You don't love me, you just love my attention You don't want me, you just want my affection Still I'm all for the way that you lead with your heart Like you've never been hurt, no one's torn you apart So if I see you again I hope that we feel just like old friends Cause now and then I find your name in the wake of my pen Singing remember when You don't want me you, just want my attention Not gonna undress you, just wanna find some connection Still I'm all for the way that you lead with your heart Like you've never been hurt, no one's torn you apart So if I see you again I hope that we feel just like old friends Cause now and then I find your name in the wake of my pen Singing remember when

If I cannot get out of these clouds Don't you go easy on me If I cannot get myself out Take all your things and just leave And I know it's a long way down Me, I'm stuck in it But you could be free You could be free If I cannot get out of these clouds Don't you go easy on me If I cannot give you what you need Take all your things and be free And I know it's a long way down Me, I'm stuck in it But you could be free You could be free I don't wanna lose you, hurt you bad or ruin you Wanna love you all the time and always choose you And I know it's a long way down Me, I'm stuck in it But you could be free You could be free You could be free You could be free

In Love Now 03:26
And I know you know it Feeling better but still I'm broken And you and I left some things unspoken And I know that's just life Half the time spent waiting to arrive Only to find that it has passed you by I guess you were right I wanna go through the days more slowly I wanna talk to you more gently I wanna figure it all out But I don't think that we gotta rush I wanna spend more time together I wanna get outside in warm weather I wanna figure it all out But I don't think that we gotta rush Hold me like you don't wanna leave me Love me like you don't yet know I'm broken down And I know you have to Play the game with the cards they dealt to you Take the time to worth on the things that you gotta work through Yeah you gotta work through I wanna go through the days more slowly I wanna talk to you more gently I wanna figure it all out But I don't think that we gotta rush I wanna spend more time together I wanna get outside in warm weather I wanna figure it all out But I don't think that we gotta rush But ooo don't wanna fall in a rut Hold me like you don't wanna leave me Love me like you don't yet know I'm broken down Is it okay if we just be in love now?
5.
For Sure 02:52
Hope you know that you got me I think of you in song You got me in a dream-like state And seeing you happy does something to me And I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt your feelings Last summer when I told you I feel something for her Hope that you can forgive me For putting this in song For selling our pain to pay the rent But we're making each other happy and it's lovely And I know you're sorry You didn't mean to hurt my feelings Last winter when you found me, but you weren't quite ready Yeah and I know, got a long way to go But you're mine Yeah, you're mine For sure

Cracked Open 01:42
Living in the mess I made For so long I held her gaze Living in a feeling babe And through your kindness I can tell That you want me to yourself Yeah, it is a ringing bell Something was going on Between us It can't be right or wrong It freed us Still I'm grateful To be cracked open And here's to hoping That you feel the same She hit me just right And just in the nick of time I was stuck in my nicotine mind I don't know what to say So la da da da da da da da Oh la da da da da da da da
7.
No you don't love me, you just love my attention Should really give my heart some better protection You got me hung up in the worst of ways You got me hanging onto nothing babe And you don't want me, you just want my affection Should really give my heart some better protection You got me hung up in the worst of ways You got me hanging onto nothing babe But still I thought maybe we could work it out Barely know what I want, but without a doubt Yeah and I know and I know and I know That we're trying Got my ear to the ground and my head in the clouds Yeah we're finding, that It isn't for the faint of heart Love strong, but is it strong enough? Singing I would never hang you out to dry Break your heart, I'm sure I'd rather die Now that I'm thinking, yeah upon some reflection My drug of choice is always human connection I get so caught up in the feeling babe Wonder if you think about me this way Still I think you left me better than you found me I'm feeling grateful to have had you around me I get so caught up in the feeling babe Wonder if you think about me this way But still, I think maybe we could work it out Barely know what I want but without a doubt Yeah and I know and I know and I know That we're trying Got my ear to the ground and my head in the clouds Yeah we're finding, that It isn't for the faint of heart Love strong but is it strong enough? Singing I would never hang you out to dry Break your heart, I'm sure I'd rather die I would never hang you out to dry Break your heart, I'm sure I'd rather die

Wishing Well 04:19
So what the hell? Threw my money in a wishing well Too soon to tell But I feel better than I've ever felt And I know not everyone gets love like this So bet it all on the music, on the songs On a love that goes on and on and never stops On the people who make you feel whole I could never live without you now And I'm grateful for the life that I have found So nice to see You in love with the people who love me I know you need Something in which you can believe And I know not everyone gets love like this Bet it all on the music, on the songs On a love that goes on and on and never stops On the people who make you feel whole I could never live without you now And I'm grateful for the life that I have found And I know not everyone gets love like this So bet it all on the music, on the songs On a love that goes on and on and never stops On the people who make you feel whole I could never live without you now And I'm grateful for the life that I have found

Goddess 02:08
Sometimes it's hard to see you every day You're still my goddess and I don't ever wanna not see you that way Have we departed the part when we partially felt that we'd lost the faith Cause that was hard on me babe You know that I want you badly You know that I need you with me I just wanna make you happy and not lose myself Sometimes it's hard to feel good every day But lately, better than ever, I could forever just stay this way Deep in love with you babe You know that I want you badly You know that I need you with me I just wanna make you happy and not lose myself Yeah you know that I want you badly You know that I need you with me I just wanna make you happy and not lose myself Sometimes it's hard to see you every day You're still my goddess and I don't ever wanna not see you that way
10.
You Carry Me 03:54
I know I said I'd change, but I can't cause I'm down today So maybe I'll just waste away the afternoon I tried to write it down, my pen on paper spun around It seems that I can't find the thing I thought I'd found Singing I would never hang you out to dry Break your heart, I'm sure I'd rather die So now I'm trying to be the way you are to me Not so up and down it seems And I will hold your hand and call you when I'm out of town And try to never let you down Singing I would never hang you out to dry Break your heart I'm sure I'd rather die Don't it always seem like we're so close To getting out of the dark baby you carry me Of all the things I know, I love you the most But getting out of the dark baby, you carry me But I would never hang you out to dry Break your heart I'm sure I'd rather die No I would never hang you out to dry Break your heart I'm sure I'd rather die
11.
Looking Back 01:04
You and me in a place we will leave at a time Plain to see is not so easy It's been grand, it's been hard and it's gone fast Sometimes the now becomes the past and you're still there But I don't wanna over-romanticize the good times I don't wanna overly dwell in the past There's just some things I have done And some people I've loved and that's that I just wanna live my life Stop looking back Yeah, I just wanna live my life Stop looking back
12.
Put your books down, let's go dance Late Tuesday to a hot soul band Drink beer till we can't stand Two slices and a cola can We're different and that's okay I stay up all night and I sleep all day And you know what you wanna do And you're working hard to see that through I'd tease you about your Tupperware labels You'd bug me about leaving my stuff all over the table I'd be at your place when I was able I guess we just ran out of time Dressed up, we're going out to eat Fancy place on Stradbrook street Tiny plates, tiny food ,there's a tiny chance We'll get drunk and we'll have to cab back You got school in the morning but that's okay I'll wake up early and I'll drive you there at eight And pick you up at 6pm Take you home, we'll do it all again I'd tease you about your Tupperware labels You'd bug me about leaving my stuff all over the table Be there when I was able I guess we just ran out of time I guess we ran out of time I guess we ran out of time I guess we ran out of time You and me, running out of time You and me You and me running out of time You and me running out of time You and me Running out, running out, running out Running out, running out, running out of time
