Note To Self
03:11

Just think we've come this far without forgetting who we are
We've crossed the border between lost and found
Now our feet are off the ground but our heads are still below the clouds
Maybe if we truly believed then we could see everything and anything we could ever be
So take me by the hand and I'll melt into your words
They built me up from the bottom
You're the one I trust to take me here and put me there
You know exactly where to go
So this is my note to self
You got it all figured out
We locked the past up and threw away the key
A closet full of memories that still come back to haunt me
Now we're facing forward and we're not looking back
There are bigger brighter things that we have left to see
So now let's run away from everything
Everything we've ever known
So take me by the hand and I'll melt into your words
They built me up from the bottom
You're the one I trust to take me here and put me there
You know exactly where to go
So this is my note to self
You got it all figured out
I've watched you fall and I've watched you break
But then you rose from pure nothing
I've watched you save your own life more than one time
Not to mention mine
So take me by the hand and I'll melt into your words
They built me up from the bottom
You're the one I trust to take me here and put me there
You know exactly where to go
So this is my note to self
You got it all figured out

Walls

Consumed by the night
One chance to get this right
I bet there'll be no stars tonight
The floor is getting cold
Things are getting dark
She thinks, "Oh wait, maybe it's not too late."
But these four walls are tearing her to pieces
She is falling into a sleep
And waking up inside their dreams
Tears leaving scars
Scars like memories
They fade but never go away
Breathless and lifeless
She's already gone but thinks, "Oh wait, give me a chance to change."
But these four walls are tearing her to pieces
She is falling into a sleep
And waking up inside their dreams
These things you can't take back
These things you cannot change
These things are meant to be
Just let them be
Everything has a place
Everything has a reason
Nothing can be replaced
It's too late
Now these four walls are breaking down
She's stepping out
Blinding by the light
Swallowed by the sky
She thinks to herself, "Maybe now they're listening."

I Admit

I admit that I'm not infinite anymore
When you're young and naive you think you know everything
Well I have learned these lessons
I've seen so much
And I guess that simplicity is all you need to live
I guess I'm over it
So things have changed, things have changed
But I'm better off this way
Tell me where did I go wrong
So I'll live with what I have
There's no reason that I can't
Until I find my way with less mistakes
So fragile hearts are intertwined
Tangled in a sheet of lies
Now we're oh so scared to say goodbye
Well I just can't
I can't bring you back
I can't change the past
And equality is the first thing we should see in you and me
So things have changed, things have changed
But I'm better off this way
Tell me where did I go wrong
So I'll live with what I have
There's no reason that I can't
Until I find my way
The past is crushed to dust and up in flames
And if you only knew I swear you'd walk away
So things have changed, things have changed
But I'm better off this way
Tell me where did I go wrong
So I'll live with what I have
There's no reason that I can't
Until I find my way with less mistakes

We All Fall
02:36

What did we do and where did we go
I hope you don't think that I'll come back
Because in all honesty this wasn't meant to be
And to top it all off I don't think it was worth it
Now it's 3am and I'm wasting my words
Trying to write my way out of this mess
It's not that easy and I'm not sure what to say
But I'm trying to explain
But I don't know where to begin
I hope she knows where you've been
What a pretty little lie to fall in love with for the night
Take me to a place that lasts or let this go
Our hearts have crashed
We are falling
We all fall
In the back of my mind there's a fine line between lust and love
I think I've had enough
This misconception of a fairytale has gone on for far too long
The sun is rising and I'm lying awake and I'm starting to shake
I think I made a mistake
And while we're at it for the record I feel I should say you really messed me up
But I don't know where to begin
I hope she knows where you've been
What a pretty little lie to fall in love with for the night
Take me to a place that lasts or let this go
Our hearts have crashed
We are falling
We all fall

Scream just for the sake of being heard and I'll turn back the clock
We can make this last
It's like everything has fallen into place
And maybe a name can be put to a face
It seems like all we do is rise and fall
But I'm not about to lose it all
We have come to far to throw this away
What do you say
No one ever said that we couldn't live life like this
And no one ever said we've got it all wrong
So close your eyes
Remember what it felt like when that song changed your life
It changed your life
There words have fallen with the rain
Combining, intertwining
Clearing the clouds away
Looking up with hopeful eyes I realize that everything is okay
We're okay
All we have is right now and right now we're not going down
We'll stay afloat in desperate times
I can't lose what's mine
There words have fallen with the rain
Combining, intertwining
Clearing the clouds away
Looking up with hopeful eyes I realize that everything is okay
We're okay
