Beach 02:24 video
You said remember how we used to drive so fast? Rolling the windows down like it'd make the summer last If I could find a way To that beach where we fell asleep I would be OK Buried a letter, a lost treasure For a future me, when I was young and carefree I guess we're not the same now, it's for the better We watch the seasons pass, sunburned skin weathered If I could find a way To that beach where we fell asleep I would be OK Buried a letter, a lost treasure For a future me, when I was young and carefree And as we sleep the sand erodes Out to sea, I lost something. Where'd it go? You said remember how we used to drive so fast?

Cold Feet 01:40
If life's about the journey then she's been in the back seat Miles and time, they've all passed by, fading out of sight and now She lies awake and thinks, what have I done? Maybe it's not too late, I could run I think about him when I see you baby But I haven't even seen you lately He keeps on checking off boxes to make her happy But it's been a while since he's seen a smile, A real one at least When she wakes up in the morning the house feels so small Shivering under the weight of what he'll have to hear her say Is it desperate, if I'm sincere When I say I don't know why I'm still here? I think about him when I see you baby But I haven't even seen you lately I think about him when I see you baby But I haven't even seen you lately

We did what you told us, followed the rules And look where it got us, you say we are fools To want the same things that you had before Now your house is burning down and you're running out the door And I say, I don't need your apathy Your judgement or your prayers I am not the problem, try looking in the mirror And maybe it's true that youth is wasted on the young, But who are you to waste lives that have only just begun? Lives getting shorter, stressed out, in debt As each day gets warmer, that's what we'll inherit I wish I could be half as lazy as they say Need a new direction, so get out of the way And I say, I don't need your apathy Your judgement or your prayers I am not the problem, try looking in the mirror And maybe it's true that youth is wasted on the young, But who are you to waste lives that have only just begun? Eat the young, eat the young, eat the young

Stitches and a crooked smile Mumble and shuffle that's your style They think you're ugly, I don't care, let them stare I know your insides are fine I wanna wake up next to you You were made for me from spare parts it's true And at night we come alive When lightning strikes I just wanna turn you on I flipped the switch but now you're gone If you love something then set it free, But why can't you love me? I wanna wake up next to you You were made for me from spare parts it's true And at night we come alive When lightning strikes We'll pick flowers We'll pick flowers We'll pick flowers You broke my heart Guess I'll dig another one up from the graveyard I wanna wake up next to you You were made for me from spare parts it's true And at night we come alive When lightning strikes We'll pick flowers We'll pick flowers

Cheap Date 03:37
Let's go for a ride Nothing's open, doesn't matter too much Where we're going We talked all night Sat in the parking lot radio playing On and on and on Let's blow this dusty town Wander the streets of a new city Be stars of our own movie Couldn't outrun the rain We get soaked and laugh it off, Doesn't matter anyway I just might get my hopes up tonight For what's on the horizon There's a sliver of red light On the edge of the night sky We said goodnight at dawn And I hope you'll call Let's get something to eat We have dinner at the mini mart While the rest of the world sleeps Took a penny from the tray So I can leave one for your thoughts Fleeting, I wish they would stay I just might get my hopes up tonight For what's on the horizon There's a sliver of red light On the edge of the night sky We said goodnight at dawn And I hope you'll call
