Insincere 02:30
always want you here it's been a crazy year count the stars above, the number of our love and i found a trace, a familiar face you know hearts break almost everyday watching flowers die thought of you and i and the years we spent living in regret was it insincere, when you shed a tear? looking through the mirror, saw it crystal clear i'm longing for you in each and every season is that a good enough reason? some place, somewhere i know you're there slipped through the cracks of living we'll save the best for last, i guess and now i know you stole the show

Utopia 04:09
i saw you run out the back door i tried to catch you, but i can't leave my bed i picked your shirt off the floor it only made me miss you, more and more you and me swimming free in a deep green emerald sea far away, out of time in utopia am i starting to doubt you? if you're leaving, will you tell me the truth? if you cared, like i cared about you is anyone out there? i saw the stars in your eyes thought i was dreaming but i'm still wide awake it's almost like a mirage saw you for all of your flaws me and you floating through every color of the moon swept away, back in time in utopia am i starting to doubt you? if you're leaving, will you tell me the truth? if you cared, like i cared about you is anyone out there? is there anyone out there? is there anyone in here?

i like the way you smile in the sun let's lay in tall grass, summer won't last i can't slow down time, the years go by faster not slower i don't wanna sleep, stay up with me take pictures at sunrise, hot pink in your eyes when you say to me, i love you, my heart beats faster not slower, faster not slower only called you mine, for a short time you left when the summer over gone to be in a sunset somewhere else staring out your rearview mirror you never say goodbye to anyone not anything

Losing Time 04:09
moving on from you i know that you, will too give away your nights and days and all that you tried to say tried to say, tried to say i'm losing time, to know you the way that i would like to know you send my regards to all of the stars and when you stare at the sky, do you still feel alive? i had it all, in one place frozen time fades away fades away, fades away i'm losing time to know you the way that i would like to know you a flash of light in the dead of night

Glue 03:03
maybe there's something wrong maybe it's almost gone i've been living in a city that i don't belong just like a palindrome like lonely tylenol blink your eyes, you won't miss me when i finally go one night i got your blues they stuck to me like glue i've been thinking that there's nothing more that i can do it doesn't matter know you got me figured out but i've been thinking of crazy things about you i'm still thinking up crazy things about you maybe it's almost gone maybe you'll hate this song i've been thinking that i won't be sticking round for long up on the silver screen still chuggin listerine a last messiah i don't think that i'd wanna belive i'll make it up to you i'll form a supergroup i've been flinching at the taste of your forbidden fruit just don't remind me know our love it's all bleed out but i'm still thinking of crazy things about you i'm still thinking of crazy things about you

About Me 02:50
winter's come and taken your place i'm so lost without your face and the summers come and gone before i knew what was wrong and i couldn't rememeber who or how to be cause she didn't really care about me dyed my hair again this week sold my car to make some money and the autumn's come and wrong like you never really stayed long and i couldn't remember who or how to be this portrait of myself is blurry it ended so fast in a hurry cause she didn't really care about me

Backyard 04:23
laid my eyes on the prize settled the score in another life sympathy, empathy you'll go down in history honest to god, never lie, he was a friend of mine wrapped my mind around your neck secrets best left never kept tried to say nevermind i'll save that for another time honest to god, never lie, i left it all inside didn't miss out like i did lying in the backyard smelled like cigarettes i couldn't live without it we could have saved the world so instead shook my head never let anyone ever in going home and getting stoned i spend all my nights alone honest to god, never lie, i never say goodbye didn't miss out like i did lying in the backyard smelled liked cigarettes i couldn't live without it we could have saved the world didn't miss out like i did crying in the backyard smelled like cigarettes i couldn't live without it we could have saved the world the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world, the world

i saw you wave goodbye i lost it and cried through the night that's all that i can do without you remember what we had? it wasn't always bad and i can't stay mad that's all that i can do, that's all that i can do that's all that i can do, that's all that i can do for you the fireplace and candles burning bright with or without you still fogging up the windows it's hard to see through bated breath the soapbox the cat walk the dive bars every weekend the fright train the slow lane the life you never had that's all that i can do that's all that i can do that's all that i can do that's all that i can do
9.
i wanna leave you and my hometown too pack it up in a car and go somewhere far where mountains go past the clouds in the sky feels good, i shouldn't lie but then you called me up and said you were loving me, i was loving you times were good and bad, but we got through now you're having the best time without me holding your hand, walking by the sea always knew that i was lucky but you say i'm not good enough took space to clear my head but i thought of you in my bed and all the things we did and your smell sticks to my fingertips picture your face wanna kiss your lips or am i living in the past?
