Enemy

[Dan Reynolds:]
(Look out for yourself)

I wake up to the sounds
Of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around
With my ear up to the ground

I'm searching to behold
The stories that are told
When my back is to the world
That was smiling when I turned

Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us

Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y
(Look out for yourself)
But I'm ready

Your words up on the wall
As you're praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls
And the names that I've been called

I stack it in my mind
And I'm waiting for the time
When I show you what it's like
To be words spit in a mic

Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us
(Huh)

Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y
(Look out for yourself)

[JID:]
Uh, look, okay
I'm hoping that somebody pray for me
I'm praying that somebody hope for me
I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be
P-P-Posted
Being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever, just let me know
The road is long, so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy's on my trail, my energy unavailable
I'ma tell 'em hasta luego
They wanna plot on my trot to the top
I've been outta shape
Thinkin' out the box
I'm an astronaut
I blasted off the planet rock
To cause catastrophe
And it matters more because I had it not
Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition
Kinda shocking they wanted static
With precision, I'm automatic, quarterback, I ain't talkin' sacking
Pack it, pack it up, I don't panic
Batter, batter up
Who the baddest?
It don't matter 'cause we at ya throat

[Dan Reynolds:]
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy
Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy
(Pray it away, I swear)
(I'll never be a saint, no way)
My enemy
(Pray it away, I swear)
(I'll never be a saint)

(Look out for yourself)

My Life

Can I wish on a star for another life?
'Cause it feels like I'm all on my own tonight
And I find myself in pieces
There are pills on the table and a thought in my head
And I walk through the halls where I used to be led
My heart is filled with reasons

I'm tryin' to be somebody else
I'm findin' it hard to love myself
I've wanted to be somebody new
But that is impossible to do

I'm runnin' out of my mind
Is this really my life?
I'm runnin' out of time
Is this really my life? My life

I could run from it all but I'd only get lost
Oh, I've walked on the bridge that I shouldn't have crossed
And I find myself, a user
Oh, I wake every day with addictions to feed
They all call me a friend but I'll never be freed
From the face of a faithless future

I'm tryin' to be somebody else
I'm findin' it hard to love myself
I've wanted to be somebody new
But that is impossible to do

I'm runnin' out of my mind
Is this really my life?
I'm runnin' out of time
Is this really my life? My life

These years pass by and we're growin' older
And I think of you, all we've made it through
Some have passed away, some have moved on
But I'm still here today (I'm here today)

These years pass by and I'm growin' older
And I think of you, and all we've made it through
Some have passed away, there's no words to say
No second tries, is this my life?
And I think of you

I'm runnin' out of my mind
Is this really my life?
I'm runnin' out of time
Is this really my life? My life

Lonely

Sometimes, I can get a little
I can get a little lonely
Sometimes, I can get a little
I can get a little lonely

Some nights I get a little lonely
It's even when there's people all around me
Sometimes I get a little anxious
'Cause these pills don't work the way the doctor played it
I'm startin' to spin, needles and pins
Right on the brim, hand on a limb, takin' it in
Sleep it away, life in a day, and day in a life
Mixin' it up, checkin' it twice

Tryin' to breathe, startin' to seize
Lights camera action and scene
Story of my life

Oh, love (sometimes, I can get a little)
Have mercy (I can get a little lonely)
On me (sometimes, I can get a little)
And keep me company (I can get a little lonely)
I said, "Oh, love" (sometimes, I can get a little)
Have mercy (I can get a little lonely)
On me (sometimes, I can get a little)
And keep me company (I can get a little lonely)
I said

Sometimes I smile to keep things easy
I hide in corners, hope that no one sees me
So I'm playin' a role, ridin' the boat, stuck in a hole
Taking a bow, lookin' so proud
Look at me now talkin' about pills in my mouth
Under the tongue, isn't it fun?

Tryin' to breathe, startin' to seize
Lights camera action and scene
Story of my life, oh

Oh, love (sometimes, I can get a little)
Have mercy (I can get a little lonely)
On me (sometimes, I can get a little)
And keep me company (I can get a little lonely)
I said, "Oh, love" (sometimes, I can get a little)
Have mercy (I can get a little lonely)
On me (sometimes, I can get a little)
And keep me company (I can get a little lonely)

I said, "Oh, love" (keep me company, I said, I need the company)
(I said, I need the company) have mercy
(I said, oh love)
Oh, love, can you please have mercy on me?
(Keep me company, I said, I need the company)
(I said, I need the company) can you keep me company?
(I said)
L-O-N-E-L
Why am I so lonely?

Oh, love (sometimes, I can get a little)
Have mercy (I can get a little lonely)
On me (sometimes, I can get a little)
And keep me company (I can get a little lonely)
I said, "Oh, love" (sometimes, I can get a little)
Have mercy (I can get a little lonely)
On me (sometimes, I can get a little)
And keep me company (I can get a little lonely)
I said, "Oh l-"

Wrecked

Days pass by and my eyes stay dry and I think that I'm okay
'Til I find myself in conversation fading away
The way you smile, the way you walk
The time you took to teach me all that you had taught
Tell me, how am I supposed to move on?

These days I'm becoming everything that I hate
Wishing you were around, but now it's too late
My mind is a place that I can't escape your ghost
Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away
One more rainy day without you
Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day
One more rainy day

Oh, I'm a wreck without you here
Yeah, I'm a wreck since you've been gone
I've tried to put this all behind me
I think I was wrecked all along
Yeah, I'm a wreck

They say that the time will heal and the pain will go away
But everything, it reminds me of you and it comes in waves
Way you laugh and your shoulders shook
The time you took to teach me all that you had taught
Tell me, how am I supposed to move on?

These days I'm becoming everything that I hate
Wishing you were around, but now it's too late
My mind is a place that I can't escape your ghost
Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away
One more rainy day without you
Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day
One more rainy day

Oh, I'm a wreck without you here
Yeah, I'm a wreck since you've been gone
I've tried to put this all behind me
I think I was wrecked all along

These days when I'm on the brink of the edge
I remember the words that you said
"Remember the life you led"
You'd say, "Oh, suck it all up, don't get stuck in the mud
Thinking of things that you should have done"
I'll see you again, my loved one

I'll see you again, my loved one
Yeah, I'm a wreck
I'll see you again, my loved one

Yeah, I'm a wreck without you here (I'm a wreck without you here, loved one)
Yeah, I'm a wreck since you been gone (I'm a wreck since you've been gone)
I've tried to put this all behind me
I think I was wrecked all along (I'm a wreck)
Yeah, I'm a wreck

Sometimes I wish that I could wish it all away (but I can't)
One more rainy day without you (one more rainy day)
Sometimes I wish that I could see you one more day (but I can't)
One more rainy day

Monday

When you're down on your luck
I take the reigns, baby, turn it up
When you're faced to the floor
I turn the dial, turn it up, more
I'm there for you
Will you be there for me, too? Ooh

I believe (I believe) in a god (in a god)
I'm pound-for-pound, baby, turn it on
A million calls will never be, I never get enough of you

So underrated and a brand new start
Don't care what all the kids say
You've got the key to my heart
Ooh

When you call (when you call) on the phone (on the phone)
I never let you hear the dial tone
I believe (I believe) in your touch (in your touch)

So underrated (so underrated)

Give me loving, keep me going 'til the midnight hour
Bring me up, lift me up to your rainbow top
Your rainbow top

My Monday, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do
Monday, my, my Monday
My Monday
My Monday, do-do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do

#1

Could someone take me home where I'm supposed to be?
I'm on my back again, caught up in something
Could someone take me home? I could use a friendly face
Yeah, these leeches got to go
Yeah, I need a safe space

When am I gonna learn I've got to let things go?
Watching my candle burn, burn

'Cause I know what I'm meant to be
I don't need no one to believe
When it's all been said and done
I'm still my number one
'Cause I know what I'm meant to be
These people might not see
When it's all been said and done
I'm still my number one
Yeah, number one, two, three

You've let me down again, why am I surprised?
I'm on my back again, walking in the wind
I know how these things go (Oh)

When am I gonna learn I've got to let things go?
Watching my candle burn, burn

'Cause I know what I'm meant to be
I don't need no one to believe
When it's all been said and done
I'm still my number one
'Cause I know what I'm meant to be
These people might not see
When it's all been said and done
I'm still my number one

Still my number one as all these years go by
Still my number one, I'm still my number-

What do you take me, what do you take me for?
What do you take me for?
Doo, doo-doo-doo, doo
What do you take me, what do you take me for?
Yeah, I've been here through it all
Yeah, I'm still here

'Cause I know what I'm meant to be
I don't need no one to believe
When it's all been said and done
I'm still my number one
'Cause I know what I'm meant to be
And these people might not see
When it's all been said and done
I'm still my number one
I know what I'm meant to be (I know)
I don't need no one to believe (Yeah, I know)
When it's all been said and done (When it's all)
I'm still my number one (I know)
'Cause I know what I'm meant to be (I know)
These people might not see (I know)
When it's all been said and done
I'm still my number one

I'm still my number one
I'm still my number one

Easy Come Easy Go

All my friends are gone, I don't blame them
I guess I'll move on, do the same thing
So I wrote a song to be my lullaby
Sing me to sleep at night, open my third eye

I'm not gon' lie to you, I miss you so much
Tell me what I did wrong to lose touch?
I'm not gon' lie to you, this has been a hard year
How I wish that you were here

I just need to let it go, waitin' on a miracle
Guess that's just the way it goes, easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go, turn it down and lay low
It's just the way it goes, easy come, easy go

Sometimes I drive a little too fast
Think I'm runnin' from demons of my past
So I wrote a song to help me slow down
Keep my mind straight, but it's a bit late

I'm not gon' lie to you, I miss you so much
Tell me what I did wrong to lose touch?
I'm not gon' lie to you, this has been a hard year
How I wish that you were here

I just need to let it go, waitin' on a miracle
Guess that's just the way it goes, easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go, turn it down and lay low
It's just the way it goes, easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go (I just need to let it go)
Waitin' on a miracle (waitin' on a miracle)
Guess that's just the way it goes (guess that's just the way it goes)
Easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go (I just need to let it go)
Turn it down, and lay low (lay low)
It's just the way it goes (it's just the way it goes)
Easy come, easy go

Remember when you got sick, cancer of the bone
Everyone at school while you sittin' at home
In your wheelchair of grief, find no relief
We were there for the ups and downs and there for the constant rounds of chemo
Yeah, you know that you are our hero
You were there when I was a zero
And I swear I'll make things right before the long night
Swear I'll make things right tomorrow
But as for tonight

I just need to let it go (I just need to let it go)
Waitin' on a miracle (waitin' on a miracle)
Guess that's just the way it goes (guess that's just the way it goes)
Easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go (I just need to let it go)
Turn it down, and lay low (lay low)
It's just the way it goes (it's just the way it goes)
Easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go (I just need to let it go)
Waitin' on a miracle (waitin' on a miracle)
Guess that's just the way it goes (guess that's just the way it goes)
Easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go (I just need to let it go)
Turn it down, and lay low (lay low)
It's just the way it goes (it's just the way it goes)
Easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go (I just need to let it go)
Waitin' on a miracle (waitin' on a miracle)
Guess that's just the way it goes (guess that's just the way it goes)
Easy come, easy go
I just need to let it go (I just need to let it go)
Turn it down, and lay low (lay low)
It's just the way it goes (it's just the way it goes)
Easy come, easy go

Giants

You take a hit of anything
To escape it all or suffocating
The sharpen blade of reality
Sometimes it wanna hurt me
I know it's hard to hear but I'm
Waitin' for the new year
Don't wanna waste my life chasin' white
Try to swim towards the light

Comin' up for air in the deepest of the deep ends
I thought I learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
Sleepin' with giants, I'm tip-toein' quietly
Feelin' it all, it's sobriety
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) got so tired of feelin' numb
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) but take a look what I've become
Sleepin' with giants, I'm tip-toein' quietly
Feelin' it all, it's sobriety

Wanna make you proud of me
But slowly I'm killing me
Playing with chemistry
Floating to the ceiling
Always rock 'n' roll 'til you die, you know, you been flyin'
Now I'm shaking your knife, sweating the sheets out
Grinding my teeth out but still the world will glamorize it all

Comin' up for air in the deepest of the deep ends
I thought I learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
Sleepin' with giants, I'm tip-toein' quietly
Feelin' it all, it's sobriety
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) got so tired of feelin' numb
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) but take a look what I've become
Sleepin' with giants, I'm tip-toein' quietly
Feelin' it all, it's sobriety

If I could leave one thing for you
It's exactly what not to do
I'm so proud of you

Take a look what I've become
Oh, take a look what I've

Comin' up for air in the deepest of the deep ends
I thought I learned it all, but boom, the plot thickens
Sleepin' with giants, I'm tip-toein' quietly
Feelin' it all, it's sobriety
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) got so tired of feelin' numb
(La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la) but take a look what I've become
Sleepin' with giants, I'm tip-toein' quietly
Feelin' it all, it's sobriety

It's Ok

She could always hear every word they say
Everybody walks like they just know the way
Every single day, holdin' back the tears
She'd never say a word 'cause there's nobody that hears

It's okay to be not okay
It's just fine to be out of your mind
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time (ooh, ooh)
'Cause it's okay to be out of your mind, mind

Mine is broken, how is yours?
Sure it helps to hear the news and political discourse
Fear, that is what he felt
Every single day, 'cause all the boys would play
Don't you dare be weak, emasculated freak
Last up on the fence, tell me where's the sense?

It's okay to be not okay
It's just fine to be out of your mind
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time (ooh, ooh)
'Cause it's okay to be out of your mind

I don't want this body, I don't want this voice
I don't wanna be here but I guess I have no choice
Just let me live my truth, that's all I wanna do
Baby, you're not broken, just a little bit confused

It's okay to be not okay (I need you here with me)
It's just fine to be out of your mind (I can't do it all alone)
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time (just a day at a time)
'Cause it's okay to be out of your mind (it's okay, out of your mind)
It's okay to be not okay (I need you here with me)
It's just fine to be out of your mind (I can't do it all alone)
Breathe in deep, just a day at a time (just a day at a time)
'Cause it's okay to be out of your mind (it's okay, out of your mind)
(Ga-da, la-la, la-la, la-la, la)

Da, da, da, da-da
Da, da, da, da-da
Da, da, da, da-da

Dull Knives

I'm holding my breath, holding so tight
Nothing is wrong, nothing is right
I'm in the dark, looking for light
Won't someone please save my life?
Inside I'm a mess but I don't let it show
We're just hanging on but you'd never know
I smile all day and cry through the night
Won't someone please save my life?
Is fleeting

Dull knives
Taking my life
A slow burn fire
From the inside
Dull knives
Twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind

A smoldering flame, deep in my heart
Barely a sight, it's barely a spark
Holding on through, every night
Won't someone please save my life?
I'm crying for help, it's such a cliché
Invisible pain, it's filling each day
I open my mouth and feed you a lie
Won't someone please save my life?
Is fleeting
No repeating

Dull knives
Taking my life
A slow burn fire
From the inside
Dull knives
Twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind

Dull knives
Ripping from the inside
Spare me the ride

From the inside
Dull knives
Twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind
Dull knives

Follow You

You know I got your number, number all night
I'm always on your team, I got your back alright
Taking those, taking those losses if it treats you right
I want to put you into the spotlight
If the world would only know what you've been holding back
Heart attacks every night
Oh, you know it's not right

I will follow you way down wherever you may go
I'll follow you way down to your deepest low
I'll always be around wherever life takes you
You know I'll follow you

Call you up, you've been cryin', cryin' all night
You're only disappointed in yourself, alright
Taking those, taking those losses if it treats you right
I wanna take you into the sunlight
If the world would only know what you've been holding back
Heart attacks every night
Oh, you know it's not right

I will follow you way down wherever you may go
I'll follow you way down to your deepest low
I'll always be around wherever life takes you
You know I'll follow you
Ba-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da
You know I'll follow you
La-da-da-da-da
Wherever life takes you, you know I'll follow you

You're not the type to give herself enough love
She live her life, hand in a tight glove
I wish that I could fix it, I could fix it for you
But instead I'll be right here comin' through
(Right here, comin' through)

I will follow you way down wherever you may go
I'll follow you way down to your deepest low
I'll always be around wherever life takes you
You know I'll follow you
Ba-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da
You know I'll follow you
La-da-da-da-da
Wherever life takes you, you know I'll follow you

Cutthroat

I've been waiting patiently
I built this tower quietly
And when my well of Wellbutrin is
Running dry of serotonin
I can say things I don't mean
Or maybe it's the truth in me
I feel it building, bubbling up
My t-t-time is up

I'm so (mis-) misunderstood, (-un) but I live for this (-der)
My money's good (-stood), and I came to win
(Mis-) so step on up (-un), and I promise you

Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
(Cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
(Cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us gon' make it out alive

I've been making my Gethsemane
Since I was young my ancestry
Was marching martyrdom across the
Ra-da-da-da-da-da, plains of Utah
I can't lie, I've been played
By powerful people who get their way
But I in time will climb my mountain
I in time will rise

I'm so (mis-) misunderstood, (-un) but I live for this (-der)
My money's good (-stood), and I came to win
(Mis-) so step on up (-un), and I promise you
Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
(Cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us gon' make it out alive and it's not you
(Cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us gon' make it out alive

Try me
Try me (ra-da-da-da-da-da)
Cutthroat

Only one of us
Only one of us
Not you (cutthroat)
Only one of us
Only one of us
Only one of us

(Get on the knee, get on the knee, get on the knee)
(Get on the knee, get on the knee, get on the knee)
(Get on the knee, get on the knee)

Cutthroat (get on the knee)
Cutthroat (get on the knee, get, get, get)
Cutthroat (get, get, get, get, get, get, get)
Cutthroat

One Day

I know that one day I'll be that one
Thing that makes you happy
I know I'll keep you laughin'
Your sun on a cloudy day
The feel of a perfect wave
It's crashin' upon your face
Yeah, I know that one day, one day

Birds outside will sing me a song tonight
I know that it's right on time, time
Twee-da-da-da
Life flies by the moon and the midnight sky
Is guiding me to your side, side

I know that one day I'll be that one
Thing that makes you happy
I know I'll keep you laughin'
Your sun on a cloudy day
The feel of a perfect wave
It's crashin' upon your face
Yeah, I know that one day, one day

Can we run away to a place
That children play in the grassy fields
Twee-da-da-da
I know they're tellin' you things that you put in your head, head
Promise that you are better off without them

I know that one day I'll be that one
Thing that makes you happy
I know I'll keep you laughin'
Your sun on a cloudy day
The feel of a perfect wave
It's crashin' upon your face
Yeah, I know that one day, one day

One day I'll be that one (one, one, one)
Thing that makes you happy
I know I'll keep you laughin'
Your sun on a cloudy day (one, one, one)
The feel of a perfect way
If it's crashin' upon your face
Yeah, I know that one day, one day

Ooh
One day
Ooh
One day

Bones

Gimme, gimme, gimme some time to think
I'm in the bathroom, looking at me
Face in the mirror is all I need (ooh)
Wait until the reaper takes my life
Never gonna get me out alive
I will live a thousand million lives (ooh)

My patience is waning
Is this entertaining?
Our patience is waning
Is this entertaining?

I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know
Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in my bones

Playing with a stick of dynamite
There was never gray in black and white
There was never wrong 'til there was right (ooh, oh)
Feeling like a boulder hurtling
Seeing all the vultures circling
Burning in the flames I'm working in
Turning in a bed that's darkening

My patience is waning
Is this entertaining?
Our patience is waning
Is this entertaining?

I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know
Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones (in my bones)
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in my bones

'Cause there's magic in my bones

Look in the mirror of my mind
Turning the pages of my life
Walking the path so many paced a million times
Drown out the voices in the air
Leaving the ones that never cared
Picking the pieces up and building to the sky

My patience is waning
Is this entertaining?
My patience is waning
Is this entertaining?

I-I-I got this feeling, yeah, you know
Where I'm losing all control
'Cause there's magic in my bones (magic in my bones)
I-I-I got this feeling in my soul (soul)
Go ahead and throw your stones
'Cause there's magic in

There goes my mind (I-I-I)
Don't mind
There goes my mind (there it goes, there it goes)
There goes my mind (I-I-I)
Don't mind (there it goes)
There goes my mind
'Cause there's magic in my bones

Symphony

Ever since I's young (coming up, coming up)
Always marching to a drum (bra da dum, bra da dum)
Always focused on me (one one, one one)
Now I wish that I could hold someone (someone)

So tell my mom I love her, call my baby sister
Should've hug and kissed her
'Cause life is just a mystery
And it's gone before you know it
So if you love me, won't you show it? Oh

'Cause this life is one big symphony
This night is one for you and me
I'm the strings and you're the timpani
You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony

She was the piano, I'm the xylophone
You can have the trumpet, I'm the saxophone

Life a skipping rope (keep going, keep going)
Finding solace in a note (dote dote, dote dote)
Had to struggle when I's broke (so low, so low)
Writing music just to cope (no hope, no hope)

Yeah, life is just perspective
Laughing when you've wrecked it
Smiling when you kept it together
You weathered the storm
At the end of the play, you sang all the way
Doesn't matter how off-key
If you did it your way

This life is one big symphony
This night is one for you and me
I'm the strings and you're the timpani
You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony

Would you care if I played you the flute?
See, it's my favorite one because it's so delicate and beautiful
I pull out the trombone if it's more suitable
Wanna make you smile
It's been a little while since I've seen the white of your teeth
Been a hard year
Lucky the guitar's here

Life is just one big symphony

'Cause this life is one big symphony
This night is one for you and me
I'm the strings and you're the timpani
You're my constant tambourine
This life is one big symphony
So glad I've got you next to me
I'm the chords and you're the melody
This life's one big symphony

Sharks

Trouble
Blood is in the rocky waters
Hide away your sons and daughters
Eat you alive
Levels
Better put your head on swivels
Dancing with the very devil
Butter to knife

You think you're better than them
Better than them
You think they're really your friends
Really your friends
But when it comes to the end
To the end
You're just the same as them
Same as them

So let it go, let it go
That's the way that it goes
First you're in, then you're out
Everybody knows
You're hot, then you're cold
You're a light in the dark
Just you wait and you'll see
That you're swimmin' with sharks

He's comin' to get you (woo-woo)
He's comin' to get you, get you (woo)

Bubbles
Drownin', you see in doubles
Don't you let 'em see your struggles
Hiding your tears
Crisis
Take advantage off your niceness
Cut you up in even slices
Prey on your fear

You think you're better than them
Better than them (you think you're better)
You think they're really your friends
Really your friends (really)
But when it comes to the end
To the end (oh, no)
You're just the same as them
Same as them

So let it go, let it go
That's the way that it goes
First you're in, then you're out
Everybody knows (ooh)
You're hot, then you're cold
You're a light in the dark
Just you wait and you'll see
That you're swimmin' with sharks

Your blood is pumping (he's comin' to get you)
Don't take it from me (woo-woo)
Your blood is pumping (he's comin' to get you, get you)
Don't take it from me
Your blood is pumping (he's comin' to get you)
Don't take it from me (woo-woo)
Your blood is pumping (he's comin' to get you, get you)
Don't take it from me

Every time my heart is beating, I can feel the recipe
I wonder if my day is coming, blame it on the entropy
My blood is pumping, I can see the end is right in front of me
Don't take it from me, I could be everything, everything
(Sharks)
Don't take it from me
My blood is pumping, my blood is pumping (sharks)
Don't take it from me, I could be everything, everything

So let it go, let it go
That's the way that it goes
First you're in, then you're out
Everybody knows
You're hot, then you're cold
You're a light in the dark
Just you wait and you'll see
That you're swimmin' with sharks

Your blood is pumping (he's comin' to get you)
Don't take it from me (woo-woo)
Your blood is pumping (he's comin' to get you, get you)
Don't take it from me
Your blood is pumping (he's comin' to get you)
Don't take it from me
Your blood is pumping (he's comin' to get you, get you)
Don't take it from me

I Don't Like Myself

One day, I'll change my ways
'Til then, I'm stuck in this space
Shut down and hiding my face
Tuned out and losing my faith

Stand up, tired of being a victim
You only on the outs if you with 'em
Only hurts if you give 'em credence (uh)
Give 'em reasons (uh)
They're not better than you
They're just a figment of imagination

There are times when I don't like myself
I believe all the things that they say about me
I wanna love myself just like everyone else
But there are times when I don't like myself

This life is beating me down
But karma is coming around
Tongue-tied, and you got the best of me
A nightmare that's filling my dreams

Stand up, tired of being a victim
You only on the outs if you with 'em
Only hurts if you give 'em credence (uh)
Give 'em reasons (uh)
They're not better than you
They're just a figment of imagination

There are times when I don't like myself (there are times)
I believe all the things that they say about me ('bout me)
I wanna love myself, just like everyone else
But there are times when I don't like myself

I-da-da, da-da, I don't like myself
I-da-da, da-da, I don't like myself

I'll walk through fire for this
I will be the one to turn this car around
'Cause it's headed for disaster
No happily ever after
And I've got so much more to live for
Than what you think of me

There are times when I don't like myself
I believe all the things that they say about me ('bout me)
I wanna love myself, just like everyone else
But there are times when I don't like myself

I-da-da, da-da, I don't like myself
I-da-da, da-da, I don't like myself
I-da, I-da, I-da, I don't, I-da, li-li-li-li-like myself
I-da, like myself
I-da, like myself
I-da, like myself

Blur

I'm always looking for
Something I can't afford
Something to work for
I don't know if it's healthy
Oh God, help me
I wanna be satisfied with what I have
I'm always chasing higher placement
This bump is not enough
And when I (hoo) hit the pavement
Don't save me
I'm such a waste of space

I'm always waiting for the weekend
I'm always hoping for a reset
I will be happy when I'm older
Why is everything never good enough for me?
Why is everything never

I'm never satisfied, I'm
Starting to blur
Waiting for the tide to wash me out
Clean me up
'Cause I am starting to blur
Yeah, I'm starting to blur

I'm always waking up
Looking to fill my cup
I'm such a loser
'Cause I got it all right in front of me
Everything I could need
I want to be satisfied with what I have
If I put that smile on
I turn my light on
Maybe I believe it too
But I don't know if my head's right
I'm waking all night
(You should give up the fight)

I'm always waiting for the weekend
I'm always hoping for a reset
I will be happy when I'm older
Why is everything never good enough for me?
Why is everything never

I'm never satisfied, I'm
Starting to blur
Waiting for the tide to wash me out
Clean me up
'Cause I am starting to blur
I'm never satisfied, I'm
Starting to blur
Waiting for the tide to wash me out
Clean me up
'Cause I am starting to blur (woo)

Higher Ground

I know when my day will come
Go back to the place that I came from
Lookin' back, will I think that I did it right?
I still don't sleep at night
I got these symphonies stuck in my head
And they don't leave
Fillin' up the silence with these notes
I don't want them to go

Ghosts follow me around these days
Haunting my head and house
My mind is crazy loud
But I won't give in to it
Take it all in stride

This life is such a ride
I live until I die
I walk into the fire
I'm searching for the higher ground
What a life
I live until I die
Won't fail unless I try
I'm searching for the higher ground

I've got that golden gun
I was born as the seventh son
Everything comes with conditions
Everyone's got their dirty dishes
I've got these memories
Stuck in my head, and they won't leave
Filling up my treetops with these crows
I wish that they would go

This life is such a ride
I live until I die
I walk into the fire
I'm searching for the higher ground
What a life
I live until I die
Won't fail unless I try
I'm searching for the higher

This life is such a ride
I live until I die
I walk into the fire
I'm searching for the higher ground
What a life
I live until I die
Won't fail unless I try
I'm searching for the higher ground

Get it, got it, want it
Tell me what to do and I'm on it
I am the witness, the genesis, the reason
Get it, got it, want it
Tell me what to do and I'm on it
I am the witness, the witness, the witness

This life is such a ride
I live until I die
I walk into the fire
I'm searching for the higher ground
What a life
I live until I die
Won't fail unless I try
Bleeding, keep on breathing

Higher ground
Hey, hey
Higher, higher
Higher, higher ground
Higher ground
Hey, hey
Higher, higher
Higher, higher ground

Crushed

I suppose she's supposed to be exactly what they want her to be
So pretty in pink
Necklace and ring, don't be heard, just be seen
But that's not who I am
She said I can feel, I can feel too much
And I wish they'd go away, go away
'Cause it's crushing me
It's crushing me

Don't you know that you don't have a say and the scarlet "A" on
Your neck, so pretty in red, eyes are all dead
What they haven't said gets stuck in your head
The silence is deafening and your heart is bleeding out
But they don't care, no, they never cared at all
They never cared at all
That's not who I am

She said, I can feel, I can feel too much
And I wish they'd go away, go away
'Cause it's crushing me
It's crushing me
It's crushing me
It's crushing me
She just wants to be free, take it or leave it

Eyes like the sunrise
Colorful rainbow

She said, I can feel, I can feel too much
And I wish it'd go away, go away
'Cause they're crushing me
They're crushing me, oh

(I can feel, I can feel too much)
They're crushing me
(I can feel, I can feel too much)
Oh, they're crushing me
(I can feel, I can feel)

Crushing me
Crash down on me
Crash down on me

Take It Easy

Last week, I came to you
I didn't know what to do
Yeah, man sometimes I lie
But sometimes I can tell the truth
I want my money back
Life's one big heart attack
Yeah, man, my throat is dry
Someday, everybody's gonna die

Take it easy on me
I need some lullabies
They tell me heaven's just a lie
Well, I'm not surprised
Tell me that you know, no, you don't
Yeah, you're just like me
Can't we just all hope for the best
Take it easy

Money don't grow on trees
I'm such a greedy thief
Spend my life, I'm huntin'
Keep drinkin' just to find relief
My auntie's pretty cool
She did real well in school
But she still don't know
Where we really go

Take it easy on me
I need some lullabies
They tell me heaven's just a lie
Well, I'm not surprised
Tell me that you know, no, you don't
Yeah, you're just like me
Can't we just all hope for the best
Take it easy

Yeah, take it easy
I don't wanna hear no more of that talk
Not around here, come on

Take it easy on me
I need some lullabies
They tell me heaven's just a lie
Well, I'm not surprised
Tell me that you know, no, you don't
Yeah, you're just like me
Can't we just all hope for the best
Take it easy
Take it easy

La, da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da

La, da-da-da
Da-da-da

Waves

Twenty-one years, she figured it out
She started a job, she's feeling it out
And for once, it feels right
Was feeling like the prime of her life
But all of that is just a dream
Shattered now and everything's changed
With one car and one night
Was driving through the prime of your life

Took your freedom, there's no reason
Just keep breathing, time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life, it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves

Eleven years old, my only friend
You'd taken me in, but where was I?
When he took his life
Oh, I was singing in the prime of my life

Where was I when you were calling?
I can't go back, time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Live in regret, or eye to the future?
I'd rather be here, thinking about the now
'Cause this breath could fade fast
And this day could be your last

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So own all your tears and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Life it could change, it could change in a day
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
So cherish your years and just roll with the waves
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

I'm Happy

What's wrong with me?
Is there somebody else inside my head
That doesn't want me to be happy?
I know my rights, I live until I die
I've got this bed, each night I go to sleep and dream
I'm swimmin' in the deep end
You're my buoy and I'm sinkin'
Life flies by me but I'm thinkin'
You saved my life and now

I'm happy
'Cause finally I feel I got it all
Started out with nothing at all
And even when I might fall down
I know my luck come back around

They tellin' me that I should love myself
Sometimes I fail, but then you hit me like a whiplash
Yellin' in my corner
She's a wild one, yes, I should warn ya
Life flies by me every morning
You saved my life and now

I'm happy
'Cause finally, I feel I got it all
Started out with nothing at all
And even when I might fall down
I know my luck come back around

They tell me to write a paragraph of everything, I
Love about me
Write a paragraph and send it in the mail
To a future me, that's trying desperately
To start a family
Teach them to love themselves
Teach them to love themselves
Teach them to love themselves

I'm happy
'Cause finally I feel I got it all
Started out with nothing at all
And even when I might fall down
I know my luck come back around

I'm happy
'Cause finally I feel I got it all
Started out with nothing at all
And even when I might fall down
I know my luck come back around

(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
(Happy, happy, happy, happy)
(Ha)

Ferris Wheel

He's never gonna treat you right, I'm sure
He's never gonna kiss you like he should
He's never gonna tuck you in at night
You've always been afraid to settle down
And I don't even blame you 'cause look how
These boys are now

Promise that I'll make you feel
Like we're on a ferris wheel
We're always young and innocent
I promise you when things get hard
Our love will be strong enough
I know we'll last, I'm confident

I don't mean to speak in fairy tales
But we have had some heaven and some hell
And I can only speak for myself
And I'm speechless
You've always been afraid to claim this town
And I don't even blame you 'cause look how
These boys are now

Promise that I'll make you feel
Like we're on a Ferris Wheel
We're always young and innocent
I promise you when things get hard
Our love will be strong enough
I know we'll last, I'm confident

'Cause when birds fly south, it's a beautiful thing
Buy a big white house and a diamond ring
Leave it all behind, leave it all behind
'Cause when birds fly south, it's a beautiful thing
Buy a big white house and a diamond ring
Leave it all behind, leave it all behind

Promise that I'll make you feel
Like we're on a Ferris Wheel
We're always young and innocent
I promise you when things get hard
Our love will be strong enough
I know we'll last, I'm confident

I know we'll last, I'm confident

Peace Of Mind

I had a dream that I lost everything (everything)
All that I'd worked for was gone
Goodness me (goodness me)
But I felt the same as I do right now
Everything is meaningless
At least that's how it feels
Feels real bad

Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind
I try every time
But can't get no peace of mind (mind)

I've got so much to be happy about (happy about)
I'm always focused on things that amount to nothing
Yeah, I think I'm a little depressed (depressed, depressed)
Everything is meaningless
At least that's how it feels
Feels real bad

Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind
I try every time
But can't get no peace of mind (mind)
No peace of mind
Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind (mind)

But then you came into my life
You made me laugh for the first time
In a real long while

Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind
I try every time
But can't get no peace of mind (mind)
No peace of mind (peace of mind)
Try as I might
I can't get no peace of mind (peace of mind)

Do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do, do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Sirens

Fall right down to the bottom
Boy with a motto
Stay but I oughta leave and
Trust me, my heart bleeds
I feel everything, I
Drip, drop, drink out of the bottle
Boy with a heart of gold
Get run over by heaven knows what
Weary solider, I get older
Life gets colder

Sometimes I get a little bit scared at night
I get a little preoccupied
The sirens in my mind
The sirens in my mind
I just wanna be good again
I wanna make it to the end
The sirens in my mind
The sirens in my mind

Autumn, stuck in the grotto
Been trying for the lottery but never win
My heart bleeds
I feel everything, I
Drop, drop way down to the bottom
Boy with a heart of gold
Get run over by heaven knows what
Weary solider, I get older
Life gets colder

Sometimes I get a little bit scared at night
I get a little preoccupied
The sirens in my mind
The sirens in my mind
I just wanna be good again
I wanna make it to the end
The sirens in my mind
The sirens in my mind

(Oh, sirens in my mind, the sirens in my mind)
Sirens, sirens
Sirens, sirens
Sirens in my mind

Tied

All this time I've spent with you
All that we've been through
Still we're holding on
All this time I've spent with you
I am tied to you

You call me up
Just to say
You think we're better off this way
Leaves may fall
Seasons change
Yet we remain

A year away
A year alone
The tears have fallen
But we have grown
The sun will rise
The seasons change
And here we are

All this time I've spent with you
All that we've been through
And we're holding on
All this time I've spent with you
Still I am tied to you

I call you up just to say
How much I've thought of you today
The leaves have fallen
The seasons change
Yet we remain

A year has passed
Our children grow
And in their eyes
I see your soul
The sun grows bright
The rain has gone
And here we are

All this time I've spent with you
All that we've been through
And still we're holding on
All this time I've spent with you
I am tied to you

Time will heal our hearts, but
Were we doomed from the start or
Were we planned in the stars or
Is there any God at all?

Still we're holding on
All this time I've spent with you
All that we've been through
Still we're holding on
All this time I've spent with you
I am tied to you

Younger

Seems there's something in the air today
It's got me feeling, oh, a certain way
Seems like lately, I've been on the run
It's got me reeling every night I'm done

Keep thinking, what am I supposed to do?
My body's not working like it used to
And these bills keep piling up on me
Remember when I had no responsibilities

So take me back when I was younger
And I was still hungry, oh
Take me back when I was younger
Yeah, I got the world at my feet
Just try and stop me (just try and stop me)
Yeah, take me back when I was younger

Watching all my friends pass away
When they promised me that they would be here today
I wish that I could put a force field
Around every single one of us
I would protect you from everything
(I'd put a force field) All around us
And ground us forever and ever

I keep on walking down the same streets (same streets)
I keep on acting like I never left (like I never left)
I keep on walking down the same streets (same streets)
And I'll never leave

So take me back when I was younger
And I was still hungry
Take me back when I was younger
Yeah, I got the world at my feet
Just try and stop me (just try and stop me)
Yeah, take me back when I was younger

I don't want to be forever
But I don't want to grow older
Oh, take me back when I was younger
When I was still hungry
When I still had it in me
Take me

(Just try and stop me) So take me back when I was younger
(I keep on walking down the same streets) And I was still hungry
(I keep on acting like I never left) Take me back when I was younger
(I keep on walking down the same streets) Yeah, I got the world at my feet
Just try and stop me (and I'll never leave)
Take me back when I was younger

I Wish

I never called you and now it's too late
To say all the words that I've wanted to say
The doctor said, "Oh, there's a fight up ahead"
I should've been there by your hospital bed

So it rains every day, oh, it rains every day
No, I haven't got the words to say

How I wish I was a better friend
Before it was too late
I wish that I would've been there in the end
I wish I was a better friend

I wasn't there when you said your goodbye and I
Replay in my mind 'bout a thousand times
I wasn't there for those rivers you cried
I was always too busy, no, I didn't make the time

So it rains every day, oh, it rains every day
I haven't got the words to say

How I wish I was a better friend
Before it was too late
I wish that I would've been there in the end
I wish I was a better friend

And every day, I wish you were here
Oh, every day I wish
Oh, every minute of every year
I swear I feel you near
Near me

How I wish I was (how I wish) a better friend (better friend)
Before it was too late
I wish that I would've been there in the end
I wish I was a better friend

Continual

Take my word
I promise you I'll come through
Take my word
I promise you I'll be true

I'm there for you
I'm there for you
I'm there for you
I promise you I'll come through
I'm your continual truth

Speak no lies
I just wanna hear the truth
I'm done with all the miracles
Except for you
Is it my fault
If I'm something of a skeptic?
I've been burned before
Except by you

So my take my word
I promise you I'll come through (promise you I'll come)
Yeah, take my word
I promise you I'll be true

I'm there for you
I'm there for you
I'm there for you
I promise you I'll come through
I'm your continual truth (continual truth)

Do, pray, tell
Of the beauty that inspires you
It's something of a miracle
When you do what you do
Give me faith again (faith)
Give me all the answers
I'll follow you blindly
Pray you don't deceive me

So take my word (take my word)
I promise you I'll come through (promise you I'll be)
Take my word (take my word)
I promise you I'll be true

I'm there for you (there for you)
I'm there for you (there for you)
I'm there for you (there for you)
I'm there for you (there for you)
I'm there for you (there for you)
I'm there for you (there for you)
I'm there for you (there for you)
I'm there for you (there for you)

I'm there for you
I promise you I'll come through
I'm your continual truth

They Don't Know You Like I Do

He was never gonna make it
Every pill he found, he'd take it
Always on the edge of breakdowns
But keeping it together somehow
Just another cold November
You called me, but I didn't answer
I was so oblivious, now I'm asking for forgiveness

For every single time I failed you
I'm feeling like it's me that killed you
Remembering the time they jumped you
And I was too scared to help you
Looking back, I can't erase it, I guess it's time to face it
You never seem to know how to let it all go

Don't listen to a single word they say about you
They don't know you like I do
Don't listen to a single word they say about you
They don't know you like I do

Everybody saw you smiling, yeah, you were always good at hiding
You were always asking questions so you wouldn't draw attention
Everyone who used you, they never really knew you
You're always showing up for everybody but yourself

See, I wish I could take it back, change the future and erase the past
Grab the bullet out and pull you back
I promise that I'd save your life like you saved mine
But now it's far too late for that, and all I have is your story left to tell
So let me tell it, let me tell

Don't listen to a single word they say about you
They don't know you like I do
Don't listen to a single word they say about you
They don't know you like I do
