Awake - 2006
“Half Alive”
It’s four AM, I’m waking up to your perfume
Don’t get up, I’ll get through on my own
I don’t know if I’m home
Or if I lost the way into your room
I’m spiraling into my doom
I’m feeling half alive but I know one day
You and I will be free,
To live and die by our own rules,
Free..
Despite the fact that men are fools.
I’m almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It’s okay that we’re dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.
Well excuse me while I get killed softly,
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I’m okay
At least ‘til yesterday,
You know you got me off my highest guard,
Believe me when I say it’s hard.
We’ll get through this tonight
And I know one day you and I will be free
To live and die by our own rules,
Free..
Despite the fact that men are fools.
I’m almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It’s okay that we’re dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.
And you touch my hand ever so slightly
(Girl we’re not ready for this yet)
And the deadly look she cast upon me
I won’t regret, I won’t regret
I won’t regret. I won’t regret…
And I was trying to disappear,
But you got me wrapped around you
I can hardly breathe without you
I was trying to disappear
But I got lost in your eyes now,
You brought me down to size now.
I’m almost alive
And I need you to try and save me.
It’s okay that we’re dying
But I need to survive tonight, tonight
Tonight…
I’m almost alive, and I need you to try
And save me.
It’s okay that we’re dying,
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.
I need to survive tonight, tonight

“Broken”
In the moonlight
Your face it glows
Like a thousand diamonds
I suppose
And your hair flows like
The ocean breeze
Not a million fights
Could make me hate you
You’re invincible
Yeah, It’s true
It’s in your eyes
Where I find peace
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let’s light up the town, scream out loud!
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
You’re ready to break
Don’t look away.
So here we are now
In a place where
The sun blended
With the ocean thin.
So thin, we stand
Across from each other
Together we’ll wonder
If we will last these days
If I asked you to stay
Would you tell me
You would be mine?
And time
Is all I ask for
Time
I just need one more day
And time
You’ve been crying too long
Time
And your tears wrote this song
Stay
In the moonlight
Your face it glows
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Let’s light up the town, scream out loud!
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
You’re ready to break
Don’t look away.

“Vulnerable”
Share with me the blankets that you’re wrapped in
Because it’s cold outside, cold outside, it’s cold outside
Share with me the secrets that you kept in
Because it’s cold inside, cold inside, it’s cold inside
[Pre-chorus:]
And you’re slowly shaking finger tips
Show that you’re scared like me so
Let’s pretend we’re alone
And I know you may be scared
And I know we’re unprepared
But I don’t care
[Chorus:]
Tell me, tell me
What makes you think that you are invincible?
I can see it in your eyes that you’re so sure
Please don’t tell me that I’m the only one that’s vulnerable
Impossible
I was born to tell you I love you
Isn’t that a song already?
I get a B in originality
And it’s true I can’t go on without you
Your smile makes me see clearer
If you could only see in the mirror what I see
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
Slow down girl — you’re not going anywhere
Just wait around and see
Maybe I am much more you never know what lies ahead
I promise I can be anyone, I can be anything
Just because you were hurt doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bleed
I can be anyone, anything, I promise I can be what you need
[Chorus]

“Your Call”
Waiting for your call, I’m sick, call I’m angry
Call I’m desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember
Butterfly, Early Summer
It’s playing on repeat, Just like when we would meet
Like when we would meet
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
Stripped and pollished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
Cause every breath that you will take
When you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes, What’s your fantasy?
(What’s your, what’s your…)
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
And I’m tired of being all alone, and this solitary moment makes me want to come back home
[X4]
(I know everything you wanted isn’t anything you have)
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
Cause I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine
Stay with me tonight
(I know everything you wanted isn’t anything you have)
————————————————————————————-
“Maybe”
Didn’t you want to hear
The sound of all the places we could go
Do you fear
The expressions on the faces we don’t know
It’s a cold hard road when you wake up
And I don’t think that I
Have the strength to let you go
Maybe it’s just me, Couldn’t you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn’t just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
There goes my ring
It might as well have been shattered
And I’m here to sing
About the things that mattered
About the things that made us feel alive for oh so long
About the things that kept you on my side when I was wrong
Maybe it’s just me, Couldn’t you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn’t just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
And someday, I promise I’ll be gone
And someday, I might even sing this song
To you, I might even sing this song, to you
And I was crying alone tonight
And I was wasting all of my life just thinking of you
So just come back we’ll make it better
So Just come back I’ll make it
Better than it ever was [x2]
Maybe it’s just me, Couldn’t you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn’t just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
Maybe it’s just me, Couldn’t you believe
That everything I said and did, wasn’t just deceiving
And the tear in your eye, and your calm hard face
Makes me wish that I was never brought into this place
(I want it all, Don’t leave right now)
(I’ll give you everything)

“It’s Not Over”
My tears run down like razorblades and no, I’m not the one to blame: it’s you or is it me?
And all the words we never say come out and now we are all ashamed. And there is no sense
In playing games, when you’ve done all you can do.
But now it’s over, it’s over. Why is it over? We had the chance to make it. Now it’s over,
It’s over. It can’t be over. I wish that I could take it back, but it’s over.
I lose myself in all these fights; I lose my sense of wrong and right. I cry, I cry. I’m
Shaking from the pain that’s in my head. I just want to crawl into my bed and throw away
The life I’d led. But I won’t let it die. But I won’t let it die.
But it’s over, it’s over. Why is it over? We had the chance to make it. Now it’s over,
It’s over. It can’t be over. I wish that I could take it back.
[x2]
I’m falling apart, I’m falling apart.
Don’t say this wont last forever.
You’re breaking my heart, you’re breaking my heart.
Don’t tell me that we will never be together.
We could be over
And over, we could be forever.
It’s not over. It’s not over, it’s never over, unless you let it take you, it’s not over,
It’s not over, it’s not over, unless you let it break you. It’s not over.

“I Hate This Song”
Speak with your tongue tied,
I know that you’re tired
But I just want to know,
Where you want to go,
I may be sad, But I’m not weak,
This situation is bleak
And your puffy eyes never lie,
Your tears come from inside.
[Chorus:]
Until Sunday I’ll be waiting for an answer
I guess that yesterday’s not good enough for you,
You know that I hate this song,
You know that I hate this song
Because it was written for you
Drown your fears with me
I’m feeling real sorry
Your glossy eyes don’t need
The sadness they have seen
But you’re way too deep to swim
Back up again
But somehow I can’t find
The moment you said goodbye
[Chorus]
This is becoming a problem I’m hurting it’s unfair
But somehow your words,
The way that I heard are haunting me,
You’re under my skin
You’re breaking in,
And the tasteless fights that filled our nights
Are starting to cave in,
You’re under my skin
You’re breaking in
And if Sundays what it takes to prove
I have nothing else to loose
[Chorus]
———————————————————————————-
“Awake”
With every appearance by you, blinding my eyes,
I can hardly remember the last time I felt like I do.
You’re an angel disguised.
And you’re lying real still,
But your heart beat is fast just like mine.
And the movie’s long over,
That’s three that have passed, one more’s fine.
Will you stay awake for me?
I don’t wanna miss anything
I don’t wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe,
I’ll give you my heart on a string,
I just don’t wanna miss anything.
I’m trying real hard not to shake. I’m biting my tongue,
But I’m feeling alive and with every breathe that I take,
I feel like I’ve won. You’re my key to survival.
And if it’s a hero you want,
I can save you. Just stay here.
Your whispers are priceless.
Your breathe, it is dear. So please stay near.
Will you stay awake for me?
I don’t wanna miss anything
I don’t wanna miss anything
I will share the air I breathe,
I’ll give you my heart on a string,
I just don’t wanna miss anything.
Say my name. I just want to hear you.
Say my name. So I know it’s true.
You’re changing me. You’re changing me.
You showed me how to live.
So just say. So just say,
That you’ll stay awake for me.
I don’t wanna miss anything.
I don’t wanna miss anything.
I will share the air I breathe,
I’ll give you my heart on a string,
I just don’t wanna miss anything
——————————————————————-
“Take Me With You”
Please Forgive me if I seem forward,
But I’ve never been in front of anything like you,
It’s the last place I ever thought I’d be when I woke up this morning,
Is it true that you are always this breathtaking?,
And you’re smart and you’re willing,
And my god this is killing me,
Tell me all the things you never said,
We can lie here and talk for hours in my bed,
I don’t have anything to hide,
I don’t have anything everything is not for certain,
I don’t have anything to hide,
I don’t have anything everything is not for certain,
You started to see right through me,
And I’m loving every minute of it,
It’s like I’m born again every time I breathe in so,
If you’re curious my favorite color’s blue,
And I like to sing in the shower,
If you like I’ll sing to you,
Tell me all the things you never said,
We can lie here and talk for hours in my bed,
I don’t have anything to hide,
I don’t have anything everything is not for certain,
I don’t have anything to hide,
I don’t have anything everything is not for certain,
Tell me all of your hopes,
All of your dreams,
I want you to take me there (take me there),
Tell me all of your hopes,
All of your dreams,
I want to take you there (take you there),
Tell me everything,
Every breath,
I want you to know I’ll be there (know I’ll be there),
There’s just one more thing,
One request,
I want you to take me with you,
Take me with you,
I will never let you down,
I will love you now and forever (now and forever),
[Repeat 5x]

“Let It Roll”
The night smells like December
And we’re deep undercover
Staking out
What could be better than all the money in the world
And I’m watching you and I’m waiting
For the perfect time to start participating
And you signal me to stay
But i open my mouth any way
And now it’s over, we’re goners
It’s out of our control
And if there’s one thing that I know
It’s that it’s best to let it roll
So let’s just let it roll
Let’s just let it roll
Your hazel eyes paralyze my senses
Cut me down to size defenseless
I am defenseless
And I know it’s late but I am waiting
For the moment that I’ve been anticipating
And I signal you to go
Where it will take us, I don’t know
And now it’s over, we’re goners
It’s out of our control
And if there’s one thing that I know
It’s that it’s best to let it roll
So let’s just let it roll
Let’s just let it roll
Just don’t waste your night before it started
Make sure I’m worth every single second, yeah
And now it’s over, we’re goners
It’s out of our control
And if there’s one thing that I know
It’s that it’s best to let it roll
So let’s just let it roll
Let’s just let it roll
And now it’s over, we’re goners
It’s out of our control
And if there’s one thing that I know
It’s that it’s best to let it roll
So let’s just let it roll
Let’s just let it roll

“The Last Song Ever”
I wish my life was this song
‘cause songs they never die
I could write for years and years
And never have to cry I’d show you how I feel
With out saying a word
I could wrap up both our hearts
I know it sounds absurd
And I saw the tears on your face
I shot you down and I slammed the door
But couldn’t make a sound
So please stay sweet my dear
Don’t hate me now
I can’t tell how this last song ends
The way that I feel tonight so down so down I pray I can swim just so I won’t drown and the
Waves that crash over me I am gasping for air take my hand so I can breathe as I write this
Last song down
And I saw the tears on your face I shot you down
And I slammed the door but couldn’t make a sound
So please stay sweet my dear
Don’t hate me now
I can’t tell how this last song ends
The broken glass… your moistened skin
Was everything, was everything
And your broken voice… was quivering
You’re everything, you’re everything
Scream at me make it the best I ever heard
Laugh out loud I know it sounds absurd
Scream at me make it the best I ever heard
You’re everything, you’re everything
Heart beats slowing pains are growing
Does she love you that’s worth knowing?
Heart beats slowing pains are growing
Does she love you that’s worth knowing?
(Yeah…)
————————————————————————--
“End”
Don’t let me drown
Don’t let me down
I tried to be
I can’t get you out of my lonely mind
I’m suffering
How did I die?
