Highway Roses

Verse
I don’t want to wait another minute
for the bottom to fall out.
I’m tired of the way
I’m taking things for granted with you
Love should feel like sweat in the summer
On a dark grey t-shirt.
It’s all about the work
That I have been pretending to do.
Pre
This could go on and on and on
We both know it’s wrong
But here I am, on aisle 2
Hoping I can find somebody’s words for you.
Chorus
Baby, this can’t be love
If we’re always giving up.
I’m tired of showing up with highway roses.
Baby, this can't be love
That's a feeling we've been dreaming of
I’m tired of showing up with highway roses.
Verse 2
I can't shake the feeling like
you've always just remembered to love me,
Like I am just the gum
you're grabbing in the checkout line (aw yeah, aw yeah).
So I don't wanna take another minute
For what this won't be
Cause if it's gonna end,
we might as well start saying goodbye.
Pre 2
Time comes in gets comfortable,
Years go by before you know,
Quick to say apologies,
I accept too easily.
Call to say you're running late
Throw some take out on the plate
I don't even try to wait
For you
Outro
I wanna know
if this road we're on
will keep us hanging on
'til we break through
And I wanna know
if this road we're on
will keep us hanging on
'til we break through

Verse
Such a lovely thing in daylight,
Make me wanna drop my knee
Girl you run a room, get in, get up, and get out, but there’s something underneath
Pre
Clothing ripping, biting, kissing, candle wax in bed, Gotta love what’s coming next
Chorus
Cause something happens when you’re in the dark, The shadows show me who you really are,
You flip a switch and do those bad things right,
you keep me up all night
And I kinda love it
Verse 2
When you speak your mind it turns me on
Then you got me in your hand.
Baby soon the sun will give up, give in, go down, We know talking ain’t the plan
Pre
Every time I get you home I get that different side, No more Jekyll, I want Hyde
Chorus
Cause something happens when you’re in the dark, The shadows show me who you really are,
You flip a switch and do those bad things right,
you keep me up all night
And I kinda love it
Chorus
Cause something happens when you’re in the dark, The shadows show me who you really are,
You flip a switch and do those bad things right,
you keep me up all night
And I kinda love it
(there are things that I can’t explain)
You know I want you bad You know I want you bad
You know I want you bad
You know I want you bad
(Shining Shining) You know I want you bad (Shining Shining) You know I want you bad
Cause something happens when you’re in the dark, The shadows show me who you really are,
You flip a switch and do those bad things right,
you keep me up all night (Yeahhhhh)
And I kinda love it

How Many Ways

Stay up late
On a Saturday
But you made me wait
Till the early morning
You burned that bridge
Doing what I can to try and handle this
Made me say
“That was your last warning.”
You know I really mean it when I mean it
Look around look around
I need to make a point so you can feel it
Bags on the ground on the ground
How many ways have I said goodbye
Then turned around let you back inside
How many times tried to change my mind
I gave you a change and you blew it
How many ways have you made me cry
Then turn around and you dry my eye
Swearing to God this is your last time
I gave you a chance and you blew it
No one more chance baby
No final dance baby
Yeah I’d count the ways
You tried to make me cave
And use your lyin ways
To point me in the direction
But I’m not falling for it this time
I’m not waiting til the next time
It won’t work if it’s a sometimes
I need it all or nothin
How many ways have I said goodbye
Then turned around let you back inside
How many times tried to change my mind
I gave you a change and you blew it
How many ways have you made me cry
Then turn around and you dry my eye
Swearing to God this is your last time
I gave you a chance and you blew it
No one more chance baby
No final dance baby
You know I really mean it when I mean it
I need to make a point so you can feel it
Do you feel it?
How many ways have I said goodbye
Then turned around let you back inside
How many times tried to change my mind
I gave you a change and you blew it
How many ways have you made me cry
Then turn around and you dry my eye
Swearing to God this is your last time
I gave you a chance and you blew it
No one more chance baby
No final dance baby

There’s a start and there’s an ending
To every living thing it seems
And every heartbeat needs defending
This world will rip em at the seams
I’ve been lasting here alone
Living only with my dreams
The nights were long and the wind was cold
And then you came to me
Tuning the station, seeing the faces, feeling the sun
When did the colors fill in the spaces where there were none
You can tell me I’m wrong, you can tell me I’m right, you can tell me I’m dumb
But I made up my mind that you are my only one
Been waiting my life to say it
I can’t stop thinking about you
Been waiting for you to take me on
I can’t stop thinking about you
Lonely days and lonely nights
Turned starry nights and holy days
Suddenly I see the lights
Guiding me along the way
I thought this world was something to bare
Bite down and turn your collar to the storm
And it can be that’s for sure
But you’re the fire that keeps me warm
Tuning the station, seeing the faces, feeling the sun
When did the colors fill in the spaces where there were none
You can tell me I’m wrong, you can tell me I’m right, you can tell me I’m dumb
But I made up my mind that you are my only one
Been waiting my life to say it
I can’t stop thinking about you
Been waiting for you to take me on
I can’t stop thinking about you
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na (ooh baby)
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na (yeah)
I can’t stop thinking about you (oh I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna stop thinking about you)
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na (thinking about you baby)
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na (ooh I waited my, ooh I waited my life, my life)
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na (can’t stop thinking)
I can’t stop thinking about you

V1:
It’s good to be a lover
It hurts to be loved
It hurts to be a story
It’s good to stay open
But then you’re exposed
To all of this closing
So I could say I love you
And you could say it back
And we could both mean it
Isn’t it heavy
That one of these days
It could just be part of our routine?
CH 1:
It’s body and soul
It’s yes and it’s no
So I’m letting it go
Cause everyone knows
That nobody knows
So I’m letting it go
V2:
If I could just hang up
And start again
I’d fuck up all the same shit
Cause life it’s like a puzzle
That you gotta solve
Without all of the pieces
You could actually be an astronaut
Looking back at earth
Thinking how did I not see this
Or you could be in LA
Staring at your bills
Wearing a brand new t-shirt
CH 2:
It comes and it goes
It’s hot and it’s cold
So I’m letting it go
Cause everyone knows
That nobody knows
So I’m letting it go
And I’ll just float on by
Yeah I’ll just float on by
V3:
So I try to stop the future
From leaning on the past
But it never really works for me
The longer that you’re something
The more you forget
That isn’t what you have to be
I mean you could be an analyst
Of analysis
You could be mad at your computer
Or you could just steal something
And turn up all the noise
And pass it off as something newer
CH 4:
It’s body and soul
It’s yes and it’s no
So I’m letting it go
Cause everyone knows
That nobody knows
So I’m letting it go
And I’ll just float on by
Yeah I’ll just float on by
I’m letting it go
Stay up

Ego

Maybe there’s somebody else
That can make you feel like you should
But as long as I am with you
I’m gonna work for it work for it
Cause I don’t know nothing else
See losing ain’t in my blood
As long as I am with you
I need to feel like I can fix something
I need to feel like I’m the only man
I need to feel like I am breaking through
To get to you like no one can
I need to be the hero
I need to feed my ego
Maybe that’s the problem
I feel like I can solve em
I’m the one like Neo
But maybe there’s another man
To hold you while you slow dance
And take you home at midnight
And wake up with the sunlight
Pourin in like romance
I’m reeling in my e-ego
My e-ego my e-ego
I’m reeling in my e-ego
My e-go my e-ego
Somethings wrong
I can barely sing the song to this damn song
So put yourself on my back I can bare it all
Moving on
That’s just another way of saying that we’re giving up
But losing ain’t in my blood my blood.
I need to feel like I can fix something
I need to feel like I’m the only man
I need to feel like I am breaking through
To get to you like no one can
I need to be the hero
I need to feed my ego
Maybe that’s the problem
I feel like I can solve em
I’m the one like Neo
But maybe there’s another man
To hold you while you slow dance
And take you home at midnight
And wake up with the sunlight
Pourin in like romance
I’m reeling in my e-ego
My e-ego my e-ego
I’m reeling in my e-ego
My e-go my e-ego
I’m reeling I’m reeling I’m reeling
I need to be the hero
I need to feed my ego
Maybe that’s the problem
Thinking I can solve em
Thinking I’m the one
But maybe there’s another man
To hold you while you slow dance
And take you home at midnight
And wake up with the sunlight
Pourin in like romance
I’m reeling in my e-ego
my e-ego my e-ego
My e-ego my e-ego
My e-ego
Gotta reel in my

Nothing Ever Does

Verse
Sometimes I feel like I put too much weight on the past,
The good ole days, tested ways
the structures that didn’t last.
I think about all of the people left in charge cause If you’ve got a war to fight, story to write,
They’re the ones leading the march.
Pre
So keep your head up
But don't look too far
Damn I got a story to write
And one I'll lead the march
Chorus
If you're feeling sober by what we've become
well the only thing that stays the same is that nothing ever does.
When i've gotten older, I promise that I won't judge
Cause the only thing that stays the same is that nothing ever does.
Verse 2
Sometimes I feel like I’ve got too much weight on my back
Quarter life, tryna find my final epitaph.
The best part of dyin is you don’t know you’re dead
Might as well, try it all till you run out of breath.
Chorus 2
If you're feeling sober by what we've become
well the only thing that stays the same is that nothing ever does.
It's never over and maybe that's because
Oh the only thing that stays the same is that nothing ever does.
Bridge
Creature comfort (comfortable)
Creature comfort
Chorus 3
If you're feeling sober by what we've become
well the only thing that stays the same is that nothing ever does.
When i've gotten older, I promise that I won't judge
Cause the only thing that stays the same is that nothing ever does.
If you're feeling sober by what we've become
well the only thing that stays the same is that nothing ever does.
It's never over and maybe that's because
Oh the only thing that stays the same is that nothing ever does.

Verse
The night that we met felt like I'd known you all my life. Was already wondering what our kids would look like. Your lips, my lips, fit perfectly together.
Your eyes outshined the stars
I wanna believe it's not too good to be true.
I wanna believe that it's real not just new. Cause I know right now it feels like forever But things don't always end the way they start
Chorus
When a spark turns to a flame and a flame turns to fire there's no telling what that fire will do.
Cause everybody knows it's true
Everything looks brighter underneath the light of a honeymoon.
Verse 2
Cause baby I've got some flaws and i've made some real mistakes. And when you find out will you look at me the same?
Will you be here for worse or for better?
Even when the glow is gone
Bridge
Love looks like magic,
And I've done that show before When I pulled back the curtain She didn't love me anymore
Chorus
When a spark turns to a flame and a flame turns to fire there's no telling what that fire will do.
Cause everybody knows it's true
Everything looks brighter underneath the light of a honeymoon.
Chorus
When a spark turns to a flame and a flame turns to fire there's no telling what that fire will do.
Cause everybody knows it's true
Everything looks brighter underneath the light of a honeymoon.

Early morning
See you blushing
When you see me
Then you try to hide
Nice to meet you
How you doing
Where you going
Take my phone and
Put your name inside
Where you going baby
I know you feel the same
There’s something I just can’t explain away
We’ve got something baby
We both know it
We’re just animals
We can’t stop the feeling
So just let it go
And I don’t know
And I got this hunger
Animals
And there’s just something beautiful
In letting go
And I don’t know
But I got this hunger
I gotta take a bite
And the only way I might
Is if we dance, dance
Cuz your animal inside
Doesn’t wanna stay and hide
So let’s dance, dance
Yeah we’re dressed up
Suit and make up
Wine and entree
Had the plans made
But what’s on my mind is
Food was ok
Yeah the bands great
But I can’t wait
Here’s a dark place
And we’ll go all night
Come on closer baby
I just want a taste
There’s something I just can’t explain away
We’ve got something baby
We both know it
We’re just animals
We can’t stop the feeling
So just let it go
And I don’t know
And I got this hunger
Animals
And there’s just something beautiful
In letting go
And I don’t know
But I got this hunger
I gotta take a bite
And the only way I might
Is if we dance, dance
Cuz your animal inside
Doesn’t wanna stay and hide
So let’s dance, dance
Ahh
And there’s just something beautiful

V1
Friday night in early fall
Your hair was wet and darker blonde
No one home just you and me
That's heaven when you're 17
V2
Photos fade like memories
The music stay, the color leaves
Like water on a piece of wood
Some of it sinks in for good
Pre 1:
Well how could I have known
That 12 years on down the line
I'd be singing to your picture
In my mind
CH
I can't quite recall the man I was
It seems I blinked and now he's me
When did all these just the other days
Turn in to distant memories
While you're searching for a rhyme
The slow march of time flies by
V3
From time to time I hear your name
And look you up to stoke the pain
You got a dog, just like you said
Glad something went the way we planned
CH
I can't quite recall the man I was
It seems I blinked and now he's me
When did all these just the other days
Turn in to distant memories
While you're searching for a rhyme
The slow march of time flies by

Won't Ever Say Goodbye
03:05

Even if I’m wrong about it
No I won’t ever say goodbye
No I won’t ever say
No I can’t keep talkin bout it
No I won’t ever say goodbye
No I won’t ever say goodbye
I saw you look the other way
And brush your hair right off your face
I know there’s something you don’t want to face
Say that you’re coming home
But baby, that’s the way it goes
And I know that you gotta go
But this ain’t over till it’s over so
Say that you’re coming home
Say that you’re coming home
No I can’t keep talkin bout it
No I won’t ever say goodbye
No I won’t ever say goodbye
Even if I’m wrong about it
No I won’t ever say goodbye
And I can do my best to fake it
And I’ll wait a couple rings to take it
But I’ll still hang to every word you’re saying
So say that you’re coming home
About a hundred days to walk it
That’s probably without ever stopping
But I’ll start walking come on try and stop me
I’m hoping I’m hoping I’m hoping I’m hoping that you
Feeling it feeling it feeling it feeling it too
Cause you’re holding back
You can’t be holding back no more
No I can’t keep talkin bout it
No I won’t ever say goodbye
No I won’t ever say goodbye
Even if I’m wrong about it
No I won’t ever say goodbye
No I won’t ever say goodbye
