Seems like yesterday
I was six years old
But I'm close to adulthood now
Or so I've been told
And my life is flying by so fast
I hope I'll make these memories last
'Cause I'm not a little kid anymore
I just hope my life doesn't become a bore
Growing up
In the next chapter
Learning more
In the next chapter
Speeding up
In the next chapter of my life
Having fun
In the next chapter
Break the rules
In the next chapter
Find the one
In the next chapter of my life
Seems like yesterday
I was learning how to write my name
But now I'm worried about my life
And it's kind of lame
'Cause I don't know what the future will hold
I hope I don't get stuck in the cold
No I'm not a little kid anymore
Where I'm headed, I can't tell for sure
Growing up
In the next chapter
Learning more
In the next chapter
Speeding up
In the next chapter of my life
Having fun

I Want You
03:04
|
|||
|
You had the love
I had the pain
You had the pride
I had the shame
You said, "Hello"
And I said, "Goodbye"
Looking back on it now
I should've spoken up
But I was too afraid
I was invisible anyway
I remember those boots, that hair
We were going somewhere
And it's so unfair
'Cause love was in the air and I'm like
"Ooh I want you"
Ooh
I remember that voice, that laugh
We were going too fast
And it was a blast
Too bad it didn't last, I'm like
"Ooh I want you"
Ooh
Maybe it's time to move on
I try and nothing can work out
You're stuck in my head
I can't get you out
I remember those boots, that hair
We were going somewhere
And it's so unfair
'Cause love was in the air and I'm like
"Ooh I want you"
Ooh
I remember that voice, that laugh
We were going too fast
And it was a blast
Too bad it didn't last, I'm like
"Ooh I want you"
Ooh
It was a short lived ride
But it was so amazing
Yeah the time of my life
And there is no phrasing
How it felt to be near you
I remember those boots, that hair
We were going somewhere
And it's so unfair
'Cause love was in the air and I'm like
"Ooh I want you"
Ooh
I remember that voice, that laugh
We were going too fast
And it was a blast
Too bad it didn't last, I'm like
"Ooh I want you"
Ooh
I want you

Tell Me
03:47
|
|||
|
I opened up myself to you
I told you things that no one knew
I thought you were my friend
Never thought that we would end
Then you found him
And I knew that he would win
'Cause he was so nice
And he seemed so perfect
But I knew he was a conflict
So please tell me
Who was there for you when you had no one?
Who healed the scars and brought you to your feet?
Who helped you get to where you are now?
You promised that you'd be with me
And now you're gonna leave me
I've known you for so long
But I guess that I was wrong
To trust you
Secrets behind my back
Respect is something that you lack
Then you tell me that it's all ok
No need to be afraid 'cause
You're here now
Guess I gotta get rid of that frown
But please tell me
Who was there for you when you had no one?
Who healed the scars and brought you to your feet?
Who helped you get to where you are now?
You promised that you'd be with me
Oh but now you're gonna leave me
(T-E-L-L M-E)
(T-E-L-L M-E)
Now that you're gone
Nothing left to do but sing this song
Now that you're gone
Can you at least admit that you were wrong?
Please tell me
Who was there for you when you had no one?
Who healed the scars and brought you to your feet?
Who helped you get to where you are now?
You promised that you'd be with me
Oh but now you're gonna leave me
Please tell me

Nona
04:08
|
|||
|
She was a wife
A mother, a sister, a grandma
A great grandma
An aunt
And a friend
We can all agree
That she was an amazing woman
Who touched all of our lives
The memories she shared
And the legacy she will leave behind
Can't be confined to this song
I am lost
I'm in the dark
I cannot live without you
Nona, come back please
You gotta pull through
See right now my mind is racing
And it won't stop
I really need to see your face
I am shellshocked
Nona, we will miss you
I was promised I'd see you again
Now and again I'll cry without end
My life's just not the same without you
Oh I am lost
I'm in the dark
I cannot live without you
Nona, come back please
You gotta pull through
See right now my mind is racing
And it won't stop
I really need to see your face
I am shellshocked
Here I am wondering who I'll be without her
Now that she's gone
Questions
So many questions
Nona, I miss you
Oh I am lost
I'm in the dark
I cannot live without you
Nona, come back please
You gotta pull through
See right now my mind is racing
And it won't stop
I really need to see your face
I am shellshocked
Oh, oh
Ninety-three and going strong

Anyone
03:13
|
|||
|
I have a million words to say
But I know they won't come out
I've made so many mistakes
That I don't think I can count
Need peace so I plead
That I don't mess up
Words cutting through my heart
Been turned the wrong way
And I'm going insane
Need to break out
Is anyone out there?
Anyone at all
I'm young and I'm blind and
I just need to find someone
Is anyone out there?
This love has left a mark
I just want to find home and
I'm lost in the dark
I don't know how to find my way
I'm lost and can't be found
I need to turn myself around
Can't you see that?
I run
But I can't hide
I fight
But there's no one by my side
I try and I try
To make it out alive
But I'm by myself
Is anyone out there?
Anyone at all
I'm young and I'm blind and
I just need to find someone
Is anyone out there?
This love has left a mark
I just want to find home and
I'm lost in the dark
I run
But I can't hide
I fight
But there's no one by my side
I try and I try
To make it out alive
But I'm by myself
I'm alone

Aftermath
03:47
|
|||
|
The calm before the storm, yeah it's so peaceful
I didn't hear the warnings in my head
It ripped up everything that was in its path
I didn't think that I would make it out
Running from myself
Crying out for help
Running from myself
All I can do
The storm hit us full force
The buildings fell around us
Now we're left in this wreck with no one hold
They said run
We were both told
Now we're broken and lost
We paid the cost
In the aftermath
The streets are blanketed with fallen trees
Debris and waste float around on the ground
A picture of a perfect life is gone
I still don't know how we will go about
Running from myself
Crying out for help
Running from myself
All I can do
The storm hit us full force
The buildings fell around us
Now we're left in this wreck with no one hold
They said run
We were both told
Now we're broken and lost
We paid the cost
In the aftermath
The buildings falling down
The people running 'round
And no one hears a sound
The buildings falling down
The people running 'round
And no one hears a sound
The buildings falling down
The people running 'round
And no one hears a sound
The buildings falling down
The people running 'round
And no one hears a sound
In the aftermath
The storm hit us full force
The buildings fell around us
Now we're left in this wreck with no one hold
They said run
We were both told
Now we're broken and lost
We paid the cost
In the aftermath

High
03:04
|
|||
|
I'm not into that
But it seems like everyone is
And it's not my place to judge
So my friends are all around me
Going up, not coming down
And I'm the only one who's sober
And they're slurring all their words making no sense
And you're resting your head on my chest
And you're telling me you love me
And I say that you're so crazy
And the head rushes fade away
You only laugh when you're out of it
You only take a joke after you take a hit
You only like me when you don't remember me the next day
You only like me when you're high
The next morning
Everyone's feeling sick
And I'm the only one who remembers anything
And I go up to you and I say hi
And you walk past me with a fake smile
And I just don't understand
And they're slurring all their words making no sense
I think about you resting your head on my chest
And you told me that you love me
And I said that you're so crazy
And the head rushes fade away
You only laugh when you're out of it
You only take a joke after you take a hit
You only like me when you don't remember me the next day
You only like me when you're high
So we're best friends at night
Strangers in the morning
And the cycle keeps on going
And the papers just keep rolling
So we're best friends at night
Strangers in the morning
And the cycle keeps on going
And the papers just keep rolling
You only like me when you're high
You only laugh when you're out of it
You only take a joke after you take a hit
You only like me when you don't remember me the next day
You only like me when you're high

Alone at Last
03:18
|
|||
|
You filled the hole of my sadness
But it's madness
To think I liked you that way
Take a deep breath as I walk by you
You're talkin' shit behind my back
But I don't care
I'm alone at last
Why should I listen to someone who doesn't want me to succeed?
You had me locked up
But now I'm freed
It's alright
She started the fight
You'll make it through the night alone
Oh life goes by so fast
Did you really think that we would last?
I'm alone
I'm alone at last
You talked me down when you were all mine
And it's crazy
The things that you would do
And you said our love was ordinary
But it was just temporary
Such a waste of time
I should've known better
Why should I listen to someone who doesn't want me to succeed?
You had me locked up
But now I'm freed
It's alright
She started the fight
You'll make it through the night alone
Oh life goes by so fast
Did you really think that we would last?
I'm alone
I'm alone at last
And I finally get why they said run, run, run
Loving you yeah, it was no fun
I lived my whole life in fear
I just need to get out of here yeah
It's alright
She started the fight
You'll make it through the night alone
Oh life goes by so fast
Did you really think that we would last?
I'm alone
Yeah alone at last
It's alright
M-m-make it through the night alone
It's alright

Better Day
04:01
|
|||
|
I remember being new to school and having no one to talk to
It could've helped if someone came up and said hi
And I didn't tell anyone it was my birthday
I was way too shy
Empty lunch tables
Trying to act stable
Bluffing saying that I'm fine
But you found me
And helped me see that
I wasn't alone
No more switching around
Feeling so left out
It's like I don't exist
I'm finally found
It's funny how
Life can change so fast
And yesterday I was all alone
But you found me and now you've shown
So much love
Today was a better day
I remember when I used to see everyone else going out
It sucked and I just wanted some real friends
But now the party's at my house
We're going out
And I'm finally happy
Overflowing lunch tables
Didn't know we were able
To make so much noise
And you found me
And helped me see that
I wasn't alone
No more switching around
Feeling so left out
It's like I don't exist
I'm finally found
It's funny how
Life can change so fast
And yesterday I was all alone
But you found me and now you've shown
So much love
Today was a better day
Now I don't have to worry about who I'm gonna talk to at school
I don't worry about who I'll hang out with
And I won't forget all the times that I was alone
But those times are in the past
No more switching around
Feeling so left out
It's like I don't exist
I'm finally found
It's funny how
Life can change so fast
And yesterday I was all alone
But you found me and now you've shown
So much love
Today was a better day
Today was a better day

Had My Chance
05:04
|

|
Long time no see
How have you been?
Where did we leave off?
I messed up, I know
But please don't go
I really miss you
All those times when you said hello
I'm hoping you know I was too scared
To say hi
Here I am
Begging you please
Now that I see what we can be is
Amazing and wonderful
And now I'm wondering why
I didn't have the courage
And why I was stupid enough
To let you go
But I had my chance
And I missed the boat
Your eyes, so bright
I wish you were mine
I wish that you could know
That I feel so dumb
And please don't go
I really miss you
'Cause all those times when you said hello
I'm hoping you know I was too scared
To say hi
Here I am
Begging you please
Now that I see what we can be is
Amazing and wonderful
And now I'm wondering why
I didn't have the courage
And why I was stupid enough
To let you go
But I had my chance
And I missed the boat
And I can't move on
You're my air
My life
My soul
And I don't understand
How I let you go
Here I am
Begging you please
Now that I see what we can be is
Amazing and wonderful
And now I'm wondering why
I didn't have the courage
And why I was stupid enough
To let you go
But I had my chance
And I missed the boat
It's kinda cool to go back
Revisit what I felt like at 15

Delete You
03:58
|
|||
|
You can save your apologizes
You know I've heard it all before
You can try and talk to me all you want
But I know who you really are
And you follow him around like a dog on a leash
You do whatever he asks
And I can't help but try to forget why
We were friends
So I'm gonna delete you
Erase you from my memory
Everything that meant a lot to me
Burn it to the ground
Forget you were my friend
Everything we've ever been is now gone
Delete you
I saw you yesterday
And I'm not intimidated
You can try and say you were wrong (I'm sorry I was so wrong)
But I've already moved on
You still follow him around like a dog on a leash
You do whatever he says
And I try, but I still can't remember
What I liked about you
I'm gonna delete you
Erase you from my memory
Everything that meant a lot to me
Burn it to the ground
Forget you were my friend
Everything we've ever been is now gone
Delete you
I think that you should know
You make me so mad
I think that you should go
I'm tired of being sad
So I'm gonna delete you
Erase you from my memory
Everything that meant a lot to me
Burn it to the ground (Burn it to the ground)
Forget you were my friend
Everything we've ever been is now gone
Delete you

This Ain't Love
03:21

(Now I don't have anyone to trust)
Well I tried
But your selfishness left me in the dust
Now I don't have anyone to trust
You lost my trust
Oh-oh
This ain't love
This is sadness
Running away from all the madness
I don't want this
I don't need this
'Cause you, you're kinda mean yeah
This ain't trying
This is dying
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause this ain't love
No
It's all gone
And I'm trying to tell myself, "Move on"
Should've know that this was all wrong
I was so wrong
Oh-oh
This ain't love
This is sadness
Running away from all the madness
I don't want this
I don't need this
'Cause you, you're kinda mean yeah
This ain't trying
This is dying
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause this ain't love
No
So you made us fall
Come crashing down
I had it all but you took it away
And now you don't wanna leave
But I don't wanna stay
'Cause this ain't love
This is sadness
Running away from all the madness
I don't want this
I don't need this
'Cause you, you're kinda mean yeah
This ain't trying
This is dying
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause this ain't love
No
This ain't love
This is sadness
Running away from all the madness
I don't want this
I don't need this
'Cause you, you're kinda mean yeah
This ain't trying

(And you're just distant)
(Distant, d-d-distant)
(Distant, distant)
(And you're just distant)
(D-d-distant, distant)
(Distant, d-d-distant)
Yesterday I had a flashback
Of when we were so close
I take a deep breath
And it all comes back
And you're just distant
I should've listened
I just want you to come back
Get back on the right track
A rough day
A long night
And I don't want to put up a fight
But you're just distant
And I want to be close again
What do you say
When your best friend drifts away?
There's nothing to do but watch from afar
Unsure of who they are
You're just distant
I should've listened
I just want you to come back
Get back on the right track
A rough day
A long night
And I don't want to put up a fight
But you're just distant
And I want to be close again
Ooh-ooh-ah
Ooh-ooh-ah-ah
Ooh-ooh-ah
Eeh-ah, Eeh-ah, ah-ah
And I just miss you
I miss you so bad
And I just need to see you again, again, again
Why can't you come back? (Why can't you come back?)
Why can't you come back?
And you're just distant
I should've listened
I just want you to come back
Get back on the right track
A rough day
A long night
And I don't want to put up a fight
But you're just distant
And I want to be close again

Just Leave
03:08
|

|
I remember trying so hard just to please you
But you only cared about yourself
I remember breaking down 'cause I couldn't leave you
You come on back crying that you've changed again
If you're not happy that I'm happy, then just leave
I'm tired of you begging at my feet
I'm finally at a place where I want to be
And if you don't like that
Just leave
I remember trying so hard just to be fine
You said it was all just in my head
I remember waiting up 'cause you swore it this time
You never called and I walked home in the rain
If you're not happy that I'm happy, then just leave
I'm tired of you begging at my feet
I'm finally at a place where I want to be
And if you don't like that
(You can)
Just leave
If you're not happy that I'm happy, then just leave
I'm tired of you begging at my feet
I'm finally at a place where I want to be
And if you don't like that
Just leave

I'll Be Fine Without You
04:01

Bye, goodbye
All of our friendship has burned to the ground
Say what you want
Scars are formed
And you can't take them back
No no
I'm left in pieces
Here I am
But you don't have a word to say
Why do I care?
I can't let go
And I really wanna say no
Hey I'm here
Go away and I'll be fine without you
Without you
Go away
Why do you stay?
Why do you stay?
Don't you call
All of your lies can't fool me again
You're at fault
Taking time
To heal the wounds you made
No no
I'm left in pieces
Here I am
But you don't have a word to say
Why do I care?
I can't let go
And I really wanna say no
Hey I'm here
Go away and I'll be fine without you
Without you
Go away
Why do you stay?
Why do you stay?
Why am I the one who feels guilty?
Why am I the one who feels wrong?
While you sit there and blame other people for what you've done, done
Hey I'm here
Go away and I'll be fine without you
Without you
Go away
Why do you stay?
Why do you stay?
Why do you stay?
Hey, yeah

The Good Part
04:07
|

|
I talked to you for the first time in a while
It brought back all these memories
We used to be so close
But then you went and ruined it
I don't want to lose you
Maybe I won't be fine without you
Now I remember why we spent so much time together
'Cause you and I, we always had so much fun
Here we are
Neither of us won
And the silence is so painful
I wish we could go back
To the good part that we had
I forgot how funny you were
We used to laugh all the time
I hope we can look back
And laugh
I don't want to lose you
Maybe I won't be fine without you
Now I remember why we spent so much time together
'Cause you and I, we always had so much fun
Here we are
Neither of us won
And the silence is so painful
I wish we could go back
To the good part that we had
And it's just so frustrating
Yeah, there is no mistaking
I can't tell what we're doing
Nobody here is happy
And I'm just so mad that we
Can't just talk it out
Woah
Now I remember why we spent so much time together
'Cause you and I, we always had so much fun
Here we are
Neither of us won
And the silence is so painful
I wish we could go back
To the good part that we had
