Too Much

Move my things and change my ways
Got me hoping that you’ll stay, today
Got me wishing that we’ll figure this all out
But I know what you’ve been thinking about
Wait for me for a moment
Is it bad that I’m hoping?
Chorus:
Is this too much for you?
Am I not part of your plan
I told you from the start
I didn’t wanna break your heart
But if it’s too much
I’d understand
C’mon baby, tell me your needs
How I fall short in between, I mean
I’ve got everything you could ever want
It must be some mistake, I’m not getting a lot
Wait for me for a moment
Is it bad that I’m hoping?
Is this too much for you?
Am I not part of your plan
I told you from the start
I didn’t wanna break your heart
But if it’s too much
I’d understand
And I don’t know if it’s wrong
Gotta wonder if we belong
And if we do
Is this too much for you?
Am I not part of your plan
I told you from the start
I didn’t wanna break your heart
But if it’s too much
I’d understand
Too much x3

Figure out You

I know it’s been a rough road
Believe me, I know how it goes
But it’s no fault of mine
And it’s no fault of yours,
And that’s tough
It’s hard to think in your present state
I guess you’ve got a lot on your plate
But get in line, boy
We’ve got our own shit
You wanted someone to take all the blame
Don’t know what you want me to do
I’ve got my own lions to tame
When you’re stuck outside the zoo
Time to figure out
You
You
It’s hard to be a master
When you’ve lost what you’re going after
You
Time to figure out you
My bags are packed
My shoes are on
Don’t worry man,
I’ll write a song
About how we started out
We were driving in the dawn
But you wanted someone to take all the blame
Yes, I know what you want me to do
But I’m riding off on my lions I’ve tamed
Tell me, boy, have you found the zoo?
Time to figure out
You
You
It’s hard to be a master
When you’ve lost what you’re going after
You
Time to figure out you
And you worry ‘bout those days
When you know you’ll be far away
And you can’t stop thinking you’re wrong
Gotta figure out you
You
You
It’s hard to be a master
When you’ve lost what you’re going after
You
Time to figure out you
Yeah, oh no
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know

There
04:00
|

Walk across that fire below
Holding tight to the forces I know
There's a lot for me,
A lot you,
But not a lot between us
Butting heads, throwing stones
Being happy, being on my own
Wouldn't change
Cuz it'd be all their age
To be living here with you
But we don't have the time
Do you want to live away
Cuz I can take you there
Or do wanna stand and play
Cuz I know that's fair
I've got one more night to stay
Then I'll be going on my way
So if you want,
I'll take there
Getting higher and farther away
We're alright, cuz we've got another day
To figure out
What this all means
I’m not really sure, I think we're ripping the seams
But I've had a good time
Do you want to live away
Cuz I can take you there
Or do wanna stand and play
Cuz I know that's fair
I've got one more night to stay
Then I'll be going on my way
So if you want,
I'll take there
Cuz no one gets it right
Especially not us
So I'm leaving here tonight
So Help me to trust
That this is going nowhere
Cuz it's hard for me to leave alone
But don't be surprised when you
realize it's me calling on your phone
To say
Do you want to live away
Cuz I can take you there
Or do wanna stand and play
Cuz I know that's fair
I've got one more night to stay
Then I'll be going on my way
So if you want,
I'll take there

Give Me a Call

She was surprised, last night
By the kiss, I stole in the moonlight
Like an old, Hollywood movie scene
And the moment was just so right
There was music in her eyes
And I could hardly believe
It wasn't a dream
I said I'd like to call you
Sooner than later
She laughed and said
In awhile alligator
And when I got home
I found that she had phoned
And said
I had the
Time of my life, tonight
The things we talked about, it was
So amazing
Time of my life, tonight
And I hope,
You give me a call
I just hope,
You give me a call
Now I've been up, for awhile
Just wonderin' if my style
Could be something
She's looking for
'Cuz I'm really not that smooth
There's a lot of other guys to choose from
But I'll tell you what, huh,
She's adorable
It's 5AM,
And I wonder what she's doing
Get a life now, you know
She's sleeping
But I wonder, could she
Be dreaming about me
After all
She said
I had the
Time of my life, tonight
The things we talked about, it was
So amazing
Time of my life, tonight
And I hope,
You give me a call
I just hope,
You give me a call
Time of my life, tonight
Time of my life, tonight
Time of my life, tonight
And I hope,
You'll give me a call
I just hope,
You'll give me a call

Holding Me Down
04:10

You had nowhere else to be
You had your hopes in me
But I can change my mind
Your hope, is my hope
Deep inside
Where do we begin for those moment
We had?
Still have nothing to show for a win
I’m mad
I’m getting tired of you being near
I’m ready for changing
(Woah)
I’m steady, holdin’ my ground
(Woah)
So leave it to me
And I’ll set you free
This time, you’re not
Holding me down
You’re left here all alone
You had no one else to hold you close
You never realized
When you were to make it
That you could be a man
But now you gotta fake it
You’ve got no room to spare
I’m ready for changing
(Woah)
I’m steady, holdin’ my ground
(Woah)
So leave it to me
And I’ll set you free
This time, you’re not
Holding me down
(Chorus x 3)

Ribbon for Last Place
03:06
|
|||
|
Can't say
I understand
You've got a lot of
Blood on your hands, singing
Oh
You say,
You need your space
While I'm sitting here getting my
Ribbon for last place
I'm not here to change your mind
You've gotta do that on your own
You were right when you said
Love is blind
But wrong when you said
When in Rome
I know
You'll find someone, as long
As he's
Willing to run, chasin'
Oh
He might,
Try once or twice,
But he'll be gone
When he sees,
How you turn men to mice, singing
Oh
Scared him away,
Just another day
For you hit your mark
You've had fun and games
But you're acting the same
Like a shadow in the dark
I guess you needed some time
Away from being mine
But you had no place to go
Your eyes became wet
You wanted to forget
That I'm doing just fine
On my own
