Why don’t you say what you’re thinking about?
‘Cause if you don’t speak up then I’m never gonna figure it out.
You might see my ignorance as a sin
But I’ve got two ears and they’re made for listening
So open your mouth and let those words out
If you don’t speak up then I just won’t know
So open your mouth and let those words out
I’ll soak them in and we’ll wash this mess out
‘Cause I can’t read your fuckin’ mind
(You can guess it right though)
It’s no use, I try it all the time
Oh I found there’s a flaw in your perfect picture
I should’ve known should’ve known should’ve known
I can’t keep trying to make you understand
How well you hide
All the secrets you keep inside

“And it’ s only gonna matter tonight”
Is what I told myself each time.
But I don’t know what it was
That made you come alive
Now the flames are burning higher
Should I run or should I fight you?
Although I’ll miss you, I don’t wanna live
Don’t wanna live a lie...
Why can’ t you accept that it’s over?
You know we might as well just let it go.
You claim to change if I don’t walk away,
But I know you...
Then down came the waterfall,
When I found it wasn’t love.
But the clarity came too late
‘Cause the damage was already done.
Getting high on all the madness
Now I’m done, I’ve fucking had it
I’m tired of dragging ‘round this ball and chain
Just let me say goodbye
I’m sippin’ poison and it tastes just like regret
I still remember but I’m trying hard to forget
I’m sippin’ poison and it tastes just like your sweat
I still remember but I’m trying hard to forget

Demons

I've got some demons and they dance so well,
But when the music stops it hurts like hell,
To see their faces when the lights come on,
Twisted and mangled like a drunk in the dawn
They've really got a hold on me
Really got a hold on me
Really got a hold on me
Gotta hold on
Hold on
And I can't seem to
Shine the light long enough to
Keep those demons at bay
I've got some demons with their voice so sweet
They serenade me even in my sleep
I find it hard to hear my own self think
So I'll just pour myself another drink
I've got some demons that stay up all night
They tell me secrets 'til the morning light
About the people that I once called friends
I can't stop it
It's happening again

Fallen leaves Cushioned the soles of our feet
As we sought refuge beneath the trees.
And as I turned to meet your eyes,
O’ how they shined;
That’s when I realized.
And I forget
Just what it was
That made me think of the last time.
Had I tried to make a difference
In your life...
And when I awoke
I swear I heard your voice
Beside me in my bed.
Was it all in my head?
And I can still smell the ocean on the breeze
From your street
And it takes me to those days we felt so free
And I know that in the next life we’ll unite again
For now I’ll carry you in reverie
And when I wake up
I’ll race past the day
So I can go back to sleep
And in my dreams We’ll roam the streets
And reminisce on the good times
I will bask beneath the sunshine In your eyes.

What are you gonna do know
That your time is running out
And the clock is ticking loud
As it counts down, down, down,
To last call
So I slip away
And throw the DJ $10 to play
The new song that I’ve been working on
Every night and every day, but you say,
“Baby please, you’re embarrassing me!
I love to be your muse, but it all sounds the same to me.”
I keep writing songs that sound the same,
Only ‘cause you’re running circles in my brain.
But you know that I don’t mind,
I hope you know that I don’t mind.
Dance along with me
As we drift across the sea
Of rhythms that so swiftly cause our hips
To sway, and twists, and wind.
Any excuse will do,
Just as long as you and I
Get to groove along the dancefloor
So close that you can even hear
My heart beat,
It bumps for you,
Like the beat of the last song,
That they play tonight…
