Holiday Parade Tickets & Passports Lyrics
1.Getaway

I take it in for just awhile
like how the coast line tends to smile
On the days,
With the waves, lemonade,
Quiz my heart, I still say,
A girl she came and caught my eye
about the third week of july
turn around and I found one more
I said how 'bout we get away

Strange how we choose our company
she runs her fingers down my cheek
she has a thing for mixed CDs
I think she's growing on me
i spend my days just passing through
these roads that lead from me to you
gravity is what pulls me through
I know shes growing on me

Trying to keep myself together now
Trying to keep my head locked down
Trying to hold onto this love
Intill she walked by me
I said how 'bout we get away

She's like those girls i used to see
in all those black and white movies
She was Georgia royalty
and now she's growing on me
This girls the music in my room
Each day the reason why I move
She's the song that gets me through
And now she's growing on me

Trying to keep myself together now
Trying to keep my head locked down
Trying to hold onto this love
Intill she walked by me
I said how bout we get away

Spent two weeks on fire
Can my hopes get higher?
We'll burn like the sunrise
It's changing my life

Trying to keep myself together now
Trying to keep my head locked down
Trying to hold onto this love
Intill she walked by me

Trying to keep myself together now
Trying to keep my head locked down
Trying to hold onto this love
Intill she walked by me
how bout we get away

Late nights We'll burn our past
We'll live our lives like falling stars
The way i see we've come so far
and hey i must say
step back to where we were
Feels like ten thousand years before
the moment that you'd shut the door
I'd say
I'd say how bout we getaway


2.Turn It Up

Back to the beach where we wasted our days
Back to the days when the radio played
The kind of songs that made us shake
We turn, turn it up
We turn, turn it up
I used to stare at the stars everyday
The boulevard to my dreams of L.A.
I used to stop and hope for change
We turn, turn it up
We turn, turn it up

You say, we run around in circles baby all day
Waiting for the moment to come
I think if love is like a reflex darling
Then this is how I give you a reason to stay

I met a girl with a song in her head
The summer nights that we spent in her bed
I would be nowhere else instead
We turn, turn it up
We turn, turn it up
Turn your back to the day that we drove
A hidden place by the sea that you loved
I feel it in my bones
We turn, turn it up
We turn, turn it up

You say, we run around in circles baby all day
Waiting for the moment to come
I think if love is like a reflex darling
Then this is how I give you a reason to stay
A reason to stay

You say, we run around in circles baby all day
Waiting for the moment to come
I think if love is like a reflex darling
Then this is how I give you a reason to stay
(Back to the beach where we wasted our days,
Back to the days when the radio played)
A reason to stay
(The kind of songs that made us shake,
We turn, turn it up, We turn, turn it up)
We turn, turn it up
We turn, turn it up
All day, all day
Turn, turn it up
Turn, turn it up
And give you a reason to stay

Back to the beach where we wasted our days
Back to the days when the radio played
The kind of songs that made us shake
We turn, turn it up
We turn, turn it up


3.Where Did I Go

I'm speaking up this time around
Cause everything's you lost is about to be found
And I like the way you like the way
I strum on my guitar as you let your hair down
Mixtapes for the car ride home,
singing out the words to every song we know
That's just the way I roll,
I let the feeling take me back
So I like the way you breathe
We're taking it easy
Could I maybe come by and sing you to sleep?

Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go right this time?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go right this time?

Take you back around and spin me once more
It's coming out my mouth and striaght to the dance floor
The music's the only way I know
Now let me show you what I have in store
Parties in the upstairs room,
flowers in the backseat start to bloom
I try my best to stay in tune
As this song always brings me back to
the day we hit the streets
Out of the backyard, running
Felt like we had the world at our feet
And we did

Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go right this time?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go right this time?

You're falling through
You start to come around here every night
I'm thinking maybe we can just unwind
We'll be just fine
It's my campfire sing along
It's just like that
Bout til it's song (?)
We're living like a Rolling Stone
Will we stop? I don't think so.

Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go right this time?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go right this time?

I like the way you breathe
Taking it easy
Could I maybe come by and sing you to sleep?
Everyone wants a piece
Baby, I got mine
Still I'm drowning inside you're world as we speak

Where did I, did I, did I go?
Where did I, did I, did I go right this time?


4.Time For Me

I lost my nerve the day she lost her self control
She swore to me, she lost it in style
You leave the car outside for me to getaway
But I think I might stay for awhile
I tried you once and swore I felt a real connection
Tried you twice, convinced she could change
Third time's a charm, you settled for my imperfection
Lost some of myself on the way

Now's the time, the time, the time for me
Take a step back, take me seriously
Now's the time, the time, the time you see
See me get what's wrong, and I bet you'd agree
You won't come back to haunt me
You won't

I wrote it down to try and find some inspiration
This time around you think we could change
I search the words for any sort of indication
Maybe, just maybe I will say

Now's the time, the time, the time for me
Take a step back, take me seriously
Now's the time, the time, the time you see
See me get what's wrong, and I bet you'd agree
You won't come back to haunt me
You won't

I don't want you coming around (me anymore)
You go without a sound (please stay silent)
In the here and now (I keep falling)
Maybe that's just how I break away
Now's the time for me
Now's the time for me (One more time)

Now's the time, the time, the time for me
Take a step back, take me seriously
Now's the time, the time, the time you see
See me get what's wrong, and I bet you'd agree
You won't come back to haunt me

Now's the time, the time, the time for me
Take a step back, take me seriously
Now's the time, the time, the time you see
See me get what's wrong, and I bet you'd agree
You won't come back to haunt me
(You won't)
You won't come back to haunt me
You won't


5.Nothing Personal

It started out when she said to me
I've had enough of your personality
And that's the moment she set me free
And I'm all right, I'll be alright now

I know you're giving up slowly
Now you're takin' me back
Back to the day when
You swore all you wanted was to hold me
Too bad your hands are full
It's nothing personal. yeah

Before you're ready for someone else,
You gotta learn to be alright by your self.
You think you're leaving me on that shelf
But, I'm all right ,I will be alright now

I know you're giving up slowly
Now you're takin' me back
Back to the day when
You swore all you wanted was to hold me
Too bad your hands are full
It's nothing personal.
I know you're giving up slowly
Now you're takin' me back
Back to the day when
You swore all you wanted was to hold me
Too bad your hands are full
It's nothing personal. yeah

On and on you go you're gone
I'm gonna get get back to finally moving
On and on you go you're gone
You're finally leaving the place
where you had me all along

I know
You're giving up, giving up
And now you're taking me back to the day when,
You swore all you wanted was to hold me
Too bad your hands are full
It's nothing personal yeah

I know you're giving up slowly
Now you're takin' me back
Back to the day when
You swore all you wanted was to hold me
Too bad your hands are full
It's nothing personal.
I know you're giving up slowly
Now you're takin' me back
Back to the day when
You swore all you wanted was to hold me
Too bad your hands are full
Too bad your hands are full
It's nothing personal. yeah


6.Forever

She started me off
She's taking me down for a minute
She's turning me on
Moving her hips to the rhythm and
She's singing my songs
I come undone for the moment
I'm singing along
She turned her head and told me

Na na na na
I could do this forever
Na na na na
Make or break, we'll take this together
Na na na na
You'll be my change for the better
Maybe for awhile...
Scratch that, forever

Maybe I do
Maybe I did and you missed me
Maybe it's true
I maybe the one thing you're missing and
Maybe it's you
I give you a reason to listen
It's all I can do
And then she smiled and she told me

Na na na na
I could do this forever
Na na na na
Make or break, we'll take this together
Na na na na
You'll be my change for the better
Maybe for awhile...
Scratch that, forever

And how long is forever?
How long? How long?
How long is forever?
And how long?
How long?
How long is forever?

I'll get you away
We'll find a home by the water
Where we'll be ok
Cause we are together it's all I need (all I need)
Gonna do this forever (all I need)
Put the pieces right back together

Na na na na
You'll be my change for the better
Maybe for awhile

Na na na na (oh yeah)
I could do this forever
Na na na na (oh yeah)
Make or break, we'll take this together
Na na na na (oh yeah)
You'll be my change for the better
Maybe for awhile...
Maybe for awhile...
Scratch that, forever


7.Change My Mind

I look back a little less
I lose track just a little more I guess
And every time I try to lose myself again
I find I'm just not gone yet
No doubt we fell in tune
We fade out just a little bit too soon
And every day I try to pull myself away
I find I just don't want to
What's a boy to do now?

Every time I try to leave, I stall
Every time I try to turn, I fall and I don't know why
But there's something that keeps changing my mind
Try my best to keep the feelings strong
In a corner up against the wall and we hold on tight
To that something that keeps changing my mind

You begin to hesitate
It kicked in just a little bit to late
And every now and then you want to take it back again
To just set us both straight and
This song it goes
This stage is the only way I know
When the moment comes you gotta let it all go
What's a girl to do now?

Every time I try to leave, I stall
Every time I try to turn, I fall and I don't know why
But there's something that keeps changing my mind
Try my best to keep the feelings strong
In a corner up against the wall and we hold on tight
To that something that keeps changing my mind

I won't give up
The best part of us
When all's said and done
I hope you all come back around to us
We all become
So bruised and numb
When you've got to finally say goodbye to what you love

Every time I try to leave, I stall
Every time I try to turn, I fall and I don't know why
But there's something that keeps changing my mind
Try my best to keep the feelings strong
In a corner up against the wall and we hold on tight
To that something that keeps changing my mind
Every time I try to leave, I stall
Every time I try to turn, I fall and I don't know why
There's something that keeps changing my mind
Try my best to keep the feelings strong
In a corner up against the wall and we hold on tight
To that something that keeps changing my mind


8.Look Out Below (This Love)

The girl that turned me around
And loves me upside down
And I can't describe to you this thing that I've found
The butterflies, sure
Well I've got even more
Than anyone here has ever had before
And I can't wait to find out what's in store

And this love, it's better
It may take me forever
But I, I just gotta let you know, oh
And this love, it's crazy
It's the one thing that can save me
And I, I'm just trying to take it slow, oh
Cause I'm about to fall
You better look out below

Can you taste her spell?
But boy it's sweet as hell
It's the way her kiss, it tingles in my mouth
It's how I know that we
You love those rainy days
And every evening I stop and pray
That you'll stick around for one more day

This love, it's better
It may take me forever
But I, I just gotta let you know, oh
And this love, it's crazy
It's the one thing that can save me
And I, I'm just trying to take it slow, oh
Cause I'm about to fall
You better look out below

And this love's taking this boy, so long
And this love always hits me like my favorite song
I wanna play all night long
Yeah
This love, it found me
Let it all surround me
And I, I never thought it could be so, oh

And this love, it's better
It may take me forever
But I, I just gotta let you know, oh
And this love, it's crazy
It's the one thing that can save me
And I, I'm just trying to take it slow, oh
Da da da da da...
Cause I'm about to fall
You better look out below


9.Southern Skies

I want to see the full moon in the southern sky
I want to take you back to, back to when we felt alive
And I don't know why
I don't know how to say
Come with me tonight, we'll fall without a fight
I want to make a toast to the love that never dies
I want to see the world through,
through someone else's eyes
And get swept away
For just one more day, I'd say
Now I'm done with running away

Burn me
You go and burn me down
I need you now turn me around
Ooh, you got me
Yeah, you got me it's safe to say
I'm done with running away

If I had it my way we'd put the past aside
We'd take the boat to the bay
and leave the whole world behind
As the sea takes hold
Of our tales untold, I'd say
Come with me tonight, we'll fall without a fight
If you're scared it's ok
If you leave it's fine
If you must run away leaving us to wonder why
If we had more time
If I found the lines to say
Now I'm done with running away

Burn me
You go and burn me down
I need you now turn me around
Ooh, you got me
Yeah, you got me it's safe to say
I'm done with running away

The fire hits my tongue
The lightening starts to feel my lungs
And the words I meant to say
are pouring out one by one
I've been searching now for something real
For a way to feel, just strong enough to say
I'm done with running away

Burn me
You go and burn me down
I need you now turn me around
Ooh, you got me
Yeah, you got me it's safe to say
Burn me (the fire hits my tongue)
You go and burn me down
I need you now
Turn me around (well turn me around)
Ooh, you got me
Yeah, you got me it's safe to say
I'm done with running away


10.Tickets & Passports

I'll take a holiday for a way
To where the bright lights burn a little less every day
I'm going to find a place that's just for me
It may take forever
I know forever'd be ok

I'm counting down the headlights thinking
That I believe the world is sinking
And everybody longs for something
I'd give it all again to feel it

I met a pretty girl from the coast of Spain
And as she'd count the stars she knew them all by name
She had the saddest eyes I've ever seen but when she smiled
I'd know exactly what she means

I'm counting down the headlights thinking
That I believe the world is sinking
And everybody longs for something
I'd give it all again to feel it

It's how the sunlight burns my eyes
Every morning when I rise
It's how I'm pulled to the horizon
Like a love that just won't die
And when the sun becomes the moon
It breaks the world I fell into
It's how it all comes back to you
I know, I'm not going to change

Counting down the headlights thinking
That I believe the world is sinking
And everybody longs for something
I'd give it all again to feel it

Give it all again to feel it
Give it all again to feel it
I'll run until the end of the time
The second hand slowly unwinds
There's time to rest after I die
And until then these days are like
Our last goodbye to what we know
We'll pack out bags and hit the road
These tickets and passports lead me home
As we sing all night

Na na na na na...whoa...
Na na na na na...whoa...
I'm gone away, we're gonna find that something
Give it all again to feel it
I'm gone away, and this time I'm not coming back
Give it all again to feel it
I'll give it away
Give it all again to feel it
