BACK TO ME 02:58
take it from the start oh it’s always been my favorite part nothing like those looser ends and where we go from there depends not upon some best laid plans ‘cause those always fall apart but you don’t want to say it’s so right now, it’s the only thing you know let it be, let it be let it be and you’ll come back to me back to me, back to me here we go again spin this merry-go-‘round that we’re in isn’t the end just another start come apart too soon if you’ll be my sun, let me be your moon let me glow across your room but you don’t want to say it’s so you said it let you down down down let it be, let it be let it be and it’ll come back to me back to me, back to me

RUNAWAY 02:44
funny how a dart to the heart goes straight to your head even now, I can’t say what you said all the things you thought true all the pictures of you and before you left me you said I’m gonna run away yeah, I’m gonna run away all my time, wasted waiting for you and if I had to do it again I don’t know if I could you're kind of like a thought I forgot or a dream left in bed either way, I can’t say what you said sometimes just getting through is the best you can and in the end I’ll come and find you when you run away yeah, when you run away oh, when you run away

BLUE 03:05
everybody I know says it’s true I could never have you the way I want to so, if you’re asking that’s why I’m blue I’m with the boys getting high that's nothing new you, you’re with the girls most likely to so, if you’re asking that’s why I’m blue blue ‘cause you don’t need me like you used to you don’t need me like you used to blue blue looking for a reason I can’t find a clue listening to old love songs to get me through so, if you’re asking that’s why I’m blue blue ‘cause you don’t need me like you used to you don’t need me like you used to blue blue

searching through my pockets, my desk drawers can’t imagine what I’m looking for oh, I don’t have you a simple sentiment, a silver ring to think of all the trouble little things bring and I don’t have you though I’ve wanted to no, I don’t have you a bird on a wire calls my name sings its song, always the same finds my ears but gets lost in my brain once again coming back after so long away it’s not so simple, these words we say when I don’t have you a crooked smile, a bit unsure the same way that we always were and I don’t have you though I’ve wanted to no, I don’t have you a heart on a string swings, won’t let go tells me everything I need to know the clock it talks, but it won’t slow no, it won’t slow once again I don’t have you

the cruelest month of the year ended the way that it began here in fireworks & fear of losing what we hold so dear why are we here if just to count our days if just to walk through the mirrors and maze of a life we’ve lived on loan with regrets & mistakes you don’t even own here in the cruelest month of the year all that we are all that we fear they will live here in the cruelest month of the year well, time will let you know yes, time has a way, a way all its own to lift you up so high to lay you down so low always the cruelest month of the year all that we are all that we fear it will stay here in the cruelest month of the year

THE STORY 03:16
you have a heart that beats inside your chest your eyes always open wide, a mind that never rests yes, you have the thoughts you thought you’d thought inside your head you have the deeds you’ve done, the words that you have said this is the story of what you need you have a place to lie your head down every night when every day, it ends and your sorrows are nowhere in sight and whether you know it no, you don’t know it no, nobody does we have thing we hide deep down inside that we trust this is the story of what you need it’s never quite as much as you think it might be you have what most men lack in a solid back bone and you don’t need a house when you have someone to call home you have a watch that’s wrapped around your wrist, a lot in life that is star-kissed you know what you have, you know what you’ve missed this is the story of what you need no, never quite as much as you think it might be this is the story of what you need no, never quite as much as you think it might be
