Just because We lost our way Still I hunger Just speak up Let it be known Don’t hold it under I was standing at the fork of the road Hoping I could come with you I was terrified of what I’d become And how it wasn’t an issue But now I can let you go Just because We lost our way Still I hunger Just speak up Let it be known Don’t hold it under

Sad Over It 03:05
What I want for you Is getting in the way now So it’s hard for me to move It seems so strange But it really isn’t so Because part of building love is Letting lovers go What comes next for me Is the treasure worth the trial Is my heart what made me bleed It seems so strange But I’ve really got to know If time can mend the damage Of letting lovers go I’m so over it And I hope you feel the same It wasn’t mine to rearrange But I got over it I’m so over it All the lines were out of place Drawn out and then erased I’m so over it

Alarm 03:35
You can hold my heart But careful friend I don’t know Where all those cares could end I’ve been sounding the alarm Before we ever get in harm's way Used to wake up with the dawn Now in the night I find my escape Why do you put me through Every hoop to get to love Why do I decide to play along Now that I’m starting new I don’t need the push and shove I didn’t need it all along
4.
Every Seed 04:06
I was terrified of changing Stepping out of what I’d known Every seed deserves some water Every heart deserves to grow I couldn’t shield myself from heart break I wore the burden on my sleeve How much losing can a man take Before he’s drifting out to sea I can’t sit back and let it crumble The hardest part is sitting through Yet through all the ceaseless jabbing I kept coming back to you
5.
On Your Own 03:34
Did you find it on your own Didn’t need me to be your home Why’d you have to string me along In the bitter game called love Was there trouble in your mind Was the answer too hard to find Why’d you have to go and waste my time On the bitter game called love Did you find it on your own Didn’t need me to be your home Why’d you have to string me along In the bitter game called love Did you fall when I stood my ground Couldn’t face it to be over now Why’d you have to bring me down For the bitter game called love And I don’t know what to do about it I can’t carry this alone When did my heart Start to feel so crowded I can’t help what I’ve become (Did you find it) I could spend my time circling around it (Didnt need me) I could fixate on the hurt I should take you off The pedestal I’ve been lifting (In the bitter game called love) Was there trouble in your mind Was the answer too hard to find Why'd you have to go and waste my time On the bitter game (Did you fall when) I could spend my time circling around it (Couldn't face it) I could fixate on the hurt (Why'd you have to bring me down) I should take you off the pedestal I've been lifting For the bitter game called love

I don’t know what I came here for But I know I’m not leaving Empty handed in the end It’s alright to feel overwhelmed Just know it’s not over for you You’ll be fine It’s not for me to answer on my own Too late to hold me I’ll see you somewhere on the road
7.
Thought I was soaring High above the clouds Looking down on everything Thinking it was all beneath me Thought I’d let the wind decide my fate But way up there the air was thinning And I couldn’t cease from spinning Thought I’d keep you Safe beneath my wing Away from all that brought you under I was a shelter for the taking Thought we were meant To fly together there But I could hear the end was calling When the flying felt like falling Maybe these wings Were keeping me down Maybe these wings Can turn me around
8.
The sum of doubt That we could go on How did it happen there How come we can’t beware Look into my eyes And tell me I’m your man Something wasn’t right I couldn’t see your plan I was lost inside my mind I’d never felt so numb I couldn’t piece together The world that we’d become We don’t have to wait until it’s over We don’t need the current future I’ve been looking at the future different
9.
Did it take too long For the balance to get set When it might go wrong But it may be all that’s left Tell me something that I Haven’t heard from you Before I get up and go Somewhere I’ll find it when I get there I’ll find it when I leave I'll find it when I leave Did it take too long For the river to run dry Do you see that way As a tether to untie Bring me something I can Hold on tightly to Before I get up and go Somewhere I’ll find it when I get there I’ll find it when I leave I’ll find it when I live Somewhere I’ll find it when I get there I’ll find it when I leave Bring me something I can Hold on tightly to Before I get up and go Tell me something I haven’t heard from you Before I get up and go Somewhere
10.
Surgeon 02:43
I never knew what I was capable of I was a surgeon still learning Asking who do you trust Until I found you I got colder Trying to shoulder the load Setting things in stone Leaves you no room to grow It’s true Until I found you There was a time There was a place in my mind That I found everything I look for I just can’t seem to find That much was true Until I found you Until I found you Until I found you
11.
Our History 03:53
Our history Faded quickly Our history Is fading out of reach Where did it all go How did it feel to Let me go Our history Fraying at the seams Where did I turn When I needed you to be What you once were But now it seems All along We were an atrophy Our history Replay it for me The door was left open Yet I couldn’t bare to leave All the signs Were windows too That’s how you chose To see it through What’s left to give when you’ll forget What’s for sure is I’ve been there before (Couldn’t help not to run to you) What’s left to give when you’ll forget What’s for sure is I’ve been there before
12.
Find A Way 02:54
It’s been a long time coming Trying to find where I’m going Been living lost in longing And never really knowing As long as I’m still breathing I know I’ll find a way As long as I Wake with the rising sun I’ll hold on Way past the forest Time ran its course Way in the open air Trouble will bind you When you look forward Only release your care As long as I’m still breathing I know I’ll find a way As long as I Wake with the rising sun I’ll hold on As long as I can
