Maybe 04:32
I look to myself to find the answers, but there’s nothing inside The sun has set and I’m left as the evening sea subsides. The lightness reflects the darkness that sent me into hiding And my heart swells up with the emptiness that makes it harder. The anchor’s in place Nothing here is safe There’s nothing left to chase now. Maybe I will live to find another dream inside my mind And if I could see through someones eyes besides mine, I’d be all right. Maybe it’s not anything that I can do Or maybe it’s something that’s more than me and you Or maybe it’s something that I should have said Or maybe it’s something that I will never get right. I look to the sky to find protection, but the rain clouds my mind And the morning comes and I am numb and there’s nothing left to hide. You can’t forget the defining moments in your life And the art in your eyes, will never be anything that I like. The anchor’s in place Nothing here is safe There’s nothing left to chase now. Maybe I will live to find another dream inside my mind And if I could see through someones eyes besides mine, I’d be all right. Maybe it’s not anything that I can do Or maybe it’s something that’s more than me and you Or maybe it’s something that I should have said Or maybe it’s something that I will never get right Right, I'll be alright, I’m fine, fine, I’ll be alright, I’m fine.

When I Could 04:28
I believe in memories and the dreams that are in my heart And you can say that everything is better from afar. But when you listen to yourself, you find out what it is that you want, And I know it will be okay. Will I ever see you again? ‘Cause I’m stuck here, remembering And I can’t find anything to hold on to And I think about the things that were said, and I know we all have regrets I tried every day to let you know when I could. I believe in doing what you choose and how to make your mark And people say with anything that you won’t know unless you start. Would you listen to yourself, you’ll find out what it is that you want I know it will be okay. Will I ever see you again? ‘Cause I’m stuck here, remembering And I can’t find anything to hold on to. And I think about the things that were said, and I know we all have regrets I tried every day to let you know when I could. Life can go round and round again And you don’t know until it ends And everything happens for a reason, you say. Will I ever see you again? ‘Cause I’m stuck here, remembering And I can’t find anything to hold on to. And I think about the things that were said, and I know we all have regrets I tried every day to let you know when I could.

What We Were 03:03
I’ve been working from 9 to 5 now, some days I work until 10. And I don’t know what I’m gonna do if I have to go through a day like this again I got my Johnny on the counter, it’s been helping me here for weeks. You can always find me in the dark out back ‘cause I always go there just to think About us and what we were, I think about us, when it was. So maybe tomorrow I’ll go walking in the rain ‘Cause I don’t need somebody to tell me it’s okay. And if love is nothing more than a word we said I will always think of you, anyways, anyway. I know it’s not forever, at least that’s what I said And I really thought that it was true, but all this time has seemed to pass. You started looking to another, to get you through the weeks But you can still find me in the dark out back, ‘cause I always go there just to think About us, and what we were, I think about us, when it was. So maybe tomorrow I’ll go walking in the rain ‘Cause I don’t need somebody to tell me it’s okay. And if love is nothing more than a word we said I will always think of you, anyways, anyway. Thinking about what we were, whatever it was

Let It Go 04:39
Sometimes I think of my dreams
 and I get caught up in the things I want to be
 and sometimes I need to step back
 and let these things up on my head roll off my back.
 So meet me on the corner in 10
 and we can walk on through those city streets again.
 Meet me on the corner in 10
 and we can walk on through those winding roads again.

 ‘Cause in my life there’s wrong and right
 seasons change and time goes by
 and there were nights we all realized
 the way we lived was not real life. But who am I to remember 
I need to know, I need to know for sure
 maybe I should surrender,
 just let it go for good.
 Sometimes I think that it’s me
 ‘Cause no one out there sees the things I dream. 
And sometimes I think it won’t last
 I don’t want to lose the things I know I won’t get back. 

So I go to that corner at 10 and I hope that I can find my way again.
 I go to that corner at 10 but I know it will never be the same again.
 ‘Cause in my life there’s wrong and right,
seasons change and time goes by. And there were nights we all realized
the way we lived was not real life.
 But who am I to remember? 
I need to know, I need to know for sure.
 Maybe I should surrender, 
just let it go for good.

 Lying in the dark one night I tried to find my way back 
But I lost myself inside those streets, I never thought I’d say it
 Can you help me now, am I too far gone, do you think I’m gonna make it back home?
 I don’t know, but I hope, but I don’t know.

I was making my way to the New York line, Trying to forget what I left behind. When there are too many things that are on your mind You know what you know and you don’t ask why. ‘Cause it takes time, time, time, it takes time to get it right. There are all these places I’ve called home, Many of them I don’t think of no more And there are all these people that I once knew And I didn’t know what to say when I saw you, no It just takes time, time, time, time. It takes time to let them know. ‘Cause it’s love we should be living for, you never know ‘till its gone for good. And it’s life we should be living more, we can’t keep go on going as we were. After everyone has come and gone, and I think about you as I head home, I hope you know that you’re not alone. Next time I won’t let it take so long.

By My Side 04:25
Every time, I look to you When I don’t know what to do And I hope, that you know When I’m thinking about what could have been When I’m thinking about everything And I know, that I don’t When the world around me seems to change When it does those things we can’t explain You always keep me going. When I’m stuck inside that same old place, You see that look on my face When I just can’t let it go That’s when you say you love me again And that you’re on my side And I’ll be alright. Tell me again, that there’s no place I should hide When you’re by my side. With everything that I go through Every time you go there too And I know it gets hard You can hear the sound of my voice From a room away, change its course, You know, when something’s wrong. Life finds a way to take its toll We all have nights we feel alone But please, don’t let go. We’ll take each day as it comes The road is long, we’ve just begun. I’ll always look to you. That’s when you say you love me again. And that you’re on my side, And I’ll be alright. Tell me again, that there’s no place I should hide When you’re by my side. With this love you’ve given me, more and more each day, I find a way, to make it through the day (today) With this love I’m giving you, more and more each day, I hope you always find a way to stay.

Untitled 03:35
When you went away, I never lost your face. They tell me time will heal, but I’m still about to break And you don’t seem to care, maybe I care too much But I was counting down the days until I could see you again. So what do you do when you’re all alone in life? There’s nobody out there to make you feel alright And time keeps slowly slipping away, it’s moving to slow And I can’t wait for you. It’s hard to let you go, but why should I wait? It’s like you don’t even know that I was waiting here Maybe it’s just me and I worry way too much And I can’t change my mind cause I don’t need this. So what do you do when you’re all alone in life? There’s nobody out there to make you feel alright And time keeps slowly slipping away, it’s moving too slow And I can’t wait for you.

Love is not a game you should play with anymore Because it came and it went, and now you’re left like before. Every time you say its okay, move along But you’re in a place, you see a face, you think of her, and it’s gone. Would you let me in, if only for the night? You can tell me again, everything that’s going through your mind. ‘Cause life goes around, goes around and around And sometimes it will get you down And I should know, and you should know by now, We’re never ever gonna give up, we’re gonna make it out. Life is not a game we can play with anymore ‘Cause in a day, it can change, and leave you left on the floor. And everyone has said, it’s not the same, we’ve heard before Either way, I’m gonna say that I love you, even more. Would you let me in, if only for the night? You can tell me again, everything that’s going through your mind ‘Cause life goes around, goes around and around And sometimes it will get you down And I should know, and you should know by now, We’re never ever gonna give up, we’re gonna make it out.

Take a walk on down the road Where I’m going I’ll never know Maybe tomorrow we can go. Somewhere across the midnight sky I look at the stars, the city lights So far away from what’s felt right So I breathe, ‘cause I know that we made it okay And tomorrow will bring a new day And some things will never change. And everything’s lost from way up here We walk for miles to disappear. But how do we find our way back there? Staring down the world below There are too many things I still don’t know. Don’t think I’ll ever let them go, just let them go. And I breathe, ‘cause I know that we made it okay And tomorrow will bring a new day And some things will never change. And even if you don’t think of me, I’m thinking about you And every time it pulls at me, does it pull the same at you, too? Every time I go away there’s the thought of some place But I know I’m not that far away far away far away from you Far away far away far away from you

Tonight 05:33
Tonight just lay here with me, we don’t have to sleep. Let’s talk all night and leave everything behind And I feel you next to me, like the wind blowing in the trees That sound puts me at ease. And it’s not that I’m afraid, I just want to stay And lie here next to you, please don’t make me move. And you were there for me, and I was there for you And I’ll stay until you sleep, I’ll be the one to watch over you, Tonight. And I’m trying to leave, as you lay next to me And I’m trying to be quiet, so I can let you be And I walk home in the dark, I take the path near the water And now you’re far away, don’t worry, I’ll be okay. And it’s not that I’m afraid, I just want to stay And lie here next to you, please don’t make me move. And you were there for me, and I was there for you And I’ll stay until you sleep, I’ll be the one to watch over you, Tonight. Tonight, just lay here with me, we don’t have to sleep Let’s talk all night and leave everything behind.
11.
Every time you look into these eyes, what do you see? See, I don’t believe that there’s nothing there that shouldn’t be. And from the other side is a troubled mind in front of me In a different life, tell me how you wish it would be. ‘Cause love to me, you blow me away And I wish that you could see That I can pick you up when you’ve fallen down When you need help from a friend When you’re too far gone and you don’t know how I’m going to be there with you until the end. Every time we talk, I don’t know how or what to say And I don’t know why, sometimes life has to be this way. But I’m here tonight, here tomorrow, here every day So dry those eyes, I promise it will be okay. ‘Cause love to me, you blow me away And I wish that you could see That I can pick you up, when you’ve fallen down When you need help from a friend When you’re too far gone and you don’t know how I’m gonna be there with you until the end.
