[Verse 1]
I saw the end from the beginning
I held you closer than I should
Could always tell the clock was ticking
And you’re saying things I knew you would
[Pre-Chorus]
“Sticks and stones” was just something they made up
To make them feel better about what people say
‘Cause you could break my bones, and I’d just get sewn up
But if you said you never loved me, I don’t think I’d be okay
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder how I’ll go
Get old, forget everybody’s names
Crash my car on the interstate
I don’t think that I would like to know
But I’ve got a real good feeling
You’re gonna be the thing that kills me
[Verse 2]
The lines are blurred, so are the signs
I can’t make out what they’re meant to say
And if I could I would give up all of my time
If it meant a moment longer you would stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Wash up on the shore, are you getting bored?
I’m sorry if I’ve used up all of the tricks that I know
I’ve been hurt before, and I’m not so sure
If you want anything from me
I don’t know what else to say
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder how I’ll go
Get old, forget everybody’s names
Crash my car on the interstate
I don’t think that I would like to know
But I’ve got a real good feeling
You’re gonna be the thing that kills me
[Bridge]
On the shore
Are you getting bored
I’ve been hurt before
And I’m not so sure
We’ll call it an either/or
We’re not keeping score
Signs that I’ve ignored
Well, I can’t see them anymore
I’m sleeping in
Dream of you and then
Slowly losing my mind again
We’re walking on a line
On even thinner ice
We test the limits every time
And we both know it’s the perfect crime
And you’re my right hand man
I let you make the plans
I won’t ask again
No, I won’t ask again
[Chorus]
Sometimes I wonder how I’ll go
Get old, forget everybody’s names
Crash my car on the interstate
I don’t think that I would like to know
But I’ve got a real good feeling
You’re gonna be the thing that kills me
[Outro]

for what it's worth

[Verse 1]
This car has never moved slower
I saw right through the water
I am my mother’s daughter, this I know
I’m more than what you made me
This hurt will be temporary
It’s just all of my love with nowhere to go
[Chorus]
And all of my grieving
Is all of my love looking for a home
And you took me in
Just for a moment, then you let me go
For what it’s worth, I think you were worth it all
[Verse 2]
I know I will feel better
My heart will change with the weather
But I’m not a go-getter, we all know
I’m in fetal position, clutching my knees
I’m staring so hard up at the ceiling
I might go blind
[Chorus]
All all my believing
Drives me down a road that never meets an end
And now I am bleeding
I don’t think I can wear this dress anymore
For what it’s worth, I think you were worth it all
[Bridge]
I’ll give you what you need
And if that’s time away from me
I’ll let you have it
I’ll let you have it
I’ll give you what you want
And if it means that you’ll be gone
I’ll let you have it
I’ll let you have it
[Outro]
And I’ll be sad, but
You can have anything you want

[Verse 1]
If I hadn’t blown a fuse
And if your team didn’t lose
If I could only pick and choose
Which battles I could do
If I’d never fought with you
Would you still think how you do
I’ve never felt something more true
Than wishing I could follow through
[Chorus]
Because I miss you a lot more than I am mad
I spend my time drawing lines down in the sand
Said you loved me before we even began
But now I think I do
Way more than I can
[Verse 3]
If I hadn’t made a fuss
Would there be anything to discuss
Sick feeling in my gut
Hits me like a truck
Could we have gone about it different
Or either way, would it have happened
If you want, call me old-fashioned
Just something about being romantic
[Chorus]
Because I miss you a lot more than I am mad
I spend my time drawing lines down in the sand
Said you loved me before we even began
But now I think I do
Way more than I can

eyesight

[Verse 1]
Nowhere to hide in plain sight
No plane flights
One big fight
No goodnight don’t mean goodbye
Trailing behind out of spite
Try to ignite maybe some kind
Of anger in me tonight
[Chorus]
I just can’t hate you, it’s too late
You’re everywhere
And I won’t be the one who makes you
Feel like a man
Only you can
[Verse 2]
I can’t define the fine line
Where you and I had our names signed
Perfect eyesight won’t save you tonight
Calls are declined and I’ll cry
For the ninth time ‘til the sunrise
Sharpen your knife, make sure your aim’s right
[Chorus]
I won’t escape you, I’m too late
You’re everywhere
And I can’t make you want me again
Love me again
[Bridge]
For the first time, I needed something more than I needed to breathe
For the first time, I fell in love with a boy who actually saw me
He broke down my walls, he changed the game
I let down my guard, now nothing’s the same
It won’t be the same
[Outro]
Nowhere to hide in plain sight
No plane flights
One big fight
No goodnight don’t mean goodbye

you should know by now

[Verse 1]
You should know by now
It’s hard for me to ignore you
It’s hard to believe, but I’ve tried to
You should know by now
I wouldn’t just hear that, and pretend I didn’t
You couldn’t just say that, but of course you did and
[Chorus]
Here is my reply
I also wish there was a way
A way to relight the fire
Or a better time for us to try
[Verse 2]
You should know by now
You’re my best friend and I wouldn’t change it
Not the time, not the place, I won’t blame it
You should know by now
I wouldn’t just hear that, and let myself go
About my day, without putting on a show
[Chorus]
So here’s what I have to say
‘Cause there’s always something, isn’t there
Won’t run out, can’t keep ‘em away
And you’re wrong about me being okay
[Bridge]
If you wonder if you’re on my mind
The short answer’s you're there all the time
Taking up space that should be mine
But I’m not complaining, waiting for a sign
That you should leave, but currently
I’m not getting anything that’s telling me
That I can’t mourn you
[Verse 3]
You should know by now
That I love you in more ways than one
And you’re one stubborn son of a gun
‘Cause you’re still here, after it’s all said and done
But I’m glad you’re around
I’m glad you’re here now
[Outro]
I’m glad you’re here now
Hmm

love me more

[Verse 1]
I’ve never felt so numb
I’ve never felt so much
You are everything to me
I fine pieces of you in everything
Tried to be nonchalant
Tried different personalities on
None of them fit right if they’re not with you
And you know if I could, I would give you the moon
[Chorus]
If it meant that you’d love me again
Or at least a bit more than you did
If it meant that you’d try a lot harder this time around
If it meant that you’d prove it to me
All the love that went left unseen
If it meant that tomorrow, I’d find you there at my door
If it meant that one day, you’d wake up and you’d love me more
[Verse 2]
Had to put all your pictures away
And the letters, the gifts, and guitar picks
All locked up somewhere safe
I’ll refrain from saying your name
And listening to our favorite song
You know the one where you found the mistake
[Chorus]
And I don’t know if I ever can
Listen to that song ever again
Or any of the ones that we loved, because I just can’t
Seem to get myself off of the floor
And I shouldn’t even feel the need to keep score
But it’s like you just let happen, let me break like before
I just wish that I didn’t have to ask you to love me more
[Bridge]
I’ve been broken before, but never like this
You didn’t do anything, but that’s just the problem, isn’t it
Thinking and wondering if I should’ve done something different
But as tragic as everything ended, I don’t wanna change it
‘Cause baby, this mess is ours and we both made it
[Chorus]
And even though you can’t give me the sun
I think I’ll always wish that you were the one
‘Cause I know you, and you never lied, not even once
When you’d tell me that you loved me so
I still believe you, deep down in my soul
But the world keeps on moving, it’s something that we can’t control
But I know there’s a world somewhere out there where you love me more
