:::Coming Up For Air:::
I’m coming up for air
I feel the world around me
Crumble in despair
Everything feels empty
I’m coming up for air
Cause everything feels thicker
And I wonder if you care
Cause my time is fading quicker
I don’t have the answers
To why you feel so hurt
You can cry on my shoulder
Before it gets worse
Remember in the kitchen when you said goodbye
I had to grab my shirtsleeve there were tears to hide
Departing my old lifestyle and departing you
Which was more important? Neither felt so true
I’m coming up for air
Hopefully there’s some left
It never is too easy
To pass all these tests
I don’t have the answers
To why you feel so hurt
You can cry on my shoulder
Before it gets worse
Maybe I just think way too much
About your perfume and your warm touch
I threw away all the letters you wrote
Except for that one last goodbye note
And the air is depleted
There’s nothing left
You took the rest
So I’ll have to start life over
But you’re gone
So you won
So you won
:::Give My Heart:::
I never want to give my heart again
I never want to give my heart again
I hold my breath again
This time might be different
But you exaggerate
I guess it’s only fate
This leads to all our fights
With you taking my rights
Will this ever work out?
I do, but you have doubts
I gave you a chance
To say yes
After giving my life
You said no
I never want to give my heart again
I never want to give my heart again
I really sympathize
With you pathetic life
I realized you’re cruel
And that I was the fool
I gave you a chance
To say yes
After giving my life
You said no
And right at the end
You thought we were friends
I never want to give my heart again
I never want to give my heart again
:::No Excuses:::
I still have pictures
Of when you would just stand by me
There are no excuses
For why I always wasn’t there
You were my brother
Sometimes you were my only friend
I can’t believe you’ve gone away
But the memories remain
I still keep my door open
For maybe one last time
No one else would understand
Everything you are
I always felt it
But not as much until you left
There are no excuses
For why I always wasn’t there
And now the year has passed
I never felt so cold
With your traces gone
I guess I’ll have to go my own way alone
I hope you hear this
It’s the only way I could reach you
And all the things we did aren’t gone
You inspired me all along
I hope you are happy where you are
And you gave me courage after all
:::All Of Us:::
At the corner of City and Cleveland Roads
Were the most eclectic people I’ve known
Getting drunk at night to pass the time
At ten we’d arrive and stagger home at five
Climbing through the roof to play some pool
You only beat me cause of different rules
Norwegian parties up in Glebe
Were the best times to bring VB
And all those times I will remember
The start of July until December
Leaving me with memories of certain things
When it was just all of all us, what a rush
Getting a house in the mountains
Another swig but no one’s counting
Sitting up high in the tower
One too many gave us the power
The power to wrestle at the beach
With the light beer in our reach
Getting up on stage to sing our song
Even sitting out we’d sing along.
It’s not over,
And even though the time has passed
It still feels like
I am with you
:::Under Control:::
The sun is out
The clouds are blue
I never seen it look so good
I have one question and it’s that
Why do you occupy my mind?
I thought this was under control
I thought this was under control
And I stand here waiting for a sign
From the angels above
Do you still think of me?
Think of me
Talking outside on the grass
I felt the time went way too fast
The master plan will never work
If I keep messing up like this
I thought this was under control
I thought this was under control
And I stand here waiting for a sign
From the angels above
Do you still think of me?
I'm not giving up quite yet
I worked on this too long
Every time that we converse
You seem so occupied
I have no tricks up my sleeve
Except to be just me
And I don't think that will even work
Perhaps this is a waste of time
Nothing really seems to rhyme
Another week with no results
I can't tell if it is my fault
I thought this was under control
I thought this was under control
From the angels above
Do you still think of me?
Think of me
:::Mixed Signals:::
Baby, you don’t understand
When I touched your hand
It was just a touch
It didn’t mean too much
Now I’m ashamed because I want you to feel
The same way that you did before this ordeal
You never told me
What you felt
Unless we were talking
On the phone
And I still feel that you were to blame
You never gave me signals
Was I to read your mind?
And I think you deceived me
Society looks down on me again because of you
Years ago, we were the only ones who talked in the same group
And now we treat each other like we are old enemies
Maybe we should stay apart
Even though we’re friends
It shouldn’t be too hard
Until this nonsense ends
Now I’m ashamed because I want you to feel
The same way that you did before this ordeal
You never told me what you felt
Unless we were talking on the phone
And I still feel that you were to blame
You never gave me signals
Was I to read your mind?
And I think you deceived me
Society looks down on me again because of you
Years ago, we were the only ones who talked in the same group
And now we treat each other like we are old enemies
Time after time
I give up
I need you around
To make me feel loved
:::Intervention:::
<instrumental>
:::On Second Thought:::
I still can smell you on my clothes
I taste you on my lips like candy
why haven't I confronted you about this
like fairytales, the handsome prince will get you
I want you here next to me
so we could talk
on second thought I might be wrong
to even want
I see you in my dreams its so real
I hear you call my name when you're gone
why haven't I confronted you about this
like fairytales, the handsome prince will get you
I want you here next to me
so we could talk
on second thought I might be wrong
to even want
I feel that you're impossible to catch
but if I just stand here I will never know
when I see you
I will tell you
that you belong in my arms
I want you here next to me
so we could talk
on second thought I might be wrong
to even want
on second thought I might be wrong
:::The Key In Every Way:::
Highly emotional
Is that the way I really feel?
Or is it fake?
A cry for help
And for the last six years
I thought of it every day
I know it’s unhealthy
But it keeps me going on
With the good times gone
It seems to be my story
When I almost gave up
No one was there
But I know you make me so high
You know what I’m thinking of
But you’re wrong
The reason has its purpose way beyond the scope
So is it fake?
These emotions real?
I feel it inching closer every time I breathe.
With the good times gone
It seems to be my story
When I almost gave up
No one was there
But I know you make me so high
And it hurts me in every way, in every way
But you hold the key in every way, in every way
But I know you make me so high
You know you make me high
:::Carefully Spoken Words:::
I did it for the wrong reasons
But I don’t care
When I told a good friend I never knew
That some obscure sources would know the truth
Why did you hold it in so long?
You were so cunning to prove me wrong
But now I know that you know
I did it for the wrong reasons
But I don’t care
As the months built up I thought you forgot
Until you called my house and bluntly asked
Why did I do the things I did?
I told you once I never lied
And now your plan worked, I feel so guilty of my sin
Even though I knew that you knew all along
I did it for the wrong reasons
Now I care
:::New Season:::
The spring air makes me alive
The rain washes away
I’m given another chance
But I hope the leaves don’t die in the end
What’s the use in surviving?
If we’ll only lose the fight
Thanks for the experience
One time’s not enough
I learned a lot through your actions
It never was so opposite
Right now I still feel lonely
But a new season will come
And now the leaves are dying
The winter air is here
I knew that this would happen
But not so soon
What’s the use in surviving?
If we’ll only lose the fight
Thanks for the experience
One time’s not enough
I learned a lot through your actions
It never was so opposite
Right now I still feel lonely
But a new season will come
I want to breathe, the fresh air again
But the time has passed
So I will enjoy this, fresh winter air
Until the new season
Right now I am indifferent
I never felt so warm before
