River 03:14
The river is flowing and with it comes the rain I think we both know that we’ll never be the same If you want it so bad then you’ll have to find out There’s no need to worry the storm isn’t coming now As it all falls into place  And you can’t feel more out of it  I’m trying to find the right way to go about  I’m lost in between my uncertainty and my doubt  But you want it so bad that you’ll never fall down  And you want it so bad that you’re down to sit in the background As it all falls into place And you can’t feel more out of it (I know I know I know)  So it comes with age and everything will change  Like they said it would it would it would (I know I know I know) So just don’t let it fade or let it slip away Just say I know I know I know

Believe 03:39
You stole the breath from my mouth, from my mouth  You took everything you had and used it somewhere else You said everyone should love each other  And everyone would feel the same  If everyone just loved each other honestly You spoke to me in a way words can’t explain I wrote down everything you said and used it somewhere else You said everyone should love each other  And everyone would feel the same  If everyone just loved each other honestly  If you saw me now, saw me now I’d look like somebody else  If you saw me now, would you even know who I was Now is that you crying out to me, is that you crying out to me, is that you crying out to me, believe  I hear you crying out to me, I hear you crying out to me, I hear you crying out to me, believe You said everyone should love each other  Everyone would feel the same If everyone just loved each other honestly

Feel Alive 04:09
Evade I must have ran away a thousand times I get caught up in feelings and that’s why  I can’t stop thinking everyone was right  Living on the edge is never fine  It taught me how to feel again and I  I can’t believe it’s over now I wanna feel alive, oh tonight, oh tonight I’ll try  I wanna feel alive, oh tonight  I wanna chase that high, oh tonight, oh tonight I’ll try If you wanna feel alive, oh tonight let’s try Erase  Everything that you believed before It’s time to stop there’s gotta be more to this  It’s turning into more of an escape  And I can’t believe it’s over now I wanna feel alive, oh tonight, oh tonight I’ll try  I wanna feel alive, oh tonight  I wanna chase that high, oh tonight, oh tonight I’ll try You wanna feel alive, oh tonight let’s try Feel alive, feel alive, oh let’s try, oh let’s try  Feel alive, just tonight, oh let’s try I wanna feel alive, oh tonight, oh tonight I’ll try  I wanna feel alive, oh tonight  And I wanna chase that high, oh tonight, oh tonight I’ll try If you wanna feel alive, oh tonight Let’s try, let’s try

Carrier 04:22
You kept me on the phone, you kept me on the phone  Before I even know, you got me feeling low  But I’ll never forget, just what it was you said  You told me not to make a promise I’ll regret If you need a carrier  Then I can try my best  If all you want is empty love Then why won’t you say it Everyone I know, everywhere I go They all talk the same, and I just can’t relate  It just all seems fake, what about the flame  Everyone’s alone, what about your phone If you need a carrier  Then I can try my best  If all you want is empty love Then why won’t you say it If you weren’t there to tell me  That’s it’s all for now, soon we’ll all find out  We will work together, at least I hope we will Don’t you hope we will 
5.
We took the Q from uptown And walked around the village  You always felt so close to me But that’s when I couldn’t see Up in the air, I don’t care, I’ll be right there  If you weren’t there, you can’t compare, I’ll be right there   So we spent our days in the city  At night we’d walk until morning   But I didn’t know how easy it was To get so caught up in it Up in the air, I don’t care, I’ll be right there  If you weren’t there, you can’t compare I’ll be right there  I’ll be there, I’ll be right there, I’ll be right there  You won’t care so I don’t care, I’ll be right there Up in the air, I don’t care, I’ll be right there  If you weren’t there, you can’t compare, I’ll be right there
6.
We lost track, we pushed ourselves away When we look back, we don’t know what to say  Now we can’t see, any other way  I didn’t wanna hurt you no, I really tried to work this out  Oh my god I love you so, what’s so wrong with saying that out loud  You’d think we’d talk it out but we don’t   One track mind, just a cheap trick  Those drunken nights, distract us from the rest I didn’t wanna hurt you no, I really tried to work this out Oh my god I love you so, what’s so wrong with saying that out loud You’d think we’d talk it out, we don’t  We get hurt You’d think we’d talk it out   But we’d just get hurt So let’s not talk it out  Cause we’d get hurt  One track mind We lost track

Waiting Room 04:00
Don't worry now, get out  They'll call you when I'm gone  You don't have to know when I'm going  It's alright you’ll be fine  I'm sorry I didn't visit  And I'm sorry I wasn't there  I know I was your favorite  But I just hope you know how much I care Well I'm here now in the waiting room  The doctors are coming soon Then all the sudden these thoughts they come rushing  Of everything I wish that I had said but for now Fake a smile until it’s over Fake a smile cause you know we'll be fine  Fake a smile until it’s over  And keep that up when I'm not around   Oh, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine, you’ll find your way out Oh, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine, you’ll find your way out Fake a smile until it's over  Fake a smile cause you know we’ll be fine now  Fake a smile until it’s over  And keep that up when I’m not around
8.
Slow Down 03:42
We all need to slow down If you don’t breathe you might actually drown  If you stop and see the light now  You might not even have to find out Cause it always gets ahead of you  When you think you got it good  Every day I wake the same and I feel misunderstood You really need to slow down  But you’re already blacked out  If you hold on you might actually find  That you don’t have to let yourself down Cause it always gets ahead of you  When you think you got it good  Everyday I wake the same and I feel misunderstood  But I need you, oh where were you  I thought we had it good  Everyday I wake the same and I wish that I was with you Cause it always gets ahead of you  When you think you got it good
9.
It’s always the same  No matter what the day  The same old song  Everyone’s afraid  And all you want is change  You’re trying to be strong You’re overworked and underpaid  How is that okay  Convincing them to state your claim  It’s always the same It’s okay One euphoric night  I sat alone and I  Tried to stay calm  I thought about that time  When my old man and I  We waited by the phone   I almost felt it in my bones  But who am I say Who am I to say it’s wrong  Who am I to say it’s okay Its okay Who am I to say its wrong, who am I to say you’re gone Who am I to say, who am I to say  Who am I to say it’s wrong, who am I to say you’re gone Who am I to say, who am I to say Its okay

Lauren 04:20
The wind is blowing through your window  It's getting dark as you conjure up  The air is cold, your breath smells like smoke But you were all I could remember when I awoke  You said don't lose hope And now the sky is completely black  As if the world acknowledged a life that's passed  But if you're not there to call my bluffs Would anyone care if I spoke up  You said don't lose, hope The night you came you spoke to me You found me in the midst of a dream  But I don't know if I can believe it  The night you came you spoke to me  You said some things that I cannot repeat   And I don't know if I can believe it Not in the end You told me The sun will rise If you choose to believe Then I’ll see you soon The night you came you spoke to me You found me in the midst of a dream  But I don't know if I can believe it  The night you came you spoke to me  And said some things that I cannot repeat  And I don't know if I can believe it Oh not in the end In the end Not in the end In the end
11.
Out the window  It’s much quieter than most nights I could see it  I could see it come close oh I suppose  That everybody knows  They can see it  They can see it come close oh  But I know that I don’t feel a thing Out the window  It’s much brighter than most nights I could see it  I could feel it come close oh Come to know  It isn’t that simple  You can’t see it  And all you want is to know   That even if you don’t think  That you could feel a thing You can come and find me  And I won’t say a thing (I think that everybody knows, I think that they all know it) You know what will happen  When you don’t feel a thing (I think that everybody knows, I think that they all know it)  And you know that I don’t  Cause I don’t wanna know
12.
I know it’s been a long time since I’ve seen your face  And every time I seem to get a good look it fades away  You want me to believe but I can’t say that it’s fate  You want me to believe but I can’t just sit here and wait You thought it was all around you You thought it was everything new  You thought it would stick around you, you said Don’t you know that love is everywhere Even when you least expect I know it’s been a long time since you’ve gone away  But every time you come around we just can’t seem to hang  You wanted to keep me around as if that was okay  You wanted to keep me insane but I had to say It’s never really been around you  It never was anything new  It never really stuck around you, and you said Don’t you know that love is everywhere I see it when I least expect  So don’t let it fade or let it slip away  I know that you think it’s all okay
