Sit and Wait
Once you learn to love someone
You never can quite forget.
The way they feel in your hands
The marks they leave on your heart
Silent words are passed between
By way of looks and breathing
Everything I understood
It’s hard to know that it’s gone
So I sit and wait
I just sit and wait.
Why do I sit and wait?
No ones coming home.
Memories that haunt your nights
And lengthen all of your days.
Pictures strewn on the table
Smiles that have long since left.
No letter left at my door
No goodbye no parting words....
You never can quite forget.
The way they feel in your hands
The marks they leave on your heart
Silent words are passed between
By way of looks and breathing
Everything I understood
It’s hard to know that it’s gone
So I sit and wait
I just sit and wait.
Why do I sit and wait?
No ones coming home.
Memories that haunt your nights
And lengthen all of your days.
Pictures strewn on the table
Smiles that have long since left.
No letter left at my door
No goodbye no parting words....

Umbrella
Everything's okay now
Too bad that's a lie.
I try to feel better
but I've got a cloudy sky.
Maybe it's my fault
if there is any blame.
I don't want the high road
I'll swim in my own rain.
Let me fall down
Let me break apart.
I need to cry
I need to hurt
so I can put back together
back together my heart.
I know you want to help me
and I find it quite sweet.
But I can't let someone else
fill the cracks in my street.
So if I turn away
don't let it cut too deep
I'll tie my own shoes
and be...

Dear John
Dear John, sounds too formal
for someone so familiar
I think I'd know your face in the dark.
Sometimes I think we're just too close
to ever be close enough
but sometimes I think
maybe times are just tough.
I can't deny my mind wonders
what is held outside of our door.
It's hard to make a move when
I don't know what I'm looking for.
Not like I used too
when I knew it was you.
And I know you have to see it
in the way I touch your skin.
there's no way, you don't feel it
when I slip away again.
I'm not one to clean a...

I can't deny my mind wonders

It's hard to make a move when
I don't know what I'm looking for.
Not like I used too

And I know you have to see it

Deadly
kill me baby
looks are deadly
put me down now
let me go free
hands that are bound
behind my back
this is not love
it's an attack
and i count down
down from eleven
I only get
down to seven
lips crash on me
hands on my skin
you are wanting
will be let in
I don't move on
I stay so still
you win today
and always will.
hurt me baby
you do so well
like an angel
but sent from hell
you're convincing
speak so surely
I can't take it
I'm so lonely
isolate me
I won't fare well...
looks are deadly
put me down now
let me go free
hands that are bound
behind my back
this is not love

hands on my skin
you are wanting

I don't move on
I stay so still
you win today
and always will.
hurt me baby
you do so well
like an angel
but sent from hell
you're convincing

isolate me
I won't fare well...

Shh
(VERSE 1)
I don't want to talk about it,
not today and not tomorrow
rather skip the conversation
it's kind of personal you know
I am not what I thought I was
sorry that you suffer because
I am a little bit selfish
and now the whole room is abuzz
see my head is spinning right off
from all the words, the words, the words.
So staple up your gaping mouth
before you are a dying breed
I guess we all are in a way
that way we all die, don't you think?
let's not get psychological
no puzzles here...

Bad Habit
Everything I ever wanted
was nothing you ever gave me
Each day I wake not to see your face
is the best day of my week.
I've never been good at quitting
or really at following through
so you might find you might ask
then what is it I do
I just go back to you.
I see it's hasn't been snowing again
last year I think we made a bet
we made the same one the year before
and you still have not paid me yet.
You're the worst bad habit,
but you're so good at it.
I think I've lost my head this time...
was nothing you ever gave me
Each day I wake not to see your face
is the best day of my week.
I've never been good at quitting
or really at following through
so you might find you might ask
then what is it I do
I just go back to you.
I see it's hasn't been snowing again
last year I think we made a bet
we made the same one the year before
and you still have not paid me yet.
You're the worst bad habit,
but you're so good at it.
I think I've lost my head this time...

Dark Horse
I think it's been two years
but we're back in this place
I remember thinking
never again I'd see your face
but I welcome being wrong
I throw open the door
pull up a chair, sugar
what are you standing for?
don't look so formal
we never had any ends
I hear it said sometimes
and I'll say it again
it's been a long time coming
I hope the road was your friend
so if it gets dark
don't you get scared
darkness happens, be prepared
cause you are young,
long as you feel it
if you need love,
please don't steal it...
but we're back in this place
I remember thinking
never again I'd see your face

I hear it said sometimes
and I'll say it again
it's been a long time coming
I hope the road was your friend
so if it gets dark
don't you get scared
darkness happens, be prepared

long as you feel it
if you need love,
