XO Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.The Walls

Creep around your body,
Circling like a vulture.
My feet are dragging,
On this wooden floor,
Every step I take is like walking on a bed of needles.

Its becoming damp,
Cause the room is filling with water,
And I cant get out I will surely drown.

Full of holes and pine,
My feet become a forest.
Pillars black and white,
Reach from the walls towards me.

Come with me they say.
Promising things I long for,
Theyll hold me close,
But never let go.

Full of holes and pine,
My feet become a forest.
Pillars black and white,
Reach from the walls towards me.

And your body is life-less,
But you were always more dead than alive anyways.
And the man down the hall,
Says we need less life now-a-days,
I suppose the knife in your back agrees.

My lungs have filled with water,
But I can still breathe,
And I can still see,
Cause there is so much life left for me.
Ill live in the floor,
And in the walls,
And in the forest,
And in the sea,
And soon enough, in the summers breeze,
And every time you breathe,
I will flow through your heart,
And light up the sky as a star,
Ill be every where you are


2.Stars

Do you know why Im here?
I cant take it anymore.
Ive got a blanket for two,
All we need is the moon.

Be careful and hold my hand,
You can put your trust in me.
I never want this to end,
So kiss me once again.

Come with me,
Far away.
Well let the stars,
Guide our way.

The grass seems greener,
Since you came along.
And I cant get you out of my head,
Youve been there all day long.

Come with me,
Far away.
Well let the stars,
Guide our way


3.Race Car

There is not one single person in the world that I owe more than
you,
If I could turn back the time, wed play I Spy literally all the
time,
Cause I remember your racecar, and milkshakes with fries after
the doctor,
We had tales of vampires, Frankenstein, and haunted rocking
chairs and theres no way your leaving just yet.

Ill give back everything I have,
If it means youll stay.
Cause my life is simply incomplete,
If its any other way

And this is so hard to have to see you like this,
I know we named you broke but I really want you fixed,
But all we can do is sit and wait here patiently,
Until I can see your face smiling up at me.
Cause I remember your racecar, and milkshakes with fries after
the doctor,
And I just need you to know that in my heart youll always be
with me.

Ill give back everything I have,
If it means youll stay.
Cause my life is simply incomplete,
If its any other way
And I wont give up on you I swear,
You can test me every way,
But when we finally say goodbye,
I know Ill see you again some day


4.Is It Worth It

Im driving all the way back home,
Cause I dont think you want me here anymore,
Weve been through this a thousand times,
And yet it still comes as a surprise,
When every single answer to your question is a goddamn lie.

Is it worth it?

Im telling everyone I know,
All the things I did to make you cry so hard,
If I could take it all away, I wouldnt hesitate to bring you
back to me,
But like Ive always heard, lifes not fair even when you think
youre prepared.

Is it worth it?

And I dont know whats happening,
Last Ive heard Im losing everything,
Pretend I am the largest city,
Topple every single building,
Whats done is done and Im convinced,
There has to be a point behind this,

But I dont have time to figure it out,
Im waiting for you to take me down.

Im sinking to the ocean floor,
Cause Im not waving my arms anymore,
Down here Ill find some friends, maybe even start again,
And Ill be back youll see.
Cause my lifes not through, nor am I with you,
So well call it even till then.

Is it worth it?

And I dont know whats happening,
Last Ive heard Im losing everything,
Pretend I am the largest city,
Topple every single building,
Whats done is done and Im convinced,
There has to be a point behind this,

But I dont have time to figure it out,
Im waiting for you to take me down


5.Blizzard (New York)

Lyricist:Harlan Howard

Do you remember when we ran
Through the blizzard from the train station?
The snow in New York covered up half of the door
And yet we still would brave it

All we could do was sit practice our tunes
And maybe watch an episode of lost
We slept on the blow up mattress
And talked about how lucky we were to be here

You helped me through the door
That we've stared at since I can remember
I'd watch the city from the window on the train
You can't sit still for anything
But it's out stop so it won't matter anyway

It was early December when the call
From our leader established our new assignment
In Atlanta we tried to make things work
But found ourselves feeling mixed up
I couldn't write anymore

And so we packed all of our things
And headed north for the spring
I was finally single for once
Then tour finally started, we had our friends
And our guitars ready to take on the unknowing world

You helped me through the door
That we've stared at since I can remember
And we knew there was so much more
Now this is life, yeah, this is what we've waited for

I'd watch the city from the window on the train
You can't sit still for anything
But it's our stop so it won't matter anyway
Do you remember?
