Empty City Nights
03:45
|

Another lonely neon night
Moonlit city, moonlit life
I'm not the only window lit up tonight
If it were dark enough, I'd sleep
If there were light, I might believe
In you, in God, in hope, in love, in me
We all want to feel something
Something that means something
Everything is turning red
There's a pounding in my head
I can't believe that I'm back here again
Quiet, staring at the street
If I look long enough I'll see
Someone who feels the same staring up at me
It used to all make sense
But I've lost what I felt back then
I'm supposed to write a life, but I'm stuck again
You know, it's gonna be so strange
When we look back on these days
And see an empty page
Staring at city lights, another empty city night

I can tell it's you by the time of night you call
Once the world falls asleep, so she doesn't know
You say we're just friends, maybe once upon a time
But something has changed, so this is goodbye
We can't be friends, 'cause
What if I say I love you? Do you know what that would mean?
How that would change things?
What if I say I want you? I'll tell you what that would mean
You'd break her heart for me
I remember when you asked me what we were
Looking back I know why; you'd just met her
I didn't say it then and I can't say it tonight
Trust me, you're better off with her in your life
And now we can't be friends, 'cause
You know who I am, always ripping apart at the seams
Babe, I can't let you leave her, for someone like me

Someday Whole
03:10
|

Today may as well have been called yesterday
It all feels the same
Scared to close the door and feel this room empty
‘Cause I’ve felt that before
I need to know love could come save my someday
'Cause someday's all I've got to keep me hanging on
If I knew my someday love would be here one day
At night I might close my eyes and feel someday whole
I don't know what I lost, or when I stopped feeling
Like I was all of me
I'm always awake, all night just wondering
If tomorrow could change
Love, come save me
Love, let me save you

Stay Awake
03:35
|
|||
I wrap my arms around my knees
While you race to fall asleep
'Cause I know what you're gonna dream
You give me a hurried kiss goodnight
You can't wait to turn out the lights
To be with her when you close your eyes
'Cause as you fall asleep
You think that maybe this should be the last night
You spend without her lying by your side
And it took 'til now for me to realize
You're gonna leave if you dream of her
What's it gonna take to make you stay awake, oh darling?
She won’t last, still you’re drifting away
What's it gonna take to make you stay awake, oh darling?
To open your eyes and stay
I know how it feels to realize that
You let someone get stuck in your head
And worry you like feeling like that
But I know when you wake up to reality
It's never gonna be like the dream
So I'm only with you when I fall asleep
But when I look at you
Holding your pillow in your arms I see
You holding her, and not hanging on to me
Such a tragic way for you to leave
Eyes closed, chasing some stupid dream
Stay with your forever
I am your forever

Ready to Fall
03:34
|
|||
I stopped breathing, 4 'o clock this morning
When all of a sudden I woke ready to fall in love
To fall for you
I don’t know how this finally happened
‘Cause I meant what I felt when I said I was scared to fall
Especially for you
Why'd I have to change my mind, after I left you?
I'm ready to fall for you
I’m hoping you’ll still catch me
I see you from this ledge I’m on
I’m trying to make believe
You’re gonna be waiting down there for me
I’m ready to fall for you, knowing
You’re over me
I don’t know what I was so afraid of
The voice, the feeling that told me to believe in love
I wanted to
Instead I kissed you goodnight
And walked away from you
It’s funny that it’s gonna be love
That finally breaks me
‘Cause I’m falling whether or not
You’re there to catch me

Change My Mind
03:46
|
|||
It's been a long, long time
Since I've felt like a girl whose life
Was worth more than the sum of passing time
Another cold, dark night
Another chance, another try
To believe what you keep saying life is for
You say it's love, I say you're wrong
I want to believe you, so I'm asking you to
Prove me wrong tonight
You're all I never wanted, 'cause I've always thought that
Love can't change my life
Change my mind
I'll let you hold my hand
If you realize what you're up against
Love's never been in fairy tales of mine
Every time I think of love
Not love in songs, but in real life
It seems it hurts more than it's patient or kind
You say I'm wrong, I hope you're right
I don't think love can be enough
On nights when life hurts this much
Change my mind

Forty minutes before the alarm
I'm still awake, waiting out the dark
Watching you dreaming, and wondering where you have gone
I'm flipping through pages of an old journal
And finding a boy who feels so unfamiliar
My head starts spinning, as I'm reminded of who you were
When I knew for sure, that you were in love
I lay my head on your chest, try to feel it rising
There's a ghost in our bed, where I'm used to you lying
Are you in love, or are we dead? Baby, let me know you're living
'Cause I can't hear you breathing
You stare through windows, like the stars are falling
But your reflection shows eyes completely empty
A ghost of someone whose eyes showed the world to me
That's why I don't believe, that I can't hear you breathe
Feel my breath warm on your neck, while you're sleeping
If you're in there, I'll find you wherever you're hiding

It's OK to Choose Her
03:41
|
|||
Her eyes are blue like mine
It must be hard sometimes
To know who you want to see
When you look at me
Let's try to make this easy
If you need to love, it's OK to choose her
I can take it love, If you can say goodbye
If you need to love, it's OK to choose her
Come on, let me know and I'll let you go tonight
If you can let me cry
I fell like a shooting star
You held me like you were sure
You said we felt like a dream
But you woke up without me
Let’s try to make this easy
Say goodbye

Try

The stars are dancing with the city lights
I trace the outline of the skyline
I'm reflecting back into your eyes
They lock with mine, brightest thing in the sky
You look like love, or how I imagined
Love would look to me
I can see how easy we would fall
If we decide tonight, that it's time to try
We're both wondering if the other's tried
To get closer, to another
But if we can't seem to look away
Stands to reason, we've both been waiting
The hardest part is over
All that's left is a future in love

The Girl You Never Found
03:47
|
|||
I'm surprised to see
She can't read your eyes like me
One look and I know everything
About you and me, what we could be
You're not over your first love
The girl you never stopped dreaming of
I think you still love the girl you never found
Because you keep looking at me, when she turns around
There's a chair here, why don't you sit down?
Baby, take a chance on finding the girl you never found
You're trying to ignore
She's not the girl you feel meant for
The one that I can see
You remembered soon as you saw me
When did you stop holding on
To hope you'd find the girl you love?
Don't just fall for someone
If you haven't found the one
