State of Mind
02:25
|

|
It was a chilly day in the middle of the summer
the rain came down and soaked my clothes
we said we wanted nothing but each other
but the distance between us broke my hope
and you know
If I had the choice to go back in time
just pretend to hit rewind we
would've found our way with one another
And now that you've become my life I have one regret but its alright I
wanted to make you mine
but needed this state of mind
And now that we've become us together
I took that leap of faith for you
Now I'm sure we're stuck forever
Cause as the years went by our love stayed true
If I had the choice to go back in time
just pretend to hit rewind we
would've found our way with one another
And now that you've become my life I have one regret but its alright I
wanted to make you mine
but needed this state of mind

These Nights
03:27
|

I toss and turn
this is the scene
me in my sheets
theyre far from clean
from the night before
when we were lying there
trying to see
legs
around my waist
your lips with their
so familiar taste
I always try to resist
but your love is like a drug to me
Oh
Those nights
when I looked into your eyes
you told me that you loved me baby
and these nights
I can still hear those cries
I can't sleep with out the thought of you
crawling in beside me
Just want to hear
you say my name
I see ghosts in the place
of where you layed
you face is burned
where I go to try and get away
Shut my eyes
flipped the light
I try to dream
right through the night
but mind starts racing
cause my heart is still chasing you
Oh
Those nights
when I looked into your eyes
you told me that you loved me baby
and these nights
I can still hear those cries
I can't sleep with out the thought of you
crawling in beside me

Months at a Time
04:05
|

I was walking down the hall
I don't know if she noticed it at all
but I was watching her
something caught my eye
and I couldn't tell you why
but it started up a stir
I wanted her to be my lover but she didn't know my name
I'd be lucky if she ever felt the need to stumble up my way
Just when I had turned away
she had that look on her face
and I could tell
We will be together even if this is the last time
I see you for months and don't hear a damn line
You make me feel like falling but I wouldn't mind
Cause all I wanna do, is make you all mine
I caused a ruckus cause this isn't what I thought it was
I was mistaken it was what we call residual love
I know now that we were more than we thought we were
I know now that I fell hard all over her
I wanted her to be my lover but she didn't know my name
I'd be lucky if she ever felt the need to stumble up my way
Just when I had turned away
she had that look on her face
and I could tell
We will be together even if this is the last time
I see you for months and don't hear a damn line
You make me feel like falling but I wouldn't mind
Cause all I wanna do, is make you all mine

She
03:18
|
|||
|
She spends all day
Giving herself a hard time
She spends her nights
Thinking about the things that just might
Save her in the end
she feels lost without a whim
Confused within her own mind
Shes got a heart bigger than the oceans
And a temper rougher than the tide
But when I look her in the eyes I can tell
She'll be alright
She looks in the mirror
And can't see the beauty
She cries so much
you can see it in her eyes that she
just wants the ending
her everlasting blessings
She deserves it all
She just wants to be happy
and happy's what she'll be
she's just got to wait to see
Oh yeah she's just so amazing
She's strong enough
to make it on her own
She sings of love
But shes scared of losing it all
She needs she wants shes only human
But she's better than the most of us
Shes lovely, crazy, out of her mind
But shes mine
Shes got a heart bigger than the oceans
And a temper rougher than the tide
And when I look her in her eyes,
This is what I see
Shes perfect to me.

Lost
04:10

I'm lost without you
I want to breathe again
And you know that I want to
But I can't leave this pain I'm in
She's halfway across the country
and I'm losing it in my own sin
The guilt is tearing me apart from
seeing this world that we're in
and I know
I can't find the way back to where I began
When I was younger
I loved without a doubt
and now that I'm older
It feels like my hearts tore out
It hurts to love it hurts to be me
and know that I'm falling
It hurts to know it hurts to show that
I am stuck sinking
I'm lost
I'm lost
I'm lost within myself
I'm lost within this world
And I can't find the way back to where I began
My anger is foolish
it follows with my soul
it has an agenda
my life will leave half full
the purpose is gone the glass is empty
and I can't find the way back
the purpose is gone the glass is empty
and I can't find the way back
I'm lost
I'm lost
I'm lost within myself
I'm lost within this world
And I can't find the way back to where I began

Losing It
01:22
|

|
Losing it
I gave you my heart
All of it
Thought you would carry it softly and
take care of it
I've made this mistake before
but thought you were different
I've been here two times before
And still yet I'm losing it
I've made this mistake before
but thought you were different
I've been here two times before
And still yet I'm losing it

This Life
02:05
|
|||
|
I heard far away
in a distant land
they take your love
until your broken at the knees
Theyre sinners
yes theyre crooks by trade
they'll take you life
just to take your will away
I'm here and im fighting oh
to take back what they took away
Im fighting fighting
fighting through this hell that we create
with our lies
our crooked smiles
and the time we seem to waste
we make our lives nothing but a testiment
to the things we say we hate
why dont we try try
try and save the life
we've put to flame

Words
03:16
|

|
Every word that I've ever said to you
I meant it true but these words they come with a point of view
What do I have to prove
They look like lies in the eyes of the innocent
But past those eyes you've made it apparent
That you want to see the truth
Oh
These words
Bad choices I've made
Can't say that I've saved them
Oh
Those words
I've cursed with the tongue
That I've spoken of love with
We're not quite even but you know what I speak of
The times I had to watch you fall into
Those arms that weren't mine
I dont deserve the time of day anymore
But you insist of giving me every thing but
The chance to call you mine
Oh
These words
Bad choices I've made
Can't say that I've saved them
Oh
Those words
I've cursed with the tongue
That I've spoken of love with
Oh
These words
Bad choices I've made
Can't say that I've saved them
Oh
Those words
I've cursed with the tongue
That I've spoken of love with

Choking or Drowning
03:16
|

|
You're going down
like a ship in the middle of the pacific
and you've got all these plans they look horrific
by the looks of that smile I'm sure to go down with it
I'm tired of pretending that you're all that I need
we both know that you're not
but I surely like to say it
and it looks like I'm caught
but maybe not
you believe in what you see
but you haven't seen me
in quite a while
so untie this rope and plug all the holes
cause I've looked at all your theories and I'm not quite sold
You've got me
I'll admit it
you've got me wrapped around your finger
while I'm down here just a piece of advice
you might wanna point it elsewhere
or be more precise
cause these people arent waiting on it
neither should I
you treat me like I'm nothing
and you live in a lie
I cant help these thoughts that are going through my head
but you can help the fact that we're sinking right down through this
I'm tired of pretending that you're all that I need
we both know that you're not
but I surely like to say it
and it looks like I'm caught
but maybe not
you believe in what you see
but you haven't seen me
in quite a while
so untie this rope and plug all the holes
cause I've looked at all your theories and I'm not quite sold

I've taken your time with my heart
so much of that was simply to watch it fall apart
now that the clock is spining I just want you back
cause the way that it started had me taken aback
I just
want you back
The last four years they could've been worse
I hadnt seen your face for most of them
and that seemed to be the curse
Three years went by and I dreamed of your love
the look in your eyes
and the day that I'd come
and call your bluff
I came to you
just to prove three years was nothing
I left every thing I knew
just to tell you that I loved you
the look in your eyes was more than I hoped for
what I'd give
just to prove that it was real
the tears
the laughs
the cries
your smile and your eyes
they kill me every night
I loved you
I had you
but I lost it all
cause I was scared
of being wrong
I'd kill
yeah I'd kill
for you to take me back
I thought what was there was real
maybe it was
but I screwed it with my past
I want you
I need you
I'd give this all away
just to hear you say
you do
Three years went by and I thought I was sure
I took all that time yeah I could've swore
but then
Three turned four

Did You Know
04:24
|
|||
|
I looked at all these pictures
wishing only that you were there
I turn to face the mirror
hoping maybe youll be there
my bed cusions they haunt me
because your body is not near
but ill spend the rest
of my life
looking for you
even though you wont be here
Did you know
from the first time
I looked into your eyes
from that day
my heart would stop
every time I looked inside
Did you know
that we'd fall in love
and no one would ever know
not us
not anyone
but they'd find it soon enough
I looked at all these pictures
wishing only that you were there
I turn to face the mirror
hoping maybe youll be there
my bed cusions they haunt me
because your body is not near
but ill spend the rest
of my life
looking for you
even though you wont be here
did you know
that we'd lose it still
even though we had it all
and I'd try
to rescue it
and be ashamed to watch it fall
Did you know
from the day that I met you
that I would love you still
even though
I soiled this
and you simply never will
I looked at all these pictures
wishing only that you were there
I turn to face the mirror
hoping maybe youll be there
my bed cusions they haunt me
because your body is not near
but ill spend the rest
of my life
looking for you
even though you wont be here
