| 1 | I Think We'd Feel Good Together |
Lyrics
I Think We'd Feel Good TogetherWell I want to get to know you What's your name? And tell me what I'm gonna have to go through Are you game? To take a drive anywhere you want to We'll leave these people behind I don't know why I just imagine you're a good time So you wanna get to know me? Well then, hey Well that's a start I'll treat you like a picture In a frame A work of art I think I want to paint you And then I want to hang you In my bedroom over my head [Chorus:] Hey, wait up baby Well I really want to know you better And maybe you can stay one night Or stay forever I think we'd feel good together Say you wanna go to my place? Well, okay I'm kind of wild Moving at a fast pace Slow down baby Have some wine, have a little champagne We got no reason to rush Cause soon enough I'm gonna do some things that make you blush Do you like a little music? Marvin Gaye? What's going on? I like the way you move it When you sway I like the way you bump and grind do you mind if I take a little more time You're so fine but I can't believe you're mine even only tonight [Chorus:] Hey, wait up baby Well I really want to know you better And maybe you can stay one night Or stay forever I think we'd feel good together Wait up baby Cause I only want to know you better And maybe you can stay one night Or stay forever I think we'd feel good together And in the morning when the sun comes up You don't have to leave it's up to you But I know that when I rise I see that look in your eyes I'll be thinking it's too good for only a night Hey, hey, too good for only a night Hey hey [Chorus:] Hey, wait up baby Well I really want to know you better And maybe you can stay one night Or stay forever I think we'd feel good together Wait up baby Cause I only want to know you better And maybe you can stay one night Or stay forever I think we'd feel good together Yeah, oh yeah And if you'd only want to stay one night or stay forever I think we'd feel good together |

| 2 | Trust You |
Lyrics
Trust YouAll my friends say "when you gon' play?" I'm always too busy, I don't need to stay up late But I change my mind when I see your face Cause I trust you Now it's on like Revlon, middle of the night Gimme just a minute, man, I'm higher than a kite And I can't come down, but I know I'll be all right Because I trust you [Chorus:] When you say "hey, come on," I know I really, really want to I trust you When I stay, I know I really ought to go But then I trust you I trust you I trust you When you say "hey, come on" I know I will because I trust you I trust you I like to think that I am reasonable But I can't tell you why I'm down on the floor I check my hair, but I don't know what it's for I know tomorrow that I'll trust you some more [Chorus] I keep on making bad decisions cause I I keep on drinking what you're giving cause I [x2] [Chorus] (I trust you, man!) |

| 3 | Hold On Forever |
Lyrics
Hold On ForeverAnother night and here we are again All our faults laid out ahead Let it out, then let it right back in All those voices in your head And we both know everything, but we can't learn to leave So I'll tell you what you need First thing: we make you feel better Next stop: we pull it all together I'll keep you warm like a sweater Take my hand, hold on forever Just fall apart if you need to I'm here and I won't leave you now Don't look down Hold on forever Lay down all your troubles end to end They could reach up to the stars So many roads, you don't know where you've been But you still know who you are And if I seem preoccupied, I'm wondering what to do So here's my recipe for you First thing: we make you feel better Next stop: we pull it all together I'll keep you warm like a sweater Take my hand, hold on forever Just fall apart if you need to I'm here and I won't leave you now Don't look down Hold on forever And we both know everything, but we can't learn to leave So I'll tell you what you need First thing: we make you feel better Next stop: we pull it all together I'll keep you warm like a sweater Take my hand, hold on forever Just fall apart if you need to I'm here and I won't leave you now Don't look down Hold on forever Just take my hand; hold on forever Hold on forever Just take my hand; hold on forever |

| 4 | Wind It Up |
Lyrics
Wind It UpWind it up and let it go When it gets to the other side, oh no Now wait a minute can't you see I'm lost I try to get it but I may be too far gone I think about it baby then I'm wrong I try to beat it but I'm no good on my own You say you don't see what you know about me I got a penchant for the revelry Now I been the best that I can be But there ain't no good plans for me [Chorus:] Just wind it up and let it go And when it gets to the other side, oh no We will not care where it lands When I'm wide awake, let it slide Everyone says I'm crazy but my, my I'll get my sleep when I'm dead Right now I'm falling over but I'm keeping right Feeling better than I did this time last night I stumble out into the city lights I got a voice in my head that I just can't bite People seem uptight, there's no hope in sight But if I loosen my head a little then I'll be all right But when the morning comes I do it all again because I [Chorus:] Wind it up and let it go And when it gets to the other side, oh no We will not care where it lands When I'm wide awake, let it slide Everyone says I'm crazy but my, my I'll get my sleep when I'm dead Pull together all the moments I found Man there's sure a lot of people in this town They all do their best to bring me down But I can't be stopped now And the moment's just floating away And I stutter Maybe I'm too old to try and live this way I should know better I slow down and I'm falling behind Break off a piece of this life and I call it mine But you can't get back this time [Chorus:] So let's wind it up and let it go And when it gets to the other side, oh no We will not care where it lands When I'm wide awake, let it slide Everyone says I'm crazy but my, my I'll get my sleep when I'm dead |

| 6 | The Great Unknown |
Lyrics
The Great UnknownPeople are talking, what you can't un-know And what you wanted wasn't real at all So many people never cross that road Staring out the window of a combat zone [Chorus:] So just hold on Driving through the valley of the great unknown Hoping that the headlights shine on Everyone around you has a heart of stone But you just roll on Just roll on People are talking but you can't be sure So many whispers at your own front door And when you open up you lose that hope Now you start to wonder if you're all alone [Chorus:] So just hold on Driving through the valley of the great unknown Hoping that the headlights shine on Everyone around you has a heart of stone But you just roll on Remember walking when you thought you couldn't stand Remember what it feels like I know you think that they could never understand Oh, but you don't want to be right And now you only want to make it out alive [Chorus:] So just hold on Driving through the valley of the great unknown Hoping that the headlights shine on Everyone around you has a heart of stone But you just roll on Just roll on |

| 7 | Absence of Affection |
Lyrics
Absence of AffectionYou got your hands down under the table You got your head right up in the clouds You take your best shot when you're able But your world don't spin right now It's high time you found a lover It's high time you made a friend The world won't keep you together, babe And your heart won't see no end I say [Chorus:] And if everybody wants you Tell me why are you so alone In the absence of affection We'll take anything and call it love In the absence of affection We'll take anything and call it love You got your flash friends waiting to meet you They're stuck like butterflies up on the wall And in the night life no one can beat you Ooh, you look so pretty it's a pity just to touch you But you never know when it's gonna fall You never know when it's gonna fall So you fake it until you make it And beat your head against that wall [Chorus:] And if everybody wants you Tell me why are you so alone In the absence of affection We'll take anything and call it love In the absence of affection We'll take anything and call it love And if everybody wants you Tell me why are you so alone In the absence of affection We'll take anything and call it love And if everybody wants you Tell me why are you so alone In the absence of affection We'll take anything and call it love We'll take anything and call it love |

| 8 | Things You Said |
Lyrics
Things You SaidWhen we were in love you were the damnedest thing All uneven, I gave you everything There's no reason, making me fall in line But I fall in line, darling every time You were floating, I was your satellite I was drowning, you came and saved my life Now you broke my heart, and it wasn't right What you did to me, how do you sleep at night [Chorus:] All the things that you said They all went to my head And I don't know now I don't know how to forget What it is that I needed to get And I don't know now I don't know how to forget I don't know how to forget A hard luck story, you see it every day Hearts get shattered, people are thrown away Now we're crawling back and you know it's bad When you can't stay home and you can't go back I remember like it was yesterday Hear you talking, seeing you walk away Now I don't wanna give it up, give it up But I don't know how to make it go away I can't see the end [Chorus:] All the things that you said They all went to my head And I don't know now I don't know how to forget What it is that I needed to get And I don't know now I don't know how to forget You wanna be loved by someone Then love someone In the face of all the world [Chorus:] All the things that you said They all went to my head And I don't know now I don't know how to forget What it is that I needed to get And I don't know now I don't know now All the things that you said They all went to my head And I don't know now I don't know how to forget What it is that I needed to get And I don't know now I don't know how to forget And I don't know how to forget (You wanna be loved by someone) And I don't know how to forget (Then love someone) And I don't know how to forget (Love someone) |

| 9 | Paper Dolls |
Lyrics
Paper DollsBetter watch yourself Cause it's gonna be a long night ahead This is hallowed ground And there's fear in every word that you said Don't make any moves while you're angry, I beg [Chorus:] Cause I don't know how we got this far Don't know when we became who we are The war goes on behind these walls You and me are just worn paper dolls Better not look down Cause it's gonna be a long way to fall This is our last chance And it's everything or nothing at all Don't make me a fool, darling don't make me crawl [Chorus:] Cause I don't know how we got this far Don't know when we became who we are The war goes on behind these walls You and me are just worn paper dolls Worn from what's been said And on and now the rest Falls on where we go now [Chorus:] Cause I don't know how we got this far Don't know when we became who we are The war goes on behind these walls You and me are just worn paper dolls You and me are just worn paper dolls |

| 10 | Nlytm |
Lyrics
NlytmMan I heard it go boom, boom, boom From the back of my room But my feet don't move Cause I'm stuck like glue Like sometimes when I feel light When I like the way we're looking In the phantom street light Oh my god, it's another one down Street lace town, make it right now, bring it round Thieves like us, we can make a change somehow We can make it better but we don't know just how It's not like, it's not like you told me I'm sitting here sad and lonely It's not like, it's not like you told me I'm giving up, I'm giving in Not like, it's not like you told me Who's gonna be there to hold me When someone brings me down Man I heard like boom, boom, boom Just a little too soon And my head gets fooled Cause I can't think straight Like sometimes when it's real life When you like the way it's looking But you just don't feel right Just hold up, here it comes now It's letdown, let it out, let it start moving around You can barely stand up now Then you start to wonder where you'll land if you fall down It's not like, it's not like you told me I'm sitting here sad and lonely It's not like, it's not like you told me I'm giving up, I'm giving in Not like, it's not like you told me Who's gonna be there to hold me When someone brings me down And maybe all we get is over And maybe all we need is more time It's not like, it's not like you told me I'm sitting here sad and lonely It's not like, it's not like you told me I'm giving up, I'm giving in Not like, it's not like you told me Who's gonna be there to hold me When someone brings me down (We go up on the middle and back to the front) It's not like, it's not like you told me (Up on the middle and back to the front) I'm giving up, I'm giving in (Up on the middle and back to the front) Who's gonna be there to hold me When someone brings me down |

| 11 | Heaven Help Me |
Lyrics
Heaven Help MeIn the evening when the stars shine down All the bridge and tunnel girls come out We can dance until the walls fall down Cause tonight we own this town But in the morning when the sun's on fire I'm burning through you like a razor wire When we see ourselves in passing windows We feel like hell, everyone knows You can't go back, heaven help me We've gone too far, when we can't be The ones we want This is who we are, who we are A shot of neon in a window pane A shot of whiskey and we end again You're moving further but you just can't win And that's the way it's always been You don't wanna let your life go by So you give until the well runs dry But when you lose your faith it never comes back And time don't wait, now you know that You can't go back, heaven help me We've gone too far, when we can't be The ones we want This is who we are, who we are I'm sorry but you can't go back, heaven help me We know too much, please believe me Believe yourself This is who you are, who you are You try to get your head around it but it's never enough You give yourself a little something but it's not what you need And all that worry, all for nothing Where you've been and where you're going And even if you changed it somehow Every step would lead to right now You can't go back, heaven help me We've gone too far, when we can't be The ones we want This is who we are, who we are I could tell you that you can't go back, heaven help me We know too much, please believe me Believe yourself This is who you are, who you are Oh, you can't go back, heaven help me We've gone too far We can't go back This is who are, who we are Oh, you can't go back, heaven help me We've gone too far We can't go back |

| 12 | Lie To Me |
Lyrics
Lie To MeI'm walking back from you In a state cause all your words Are soft and can be torn Sooner or later Those candy-coated girls Who fall down at your feet They don't mean much to me Cause you feel like the real thing Just tell me anything Girl you can lie to me I want to hear you sing Or scream and cry to me I'll give you everything Go on and try for me Just tell me anything Girl you can lie to me When we were only young We tried so hard not to fall There was no way we could know Falling was easy And now we understand The way the world goes Sometimes you take what you get Sometimes you get what you know Just put your guard down I know that nothing can stay But you feel like the best thing Just tell me anything Girl you can lie to me I want to hear you sing Or scream and cry to me I'll give you everything Go on and try for me Just tell me anything Girl you can lie to me So drag me down I can't say no I'm far too gone So don't let go I'm hanging on You feel my weight You feel my weight Just tell me anything Girl you can lie to me I want to hear you sing Or scream and cry to me I'll give you everything Go on and try for me Just tell me anything Girl you can lie to me Just tell me anything Girl you can lie to me Just tell me anything Girl you can lie to me |

| 13 | Pieces |
Lyrics
PiecesRun away, run away if you can't speak Turn a page on a world that you don't need Wide awake and you're scared that you won't come down now Didn't I tell you you were gonna break down Didn't I warn you, didn't I warn you Better take it easy, try to find a way out Better start believing in yourself We build it up, we tear it down We leave our pieces on the ground We see no end, we don't know how We are lost and we're falling Hold onto me You're all I have, all I have Hold onto me You're all I have, all I have Now and then there's a light in the darkness Feel around till you find where your heart went There's a weight in the air but you can't see why, why Didn't I tell you you were gonna break down Didn't I want you, everybody wants you Tell me what you're needing, give into your bleeding Never any feeling for yourself We build it up, we tear it down We leave our pieces on the ground We see no end, we don't know how We are lost and we're falling Hold onto me You're all I have, all I have Hold onto me You're all I have, all I have Didn't I tell you you were gonna break down Didn't I warn you, didn't I warn you Better take it easy, try to find a way out Better start believing in yourself We build it up, we tear it down We leave our pieces on the ground We see no end, we don't know how We are lost and we're falling Hold onto me You're all I have, all I have Hold onto me You're all I have, all I have Can you hold onto me Can you hold onto me Run away, run away if you can't speak |
