"Seventeen"
I was always taught to forgive and forget
I live a simple life but I can't pretend
Like it's all ok, when really it's not
Because I've learned that liars get caught
I know I'm only seventeen
But things get rough
When you live in this town and you know you're stuck
Until you get a car
And even then, you won't get far
Don't get me wrong, it's been a party
But I think I'm passing out
I'm seventeen and it's hard enough
To understand that I'm growing up fast
My mom and dad, were all I had
But everybody drifts like yes
There's always gotta be a better place than here
I can feel the sun, but I'm nowhere near
So what do you say, we make like angels
And get the hell outta here
I could make an honest living at the grocery store
With all the people who forgot their dreams
And closed the doors
But I know that I need more
I can't survive on mopping floors
Now the days of the week are all the same
If I'm not at work, then I'm with my friends
Doing stupid things, I wont forget
Until the day I die
Don't get me wrong, it's been a party
But I need to move along
I'm seventeen and it's hard enough
To understand that I'm growing up fast
My mom and dad, were all I had
But everybody drifts like yes
There's always gonna be a better place than here
I can feel the sun but I'm no where near
So what do you say, we make like angels
And get the hell outta here.
Woooaaaahhhhh
Let's get the hell outta here
Woooaaaahhhhh
Let's get the hell outta here
Woooaaaahhhhh
Let's get the hell outta here.
I'm seventeen and it's hard enough
to understand that I'm growing up fast.
My mom and dad, were all I had
But everybody drifts like yes
There's always gonna be a better place than here
I can feel the sun but I'm nowhere near
So what do you say, we make like angels
And get the hell outta here.
So what, do you say?
We get the hell outta here. -
"The Last Thing We'll Ever Do"
(feat. The Icarus Account)
I just want to breathe you in tonight.
You take up every thought that's in my mind,
so take another breath and close your eyes.
Kiss me like it's the last thing we'll ever do.
We could slow dance beneath the moon
and count the fireflies surrounding me and you
as they light up your already sparkling, dazzling, hazel eyes.
And there's something in the air, some kind of angel dust I swear,
and it's making me crazy, about you, about us.
I just want to breathe you in tonight.
You take up every thought that's in my mind,
so take another breath and close your eyes.
Kiss me like it's the last thing we'll ever do.
I thought butterflies waiting
til summertime's do come around, but I was so wrong.
They are hiding and flying on every cloud of the blue sky
that you bring along with you, every time I kiss you,
and it's making me crazy, about you, about us.
I just want to breathe you in tonight.
You take up every thought that's in my mind,
so take another breath and close your eyes.
Kiss me like it's the last thing we'll ever do.
Cause I just want to breathe you in tonight.
You take up every thought that's in my mind,
so take another breath and close your eyes.
Kiss me like it's the last thing we'll ever do.
And I just want to breathe you in tonight.
You take up every thought that's in my mind,
so take another breath and close your eyes.
Kiss me like it's the last thing we'll ever do. -
"The Poet"
Somewhere deep down in my heart,
there's a poet, and a liar.
They are juxtaposed more than the sun and the moon,
yet they find a way to work together.
And with every word that I say, they are writing and conspiring.
How the hell can we just make it worse?
Kiss the girl that you love, then you hurt her...
For some reason I can't seem to shake
oh, this feeling I get that I'm drifting away from true love..
Oh, if I could rip my heart in two,
then I'd give you the half you deserve.
And just always remember I honestly would die for you.
'cause I couldn't live without you.
And I tried so hard not to be what I saw growing up,
but that only made me into a rabid dog, baring its teeth.
Not the man I hoped I'd grow to be.
two steps closer, I'm six steps back,
and I bring you down with me...
Oh, it tears me apart, yeah, it honestly does,
just to know that I made it all worse.
For some reason I can't seem to shake
oh, this feeling I get that I'm drifting away from true love..
Oh, if I could rip my heart in two,
then I'd give you the half you deserve.
And just always remember I honestly would die for you.
'cause I couldn't live without you. -
"Fall For You"
The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find
This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh
But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible
So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find -
"Your Call"
Waiting for your call, I'm sick, call I'm angry
Call I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet
I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
When you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes,
What's your fantasy?
(What's your, what's your...)
I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
And I'm tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
[4x]
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have)
I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to
And I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn't anything you have) -
"Terrible Things"
By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall in love truly, was all I could think
That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen
She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."
Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things.
Now, most of the time we'd have too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was a story that couldn't compare.
I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string.
Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"
Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things
You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray,
That God shows you differently.
She said, "Boy can I tell you a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please, don't be sad now, I really believe,
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me."
Slow, so slow I fell to the ground on my knees.
So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
If you're given the choice, then I beg you to choose
To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.
I can't bear to see the same happen to you.
Now, son, I'm only telling you this
Because life can do terrible things -
"Stay Close, Don't Go"
I'm staring at the glass in front of me,
Is it half empty?
Have I ruined all you've given me?
I know I've been selfish,
I know I've been foolish,
But look through that and you will see,
That I'll do better.
I know, baby I can do better.
[Chorus]
If you leave me tonight,
I'll wake up alone,
Don't tell me I will make it on my own.
Don't leave me tonight,
This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,
If you leave me tonight.
Sometimes I stare at you while you are sleeping,
I listen to your breathing,
Amazed how I somehow managed to,
Sweep you off of your feet girl,
Your perfect little feet girl,
I took for granted what you do,
But I'll do better.
I know, baby I can do better.
[Chorus]
If you leave me tonight,
I'll wake up alone,
Don't tell me I will make it on my own.
Don't leave me tonight,
This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,
If you leave me tonight.
And don't you know,
My heart is pumping,
Oh, it's putting up the fight.
And I've got this feeling,
That everything's alright.
Don't you see?
I'm not the only one for you,
But you're the only one for me.
If you leave me tonight,
I'll wake up alone.
[Chorus]
If you leave me tonight,
I'll wake up alone,
Don't tell me I will make it on my own.
Don't leave me tonight,
This heart of stone will sink 'til it dies,
If you leave me tonight.
Don't leave me tonight. -
"Stay"
I need some time just deliver the things that I need for now
Everything that I feel's like a warm deep calm casting over me
And it's taking me to somewhere new
If you believe that everything's alright
You won't be all alone tonight
And I'd be blessed by the light of your company,
Slowly lifting me to somewhere new
Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well
Since the last time that we spoke, you said
"Please understand if I see you again don't even say hello."
Please
What a night it is, when you live like this
And you're coming up beneath the clouds,
Don't let me down
All the love's still there I just don't know what to do with it now
You know, I still can't believe we both did some things
I don't even wanna think about
Just say you love me and I'll say "I'm sorry,
I don't want anybody else to feel this way"
No, no, no
Oh can you tell, I haven't slept very well
Since the last time that we spoke, I said
"Please understand I've been drinking again, and all I do is hope"
Please... stay
Please stay
I'll admit I was wrong about everything
Cause I'm high and I don't wanna come down
All the fun that we had on your mothers couch,
I don't even wanna think about
I'm not strong enough for the both of us
What was I supposed to do
You know I love you
Whoa-oh
Please just stay
Stay -
"Vulnerable"
Share with me the blankets that you're wrapped in
Because it's cold outside, cold outside, it's cold outside
Share with me the secrets that you kept in
Because it's cold inside, cold inside, it's cold inside
[Pre-chorus:]
And you're slowly shaking finger tips
Show that you're scared like me so
Let's pretend we're alone
And I know you may be scared
And I know we're unprepared
But I don't care
[Chorus:]
Tell me, tell me
What makes you think that you are invincible?
I can see it in your eyes that you're so sure
Please don't tell me that I'm the only one that's vulnerable
Impossible
I was born to tell you I love you
Isn't that a song already?
I get a B in originality
And it's true I can't go on without you
Your smile makes me see clearer
If you could only see in the mirror what I see
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
Slow down girl -- you're not going anywhere
Just wait around and see
Maybe I am much more you never know what lies ahead
I promise I can be anyone, I can be anything
Just because you were hurt doesn't mean you shouldn't bleed
I can be anyone, anything, I promise I can be what you need
[Chorus] -
"Human"
I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it
But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
I can take so much
'Til I've had enough
'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human -
"My Paper Heart"
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
Tears fall, down your face
The taste, is something new
Something that
I know moving on is,
Easiest when I am around you.
So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
A year has passed
The seasons go
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
Waiting, day to day it goes through
My lips, are sealed for her
My tongue is,
Tied to, a dream of being with you
To settle for less, is not what I prefer
So bottle up old love,
And throw it out to sea,
Watch it away as you cry
A year has passed
The seasons go
Please just don't play with me
My paper heart will bleed
This wait for destiny won't do
Be with me please I beseech you
Simple things, that make you run away
Catch you if I can
Summer time, the nights are so long
The leaves fall down,
and so do I into the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me
Summer time, the nights they are so long
The leaves fall down,
and so do I into the arms of a friend
Winter nights
My bedside is cold, for I am gone
And spring blossoms you to me -
"Something More"
I lie awake again, my bodies feeling paralysed
I cant remember when
I didnt live through this disguise
The words you said to me
They couldnt set me free
Im stuck here in this life i didnt ask for
There must be something more,
Do we know what were fighting for?
Breathe in breathe out
And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store
Breathe in breathe out
The storm is rolling in
The thunders loud it hurts my ears
Im paying for my sins
And its gunna rain for years and years
I fooled everyone and now what will i become?
I have to start this over
I have to start this over
There must be something more,
Do we know what were fighting for?
Breathe in breathe out
And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store
Breathe in breathe out
I fooled everyone and now what will i become?
I have to start this over
I have to start this over
There must be something more,
Do we know what were fighting for?
Breathe in breathe out
And all these masks we wore
We never knew what we had in store
Breathe in breathe out
There must be something more
Breathe in breathe out
There must be something more -
"Like A Knife"
I dream a lot, I know you say
I've got to get away.
"The world is not yours for the taking"
Is all you ever say.
I know I'm not the best for you,
But promise that you'll stay.
Cause if I watch you go,
You'll see me wasting, you'll see me wasting away
Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
These streets are filled with memories
Both perfect and in pain
And all I wanna do is love you
But I'm the only one to blame.
Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.
But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
And these words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember
Stay with me,
Or watch me bleed,
I need you just to breathe.
Cause today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe.)
I'm not living this life -
"Goodbye (I'm Sorry)"
Time has run out for me, everything's distant and I don't know what to believe
It's so hard, lost in the world's confusion and I need to leave for awhile,
Life is so meaningless
There is nothing worth a smile
So goodbye, I'll miss you...
And I'm sorry, but this is my fate,
Everything is worthless, no one who wants me to stay
And I'm sorry, but I've waited too long,
So here's my goodbye, no one will cry over me,
I'm not worth any tears...
It's been the years of abuse,
Neglected to treat the disorder that controls my youth for so long,
I'm in a fleshy tomb buried up above the ground
It's no use, why should I hold on?
It's been five years, don't need one more
So goodbye, life's abuse...
And I'm sorry, but this is my fate,
Everything is worthless, no one who wants me to stay
And I'm sorry, but I've waited too long,
So here's my goodbye, no one will cry over me,
I'm not worth any tears...
Every 18 minutes somebody dies from a suicide.
Every 43 seconds somebody attempts one
If you or anybody you know is suicidal call 1 800 784 2433
And I'm sorry, but this is my fate,
Everything is worthless, no one who wants me to stay
And I'm sorry, but I've waited too long,
So here's my goodbye, no one will cry over me,
So here's my goodbye, no one will cry over me,
I'm not worth any tears... -
"Distance"
I'm driving down the highway
Cold and dark, dead
(It's deceiving)
It's deceiving
And miles and miles pass by
And I'm alone
My eyes feel like they're bleeding
But I'm just crying
Is this what I ask for?
Is this what I ask for?
I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too
And I don't know if my heart will make It through
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too
I don't suppose you heard me
Call your name, girl
If you say louder,
Then I'll scream louder
The cities in between us block the way
They make it harder
But I'll scream louder
Is this what I ask for?
Is this what I ask for?
I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too
And I don't know if my heart will make
It through
I swear I'm sorry
Please don't hate me too
(Don't hate me)
Don't fail now
Hold on to hope
Cause I'm yours
I'm coming home to you soon
(I'm coming home)
Cause the road is very worn
And It's begging me to come back
(To You)
I hate myself when I'm away from you
I swear I'm sorry
(I'm sorry)
Please don't hate me too
(I'm coming home)
Don't hate me too
Please don't hate me too
