- sparks fly
- the way you move is like a full on rainstorm, and i’m a house of cards
- drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain, kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain
- ‘cause i see sparks fly, whenever you smile
- i run my fingers through your hair, and watch the lights go wild, just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it’s just wrong enough to make it feel right
- and lead me up the staircase, won’t you whisper soft and slow, i’m captivated by you, baby, like a fireworks show
- back to december
- you gave me roses and i left them there to die
- it turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you, wishin' i’d realized what i had when you were mine
- then i think about summer, all the beautiful times, i watched you laughin' from the passenger's side, and realized i loved you in the fall
- and then the cold came, the dark days, when fear crept into my mind
- you gave me all your love and all i gave you was goodbye
- maybe this is wishful thinkin', probably mindless dreamin', but if we loved again, i swear i’d love you right
- i’d go back in time and change it, but i can't, so if the chain is on your door, i understand
- speak now
- i hear the preacher say, "speak now or forever hold your peace", there’s the silence, there's my last chance, i stand up with shaky hands, all eyes on me
- horrified looks from everyone in the room, but i’m only looking at you
- dear john
- long were the nights when, my days once revolved around you, counting my footsteps, praying the floor won't fall through again
- you paint me a blue sky, and go back and turn it to rain, and i lived in your chess game, but you changed the rules every day
- well, maybe it's me, and my blind optimism to blame, or maybe it's you and your sick need, to give love then take it away
- you are an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry, never impressed by me acing your tests, all the girls that you've run dry have tired lifeless eyes, 'cause you burned them out, but i took your matches before fire could catch me, so don't look now, i'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town
- mean
- you, with your words like knives, and swords and weapons that you use against me
- you, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when i’m wounded
- you, with your switching sides, and your wildfire lies and your humiliation
- the story of us
- i used to know my place was a spot next to you, now i’m searching the room for an empty seat, ‘cause lately i don't even know what page you're on
- oh, a simple complication, miscommunications lead to fall out, so many things that i wish you knew, so many walls up i can't break through
- now i’m standing alone in a crowded room, and we're not speaking, and i’m dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me?
- i don't know what to say since the twist of fate, when it all broke down, and the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
- but you held your pride like you should have held me
- oh, i’m scared to see the ending, why are we pretending this is nothing? i’d tell you I miss you but i don't know how, i’ve never heard silence quite this loud
- the battle's in your hands now, but i would lay my armor down, if you'd say you'd rather love than fight
- never grow up
- take pictures in your mind of your childhood room, memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home
- remember the footsteps, remember the words said, and all your little brother's favorite songs
- i just realized everything i have is someday gonna be gone
- enchanted
- walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy, vanished when i saw your face
- this night is sparkling, don't you let it go, i’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home, i’ll spend forever wondering if you knew, i was enchanted to meet you
- this night is flawless, don't you let it go, i’m wonderstruck, dancing around all alone
- this is me praying that, this was the very first page, not where the story line ends, my thoughts will echo your name, until i see you again
- please don't be in love with someone else, please don't have somebody waiting on you
- better than revenge
- she took him faster than you could say sabotage
- she’s not a saint and she's not what you think, she’s an actress
- he was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches
- sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
- but no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
- innocent
- i guess you really did it this time, left yourself in your warpath, lost your balance on a tightrope, lost your mind tryin' to get it back
- wasn’t it easier in your lunchbox days? always a bigger bed to crawl into, wasn’t it beautiful when you believed in everything, and everybody believed in you?
- you string of lights is still bright to me
- who you are is not where you’ve been, you’re still an innocent
- did some things you can't speak of, but at night you live it all again
- you wouldn't be shattered on the floor now, if only you had seen what you know now then
- wasn’t it easier in your firefly-catchin' days? and everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
- wasn’t it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep, before the monsters caught up to you?
- it’s okay, life is a tough crowd, 32 and still growing up now
- time turns flames to embers, you’ll have new septembers, everyone of us has messed up too
- minds change like the weather, i hope you remember, today is never too late to be brand new
- haunted
- you and I walk a fragile line, i have known it all this time, but i never thought i’d live to see it break
- holding my breath, won’t see you again, something keeps me holding on to nothing
- can’t breathe whenever you're gone, can’t go back, i’m haunted
- last kiss
- i do recall now, the smell of the rain, fresh on the pavement, i ran off the plane, that july ninth, the beat of your heart, it jumps through your shirt, i can still feel your arms
- all that i know is i don't know, how to be something you miss
- your name, forever the name on my lips
- so i’ll watch your life in pictures like i used to watch you sleep, and i feel you forget me like i used to feel you breathe, and i’ll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are, hope it's nice where you are
- you can plan for a change in the weather and time, but i never planned on you changing your mind
- long live
- it was the end of a decade, but the start of an age
- long live the walls we crashed through, how the kingdom lights shined just for me and you, i was screaming, "long live all the magic we made", and bring on all the pretenders, one day we will be remembered
- long live all the mountains we moved, i had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
- hold on to spinning around, confetti falls to the ground, may these memories break our fall
- tell them how the crowds went wild, tell them how i hope they shine
- ours
- and the verdict comes from those with nothing else to do, the jury's out, but my choice is you
- the stakes are high, the water’s rough, but this love is ours
- superman
- right here, wishing the flowers were from you, wishing the card was from you, wishing the call was from you, ‘cause i’ve loved you from the very first day
- electric touch
- all i know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life, got a feelin' your electric touch could fill this ghost town up with life
- emma falls in love
- cause she's the kind of book that you can't put down, like if cleopatra grew up in a small town
- when emma falls in love, it's all on her face, hangs in the air like stars in outer space
- i could see you in your suit and your necktie, passed me a note saying, "meet me tonight", then we kiss, and you know i won't ever tell
- and i could see you being my addiction, you can see me as a secret mission, hide away and i will start behaving myself
- their faith was strong, but i pushed it too far, i held that grudge 'til it tore me apart
- and here i sit alone, behind walls of regret, falling down like promises that i never kept
- my foes and friends watch my reign end, i don't know how it could've ended this way, smoke billows from my ships in the harbor, people look at me like i’m a monster, now they're screaming at the palace front gates, used to chant my name, now they're screaming that they hate me, never wanted you to hate me
- and i feel like my castle's crumbling down, and i watch all my bridges burn to the ground, and you don't want to know me, i will just let you down, you don't wanna know me now
- and the voices say, "you are not the exception, you will never learn your lesson"
- foolish one, stop checkin' your mailbox for confessions of love, that ain't never gonna come, you will take the long way, you will take the long way down
- and it's delicate, but i will do my best to seem bulletproof
- but goodbye screamin' in the silence, and the voices in my head are tellin' me why
- 'cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings, i’ll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
- on a crowded street in 1944, and you were headed off to fight in the war, you still would've been mine, we would have been timeless, i would've read your love letters every single night, and prayed to God you'd be comin' home all right, and you would've been fine, we would have been timeless, 'cause i believe that we were supposed to find this, so, even in a different life, you still would've been mine, we would've been timeless
- time stood still like somethin' in this old shop, i thought about it as i started lookin' 'round, at these precious things that time forgot
- that’s when i came upon a book covered in cobwebs, story of a romance torn apart by fate
- time breaks down your mind and body, don’t you let it touch your soul
