Pressing Play
04:43
|

I'm back up on my feet before I hit the ground
I live relentlessly and endlessly, or so it seems
It catches me off guard but I react in time
But then I fall to earth again that night within my dreams
Everything I didn't do
Everything I didn't say
Everything I didn't know
Came back to haunt me today
I am living in the past
I am fighting in the fray
Rewinding all of my mistakes and pressing play
So how am I to see the situation here
I'm taking two steps forward and one step back

Everything To Gain
03:47
|

When you're stuck in the moment it's hard to see out of it hardly at all
When you're stubbornly staying on the course that you've chosen you can easily fall
I will try my best to make it
I will try to win your game
What have I got to lose
When I have everything to gain
When you're here looking back on the things that have led you to the point where you are
When you think of the future and the wishes you made that would make it so far
And you can't get out of it

Make My Day Tonight
03:16
|

I never had to work at this
I never had to try
Of course I've never had success at this
I couldn't hardly buy myself
Some time and conversation
With someone who'd like to hear it
Now won't somebody help me make my situation clear
Is it you
Is it me
What more do I have to be
I thought I had a shot at first
But then I start to think
About the way that I've been acting
And I end up on the brink of looking
Desperate, attached, or something
Should I back away
I'm sorry that I couldn't think of something else to say
What do I
Have to do
In order to get through to you
I've got hopes
I've got dreams
About everything my life could be
I feel good
Feel alright
I'm hoping that you'll make my day tonight
Make my day tonight
Maybe I've been oblivious
Maybe I couldn't see
Maybe I had no chance from the start
I guess I'll wait and see

Overthinking It
03:33
|
|||
|
Bright lights blinding
Me and finding
You alone in the crowd, no one else there
I can't fight it
I can't hide it
I'm fighting for each breath of air
You're so perfect
You're so worth it
I've got to find a way to you somehow
Nervous wreck
Keep it in check
'Cause I don't want to blow my chances now
I don't know what you're thinking
I'm feeling like I'm sinking
Let's just sit down and talk about it
'Cause I'm overthinking it
I've got something to mention
I don't know your intention
Let's just sit down and talk about it
'Cause I'm overthinking it
My suspense is
Your defense
Against too quickly letting your guard down
But I'll be patient
A conversation
With you is enough, so please stick around

Falling For You
03:14
|
|||
|
It's another day
Here's another chance to check the score
It's hard to tell for sure
But all I know is I want more
I just want you to be happy
To be the sunlight in your life
It's cutting me deep
It cuts just like a knife
I don't know how to say this
I don't know what to do
But I think I'm losing control of it
I think I'm falling for you
Let it out and let it in
It's okay to take it slow
But either way I think I
Just want you to know

The Moment
03:13
|
|||
|
You did it to me
You did it well
You saw right through me and I
Still couldn't tell
I'm in the moment
I'm feeling fine
I'm so excited that I'm
Losing my mind
We both could see it
You knew I knew
Now I don't think either of us
Knows what to do, but anyhow
I think I like it

Infatuation
02:43
|
|||
|
This infatuation is intoxicating me
Your reciprocation is exhilaratingly fantastic
I don't have a sense of time for when it's getting close
What's the pace to move at - why compare, we'll overdose on envy
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
I don't know if what I'm feeling's quite the way to be
You took some convincing but now you agree with me, it's okay
No right way to do it but I can't help feeling wrong
Maybe we should wait but I don't wanna wait too long now check it out

Fadeaway
03:34
|
|||
|
I'll be the first to admit that I've got problems
You thought I was on top but I hit the bottom
We started strong but now I exercise in patience
And I've been working my way back every day since
Crawling out of the wreckage
I think I'm getting the message
I just take a shot of my insecurity
And I chase it with a glass of my jealousy
And it doesn't really taste that good to me
But I drink it anyway
Then I stumble on home and I feel your touch
And I look in your eyes and it's all too much
And I'm safe in your arms and secure and such
And those feelings fade away
Early on I had a few good scares
Then I realized I don't really care
About the way to play things wrong or right
When my mind gets dark, you can be the light
I'm drinking the poison
And I'm waiting for someone else to die
That's a dangerous place to be
Alone in the theater of my mind

I Like
04:02

|
I didn't see it coming but then neither did you
What an interesting turn of events
You'll have to tell me what led us here
If the opportunity presents
I like the way that you move
I like the way that you speak
I like the way that you totally captivate me
I like the way that you smile
I like the way that you laugh
I like the way that we've got what we have
I like the way that you like what you like about me
I was just a little nervous so I'm lagging behind
And I'm hoping that you'll take the lead
Just takes some getting used to, this feeling I have
And I hope that I've got what you need
