I thought this would be much easier, but now Now that we’ve tried I’d like to make a change to our arrangement that Keeps us side by side ‘Cause every night I like awake and try to make My mind just dream of you I’ve found that sleep Is the only way That I can keep my senses When I’m this far away From you I’ve heard that distance makes the heart grow fonder, but Mine’s doubled in size Don’t know if I can take this too much longer I’m Running out of room on the inside ‘Cause every night I like awake and try to make My mind just dream of you I’ve found that sleep Is the only way That I can keep my senses When I’m this far away From you I can feel it again What I once feared for dead If you stay the night I swear I’ll never close my eyes ‘Cause I can’t tell my dreams from real life.

Thought I didn’t understand where you were coming from Cause I was young But I’ve seen tricks like yours before Took the silence as a sign that you could walk all over me And when my back was turned You thought I couldn’t see But I saw everything Your silver tongue It only works if someone’s listening But when you’re all alone The weight it fills your mouth And brings you down instead Using everybody else’s tragedy to fuel you’re own And from in side your mirrored house You’re throwing stones Won’t look away from your reflection just a second long enough to see The damage that you’ve done Continue blaming everyone You don’t mean anything Your silver tongue It only works if someone’s listening But when you’re all alone The weight it fills your mouth And brings you down instead Instead of painting Crowns and ships A broken heart with cracks in it Please grow up just a little bit And learn to shut your mouth But you just don’t know how Your silver tongue It only works if someone’s listening But when you’re all alone The weight it fills your mouth And brings you down instead

More Time 03:12
Oh what happens on the day When you can’t relate to me Will you remember my name Carried off by winds of change Oh, but we’re not there yet I can see it coming, But we’ve got time. Is there something we can do Trying to escape the truth We were doing fine, but now I can’t seem to figure you out Oh, but we’re not there yet I can see it coming, I thought we had more time Just a little more time I can recognize it’s just a stepping stone I don’t understand why we should be alone This won’t last forever, Despite all our efforts, We don’t fit together. Oh, but we’re not there yet. I can see it coming, We’re running out of time.

Stop Trying 03:50
My heart was So dried up and raw From trying To make you see what I saw But there’s no mirror Big enough to show You just how much I knew that you could grow You wouldn’t do it then For me You didn’t even start Until you saw That I was leaving Now it’s Too little too late I know Exactly what that means I’m too busy To wait for you If only you knew what I’d seen. Your heart was Always in the right place But wrong time And I could see in your face That I still wanted All this more than you But I was tired of working Hard enough For two Now it’s Too little too late I know Exactly what that means I’m too busy To wait for you If only you knew what I’d seen You would Stop trying to show me all The things you learned to be It’s too little too late For you and me Now and then when I have time I wonder what it would be like If I woke up still in that life But every time it feels like it’s Too little too late I know Exactly what that means I’m too busy To wait for you If only you knew what I’d seen You would Stop trying to show me all The things you learned to be It’s too little too late For you and me

Moon 03:24
I feel like the moon Pushing and pulling on you I’m going through phases and stages I’m always changing, but You’ve changed, too. I’m just like the moon Far off, but watching you. I can’t get away, can’t escape it These waves keep chasing, but I can’t move. I wax and I wane But the distance is the same. I thought I was strong, the longer This all rolls on I find that I might break. Promises we made I watch them float away At night I see myself In every move you make. I’m just like the moon pushing and pulling on you. I’m going through phases and stages I’m always changing, but You’ve changed, too.
