Move away from the days when I screwed up and second chance is always begging
For me to stay in the wait and hope so much more as I am aging.
Will I grow up or will time beat me weaker to the ground?
I barely saw it coming.
What did I do wrong?
Stupid questions I should never ask myself.
Sometimes I just gotta let it be.
Take away all my faith and lock it up in something hard to open.
Then I'll say that I've changed and they'll all laugh and reply,
"I didn't notice."
Shut them up.
Shut them out
Because I'm lost in Virginia,
Give me something better to worry about.
I'm still waiting and I am ready...

I'm starting to feel the hunger pains in my gut.
I'm already half-heartbroken, is this too much?
To say that I'm happy now is a lie that screams and shouts.
Taking me back to the lowest of lows I can ever go,
But I'm not quite there and frankly I don't care if you don't know it.
How do I pick myself off the ground?
Do I call out for help, do I make a sound?
It's becoming so obvious like the fake surrounding us,
Which consumes us all to the point where we're all drones programmed in this world.
And it's always there and frankly I don't care if you don't know it.
Open your eyes.
Look through the mosaic.
Open your eyes.
I don't have to say it.

Might as well breathe slow.
She's calling me again.
What's there to expect?
"Oh, I miss you."
Such things as that
And, "Oh I need you, where are you at?"
No matter where I go it seems she's always there to follow me around.
And I know to be careful cuz she might pull out some shit and she might say...
Might as well breathe slow.
Now she's texting me.
What's there to expect?
"Oh, I always thought you were the best
And there's some things I need to get off my chest."
No matter where I go it seems she's always there to follow me around.
And the years go by so quickly now, she's not happy now.
I guess we're friends for real this time.
Oh, that's that.
So, I guess it's fate.
That's that.

Protect my heart, don't hurt it again.
Some people say, "Take chances 'cause life is short."
But I don't want to mess this up.
'Cause it's once in a lifetime that I meet someone like you.
No matter what, I will not give up.
'Cause I'm already glad that I met you and I keep telling myself,
"Tonight is the night."
After so many nights of lying to myself.
I've been waiting here for too long.
Don't know what to say or do.
She'll never read this.
Should I go all out?
She'll never hear this.
Should I keep my mouth shut?
Am I going over the top?
Am I making her more than what she really is?
I should found out, damn it, ask her out right now!
'Cause it's getting too late.
All my attempts are lame.
Look in her eyes and tell her the things that I want to say.

Hey beautiful angel I have questions for you.
Are those wings real?
If they are, how often do you fly?
See, I'm the kind of guy who'll take the risk of trying something he's never tried.
Can I grow wings too?
Airborne we'll be in my domain I'll show to you.
See what I see in my world.
Beautiful eyes of this girl.
That gives light to this land,
So trust me hold my hand.
There's so much more of this to see.
You'll see.
Let's get over this safe.
This bridge is about to break under us.
See what I see.
Take my hand.
Let's go before everyone's older and older.
See what I see in my world.
Extravagant smile of this girl.
Which leads down to this.
From eyes down to lips.
Now I really want to give this angel a kiss.
But it's hard to tell if she's feeling me too
That's why I'm holding back from kissing you.
See what I see in my world.
I'm starting to think it's absurd.
These feelings I have
Must be a lack of what I have
And I end up falling in circles in the end.

I breathe in cold air.
Feels amazing, "Fresh!" declares my lungs.
Covered outside, but melting in.
The walk from The Village is miles away from my car.
Keep me here,
Oh God keep me here.
With "Hope" tattooed all over,
I'm at my highest peak.
The monarch is staring back at me
To make my move now. Damn this game charades.
Hanging over, but falling under.
My mind wanders careless and I could miss my chance.
The fragrance of winter
Flairs my nostrils.
So breathe in optimism
And breath out no results.
Cool, unfortunate me.
As I scream out
While no one's around.
Cool, unfortunate me.
As I drive home.
With the windows down I sing alone.

Say all you want,
But you don't know a single thing about me.
You can laugh all you want to
Because tonight I'll drink myself to sleep.
Say all you want,
But I don't really think I belong here.
You can laugh all you want to
Or you can just buy me another beer.
I'll take a shot to get the hell out of here.
Give it a try.
We'll see how far you'll go with this.
Give it a try,
and move to Great Britain
And you'll see it will always be the same.
You don't know a single thing about me
Because tonight I'll drink myself to sleep.

"Honesty is key a friendship."
That's what the old folks say,
But I'm holding back everyday
Things that I would say.
How can I be completely honest
When all I think is why?
At moments I believe we can fly,
But fall short 'cause we never try.
How dare you.
You marvel in things that I can't offer you.
Should I twist myself anew?
So put on that smile,
The one that makes me melt inside in much denial
Of the fact that we'll never fly.
How many times have I contemplated
Throwing this friendship down
If I can't get the one thing that I wanted?
Yet, there's many things out there that I haven't found.
So stop pushing myself to believe that
One day it will work out.
Take what I can from this extinction of hope I had.
That's what life's about.
How dare you.
You marvel in things that I can't offer you.
Should I twist myself anew?
So lay on that smile,
The one that makes me melt inside in much denial
Of the fact that we'll never fly.
I'm so over you, but I'm devastated.
Laura,
My dearest friend.

Away with you!
This silent sound.
I hope that I
Can stand my ground.
Against these foes
That press my ears
And shut them closed.
Expose my fears.
Never in my life did I expect this much.
Little did I know of winning,
Well I'm not quite there yet.
Taking tiny steps just seems so tedious,
But I'm willing to accept that.
It's just that when I'm waiting
I start thinking...
Away with you!
This silent sound.
I hope that I
Can stand my ground.
Against these foes
That press my ears
And shut them closed.
Expose my fears
I sit here thinking bad thoughts,
"What if she'll say no?"
Stop freezing in the fear and take action
Because you will regret it.
Imagine everything working out...
I wish.
See my dream girl in all her glory.
I'm a highly doubtful hopeless romantic.
So here I go.
Today is the day I'll let her know.
No high hopes, it's not a good time anyway.
She's already with another guy.
Smart move I took my time, but I'm dying to know.
I'm already here, I can't go home.
This moment,
I pass it off as my own.
It's too late
To get things done.
This moment,
I pass it off as my own.
Enjoy it
Before the down comes.
Your eyes
Tell me
You know
Just what I'm thinking.
So it was brought up
Feeling so awkward.
Remember what she said?
"I'm not your girlfriend."
Away with you!
This current sound.
I hope that I
Can stand my ground.
Against this foe
That crush my ears
And shut them closed.
Expose my fears.
Do I stand or sit to take the hits?
Do I sacrifice my dream for "just friends"?
Should I think of how I messed this up?
She says, "I just can't see you like that."
I sit there, soaking in the facts of how she also said,
She said, "Never."
She said,
"Never can I see you as
More than friends, don't have hope."
I'm all theory, no action.
The question now:
Do I give up?
Let this go.
Away with you.
I give up.

Questions fly out
and jumble my mind.
When I hear your name
It sends chills down my spine.
Like a beating drum
Hope consistenly comes in
Fade out to none.
I'm blessed with the curse
Of waiting for her.
My dream girl would never say,
"Never."
So I'll figure out the tune
That one day she'll hear.
To reflect off the moon
And travel down to her ears.
Listen well and find me
As I drink myself to hell at parties.
Listen well and find me
As I dance smashed on the ground in hopes that you'd see me.
Whoever you are.
Just look for the brightest star in the nighttime sky.
That's me.
So I'll figure out the tune
That one day she'll hear.
To reflect off the moon
And travel down to her ears...
