Baby, I know that you're worried
It's gonna get tough now
But we're gonna survive
We're living on our own time
And we're seeing things from the inside
And you know, well we're going stir crazy
Lay down your arms and come with me, peacefully
We could run home, or maybe to Rome
Baby, I know that you're angry
I'm sorry I can't be there
You know that I tried
We're living on our own time
And we're seeing things from the inside
And you know, how things are going lately
So lay down your arms and come with me, peacefully
We could run home, or maybe to Rome
Lay down your arms and come with me, peacefully
We could run home, or maybe to Rome
Remember what I said to you that night
We'll be together soon, oh soon

Rewind

Oh, how can I tell you
That my heart is sinking faster than a stone, and I know
That all of our promises have to go
But we keep repeating forward motion
And the lines are blurring as we drive past them
You’re moving at the speed of light
And my eyes are watching closely but they’re blinded
Then I’m drowning in quicksand
So reach out your hand and rewind
Oh, rewind
And my heart is sinking faster than a stone
And I know
Well, we keep repeating forward
And the lines are blurring as we're flying past them
It's really quite a shame
I thought, I thought we'd be better than this
I hope, I hope that we can change
Yeah
Then I'm drowning in quicksand
So reach out your hand
Rewind
Oh, rewind
And my heart is sinking faster than a stone
And I know

Out of My Life
03:40
|
|||
|
I’ve got waves crashing down on my head
I can feel my face turn red from all the stress that it’s putting on us
I’d love to lie and tell you that I’m fine
But it’d come back to bite
And if I’m left behind
Like the mess that we made, we said we’d clean in time
Like the ink in my skin, you left while you were blind
I remember each line
Well I’ll be fine, oh, fine
Once I get you out of my life
I wonder what you'd say, hey hey
whoa
If I told you what I went through with you, with you
Should I run away?
Hey hey, hey hey
I’ve got chills running down my spine
I can tell it’s almost time, you’d like to give up and say goodbye
I’d love to die just to see if you’d cry
And then come back life
And if I’m left behind
Like the mess that we made, we said we’d clean in time
Like the ink in my skin, you left while you were blind
I remember each line
Well I’ll be fine, oh, fine
Once I get you out of my life
And if I’m left behind
Like the mess that we made, we said we’d clean in time
Like the ink in my skin, you left while you were blind
I believed every lie
Well I’ll be fine, oh, fine

Hold On
02:40

Oh love, can’t we find a way?
Can we just run away?
And if you want to stay,
Just know that I could be gone any day
Love, can you just make a trade
Because I am not afraid
To let you go
Although I know I’d miss you every day
Oh love, hold on
Oh love, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Oh love, can we just find a way
We've built more than we can break
Why give up now?
Oh love, I don't know what to say
We've been through worse before
So I'll say what I'll always say
Hold on

New York Girl
04:17
|

|
When we were young
I remember I used to tell you I’ll write a song for you
And you’d never ever ever be blue
But when you moved away
I didn’t even say, I didn’t even say I’ll see you soon
Or that I’d written you this tune
‘Cause you’re a New York girl
You’re a million miles away and it’s really hard to say it’d even sound the same
Once it made it to you
You’re a New York girl
Surrounded by the city and you’re acting like it’s all okay
Well, it’s hard to say
‘Cause you’re a New York girl
'Cause you're a New York girl, yeah
When we were young
Well, I wasn't that good at sharing
I'm sure that you'd agree
And I'm sorry
But now we've grown a bit
And I hope that you'll forgive me for all my stupid shit
I'm sure it'll take a bit
But you're a New York girl
It's a hard knock life when you're stuck inside across state lines
Trying to avoid the fines
When you're a New York girl
'Cause you're a New York girl, yeah
And I know that you'll forgive me, yeah
Living in New York, yeah
Living in New York, yeah
Living in New York, yeah
New York girl
'Cause you're a New York girl
'Cause you're a New York girl
'Cause you're a New York girl, yeah
When we were young, I used to tell you
You'd never ever be blue
You moved away
But I still love you
I know that will always be the same

Failed
03:46
|
|||
|
Sitting softly at the edge of the bed
Lying to ourselves again
Each silently thinking this is the end
The end
Neither willing to suspend the acting
I don't want to admit
I don't want to admit we failed
Don't want to admit
I don't want to admit we failed, yeah
Speaking past each other once again
Reminding ourselves not to shut down
If we could just get past this part again
Again
We could move on and pretend we fixed us
I don't want to admit
I don't want to admit we failed
Don't want to admit
We failed
I don't want to admit
I don't want to admit we failed
Don't want to admit
I don't want to admit I was wrong

Sinking to the Deep
03:53
|
|||
|
I'll sink again
I'm falling
Sinking to the deep
Possibly for the last time
That's what they said the last time
You know I don't mind the silence
I find it soothing now
Now that I know myself
I checked behind the curtain
And I found nothing
I know I'm lost
It's okay
I did my best to ignore the warning signs
Floating above the dark of the deep
