(Verse) One morning I awoke Just a little closer to you Thank I’d been used to But I guess it was a long time coming And of course you had to ask me If what you saw was a dream But I think you knew It was real just like the things you’d been feeling (Chorus) So wake me up I’m strange in the morning When waking up to you So wake me up From nights gone tomorrow When waking to you (Verse) One afternoon you laid Just a little closer to me Than you would previously But I guess it was a long time coming And I said “Well I should like this so much” but you said “Just kiss me if you’re curious” How I wish I knew the way you were feeling (Chorus) So wake me up I’m strange in the morning When waking up to you So wake me up From nights gone tomorrow When waking to you (Verse) One evening I recall Just you and I And knowing why you came that night But I guess it was a long time coming And as I look back On that last goodbye There was something in your eyes Do you remember the things you were feeling (Bridge) Cause I think you fell in love, you were For just a moment in love I think you fell in love, you were For just a moment in love (Chorus) So wake me up I’m strange in the morning When waking up to you So wake me up From nights gone tomorrow When waking to you

Green Lights 04:27
(Verse) What are we escaping Life or the fire itself What are you erasing By drinking to her health Matches strike but burn out soon Unless you’ve got something to set them to And you don’t No you don’t When I was just a young boy I said I’d never be a tollbooth man Cause I deserved better That would never be who I am Than who am I Accepting change sitting still Watching the world go by Behind the glass Behind the glass (Chorus) Green lights and gates going up Fake smiles with the change in your cup But you’ll drink it anyway Cause I’m afraid it’s all you’ve got and What has this world come too When I can’t even make a stand What has this world come too When it all falls through my hands I need a reason, I need a sign Will you be with me in the end Will you be with me in the end Oh you’re all I know (Verse) There’s no use in escaping The fire will burn itself There’s no use in erasing She will always have her hell So take your life Live it into the night And be together Just be together (Chorus) Green lights and gates going up Fake smiles with the change in your cup But you’ll drink it anyway Cause I’m afraid it’s all you’ve got and What has this world come too When I can’t even make a stand What has this world come too When it all falls through my hands I need a reason, I need a sign Will you be with me in the end Will you be with me in the end Will you be with me in the end Will you be with me in the end Oh you’re all I know

(Verse) I’m a changed man I swear that I am As I stand here today before you girl I’ll explain and I will tell you where I’ve been I’ve been down but it’s only up from here I look back at All the streets and signs we’ve passed And I’m certain that this road will surely end Pack your bags man We can’t hang around this land Hoping something new will fall into you plans (Chorus) If we stall just outside of Tinmouth Ditch the car without a care And I walk that yellow line Thumbs already in the air By this time come morning We’ll have walked through that door The last time The last time (Verse) Lay your cards down Now I’ve seen you palm the ace So let’s see em lay em down show your face It’s been a dream love But it’s time to come clean From all these faded lines and broken melodies (Chorus) If we stall just outside of Tinmouth Ditch the car without a care And I walk that yellow line Thumbs already in the air By this time come morning We’ll have walked through that door The last time The last time (Verse) I’ve been vein babe Lemme show you how we’ve changed There’s much more to this than finding whose to blame It’s a shame man I tried hard as I can But as you see what’s left of me Just won’t do (is part of you)

Purpose 02:56
(Verse) Baby if you stay well I’m not leaving till we leave together Baby if you stay you are my home Cause I’m afraid of dying but I’m scared to live a life in full Or never leave a mark to call my own Well I’m scared that he could decide, Latter would be easier than life But you say a word and all that’s replaced see babe (Chorus) I’m your purpose, and loving you is mine You think a heart beats just to beat That you and I met just to meet Do you believe just to believe? To circulate blood to survive To love each other for all time My meaning is your need in life (Verse) Well lets run through the hallways like a whisper on a breeze True love is endangered but we’re a whole new species Just moving through the wild and don’t stop till we reach ruins girl We're oooo-in at our own foreshadowed love Well I’m scared that he could decide, Latter would be easier than life But you say a word and all that’s replaced see babe (Chorus) I’m your purpose, and loving you is mine You think a heart beats just to beat That you and I met just to meet Do you believe just to believe? To circulate blood to survive To love each other for all time My meaning is your need in life

(Verse) What is brave Cause I don’t know Is it traping over battlefields Or the wounded in the snow Where’s the mercy In this fight If the fallen have no say about Where we draw the line (Chorus) And if you’re leading Stand up when you see it Call the sides what’s wrong what’s right and Always speak the truth despite your Fear don’t you ever turn back no Go on through the door instead Put yourself before other If the danger lies ahead (Verse) There’s no disease Like indecise When you’re caught up in the motions What you want gets sacrificed and Far as adventure well I’d venture off And say that you’ve had none So get on out that door Before life speaks you’re time has come (Chorus) And if you’re leading Stand up when you see it Call the sides what’s wrong what’s right and Always speak the truth despite your Fear don’t you ever turn back no Go on through the door instead Put yourself before other If the danger lies ahead And if you’re leading Stand up when you see it Call the sides what’s wrong what’s right and Always speak the truth despite your Fear don’t you ever turn back no Go on through the door instead Put yourself before other If the danger lies ahead

Stars 02:57
Sometimes I go out and I follow the stars Through my eyes They all look so together and So perfectly placed just by chance or by god Either way They share the sky together and They all seem so together and I wish I could say things I’ve said to the stars Maybe then I’d feel more together and Not be so alone in my dreams and hours You and I Well we should be together and We’d share the sky together and Woe, I. Sometimes I go out and I follow the stars Sometimes I go out and I follow the stars.

Downbeat. 04:10
(Verse) I believed that you would make it I told everyone the same Possible I couldn’t take it So I stayed away Not from you but from the feeling See I’d heard everybody’s take On your odds while you’re still breathing And though it stopped Some string won’t break (Chorus) And I believe that you made it I believe that you made it Anyway. But this is the sound I miss With every single hit All that I can see with each Downbeat (Verse) Cause I miss the sound Of sitting on the ground And we argue and compete Words vs melody But I need your words right now cause We were kids just trying to figure But I think you had it figured out And your mother tells me you said that I’d go far, well Anne. You should know who taught me how (Bridge) Oh I know now Why you taught me to be loud I promise to be loud I’ll always be loud Thought I couldn’t write this song Thought it meant admitting you were gone But now I realize it’s what keeping you alive and (Chorus) I’ll tell the world that you made it I believe that you made it Tell the world that you made it I believe that we made it But this is the sound I’ll miss With every single hit All I can see with each.
