Moving On

You're only smiling when you're stepping on my toes, throwing your elbows
Trying to oppose everything I do with or without you
I've been bending over backwards to keep you happy by my side
So sick of breaking my fingers to keep you hooked on every line
This is for all the lies, every time, "cause you said so"
You've got every right to shut your mouth and listen close
You're only smiling when you're stepping on my toes, throwing your elbows
Trying to oppose everything I do with or without you
I'm getting tired of begging for more love
I'll never be enough to make you want to stand up and clap your hands
You had your chance, I'm moving on
You keep telling me there's nothing wrong, but every time I turn around
You're talking shit, I don't want any more of it
Should have seen it all along
This is for all the lies, every time "cause I said so"
You've got every right to shut your mouth and listen close
You're only smiling when you're stepping on my toes, throwing your elbows
Trying to oppose everything I do with or without you
I'm getting tired of begging for more love
I'll never be enough to make you want to stand up and clap your hands
You had your chance, I'm moving on
This is your wake-up call, we could have had it all
From here on, if you fall, I won't be there to catch you
This is your wake-up call, we could have had it all
From here on, if you fall, I won't catch you
You're only smiling when you're stepping on my toes, throwing your elbows
Trying to oppose everything I do with or without you
You're only smiling when you're stepping on my toes, throwing your elbows
Trying to oppose everything I do with or without you
I'm getting tired of begging for more love
I'll never be enough to make you want to stand up and clap your hands
You had your chance, I'm moving on
I'm moving on

September

It’s been getting hard to shut my eyes
Let alone fall asleep at night
Thinking about the things you used to say
And everything I used to take for granted
Like the way we laughed and how we cried
You caught my eye like the Northern Lights
Ain’t it funny how we ended up this way?
Your words surround me, fill me up
And remind me I’m not enough
That you need more than my love
To make you happy
So say that I’ll never change
Does it make you feel any better to know my love never weathered?
You’ve been raining like an April day
September, you don’t have to cry
It’s not like I died
You just gave up on me
It’s me again, can we skip the “how you been”s?
And get down to honest speaking
I miss the way you called my name
How your hair covered my face
And the way you used to
Oh, I miss how you used to
Serenade me, hold me up
From the right side of my car
Looking past all of my flaws
Said it was the scars that made me tough
Now your words surround me, fill me up
And remind me I’m not enough
That you need more than my love
To make you happy
So say that I’ll never change
Does it make you feel any better to know my love never weathered?
You’ve been raining like an April day
September, you don’t have to cry
It’s not like I died
You just gave up on me
You only love me when I’m miserable
You only love to walk away
You like me better when I’m lonely
But I still loved you all the same
So say that I’ll never change
Does it make you feel any better to know my love never weathered?
You’ve been raining like an April day
September, you don’t have to cry
It’s not like I died
So say that I’ll never change
Does it make you feel any better to know my love never weathered?
You’ve been raining like an April day
September, you don’t have to cry
It’s not like I died
You just gave up on me

Lobotomy

I've been feeling like shit, no surprise it's all because of you
I hope you get off me barely getting by
So go ahead and spin it like I'm the one who ruined your life
It's easier if you make me the bad guy
I heard them call you, op room 309
When you cut me open, what did you find?
A broken heart, love, a couple times
And I've been spending hours under bright lights
As you shift around my insides
While you're up there, my head's all yours for the night
Let's not waste our time, so let me say what I came to say
You think that there's a problem with my brain
You're an expert, aren't you?
At only pointing out what's wrong with me
Make this dramatic, make it a lobotomy
Cleanup needed, op room 309
When you cut me open, what did you find?
A broken heart, love, a couple times
And I've been spending hours under bright lights
As you shift around my insides
While you're up there, my head's all yours
You said I'm always the same, I didn't ask you to change
I only wanted to lie around with you and waste my days
You couldn't save me, I didn't want to be saved
But tell yourself whatever if you think that makes you brave
When you cut me open, what did you find?
I think you broke my heart, love, a couple hundred times
And I will spend these hours under bright lights
As you shift around my insides
While you're up there, make sure I'm yours every night

Heads Down
03:38

She's a city girl, what could she ever want from me?
She wants to save the world
I think that's a beautiful thing to do
I think she's beautiful too
Doctor, doctor, give me a sign
My chest hurts, are you sure I'll be fine?
Is it heartbreak, the kind that leaves a scar for life?
Someone help me, it feels like I'm on fire
I'm a penny dropped from the Sears Tower
Falling for you, but destined to hit the ground
I'm falling heads down
She loves city life, she's the big apple of my eye
She's bright like the city lights
And when you asked me if I like the view
You caught me looking at you
Doctor, doctor, give me a sign
My chest hurts, are you sure I'll be fine?
Is it heartbreak, the kind that leaves a scar for life?
Someone help me, it feels like I'm on fire
I'm a penny dropped from the Sears Tower
Falling for you, but destined to hit the ground
I'm falling heads down
Heads, you win, tails, I lose
The shadows in my photo bleached eyes all look like you
If this is losing sight, maybe I did something right
Cursed me to see what was in front of me the whole time
Doctor, doctor, give me a sign
My chest hurts, are you sure I'll be fine?
Is it heartbreak, the kind that leaves a scar for life?
Someone help me, it feels like I'm on fire
I'm a penny dropped from the Sears Tower
Falling for you, but destined to hit the ground
I'm falling heads down

Emerald Cities

This place is nothing like the fairy tales
These people thrive off broken dreams
Can you help me find a way out?
I don't want to settle into their routine
'Cause all this work and no play is making me a dull boy
I'd rather throw it all away and become another lost boy
So click your heels three times, 'cause there's no place like home
We were carried by a perfect storm
We're not in Kansas anymore
Grab my hand and pull, there's no place I won't go
As long as it's you and me
Getting lost inside emerald cities
You never thought you'd grow up this fast
Following yellow brick road paths
You found a place only dreams reach
Find something to hold and never let it go
It seems so sweet, being here is being free
So click your heels three times, 'cause there's no place like home
We were carried by a perfect storm
We're not in Kansas anymore
Grab my hand and pull, there's no place I won't go
As long as it's you and me
Getting lost inside every
Winding road paved with golden stones
Good intentions fed our young ambitions
Where do we go?
From here on out, we're on our own
And I'm not going back
So click your heels three times, 'cause there's no place like home
We were carried by a perfect storm
We're not in Kansas anymore
Grab my hand and pull, there's no place I won't go
As long as it's you and me
Getting lost inside emerald cities
This place is nothing like the fairy tales
These people thrive off broken dreams
Can you help me find a way out?
As long as it's you and me
Getting lost inside emerald cities

Remember
04:02

I, I'm not as strong as I'd like to be
Nothing in this world comes for free except the love you gave to me
And I, I got this feeling I can't fight
Like something just doesn't seem right
I can see it in your eyes
Swimming like oceans, wish I could control it
How am I supposed to watch you leave?
Did you let go or get your chance at something better?
I'm losing hope, but I think I'm losing you faster
I, I'm not so sure who I want to be
I used to be sure of everything, but that was when you were still here
And I, I'm not too sure how far I'll go
But if I burned out tomorrow, would you still be proud of me?
Swimming through oceans, wish I could control them
How was I supposed to watch you leave?
Did you let go or get your chance at something better?
I'm losing hope, but I think I'm losing you faster
And I don't wanna say goodnight or goodbye
At least not tonight
But if you go, I promise on my life that I'll remember
Funny how the ones we love don't rise over the weekend
But they'll believe it if it's written down
Even when I'm not down and out, I've asked for help
But it never came
Did you let go or get your chance at something better?
I'm losing hope, but I think I'm losing you faster
When you let go, I hope you got your something better
I lost my hope, but I think that I lost you faster
I didn't wanna say goodnight or goodbye
At least not that night
But since you're gone, I promise on my life that I'll remember
