First Love
02:44

Take me to Lethe
Help me forget
The price I paid for things confessed
Was I wrong to care?
I can't tell
If I would do it again
Was it worth the pain I'm left with
Help me, oh help me forget
We both feel too much
We don't talk enough
We both feel too much
We don't talk enough

Fire

You wrote about stars in my eyes
I sang of stars on your skin
The holy man was right
Our ending was so violent
I've fallen in your river
But I still know how to swim
I couldn't be what you wanted me to be
CHORUS
I need you the way a book needs fire,
If you're gonna guilt me, don't bother,
I need you the way a book needs fire,
If you're gonna miss me, spare me the honor
I need you the way
A book needs fire,
You'll have to try harder to kill me oh
You'll have to try harder to kill me
Remember how you said
You're the best I'll ever have?
Hate to break it to you babe
I don't need you to make my way
I don't regret leaving you
You'll move on; you always do
You weren't the only one good to me
CHORUS
When I told you
I loved you
I wasn't lying
I would've given you everything
B maybe love to you meant different things
All fairy tales have to end
When you forget your fairy tale was tinted pink
So all the flags look the same
CHORUS

Second Year
03:40
|

|
I wish I could be like you
Tell me everything that I need to do
To become like you
I know I'm moving on but it's not good enough
That knock on my door
Is still there sometimes, I don't wonder why
I found meaning here with you
and I don't need these lines, I don't need these lines
PRECHORUS
I can see the road ahead
In my dream I thought that I was dead
What if I could get a second chance
This could be my second chance
CHORUS x 2
All it took was a week and a dream
The best is yet to come
I've finally found meaning
And I know I'm needed
And I don't need these lines anymore
When I said you changed my life
I meant it all the way, no counting down the days
That July morning
Nothing was the same, I was not the same
That knock on my door
Is still there sometimes, I don't wonder why
I found meaning here with you
and I don't need these lines, I don't need these lines
PRECHORUS
CHORUS x 2

La Petite Mort
02:44
|
|||
|
Take my body
Consume me on this altar
Drink my blood
That pours out from this heart
Break my gates
I'll confess you all my sins
Bless my skin
Kiss me to salvation
Fill my hunger
O fairest of creation
Take my body
The daughter of all that's holy

Golden Eyes
04:01
|
|||
|
I thought you had long since given up on me, up on me
I wouldn't have blamed you for that, it took me too long to see
I should've known that she was trouble and we were meant to be
Who would've thought you'd wait for me
CHORUS
I wanna write the best song I've ever written
And dedicate it to you
Didn't believe in love until I had you
I know you feel it too
Now I love the way you smell like home
When you're holding me
And the gold in your eyes disappear
When you look at me
When you're holding me
I was scared of endings so I never started anything
Every day with you is one to celebrate, celebrate
Was halfway through a song to be called "the one who got away"
Now every night I'm wishin' you could stay
CHORUS
I can't promise you forever, but at least I can swear
When you wake tomorrow —
I can't promise you forever, but at least I can swear
When you wake tomorrow, I'll be there
CHORUS

Secrets
03:50
|
|||
|
She asked me to kiss her
But she doesn't kiss and tell
So where does this leave us
I thought I knew her well so
That's how it begins
"I'll give you my number
If you promise you'll never call"
She said as she left she
Never stays for long so
That's how it begins
PRECHORUS
When the days get longer
And I wanna offer
You to stay for dinner
You know
What I'm thinking do you know?
CHORUS
I'm so tired of going through the motions
Spilling all my secrets
Waiting for something to change
Gimme all your secrets
Don't know where to keep them
Maybe we'll do this again again again
I wish I could call her bluff
And know what she's thinking of
Maybe the truth is
I never knew her at all
Here we go again
I say I don't need no one
to hold me en l'hiver
I dye my hair so you'd
Have a reason to stare
Here we go again
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
And I, I don't know why
I find myself
Still thinking of you
And I, I wonder why
I tell myself
I'm better off without you
CHORUS

I'll See You Again
02:48
|
|||
|
We're going too fast
But don't you look back
You gave me your time
And I gave you mine
I'll see you again
This isn't the end
We're going too fast
But don't you look back
We had so much time
We spent it alright
I'll see you again
But till then my friend
this isn't the end
CHORUS
And I'll miss you, I'll miss you
But life must go on
I'll give you my best
And I'll never forget about you
I know we'll remember all that we had together
Now I'm off alone
I needed to go
They hung in the air
The words left unsaid
I'll see you again
This isn't the end
Now I'm back alone
We needed to go
Feels strange to be back
To old haunts from then
I'll see you again
But till then my friend
This isn't the end
CHORUS

Shot in the Dark
03:59
|
|||
|
You know
Forever is a lie
Believe you me I've tried
To break the code, I know
I've spent too many hours
Tryna shield my heart
From getting broken
PRECHORUS
There's nothing we can do
There's nothing left to lose
If the sun comes out tomorrow
Maybe I will see you
CHORUS
Good things go but so do the bad
Took me way too long to learn that
We'll ride it out and wait for better
Things to come our way
For now let's seize the day
I'll pick you up at eight
I know
You've been hurt before
I know that feeling of
Such heartbreak, oh you know
It's hard to trust again
But all things have to end
So we'll let them go
PRECHORUS
CHORUS
There's nothing we can do
There's nothing left to lose
Who knows what tomorrow will hold?
CHORUS

Picking Up the Pieces

Picking up the pieces
Seeing where they fit in
Picking up the pieces
Seeing where they fit in
Picking up the pieces
Seeing where they fit in
Picking up the pieces
Seeing where they fit -
VERSE
Sometimes I think I
Hate you but I couldn't bear to say it
Always conflicted
Most times I know I
Love you but you don't make it easy
To just be me
CHORUS
And truth be told
I still don't know
Why you make it so hard
For such a big part of me
They say it gets better
For some, but not others
Do you even want me
Or just your idea of me?
Your idea of me
VERSE
CHORUS
Picking up the pieces
Seeing where they fit in
Picking up the pieces
Seeing where they fit in
Picking up the pieces
Seeing where they fit in
Picking up the pieces
Seeing where they fit in
I'm coming home
If you'll take me home

Third Time's the Charm
03:28
|
|||
|
Third time's the charm
Even though it won't last
I've fallen hard
But never as fast
CHORUS
And I think
This is something I can believe in
Embracing the fact that
Nothing can last yet
Throwing myself in anyway
I'll deal with the end all the same
Give me a chance
To play a new part
All this to say
I'll give you my heart
CHORUS
And every time
I think that I
Am going crazy
I close my eyes
And think that I
Should stop trying
Someone else
Comes along
CHORUS
