We got guys lying down who are dying just to know... N we got some standing tall who are waiting just to fall... So enjoy what you got, try and hold it til it's gone... Because the guys lying down, they are dying just to know. I had a friend in the sky he was smiling bro to bro... But like friends anywhere he had tales never told... And a glimpse could be all you might need, you can tell... That my friend in the sky, yeah his smile was just for show... Just for show... Just for show... Just for show

Grow Back 06:16
Show me how the end goes, show me what it's like (show) Or you can or you can't know (know) Could be too dreamy, could be way too real (show) But it's funner to wonder (than to know) How long can you go on til you burn And how long must a man live til he learns To be sweet on the way to the top You see the same things on your way down How long can you go on til you're out Grow back better than it was If you're on the outside, don't even look in (don't) You could want what you're missing (or you won't) Appreciate walking until you see someone fly (fly) Or shut down easier on your way out, is that right? (is it right?) So, how long did you go on til you burned? And how long must this man live til he learns? If you show me how the end comes, then the days can be a delight But how long will you go on? how long will you go on? How long can you go on? just show me how the end comes Grow back. know that. Grow back better than it was, better than it's been before Know that. like you never knew you could. because you never did before. Wanna grow back better than it was, better than it's been before To know that. like you never knew it could. Because you never did before Because you never did before

Brace your heart. Save your love. Start saving now, while you still can. Save your heart. Make it right wile you're still young. You still can. You still can. Save your love, dont slip away. Save your love, dont go away....

Wrong Enough 04:22
When in doubt, just stay a while, enjoy, and restart... And watch it build, and burst apart like a bomb in the heart. Sure, some things are clear now, but for what? It's innocent, it's justified, it's right. They're difficult just as things to define. So, you're comfy now, but dangerously so. Oh, you aim so low just to want to survive. Until it feels wrong enough, we will continue to wander along... But if wrong means that there's nothing left in you, do you continue to roam? Thinking "get there. get there" It's a dangerous way to live a life... A quiet life, until you quietly die. You're empty now, unbelievably so... Still, you carry on... Just a need to survive.

Easier 06:00
It's easier not to speak It's easier not to move at all, i know You get tired of waiting, like there's something to prove It's easier not to trust It's better if you can go it all alone Just a passenger on this ride, you hope the driver is smooth But there's so much more you can do It's taking so long to find you now It's easier not to love It's easier not to care at all, i know You're tired of sitting here waiting like a prospect ready to move, Bc there's so much more you can do Faking so big a smile, you pal It starts hurting your face It's taken so long to find it now, and you don't know what to say, But it's written right on your face It's easier not speak It's easier not to move at all, I know You get tired of waiting You got so much more you can do It's easier not to love It's easier not to care at all, i know So why do you wait here? When there's so much more you can do You got so much more you can do There's just so much more you can do So much more you can do

Battle 04:15
Lay down, lay down, the battle of the lovers Like to leave your shell for a while. It's truly cold and maybe dying. Asking things like "who's she?" and "what is she like?" Like it's all that ya got. What do ya find? Lay down, lay down, the battle of the lovers Sooner or later, the thrill starts to die... So what is yours and what is mine? Do you remember the days when you wondered what I was like? Well, I guess now you've found out. So, do you like? Lay down, lay down, the battle of the lovers Lay down n stay down

Breathe Deep 03:27
Lay down, and breathe deep. I love you more than you can believe... And when you dream, my cub, you'll spread wings, and soar above all these little things Lalalalala Now life just seems complete... However long you long for the warm and the calm. Ii used to dream of this, and now it's real. It never stops, and why should we? Lalalalala

Enough Wrong 04:24
It's the last thing that you'd ever show... But it's really eating at you, we know... Well is there some place that you'd like to go? Like the heartland as you've named it so. This is the only thing that seems real now... And you can't expect to just slow down. How would you like to stay here forever? You could see heaven and never remember how to get hurt Well, it's the last thing that you'd ever show... Just a touch that fits like a home... Bt where else would you ever go? To just hum and dream and roam... How would you like to keep it forever? You could see heaven and never remember. Being, it doesn't even seem real now. Nothing can keep it together when love's gone, so just move on. It's enough wrong to just move on...

It would be easy just to go, pull over off this shaky road... But you never really know. People say talking about the love helps you remember how it was, But it never really does. Maybe it's better not to love. Let it go down like setting sun. Turn that part of your heart off. Move on with that new life at once. Maybe there is a piece that comes out, And gets you on with your life. You can hold on to youth so tight that you can squeeze out all the life. Get a grip that fits you right. Then you say running with the youth, it keeps you in your place, it's true, But you never truly do. It would be easy just to go, pull over off this bumpy road. N turn that part of your heart off. Move on with that new life at once. Maybe there is a piece that comes out, and gets you on with your life. Turn that part of your life off. Move on with that new heart, just go. Maybe there is a part that shuts down, and gets you on with your life... A head start on that... Move on with that new life... It gets you on with your life.. A head start on that new life......... Maybe there is a part that shuts down..........
