Let Me Start 02:18
let me start let me start by saying i’m sorry let me start by saying i loved you the most more than the last girl more than the last but i confess more than the last but probably not as much as the next so let me start let me start by saying i missed you let me lie and say i’ll never go again and i’ll pretend and you’ll pretend i really mean it and you’ll stay by me just because you can it seems so easy to say you need me when it’s the loneliness that we can’t stand so let me start let me start by saying i’m sorry let me start by saying i never was the one it isn’t so bad it isn’t as bad as you’ve made it imagination makes things bigger than they are so let me start.

angels on the telephone tell me not to go but we’re just not where we don’t feel alone she says everyday since i’ve left is a chance that we won’t get but you can’t swim and not get wet and we could stay forever this way i’ll play your favorite songs and sing them all night long and fall in love with exactly where we are and we’ll burn, burn the candle light and stay out all damn night looking for spanish moss and stars these days sink just like stones dragging me down towards the places that i never thought we’d go she says if you ever come back home I’ll take you to the shore and tell you everything we ought to know and we could stay forever that way and i’ll play your favorite songs and sing them all night long and fall in love with exactly where we are and we’ll burn, burn the candle light and stay out all damn night looking for spanish moss and stars they always say it’s darkest before the dawn as if the dark was something wrong they always say it’s darkest before the dawn but they’re all wrong cause i can close my eyes and there you are can you see me too?

Falling 03:47
i can’t stand the sight of you it’s so hard just to breathe you make the stone flow from my knees until i’m falling a smile and i’ll start shaking you’re effortlessly making pretending you don’t mean a thing but i’m still falling please come down and save me i just wanna know your name i need a hero with a capital N i need a hero i can’t stand the sight of you every time my eyes find my pride just falls to pieces and i just fall apart there’s nothing in the dream if there are no happy endings you give me something to believe and i don’t believe in anything please come down and save me i just wanna know your name let the whole world fall in two because i still need you please come down and save me cause i’m still falling.

so i took my love with a sleeping pill and i was out for the day but when i’d finally come to i realized i’d made the big mistakes she says “it’s ok we all do dumb things even though we wish we could” it was a better me than me so give me a bit of s-satisfaction i won’t lie i’ve been waiting for her for so long that i can’t remember why when she says “oh, oh no,” but i took my love like a sleeping pill and we were out for days and when we’d finally come to i’d tried to throw the girl away she says “it’s ok we all do dumb things even though we know we should you would be better if you could,” i would be better if i could so give me a bit of s-satisfaction i won’t lie i’ve needing a win for so long that i can’t remember why when i say “oh, oh no,” so i took my love like a sleeping pill and i was out for days and when i’d finally come to i’d realized it’s time to fade away and we said, “oh, oh no,” i can’t shake the feeling i’m making the big mistakes what can i say? they all go away and this ain’t like the movies there’s nothing that I can do and nothing to say you’re gonna leave anyway

ashley can feel the cameras on her skin she loves the way they burn but she’s getting tired and they keep her awake and where is the applause? the crowds have grown tired of her one-note song that she just keeps singing she doesn’t remember how any of ‘em go and she’s getting tired she’s waiting for her establishing shot where she's screaming at g-d in an abandoned parking lot she says life feels like a movie that just won’t end and she’s got actors instead of friends ashley dreams she’s dying so she can leave from someone else’s stage it always ends in raining roses but then she always wakes

Options 06:06
i confess that i don’t know what i’m doing from what i’ve done wrong and i confess that i’ve got no options and feel my stomach turn when conversation turns to you so please make me do it cause i just don’t think that i am really worth it because i believe we all get what is coming so when it’d my turn i won’t be surprised but if i don’t belong here then i don’t belong so just remember when when you get the call i wasn’t here but please make me do it cause i just don’t think that i am really worth it so lie and make it better but it’s no mistake that i belong where i lie but then i see you but then i know cause when you look at me i know it’s time to go so please make me do it cause i just don’t think that i am really worth it so go on and lie and make it better but it’s no mistake that i belong right where i lie so please make me do it cause i just don’t think that i was ever worth it so lie i deserve better, yeah right if that were true i wouldn't be here at all

Don't Go 03:04
don’t go don’t go i’ll miss you so please don’t walk away don’t go don’t go i need you so don’t you go away don’t think for a second that you’re winning just because you got ahead i thought the same and look where it got me yeah look where i am don’t go don’t go i’ll miss you so please don’t walk away from me yeah i know i should have seen it coming but love was just never my thing i believe if i look with conviction in the distance i can see the world bend that doesn’t mean that even if i mean it i’ll ever return to our bed but that hasn’t stopped me from trying don’t go i think if i tried any harder this room would burst into flames sometimes you have to know when to give up but then again i never did don’t go don’t go i miss you so please don’t go away yeah i know i should have seen this coming but love was just never my thing no love was just never our thing

Relax 03:49
relax what could they do? besides turn on you and color you in as blue i think you think a bit too much “in whites you’ll drown” poison in place of love what could you do without me? what would you do without me? relax you’ve had a few i promise you it all turns out as true i think you think a bit too deep “sell the reds or wind up dead” there’s always a fire to put out what could you do without me? what would you do without me? probably be the order to my joy what will you do without me i did my best, but i always do so relax, you’ve had a few
