I guess you never know
Someone you think you know
Can't see the knife when you're too close, too close
It scars forever when
Someone you called your friend
Shows you the truth can be so cold, so cold
I'd wipe the dirt of your name
With the shirt off my back
I thought that you'd do the same
But you didn't do that
(Yeah)
Said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
And look at you now
(And look at you now)
How do you sleep at night?
No one to hide behind
Betrayed every alibi you had, you had, you had
Every chance to make amends
'Stead you got drunk on bitterness and you
Still claim that you're innocent, it's sad
That you said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
(And look at you now)
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you
Said I'm the one who's wanted
For all the fires you started
You knew the house was burning down
I had to get out
You led your saints and sinners
And fed 'em lies for dinner
You knew the house was burning down
Used to tell me you'd pray for me (pray for me)
You were praying for my downfall (for my downfall)
You were digging a grave for me (for me)
We were sharing the same four walls
Used to tell me you'd pray for me
You were praying for my downfall
You were digging a grave for me
We were sharing the same four walls
And you

Catch My Breath
Caroline called me and said, "There's a girl you should meet, but she lives far away"
I heard your voice and I knew I had no other choice but to jump on a plane
You dropped out of college when five-hundred dollars was all that you had to your name
Who knew in no time you would be taking mine, down the aisle to Lana Del Rey?
I've been off my head
Since the night we met
And you look so amazing
Sometimes I forget
To catch my breath
Catch my breath
Catch my breath
Sometimes I forget
To remember the start, living out of that car
Saving up just to buy gasoline
Back when everyone told you that you should run
You jumped in the passenger seat
Can't believe how far we made it
Have all I want, but I'm praying
We're lucky enough 'cause I start tearing up
When I think of the mother you'll be
I've been off my head (off my head)
Since the night we met (night we met)
And you look so amazing
Sometimes I forget
To catch my breath
It all happened so fast (catch my breath)
I forget to look back (catch my breath)
Meet you right where we're at
Catch my breath
I've been off my head
Since the night we met
And you look so amazing
Sometimes I forget
To catch my breath
Off my head (off my head)
Since the night we met (night we met)
And you look so amazing
Sometimes I forget
To catch my breath
It all happened so fast (catch my breath)
I forget to look back (catch my breath)
Meet you right where we're at
Sometimes I forget

Carry You Home
Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home
Whether it's tonight or fifty-five years down the road
Oh, I know there's so many ways that this could go
Don't want you to wonder, darling, I need you to know
We were talking to the sunset
Throwing dreams against the wall
I know none of them are stuck yet
But I bet it on you, honey
Oh, I would risk it all
These days, these nights been changing
My love, my mind is set on you
I'm not afraid to say it
To say it's true
Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home
Whether it's tonight or fifty-five years down the road
Oh, I know there's so many ways that this could go
Don't want you to wonder, darling, I need you to know
In this and every life
I choose us every time
We were California dreaming
All our life fit in that car
Didn't have a bed to sleep in
We kept each other warm under a ceiling full of stars
These days, these nights been changing
My love, my mind is set on you
I'm not afraid to say it
To say I do
Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home
Whether it's tonight or fifty-five years down the road
Oh, I know there's so many ways that this could go
Don't want you to wonder, darling, I need you to know
In this and every life
I choose us every time
Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home
Whether it's tonight or fifty-five years down the road
Whether it's tonight or fifty-five years down the road
Oh, I know there's so many ways that this could go
Don't want you to wonder, darling, I need you to know
We were talking to the sunset
Throwing dreams against the wall
I know none of them are stuck yet
But I bet it on you, honey
Oh, I would risk it all

Troubled Waters
Locked inside my head
Didn't want to let you see me break down
There's no other past
I'm not here to ask you for a way out
The waves keep crashin'
What would happen
If I asked you to stay?
Woah say you won't
Let me drown in troubled waters alone
Ooh throw me a rope
Won't you tell me that you're still holdin' on
Feel the world on my shoulders
Slowly pullin' me under
And I don't wanna push you away
Woah say you won't
Let me drown in troubled waters
Drown in troubled waters alone
Storm is rolling in
There's no stopping it darlin' believe me
I've got a tendency to run
And all I've learned from love is that it leaves me
The waves keep crashin'
What would happen
If I asked you to stay?
Woah say you won't
Let me drown in troubled waters alone
Ooh throw me a rope
Won't you tell me that you're still holdin' on
Feel the world on my shoulders
Slowly pullin' me under
And I don't wanna push you away
Woah say you won't
Let me drown in troubled waters
Drown in troubled waters alone
Say you won't
Let me drown
Drown in troubled waters alone
(Say you won't)
Say you won't
Let me down
Darlin' when I need you the most
(You the most)
Say you won't
Let me drown
Drown in troubled waters alone
(Say you won't)
Say you won't
Let me down
Darlin' when I need you the most
Woah say you won't
Let me drown in troubled waters alone
Ooh throw me a rope
Won't you tell me that you're still holdin' on
Feel the world on my shoulders
Slowly pullin' me under
And I don't wanna push you away
Woah say you won't (you won't)

Heaven Without You
Sippin' coffee in the morning light
Feel your heartbeat with your hand in mine
It terrifies me and I know that I
Found the best thing that was ever mine
When I get in my head, you talk me down
Saying, "Nothing's gonna separate us now"
It's not a life or death situation
Darling, you're my last destination
But if I go first
And my angel's still on Earth
I'll wait outside the gates 'til you're there too
'Cause Heaven won't be Heaven without you
Without you
When I picture paradise
It isn't somewhere in the sky
It's anywhere you're by my side
When I look at you, I see the light
It's not a life or death situation
Darling, you're my last destination
But if I go first
And my angel's still on Earth
I'll wait outside the gates 'til you're there too
'Cause Heaven won't be Heaven without you
Without you
And if death do us part
I promise you'll have my heart
In every lifetime
In every lifetime
Oh darling, I'll wait (darling, i'll wait)
As long as it takes (as long as it takes)
Forever means we'll never say goodbye
It's not a life or death situation
Darling, you're my last destination
But if I go first
And my angel's still on Earth
I'll wait outside the gates 'til you're there too
'Cause Heaven won't be Heaven without you
Without you
You
Without you
Feel your heartbeat with your hand in mine
It terrifies me and I know that I
Found the best thing that was ever mine
When I get in my head, you talk me down
Saying, "Nothing's gonna separate us now"
It's not a life or death situation
Darling, you're my last destination
But if I go first
And my angel's still on Earth
I'll wait outside the gates 'til you're there too
'Cause Heaven won't be Heaven without you
Without you
When I picture paradise
It isn't somewhere in the sky
It's anywhere you're by my side
When I look at you, I see the light
It's not a life or death situation
Darling, you're my last destination
But if I go first
And my angel's still on Earth
I'll wait outside the gates 'til you're there too
'Cause Heaven won't be Heaven without you
Without you
And if death do us part
I promise you'll have my heart
In every lifetime
In every lifetime
Oh darling, I'll wait (darling, i'll wait)
As long as it takes (as long as it takes)
Forever means we'll never say goodbye
It's not a life or death situation
Darling, you're my last destination
But if I go first
And my angel's still on Earth
I'll wait outside the gates 'til you're there too
'Cause Heaven won't be Heaven without you
Without you
You
Without you

Before You Leave Me
Darling, handle me with care
Cover me in bubble wrap
I'm scared you really mean it
That you're never comin' back
See your bag right by the stairs
I guess you already packed
Know I can't change your mind
But how could you just leave like that?
Oh-uh, oh-uh, oh-oh
I'm not ready to let you go, so
Just give me one more night
Hold me like you're still mine
Oh, love me for right now
Before you leave me
I know it's gonna hurt
Watching your footsteps turn
So, love me for right now
Before you leave me
Oh, oh
Oh, love me for right now
Before you leave me
Oh, oh
Oh, love me for right now
I'm so used to getting damaged
And you know I hate this part
So, I gotta take advantage
Of a fully-broken heart
Won't you stay a little longer
Even if it's all pretend?
And maybe by the mornin'
I'll be ready for the end
Oh-uh, oh-uh, oh-oh
I'm not ready to let you go, so
Just give me one more night
Hold me like you're still mine
Oh, love me for right now
Before you leave me
I know it's gonna hurt
Watching your footsteps turn
So, love me for right now
Before you leave me
Oh, oh
Oh, love me for right now
Before you leave me
Oh, oh
Oh, love me for right now
Whoa-oh, got one foot out the door
Whoa-oh, 'cause you don't need me anymore (oh-oh-oh)
Whoa-oh, got one foot out the door
Whoa-oh, 'cause you don't need me anymore
You don't need me anymore
You don't need me anymore
Just give me one more night
Hold me like you're still mine
Oh, love me for right now
Before you leave me
I know it's gonna hurt
Watching your footsteps turn
So, love me for right now
Before you leave me
Oh, oh

Save You A Seat
I can hear the words you speak when the west wind whispers
I can hear your voice ring clear in the evergreens
Am I who you thought I'd be? Am I what you pictured?
Did you have me standin' here in your wildest dreams?
Ohh-oh
Just like a memory
You never left me
You just left too soon
I'll save you a seat next to me
You're always at the table
Hope you're proud of what you see
Watchin' with the angels
You're written in my soul
It's your blood that I bleed
Wherever you are, wherever I'll be
I'll save you a seat
I feel you in the rain that falls, oh, I still get shivers
Runnin' like our family car down Corvidae
Did you find mom up there? Tell me are you with her?
I wonder if the ones who go miss the ones who stay
Ohh-oh
Just like a memory
You never left me
You just left too soon
I'll save you a seat next to me
You're always at the table
Hope you're proud of what you see
Watchin' with the angels
You're written in my soul
It's your blood that I bleed
Wherever you are, wherever I'll be
I'll save you a seat
Keep your room like nothing's changed
Try to love but it's not the same
I damn near broke when I heard your name
You had to go, you couldn't stay
So I'll save you a seat next to me
You're always at the table
Hope you're proud of what you see
Watchin' with the angels
I can hear your voice ring clear in the evergreens
Am I who you thought I'd be? Am I what you pictured?
Did you have me standin' here in your wildest dreams?
Ohh-oh
Just like a memory
You never left me
You just left too soon
I'll save you a seat next to me
You're always at the table
Hope you're proud of what you see
Watchin' with the angels
You're written in my soul
It's your blood that I bleed
Wherever you are, wherever I'll be
I'll save you a seat
I feel you in the rain that falls, oh, I still get shivers
Runnin' like our family car down Corvidae
Did you find mom up there? Tell me are you with her?
I wonder if the ones who go miss the ones who stay
Ohh-oh
Just like a memory
You never left me

I'll save you a seat next to me

Chasing Shadows
I'm homesick
For somewhere that doesn't exist
For someone I'm still learning to miss
It's like you've been replaced
By home videotapes
Sun goes up, then the sun goes down
And your shadow gets longer on the ground
And it's all for what? 'Cause you're not around
But I still hope I'll make you proud
Oh, I'm running after something, trying to catch your ghost
Holding onto pictures and the smell of your clothes
Feel you slipping through my fingers, and I know I'll never reach you
But you're part of me, I can't let you go
So, I just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you
Chasing shadows of you
I'm homesick
For conversations I would avoid
Now I miss the sound of your voice
It's like you've been replaced
By a tattoo of your name
Sun goes up, then the sun goes down
And your shadow gets longer on the ground
And it's all for what? 'Cause you're not around
But I still feel you here somehow
Oh, I'm running after something, trying to catch your ghost
Holding onto pictures and the smell of your clothes
Feel you slipping through my fingers, and I know I'll never reach you
But you're part of me, I can't let you go
So, I just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you
Chasing shadows of you, you, you
Said goodbye, wasn't ready yet
Only see you in this silhouettes (of you)
Now there's nothing but a shadow left (a shadow)
Of you, you, you
So, I'll just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you, ooh-ooh-ooh
For somewhere that doesn't exist
For someone I'm still learning to miss
It's like you've been replaced
By home videotapes
Sun goes up, then the sun goes down
And your shadow gets longer on the ground
And it's all for what? 'Cause you're not around
But I still hope I'll make you proud
Oh, I'm running after something, trying to catch your ghost
Holding onto pictures and the smell of your clothes
Feel you slipping through my fingers, and I know I'll never reach you
But you're part of me, I can't let you go

Chasing shadows of you

Yard Sale
I put a sign on a telephone pole
With the address below
I wrote the time and I circled in bold
Everything must go
The couch with a burn from your friend's cigarette
The guitar that you learned how to play when we met
The tables you turned on the night that you left
When it all fell down
Every perfect memory
Stacked in boxes on the street
Take what's left of you and me
'Cause all the love is-
All the love is gone
Every empty picture frame
All the shit that I tried to save
Name your price, you can have my pain
All the love is-, all the love is gone
All the love is-, all the love is gone
I tried to call but you didn't call back
To come and get you things
I thought about just striking a match
But it's hard to burn a memory
Oh, the dresser with the drawer
Full of birthday cards
And the necklace that you wore
With my name in a heart
I don't want 'em anymore
'Cause it's just too hard
Let it all fall down
Every perfect memory
Stacked in boxes on the street
Take what's left of you and me
'Cause all the love is-
All the love is gone
Every empty picture frame
All the shit that I tried to save
Name your price, you can have my pain
All the love is-, all the love is gone
All the love is-, all the love is gone
(All the love is gone)
I wish that I could wish you well
But I got no sympathy to sell
I hope you're happy with yourself, oh
(All the love is gone)
It's time to empty out the place
I used to love but now I hate
Name your price, you can have my pain
All the love is-, all the love is gone
All the love is-, all the love is gone
With the address below
I wrote the time and I circled in bold
Everything must go
The couch with a burn from your friend's cigarette
The guitar that you learned how to play when we met
The tables you turned on the night that you left
When it all fell down
Every perfect memory
Stacked in boxes on the street
Take what's left of you and me
'Cause all the love is-
All the love is gone
Every empty picture frame
All the shit that I tried to save
Name your price, you can have my pain
All the love is-, all the love is gone
All the love is-, all the love is gone
I tried to call but you didn't call back
To come and get you things
I thought about just striking a match
But it's hard to burn a memory
Oh, the dresser with the drawer
Full of birthday cards
And the necklace that you wore

You'll Be Alright, Kid
I wish I had the number to my younger self
I'd pick up the phone and say, "You're only twelve
And you've lost more than most people do
You don't know it now, but there's still more to lose
'Cause friends move away, and people get older
Your heart's gonna break over and over
You're not to blame, so don't blame yourself
I hope this helps"
You're gonna ask, "Why?"
You're gonna want answers
Gonna feel like no one ever understands you
You're gonna think twice before you start praying
Wonder when the walls will stop caving
Hate to be the one to tell you this
But you'll be alright, kid
I wish you knew the feeling wasn't permanent
I wish you knew your brother would come back again
And time does heal, but don't heal everything
If you knew it now, who you were gonna be
You might care less about what they think
Stop trying to impress the people who leave
It scares you to death, but don't take it hard
'Cause I know you are
You're gonna ask, "Why?"
You're gonna want answers
Gonna feel like no one ever understands you
You're gonna think twice before you start praying
And wonder when the walls will stop caving
Hate to be the one to tell you this
But you'll be alright
Growing up's not easy
But it's gonna get better
Growing up's not easy
Alone
You're gonna ask, "Why?"
You're gonna want answers
Gonna feel like no one ever understands you
You're gonna think twice before you start praying
You'll wonder when the walls will stop caving
Hate to be the one to tell you this
Hate to be the one to tell you this
But you'll be alright, kid
I'd pick up the phone and say, "You're only twelve
And you've lost more than most people do
You don't know it now, but there's still more to lose
'Cause friends move away, and people get older
Your heart's gonna break over and over
You're not to blame, so don't blame yourself
I hope this helps"
You're gonna ask, "Why?"

I wish you knew your brother would come back again
And time does heal, but don't heal everything
