Hey Answer
Hey Answer
Don't fall apart
Your curiosity's come this far
And circled an hour just to park the car
Why, the simplest things have to be so hard
Conventional wisdom, you're getting old
Faithfully tossing around what you've been told
Like I never heard before
Don't tell me you understand
You don't
You won't
Hey Answer
Don't walk away
Or leave me dry for rainy days
The sun in your eyes
I'm setting tonight
Save it for yourself
For a better time
Give me one good shot
To accelerate
Its so far off
And I'm running late
My life

Summer
Summer sidewalk
Talking
Dry air outside
And we're all humidity
The topic
Exhausted
Now, if we've lost this
Aint we lost everything?
Everything
Where's the time gone?
Remember
Winter midnight fires
You all wrapped inside of me
Laughing
Smiling
Whatever became
Of all the plans we made?
Tell me,
Is it starting to feel like wasting time?
Is it starting to feel like wasted time?
Summer sidewalk
No talking
Break in daylight shade
Staring out our separate ways
The silence exhausting
Now, if we've lost this
Aint we lost everything?
Everything
Tell me
Is it starting to feel like wasting time?
Is it starting to feel like wasted time?
Summer,
Won't you talk to me?

Jumping Off The High Bridge
In my mind
Falling down
I enter the water that is myself
And looking up I see
The world disappear
The light fades
And I explore the deep
To find myself
To find my place
A strange feeling is sinking in
I watch my last breaths go
I'm sinking in
And looking up I see
The world disappear
The light fades
And I explore the deep
To find myself
To find my place
When the night is calling out
Now go ahead, look down
There's no need to be afraid
And looking up I see
The world disappear
The light fades
And I explore the deep
To find myself
To find my place

Nothing Left
What's the matter now?
You seem so far away
Pushing to move ahead
Then falling back again
Its not the starting over
Its the time it takes
Asking questions like:
Have you ever wanted to disappear for a while?
Have you ever lost your faith
In all of their faking smiles?
A moment lost
Out of place
There's nothing left
But turn and walk away
Where you going now?
You seem so far away
The way things go
Its bound to come around again
Taking this wounded pride
For a drive today
Its the time it takes
Have you ever wanted to disappear for a while?
Have you ever lost your faith
In all of their faking smiles?
Don't ask me why
Cause it was something that she said
You know I wanted to believe it
What it took to take a chance again
A moment lost
Out of place
There's nothing left
But turn and walk away

Return
They say something like
"Don't take this personally"
Then they put you down
What beautiful moments we create
Always kinda feels like
Running into yesterday
Return
If you came to recreate
Return
If you're oh so unafraid
I've been waiting
They say something like
"This may not come out right"
And still you lend an open ear
Where waiting is working endlessly
Where I'm through listening to yesterday
So yesterday
Return
If you came to recreate
Return
If you're oh so unafraid
I've been waiting
Caught sleeping with a cliche
Are you still promising good things?
A place to stay
And settle in with a pretty face
A way to bring these things
Out of that imaginary place
A chance to repay
I've been waiting
