Start Over 02:54
[Verse 1] If you wanted to start over I'll see what I can do I'm over You I'm over You And I've got so much on my mind Please don't stand me up this time I just can't take it now Just can't take it now [Verse 2] If you can now Does it mean you should? Misunderstood You tell me Go find someone new There is no more That I can do I gave you all of my love And I just can't give you up [Pre-Chorus] I just keep breaking down Just keep breaking down [Chorus] If you love her Let her go If you love her Let her go If you love her Let her go If you love her Let her go [Outro] Let her go

Turpentine 02:36
Take Me off That assembly line My veins Are filled With Turpentine Can't you just help me get back On my feet again? So I can dream Dream Of a better life And it starts tonight First, I got to Learn what I need to Webs Wrapped Around my head I'm half Alive But left For dead So I got to try to Get on My feet again So I can dream Dream Of a better life And that starts tonight First, I got to Learn what I need to know Life Can be so Strange Leave you out In the rain Your fears Try to take control This harsh world Takes its Toll We got to help Others on Their feet again So they can dream Dream Of a better life I'm going to do This right First, I got to Learn what I need to know So I can dream Dream Dream

A life Fades A candle burns out Leaves The darkness that's made If we measure How we fall Back With faded pasts Returning to black Returning to black We can't just keep running away From all the mistakes I know that we made We can't just keep running away Keep running away Keep running away A blur Of life Hold on if it stings Leave A note for me And don't forget So if you can just find Your way home My only hope Is I know where to go I know where to go We can't just keep running away From all the mistakes I know that we made We can't just keep running away Keep running away Keep running away Just running away Running away We can't just keep running away From all the mistakes I know that we made We can't just keep running away We can't just keep running From all the mistakes We can't just keep running I know that we made We can't just keep running away We can't just keep running From all the mistakes We can't just keep running I know that we made We can't just keep running away Keep running away Keep running away Keep running away

[Verse 1] Some people Can just sleep all day I've been trying But I lay awake Look at The ceiling And I hear a sound It comes from outside But it's crashing down I hear the siren Calling out [Chorus] Falling So far now Into my dreams Bitter melodies [Verse 2] Next day I woke With the rising sun That is how that day It had begun I can see the train As it pulls away The people scatter out In every way They're making their rounds Running around [Chorus] I'm falling So far now Into my dreams Bitter melodies I'm falling So far now Into my dreams Bitter melodies [Outro] Bitter melodies Bitter melody

[Verse 1] They say I don't need much I guess I'm doing fine The way I see it Just trying to save a dime If I'm California dreaming I'll never wake to see the light I'll never wake to see the light [Chorus] These words, they mean nothing Nothing at all Can't we just help each other? Help each other Along [Verse 2] You can beat me up But I'm not your fool The way I see I can see right through This blood in my veins Is the same blood as you The same damn blood as you [Chorus] These words, they mean nothing Nothing at all Can't we just help each other? [Bridge] The lies and mistakes Let's take them away And learn that another Could be your sister or brother The lines that we've made Let's make them yesterday [Chorus] These words, they mean nothing Nothing at all Can't we just help each other? Help each other Along [Outro] We've got to help each other Along We've got to help each other Along

Never 02:59
When summer fades And the fall remains A perfect time Memories coming back to me Growing up Worn T-shirts cut Faded jeans were rough Days just like this A day just like this The skateboards and The hills we plan To ride so fast We could fly away We chased the sun While the crickets sung An evening song With all the windows down With all the windows down It will never be the same It will never be the same I just kept running When the sun came tumbling Through the clouds The light was fading Into the night now So I turned around I watched it down It will never be the same

What if I told you That everything you knew Could change in a moment And there was nothing you could do? Because Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in In this life We're worried About how to get ahead The whole time we're running We're just filling our shoe with lead Because Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in From the dust in the mountains To the sunshine overhead To coastal Carolina Where the waves crash instead Because Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in Then one day When we all look back We'll say It's a funny world That we're living in Because Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in Because Oh-oh-oh It's a funny world That we're living in It's a funny world That we're living in

Lies that I told As my life Fell apart Thoughts, they were creeping All around While I just lay Awake I made some mistakes Just take it away Because it's not the truth When it's over Many lies were told When dreams They just fall apart Pieces on the ground We've got to try To make them Whole Drinks That I made They just kept me Awake I was tossing Turning the night Through To fall asleep But I wake In a sweat Now it's over With many miles to go When dreams They just fall apart Pieces on the ground We've got to try To make them Whole Lies fall Like pieces on the ground They're just memories They're just memories

The Crown 03:39
Mistakes They never turn out right I'll try it one more time When I see a clip of you sitting there My face Is painted with those lies I tell them all the time now But I just can't get it right No matter what you say I'm happy for you now Didn't turn out my way I'm happy for you now With all your crowns With all your crowns With all your crowns With all your crowns With all your crowns Time Never was my friend Betrayed me in the end And left me just laying there A life Is fickle as it is Comparison's a sin So what are we doing? No matter what you say I'm happy for you now Didn't turn out my way I'm happy for you now With all your crowns If I just keep running Nothing turns out right My feet keep moving But I can't outrun the light Two, three, four No matter what you say I'm happy for you now I made some big mistakes It's too late for that now Didn't turn out my way I'm happy for you now With all your crowns With all your crowns With all your crowns With all your crowns With all your crowns With all your crowns
