1.
As I lay in your arms every night Wide awake till the warm morning light I can tell by the smile on your face That you're dreaming of warm summer days When we would ride our bikes and play Until the sun went down and our moms call our names Sometimes when I feel the breeze As I stand outside beneath the trees I look up, enchanted by the leaves as they blow And some nights when I feel the need I'll go stand outside beneath the trees And I'll watch the lightning bugs all eve as they glow As we walk through the warm summer rain Not a reason at all to complain I believe that we're happier now Than the gods, and that fate should allow And it just gets better from here We just hold hands and all our problems disappear And when the stars shine down on me, and illuminate your face I remember when we would sneak, out to look at the Milky Way And we would formulate our dreams, nothing could stand in our way And our problems seemed so small, as they'd all melt away

At four my mommy told me that she loved me and she'd hold me I never met my father- never called once, didn't bother At six I met my step-dad, he seemed cool but he'd sure get mad At mom then she'd start drinking, get depressed and then start screaming Bastard! You never really loved me, all you do is argue and try to get the last word! Can't you see it's your fault I'm drinking, crying myself to sleep at night? Then at twelve I took the trash out, broke the door, glass slit my wrist ow I could not stop the bleeding, mom got pissed and started screaming "Get your blood off my floor, it's your fault you'll pay for that door" and Who knew that my affliction would soon serve as my addiction? And that hurt! But it made me feel so much better never lost it again Helped me to master, all of my emotions the cutting seemed to take all my pain away The years went by, got my head slammed in the door a few times. But I didn't cry cause I liked the pain She and I grew so far apart she barely knew me, Then I grew my hair out to hide my face At fifteen my mother wondered if she should abort my brother Had me make her decision - life or death - I said "Keep with him" She hated me for months, cut back on alcohol and drugs but Took it all out on me and Dylan who was barely three then she'd get Plastered! Disappear for weeks, left the babies by themselves or with me, I finally asked her: "What the hell is wrong with you, mom? I just can't take it I'm going to leave." At twenty-one got a call- the house burned down, they'd lost it all and My grandma burned alive inside my childhood house that night then At twenty-two both brothers lived with me, hated their mother She called me that December, talked about what she remembered She said she had regrets, that she had failed but tried her best and She was afraid of dying- she was bleeding, she was crying Asked me if it was okay if she took some pills and OD'd Had me make her decision- life or death- I said keep living She bled to death that night in her chair- cold, alone, and frightened As I cleaned up her mess I still felt nothing, I confess, but Years later feelings surfaced, I feel pain and have no purpose Other than raise my daughter- I can still be a good father I just go through the motions, just because I lack emotions They're somewhere deep inside me I Keep searching they keep hiding I hide behind my smile, I sometimes laugh, and sometimes cry, but Just know I'll never change, but that's okay I'm not deranged I'm an actor. Going through the scenes, I've got Zoey so I know we'll live happily ever after. Gonna be the dad that I never had and nothing can stop me now Nothing can stop me now Nothing can stop me now
3.
In the back of my mind there's a place you can find all the memories, I wish I could hide Whether I'm awake or asleep; through my days and my dreams I relive your memories, time after time It's like I memorized the lines upon your face when you would cry And when I close my eyes, it's all I ever see (see) And I look for a way to forget yesterday's lonely memories that won't go away I pretend to have fun, but the end of this gun holds the remedies but I have to stay Because I promised I would be here for you, and I do what I say And I'll keep my word until your dying day But please understand that I appreciate my friends And all the love I get, and all you've done for me But when I feel sad, you are the first things I forget As the dark soon consumes my memories I'm sorry!
4.
So many years, so why can't I talk about it now? So many fears I can't allow myself to show I'm plugging my ears, so why do I hear your voice aloud Like you're sitting here with me somehow, when I'm alone You know I'll never get to feel the warmth of love again You showed me what it was but then you threw it all away I wish you'd never loved me, I wish you'd never cared I wish you'd never hugged me, I wish you'd left me there I'm closing my eyes, so why do I see you next to me? And why do I taste your lips, you see I can't escape From all of the lies- Can't come to my senses as I please Cause all of my senses betray me, it's just too late You know I'll never get to feel the warmth of love again You showed me what it was but then you took it all away I wish you'd never loved me, I wish you'd never cared I wish you'd never hugged me, I wish you'd left me there I might forget about the times we spent, and what they meant and Someday I maybe will move on At least I thought I could, and maybe one day that was true, but Then I went and wrote this stupid song I wish you'd never loved me, I wish you'd never cared I wish you'd never hugged me, I wish you'd left me there I wish you'd never loved me, I wish you'd never cared I wish you'd never touched me, I wish you'd left me there

Serial Love 03:46
It all started with a mystery on the night you blew a kiss to me. From across the room my misery would soon be replaced with disbelief Then I was glowing, my heart was exploding Felt like I was floating, I could blow away, hey hey hey hey I never wanted you to turn around again The world around me blurred and froze and then I said that I forgot about my friends, they left without me And so you offered me a ride As you drove me home we talked about all the things we couldn't live without When you stopped the car I could not get out as my mind was filled with fear and doubt Until you kissed me, worries stopped existing I could not resist the, urge to bring you in in in in in I never wanted you to leave my side again Just take my hand and be my bride and then Forget about your family and your friends- it's all about me And so I locked you up that night Please understand that this was how it had to be I drove your car into the lake one night so now you're safe with me And that's okay cause all the things you said you could not live without Are locked inside my basement with you, there's no need to scream or shout Cause I'll be here right by your side until the day you have to die Oh baby hit me, so I know you're still with me - I love you Baby, seems like you might hate me Haven't said much lately, or even drawn a breath I never wanted you to run away again Forgot to mention food and water when You told me all the things you needed can you please forgive me I hope that we can still be friends until the end If you get lonely I will get your friends And family then we can both begin our lives together No one will hear from us again
6.
Once upon a time there was a girl who nearly made me lose my mind She was one of a kind, she truly was sublime, oh yeah Now beauty such as this should not exist, you know it ought to be a crime She makes me high- she truly blows my mind, oh yeah Cause she is like a drug, and I just can not get enough And now I have withdrawn from everything and everyone Cause she is all I need, oh god I hope she sticks around Cause when she leaves my world comes crashing down And once you've had a taste you can't escape, you'll never be the same again You can't be friends, at best you can pretend, oh no And there's no hope for me but hopefully this isn't how the story ends For us to win, we have to score again. Oh, no Cause she is like a drug, and I just can not get enough And now I have withdrawn from everything and everyone Cause she is all I need, oh god I hope she sticks around Cause when she leaves my world comes crashing down Hiding from the sun is so much fun Have we become curmudgeons? Reclusive misanthropes on the run. What can be done? Nothing lasts forever, like the weather, things were bound to finally change She ran away, I text her every day. Oh yeah I'm not feeling well, I fell like Hell would be a better place to stay My body aches, and she's the only thing I crave, YEAHHH! Cause she was like a drug, and I just could not get enough And I seem to have lost all of the things I used to love Cause she was all I needed, god I wish she'd stuck around But now she's gone and my world's crashing down Whoah oh oh, it's crashing down Whoa oh oh, it's crashing down Whoa oh oh, it's crashing down Whoa oh oh, it's crashing down
7.
I lie when I pretend that I can live without you It doesn't really matter what I say or do Cause all the winding roads will lead back to you So please be kind, and please rewind to the better days To back before I said and did those stupid things That time won't seem to wash away And I wanted you to know that I belong to you And you need to know that I can barely breathe So baby, please love me responsibly My tender heart can bleed so easily So baby, please love me responsibly I think of you constantly, and I need your honesty Is there something wrong with me? I waste my time, pretending I could ever get sleep Cause every time I do I just have a dream, and you're lying next to me With open eyes, I realize it wasn't what it seemed And you're so far away from me, and I feel sad And I just want to scream And I wanted you to know my heart beats on for you And to thank you so for visiting my dream So baby, please love me responsibly My tender heart can bleed so easily So baby, please love me responsibly I think of you constantly, and I need your honesty Is there something wrong with me? So aimlessly I roam the streets in search of one who can complete me like you did, but none will do, and so I circle back to you And when we ended, nothing felt quite right, oh no Now I return to the scene of the crime, oh no! So baby, please love me responsibly My tender heart can bleed so easily So baby, please love me responsibly I think of you constantly, and I need your honesty Is there something wrong with me?
8.
Return 03:22
I must want to lose my mind Cause this happens every time I can't walk in a straight line Cause with love I am totally blind Maybe I should get up And speak my mind for once But lately I can't even stand up Cause I just keep on falling in love If you return, and we take it slow It just doesn't matter where we go We belong together baby This I've always known Well maybe I spoke to soon Cause your love's like a harpoon I bleed out as I swoon And I keep getting pulled back to you When I return, and we take it slow It just doesn't matter where we go Cause we're perfect together, baby This I've always know Cause when you return, and we take it slow It just doesn't matter where we go Cause when we're together, baby We will always glow This addiction lacks conviction Keeps me home with all these symptoms So how am I to escape? Well I practice what I preach A cactus-covered beach I'd cross with my bare feet For a chance to get back in your sheets (you're so sweet) When I return, and we take it slow It just doesn't matter where we go Cause we're perfect together, baby This I've always known Cause when I return, and we'll take it slow It just doesn't matter where we go As long as you're with me, baby I will always glow
9.
Well it seemed to me that things were happy as things can be So I just can't understand just why you had to go but you packed your bags and left a note by the door Baby, what for? Now it seems as though I just do not have a thing to show For all I've lost, and I can't believe it's come to this So I grit my teeth and shake my fist at the sky Screaming out "Why?!" Until I find another girl who's just like you But she'll be prettier and always speak the truth She'll be so warm and sweet, and kind to me So I guess she really won't be much like you Well it seems that I will make it through, gonna need some time To pack and move, but it's hard to leave anything behind When my sheets and clothes and things remind me of you What will I do? Until I find another girl who's just like you And she'll be prettier and always speak the truth She'll be so warm and sweet, and kind to me So I guess she really won't be much like you I'll burn my sheets, and everything, until there's nothing left and she, is nothing but a distant memory! It seems to me that things are back to how things should be And I'm so happy to spend my time with someone who Understands the tortures I've been through and appreciates the things I do- Never would have found her without you- I've finally Found another girl who's not like you And she's so beautiful and always speaks the truth And she's so warm and sweet, and takes care of me So I guess she really isn't much like you Oh no! Well I guess she really isn't much like you!
10.
Save Me 03:20
What's your name? Where have you been? May I kiss your cheek, or hold your hand? Oh where are priorities when you need them? Disbelief settles in. My lips won't speak- not again... Oh why, is our biology so misleading? Save me from all the lies and pain Oh won't you save me from me? Kiss your feet, bow my head You remind me that I'm not dead Oh where have you been all my life till this evening? Save me from all the lies and shame Oh can't you save me from me? Had to abandon all reason Although that is treason I know that you're leavin' today. Hey Walked away, head in hands I'll sleep all day until it mends Oh why were your apologies so deceiving? Save me from all the lies and shame Oh can't you save me from me? Save me, please save... please save me from me...
11.
Entropy 02:53
Sometimes I can't figure out just what I'm looking for The sign's so bright this time, it just can't be ignored I'm lost without you, but I doubt you'd ever see That you mean everything to me Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, help me see help me see You're the light, to my dark entropy Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, set me free, set me free I'm locked away, and you hold all the keys Sometimes I can't figure out what I'm supposed to say Hello my love will you please marry me someday Won't sound quite right, I think I might just disappear A nervous wreck drowning in fear Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, help me speak, help me speak When I'm lost, you're the words that I seek Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, help me breathe, help me breathe When I drown, you're the air that I need Walk away and I'll fall on my knees but I shall crawl Back to your side where I stand taller than the trees oh oh oh, oh oh oh, help me see help me see You're the starts in the skies over me oh oh oh, oh oh oh, help me please, help me please You're the source of my causality You're the sky, you're the earth, you're the seas You're the warmth, you're the sun, you're the breeze
12.
Parallels 03:45
We fit together like a spider and its prey I know she'll get me as I'm struggling to get away My life seems so complete till she sucks it out of me The web's so tangled now I know I'll never get away She's a parallel, and we're not faring well She's a parallel to me We're like two magnets with the same polarity I'd move in closer but it's pushing her away from me She seems at arm's length when she's right next to me And she's attracted to exactly what she doesn't need She's a parallel, and we're not faring well Cause she's a parallel to me And she's a parallel, and she's not faring well And she's a parallel to me It's like I'm copper and she's pure electricity We get together and the sparks fly endlessly When we reach our extremes, and she burns a hole through me She keeps on going even knowing that she's killing me She's a parallel, and we're not faring well She's a parallel to me And she's a parallel (Always waiting) We're not faring well (There's no mistaking) She's a parallel to me (She's not for me)
13.
Love is a zombie- when I think it's dead, it's back to haunt me gets inside my head and feeds- it changes me Lost in the moment and I'm so afraid, before I know it now my Soul's escaped from me- it's hers to keep.. I sing woooo, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, what can I do? They say that I should get away from this, but I'm addicted to the grave and it's too late- there's no escape I'd rather take abuse with no defense, than face rejection laced with loneliness and grief, so let me bleed And sing woooo, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, what can I do? To make you change your mind? To make you change your ways? I'd do it all myself, it doesn't matter what it takes! So maybe I'm in love, or maybe I'm insane I can't tell anymore, I'll just sit back, relax, And sing woooo, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, cause they don't know what I've been through with you, what can I do?
14.
So many place that I'd really like to go So many faces that I really wanna know But when I really start to think about it My head starts shaking and I start to doubt it How could I ever really leave this place alone And face this on my own When we could start again and go right back to how things used to be Before we did the things that made us turn and go our separate ways So many questions that I'd really love to ask Like if we do this is it even gonna last? But when I really start to think about it My head starts shaking and I scream and shout it How could I ever really leave this place alone And face this on my own When we could start again and go right back to how things used to be Before we did the things that made us grow apart, oh baby When we could start again and go right back to how things used to be Before we did the things that made us turn and go our separate ways But when I really start to think about it My head starts spinning and I scream and shout it How could I ever really leave this place alone And face this on my own When we could start again and go right back to how things used to be Before I did the things that made me break your heart, oh baby We can start again, let's go right back to how things used to be Before we did the things that made us turn and go our separate ways
15.
It's all so clear, yet I'm confused It's in the air, it's on the news All that I want- all I could choose Could not compare to thoughts of you When we were friends- It never ends Your memories, they penetrate They're keeping me from sleeping Though I'm half-awake Believe you me, on my dying day I will still remember how we used to play all day I'm always here, my mind's astray My thoughts are clear, I can't complain Pretend you're near... to fool my brain Your memory's all that remains Of when we were friends- it never ends So vividly your words remain And keep me from believing that you've gone away My thoughts exposed- put on display Are keeping me from breathing now I can't escape There's no way
16.
I spent the night staring out of the window Spent the night with the cool winter air Spent the night in the sheets, kept the stars within reach Cause I know that you're out there somewhere I drove all night through the streets of the city Drove all night without worry or care Drove all night through the streets, kept the stars within reach Cause I know that you're out there somewhere Looking for me, guided by the stars Searching for me, oh girl, you can't be that far Away from me, hmmmmm, hmmmmm Oooh oooh, oooh oooh I walked all night to a beach near the ocean Walked all night through the cool, misty air Walked all night on the beach, kept the stars within reach Cause I know that you're out there somewhere Looking for me, guided by the stars Searching for me, oh girl, you can't be that far Away from me, hmmmmm, hmmmmm Oooh oooh, oooh oooh Baby we belong together like the waves and sunny weather every day Let's run away We'll live our lives on the beach near the ocean Live our lives without worry or care Live our lives on the beach, with the sand at our feet And the stars are all ours now to share- Just you and me, guided by the stars Perfect and free- I know you'll never go far Away from me I will never be the same now that I know That true love can never fade and you'll never go I will never be the same now that I know That true love can never fade and you'll never go I will never be the same now that I know That true love can never fade and you'll never go Away from me, away from me, away from me
17.
Just when I think she's out of reach She turns and looks right back at me And runs her fingers through her hair And makes eye-contact with me The sun, the rain, the joy, the pain The things that used to matter Just fade away- to shades of gray If I could only have her! I want you out of my head, in my bed You were oh so perfect There's nothing left to be said, in the end You were oh so worth it Now as I stare at earth from space Forgot my friends and all my things Everything I am belongs to you Please tell me what can I do? The sun, the rain, the joy, the pain The things that seemed like issues Just fade away, to shades of gray Each time I get to kiss you I want you out of my head, in my bed You were oh so perfect There's nothing left to be said, in the end You were oh so worth it Now and then, your photographs will take me back to when we had such simple hopes and fantasies I breathe you in, your scent will always bring be back again and now you're frozen in my memories I want you out of my head, in my bed You were oh so perfect There's nothing left to be said, in the end You were oh so worth it You were oh so perfect You were oh so perfect
18.
It feels like magic, but it's tragic what you do to me I'm so attached, you're like a magnet that's been glued to me You drive me crazy baby and you're so amazing maybe you were sent to save me, hey we oughtta go just take me back Home with you I really wanna be alone with you There's nothing else that I wanna do, it's true Oh baby take me back home with you I feel so broken, will you open up your heart to me There's no emotion till you're close and you're a part of me You drive me crazy baby and you're so amazing maybe you were sent to save me, hey we oughtta go just take me back Home with you I really wanna be alone with you There's nothing else that I wanna do, it's true Oh baby take me back home with you She must be plotting my defeat She's always got her eyes on me She's over educated, but she's under-medicated She's still the only one for me Oh baby take me back home with you I really wanna be alone with you There's nothing else that I wanna do, it's true Oh baby take me back home with you Oh baby take me back home with you I really wanna be alone with you There's nothing else that I'd rather do, it's true Oh baby take me back home with you
19.
My mirror's covered up with a picture of my face So there's nothing to reflect upon, and I can never age If ignorance is bliss, well then I should be okay Cause I've finally learned to feel again... but all I feel is so much pain I'll never love again, I'm so insane Please tell me what went wrong Apologies aren't real, so I'm sorry that I tried And weeping never helped a thing, so maybe I should cry If ignorance is bliss, well then I should be okay Cause I've finally learned to feel again but all I feel is so much pain I'll never love again I'm so insane When no one understands you can't complain And though I've tried so hard I can't explain Just what is going on They say that time will heal, and yet everybody dies While all the time left in the world just seems to pass us by If ignorance is bliss, well then I should be okay Cause I've finally learned to feel again but all I feel is so much pain I'll never love again I'm so insane When no one understands you can't complain And though I've tried so hard I can't explain Just what is going on
20.
Your love is radiation cause it makes me glow Then I get hot and shaky as I lose control And I can't figure out what to do Cause I just keep on burning for you ooh ooh I love you just the you were You're all I'd ask for in a girl ooh ooh ooh ooh Our distance is a cancer. As it starts to grow I start to feel so weak the further that you go When it seems like you're out of my reach Might as well just admit my defeat I love you just the way you were You're all I'd ask for in a girl Ooh ooh ooh ooh I'd go so far, baby, to be where you are Together we will beat the odds! Your love is like the music on your stereo It lifts you up, it soothes, or makes you lose control Put your favorite song on repeat And use that to get back on your feet I love you just the way you were You're all I'd ask for in a girl Ooh ooh ooh ooh (You're all I need) I love you just the way you were (You're all I need) You're all I'd ask for in a girl (I'm on my knees) Oh oh oh oh (You're all I need) Oh oh oh oh You're all I need
21.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh You close the door and I'll pretend to walk away Gets your attention- it's a game we like to play I'll tell you that I love you each and every day I'll even listen to you when you have something you wanna say But I don't have much to give you, my love But when you're down Know that you're all I'm thinkin' of And turn around- I'll be there Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh I'll shrug it off if you get mad and turn away Cause you're so cute when you get angry anyway Nobody's perfect and we prove it every day Let's go outside and watch the stars come out and wish it all away because I don't have much to give you, my love but when you're down Know that you're all I'm thinkin' of Turn around- I'll be there If twenty years from now we're stranded in the rain Just hold me closer- we'll romanticize the pain The people driving by will point and call us names And that's okay, it's who we are- we like to go against the grain And though I don't have much to give you, my love When you're down We'll watch the autumn leaves above- floating down Enchanted by the breeze they just dance around Such perfect memories for us all around Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
22.
When I am all yours and you are all mine Nothing can stop true love of this kind If I become deaf, and you become blind I'll read your lips as you read my mind Oh your love has got a hold on me But I can't let it show Cause you might try to set me free And I won't let you go With our white picket fence and our fancy machines We're living in the American dream The sky is so blue, the grass is so green But something's amiss, things just aren't as they seem Oh the wool was pulled right off of me But I can't let it show Cause they might try to bury me And I won't let it go As the world ends we'll go out to play And we'll just pretend it's a beautiful day With nothing to lose, no reason to pray I'll kiss your lips as it all blows away Oh your love has got a hold of me But I can't let it show Cause I have never felt so free And I won't let you go The world is falling down on me But I won't let it show Cause we have never been so free And I won't let you go I won't let you go I won't let you go
23.
Even when I asked you out, I could not believe you were next to me Couldn't help but shout it out, I had finally found my destiny And you held me tight, and I knew right then it would be alright Nothing matters when set to candlelight Thus began our romantic history And then soon we'd figure out that we won't work out quite so perfectly And we'll even scream and shout, it seems sad but love is so perplexing And our love is true, so I'll hold it in and I'll stick with you Nothing matters when you've been feeling blue Thus began our romantic mystery I can't escape the things you say to me You contemplate whether you'll stay or leave I cannot restrain this love for you Maybe next I'll choke you out, leave a gasoline puddle next to you Leave the candles burning out, as I cuddle up right there next to you And I'll hold you tight cause I love you so and I'll make things right I can't let you go- death by candlelight is the only way to escape this misery
24.
Skin as soft as rice paper, eyes as blue as light sabers What can I do? It's all for you Food and sleep are optional- you're all I need, you're optimal What can I do? It's all for you Feeling great- it's not too late I'm jealous, but I'll celebrate Cause even if you said to me that this is just a fantasy that's in my head- it's not to me, cause this is my reality, oh yeah I'll sick to you like fly paper, and follow you from death to birth But in reverse.- It's all for you And even when it's all over, I will write another verse to let you know it was all for you Feeling great- it's not too late I'm jealous, but I'll celebrate Cause even if you said to me that this is just a fantasy that's in my head- it's not to me, cause this is my reality, oh yeah And even when it's all over, I will write another verse to let you know it was all for you Feeling great- it's not too late I'm jealous, but I'll celebrate Cause even if you said to me that this is just a fantasy that's in my head-I won't agree- cause this is my reality, oh yeah
25.

Well I never thought about the different kinds of games All I saw was black and white and maybe shades of gray So I never though it through, now I'm here alone with you Never knew my breath could slip away But you take it from me (I've never played a game like this before Take it from me (don't know if I can take this anymore) Take it from me (I've got myself to blame) Take it from me (I can't control the game because you take it from me) Well I never thought about the saddest kinds of moods Now I can't see black or white, just different shades of blue Moving on is giving in, but my soul is wearing thin Thought I'd have a life to hold onto But you take it from me (I've never met a girl like you before) Take it from me (Don't know if I can take this anymore) Take it from me (I've got myself to blame) Take it from me (I drive myself insane) So just take it from me Now that we've had the chance to think about our past at last and we Can dance with our romance in tact, that's how I know we're gonna be Together side by side, I'm part of you, you're part of me and I Don't need a heart that beats, it's yours to keep, so just take it from me Take it from me Now we play along in our Symphony of the Night While our Final Fantasy provides our guiding light And we Link it to the Past, seeing through Majora's Mask Memories to which I hold on tight Because you take it from me (I've never met a girl like you before) Take it from me( Don't know if I can take this anymore) Take it from me (I've got myself to blame) Take it from me (I'm lost inside your game, I can't explain what's happening) Take it from me (Afraid you're gonna leave) Take it from me (This can't be happening) Take it from me (Cause all that's left of me) (You're gonna take it from me)

In My Arms 03:14
Now and then I pretend that you and I might be friends When in reality love has grabbed hold of me Wish I could just find a way To walk up to you and say, hey yay yay I just met you- but I need to hold you In my arms all night and day I confess that I'm a mess since the first time we met Fate's divine plans align cause here I am by your side Wish I could just find a way To walk up to you and say, hey yay yay I just met you- but I need to hold you In my arms all night and day, night and day, hey yay yay I opened up my mouth to say the words I practiced every day But what came out was not the same, I'm so in love But what I didn't realize was when I looked into your eyes I'd be completely paralyzed and so in love Wish I could just find a way To walk up to you and say, hey yay yay I just met you- but I need to hold you In my arms all night and day In my arms all night and day In my arms all night and day

You know how you feel sometimes when you're walking outside And the sun on your face makes you feel so alive But you can't quite explain why you're buried alive by your pain Then maybe you feel just like you're on top of the world Like the time that you first met the guy or the girl Of your dreams but it seems that they're taken now what can you say? You just can't turn away Then maybe you feel so down like you're ready to cry With a smile on your face, but a tear in your eye And it feels like you won't but you know that you're gonna survive You're not moving on this time, you'll be staying behind Cause you know in your heart that they're one of a kind Sometimes fate can be great if you know that they're worth your time You grit your teeth and try It's hard to explain what's on your mind What's keepin' you down, what's keeping you alive They don't understand, they probably don't care They don't even notice if you're even there But somehow they're still right by your side Grit your teeth and try Then later you feel let down and you're ready to go Like you're driving to work, but you're stuck in the snow So it feels like the harder you work then the harder you'll cry Then somehow it feels just like you've been drifting apart Like the front of the line moves you back to the start Like a dream, you can run, you can scream but you just can't hide You wanna turn that wheel and slide It's hard to explain what's on your mind What's keepin' you down, what's keeping you alive They don't understand, they probably don't care They don't even notice the clothes that you wear But somehow they're still right by your side (It's hard to explain what's on your mind) I just can't explain what's on my mind (It's hard to explain what's on your mind) What I once was is trapped inside (It's hard to explain what's on your mind) I can't escape so I'll just hide (It's hard to explain what's on your mind) My youthful innocence has died

When I was just a boy there was this girl who lived down the street I'd walk her home from school, she'd hold my hand, we were so happy We'd stick together, she was perfect, someday we'd be married But then that moving truck just took her from me! Then we were far away, she's the one I adored She was just within reach, but she's not anymore So we said our goodbyes and she hung up the phone We were sad, and we cried, we were young and alone Then when I was a teen, I met this girl with golden blond hair I'd pick her flowers, give her candy, follow her everywhere She was in love, she was just perfect, but something was missing She just was not that girl from my memories So I was far away, though I was in her arms Never could dedicate, didn't mean any harm So we said our goodbyes, and I hung up the phone We were sad, and we cried, we were young and alone One day on FaceBook, "People You May Know" She just appeared, I had to go And take a peek at her new life She looked so happy as a wife This lucky guy would never know About that boy from years ago Who can't move on, who won't let go Request was sent, but she said no! Now that I'm all grown up, the smoke has cleared, I have my own place My friends have all moved on, they're married with a smile on their face I'm still that boy who lived next door, and I'm still stuck on that girl I stay cooped up inside, and hide from this world Because I'd feel so bad if I hurt anyone And I feel insincere, I don't have any fun So I said my goodbyes, and I turned off my phone See what fate has in store, till I'm old and alone

I smile and nod my head to try to hide the truth You're unbelievable but I believe in you You told me, you're lonely- I would die for you I hope you never feel the pain I hide inside from you My mind is gone- it's followed you You belong with me and I belong to you Pain is but a distant memory Locked within this very melody I wrote for you Behind expression lies the avenues of truth Emotion's trivial- I simply have to choose Believe me- I'm leaving- You would say to me I want to make you feel the pain I hide inside of me My mind is gone- it's followed you You moved on and left me locked in solitude Pain was once a distant memory My facade is crashing down on me since I lost you Belief is nothing but opinion wed to faith But then what happens when they start to separate? Believe me- Deceive me- She would beg of me I know you'll never feel the pain that's lost inside of me My mind is gone- it's followed you You moved on and left me locked in solitude Pain was once a distant memory My facade is crashing down on me since I lost you

Alaina 03:09
I met you on that wedding day I didn't know quite what I should say I asked around and got your name That friend request came that same day Alaina don't run from me I am here, I'm your friend, have fun with me Oh Alaina don't go to sleep Message me all night long and tell me everything And then you found me at the show Talked for a while, but I didn't know If I should ask you on a date Then we both went our separate ways Alaina don't run from me I am here, I'm your friend, have fun with me Oh Alaina don't go to sleep Message me all night long and tell me everything And we've both got nothing to prove, oh no Cause we've both got nothing to lose, at all Sometimes I feel lonely and sad, oh no When you're around it's not so bad, oh yeah! Alaina don't run from me I am here, I'm your friend, have fun with me Oh Alaina don't fall asleep Message me all night long and tell me everything Alaina don't run from me I am here, I'm your friend, have fun with me Oh Alaina don't go to sleep Message me we can talk about anything (everything, everythng, everything, anything)

You told me only what you wanted me to know and I understood You knew I would I told you everything that you wanted to know oh oh oh But if I look in your eyes will I see through all of your lies All I know is what you tell me, so Is there nothing I can say that would make you want to stay any longer? Is there any reason why you can't look me in the eye as you drive away? You know you've got me when you turn to walk away and I follow you What can I do I know you love me when you call me every day, oh oh oh But when you look up and smile, then I know it's all worthwhile All I hope is that you love me, so... Is there nothing I can say that would make you want to stay any longer? Is there any reason why you can't look me in the eye as you drive away? Is there nothing I can say that would make you want to stay any longer? Is there any reason why when you leave I wanna die oh so badly? Yeah And I do not approve of this because I'm not alone with you. Is there nothing I can say that would make you want to stay any longer? Is there any reason why you can't look me in the eye as you drive away? Is there nothing I can say that would make you want to stay any longer? Is there any reason why when you leave I wanna die oh so badly? I wanna die

Forget the time Commit the crime It's not about the reasons It's about the rhyme You're in my head Until I'm dead I'd like to make you mine And die with no regrets Oh lazy gods above Pretend you care for once Take back this gift you gave me And just save your son Remember when We used to grin Now I just slap a smile on Fake it and pretend Oh lazy gods above Pretend you're there for once Take back this gift you gave me And just save your son Hmm hmm hmm hmm Hmm hmm hmm Hmm hmm hmm hmmm Forget the time Commit the crime It's not about the reasons It's about the rhyme Oh lazy gods above Pretend you care for once Take back this gift you gave me And just save your son Just save your song Take back this gift you gave me And just save your son

about

Daniel Eischeid Edmond, Oklahoma

Nirvana, Weezer, Ozma influenced, melodic, power pop-rock music. Strong melodies, hooks, and good harmony-driven rock. My personal acoustic demos I record on the spot, to give to my band (Starry Skies) to work up drum and bass and guitar tracks for. Some make it to our band's lineup, some don't. They sound very different when finished. Now, full band (solo) demos as well! Please enjoy. ... more
