Car Crash :
(Ba da da da dada)
(ba da da da dada, da da)
(ba da da da dada)
(ba da da da dada, da da)

What's it gonna take to wake me up
From this black hole I've been living in?
I see my body shake, it's tensing up
My vitals won't be givin' in.

Wake me up.

(Whoo-ooh) I've found what I've been missin' lately.
(Whoo-ooh) It's the reason why my heart's been racing.
It took a car crash to turn it around,
I've figured it out- that I don't have it down.
(Whoo-ooh) I gotta get my feet back on the ground.

(ba da da da dada)
(ba da da da dada, da da)
This isn't at all what I expected-
To be stranded, drifting all alone.
How can I stay cool, calm, and collected
When my world's been turned and overthrown?

All I can remember was the brake lights flashing,
The sound of the crash, and gasping for air.
It begs the question:
Is this the end?
My last impression:
The end of the world.

Wake me up.

(Whoo-ooh) I've found what I've been missin' lately.
(Whoo-ooh) It's the reason why my heart's been racing.
It took a car crash to turn it around,
I've figured it out- that I don't have it down.
(Whoo-ooh) I gotta get my feet back on the ground.

The lights and sounds,
They are getting closer now.
As they surround,
I realize I will make it out.
And as they pull me from the wreckage,
The stretcher's coming, it's just what I need.

Wake me up.
And it's obvious...

(Whoo-ooh) I've found what I've been missin' lately.
(Whoo-ooh) It's the reason why my heart's been racing.
It took a car crash to turn it around,
I've figured it out- that I don't have it down.
(It took a car crash to turn it around.)
(Whoo-ooh) I've found what I've been missin' lately.
(Whoo-ooh) It's the reason why my heart's been racing.
It took a car crash to turn it around,
I've figured it out- that I don't have it down.
(It took a car crash to turn it around.)
(Whoo-ooh) I finally get my feet back on the ground.

(ba da da da dada)
(ba da da da dada, da da)

To Hell With The Letdown :
I've been dying for this moment,
Now I'm trying hard to make it last
My head is spinning,
Can't believe it's going by so fast

And these days are slipping away
But the memories won't fade

Don't wait for tomorrow
'Cause our time is right now
So let's keep this moving
To hell with the letdown

All the lights are burning out
But we're just getting ready to begin
No reason to call it quits
We'll take this feeling with us 'til the end

And these days are slipping away
But the memories won't fade

Don't wait for tomorrow
'Cause our time is right now
So let's keep this moving
To hell with the letdown

We're not gonna waste it
Just turn it around
So let's keep this moving
To hell with the letdown

And it won't last it forever
We can't hold our breath
If this life is all we have
It's not gonna live itself

Don't wait for tomorrow
'Cause our time is right now
So let's keep this moving
To hell with the letdown

We're not gonna waste it
Just turn it around
So let's keep this moving
To hell with the letdown

To hell with the letdown
'Cause our time is right now
So let's keep this moving
To hell with the letdown

Rescue :
I've been trying my best to figure it out
I'm done pretending that I'm doing okay
I sold my soul to the idea that we
Would be better off this way
We had all the conversations
Leading up to all of our frustrations
I'm lost in my place, but in fact
It's enough to drive you away

I'm coming home, only 300 miles away
I thought I was doing just fine,
But you'll be my crutch tonight, woah

You're the only one that can be my rescue (Don't let go)
I won't give up, fed up, you're my only hope, woah
I shouldn't have to use this song to tell you
You're my heartbreak melody, insure this pain inside of me
Distance overwhelming me, I'm lost without you

We both know the times are heavy
I played it back a thousand times in my head
A perfect scene that I want to keep living
It will pay off in the end

I'm coming home, only 200 miles away
I thought I was doing just fine,
But you'll be my crutch tonight, woah

You're the only one that can be my rescue (Don't let go)
I won't give up, fed up, you're my only hope, woah
I shouldn't have to use this song to tell you
You're my heartbreak melody, insure this pain inside of me
Distance overwhelming me, I'm lost without you

I just want to see us through this
'Cause I'm not ready to let you down
(I'm not ready to let you down)
I just want to make this happen
'Cause I'm not ready to see you go, woah

You're the only one that can be my rescue (Don't let go)
I won't give up, fed up, you're my only hope, woah

You're the only one that can be my rescue (Don't let go)
I won't give up, fed up, you're my only hope, woah
I shouldn't have to use this song to tell you
You're a heartbreak melody, insure this pain inside of me
Distance overwhelming me, I'm lost without you

Giving Yourself Away :
It happened again,
You're afraid to open up or just give in
'cause someone's gonna hurt you
Like you've been in the past
Heal the wounds, be broken glass,
Now you're jaded but please don't fade away

If you only knew how much you made me feel alive
Where do we go
How do we find ourselves
When this world brings so much pain
And how do we cope with the things we hate?
(the things that made us feel this way)

Oh girl, can't you see
The effect you have on me
And i'm not the only one
You stay inside, try to hide, just deny
Those who just want to make you smile

If you only knew how much you made me feel alive
Where do we go
How do we find ourselves
When this world brings so much pain
And how do we cope with the things we hate
(the things that made us feel this way)

How do we know when it's alright to take
The jump and not look back
We may never know,
That's what makes this life worth living
Taking chances, loving, giving yourself away

And woah, woah-oh
I can't stand this to see this state you're in
And no, no, oh
I want to make your fears all go away
'cause you make me weak every single day

Where do we go
How do we find ourselves
When this world brings so much pain
And how do we cope with the things we hate
(the things that made us feel this way)

How do we know when it's alright to take
The jump and not look back
We may never know
That's what makes this life worth living
Taking chances, loving, giving yourself away
Giving yourself away

Alive :
The night has come again,
And still, I am alone-
This time more than ever.
A feeling I had never felt before
And I don't want to remember.
It's taking a hold of me now
You drove in town to see me,
But you turned into a messenger
Oh, with news I never thought would hit my ears.
It's now numbing me inside
(?) me from this life and I,
Want so badly to disappear.

Maybe someday I can stand again.
Maybe soon, I can learn to wash my hands of this and start anew.
But I need you now to mend my heart
Because you're the only one that can keep me alive tonight. (tonight [x5])

You're everything to me:
My whole world, entire being,
The one thing I hold true in my life.
What made you do this to me?
Did you want me to set you free?
It tears me up inside, every night.

Maybe someday I can stand again.
Maybe soon, I can learn to wash my hands of this and start anew.
But I need you now to mend my heart
Because you're the only one who can keep me alive tonight.

And everything will be just fine.
(I just wanted to be perfect, I just wanted to be perfect)
And everything will be just fine.
(I just wanted to be perfect, I just wanted to be perfect)

Maybe someday I can stand again. (and everything will be just fine)
Maybe soon, I can learn to wash my hands of this and start anew.
But I need you now to mend my heart (and everything will be just fine)
Because you're the only one that can keep me alive tonight.

He's Just Not Me :
He's just not me,
And he never will be.
And he buys nice things,
But what we had was free.

So tell me I'm wrong-
Tell me that you've been missing somethin' all along.
So when will you see,
See that you're so completely better off with me?

Tell me:
When you're alone, is that when you know
That you're making the greatest mistake?
You're falling in love, and it's not enough
And you know that your heart's gonna break.
And it shows, that you're not meant to be
'Cause he's just not me. (not me, not me, not me, not me)

He'll make, it seem
That your life is like a dream.
But money isn't everything,
With a promise left empty.

So what do you think,
Now that you're drowning in the bottom of your drink?
And do you believe
That you were so completely better off with me?

So tell me:
When you're alone, is that when you know
That you're making the greatest mistake?
You're falling in love, and it's not enough
And you know that your heart's gonna break.
And it shows, that you're not meant to be
'Cause he's just not me.

There's somethin' missin' inside me I can't ignore.
And I can't stand to see you with someone else anymore.
I'm on your side (on your side)
It's time we tried...

When you're alone, is that when you know
That you're making the greatest mistake?
You're falling in love, and it's not enough
And you know that your heart's gonna break.
And it shows, that you're not meant to be
'Cause he's just not me. (not me)
(When you're alone, is that when you know?)
'Cause he's just not me (not me)
(You're falling in love, and it's not enough)
He's just not me.

Broke But Not Broken :
(I'm broke, but I'm not broken)
Like the mirror I stare into:
Distorting my own view of how I see myself,
So untraceable to everybody else.
Shattered pieces fell as I tell myself
That everything is alright
As I stand here left with nothing.
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.

Like the mirror, that's my rear view:
Distorting my own views of how I see myself,
It's not erasable, I'm miserable as hell.
As the pages turn, I begin to learn
That I have every reason to resent myself.
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.

Don't take this away, 'cause I need it.
And I can't let go of this feeling.
And these walls, they fall and my time is
Slipping further, I can't fight it.

I stand outside of my front porch and look at photographs of when
Things seemed simpler.
But I pushed away, so this is where I am:
At a different place where I lost track
And everything's not alright.
So I'll stand here left with nothing.
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.

Don't take this away, 'cause I need it.
And I can't let go of this feeling.
And these walls, they fall and my time is
Slipping further, I can't fight it.

I'm holding on to what I know,
Don't wanna change.
I may be wrong, but after every word that's spoken,
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.

Like the mirror I stare into:
Distorting my own view of how I see myself,
So untraceable to everybody else.
Shattered pieces fell as I tell myself
That everything is alright
As I stand here left with nothing.
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.

Don't take this away, 'cause I need it.
And I can't let go of this feeling.
And these walls, they fall and my time is
Slipping further, I can't fight it.

Don't take this away, 'cause I need it.
And I can't let go of this feeling.
And these walls, they fall and my time is
Slipping further, I can't fight it.

I'm holding on to what I know,
Don't wanna change.
I may be wrong, but after every word that's spoken...
I'm not broken. (na nana na)
I'm not broken. (na nana na)
I'm not broken. (na nana na)
But after every word that's spoken,
I'm broke, but I'm not broken.

Miserably Loving You :
Another day, another day I decide to
Waste away and contemplate how
Everything has changed.
And though we tried, not to compromise what burns inside
Your complex mind that changes everyday.

These deep breaths repeating
(My heart stops its beating)
And I don't know why these deep breaths repeating
(My heart stops its beating)
The sun has yet to set and you've already said good night.

Emily, please, there's nothing wrong with the way I light up when you're around.
Do anything you want, but don't leave me out.
Emily, please, just get closer to me.

A month went by, a month that I can't describe,
A month I've been trying to push aside and forget in time.
And now we are inches away, but we're miles apart,
So I'll dream of the day and how we felt at the start.
But dreams don't come easy these days,
And the colors, they fade into grays.

These deep breaths repeating
(My heart stops its beating)
She's determined to start a fight.
These deep breaths repeating
(My heart stops its beating)
The sun has yet to set and you're not here to say good night.

Emily, please, there's nothing wrong with the way I light up when you're around.
Do anything you want, but don't leave me out.
Emily, c'mon, this was going somewhere,
I won't let go of what we had
'Cause I'm a broken record that keeps on skipping back.
And I still miss her.

And I never thought that you'd leave me here all on my own.
And I never thought you'd be willing to take away my home.
'Cause there's no one to call and I'm so sick of being all alone.
And I'm stuck miserably loving you.

Emily, please, there's nothing wrong with the way I light up when you're around.
Do anything you want, but don't leave me out...
Emily, please, there's nothing wrong with the way I light up when you're around.
Do anything you want, but don't leave me out.
Emily, c'mon, this was going somewhere,
I won't let go of what we had.
Now I'm a broken record that keeps on skipping back.
Emily, please, just get closer to me.

So Much I Never Said :
(Whoa oh-oh, whoa oh-oh [x2])

You packed me up and send me off,
I thought you might be angry.
The world was dark and it was cold,
No, I don't know this city.

Not giving up,
Impatiently, I'm at Terminal 2, waiting by Gate 3...
Won't you come back, just for my sake?
'Cause what we had can't be replaced.

Everyone has somewhere to go.

How am I gonna make my way back home?
It's bad enough stranded in a different time zone.
What happened to us?
'Round and 'round, it never ends.
And you don't come back,
There's so much, so much I never said.

(Whoa oh-oh, whoa oh-oh [x2])

I thought I heard them say your name
On the overhead loudspeaker.
The time has past- that was yesterday,
This place is overwhelming.

It's sinking in gradually
That you're not coming back for me.
All these high hopes weigh heavily-
Feels like an eternity.

No one else was left alone.

How am I gonna make my way back home?
It's bad enough stranded in a different time zone.
What happened to us?
'Round and 'round, it never ends.
And you don't come back,
There's so much, so much I never said.

(Whoa oh-oh, whoa oh-oh [x2])

I feel so lost.
Is it terminal?

How am I gonna make my way back home?
It's bad enough stranded in a different time zone.
What happened to us?
'Round and 'round, it never ends.
And you don't come back,
There's so much, so much I never said.
How am I gonna make my way back home?
It's bad enough stranded in a different time zone.
What happened to us?
'Round and 'round, it never ends.
And you don't come back,
There's so much, so much I never said.

(Whoa oh-oh, whoa oh-oh)
So much I never said.

We're All The Same :
Everybody's sayin' something,
They tell us how to live our lives-
It's all lies. (lies, lies)

I go from burning out the streetlights
To waking up all alone
Next to your pillow. (pillow, pillow)

And I know it's easier to go, just to
Go with the flow.
I'm here to let you know to
Just let go, step out of the straight line.
Don't you know?
We're here to have a good time.

Here, we are, we're all the same
And we all play this game.
And you, you take, you take me away
The world's such a heavy place.
The door's been opened,
We've been waiting all this time.
Here, we are, we're all the same
And we all play this game.

She went to college, now a housewife.
She wears a smile and she cries inside,
She thought she did everything right. (Oh...)

He starts to wonder where the time went
As he's sittin' at his 9 to 5,
As he stares out the window. (dow, dow)

And I know it's easier to go, just to
Go with the flow.
I'm here to let you know to
Just let go, step out of the straight line.
Don't you know?
We're here to have a good time.

Here, we are, we're all the same
And we all play this game.
And you, you take, you take me away
The world's such a heavy place.
The door's been opened,
We've been waiting all this time.
Here, we are, we're all the same
And we all play this game.

We're born on a rock
Spinning through space.
We can't understand
What we cannot explain.

(Here, we are, we're all the same...)
You, you take, you take me away
The world's such a heavy place.
The door's been opened,
We've been waiting all this time....
Here, we are, we're all the same
And we all play this game.
And you, you take, you take me away
The world's such a heavy place.
The door's been opened,

Damn Rough Night :
It’s gonna be a damn rough night
For the designated driver
'Cause it's me and whoever
And you know we won't remember
Sorry for what I'm about to do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through

Before we take a drink let's toast
To the "never have I ever"s
'Cause tonight is the night
That we'll talk about forever
So take my keys and hide my cell phone
If I turn into trouble, at least I warned you

Let's recap and get caught up
No one said enough's enough
I let go the better part of me

I guess I had a damn rough night
I'm still piecing it together
There's a girl in my bed
And I haven't even met her

I had a damn rough night
And I can't even remember
Threw my clothes in the fire
and I turned into a streaker

Sorry for what I'm about to do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through
All these crazy things we do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through

I heard I was a big chaotic mess at the occasion
Was a total disaster and now I'm fading faster
I'll keep the score never realized
So I pass the time until I feel alive
and I am not like this all the time

Let's recap and get caught up
No one said enough's enough
I let go the better part of me

I guess I had a damn rough night
I'm still piecing it together
There's a girl in my bed
And I haven't even met her

I had a damn rough night
And I can't even remember
Threw my clothes in the fire
And I turned into a streaker

Sorry for what I'm about to do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through
All these crazy things we do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through

And if I had the chance
You know I’d do it all again
(I’d do it all again)
And if I had the chance
You know I'd do it all again

Looks like I had a damn rough night
I'm still piecing it together
There's a girl in my bed
And I haven't even met her

They say I had a damn rough night
And I can't even remember
Threw my clothes in the fire
And I turned into a streaker

Sorry for what I'm about to do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through
All these crazy things we do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through

Sorry for what I'm about to do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through
All these crazy things we do
Turning 21 is a bitch to go through
Is a bitch to go through

Unconscious Reality :
i lay down and watch the sun come up
don't know how long it's been since my eyes were shut
and they're burning, i'm twisting, and turning
a lonely night, a tired morning

i'm isolated, awake at five am
unmotivated, unplugging the clock again
i lose track of when this day ends and the next one begins
so eventually..

i'll take another pill to fall asleep
and slip into unconscious reality
i slowly fade away and begin this dream
where the pieces fit so easily

i walk around like an outcast to all the lights and sounds,
losing grip of everything
i daze away and dream more in the day
wasting time losing sleep, i can't escape
i'll make it somehow, i'm not sure
just how that may be
i'll fake it 'till i find a cure,
i'll just assume for now i'll have to..

take another pill to fall asleep
and slip into unconscious reality
i slowly fade away and begin this dream
where the pieces fit so easily

i'm never really awake
but i'm not asleep, no i'm not asleep
i slowly fade away and begin this dream
where the pieces fit so easily

and don't wake please wake me up
('cause i'm not here to answer)
and don't wake, please wake me up
(can't you hear my pleading?)

i'll make it somehow, i'm not sure
i'll just assume for now i'll have to..

take another pill to fall asleep
and slip into unconscious reality
i slowly fade away and begin this dream
where the pieces fit so easily

i'm never really awake
but i'm not asleep, no i'm not asleep
i try to fade away and begin this dream
where the pieces fit so easily

i'm never really awake
but i'm not asleep, no i'm not asleep
i try to fade away and begin this dream
where the pieces fit so easily

(woah oh oh, woah oh oh-oh
woah oh oh, woah oh oh)

Favorite Fix :
I'm losin' my edge,
Reflection's turned to white- like a ghost that's in the mirror,
It keeps haunting me tonight.
And as I lose my self-control, (lose my self control)
(I become a disaster)
Into the unknown
(I move a little faster)

You know that in the end,
(You're my favorite)
I'll relapse again.
(You're my favorite)
I'm down to my own tricks,
You're my favorite fix. (fix, fix, fix...)

When I come down, I can't replace the feeling
Of falling to my knees and I'm sweatin' 'cause I'm fiendin'- I need it.
As I lost my self-control (lost my self-control)
(It's self-defeating)
It's left me all alone
(And now I know reason)

You know that in the end,
(you're my favorite)
I'll relapse again.
(you're my favorite)
I'm down to my own tricks,
You're my favorite fix. (fix, fix, fix, fix....)

I come to grips that I have fallen in so deep.
There's no resisting to what pulls me out of reach.
I am a victim, a product of an addiction.
Locked in this system and there's no escape.

You know that in the end,
(You're my favorite)
I'll relapse again.
(You're my favorite)
I'm down to my own tricks,
You're my favorite fix.
You know that in the end,
(You're my favorite)
I'll relapse again.
(You're my favorite)
I'm down to my own tricks...
I'm down to my own tricks,
You're my favorite fix

Adorable :
So am i wrong to make believe
that she's divine in all the flawless ways that she
cuts me back down to size?
her sarcastic tongue only fuels the fire
don't get me wrong 'cause i believe she's an affliction that i need
her sweet bitter words don't phase me
those little white lies are intoxicating

i lost a step and i'm falling into you
you know exactly what you do

she's adorable as hell
she's got me begging on my knees
la da da da da - i'm so into it
she's adorable as hell
she's got me begging on my knees
la da da da da - i'm so into it

i'm powerless and she's well rehearsed
her sober chorus undermines my wasted verse
unexpected and defeated
i never thought i'd get off being mistreated
i won't take for granted
her picturesque letter perfect silhouette
her red hot short fuse attracts me
i've lost all control 'cause she's so distracting

i tripped up and i'm falling into you
you know exactly what you do

she's adorable as hell
she's got me begging on my knees
la da da da da - i'm so into it
she's adorable as hell
she's got me begging on my knees
la da da da da - i'm so into it

i try to save the better days with you
in the back of my mind
but focus on the bitter words you choose
they send chills down my spine

i took a chance and i'm falling into you
you know exactly what you do

she's adorable as hell
she's got me begging on my knees
la da da da da - i'm so into it
she's adorable as hell
she's got me begging on my knees
la da da da da - i'm so into it

8-14 :
Vs.1
Let’s just drive.
Forever rides, from all that I stayed.
Think about the outcome.
I thought this was more,
than just a meaningless chain of events.
I know it’s worth it.
And I’m not ashamed to tell you.
Oh you’re nothing less than all I have.
I pray to god that you realize,
That you realize!

chorus

I’ll always be patient.
In spite of all the things you said.
You’re not alone, not alone.
(when you find)
(though you are)
You have always known,
I’ll be there.
You’re not alone, not alone.

vs. 2
These words not escape my mouth.
Cause my heart, my heart should lead yours.
So it’s the changing world.
That you are, are still ace.
I know it’s you, I know it’s you.

I am with you, when you’re ready to, you’re ready to. [x4]
