Mesmerized 03:00
You’ve got words like sugar and Strawberry lips blue eyes You your heart beats faster and you Like to watch me smile You with your country music and endless movie lines I swear you compliment me just to watch me hide my eyes And I can’t get enough of your silly jokes and comeback lines And I can’t get enough of guessing whether you've changed you mind Don’t go just yet You say we can lose a little sleep tonight Don’t go just yet Uh oh uh oh You like to watch me struggle and I like to roll my eyes You tell me I’m too pretty but I'm pretty mesmerized You can't get enough of my vintage clothes when you're in ties You can't get enough of my clumsy words; you say it's all right Don’t go just yet You say we can lose a little sleep tonight Don’t go just yet Uh oh uh oh Ah ah mesmerized Ah ah mesmerized Ah ah mesmerized Ah ah mesmerized I've got words too honest and Strawberry hair blue eyes You make my heart beat faster Yea you like to make me smile

You said you believe God put us here on earth in seven days I laughed in your face then I said sorry, sorry, that’s my mistake You said it’s okay, no you don’t real the bible every day Then you asked me to explain why I’m so dead set on the other way And you’ve got me wondering what’s going on inside in that head ‘Cause I’m not the kind of girl who looks good in a sundress Small town, big farms- well, I don’t know much ‘bout that at all And I can play whatever you please on these keys, but I can’t catch, I can’t catch a football ‘Cause I missed the small town living, they’re always giving, I’m not like you at all So you laugh at plans ‘cause you haven’t thought that far at all And you’ve got me wondering what’s going on inside in that head ‘Cause I’m not the kind of girl who looks good in a sundress And you’ve got me wondering what’s going on inside in that head ‘Cause I’m just a city girl who plays around with the Bible’s words Tell me that tonight when you walk me home you won’t just leave me like you do This time let me in- the story could end with me and you Me and you And you’ve got me wondering what’s going on inside in that head ‘Cause I’m not the kind of girl, no I’m not the kind of girl You’ve got me wondering what’s going on inside in that head ‘Cause I’m not the kind of girl who looks good in a sundress You’ve got me wondering what’s going on inside in that head ‘Cause I’m just a city girl who plays around with the Bible’s words You’ve got me wondering what’s going on

Unwind 04:34
He walks and the road follows He talks and the bright girl swallows her tongue He turns and the sun spins around him He sits and the earth rises to him That’s how he looks to me Should I let him see or Would that unwind me into tangled pools of thread Is this mess too complicated to let out of my head ‘Cause you undo me and if you knew I couldn’t fool you Yea if I find the truth I’m scared that it will break me and you wont be there to remake me He walks and my eyes trace him around the room He talks and I ears hear only him ‘Cause he moves and everything moves around him No matter what he does my mind revolves around him That’s how it is for me Should I let him see or Would that unwind me into tangled pools of thread Is this mess too complicated to let out of my head ‘Cause you undo me and if you knew I couldn’t fool you Yea if I find the truth I’m scared that it will break me and you wont be there to remake me Tell me this wasn’t your intention Tell me you didn’t look back to see me waiting Tell me you never meant to hurt me You cant tell me any of those things ‘Cause you unwind me into tangled pools of thread This mess is too complicated to let out of my head Yea you undo me and if you knew I couldn’t fool you And if I find the truth I’m scared that it will break me and you wont be there to remake me Please remake me Remake me Please remake me Remake me

I’ve fallen for someone who’s guarded And I’m outside the line I don’t know what it is about him but He’s the apple of my eye ‘Cause Adam told me not pick from the wrong tree And daddy told me not to forget honesty But I can’t help it I cant help it I cant help it when he’s with me Only this locked door makes me forage for the key, key I can’t focus there’s too much pressure on me And I can’t push when I’m moving through debris I wanna be who I know I shouldn’t be ‘Cause Adam told me not pick from the wrong tree And daddy told me not to forget honesty But I can’t help it I can’t help it I can’t help it when he's with me Only this locked door makes me forage for the key, key But eve gets banished from the Garden where she had everything And I forgot the words my daddy said to me Yea Eve gets banished from the garden where she had everything for free Now I’ve broken the lock but I’ve found the key Now I’ve broken the lock but I’ve found the key Now I’ve broken the lock but I’ve found the key 'Cause Adam told me not pick from the wrong tree And daddy told me not to forget honesty But I can’t help it I cant help it I cant help it when he's with me Only this locked door makes me forage for the key, key Now I’ve broken the lock but I’ve found the key Adam told me not to pick from the wrong tree

Let Me Know 02:58
No, I don’t know what’s going on I just know how to fit inside your arms And I don’t know what’s up your sleeve So hold my hands in secrecy And you can play these games with me But I wont go down easily I’ll let you hear my scream So let me know, did you let me go? I, I hold I hold strong, so when you know you’re wrong Speak to me, I don’t need this much room to breathe You said stop and you said go You said speak but hush don’t tell You said wait now you say don’t Don’t So pick me up then push me down Pull me close to turn around Well I am lost but I’ll be found Found Let me know, did you let me go? I, I hold I hold strong, so when you know you’re wrong Speak to me. I don’t need this much room to breathe ‘Cause it is silent in this crowded room of people And I am drowning in your twisted up bits of words So let your teeth drop sounds, I’m lost in your cathedral You echo in my darkest shades of night So let me know, did you let me go? I, I hold I hold strong, so when you know you’re wrong Speak to me, I don’t need this much room to breathe Let me know, did you let me go? I, I hold I hold strong, so when you know you’re wrong Speak to me, I don’t need this much room to breathe

I never thought I’d see you Forget what I meant to you Wasted away the moments If only I had known it I never thought you’d behave How you’ve been acting lately I never saw it coming Would’ve known to start my running Fast as I can Get away before I fall too hard Fast as I can Wish I’d known with a head start You knew that I was broken Asked for my weakest moments Said those were what shone behind my eyes Played the part of the one who cared Before you left you had me repaired I was just falling for your games ‘Cause when you left I fell right over again Fast as I can Get away before I fall too hard Fast as I can Wish I’d known with a head start With a head start Oh, oh… I never saw it coming Would’ve known to start my running Fast as I can Get away before I fall too hard Fast as I can Wish I’d known with a head start Fast as I can Get away before I fall too hard Fast as I can Wish I’d known with a head start I never saw it coming Would’ve known to start my running

Scripted 03:38
Look at me oh look close darling 'Cause I've been running round just shouting out your name Walk right by why don't you darling One day you'll be calling my name Wait don't tell me anything wont Be the same when you're gone This is When I write my goodbye Scripted run through a thousand times This is When you interrupt me Here’s your cue Its a-a-a-all up to you I’ve never been the type to believe Always laughing at those fairytale endings But this time I’m sure you're not ready To let yourself, let yourself let me go Now wait don't tell me anything Unless it’s that you were wrong This is When I write my goodbye Scripted run through a thousand times This is When you interrupt me Here’s your cue Its a-a-a-all up to you I've been hoping that this times cast right But looks like I might be rewriting the script again ‘Cause your parts fading and your characters under review Maybe my fairytale story just isn't for you This is Where I say my goodbye Scripted run through a thousand times This is When you say you're sorry Are you sorry? This is When I write my goodbye Scripted run through a thousand times This is When you interrupt me Here’s your cue Its a-a-a-all up to you
10.
Grey 03:24
I know you see me even when you pretend you don’t And I know these things aren’t black and white ‘Cause I am stuck inside a grey scale If I could tell you where I stood And I promise I’m getting over you But then things change when I see your face When I hear you play It’s all grey Oh I know these things aren't changing in a few days they're changing now And I know these feeling come and go and go and go around Yea they come and go and go around Yea they come and go and go around And when we walk the city stops at a standstill The streets narrow into you You’re dressed in grey You’re dressed in grey And it’s all grey when I’m with you Oh I know these things aren’t changing in a few days they’re changing now And I know these feeling come and go and go and go around Yea they come and go and go around Yea they come and go and go around When she kisses you so casually I feel it in my knees And I feel more weak with every endearing term that you speak Yea when she kisses you so casually I feel it in my knees And when you take her hand my heart it skips a beat Oh I know these things aren’t changing in a few days they’re changing now And I know these feeling come and go and go and go around Yea they come and go and go around Yea they come and go and go around Yea they come and go and go around Yea they come and go and go around Yea when she kisses you so casually I feel it in my knees And when you take her hand my heart it skips a beat
11.
Think of Me 03:57
Say you’ll stay Say you wont go ‘Cause once you’re gone I lose control Yea its too hard To say goodbye I close my eyes And suddenly you’re gone ‘Cause I don’t know how to feel without you And when you’re gone I count the days till you come around But then I trace the minutes till I’m alone again ‘Cause you’re the only one I’d cry for And you’re the one I’d speed up time for You’re the one I close my eyes for at night You’re the one the one I see Yea you’re the one the one I need Do you know that I’m dying for you? no you don’t Do you ever think of me? When we sit Beneath the stars But above rooftops I’m so close to being in your arms It hurts To come so close But then it stings To be so far away from you ‘Cause I don’t know how to think without you ‘Cause when you’re gone I count the days till you come around But then I trace the minutes till I’m alone again ‘Cause you’re the only one I’d cry for And you’re the one I’d speed up time for You’re the one I close my eyes for at night You’re the one the one I see Yea you’re the one the one I need Do you know that I’m dying for you? no you don’t Do you ever think of me? You’re the one my music flows for You’re the one I lose control for Not a mark outside the page You’re every god damn line I cant erase ‘Cause you’re the only one I’d cry for And you’re the one I’d speed up time for You’re the one I close my eyes for at night You’re the one the one I see Yea you’re the one the one I need Do you know that I’m dying for you? no you don’t Do you ever think of me? Please think of me Hey do you think of me?

Water Drops 03:52
One step, one look my way Feels like I’m speeding down a highway Tell me everything you’ve ever thought before One day one night in your arms I cannot resist your charm Tell me everything you’ve ever felt before ‘Cause I’d do anything to take that chance with you And id fly anywhere if I could guarantee you were there One week and I’m still feeling fine Two weeks I’m feeling intertwined Three weeks I miss you One more I’m sure I will survive Two more a little less alive Three weeks till I see you ‘Cause I’d do anything to take that chance with you And id fly anywhere if I could guarantee you were there And now the white ivory is stained with salt And these water drops, they’re coming from my heart I wont go until you swear that You’d do anything to take that chance with me And you’d fly anywhere if you could guarantee I was there ‘Cause I’d do anything, anything for you And I’d fly anywhere if I could guarantee you were there ‘Cause I’d do anything, anything for you Yea I do anything for you Oh I’d do anything to take that chance with you

Bruises 03:32
Promise me you’ll watch yourself, and tell me if you’re crashing There is someone to catch you no matter where you go I don’t care what you’ve been told 'cause Will you live with these bruises for the rest of your life? Put up the fight, put up the fight ‘Cause I cant stand to watch these bruises fail to fade Its not all right, no it’s not all right Fine, play your mind games with me But I know what you’re thinking no matter what you say And saying fine is the easiest lie to see through when I know every flaw inside and out of you oh Will you live with these bruises for the rest of your life? Put up the fight, put up the fight ‘Cause I cant stand to watch these bruises fail to fade Its not alright no its not alright Take my hand and I will find you somewhere to go Take your tears and wash the pain out of your throat ‘cause Will you live with these bruises for the rest of your life? Put up the fight, put up the fight ‘Cause I cant stand to watch these bruises fail to fade Its not alright no its not alright Not alright, not alright Don’t tell me everything’s fine
14.
Lay here with me Waste time breathing That’s all I’ll do ‘Cause it’s not worth talking to you Shoes on the floor I’m wrapped in your arms I breathe in your breath And count the freckles on your chest Ooo maybe we could be good at each other Ooo maybe we could waste tonight together You sing to me, out of key Crossword puzzles and coffee Please let me go If I were stronger I’d break your hold Fingers crossing Your lips grinning Our eyes lock in And I can’t help but make it you who I believe in Ooo maybe we could be good at each other Ooo maybe we could waste tonight together Green shirt, blue eyes I am drowning in your lies
15.
It took two years but I stopped biting my nails and I tried and I failed 'cause I laughed when I cared Since then my hair's turned red and my Heart's loved and bled and so much has changed but you keep staying the same I still dress up when you call You aren't even there at all I smile when you're there but I Cry when you're gone And I cringe when we hug 'Cause you're too far to touch And I try to let go but you keep Pulling me close You're the shadow that doesn't leave at night Still there in the faded light Compared when everything seemed right You'll always be in sight It's a little sad And I'm a little sorry But not sorry enough to change my mind It's a little sad And I'm a little sorry But not sorry enough to change my mind
