Run Along 02:24
Just keep on saying it till you make it true Cause we’re all counting on you The party ain’t over til the bottles done Won’t stop til the mascara runs And if you feel inclined to speak You crossed over your talk is cheap Just keep on waiting til the morning comes Til the sunrise burns you up You’ve taken everything so go on (go on) Run along (run along) Cause you, you left me with nothing at all Quit acting like theres a target on your back when youre standing in the line of fire youre playing everyone but we’ve always know you as a liar And if you feel inclined to speak You crossed over your talk is cheap Just keep on waiting til the morning comes Til the sunrise burns you up You’ve taken everything so go on (go on) Run along (run along) Cause you, you left me with nothing at all And now I’m starting to see The way you treat present company You write their name in the dirt But when theyre gone you’re the one that’s hurt And if you feel inclined to speak You crossed over your talk is cheap Just keep on waiting til the morning comes Til the sunrise burns you up And if you face the truth Then I’ve got some news for you You’ve taken everything so go on (go on) Run along (run along) Cause you, you left me with nothing at all You can’t go back from where you came You point the finger but hold the blame Those bridged burned long ago The truth hurts, but now you know.

Postcards 03:29
I’m counting down the miles That are minutes I’m stuck in them But I’ll never feel alone (never feel alone) I’m flipping through the pages Of the places that you and I Will always call home (always call home) And it’s a little bit longer than last year That’s what you said to me Post cards of all the places That you always wanted to be 24 hours til we’re gone and on the road You’re the first person I’ll share my stories with When I get home I keep missing the best part of you (the best part of you) And if you find yourself lonely Then hold these postcards closer to you. (closer to you) We’re packed in a van getting lost out on the road You’ll always be the direction that I want to go So when you wake up will you be there with me? Cause when I close my eyes, you’re the only one I see. This isn’t the best situation, I know that it rings true Cause late calls and text messages aren’t enough for you Cause your face is always on my mind, I’m counting down the minutes til I leave this town behind I keep missing the best part of you (the best part of you) And if you find yourself lonely Then hold these words closer to you. (closer to you)

Morven Park 03:00
Days form from hours and turn in to weeks But please be considerate that I cannot sleep So go on, I’ll be better without you Live with regret that will haunt you in your dreams And pay for the damage that you’ve done to me Cause I can promise that you’ll be missing me I’m taking the long way home through street lights and lamp posts I know this drive seems longer to me But with time I’ll let you go Taking West Market instead of through streets It’s crazy to me how you sold me so cheap So go on, I’ll be better without you It’s funny to me all the similarities, The sound of his name and what they call me But I can promise you’ll be missing me. I’m taking the long way home through street lights and lamp posts I know this drive seems longer to me But with time I’ll let you go Not long ago these streets were ours You were everything to me And now I’m struggling so hard To find meaning in anything (I’m taking the long way home) I’m taking the long way home through street lights and lamp posts I know this drive seems longer to me But with time I’ll let you go

Time to Talk 02:57
It’s too late for me to change These permanent marks that will never fade You can dress me up but I’m still the same So I’m done with you and all your games They just want what’s best for you But it’s the 9-5 that I can’t do We’ll put our degrees up on the wall Collecting dust until they fall And I’ll never change my point of view Cause I feel the same as I used to So cross your eyes and stare me down Cause I’m not your king and I won’t wear your crown So go on stay cold hearted, calm, and collected Cause the fear is running through your veins This isn’t the best time to talk about it Cause you’ve burned yourself and everyone around it I’m fine with being me My mind is strong and yours is weak You can change your words and still not speak Playing on every heart beat I can’t keep waiting on every move For you and I to come to The point of no return I’m sure one day you will learn I’m letting you know Just how easy it is to let you go.

Out Alive 02:59
Another wake up call Filled with alcohol and cheap champagne I’m trying my best searching just to feel something I’m not saying that it’s your fault Cause it’s entirely mine I keep pushing myself forward just to fall behind Wrong turns and bad decisions are what we’ll make Cause our biggest mistakes we face are what will make us great This is an open invitation to say what’s on your mind So put your best foot forward and leave nothing behind When you’re wasting away waiting on your second chances Save your antics for another day I’m not saying that it’s your fault Cause it’s entirely mine I keep pushing myself forward just to fall behind Wrong turns and bad decisions are what we’ll make Cause our biggest mistakes we face are what will make us great We’re not saying that we’ll make it out alive But we’ll never know if we never try I’m swinging for the fences and striking out again I’m caught in your confusion while you play us off as friends We’re waiting to know how long it takes for your true colors to show I’m not saying that it’s your fault Cause it’s entirely mine I keep pushing myself forward just to fall behind Wrong turns and bad decisions are what we’ll make Cause our biggest mistakes we face are what will make us great This is an open invitation to say what’s on your mind So put your best foot forward and leave nothing behind We’re not saying that we’ll make it out alive But we’ll never know if we never try
