break me Life's too short to fake it I'm rooted firmly in your palm And wound so tightly around your finger That I can't relax And now I'm waiting on a fruitless call you placed Pretending that this time Is different than the last You're the reason why I hung my pride out to dry And if I could re-arrange your face and laugh... You're not worth it

I can't believe it's been a year Seems like just yesterday Although this time has passed I doubt the grief ever will I see you smiling in my sleep And I hear you laughing in my dreams I wish I didn't wake to find you'll never return Sometimes I wish I never woke at all That icy morning when you left Took a piece right out of me And now I ache to close my eyes And I still live for nights like these Come back to me Come back to me Oh, that smile breaks my heart now Your memory's safe with me I see you smilin in my sleep And I hear you laughin in my dreams I wish I didn't wake to find you'll never return I wish I never woke at all I wish I never woke at all

Salutaions, my great city You've been good to me A place to rest my heart And your shore smiles in waves with such security I find I'm missing when I'm not within your guard And you're magestic in yourself, alone in peace I would reach but I can't release The grip on which I hold my home The grip on all this monotone The grip on all I think I know Grip on fear of dying alone But I want to But I need to How I'd give my soul to see you again Give my soul to see you again You entertain my daytime dreams And you exhaust my thoughts Tears will fall beneath your stars To conquer fights I've lost Staring out my window Watching my whole world go by without a trace of me And all this wasted time spent walking tight rope lines Of promises I'll never keep I'm running ahead now You're all I can see now Is it just me now Or do you hold all the beauty in the world I could just scream now It's under my feet now If I could just breathe now Maybe I could make it through this love Maybe I could make it through this love Salutations, my great city You've been good to me A place to rest my heart
