Paradise Fears

I'm taking advice on love and how to make it And I'm trying not to break it Before it even starts My favorite distraction She's making failure fashion The cameras roll, we lose control of where tonight will end We trade our confidences And lower our def...

I've been trippin on a tightrope everyday, Falling left and right in every way, To get back on and on and on and on again, A battle you don't know. In the middle of a cross roads as I speak, An uphill climb on a one way street, I wasn't instrume saying...

You see yourself inside a normal life, Cigarettes just trying to get by, What's all this talk about you dying young? Gas station parking lots and plastic guns, You tell me youth's fucked up, the kids are too, People only grow up when they've got nothing...

This is an anthem for the homesick, For the beaten, the lost, the broke, the defeated, A song for the heartsick, For the standbys, living life in the shadow of a goodbye, Do you remember when we learned how to fly, We’d play make believe, We were young...

This is the story of a dreamer, a soldier, With the weight of the world upon his shoulders, Whose got a little room to grow, Better days are near, Hope is so much stronger than fear, Don’t stop, march on. Baby, remember when we learned how to fly, Pla...

She said you’re going insane, Just promise you’ll drop my name, When you drop off the face of the planet You took me for granted, Now I’m finding my way home alone, Leaving you swallowing silence for two, Just blame it Fall on me, Fall on me, Fall o...

All I want is to remember the way that we used to be, The whole universe was just you and me, Every single time we threw our hearts in the air, We brought it back down so beautifully, All I wanna do is take it all back, But I can’t rewind, Get my head on...

We had so much time, Too much love to ever think of running out Summer air was intoxicating Filled my lungs but I can't stop breathing I had to take you home that night Divide the space between our minds And find a cure for a heart that's failing I'm lo...

Strutting, twisting, twirling Running through your perfect little world I feel the spaces inbetween Feel you inbetween Feel you inbetween Sinking, Twisting, Swirling Sliding through your atmosphere of words I feel you taking over me Taking over me Ta...

I’m just about ready, ready to explode Because this breath I’ve been saving is so suffocating And I know that you are the answer that’s fading All these doubts that I’m up against And all these months have got me convinced This is love, this is love, th...

This is all that I need Eyes closed, you're all that I see I find it hard to believe I've got the whole world lying next to me Then you pull me in close And you take me away You found a fool and it shows That this is more than a place Because wherever...

Can you feel this? The walls are closing, Slipping further from the hand we’re holding, Feel the footsteps incing closer — still so far away. It’s 2 am, but I can’t sleep, I’m running circles in my head around a restless dream, I know I’m not the person t...

You always were my only tragedy You were my muse, my everything I never was too good at make believing, never one to accept to defeat and what you want is what you got and what I need is what you're not all alone, I sang my songs you messed with my he...

Loving him was like driving a new Maserati down a dead end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly Loving him was like trying to change your mind once your already flying through the free fall Like the colors in Autumn so bright,...

You take the time to make yourself more appealing I could have sworn I checked up both your sleeves Patiently waiting for a boy worth believing Patiently waiting for a chance to believe (So don't believe me) When I say this will pass ('Cause yes I'm guilty) O...

There’s something to be said about a Kid In Demand With a chip on his shoulder and a pen in his hand Writing words to make you shake To make you think, or bend, or break Down every single word he sold you Don’t you dare forget who told you that Might let you...

I walked around this broken town Full of streets that I don't know Told my feet to take the lead And ended up right where you were And you said "darling what's the matter? What's the matter with this crazy world that we're living in?" You said you can't...

These tired eyes have been crying all along; They think that love is a bitter song And they think that we don’t belong In this world of what we created, Of all we hold so safe and true I was the one who abandoned you And you think that’s all I can do Yo...

Late night, phone calls Bags packed, so long Night drives, long flight Nothing good about goodbye, bye By the time I'm leaving I'll be wishing I could stay I'll be thinking 'bout you every day a different state Mile after mile you know I'm always on the...

I've got a love that can never last In and out and I'm fading fast Here's how it happens with boys like me: I make it seem like I'm so in love With you, but it never does Mean anything to me Oh, oh, I'll fake a smile to make this so dangerous You can watch me...

Oh, we stumble home After closing time you told me That your soul was from the 90’s Thats when I knew So I follow on In the dark I only hear you Do what I can to be near you Next to you Oh, collective souls When you come to me I whisper When you ca...

I feel this rushing closer, The stillness takes us over, Anticipation sets in, Like the distant strings of your favorite song, And the first note is the best note And you were like the ocean, Perfect is your motion, The world is closing in You were l...

So I guess theres not much left to say and even less hope that you'll listen But I still wake up each day just feeling like theres something missing Like I left a piece of my head at a hotel in Ohio But your pillows still on my bed, I think if you knew...

Eyes fixed to the sky We're just a moment in time We're not here to be everlasting, no one's asking What happens after tonight Are we here, are we still holding on? Are we chasing what's already gone? I don't know where we belong Or what we're running...

It's so damn good to see you, How've you been? What kind of car do you drive? How do you feel about the government shutting down I guess it's fine. I guess i'm fine. And we all look so damn happy, Even though we're all so lonely, And we're standing...

When I was in the third grade I thought that I was gay ‘Cause I could draw, my uncle was, and I kept my room straight I told my mom tears rushing down my face She’s like “Sammy you've loved girls since before pre-k tripping,” Yeah, I guess she had a point,...

So go ahead and lie to yourself And pretend that youre a ray of light When youre a broken candle. You keep in time with yourself. When did it all start moving way too fast for you to handle? Short on breath, heavy on time You lost the words but you foun...

The outer limits, she can dance with the sky, Stars streak like bolts of lightning, Write our names on the night, Brown-eyed possibility, You're more than I could ever need. Twisting to the rhythm of the wind and the trees, You and I could dance forever...

Well since I met you all these questions keep me guessing here Like what was life before and what happens when you disappear? Cause every word that you say is pulling me closer And now you're finding your way away from my bed to my bones to my head and now...

Seven months on her own a new life on the way Her mom gone too early Advice come too late The churches were full so I guess he ain’t savin’ nobody And he cried every night Just like babies’ll do To say “hey mom please wake up, I’m counting on you” “...

One glance at her, Romance stricken and unsure If it could be, My life, my dreams Insecurity sweeps me Off of my feet, Laugh with me, Cry with me, Die with me, Spellbinding, Look at her, could you believe I'm staring at the girl of my dreams The...

There are things in yourself that you don't understand, Like why the weight's on your shoulders or phone's in your hand, But you tell me, I don't really wanna talk about it I don't really wanna talk about it I don't really wanna talk about it Right now...

She came to me alone, When everything was frozen Through the falling snow I couldn't see what she was holding. She told me she was staying, She hadn't even packed at all She said she put her roots in the ground in this little town For what its worth, S...

Well I sold myself short, Again and again. Just to be what you needed, A means to an end. I swore you were worth it, I swore I wouldn't feel a thing. I'm in between hate, love And finding myself. So hopelessly tethered to your picture on the shelf...

Say you love me when you’re out the door Words are fake, your actions say so much more Tonight I’m trying, to decipher these lies you’re denying but You break my heart when you take my hand Well listen, “baby can you please try to understand” You’re not c...

I've spent twelve months Fighting this illusion of me Stuck in the shadows Of the person I'm supposed to be And lines got blurred Somewhere in between My fathers son And their twisted fantasy And I felt empty What's left of me? There's a soul The...

No taking back the things you said when we were giving this up When you wanted me gone Call me stupid, call me reckless, call me up whenever you need someone to lean on But then you told me those pretty little lies You say I've got nothing to worry about...

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, We’re alive, we’re alive, What are you waiting for? I think I’m going broke, From paying my dues, I’ve been tossed and turned, Left black and blue. I’ve been faced with decisions Where I have to choose, It's either one yo...

Oh oh ay oh [x4] Take a ride with me down to Cherry Street Past the field we swore we’d never surrender When the morning comes it’s time for moving on The life we lived becomes the life we remember That night on the Ferris Wheel was the very first time...

If alcohol had been prescribed to aid this fluttering inside my chest, I could just relax and better yet, I'd be cured from the ache that ensues every time that I wake And I find that I'm still missing you And those little lies you told, The complex...

You may cross the world all by yourself, you tell me that everything you want is somewhere else, but when you make it back around, and your shoes are all worn down, I'll be waiting for you when you come home, Singing ooh, If you need some safer ground,...

When we were younger we saw Godspace in our fathers Now that all our heroes died we're all alone Where to begin, the lights are fading Songs are played out, legs are shaking Tired hands they reach for something more than they can see But waking up is har...

Oh we started out on our own. We learned to love who we were with, we tried to love who we were with, Yeah we set out trying to find a spark. Two broken homes and a little dark, Searching through the dark, But we still loved who we were with, We still l...

She tells me love is like a train And she keeps falling off again I guess she’s sick of being left behind She says this story’s all the same so full of circumstance and shame I guess she’s sick of watching life pass by I said What keeps you going? What...

5 AM sleep won’t come You’re drowning in your thoughts Of broken hearts and shattered dreams See, your faith ain’t what it seems You’re in a daze Your mind’s a blaze With your insecurities You’re sick of where you are and where you’ve been So you pick up a...

Something like a crisis a quarter life gone by And I'm still obsessed with purpose just getting wasted wasting time Something like a message in this October sky You held my hand through all the darkness, picked me up when times were hardest But I may be s...

Dear Tomorrow, You've been shining so brightly I'll be holding on tightly To the words that you said Because you took that one moment So much more than alone then We were out on our own then Until you took me in Then you sat down next to me with you...
