Shallow Sleep I'll sing it loud, I'll sing it proud I'll never know what my life is about I don't care if I stand out I've worried about less and it's all gone south What goes through your head? You're silence seems to be hand fed With no ear to lend You gave up that right, you're lonely tonight And I won't pretend So sing it loud, sing it proud You seem intent on calling me out Your questions they cast a shadow of doubt And this fine line makes me want to shout What goes through your head? You're silence seems to be hand fed With no ear to lend You gave up that right, you're lonely tonight And I won't pretend I sing of rebellion So I don't do what I'm told I'd strip myself naked So I could sing about being cold I'd sing of my happier side But, it just wouldn't feel the same I'd strip my life away So I could sing about being in pain So why can't I just be proud? Why can't I just figure this out What goes through your head? You're silence seems to be hand fed With no ear to lend You gave up that right, you're lonely tonight And I won't pretend I won't pretend I won't pretend

Wanted you to Stay It's all over The evening news It's all over Even before it began It's all over Before we had time to choose It's all over If you see the world the way I can I wanted you to stay But you laughed in my face you wanted things to change That's the way they were made They want to give us a label They want to bottle us up, and send us off But that won't give us time to breathe I wanted you to stay But you laughed in my face You wanted things to change That's the way they were made They want to give us a label They want to bottle us up, and send us off But that won't give us time to breathe I wanted you to stay But you laughed in my face You wanted things to change That's the way they were made I wanted you to stay But you laughed in my face You wanted things to change That's the way they will stay They want to give us a label They want to bottle us up, and send us off But that won't give us time to breathe

These Day Are Almost Gone Sit back enjoy the show It's not like you've got anywhere to go Turn on the stereo and we'll get stoned It's not like you've got anywhere to go It's not like we belong These days are almost gone These days are almost gone An empty field and old guitar It always seemed like we would go so far Even driving nowhere in my car It always seemed like we would go so far Need an ending to this story Stick around and write it for me These days are almost gone These days are almost gone So I'll let go now but could you tell me When this party ends will we still have a place here So long my friend I'll see you when you Come around again but don't get stuck in a rut here Sit back enjoy the show I know you've got somewhere you've got to go It's not like we belong These days are almost gone These days are almost gone These days are all but gone

She Knows I Know When you take the bait You learn from your mistakes When you rush the gate You narrow your escape She knows I know She knows I \know When you play the game You do so without shame When you walk away You bear the brunt of the blame She knows I know She knows I know And it's changing me Changing the way I think

Nothing Close He's sunday morning He's dinner at 5 He's all warning And no surprise He's nothing close to me Nothing close to me He'll wrap you in comfort I'll wrap you in lies He'll put in the effort But me, I never try Now do I? He's nothing close to me Nothing close to me He's your way of playing it safe He's an image you need to keep You can't wait to tell the girls That you found someone so sweet You're gonna wake one morning You're gonna open you're eyes When sweet becomes boring You'll turn wise He's nothing close to me Nothing close to me He's got nothing on me He's got nothing on me

Hard To Believe I was down Well I was kicked around It's a matter of a time when you live in a glass house I could feel it coming in the pit of my stomach But ya looked so fine, when ya said goodbye I find it hard to believe That everyone I knew Has been leading me to you I find it hard to believe That everyone I've kissed Has been leading to this Leading me to this Leading me to this I was bored I was self assured Kicked around and I came back for more It does wonders if you stagger summer But ya look so fine, when ya blew my mind I find it hard to believe That everyone I knew Has been leading me to you I find it hard to believe That everyone I've kissed Has been leading to this Leading me to this Leading me to this I find it hard to believe That everyone I knew Has been leading me to you I find it hard to believe That everyone I've kissed Has been leading to this Leading me to this Leading me to this

The Last Word There's gotta be A better way Than to take back every word I say And I must have been born yesterday But I'll see this through, I'm unafraid But it's so easy to say When the words are said They wind up on my conscience So easy to say When a perfect sky, it mocks me tonight I got the last word And I'm sorry I know we've seen brighter days But solemn clouds are so quick to fade So hold your breath for one more day And I swear I'll take all your pain away But it's so easy to say When the words are said They wind up on my conscience So easy to say When a perfect sky, it mocks me tonight I got the last word And I'm sorry And I know sometimes I just don't think And I know sometimes I just don't think And I know sometimes I just don't think I just don't think But it's so easy to say When the words are said They wind up on my conscience So easy to say When a perfect sky, it mocks me tonight I got the last word And I'm sorry

Keep It Simple Let's keep it simple You look out for me, I look out for you We're gonna keep it simple You look out for me, I look out for you Throwing away all the expectations We're Throwing away all the games we've played Let's keep it simple We're gonna keep it simple There's nothing I'd rather do Than to tuck myself away with you Don't think act, I'll react Don't think act, I'll react Let's keep it simple You look out for me, I look out for you We're gonna keep it simple You lay down for me, I lay down for you Throwing away all the expectations We're Throwing away all the games we've played Let's keep it simple We're gonna keep it simple There's nothing I'd rather do Than to tuck myself away with you Don't think act, I'll react Don't think act, I'll react
