Well & Diet 04:22
Your friend walks by You're watching her She's going home with him again She says she'll call you in the AM You'll drink coffee and hear her regret She's got her claws deep into you And it hurts—but not like you want it to Everything is well and diet now When it burns, it takes the feeling out Tonight is gonna turn itself around Everything is well and diet now You're holding onto anything He's nothing like who you could be Instead, she'll toss you in the deep end You'll swim only until you can stand
2.
Some things happen, and I don't know why Like how people in the movies never have the time to say goodbye When the worst things always happen to the very best guys When the truth is that it's just a little bit easier to lie When you throw it and it doesn't come back to you The one where it just didn't work out You don't believe the things you said Or how you went up and let yourself down The one where you didn't call and stayed out all night You didn't come home at all You said you don't want this fight You throw it and it doesn't come back The one where you took the wrong route Where you locked yourself out Where you finally found what hurt was all about The one where you lost your will Where your life stood still You gotta remind yourself  The best won't come until you open up your heart and let it win If you fear the sound of thunder If you feel you're going under Hold tight a little longer Don't leave it up to wonder If you fight a little stronger For the dreams you're hiding under Hold tight a little longer Don't leave it up to wonder But if you wonder where you're going And you wonder where you are Just know you've got forever This is only what you've done so far
3.
There's no feeling quite like watching part of your world die And if this sky is gonna crash down to the ground And trade away my sunlight for dark clouds That'll ring out on me I'll take this as a sign There's no rhythm or rhyme That can make this world make sense to me Then you come along and put me back together You come along I wonder if I'll ever have you Then you come along and change everything Girl, you've got so much to give I've got so much life I need to live with you Please don't move right through me If you don't know, just say maybe I can move slowly, baby, for you Let me rest on your mind You can take your sweet time I'd give everything to be anything to you With you here, I could change I could stand to rearrange my world to rotate all around you If you don't know, just say maybe I can move slowly, baby, for you Let me rest on your mind You can take your sweet time with me

Georgiana 04:07
Where did you go Are you still around here or taking to the road Southbound 65 leading you home Windows down and country radio Well, it's eight hours to Nashville And four more to Atlanta If I skip out on work early I can meet you, Georgiana How should I know If you're coming right back Or if Chicago's just too cold If you're climbing out windows Knocking on his door You say you're just friends But I can't know for sure Georgiana If it's only four states to bring me back to you If it's twenty-four hours round trip I would do anything—because that's what lovers do I'm holding all my breath now Think this out I'm saving all my worst thoughts Keep them down If this is how it feels to love I don't wanna love no more If this is love to you Just go on and say If this is what you're waiting for—why can't I get away I'm opening the door Don't let me stay If this is what you're waiting for—just let me get away I'm opening my eyes Where did you go
5.
If I could see through you Like a ghost inside my room I'd turn myself into a wall you could pass through I'd hold my breath and wait I'd tempt all of my fate If it meant that I could choose to start again with you So go ahead and play the fool While everything you know ain't true Is standing here next to you He's gonna play with your heart And tell you how he would fall apart If your heart was untrue But I can see it right from the start He's a moment you'll wish that you could lose And he's holding you Like a dark sky holds the moon You're never far from home When you're lost with your eyes closed You'll dream that you can run away from everyone But when I'm on my own I can feel I'm not alone It's never off my mind We're not the wild type Did you think that I could handle this Shake it off and say I'm never gonna Find a star or start to wish Knock me down and I'll nose-dive for ya That's the sound of falling forward That's the sound of falling for words Maybe you will fall back to me Maybe you will fall back into me

Better Half 04:55
Growing up didn't answer much At least when we were young, it was cool to be out of touch You find them and hold them Keep them and fold them We all just moved along to the beat of the same old song Losing sleep, dreaming of… If you've ever lost your better half And dreamt of how to get it back To find your way Get back on track You must believe in love Do you really gotta be somewhere Must you disappear into the air If I find my way back to you Can I stay We all just moved along to the beat of the same old song Find your way Get back on track
7.
I can't explain the way I feel about you now I'd walk away—but like a wheel, I turn around I don't know how to not love you What is inside of a broken heart that keeps it alive I tell myself "When the light is gone—there's no one else" I'd stand out on a ledge for everything I stand for Can't you see I'm running after you Every time you go, I get impossible Why can't I see that you and I are through I don't know how to not love you
8.
If I walked you to your door Would you walk me to my car I think I'm pretty sure  It isn't very far But hey, there's only so many words I can say I had a really great time with you today And heck, I wanna kiss you right now So hold tight Move a little closer Someday we will grow older And we'll say "Remember that time when no one showed And we played football?" If I let you slip away I wouldn't be who I am now But hey, there's only so many cards I can play I want to spend the rest of my life this way With you So hold tight Move a little closer Someday we will grow older And we'll say "Remember that night you took the phone call from Chicago?"

Reflect You 03:41
I find myself thinking about you Wondering if you're looking down Laughing at all the crazy things I've done around this town I remember all the good times And some of the bad ones too Missing your crooked smile Oh, how I'll never forget you We miss and reflect you I find myself thinking about you Wishing that you were still here It's never been the same without you You always brought us luck and cheer You brought out the best in everyone You'd lay out a challenge to anyone You'd make it about always having fun
10.
There's a girl who lives six floors down I'm gonna know real soon She's the kind of girl who makes heads turn When she walks into a room I'm gonna make her see There is no one else for me I'm the guy who lives six floors up Just trying to be cool I wonder if she thinks of me When she's swimming at our pool I'm gonna make her see That someday she will be She'll be my everything Six floors down is the girl I'm dreaming of Six floors down is my future love One day, she's gonna wear my ring And I won't ask a thing She was sent here from above And I was meant to fall in love And I can't wait to fall
