Verse 1
Hear me screaming inside.
Let go feel so alive.
Pre-Chorus 1
So break me.
Let me hold you again, I’m reaching out.
So wake me.
Let me touch you again, it’s all in my mind.
Chorus
Pick me up when I’m knocked down and I’ll always get up, get up.
Let it burn keep it coming around, see the fire in your eyes.
Pick me up when I’m on the ground. Never gonna give it up, give it up. Keep moving in a straight line.
It takes me higher.
Verse 2
Leave me with these lies.
Lose it all, nothing more to find.
Pre-Chorus 2
In my mind…

How do you know when it’s coming ‘round How do you know when you’re on the ground How do you know when it’s coming ‘round How do you know when you’re on the ground How do you know when it’s coming ‘round How do you know when you’re on the ground How do you know when it’s coming ‘round Knocked down, down.
Keep it coming ‘round.

Verse 1
Meet me down by the river where the wind blows through the dark.
Wish that we could stay here while we look up at the stars.
Pre-Chorus 1
When the words ain’t enough to keep me from missing you.
When I know that you’re the one that’s with me when I lose.
Chorus
So, leave the lights on for me.
Miss me when I’m gone.
I’ll hold my breath so you can breathe.
I won’t call you on the telephone.
Go our separate ways with our mistakes.
We can make this on our own.
So leave the lights on for me.
It’s time to let you go.
Let you go.
Verse 2
Meet me down by the train line where I’ll always be waiting.
Two strangers lost on the inside and the final stop is hearts breaking.
Pre-Chorus 2
If I call your name, make damn sure I scream it loud.
If time can heal the pain, when does this clock run out.

Verse 1
Set my sights to nowhere.
Shed some light on the only road that knows how to bring you down.
Verse 2
Trade your life to get there.
The train arrives and it has a need to hold,
then throw you off that cloud.
Chorus
So free…
for a little while. And you call…
Until your voice gives out.
You’re still on the run, chasing the sun in these final hours.
So free…
for a little while.
Verse 3
World that spins around you.
No-one that is there to take the stage,
the curtain finally falls.
Verse 4
Pure thoughts that you once knew.
Need a certain someone to carry the weight, Someone to catch the ball when you fall.
Bridge
Bring back the fight that lives in you.
Just breathe that winter air.
Sometimes to win you’ve got to lose
over and over again and again, yeah.

Verse 1
So let me tell you about some people in the world who live their lives with fallen doubt.
Put yourself in these cold hard shoes.
Now if you just hear me out, just a second of your time that I’ll make worthwhile.
and I promise I won’t set aside the truth.
Verse 2
Let us start with a girl
whose lover always seems to take control
and how he’s always got something to prove.
He believes that with a rising hand
he’ll get what he wants and make her understand
and now she’s tired of playing the fool.
Chorus
And she says,
this is not the life for me, if I could change it back She says,
close my eyes and count to three ‘cause that’s all I have She says…..
As she looks up to the sky, she wonders how time can fly and that she’ll wake up from this dream.
Verse 3
So we move along to a man
who feels that he don’t belong
and how he doesn’t have a thing to lose.
With a tiny pill that he takes today
to forget his troubles and wish the pain away because tomorrow won’t be there when he’s through.
Chorus 2
And he says,
Just one more to fill that need, if I could change it back He says,
Just one cold memory because that’s all I have.
He says………
He looks through bloodshot eyes and he wonders if he’ll make this night and if he’ll wake up from this dream.
Verse 4
As we’re coming to the end
let’s focus on a kid who likes to play pretend,
not knowing how to deal with the kids so cruel.
So he takes his gun, with a thought out plan
he runs downtown just as fast as he can,
he reloads it and empties it at a private school.
Chorus
And he said,
If only I’d disagreed I could change it back.
He said,
what will be will be and that’s all I have.
He says………
As he falls down to his knees he can’t take it back.
He says……..
They’ll throw away the key and that’s all he’ll have.
He says……….
He’s left with no goodbyes and he thinks if it’s in his mind
that he’ll wake up from this dream.

Verse 1
It’s not easy to mend this broken defence. Through a whisper and I’m calling your name. I try and pretend when this bottle’s my friend, that everything’s okay
Pre-Chorus
So empty handed.
No roses on your wedding day.
Just leave me stranded.
It’s just a lifetime that I have to wait.
Chorus
And your light will not fade, burning the way And just as long as I can feel the flame.
No one can take your place in life.
Your wings to bright they make every season change.

It’s you I believe, you’re all I want to be and I never want to wake up.

The slate’s clean.
I’ll start over.
You’ll always be my shining star.

Verse 1
If we meet again someday my friend, hope that you can find yourself.
Makes no sense, you can’t pretend, you end up finding someone else.
Pre-Chorus
Heart of stone.
Far from home.
Nowhere to go.
Think you’ll make it out alive.
Chorus
And everyday that goes by. So you break on the inside. Just to take one life.
And you know it’ll be alright, it’s going to be alright.
Verse 2
Get back on track, hope that you can see this through.
Nothing lasts when it goes too fast, you end up falling way to soon.
Pre-Chorus 2
It’s not what you see.
It’s the life you lead.
And the lies you feed.
Know you’ll make it out alive.

Verse 1
Pull back the curtain to a world still searching. It’s trying to take the wheel of need.
Don’t think it’s working, no strength to keep turning, just give it one second to breathe.
Verse 2
All these affections have their own directions It leaves you frozen to the bone.
Make a suggestion but forget to mention It’s easy when you’re on your own.
Pre chorus
Hold on to yourself.
Sometimes it’s so contagious.
Hold on to yourself.
Sometimes...
Chorus
It’s not that simple.
It’s never greener on the other side. And who said that it was simple?
They’re just the ones who get left behind We don’t follow the rules we make. Forgotten how to play the game.
It’s not that simple.
It’s never in black and white.
Verse 3
Throw these problems across the table and bury them deep inside.
Don’t try and solve them,
box it with a label until it eats you alive.
Pre-Chorus 2
It’s strange as hell.
Sometimes it’s so outrageous.
It’s strange as hell.
Sometimes...
Bridge
You’re like a stone
to carry this weight on your shoulders.
You take it slow,
but somehow you’re moving faster.
Outro Chorus
We don’t follow the rules we make.
Forgotten how to play the game.
And who said that it was simple?
It’s never in black and white.

Verse 1
Beneath this photograph I lost myself today.
It makes this haunted past spin like a hurricane.
Pre-Chorus
So long, so long to bridges made.
We all want to win this race.
Verse 2
Infatuation is a constant crave, it makes you go insane.
Imagination that feeds you change, but always taste the same.
Pre-Chorus 2
Wrong side, wrong side that takes control.
You can’t fight what’s in your soul.
Chorus
Just another thought that cuts you up in your mind Just another breath that you can’t take.
Just another smile that hits you on the inside Just another habit that’s hard to break. That’s just the way it goes.
Just the way it goes
The Way It Goes
Verse 3
Slow misconceptions that speed up fast down this long highway.
Stranger than fiction when the moments passed and all that’s left is blame.
Pre-Chorus 3
Rules burn, rules burn with cigarettes.
Smoke turns into regrets.
Bridge
Right back to the start.
It’s closer but far.
Together apart.
Hands shake it’s too late.
Chorus 3
Just another thought that cuts you up in your mind Just another breath that you can’t…take.
Just another smile that hits you on the inside Just another habit that’s hard to break.
Just another space between the holes through strange times Just another flaw that’s hard to see.
Just another voice that tells your heart it’s alright.
Just another lie that you believe.
Just the way it goes.(x3)

Make Me Believe

Verse 1
The roads that we cross, to the time that is lost, carries on like the breaking of the sea.
Words with no sound, when they don’t fit our mouths, keep going around, coming endlessly.
Pre-Chorus
It’s all the same.
And all that’s made can be undone.
These reckless games.
Chorus
Give me a reason
so I can see the light in your eyes.
Make me believe in you
so I can feel the fight when you smile.
Verse 2
Shaking voices become so pointless, this broken noise takes us to the place where we lay down our lies on the ground,
from lost to found, hold on for one more day.
Breaking skin shows wounds within that move onto the outside.
Breakdown
Make me believe!!

Verse 1
Recall a time that is real, guess that some things change.
On the inside it feels like everything’s gone to waste. Trying to pick up the pieces of something that breaks.
Hide the things you believe in, chase these memories away.
Pre-Chorus
I can’t hold on it’s getting harder to breathe.
The hate in you lives inside of me.
Chorus
So you lie to yourself,
Pretend that everything’s okay.
You rely on yourself,
Pretend that you’re not ashamed.
Verse 2
Every time that you say this, it’s my strength that you take.
Was there something that I missed when you made your mistake.
Now you’ve made up your mind to go your own way.
Nothing left to depend on, broken words that remain.
Breakdown
Recall a time that was real.
Guess that nothing will change.
On the inside it feels like these years have gone to waste.

Verse 1
If I was by your side
and I had a better reason to say goodbye, I hope I’ll will find a way
to leave behind this life that I believe in and realise and forget that you were here.
You're not here…….
Verse 2
If I could make you see
and tell you what I’m thinking and let this be, I know I’ll find a way
And all I need is a moment to keep forever. This part of me will forget that you were here.
You're not here……..
Chorus
Far away, you take the best of me.
Gone away, I will remember you always, you take what’s left of me.
See your face even though you’re far away.
Verse 3
If I could take the time
and find a better meaning that’s in those eyes, still hoping to find a way,
but these hands are tied and it feels like I’m dreaming And now I try and forget that you were here.
You’re not here…………..

Wish I could say
Things that I should have said
Wish I could stay
To lift you up, yeah…

Chorus
We get a little strange.
We get a little crazy.
A little out of place.
We can lose ourselves.
We feel a little pain.
We get a little angry.
A little further closer to lonely.
Verse 1
Maybe there’s something on my mind, where every time.
And I know that it’s not right to take your side.
Verse 2
Maybe I have been here before, where I want more.
And I know I’m keeping the score. I can’t win this war.
Pre-Chorus
You won’t get me off this ride.
You won’t lead the way tonight.
Verse 3
Maybe it’s always been this way, where I count the days.
And as I lie awake, the world escapes.
Verse 4
Maybe nothing’s what it seems, where I don’t believe.
And I know it starts with me, but I can’t break fre

Verse 1
Hey man, I got a plan now.
I know it’s too late, but this time it’s gonna work out and I hope you’ll find your way.
Hey man, I can’t wait now.
I know I’m to blame, but
this time it’s gonna play
out and I hope you’ll stay
the same.
Chorus
’Cause nothing changes.
No one can take this.
Here I stand.
I’m not saying goodbye.
I’m just trying to find who I am.
Things that I said, still in my head and are kept here inside.
‘Cause nothing changes.
Memories take me back to where I used to be
Verse 2
Hey man, what to say
now.
Nowhere to begin, but this time I’ll make it worth
While and I’ll keep it safe within.
Hey man, why so sad
Now.
Nothing left to give, but this time I’ll make it
Somehow and I’ll breathe this life right in.
Bridge
Won’t forget what I’ve left behind
and I know if I don’t survive.
I’ll end up here once again this time.
Hang on, just hang on now
