Wonder...
03:52
|

They can't take away the gains from the pains
All the shit that we went through
Together in a game where the playing field
Don't always want you
It's not a fight that ain't worth fighting
And I wouldn't feel right if I wasn't
But sometimes deep down
I really wonder...
Why me? What if? How did I get here?
Don't leave me yet - I need your ear
Don't it make you wonder?
Don't it make you wonder?
Don't it make you wonder?
Don't it make you wonder?
(Why me? What if?)
(Why me? What if? Why?)
Not a sinner or a saint
Some days, disillusioned with it all
So many things fly my way
But should I answer my own call?
I feel like time is running out
Getting older, but a job without
And sometimes deep down
I really wonder...
Why me? What if? How did I get here?
Don't leave me yet - I need your ear
Don't it make you wonder?
Don't it make you wonder?
Don't it make you wonder?
Don't it make you wonder?
Don't it make you wonder like I do?
Don't it make you wonder like I do?
Don't it make you wonder like I do?
Don't it make you wonder like I do?
Make me wonder, make me wonder 'bout me
Like who and why and where and what I wanna be
Not knowing anything is all I see
As the clock moves forward, I lose my young in it...
Make me wonder, make me wonder 'bout me
Like who and why and where and what I wanna be
Not knowing anything is all I see
Not knowing anything is all I see...
Don't it make you wonder like I do?
Don't it make you wonder like I do?
Don't it make you wonder like I do?
Don't it make you wonder like I do?
Sometimes, the journey is more important than the destination
Welcome to mine...

Slow It Down
05:35
|

I don't like the way we're going
Both of us keep talking our shit
Used to be so close before but
Now we're torn apart at our differences
We've got a lot of differences...
I don't know what the hell you're doing
No disrespect, I just wanted your body
I didn't want to get involved with
All your bullshit but I guess that's changed
I guess we've changed...
We could take it going down town
Build a time machine 'n' go down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Make it shake like an earthquake
And we'll forget the time we waste
Fighting over nothing
Take it slower, I could slow it...
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
I'm not trying to make sense no more
Lost my judgment it's so stupid
The politics of corporate greed
But we're #BERNing ourselves to nothing
What will be left of us is nothing
We could take it going down town
Build a time machine 'n' go down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Make it shake like an earthquake
And we'll forget the time we waste
Fighting over nothing
Take it slower, I could slow it...
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Breathing without air is impossible
But we've both suffocated what we could've been
It's like finding out what we both believed in
Is a lie on both sides
But we continued to pursue it
Completely losing sight of what it means to be human
What the real feeling of caring for each other
Really feels like...
We could take it going down town
Build a time machine 'n' go down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Make it shake like an earthquake
And we'll forget the time we waste
Fighting over nothing
Take it slower, I could slow it...
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down
Down down down down down down down
Down down down down down
Take it slower, I could slow it down

Picture us in our own little
Perfect paradise together
Something that we both created
Far away from here
Picture us away from fire
Given all the things we needed
Somewhere where we love together
Far away from here
I want your body pressed on my body
Everybody needs love sometimes
Everyone's fighting, we'll keep trying
There's no denying we've got that special
Thing like a ice cream shop
Summertime on the block
Throwback 'till nine o'clock
We don't stop
Sweet like a lollipop
Hard like a dubstep drop
Sold like an Apple stock
We don't stop
Picture us in our own little
Perfect kinda dream together
Been so long I've been wanting you
I can't stop
Just to feel us close together
Is enough for me to feel your heartbeat
Up and down in my body
I need you
I want your body pressed on my body
Everybody needs love sometimes
Everyone's fighting, we'll keep trying
There's no denying we've got that special
Thing like a ice cream shop
Summertime on the block
Throwback 'till nine o'clock
We don't stop
Sweet like a lollipop
Hard like a dubstep drop
Sold like an Apple stock
We don't stop
I don't care what they have to say
I wanna be your runaway
I wanna make love all night long
I don't care what they have to say
They can shout and scream but they
Won't have what they can't see
We've got that special
Thing like a ice cream shop
Summertime on the block
Throwback 'till nine o'clock
We don't stop
Sweet like a lollipop
Hard like a dubstep drop
Sold like an Apple stock
We don't stop
We don't stop
We don't stop
We don't stop
We don't stop

Stay.
05:28
|

Make it, break it down
For no reason but the sound
If it feels we're out of town
Then we have no place left to start
Watch out for the "love"
They're sending disguised
All of the above defending nothing
Left for us to part
Here's my invitation to
Losing my mind with you
Going crazy, but damn it feels so good
That I can't contain it
I can't contain it
The world might stop spinning
I don't care if it does tonight
As long as you and I
Stay. Right. Here...
All lovers will always fight
We'll always be alright
As long as you and I
Stay. Right. Here...
Stay. Right. Here...
Stay. Right. Here...
Stay. Right. Here...
Stay. Right. Here...
Make sure we're fortified
In the event we need to hide
Away from all the fight
It's kind of insane out there
Here's my invitation to
Losing my mind with you
Going crazy, but damn it feels so good
That I can't contain it
I can't contain it
The world might stop spinning
I don't care if it does tonight
As long as you and I
Stay. Right. Here...
All lovers will always fight
We'll always be alright
As long as you and I
Stay. Right. Here...
Let's acknowledge our differences
Forget all the wrongs we caused one another
Let's heal... Right. Here.

The Truth
04:37
|

On December 1st, you blindsided me
Took an oath to protect our decency
But there you were, pen in hand
Ready for the worst
I was praying on my knees
But those words were cursed
I was drinking you away
But then it dawned on me
That's what you'd want me to do
So I found a better way:
I'll hold your words at play
Until you tell me the truth
Tell me the truth- don't lie
Tell me the truth- don't lie
Look me in my eyes
And I'll give you one shot at making this right-
Tell me the truth- don't lie
You probably think it's cute
That you FUNKED with me
But I won't let your work go unchecked
You best believe
But there you were, pen in hand
Ready for the worst
I was praying on my knees
But those words were cursed
I was drinking you away
But then it dawned on me
That's what you'd want me to do
So I found a better way:
I'll hold your words at play
Until you tell me the truth
Tell me the truth- don't lie
Tell me the truth- don't lie
Look me in my eyes
And I'll give you one shot at making this right-
Tell me the truth- don't lie
Take the photo and make it count
Because this moment will only come once...

Photograph
03:09

Take a photograph
It will last longer than us
Take a photograph
So we can remember we tried
Take a photograph
It's worth more than your words
Take a photograph
Because we can't stop time
Sometimes you win, but this game you lose
When you don't give in and you can't choose
We need memories and a souvenir
To tell the the world that we were here
Take a photograph
It will last longer than us
Take a photograph
So we can remember we tried
Take a photograph
It's worth more than your words
Take a photograph
Because we can't stop time
Ooh I wonder, wonder, wonder where we are
On the same team but galaxies apart
Sometimes I feel like I don't know the truth
Take a photograph it will last longer than me and you...
Me and you...
Take the photo and make it count
Because this moment will only come once
And when it does, are we gonna be a ghost of who we are
Are we gonna be a memory that's so lost in the past
That we leave the universe and it forgets about us
And we figure out how to move on...

Bad Decisions
03:57
|
|||
If you ever left me
I probably would die
There'd be no reason left
For me to even try
I act like I don't care
When you're there, but I really do
Just to be next to me
Is all I need from you
'Cause when I'm lonely
I make bad decisions
When I'm lonely
I lack consideration
When I'm lonely
I don't care about the consequences
Don't care what it means
Oh no
Don't leave me lonely, lonely
I'm perfectly reasonable
When you're around
When life's in free fall
You're my solid ground
I try to find my own sanity
The hardest part for me
Is all I ask of you
'Cause when I'm lonely
I make bad decisions
When I'm lonely
I lack consideration
When I'm lonely
I don't care about the consequences
Don't care what it means
Oh no
Don't leave me lonely, lonely
I believe in the fire
I don't care about the burn
All I ask of you is to keep me sane
While the wheel turns
'Cause when I'm lonely
I make bad decisions
When I'm lonely
I lack consideration
When I'm lonely
I don't care about the consequences
Don't care what it means
Oh no
Don't leave me lonely, lonely

Growing Pains
05:52
|
|||
Why don't we take some time to find us
We are young and full of life
Why don't we leave tonight?
It's all unknown until it's known
But we are forced to keep it going
Why don't we take the dive
We don't know what's on the ocean floor
Unless we go and discover
Well, I walk down through the fire-hot dirt
And I feel the pain, I ain't scared of hurt
Sometimes hurt is what you need to grow up
And losing ain't that all bad
In the moment it feels like that's all you had
But in the end at least you'll say you know
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
Why don't we know what we want
Take the time to learn a different song
Why are we bound by their rules
It's never known until it's known
And now is a perfect time to go
We can do what we want to do
We don't know what's on the ocean floor
Unless we go and discover
Well, I walk down through the fire-hot dirt
And I feel the pain, I ain't scared of hurt
Sometimes hurt is what you need to grow up
And losing ain't that all bad
In the moment it feels like that's all you had
But in the end at least you'll say you know
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
I don't want to stay in this place too long
This place too long for you
I don't want to say I did it wrong
I did it wrong for you
It's my life and I want to be what I want to be
And what I want is to be me
Well, I walk down through the fire-hot dirt
And I feel the pain, I ain't scared of hurt
Sometimes hurt is what you need to grow up
And losing ain't that all bad
In the moment it feels like that's all you had
But in the end at least you'll say you know
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
Now you'll know...
