One Second Longer

[Verse 1:]
Days pass and I realize
After everything has come to light
After all the dust has settled
And the world seems to calm down
After all the men have meddled
In the breaking of the crown
Makes me realize
That you and I we aren’t so different
You and I, we couldn’t have meant it
We both got caught up in a way where we didn’t know where we were going
And I wish it hadn’t’ve come to this
But I’m definitely glad that it ended like it did
Makes me realize
[Chorus:]
That I, can't wait one single second longer
No I, can't wait one single second longer
No, no, no
[Verse 2:]
Days pass and I think about
All the futures I have dreamt aloud
About all the time spent thinking
Looking for the answers I wish I had
About all the good that was sinking
Wiped away by all the bad
Makes me realize
That you and I, there’s something there
Unrequited too much to bear
Makes me realize
[Chorus 2:]
That I, can't wait one single second longer
No I, Can't wait one single second longer
Oh I, Can't wait one single second longer
No I, Can't wait one single second longer
To be with you

Forget You

[Verse 1:]
You brought me to my knees but I still kiss the ground
It’s just another scar on me I’ve found
My head’s been aching ‘cause the air’s too thin
Lately I’m not telling people where I’ve been
And I know that it does me no good
To keep sitting here thinking about what could’ve been
But I know there’s nothing I can do
‘Cause you can’t expect this world to make sense
It’s a lesson that I’ve learned at my own expense
The only reason that I know there’s nothing to figure out
Is that I’ve been here one too many times to count
[Pre-Chorus:]
And I know
That it goes
The same way
Get haunted by these
[Chorus:]
Ghosts of my red-eyes past
They keep appearing
Because nothing lasts
And I know that it’s all in my head
With every single word that I wished you’d said
But there’s no one but me to blame
‘Cause I’m melting over old flames
I torture myself to remember
'Cause you lived your life while I was trying to forget you
[Verse 2:]
I got Stockholm Syndrome when it comes to you
I’m held hostage by that new tattoo
That you got right before you told me it was over
I never figured out why you were so cold
Or why you ended everything in the first place
Which makes this whole thing so damn hard to face
I got star-crossed eyes and a bleeding heart
Getting killed off by you never seemed so smart
[Pre-Chorus:]
And I know
That it goes
The same way
Get haunted by these
[Chorus:]
Ghosts of my red-eyes past
They keep appearing
Because nothing lasts
And I know that it’s all in my head
With every single word that I wished you’d said
But there’s no one but me to blame
‘Cause I’m melting over old flames
I torture myself to remember
'Cause you lived your life while I was trying to forget you
[Bridge:]
Well, you, give me this feeling like I wanna take a Xanax
When I see your face every part of me just panics
And I know that we don’t need these theatrics
But some of us are singers and some of us are manic
So I’m over here sitting wishing I could take a Prozac
Take away the pain of knowing time never goes back
And the more I look around the more I see everybody knows that
Except me, so I think
“Why do I get this feeling like..?”
[Chorus:]
Get Haunted by these
Ghosts of my red-eyes past
They keep appearing
Because nothing lasts
And I know that it’s all in my head
With every single word that I wished you’d said
But there’s no one but me to blame
‘Cause I’m melting over old flames
I torture myself to remember
'Cause you lived your life while I was trying to forget you

[Verse 1:]
A street sign in the dark
But I’ve been down this road before
A storm without an ark
A visit from a ghost
[Pre-Chorus:]
The gears all grind
Inside my mind
It must be getting old
The more I try
The more I find
I can’t believe what I’m told
[Chorus:]
And I want to quit, but I can’t show my hand
And I don’t expect you to understand
And I never wanted my past life to end
Bluff, but I’ve never been one to pretend
[Verse 2:]
A beautiful traitor
But I can’t say I blame her
An army of believers
An admission I need her
[Pre-Chorus:]
The gears all grind
Inside my mind
It must be getting old
The more I try
The more I find
I can’t believe what I’m told
[Chorus:]
And I want to quit, but I can’t show my hand
And I don’t expect you to understand
And I never wanted my past life to end
Bluff, but I’ve never been one to pretend
[Bridge:]
Oh my I seem to realize that they’ve been talking about me
And I bleed
Just like any other man would
Nail through the hand
Should I be pulling out my four-leaf clover
Got drunk off your love but now I feel hungover
Chemicals in my brain defame this fall from grace
And I can’t explain this rain cloud that’s been following me around
It’s so unlike me
Need someone to right me
Wake me up from this bad dream because it’s way too frightening
Wake me up, lying in my bed
Half awake and three words from dead
Found my way I just play pretend
Wait four years for this night to end
Finally reach the end of this pain
But I still can’t quite find the words to say
Hold back the lies, then watch them run away
And let the chips fall where they may
[Chorus:]
And I want to quit, but I can’t show my hand
And I don’t expect you to understand
And I never wanted my past life to end
Bluff, but I’ve never been one to pretend

Miss Communication

[Verse 1:]
Oh I’ve been around
Enough to know the girl
When I see her walking my direction
And I know enough
To look past the empty stares
And to pardon all the indiscretion
‘Cause she never really wanted to make a scene
She just got caught up in the make-believe
Said they love to watch you fall
But they never stick around when they make you bleed
She can’t be blamed for the drink she chased
With every bad choice she decided to make
But that won’t stop the kids from talking
No…
[Chorus:]
They call her Miss Communication
She talks with her hips
‘Cause she don’t got much to say
Darling I would wager
There’s a better use for lips
Than what you do to guys when they say
Let’s Dance
Let's Dance
[Verse 2:]
Blow the horn again
‘Cause it’s time for her to send
The callout to her loyal rejects
Paint the whole town red
‘Cause it’s easier than trying to send
The demons out of royal rehab
And she knows it’s no way to live
But she looks in the mirror and she thinks
“What do I got left to give?”
[Chorus:]
They call her Miss Communication
She talks with her hips
‘Cause she don’t got much to say
Darling I would wager
There’s a better use for lips
Than what you do to guys when they say
Let’s Dance
Let's Dance
[Bridge:]
Spend her life waiting for the turn around
She can feel it coming
Came here to listen to the music
But she wound up dancing to the drumming
[Repeat x4]
The beat never failed you
[Instrumental break]
Drop it
[Chorus:]
They call her Miss Communication
She talks with her hips
‘Cause she don’t got much to say
Darling I would wager
There’s a better use for lips
Than what you do to guys when they say
Let’s Dance
Let's Dance
[Outro:]
Let's Dance
Let's Dance
