There's nothing safe out here But I'm not ready to go in yet In the dark we watch our shadows disappear You'll find my bones beneath my frozen breath I've walked alone so long I forgot to leave room on the path My shoes are worn they hold loose stones against my toes But there's enough within their soles to get me back What would you say If I didn't come around again The silence won't break We know the tide is rolling in I have no intention of leaving you alone But there's nothing safe Two paths through the same lens My answers would be your regrets I need freedom with no walls but you need yours Presented as you stand atop your fence Oh, I know that I'm not right But I'm sure I can't be wrong There's room if you step aboard this flight I wouldn't mind it if you came along What would you say If I didn't come around again The silence won't break We know the tide is rolling in I have no intention of leaving you alone But there's nothing safe There's nothing safe out here but I'm not ready to go in yet Take my hand we'll hit the road At the first light You'll be by my side from the very first step

Miss Me 03:28
Haven't seen the floor in a week Its' covered with bits of newspaper strewn about my feet And I've been searching for a sign that I dare not speak I have seen your face as my own The one I have known as I have grown And it hurts cause you could be so much more I believe But you don't want to go ahead with me I haven't seen your face in awhile The memory won't fade, no it just grows so loud If you don't see my face in awhile Will you learn to miss, to miss me Done being a slave to what you say You hold me close, you keep me low And now you're pushing me away You want to keep me, keep me But keep me safe Don't keep me guessing when you'll be going away I haven't seen your face in awhile The memory won't fade, no it just grows so loud If you don't see my face in awhile Will you learn to miss, to miss me Oh, will you learn to miss me I don't want to let you go Been filling my mind for far too long I'm just waiting 'til you go, until you go Oh, there you go, you've gone and let me go again I haven't seen your face in awhile The memory won't fade, no it just grows so loud If you don't see my face in awhile Will you learn to miss, to miss me Oh, will you learn to miss, to miss me Oh, will you learn to miss me Haven't seen your face in a week

I've been hitting dead ends I've been losing my friends 'cause I won't answer their call Every conversation filled with the same heavy words I just can't hear anymore No, anymore You've been filling my head Taking up all the space better thoughts could go Now it all depends No, it's fine you don't want to leave you just Don't want to hold me anymore No, don't want to hold me anymore My head was full of good intentions My heart, heavy as it got I swear I only had good intentions At the start You've been picking me up Push me down but yours is the only hand I want Keep me in debt Pay you back all I have but we will never be even No, we'll never be even My head was full of good intentions My heart, heavy as it got I swear I only had good intentions At the start At the start At the start My head was full of good intentions My heart, heavy as it got I swear I only had good intentions My head was full of good intentions My heart, heavy as it got I swear I only had good intentions But that was at the start That was at the start

Oh, I remember Clear nights in Arizona Looking up with your telescope Before the winds came Took me out to California And to the grey skies up the West Coast Now I've seen so many faces come and go Loved so many homes that I couldn't call my own Still sometimes my problems feel so damn large Without you, when I can't see the stars You promised me through your eyes That we would stay by each other's side But you were just a setting sun, another satellite Burning up, falling quickly out of sight As the time goes I forget we've passed the end And my thoughts begin to fill the empty space Oh, I am drifting Steady hand and steady hope The abyss is feeling better everyday Now I've seen so many faces come and go Loved so many homes that I couldn't call my own Still sometimes my problems feel so damn large Without you, when I can't see the stars Promise me that you'll wait If not at our corner, then at the final gate If now we are walking parallel lines Consider this the sincerest of goodbyes 'Cause I'm just another face to come and go Just another home that you couldn't call your own Wonder if you miss me and where you are On these nights when I can't see the stars

Let Me 04:51
You say you need a good reason To figure this out Oh, if nothing is changing then why should I have to change now? Sometimes the words aren't so easily said But if no one is listening, what power do they have? Oh, I have heard your voice The most the beautiful sound against the noise You say you're not sleeping you start to fade Oh, let me be your reason Let me ask you to stay Oh let me be your reason To sleep through the night Count down on your fingers And I'll just hold on more tightly You ask when will the storm pass I don't know Just let me be your reason Let me take you home I need a distraction, I need some relief Oh, cause smoking and aspirin and whiskey won't cure this disease I just need a sign to vanquish my doubt Oh, cause hoping and praying ain't working What can I do now Oh, I have heard your voice The most the beautiful sound against the noise You say you're not sleeping you start to fade Oh, let me be your reason Let me ask you to stay Oh let me be your reason To sleep through the night Count down on your fingers And I'll just hold on more tightly You ask when will the storm pass I don't know Just let me be your reason Let me take you home You say you're not sleeping Well I'm not leaving x3 I'm not sleeping if you're not sleeping tonight So let me be your reason To sleep through the night Count down on your fingers And I'll just hold on more tightly You ask when will the storm pass I don't know Just let me be your reason Let me take you home

I can't sleep, I wonder if I'll make it Through the night with all the pills I've taken Just to make this headache go away I know what you're trying to do You're trying to forget, forget you ever knew This nuisance that's been hanging on your mind It's getting too late To fix what we've broke If it's unfixable, I just tell myself to Go to sleep All these pages I thought I'd fill by now Clutter up my mind with all the stories how I wish I could forget what I've begun Always doing right, right by someone else Doesn't help at night when I find I'm by myself And my worst enemy is the sun It's getting too late To fix what we've broke If it's unfixable I just tell myself to go And nothing will go as perfectly As these wishes unfold in my dreams But I'll learn to take it as it is And as you are I can't sleep and morning's coming fast Again I've been too hung up on the past I need to learn to let these things go These scars I know they'll heal But it's hard to believe when they're all you feel And you've not one dream to keep them off your mind If it's getting too late To fix what we've broke Nothing's unfixable If only I could go to sleep
