Pedestal

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

You Knew My Name
03:25
|
|||
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

When You Cheat
03:06
|

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

Be My Valentine
03:06
|
|||
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?

Running Away From Alone
03:54
|
|||
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
