UNSUNG (FEAT. ARETE) Some songs are better left unsung Some things are better left undone Sometimes all we could ever want is someone to hold on to Someone to hold on to It's hard to walk away sometimes It's even harder to pretend that you don't care when you do But like a last resort brought forth by words that you don't wanna hear Nothing's harder than the truth And I've got music in my veins and a little bit of rhythm in my heart I've known people that I lost and ones I loved too much I spent too long not knowing what I want Some songs are better left unsung Some things are better left undone Sometimes all we could ever want is someone to hold on to Someone to hold on to And the way it always seems You surround yourself by things that come around once they go I say the words I wanna sing but never think of anything that would be better off on show Just hold tight to what you love Some songs are better left unsung Some things are better left undone Sometimes all we could ever want is someone to hold on to Someone to hold on to The unsung heroes Dillinger's gun zeroed on that someone to hold on to, make me fear no evil I'm touching the picture perfect while eating a bag of Cheetos I guess I smudge it on purpose, I guess I'm getting frustrated Put creases in puzzle pieces and bleed the coagulation of music written in vain When it's early it's getting late and the rocks I toss at your window are bouncing right off the pain Found the fountains of euthanasia The sun is out but it's raining I'm saying congratulations if maybe you had the patience of flowers without a vase and I'm weighted as floats deflated by thorns in the rose parade and everyone knows my name With binomial nomenclature I'm only a Homo Sapien It's the tongue in cheek behavior, whatever dilutes the taste And something 'bout music playing accelerated lunar phases Nights darker than Bruce Wayne So ready for newer days Stole a halo from and angel I'm joking she threw it away Some songs are better left unsung Some things are better left undone Sometimes all we could ever want is someone to hold on to Someone to hold on to

Permanent 04:17
PERMANENT She wakes up in yesterday's makeup She falls out of yesterday's clothes In spite of the bad news and breakups she knows that life is beautiful Her favorite word is permanent Just like the tattoos on her skin Though the ice is wearing thin she knows that life is beautiful And though she knows she's not alone in this world It would be a lie if she denied it ever felt that way She's not looking for someone to call love She's just looking for someone to hold on She goes out, a night on the same town But she'd much rather stay at home She knows all it'd take is a phone call to know that life is beautiful And though she knows she's not alone in this world It would be a lie if she denied it ever felt that way She's not looking for someone to call love She's just looking for someone to hold on Can't get that song out of her head The one that plays when she can't fall asleep Her favorite band's the one he's in But she can't hear it in her dreams

All the Same 03:49
ALL THE SAME When I was sixteen took to the stage I was an actor in a play She was seventeen and did the same She had the face I had the name She's in love with someone else and I'm in love with someone else but For those months we both felt the same Summer days turned into nights I know the tears that we both cried We couldn't fix it if we tried I was too in love to let it die But it did I'm sorry for the things I said and she deserved more than I could give but For those months it was all the same We used to talk ourselves to sleep These days we barely even speak Two shooting stars with separate dreams Too many promises to keep She's in love with someone else and I'm in love with someone else but For those months it was all the same

White 04:54
WHITE I hear her like a whisper from the past The other half of a love not meant to last I no longer see her in my dreams I guess our hearts have both repaired their seams I loved her once but never will again And it doesn't hurt to see her with another man It's been forever since I've had her on my mind But I bet that she looked beautiful in white, beautiful in white I was a boy, not the man I should have been And everything was on and off again When I learned what it was to say too much We stood and watched it all fall out of touch I loved her once but never will again And it doesn't hurt to see her with another man It's been forever since I've had her on my mind But I bet that she looked beautiful in white, beautiful in white I loved her once but never will again And it doesn't hurt to see her with another man It's been forever since I've had her on my mind But I bet that she looked beautiful in white, beautiful in white

Fame 03:40
FAME Started out with the only songs I knew Slowly learned to play those chords in tune It's amazing just how far we've come What good's a song if I can't face it What good's a face if I always have to turn away Don't want the fame but still I chase it And all I know is nothing will ever be the same Started out with friends and family shows Hope they know that we needed them the most It's amazing just how far we've come What good's a song if I can't face it What good's a face if I always have to turn away Don't want the fame but still I chase it And all I know is nothing will ever be the same Girl you're better than fame You already know my name And the way that your eyes shine tonight is brighter than a million lights on my face Girl you're better than fame You already know my name And the way that your eyes shine tonight is brighter than a million lights on my face Girl you're better than fame You already know my name You already know my name

The War 04:13
THE WAR You say that you don't want to speak I'm trying hard by I just want to see you And you've not been around for weeks You're fighting hard but I just wanna be with you And it's not over, we've not lost the war And I still have no idea what we're fighting for And when it's over I can lay my saber down and lay my weary body on the ground if you'll still be around I've got some words I never said I've held them tight but they're falling from my mouth And I don't care where you've been I'm trying hard but I , baby I just need you now And it's not over, we've not lost the war And I still have no idea what we're fighting for And when it's over I can lay my saber down and lay my weary body on the ground if you'll still be around It's not over, we've not lost the war And baby I believe that you're worth fighting for And when it's over I can lay my saber down and lay my weary body on the ground if you'll still be around

Old Films 02:06
OLD FILMS We sat there, an old film passed us by But my eyes weren't on the screen I tried to hide it, but she caught my stare So I shifted in my seat I had my radio in hand But those movies never were her type I've found that this guitar can well convey the thoughts that tangle in my head So I beat these strings until I find a match So I can put my thoughts to bed It's hard to put her to words It's hard to say what these chords sound like to her

Drive Home 04:10
DRIVE HOME Where did you go I didn't think things got too out of control I was trying to love you the best that I know how We've been here before Coffee with no sugar-coated way to tell me you're not really sure what you want - specifically from me And I liked this just enough to be sad without it And I loved you just enough to write a song about it I know we may be better on our own But I"ll always miss the way that I felt about you on the drive home This has been fun But what am I supposed to do with three packs of this gum It tastes like you, and I kinda like that You never said what any of this meant to you, just found a way to make the end my fault But there's no fault to be had And I liked this just enough to be sad without it And I loved you just enough to write a song about it I know we may be better on our own But I"ll always miss the way that I felt about you on the drive home And I miss the way you'd say the things you said in the car With your arm on my arm And I swore you'd hear a song about yourself on the next one On to the next one I liked this just enough to be sad without it And I loved you just enough to write a song about it I know we may be better on our own But I"ll always miss the way that I felt about you And I liked this just enough to be sad without it And I loved you just enough to write a song about it I know we may be better on our own But I"ll always miss the way that I felt about you on the drive home

Want 03:41
WANT I made you up in my head That's how it feels some nights when I can't sleep I toss and turn in this bed you never slept in and try to feel you close to me And the truth is I don't ever wanna love anyone but you But when it comes to this it doesn't matter what I want You're not the girl of my dreams Just to closest I've been to thinking all those dreams were wrong When all the uncertainty had disappeared I I knew exactly what I wanted The truth is I don't ever wanna stop loving you But when it comes to this it doesn't matter what I want Was any of this real to you Did you mean it when you told me that none of this was real to you And the truth is I don't ever wanna love anyone but you But when it comes to this it doesn't matter what I want

Dreams 05:08
DREAMS First date I hadn't felt that way In a long time, in a long time Picture on the screen Closed the space between Your lips and mine without our eyes Breaths that you breathe in Could have been The best thing I have ever felt You make me believe in dreams again You make me believe in dreams again Late drive Hard to keep my eyes on the road and a hand on your knee To fall asleep Would mean we'd have to keep to ourselves until the morning Poetry in my car Who you are Starts to show and she is who I want You make me believe in dreams again You make me believe in dreams again Pull me by the hem of my shirt I'm so sure of everything You really like me don't you You make me believe in dreams again You make me believe in dreams again You make me believe in dreams again You make me believe in dreams again
