You think you're drowning, but ya ain't in water. You're on dry land ya don't own; you're a martyr. You think you're miles ahead of us; ya ain't no farther Along. We're all in this together. It don't revolve around you whatsover. Ya can't stay grounded; ya cut ties with ya tether. So long. Don't take for granted the chances you be given. Don't take for granted this life that you been living. It's been a while since you well ran dry. It's been a while since you came up for air. Could you give me, just a single reason why. You been riding on a spare. I can read you like an open book. You're oblivious to all them dirty looks. Why don't you take a hint, and see those signs that you mistook. For wrong. Don't take for granted the chances you be given. Don't take for granted this life that you been living. It's been a while since you well ran dry. It's been a while since you came up for air. Could you give me, just a single reason why. You been riding on a spare. Weave your worry into wisdom. You burned your bridges now ya gotta swim. Leave some room for good decisions. Doesn't matter if you loose or win. Don't take for granted the chances you be given. Don't take for granted this life that you been living. It's been a while since you well ran dry. It's been a while since you came up for air. Could you give me, just a single reason why. You been riding on a spare.

Other Boys 03:01
Not gonna treat you like those other boys. You know the ones who treat your heart like a toy. I'm not gonna knock you down, so I can build you back up again. I'm not gonna make you my only world, and the only one, on whom you can depend. So I keep trying, to ease my worried mind. Thought I was in it for the long haul, not just the meantime. Now I know, there's nothing I can do or say. I'm sorry that it took me time to realize I was standing in your way. But I'm gonna treat you like those other boys. You know the ones who treat your heart like a toy. I'm not gonna knock you down, so I can build you back up again. I'm not gonna make you my only world, and the only one, on whom you can depend. Now I realize, there's gonna be some good and bad, But we can't worry what if, woulda coulda shoulda maybe mighta had. Now there's a few things we don't understand. If we don't know it now, we can face without a game plan. But I'm gonna treat you like those other boys. You know the ones who treat your heart like a toy. I'm not gonna knock you down, so I can build you back up again. I'm not gonna make you my only world, and the only one, on whom you can depend

Fine 04:18
Well you bought yourself time, On mom and daddy's dime, Convinced that it would be dumb, To lose all your momentum. If you want my sympathy, You don't need one more degree, Just work with what you've got, What you want cannot be bought. You seem convinced some of the time. When will you make up your mind? Taking chances and stances ain't no issue of mine. When will you admit you're fine? You're fine. You're gonna be fine. I see you battle with yourself, Like no one else can tell. You can tell the situation, By reading what yo face says. If you just concede defeat, This senseless war will cease. Let yourself be happy, find yourself some peace. You seem convinced some of the time. When will you make up your mind? Taking chances and stances ain't no issue of mine. When will you admit you're fine? You're fine. You're fine. You're gonna be fine. Fine. You're fine. You're gonna be fine. The path laid out before you, Is optional ya ain't forced to. Take that one way street that's meant to be two. You're putting up that forcefield, Forcing me to reveal The truth about ya that you try to conceal Are you familiar with the concept Of living without regret? Stay open minded for happy accidents. It'll hit you without warning. Ya might change ya mind in the morning. You can't complain your situation is boring. Would you rather be bored? You seem convinced some of the time. When will you make up your mind? Taking chances and stances ain't no issue of mine. When will you admit you're fine?

I've got time to spend. No I don't wanna be your friend. I'd like to get to know ya, and maybe then... This could be serious, or this could be impermanent. If you could read my mind baby, you'd see I was ambivalent. We could burn out fast, or we could make it last. We could slam the brakes darling, or we could hit the gas. I've got time to spend. No I don't wanna be your friend. I'd like to get to know ya, and maybe then... We can't see each other through the stars in our eyes. We can't tell the difference between so long and goodbye. One could last forever, the other just a while. Let's take it slow baby inch by inch, it'll add up to a mile. I've got time to spend. No I don't wanna be your friend. I'd like to get to know ya, and maybe then... Let's not get derailed. Let's not get derailed. Let's not get derailed by the details. Cause this train keeps on rolling and that ship has sailed. We don't know exactly. We don't know exactly. We don't know exactly what the future holds. We could end up better as friends, or we could wind up foes. I've got time to spend. No I don't wanna be your friend. I'd like to get to know ya, and maybe then...

For what it's worth, I don't believe in thinking you're the worst. What if I said, Everything that popped into my head. You pushed me away cause that's what you wanted. If you were being honest, you wouldn't have to flaunt it online. I should've seen it sooner, that you would go and do this. At least I can remove ya from my worrying mind. Cause you kept me in the dark, ya broke my heart. Now that we're apart I see, it's all for the best. There's nothing I can say, nothing I can do. Nothing I can prove to you, so I'll just let it rest. For what it's worth, I don't believe in thinking you're the worst. What if I said, Everything that popped into my head. We're on two different paths, and if ya did the math, You'd see it didn't add up to be more than it was. Maybe down the line, your path would cross mine, We could intertwine, and find a probable cause. But by then we're different people, Who may be fine with being single For the rest of our days. All I know is what I'm feeling, gonna take some time to reveal the truth through this haze. For what it's worth, I don't believe in thinking you're the worst. What if I said, Everything that popped into my head. I hope some good things are coming your way in a little while. I hope some good love is here to stay, and it makes you smile. And I hope that one day, you can accept this and forgive yourself. This guilt you carry is not an exception to ask for help. For what it's worth, I don't believe in thinking you're the worst. What if I said, Everything that popped into my head.

Lost & Found 04:27
I've been lost, I've been found. I've been wandering around. I've been crazed and confused. I've been beaten and bruised. With this hole in my heart, that might never be fixed. Whether regret or relief, I might always be mixed. And I've been wondering why How in the blink of an eye It all passes by And I might get another try. Well I been sitting quite still In the meantime until I can get my head straight, And know what to say. But my mouth is quite numb From biting my tongue. Holding back all the things, I could have said or have done. And I've been wondering why How in the blink of an eye It all passes by And I might get another try. I've been lost, I've been found. I've been wandering around. I've been crazed and confused. I've been beaten and bruised. And I've been wondering why How in the blink of an eye It all passes by And I might get another try.

Pieces 06:32
I've got friends, but I've still got some time. To wait until, all our stars align. I won't make no plans, and I won't call you back. I'll just drift away. I won't bridge that gap. If you get too close, You'll see what I refuse to show. You might see my heart on my sleeve. Those pieces still belong to me. Out of sight, and I'm out of your mind. We've lost touch, but you're doing fine. Some people fall, right between the cracks. What is memorable, I seem to lack. If you get too close, You'll see what I refuse to show. You might see my heart on my sleeve. Those pieces still belong to me. Despite my disposition, I've got some good intentions. You may not be aware. Trying to regain composure, the worst of it is over. Where do we go from here? If you get too close, You'll see what I refuse to show. You might see my heart on my sleeve. Those pieces still belong to me.

It's been over for a while now, but you don't seem to know yet. I remember when it seemed worthwhile, now I can't wait to forget. I do not need your sympathy my soul just needs some room to breathe. On this lonely train where it's my stop, wait for that other shoe to drop. Doesn't matter heads or tails. Doesn't matter win or fail. Doesn't matter if I try to no avail. I didn't know I needed to have back up plans in place. I didn't know I needed to have someone ready just in case. I didn't know that you were just the kind of girl who would replace with a new face. I didn't know that all my trust in me and you was just misplaced. You and me were never meant to be. If hindsight's twenty-twenty honey, why can't you see? If ya haven't noticed by now, I'm not changing my mind. Just because I let me guard down that one time. Doesn't mean I will a second time. I do not need your sympathy my soul just needs some room to breathe. On this lonely train where it's my stop, wait for that other shoe to drop. Doesn't matter heads or tails. Doesn't matter win or fail. Doesn't matter if I try to no avail. I didn't know I needed to have back up plans in place. I didn't know I needed to have someone ready just in case. I didn't know that you were just the kind of girl who would replace with a new face. I didn't know that all my trust in me and you was just misplaced. You and me were never meant to be. If hindsight's twenty-twenty honey, why can't you see?
