We walk in straight lines so we don’t veer off course And make more mistakes that might break us or worse But where do we go, I’m not liking this show that we’re feigning on one another The snow starts to stick and begins again the war Why can’t I be free of all that you are? Happiness is a choice tell me that’s where you went When you said we weren’t working, is that what you meant? There’s something about this place Baby you left a trace Of our love and I don’t know why but I know this has to be goodbye The grass grew there, you know The park where we used to go And I don’t know why but I know this has to be, this has to be goodbye Sitting on that park bench, scanning everything we’ve seen I wish that you believed me, I wasn’t trying to be mean Afraid the hurt would burst out- so I had to go away I’m sorry I can’t bring myself to say There’s something about this place Baby you left a trace Of our love and I don’t know why but I know this has to be goodbye The grass grew there, you know The park where we used to go And I don’t know why but I know this has to be, this has to be goodbye You left me thinking that I blew it But I wonder if you knew it That we were never matched and our hearts still slashed at the thought of it being over over, over..... There’s something about this place Baby you left a trace Of our love and I don’t know why but I know this has to be goodbye The grass grew there, you know The park where we used to go And I don’t know why but I know this has to be, this has to be goodbye And I don't know why but I know this has to be, this has to be goodbye

I Don't 04:25
I don’t want you to hate me I don’t want you to love me I just want you to leave me First time we met at a birthday party and we talked for hours Didn’t drink a thing but now I know all of your super powers That night you made me feel so intriguing You walked me home and said that you were sad that I was leaving I don’t want you to hate me I don’t want you to love me I just want you to need me, for now You started calling me almost every single day Wanted to see me but I didn’t know what to say Pulling you back and forth, don’t wanna string you along But to shut you out, ignore your calls well I know it feels so wrong I don’t want you to hate me I don’t want you to love me I just want you to leave me, alone Baby you know the lines are so unclear But this whole time my heart it holds you near Worried that we’d lose each other between the miles That stood between us, so I latched onto what was close by What was close by I don’t want you to hate me I don’t want you to love me I just want you to leave me I just want you to leave me

Home 02:52
The lights outside my house They’re brighter when you’re around You pull up to the door And I don’t care anymore Sprinkles of snow are on the ground It finally feels like winter now Made a surprise visit tonight Now my heart it feels so light The happiness I feel When it’s cold outside but it’s warm in here The taste of chocolate on your mouth Love feels cozy this time of year Love feels cozy this time of year

This morning walked out the door The sun hadn’t even risen but I got on the train and rode it right into the city The streets were ready for me to begin and I walked down ready to win Fresh cool air, a brand new start and it’s my time You give me some forward motion Let me outta this standstill ocean The waves are finally moving toward the middle of the sea, and I think I like it You set me free toward that, toward that forward motion Keep giving me that forward motion What gets me outta bed Not letting anyone else get ahead, spinning around and never falling to the ground The kind of feeling that makes you wonder When is everything else going under? So much happy, I don’t know how But this is here, not then but now You give me some forward motion Let me outta this standstill ocean The waves are finally moving toward the middle of the sea, and I think I like it You set me free toward that, toward that forward motion Keep giving me that forward motion Trying to keep my eyes ahead Happiness doesn’t go well with dread Is this the quiet before the storm? If I let it be then maybe, It’s meant to be and plainly, I can see that lately, I’ve got my new start You give me some forward motion Let me outta this standstill ocean The waves are finally moving toward the middle of the sea, and I think I like it You set me free toward that, toward that forward motion Keep giving me that forward motion

Hey Girl 03:40
Hey girl, you showed me a good time, showed me a good time You made me come up with all these stupid rhymes 'Cos I've written more songs in a month than I've written in my whole life Hey girl, you showed me a good time, you showed me a good time Well it isn't hard to remember the fun we had But baby it's hard to place the times that you were truly glad 'Cos you pushed one foot out the door the second that it was good You never let me in but well somehow, there I still stood Hey girl, what happened to the good times? What happened to the good times? I knew that the end was imminent. so I let it be your decision Hiding behind all your measured thoughts and your logical inquisitions But it's just another cop out, you're too afraid to try and that's the truth So don't you dare go and tell me that you feel like I knew you Hey girl, I miss the good times, I miss the good times The hardest part is I never got to know you and I never will It makes me cry to realize all the time I spent climbing uphill I gave you little pieces of my heart that I'll never get back And that's okay, I just wish that you had given me something back Hey girl. you missed out on a good time, you missed out on a good time Hey girl was this a bad time? Was this a bad time?

Hold Onto 03:46
Stopped at the corner of fall and the park We come back to this place in the middle of Brooklyn to mark Everywhere we’ve been and where we will go Each road has a memory but new seeds we will sew ba ba da ba Standing on the tree stumps, fresh autumn leaves on the ground Gathering up our loneliness from each year that surrounds So I’ll bring the mulled wine, if you promise to let me in ‘Cos as soon as that wind blows, our season begins ba ba da ba So hold my hand as the seasons change Finally have it figured out, got our lives rearranged Pull me close, our hearts we once knew Believe in the love, we gotta hold on to ba ba da ba The changing of the colours fill us with hope and pain It’s times like these I sure wish it would pour rain You pull at my heart with your sorrow deep inside And I wanna help you but I can’t look for you, I’ll never find you I’ve tried I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried.... So hold my hand as the season change Finally have it figured out, got our lives rearranged Pull me close, our hearts we once knew Believe in the love, we gotta hold on to ba ba da ba

Bent and Broken, twisted over back and forth a million times Happy to run for the bus ‘cos it’s my chance to throw a tantrum on the pavement like I’m a child I feel like a child ‘Cos I’m sick of feeling and I’m sick of dreaming and I’m sick of hoping, never knowing where I’m going And I wanna please you Don’t wanna leave you I wanna end up tired and happy, free and easy Ba ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba The days are so long I think I’m starting to hate every person going by I never used to be this way, ya I agree with The Beatles, “All you need is love,” But It’s exhausting ‘Cos I’m sick of feeling and I’m sick of dreaming and I’m sick of hoping, never knowing where I’m going And I wanna please you Don’t wanna leave you I wanna end up tired and happy, free and easy
