Castle
03:12

Let's build a castle,
Build it high and invite all our friends
Let's dance together,
In the halls we built with our own hands
It doesn't have to be difficult,
cause no matter what we do,
all I wanna do is build a castle with you.
Let's build a birdhouse,
All out of wood and glue.
Watch through the window,
and see what the birds will do.
It doesn't have to be perfect,
hanging off our old roof
All I wanna do is watch the birds with you.
Wouldn’t it be fun to see together
Look at how far we’ve really come
Think about how we will remember
The time we spent on everything we’ve done
So, Let’s build a castle,
Build it high and impress all our friends
Let’s dance together,
In the halls we built with our own hands
It doesn’t have to be difficult
‘Cause it doesn’t matter what we do
All I wanna do is build a castle with you

Falling Out of Love
04:12
|
|||
|
Staring at the phone,
waiting for your call
Searching for a sign or something
that you';re out there at all.
Drumming in my ears,
Talking to the wall,
Imaging scenarios where you never left at all.
Don't hold your breath, I'm out the door
I've waited too long to talk this out
Don't waste your time I've turned and gone
Trying to figure it all out now
Don't call my name it's too late now,
I'm trying to fall back out of love.
The harmonies are gone,
The notes sound so alone
But somehow they still sound stronger
when they're on their own
Waiting to grow up,
is anyone at all?
I'm stuck in this juvenile state while I'm trying to stand tall.
Don't hold your breath, I'm out the door
I've waited too long to talk this out
Don't waste your time I've turned and gone
Trying to figure it all out now
Don't call my name it's too late now,
I'm trying to fall back out of love.
I know you're gone but you still haunt me everyday
Take what you will in this toxic little game we play.
Staring the phone,
Waiting for your call,
Searching for a sign or something that you're out there at all.
Don't hold your breath, I'm out the door
I've waited too long to talk this out
Don't waste your time I've turned and gone
Trying to figure it all out now
Don't call my name it's too late now,
I'm trying to fall back out of love.
Fall back out of love
Fall back out of love.

Feelin' It
02:49
|

|
Got hair, got lights, got love got sweat
Got something in common, just don't know what it is yet.
Your eyes meet mine and mine they fall to the floor
I try to hide the fact that I've never done this before.
But you took me and you spun me around and I'm feeling it.
Yeah the way you kiss me has me miles off the ground and I'm feeling it.
Music's my passion, and baby your dancing's my drug.
Is this addiction or is it really love?
I try to tell myself that I don't care.
What really matters is that I have you there.
But you give me that look in your eyes and I'm feeling it.
Yeah the way you move has me hypnotized and I'm feeling it.
But I know what goes up comes down.
But I don't mind if my head's up in the clouds.
Been spending all this time just playing the clown
Waiting for you to come round,
So come with me and let's get down.
So here it goes and it goes and it goes on and on
And I don't wanna be right if this is wrong
And here it goes and it goes and it goes on and on
And I don't wanna be right if this is wrong.

Rainy Day Tune
03:14
|
|||
|
It doesn't matter if it's raining out today
Your warmth and laughter make it all go away
So I sit down and write this cheesy silly tune,
then I'll sing and laugh along with you.
And we can hide away from the cold the whole day through
The rain can come on down like we both expect it to.
And sitting by the fire I tell you I'm in love with you
Hoping that you say you love me too.
I'm short for words when you look into my eyes
But I can't stay quiet so I'll sure as hell try
And as I trip all over this rainy day tune.
I'll sing and then I'll laugh along with you.
And we can hide away from the cold the whole day through
The rain can come on down like we both expect it to.
And sitting by the fire I tell you I'm in love with you
Hoping that you say you love me too.
Love is a funny thing when you look at it up close
In your eyes and the faces you make when we're nose to nose.
And when I hear your voice I just don't know what to do
So I'll sing and then I'll laugh along with you.
And we can hide away from the cold the whole day through
The rain can come on down like we both expect it to.
And sitting by the fire I tell you I'm in love with you
Hoping that you say you love me too.
Hoping that you say you love me too.
Hoping that you say you love me too.

What I Know
03:45
|
|||
|
Sometimes I'm a songwriter
Haven't you heard?
But how does it feel to write a masterpiece and forget every single word
And you break a string and you drop your pick
and your fingers bleed and it's running thick?
And I don't know what I know
Or why I play guitar
and I'll never make your heart glow
And I'll never go far
and I don't know what I know
But I still play guitar.
Sometimes I'm a musician,
Don't you feel the same?
But how does it feel when you trip on stage
and all your songs are lame?
And you drop the beat and you lose your place and you
see it on everyone's face and
I don't know what I know
Or why I play guitar
and I'll never make your heart glow
And I'll never go far
and I don't know what I know
But I still play guitar.
Sometimes I'm a performer,
so you're not alone.
But how does it feel when the power's out
and everyone goes home?
And you're out of the job and you're out of cash
and you know your food isn't gonna last and
I don't know what I know
Or why I play guitar
and I'll never make your heart glow
And I'll never go far
and I don't know what I know
But I still play guitar.
Sometimes I'm an optimist;
Isn't that a surprise?
And how does it feel when you rock on stage and
see them dancing before your eyes?
and the people are great and the pay is high
dance your worries away as you touch the sky and
I don't know what I know
But I know what I want
and I know I can grow
With your help or not
and I don't know what I know
but I still play guitar
I still play guitar.

Without You
02:16
|
|||
|
Every night, eyes open I'm up wondering
When I sleep tonight, will I dream of something?
Or someone somewhere sometime or nothing?
Will I see you again in another time rewritten?
Or am I crazy, am I just tripping?
Lost in thought seeing places that I've never been in
In a world where you stayed, where I could have listened
In a world where neither one of us is the villain, and shit
I don't know what I'm doing really
Writing lines, say it's fine
While I'm in my head chilling
Planting words making rhymes that I can't decide
If I'm really harvesting for you or for I
and I know, you reap what you sow
But I don't really know what I wanna grow
So I'm planting what fits and I'm keeping what sticks and I hope when you hear it that it doesn't show.
---
So hear I am, breathing in deep
While I remember what it's like to fall asleep
In a bed that's as cold as a frozen throne,
Fighting back the urge to pick up the phone and call you
To tell you how I feel
cause picking at the wound doesn't let it heal
So I take a deep breath and remind myself
that my top priority is my own mental health
because a heart's no use if it's broken inside
and we've all got scars that we wanna hide
from heartbreak, or caring too much
or from wanting to feel an old lover's touch
because we're human
and it's a part of life
and it hurts but we still take it in strife
because we're human
and it's a wonderful thing,
that there's more to a life than a wedding ring.
