1.Live Like We're Dying

Sometimes we fall down and can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say 'I love you' enough
Till it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would've done

Yeah... gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye?
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution
There'll no one on the line

Yeah... gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying
Like we're dying oh-- like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
turn it all around or throw it all away
we gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
while we got the chance to say
gotta live -- like we're dying

You never know a good thing till it's gone
You never see a crash until it's head on
Everything go right when we're dead wrong
You never know a good thing till it's gone

Yeah... gotta start
Lookin' at the hand of the time we've been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin' it
Every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

Like we're dying oh -- like we're dying
Like we're dying oh -- like we're dying

We only got
86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying


2.Before We Come Undone

You could break this silence with
Words we wish we'd never said
But I can hear it like a scream
What's become of you and me?
Are we still inside this night
Or am I going crazy?

I'm just trying to understand
Who I was, who I am
But you are changing just the same
So can you tell me who's to blame
Could we put our weapons down
Just to figure this out?

Now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one
Before we come, before we come undone

If you say that it's too late
Those are words my heart can't take
And this night is out to kill
And we let it, it will
Could we both forgive somehow
Cause I'm not letting you down

Now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Watch out, here we go
There's no turning back you know
We can't keep going round and round
And round and round

So now pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I wait 'til you say I'm the only one (I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Cause I know we can make it before
Make it before we come undone


3.Can't Stay Away

I see you girl walking over here
Can't look away
I see you left a trail of broken hearts
On your way to me
I've tried to not let it show
But I know that you know, yeah

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)

There's something about the way
You make me feel
I'm ready to confess
That you take my heart
And baby, I'm a mess
I'm done trying to deny
That without you I'll be alright

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)

24 hours a day ain't nearly enough, no way
To get to know you from head to toe
You know how to captivate
Please baby, don't make me wait
I'm at your door, I need more
More, more, more, more, ohhh

You break me down
Every time you make a move
Without a sound
Girl, you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what you got to say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you

(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay from you
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)
I can't stay away from you, ohhh
(Oh, uh-oh, oh, uh-oh)


4.The Truth

Lying next to you
Wishing I could disappear
Let you fall asleep
And vanish out into thin air

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth

I still keep your photographs
I remember how we used to laugh
I can keep on losing sleep
If you're okay with being torn in half

It's the elephant in the room
And we pretend that we don't see it
It's the avalanche that looms above our heads
And we don't believe it

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth

Stop ignoring that our hearts are mourning
And let the rain come in
Stop pretending that it's not ending
And let the end begin, oh yeah...

Trying to be perfect
Trying not to let you down
Honesty is honestly
The hardest thing for me right now, yeah
While the floors underneath our feet
Are crumbling, the walls we built together tumbling
I still stand here holding up the roof
Cause it's easier than telling the truth
It's easier than telling the truth


5.Written All Over My Face

I always played you songs
To say what I never could
Other people say it better
Say it better than I would
But for every word left unsaid
I thought you understood

It was easier to kiss you
Than to tell you how I feel
Oh and I don't want to lose you
But you can't see that through your tears
You're saying that I hurt you
But I had no idea...

(I'm doing my best to make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am)

Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?

You're not one of my boys
You can't get inside my mind
I'm not one of your girlfriends
Who's gonna see it from your side
What you lay on the table
Well I choose to keep inside

(I'm doing my best to make it
But you don't believe
Believe that I am)

Just cause you say it's so
Doesn't make it so
Singing I don't show
What I'm feeling for you
I'd rather shut my mouth
Than to spell it out
There's no doubt
When it's written all over my face

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we can talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
When it's written all over my face
When it's written all over my face

There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation

What you want me to say that I don't say?
What you want when it's written all over my face?
If you want we could talk about it all day
But what's to say when it's written all over my face?
All over my face
All over my face
When it's written all over my face
All over my face

There's nothing wrong but communication
It's just a problem of our own creation
Sometimes love gets lost in translation...


6.Bring It Back

Unspoken, in silence
Let's stay here tonight
There's no reason to ask me
Cause you know what's inside

Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me

At sundown on the freeway
Is no place for goodbyes
Don't worry now
Seasons will change
Forgive my mouth
For not letting you walk away

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe

I've got a different ending to our story
I know it's hard for you to hear it through
But listen as I read

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe

Take your love, bring it back
Bring it back
Think before you leave
I forgot what love is
Bring it back
Tell me that you believe
What fate has been telling me


7.Red Guitar

It may not be the best one
It may not be like the rest of 'em
But she makes it sound so sweet
The melodies she makes it's saying

On her red guitar
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar

It's been through hell
Oh, the sound it makes
It takes me to some higher place
She doesn't have a clue
Oh, that I love to listen to...

Her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
Of her red guitar

She plays a song only I can hear
The same old song
That she played last year
And it may not have all the strings
Oh, but she strums it beautifully

On her red guitar, yeah
The color never fades away
No matter where she has it placed
And my life would change when I saw
The face of her red guitar
Of her red guitar, of her red guitar


8.Is It Over

This time you say it's for good
You've played kind
For as long as you could
With your head in hands
And your tears on my chest
I think to myself, I'm not giving up yet

And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care or are you already gone?

So take your time
As you're headed for the door
Cause I might find
The right words to say
If you give me a second move
I'm no good at goodbye
And my pride's here to see
That I won't let you go
As you walk out on me

And I say, is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?

I wish I could make you stay,
Sing strong
Take this love, before you go
And if it's all that I am, let me ask you again
Cause I need to be sure
Is it over?
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
If I crawl on my knees,
Would you come back to me?
To be right, I'm sorry tonight
Would you care, or are you already gone?
Would you care, or are you already gone?

Are you already gone?


9.Let It Rain

So many things are trying to keep me
And so many voices try to reach me
To tell me that this is not the way
To tell me that this is my mistake

Oh let the rain keep falling down
'Cause it won't stop me from getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it, don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain, let it rain

I know that this is not the way
That you imagined it would be
Oh, but nothing you say is gonna stop me
No matter the weather that you bring

Oh let the rain keep falling down
'Cause it won't stop me from getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it, don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain

So many things are trying to keep me
So many voices are trying to reach me

So oh let the rain keep falling down
'Cause it won't stop me from getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it, don't care what the skies say
So oh, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain
let it rain let it rain

So many things are trying to keep me


10.Alright With Me

I'm a little pawn still in your game
And you ignore my advances
I turn my head and I look away
But I can't control my eyes are on you

Oh, you're on the run and I'm chasing you
Feels like war with all your glances
I'm just a boy without a clue
And I can't control following you

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

I know you better than you know
You can fight but it's not over
I say to stop but you start to go
I guess that means it's L-O-V-E

I say to look but you turn away
I say we put our best foot forward
Will you believe, come next to me
Oh, why can't you see, I'm begging you, please

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

(Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah)

And I'm knocking on your door
Baby baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please
I keep knocking on your door
Baby, baby, please now
Falling on your floor
Baby baby, please

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me


11.Lifetime

I wake up, put my poker face on
It's roughly the same hand
I was dealt yesterday
I stand up and stare out at the skyline
It's roughly the same town
That I saw yesterday

Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

I wake up and bandage these scars
The scars of my heart
That prove that I'm still alive
That I'm still alive
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
The man I thought I could be
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the worlds symphony
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be

It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
To become the man today
The man I thought I could be
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime


12.I Need To Know

Life's been blinding me
From what I thought I'd see
Is there clarity in this insanity? (yeah)
What's she want from me? (yeah)

Roads in front of me
Taking me astray
Are you leaving me?
Or are you leading the way?
Can you hear what I'm saying?

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

Feel like I'm trying to breathe under water
Trying to climb but I keep falling farther
Will you take my hand?

Feels so far away
I want to see your face
Are you even there?
Can you show me?
Can you make me believe?

I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
I need to know

I need to know
I need to know


13.Heartless

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul,
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
oh, how could you be so heartless?

How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me tho'
You need to watch the way you talking to me no
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna give me back
And You gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't me
You got a new friend
Well I got homeys
But at the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul,
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
oh, how could you be so heartless?

How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of
Me that I don't know,
I decided we weren't gonna speak
So why are up 3 a.m. on the phone,
Why does she be so mad at me for,
Homey I don't know she's hot and cold,
I won't stop; I won't mess my groove up
cause I already know how this thing goes,

You run and tell you're friends that you're leavin' me,
They say that they don't see what you see in me,
You wait a couple months then you gone' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me

Coz' In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul,
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
oh, how could you be so heartless?
oh, how could you be so heartless?

I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right

The coldest story ever told.
Somewhere far and far and far, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
