Waking Up

I’m pushing stakes into the shallow ground
I’m missing everything to dig the holes again
When clouds roll over and the rain comes down
There’s no maintaining this, I won’t be found
And maybe I’m crazy but I’ve seen a lot of things
And killed a lot of dreams
And I’ve been thinking lately
That I’m getting buried underneath the things I’m tryin’ to be
But now I’m waking up
There’s not a fear that I couldn’t shake And I can see that light
I can see that light
And now I’m breaking up
There’s not a tear I’ve called a mistake And I can see that light
I can see that light
I’m looking up and I cannot look down
I know the thing to do but I can’t see it through When everybody’s finding common ground
I’m sinking underneath, let me be found
And maybe I’m crazy but I,
I’ve seen the purest hearts be maimed and ripped apart And I’ve been thinking lately
That picking up the pieces might be harder than it seems
But now I’m waking up
There’s not a fear that I couldn’t shake And I can see that light
I can see that light
And now I’m breaking up
There’s not a tear I’ve called a mistake And I can see that light
I can see that light

Somebody's Everything

Just looking in your eyes
I see the fire I supply
And though your body kept me ‘round I am afraid that fire’s out
You’ve got me kickin’ and screamin’ And runnin’ for the door
You’ve got me lyin’ and cryin’
But begging you for more Infatuated, fixated
But tired of keepin’ score I’m sick of losin’,
confusin’ All this for something more
I didn’t wanna hurt ya
Baby, I just wanted you to see
That you can’t be, no you can’t be
You can’t be everything to me
I’ve got better things to do than watch you wastin’ all your time
Cause you can be somebody’s everything
But you just can’t be mine
Everybody saw it from the start
That you’d be careless with my heart And though your beauty kept me drawn
We’ve been dyin’ for too long
You’ve got me kickin’ and screamin’ And runnin’ for the door
You’ve got me lyin’ and cryin’
But begging you for more Infatuated, fixated
But tired of keepin’ score I’m sick of losin’, confusin’ All this for something more
I didn’t wanna hurt ya
Baby, I just wanted you to see
That you can’t be, no you can’t be
You can’t be everything to me
I’ve got better things to do than watch you wastin’ all your time
Cause you can be somebody’s everything
But you just can’t be mine

I can tell it’s over
You can see it’s done
I’ll take the over/under
And I’m not the only one
I gave you all my heart
I took it back to the start
I made a way for you where there once was none
And this is the hardest part
But your life has just begun
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it
When all this ends, the world will begin again
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it
When all this ends, the world will begin again
With the past before you, you’ll never be truly free
Oh, you think you’ve figured out
You beat it into the ground
You’ve made a hell for yourself in the heaven that you made with me
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it
When all this ends, the world will begin again
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it
When all this ends, the world will begin again
You say you’ll never find the magic that you had when there was us
But you’re having delusions again, love
Don’t make it harder than it has to be
There’s no comfort in the fantasy
The truth will be found in the pain, love
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it, feel it
Don’t cope, you gotta feel it
When all this ends, the world will begin again

Hope

Is your heart an empty room?
Where the thoughts just stay inside of you
They’re so deep down and you’ve everything to prove
It’s like you left the iron on
And the fire spread out on the lawn
The grass goes green to black and everything you know is gone
Well I promise there is hope for you
There is hope for you
I know everything feels cold and bruised
But there’s hope for you
You don’t have to be ashamed
To be the one that you’ve been made
Your heart it grieves while you cover up the pain
And I know how it feels to care
In a world with no more dreams to spare
When your prayers evaporate into the air
Well I promise there is hope for you
There is hope for you
I know everything feels cold and bruised
But there’s hope for you
When everything you know is lost
And the love you had is all but gone
Hold on, hold on

Leap of Faith

The funniest thing just happened to me
I opened my mouth and I knew how to sing
I’d never felt so free
But the timing it seemed was impeccable
Because all that I saw was you waiting on the corner for me
And I can finally see
But now I feel we’re right on time
And even if the floor is sinking
My heart will not be shaken
And even if the sky comes crashing
This song will not catch wind of it
I’ll sing it out, I’ll sing
The simplest thing just kept me awake
My mind grabbed my heart and took a leap of faith
Some things just can’t wait
The tiniest thing just put me to sleep
It was a version of you that I knew I could keep
And I could finally see
But now I feel we’re right on time
And even if the floor is sinking
My heart will not be shaken
And even if the sky comes crashing
This song will not catch wind of it
I’ll sing it out, I’ll sing
And I need to feel alive Cause we only have one life
The funniest thing just happened to me
I opened my mouth and I knew how to sing
And I am finally free
And even if the floor is sinking
My heart will not be shaken
And even if the sky comes crashing
This song will not catch wind of it
I’ll sing it out, I’ll sing
