I've been running backwards wasting time You're stuck in last year and still not mine I can finally see things clearly Because now my heads not spinning And now my stomachs not turning You've been calling my name for weeks on end And I'm not sure if I believe you yet It's all coming back to haunt you No matter what you try to do Your past has been the one to come from behind you As you try to stand and not fall And with all this extra dialogue The act can stop and you can take a bow For everything you did to me till this day Including all the time I waste You've been calling my name for weeks on end And I'm not sure if I believe you yet It's all coming back to haunt you No matter what you try to do Your past has been the one to come from behind you As you try to stand and not fall Friends are pointing and laughing You ask how did this happen As you stand there by the bed Now you're a walking punch line You'll never be mine Just get it through your head It's all coming back to haunt you No matter what you try to do Your past has been the one to come from behind you As you try to stand and not fall

So what would you do if I was to choose To let things go I just want you to know That every move you make, and every breath you take I’d rather bend and break then spend time with you I’ll just keep my head from looking down And play all my favorite records loud Yea Can’t you see it’s the same old story Past and present I wait for the morning Hoping that something will change Won’t something just change Here’s what I want to say For the record I should remember A miss is as good as a mile and I’ve heard Time heals a broken heart Good things will fall apart Too bad I never understood a word you said My shelves are filled with movies and cds that just remind of you and me If I could take it back and start again I’d stand you up, and leave you waiting I should have gave up long ago If I only knew back then what I now know I’ve been wasting so much time I’m wasting yours like you’re wasting mine For the record I should remember A miss is as good as a mile and I’ve heard Time heals a broken heart Good things will fall apart Too bad you never understood a word I said Id always stick around You said you’d never let me down I should have gave up long ago If I only knew back then what I now know

Forget Her 03:20
Stand in line and take a number All this pressure that I'm under Means nothings getting done Because we got nothing done last week This week isn't looking better All my friends say just forget her Tear up and burn all her letters No I never wanted you in the first Because you way me down in the worst ways So don't ask tonight if I changed my mind Just forget about it I've been remembering everything friends said to me When they say girls like you are just a waste We're getting nothing done this week Next week isn't looking better My conscience says just forget her I know I can do much better No I never wanted you in the first Because you way me down in the worst ways So don't ask tonight if I changed my mind Just forget about it You're dropping all the lines I've heard a million times Face the facts I've gotten over you I'm not wasting time with these goodbyes It feels so good to get over you You're dropping all the lines I've heard a million times Face the facts I've gotten over you I'm not wasting time with this No I never wanted you in the first Because you way me down in the worst ways So don't ask tonight if I changed my mind Just forget about it

Clearing Up 02:57
Sometimes I wish I could go inside your head To figure out why you said all the things you did You lead me on I fall behind so fast I played along my fault I thought it would last There's no sun in the sky, just stormy weather I was a fool who didn't know any better And you said One swallow doesn't make a summer I'm on the sidelines and it's not over Better late than never I'm holding myself together One swallow doesn't make a summer I'm getting older and its so hard to tell Where did we even slip do you know when we fell In every beginning makes you think about the end You might look but you won't find me caving in One swallow doesn't make a summer I'm on the sidelines and it's not over Better late than never I'm holding myself together One swallow doesn't make a summer So are we just letting go Sometimes I never know I'm done with this door I want it closed Is there anything left to show Or are we just letting go One swallow doesn't make a summer I'm on the sidelines and it's not over Better late than never I'm holding myself together One swallow doesn't make a summer

A Lifetime 03:50
Looking back at all the times we drove down crooked creek at night There's no doubt in my mind that I'll remember those drives For a lifetime I'll keep you all around You get me up when I feel down And all the times we sat up on the rooftops Talking about all our favorite nights Falling off the edge sometimes The knots on the ceiling seem to be the only eyes watching us Our bad luck has turned around We've struck gold in this small town The moon will follow us home tonight We've got the front seat on this ride Nothing seems to be able to slow us down I'll fast forward years from now If you're not around we'll catch up somehow We'll all be holding on yea so tight we're all here for the long ride Staying up till 4am our favorite songs are on again Nothing seems to be able to slow us down Our bad luck has turned around We've struck gold in this small town The moon will follow us home tonight We've got the front seat on this ride Nothing seems to be able to slow us down And I'd rather sink than stay afloat because You don't understand I'd rather sink than stay afloat with people who don't understand me Our bad luck has turned around We've struck gold in this small town The moon will follow us home tonight We've got the front seat on this ride Nothing seems to be able to slow us down

She tries holding me back I stop think fast and react She sucks me in with her words as I choke and slur She takes a moment as I begin to tell her Everything that you've said and written How I try and I try to forget them The stories were true all along And I'll make sure to pass them on But Im quickly counting down the days Glancing at old photographs I try to erase Now you know that I'm the one who's getting away You've been knocking on my door with no answer But when I do here's what I'll say Every time I sit and wonder Why oh why should we depend on each other Is it because there is no one else Then you said you want to take things slowly And you start to play those games with me Its impossible to look at you It brings back all these thoughts and moments But Im quickly counting down the days Glancing at old photographs I try to erase Now you know that I'm the one who's getting away You've been knocking on my door with no answer But when I do here's what I'll say Too little too late now I want to watch you breakdown You had the chance to be the one I need And I gave you away But I'm quickly counting down the days Now you know that I'm the one who's getting away You've been knocking on my door with no answer But when I do here's what I'll say Too little too late now I want to watch you breakdown You had the chance to be the one I need And I gave you away

With every bone I break Trying to do things for no one else but me You should know that your mistakes Turned me around now I walk the ground heading the right way You're over and done you've lost everyone You're finally figuring out its all gone So don't you forget that thats what you get When your games start to play you back You're trying to be the one for me Face to face I'll tell you how I see it Bury yourself and your so called feelings You took this long to find out I'm leaving Here's to everyone who's falling for her like a setting summer sun I'll tell them this about you You're over and done you've lost everyone You're finally figuring out its all gone So don't you forget that thats what you get When your games start to play you back You're trying to be the one for me Face to face I'll tell you how I see it Bury yourself and your so called feelings You took this long to find out I'm leaving Face to face back to the basics Listen up I want you to hear this Face to face back to the basics Listen up I don't want you to miss this You're over and done you've lost everyone You're finally figuring out its all gone So don't you forget that thats what you get When your games start to play you back You're trying to be the one for me Face to face I'll tell you how I see it Bury yourself and your so called feelings You took this long to find out I'm leaving

Dead End 03:32
All you do is talk behind my back about my friends This road has gotten old you're a dead end I'll press rewind to go back into time And erase all those memories of mine Because I'm just finding out What I need has always been around I won't be falling down Here with you I can't forget From the beginning to the end That I never felt the same way And when I said It was you that I regret All I needed were my friends Take a look around your shoulder Your head's coming lose you're getting older I'm still the same I've never changed I won't rearrange for anything Because I'm just finding out What I need has always been around I won't be falling down Here with you I can't forget From the beginning to the end That I never felt the same way And when I said It was you that I regret All I needed were my friends

I'm making long distance phone calls to talk to you Do me a favor tell me the truth I've been falling for you more and more I remember leaving my past and mistakes at your door I'm open for anything I'm hoping for something As long as it can Help me get out of this slump Because I've learned my lesson and I've had enough So far so good and it's finally understood That when you work on what's behind you You're no longer a failure I've been stuck in this lane and you're getting me out I've been going insane trying to work myself out I have a few flaws and a head full of doubt And now I'm running around retracing all of my steps Trying to figure out exactly what I have left Someday I'll prove to myself that I need the help I need someone that can Help me get out of this slump Because I've learned my lesson and I've had enough So far so good and it's finally understood That when you work on what's behind you You're no longer a failure When I opened my eyes I came to realize It wasn't anything that I would be missing It wouldn't make a dent or crush me Just help me out in the long run convince me That I need something Help me get out of this slump Because I've learned my lesson and I've had enough So far so good and it's finally understood That when you work on what's behind you

The music stops and I turn around The tank is empty I'll pull over now I've been here before but I’m done looking down What once was lost, should never be found You're fading out with such little sound Your voice gets lost in the background I've been here before but I’m done looking down What once was lost, should never be found So won't you tell me how it ends I don't want this anymore I let my back get burned I wasn't looking for Something to cause such a mess so fast And how I'm thinking all about the best and the worst times Now I'm here to call you out once more It's time to swallow down your words from before Now you're left with a picture ripped and torn So I don't have to see your face anymore So won't you tell me how it ends I don't want this anymore I let my back get burned I wasn't looking for Something to cause such a mess so fast And how I'm thinking all about the best and the worst times You always want what you can't have You're all about the chase and you don't understand So won't you tell me how it ends I don't want this anymore I let my back get burned I wasn't looking for Something to cause such a mess so fast And how I'm thinking all about the best and the worst times You always want what you can't have And you don't understand
