That Night 02:37
Oh my dear, you held me close that night. Do you remember? Oh, your eyes said this would last forever. And do you remember the way you kissed me? Oh, cuz I will never forget it. And so you said, "There is only you, and your Spanish eyes. I think I need you, sing me a lullaby." Oh, we were so sure, and so we said – It’s you and me, it’s me and you Safe from the world and the lies Tried to resist but now it seems I’ve lost that fight Whisper, "You’re mine," the greenest eyes Fireworks in the sky Oh, that night That night Night Oh my love we were so free that night, do you remember? Invincible, that fire may burn forever And do you remember how dusk turned to dawn? Cheap red wine and your old guitar I’m no expert in these kinds of things Just know you mean more than I ever thought you’d mean to me You make me happy when skies are grey For all my life you’ll always be my favorite melody This is more than love, this is everything Every wish I ever made’s true with you next to me I’d do anything, even die for you But tonight, I just can’t believe you’d ever ask me to Everything I am is this So seal my fate with every kiss

Do you remember when we met? Just two stupid dreamers then Well, I can’t see, I can’t see How this is where we are now You’re saying words I don’t believe Save for the slamming of the door Now I can’t think, I can’t think How did this go so wrong? Cuz I used to know we were meant for greatness But if you must go, please just hear me out If this is the last song we sing Let's just make them hear it Make them remember the way we sang out Scream, oh If this is the last chance we get Come on, help me take it Make them remember the way we sang out Scream, oh Guess we were fools or just naïve Each memory tastes so bittersweet Just best friends, making plans How can I write this ending? This is the worst it’s ever been And my pen feels like my enemy This whole town feels wrong now It’s not home anymore Cuz we used to swear we were meant for greatness So if you still care, please just hear me out Sing it tonight, let’s finish this fight, let’s prove we were right this time I need you to sing cuz this was our dream – please remember me Sing it tonight, let’s finish this fight, let’s prove we were right this time Before you leave, just promise one thing – please remember me

Eight 06:41
Is 8 enough? Should I go higher? Cuz this balcony is all that I can see. Is 8 enough? To stop this battle? One easy step, and there'd be nothing left to feel. Oh it’s getting lonely Oh with you around Oh it’s getting cold here I’ve got to go now Maybe let go now And then I hear you say, "Hold on love, just one more day. Wait till dawn, You’ll be okay. Just one more day." Is 8 enough to stop my thinking? Cuz my head’s not on my side, it's taunting me. Is 8 enough? Cures on the counter - Cuz there's no peace when nightmares look just like your dreams. Oh it’s getting dark here Oh you’re in my head Oh i'm getting desperate I’ve gotta go now Maybe I’ll sleep now And then I hear you say, "Hold on love, just one more day. Wait till dawn, You’ll be okay. Just one more day." It’s just too much, 8 weeks and counting... As every shadow haunts the life right out of me. I’ve had enough - Can this be over? I’d give the world if you would only set me free. Oh, I’m getting closer Oh, you wear me down Oh, this uphill battle No other choice now I’ve gotta go now Is 8 enough?

Roulette 04:50
Memories ring from these walls Witnessed by silent screams Years have turned to regrets Still ripping at my seams Is this all I deserve? Is this what "I love you" means? Ask me to die for you Resent the way that I bleed Pull me closer dear, tell me it’s not real Whisper in my ear that there’s no one there No one but you and me Kiss me softly, Love, make the nightmares go away Tell me I’m wrong and make me forget Forget reality Who is this I’ve become? Into your hell I drift Tell me it’s my head With her still on your lips I’ll pretend it’s my fault Because you’ll swear it is We’ll pretend nothing’s wrong Skyline still closing in Pull me closer dear, make believe I’m crazy Whisper in my ear that there’s no one there No one, just you and me Kiss me softly, Love, make the nightmares go away Tell me I’m wrong and make me forget Forget reality Oh, this was never the plan Help me, I don’t understand I give you all and you take and you take And my love you betray and I don’t know who I’ll be if I leave You’ve become my everything Playing roulette with my heart I helped you load the gun and I watched you take aim When the hell did I get so afraid? I know everything None of this was real Say they’re just mistakes Cuz it’s never your fault Go on then, lie to me There is evil here Masked by your picture perfect face Still, just one kind word can make me forget all that you’ve done to me So kiss me softly love Make the demons go away Tell me I’m wrong and make me forget

Ghosts 03:47
Gone tonight, I left a lot of ghosts behind me In haunted houses full of secrets that they kept I’m far enough away that they don’t scare me here And I’m too far gone to feel regret Oh, that town’s full of tombstones And they’ve got stories to tell, whoa Cuz I’ve been haunted so long Ripped apart at the seams Said goodbye to the girl I tried to be So I’m standing now at this fork in the road I think I know where it goes I think I’ll follow it back home The line is fine between the nightmare and the daydream 3 years I danced that line to someone else’s song The record hasn’t stopped but I don’t hear it now And it’s notes were always somehow wrong Oh, even ghosts need their bridges But mine just light my way as they burn And someday this will haunt you Cuz I’m the one you set free Yeah, the whole world might want you But the whole world’s not me
