Pedestal 03:12
Tell me how it feels to be somebody's true love Tell me how it feels to be put first Tell me how it feels to take a heart that's been bruised and scuffed And make it even worse I give you everything and you take it I'm sitting back waiting for you to appreciate it Tell me what it's like to be on a pedestal looking down on me Tell me what it's like to make someone feel so small Then turn around and call them baby When I put you up there, I sure thought I'd get my turn Whys it gotta be the hard way I always learn Cause now I'm stuck down here asking you How's the view How many times can I forgive before its my fault How many times can you knock me down How do I trick myself to think you won't cover my wounds in salt I wanna leave but I don't know how So I give you everything and you take it I'm sitting back waiting for you to appreciate it Tell me what it's like to be on a pedestal looking down on me Tell me what it's like to make someone feel so small Then turn around and call them baby When I put you up there, I sure thought I'd get my turn Whys it gotta be the hard way I always learn Cause now I'm stuck down here asking you How's the view

Take My Hand 03:00
I'm surrounded by people who think conversations are about trying to prove you've got the upper hand I can tell by the faces they make it's outrageous that I've never heard of a certain band Then I run into someone like you and when I say I'm sick of being so serious, you really understand I wanna tell you how I feel without it being too complicated Cause to me all those big words are just overrated So take my hand and hold it Hold my heart and keep it sound It looks beat up, I know it But it's feeling much better now Take my hand and hold it Hold my heart and keep it sound It looks beat up, I know it But it's feeling much better now It's feeling much better now There's no need to go run and hide Cause in this over crowed room in my eyes it's just you and me They'll be acting sophisticated while you and I are making faces and laughing Yeah, that's fine with me I get to tell you how I feel without it being too complicated Cause to me all those big words are just too overrated So take my hand and hold it Hold my heart and keep it sound It looks beat up, I know it But it's feeling much better now Take my hand and hold it Hold my heart and keep it sound It looks beat up, I know it But it's feeling much better now It's feeling much better now Way yay yay yah! Way yay yay yah woah oh oh oh Way yay yay yah! Way yay yay yah woah oh oh oh Way yay yay yah! Way yay yay yah woah oh oh oh Way yay yay yah! Way yay yay yah woah oh oh oh Way yay yay yah! Way yay yay yah woah oh oh oh Way yay yay yah! Way yay yay yah woah oh oh oh

So Extreme 02:37
There's a river of despair rolling down your face Feeling bleak your begging me for space And I can't stop thinking bout How we were just yesterday when I wrote "I love you" with my finger on your back sealed it with a kiss, you told me that, You told me that you'll always feel the same But that was yesterday You and me, we're so extreme Loving or hating, no in between Perfect nights will end with screaming But still we both wont want to leave We're so extreme Your lips on mine, they feel like summer air I hold my breath when you say "I'm not going anywhere" It brings me back to how we were just yesterday when You drove me home without either of us saying a word Sitting so close but still we felt like strangers Oh, I couldn't look your way But that was yesterday You and me, we're so extreme Loving or hating, no in between Perfect nights will end with screaming But still we both wont want to leave We go round and round this merry-go-round That we both don't want to get off of Cause when you knock me down All I feel is love You and me, we're so extreme Loving or hating, no in between Perfect nights will end with screaming But still we both wont want to leave You and me, we're so extreme Loving or hating, no in between Perfect nights will end with screaming But still we both wont want to leave Is this worth you and me? Baby, I don't wanna leave We're so extreme

Burn 02:59
Driving down this road's got me reminiscing back to the start That brand new home we built that couldn't fall apart Do you remember all the flowers in our front yard And how we thought they'd never die The wallpaper started chipping but we knew it wasn't hard to repair All those little problems didn't seem so big right then and there We could laugh off dirty dishes and dust left on the stairs But when the stove was left on, all we did was blame As we watched our home go up in flames We let it burn Kept our pride but lost our flowers in the dirt We let it burn Closed our eyes, our backs turned And we let it burn All our keep sakes and memories turned to ash Even if we wanted to We couldn't get them back All those fights we said we'd never forget never hurt like that At least with empty threats theres something to be fixed Cause now our home is left in pieces and the pieces were taken by the wind when We let it burn Kept our pride but lost our flowers in the dirt We let it burn Closed our eyes, our backs turned And we let it burn

Growin' Old 03:23
Baby, there's something I have got to say I can't get it off my mind No one has ever made me feel this way In this short amount of time Now I know you said that you only wanted a summer fling So baby don't be weirded out when I sing I wanna grow old with you Wanna have walker races, microwave dinners for two My bones will get old but they'll never stop feeling like brand new As long as I'm with you I wanna grow old with you (kazoo) Darling can you believe it's just our second date And we have our future set I see us years from now, we'll be holding hands when we're old and grey Telling the story of how we met Now, I can tell you're thinking we should take it slow But what's the point if I already know I wanna grow old with you Wanna go to bingo nights, the doctor when you catch the flu We'll take a nap together every Afternoon That's what I want to do I wanna grow old with you Oh I know we're young so This seems a bit concerning But oh, baby you're the one It's only been a week and I'm already learning You're irresistible, irreplaceable, simply beautiful, we are meant to be So baby grow old with me We'll watch the daily news while we drink black coffee You'll mumble the words I love you While I brush your dentures clean Happy, we'll always be So baby Ohhhhh I wanna grow old with you We can start with a wedding in early June We'll have four kids and name them all after you you you Make my dreams come true I wanna grow old with you

Yesterday you knew my name You held my hand and knew my name Yesterday I kissed your cheek And it felt warm with memories Oh, will tomorrow be better Or will I just be a stranger again Today you lost my name You looked right through me and lost my name Today you sat in fear Repeating the words I don't belong here Oh, will tomorrow be better Or will I just be a stranger Oh, will tomorrow be better Or will I just be a stranger again Yesterday we laughed with hope You told us all your favorite jokes But today you don't know your name You have no doubt tomorrow will be the same Oh, will tomorrow be better Or will I just be a stranger Oh, will tomorrow be better Or will I just be a stranger Will I just be a stranger Will I just be a stranger Will I just be a stranger again Yesterday you knew my name Please lord let tomorrow be the same

First things first Unless you've got another girl Can't you and I just Kiss and make up You're my whole world and I'm the Only one for you, my darling Unless you've got another girl... Can't you tell I Heard you on the phone saying Every little sweet thing you Always say to me Treat her well, that Easy girl won't be smart enough to Run away when you cheat Fun, you must have had fun Under the sheets with that... Can't believe it's getting to my head Killing me, thinking of when You said, the Only way our love would go is Uphill but now we're crashing down Can't you tell I Heard you on the phone saying Every little sweet thing you Always say to me, oh Treat her well, that Easy girl won't be smart enough to Run away when you cheat Forget apologies, you can't Undo this mistake, why Can't you just Keep promises you make? You promised me I'd be the Only girl in your eyes, those words are Useless Can't you tell I Heard you on the phone saying Every little sweet thing you Always say to me, oh Treat her well, that Easy girl won't be smart enough to Run away when you cheat

February can be Awful scary, it's the Time that reminds you if you're Lonely or not Don't try to give me jewelry, Flowers or chocolate candy None of it matters, it's only You that I want Oh, I've got a question for you Oh, I can't get it off my mind I just need a simple answer A yes or no would be fine I'm writing your name on a card baby Sprinkling hearts all over the front I feel my heartbeat, it's going crazy Thinking about you being mine Will you be my Valentine? I know this colder weather Would be so much better If you had me to keep you warm So I will hold you tight If you'll be my Valentine Oh, I've got a question for you Oh, I can't get it off my mind I just need a simple answer A yes or no would be fine I'm writing your name on a card baby Sprinkling hearts all over the front I feel my heartbeat, it's going crazy Thinking about you being mine Will you be my All my love, I'll give to you Just tell me that you want me to I want to know that every night When you sleep Oh, i'm In your dreams I'm writing your name on a card baby Sprinkling hearts all over the front I feel my heartbeat, it's going crazy Thinking about you being mine Oh, wishing you we're mine Oh, won't you be mine Darling, will you be my Valentine?

By now, I'm getting used to the feeling Of a house and not a home Warm lights through the windows are misleading This emptiness runs my blood cold Oh, I'm running away from alone Oh, I'm running, I'm running away To find home I'll follow the clouds and hope their direction Will lead me back to you I should have know that your rejection Would be something I couldn't get used to Oh, I'm running away from alone Oh, I'm running, I'm running away To find.. Home will always be when I'm tucked in your arms These shivers wont leave since you've gone Did you mean it when you said you're done? I won't believe Oh, I'm running away from alone Oh, I'm running, I'm running away Have you really had enough? No, I won't give up Until I find home
