Take My Hand

I don’t know what to say
When you look at me that way
Like we’re the only ones in the room
Like you’re for me and I’m for you
Lead the way and I’ll follow
Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow
You think there’s nowhere left to go
So take my hand and I’ll show you what you need to know
So here we are again
Sitting side by side on this park bench
Questioning what the next step will be
The answer is right in front of us, can’t you see?
History always repeats itself
But I won’t stay here collecting dust on your shelf
Make a move or I’ll have to go
So take my hand and we can continue to grow
There’s a move we’re not making
You know it’s yours for the taking
I wish I knew why you were waiting
Grab hold before it starts fading
What are you waiting for
Grab hold before she closes that door
Step forward it’s the only way to go
So take my hand and I’ll show you what you need to know

The Truth
05:39
|

|
Why do I torture myself this way
You’re all I think about each day
I keep finding excuses to see
What you’re doing without me
It always ends with regret
But you don’t ever think about me I’ll bet
You’re moving on with your life
Searching for a brand new wife
Someone who will bring you peace
Endlessly forever is all you need
You deserve the best
Someone unlike all the rest
It’s time for you to fall in love again
Show her you’re not like regular men
Better than anyone else she’ll ever meet
With one touch you could make her heart fleet
This time just please be sure
That she’s not just some one night cure
You’re moving on with your life
Searching for a brand new wife
Someone who will bring you peace
Endlessly forever is all you need
You deserve the best
Someone unlike all the rest
There’s this inevitable loneliness that haunts you
But that’s something you probably already knew
Nothing you do can change it from here
Ignore it all you want insecurity is always near
You wonder why nothing has worked out in the past
There’s a reason why love can never last
‘Cause you’re the reason why love can never last

Believe Me

It’s been two months since you loved me last
And I can’t help but to romanticize our past
I can’t move forward no matter how hard I try
Maybe things would be different
If I never lied
I lost myself in you forgot what I truly need
Out of love out of life, but now all I can see
Is how happy I am even though I’m so alone
I’m still waiting around
Staring at my phone
I wish I could take back every mistake
Believe me when I say nothing about us was fake
I’ve never loved anyone the way that I loved you
If you don’t believe anything else
You can trust that is true
Without you I’m figuring out who I want to be
Thank you for helping me believe I can be free
Without you I cry myself to sleep each night
Hurts for now but I know
That I’ll be alright

With You

Never been so happy before
Finally found what I’ve been looking for
Found my best friend
I’ll love you til the end
Even though you drank all my beer
And you smoked my last cigarette
I’ll still kiss you after all of it
‘Cause I wanna do this with you
Take on this world with you
Make all the memories with you
That’s what I wanna do
Let’s go far away from here
From the garbage mountains
Climb the highest points
Jump off the tallest dams
Swim in all the oceans
I don’t care where I go
As long as it’s with you
‘Cause I wanna do this with you
Take on this world with you
Make all the memories with you
That’s what I wanna do
I can’t wait to see what happens next
Whether it’s twentyseven roomates
Or a place our own
Who knows what color my hair will be
All I know is we’ll be so goddamn happy
Never been so excited for the future
But when I look ahead
Girl you’re all I see
‘Cause I wanna do this with you
Take on this world with you
Make all the memories with you
That’s what I wanna do

What Else

I’m losing it
Go ahead be like rest
Give up and quit
I don’t ask for much
Honesty and an open heart
Longing for your touch
What have I become
What else could I have done
I’ve given my all
Yet it’s still your call
Oh please tell me what to do
‘Cause I can’t bear the thought of losing you
Where did you go
The closer we became the further you’d run
I have to know
What’s so bad about falling
Everything seemed to be going so well
Do you hear me calling
What have I become
What else could I have done
I’ve given my all
Yet it’s still your call
Oh please tell me what to do
‘Cause I can’t bear the thought
Of losing you

You wouldn’t know something good
If it was standing right in front of you
Who cares how we met
The beginning was so unconventional
The way I feel is so unintentional
Baby yeah, I’m standing right in front of you
You can ignore it all you want
We both know there’s something more
But the fear of the future being ruined by the past
Is holding you back
So just let go
Let it go.. Oh.. Oh..
I can’t do this anymore
Because we both want different things
I want love everlasting
To put it all out there
What’s life without risk
Try not to care
Baby yeah, I’ve given up on you
You can ignore it all you want
We both know there’s something more
But the fear of the future being ruined by the past
Is holding you back
So just let go
Let it go.. Oh.. Oh..
Baby take a chance
What will you lose
Baby take a chance
What are you so goddamn afraid of

Reprisal

I see you running far far away
And I can’t blame you
There’s not much I can say
And I’m finally ready to let myself love again
But there’s always something standing in my way at the end
There’s nothing I want more than to let go
It’s your move because you already know
At the end of the day I’ll always be around
‘Cause when I’m with you we’re the only ones in this town
We’ve all got our histories have to learn from it
I know I’m in no place to start this
I’m just as scared to ruin it all
But here I am in a full, full speed fall
Take my hand
You deserve the best
Take a chance
I’ll wait, I’ll wait for you

They'll Say
03:09
|
|||
|
I finally got a reason
To open my eyes
Each and every day
Always wanting
To try a little harder
To be better
They’ll say
You’ll know
Yeah it’s when I look at you
They’ll say
You’ll know
Never thought it would be true
There’s nothing I’d rather
Be doing
Than walking with you
Slowly rediscover
Pieces of ourselves
That we had forgotten
They’ll say
You’ll know
Yeah it’s when I look at you
They’ll say
You’ll know
Never thought it would be true
But that’s the funny thing
It grabs hold out of nowhere
You will never want to let go
They’ll say you’ll know
