This Is Who We Are Lyrics
[Verse 1: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert]
Between the future and the past tense
Lies the present and the distance
So you think we're never coming back?
Scoring points for passion and persistence
Between the lines on the highway
Lies the danger and the safety
You never thought this was gonna last
I always knew you'd never take it back
I always knew (I always knew)
[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert, Matt Ridenour]
I know it seems like we're never coming back
I know it feels like we're never coming back (Not coming back)
You tried your best and you knew it wouldn't last
They were the words that she placed on her casket (Not coming back)
I know it seems like we're never coming back
I know it feels like we're never coming back (Not coming back)
You tried your best and you knew it wouldn't last
They were the words that she placed on her casket
[Verse 2: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert]
Between the sadness and the smile
Lies the flicker of the fire
You always said this never hurt you
I always said you were a liar
With all the towers and the wires
There still lies a little silence
Two hearts and one connection
One voice lacks emotion now
I always knew (I always knew)
[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert, Matt Ridenour]
I know it seems like we're never coming back
I know it feels like we're never coming back (Not coming back)
You tried your best and you knew it wouldn't last
They were the words that she placed on her casket (Not coming back)
I know it seems like we're never coming back
I know it feels like we're never coming back (Not coming back)
You tried your best and you knew it wouldn't last
They were the words that she placed on her casket
[Bridge: JT Woodruff]
Instead of flowers, like words that never mattered
Close it off, forget about the sadness
(Close it off, forget about the sadness)
He always said she should have tried crying
Blaming him as she was lying down
[Breakdown: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert]
Not coming back
Not coming back
Not coming back
Not coming back
[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Casey Calvert, Matt Ridenour]
I know it seems like we're never coming back
I know it feels like we're never coming back (Not coming back)
You tried your best and you knew it wouldn't last
They were the words that she placed on her casket (Not coming back)
I know it seems like we're never coming back
I know it feels like we're never coming back (Not coming back)
You tried your best and you knew it wouldn't last
They were the words that she placed on her casket
We Are So Last Year Lyrics
[Intro: JT Woodruff, with Casey Calvert]
We're falling faster, this is the last year
Just a few more hours until we are all alone
This never happens, changing with fashion
Just a few more hours until we are unknown
[Verse 1: JT Woodruff]
I wish I could have known you better
I should blame it on the weather
This was over from the start
Does it even matter?
Our situation’s getting worse
[Pre-Chorus: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
Sleep in (sleep in), sleep well (sleep well)
With this life (this life) we are set to fail
[Chorus: JT Woodruff]
I just wanted you to know
I think about you every night when I fall asleep
You are in my dreams
Just like in a movie
The one you want to see with a happy ending
[Verse 2: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
This dead letter, written on black paper
It never found her eyes
Instead of love (instead of love), she only saw dollar signs
[Pre-Chorus: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
Sleep in (sleep in), sleep well (sleep well)
With this life (this life) we are set to fail
[Chorus: JT Woodruff]
I just wanted you to know
I think about you every night when I fall asleep
You are in my dreams
Just like in a movie
The one you want to see with a happy ending
[Bridge: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
With this life (this life) we are set to fail
I just wanted you to know
I think about you every night when I fall asleep
[Chorus: JT Woodruff]
I just wanted you to know
I think about you every night when I fall asleep
You are in my dreams
Just like in a movie
The one you want to see with a happy ending
Language Lessons (Five Words or Less) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hope this song can tell you how I feel tonight
You are my first dissection, spilling my insides
Let's write our names with the blood that's in our cheeks
So it won't wash away if I don't come home for weeks
And I don't come home
[Chorus]
I never said this would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly, and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less
[Verse 2]
I knew I should have never offered you the world
The nights are full of faces, you're the only girl
Turn my world from disaster
Make my heart start beating faster
Ask the question, here's the answer
Need you now and I can't stand this
[Chorus]
I never said this would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly, and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less
[Bridge]
Just tell me how you feel
I need your voice tonight
Just tell me how you feel
Woah, woah
So whisper softly, and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less
[Chorus]
I never said this would be easy
I let her go when she said she was leaving
So whisper softly, and don't forget
To tell me how you feel in five words or less
Saying Sorry Lyrics
[Verse 1: JT Woodruff]
These colors will not change
You change the way I see them
These words will fade
When you explain why you hate them
We are the same
[Pre-Chorus: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
She keeps repeating (She keeps repeating)
All that she needed
She says she's right here (She says she's right here)
She seems so distant
[Chorus: JT Woodruff]
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry
[Verse 2: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour, Casey Calvert]
Just a few last hours, we gotta make this count (We gotta make this count)
We're counting backwards
Just a few last hours, we gotta make this count
We're falling forwards
[Pre-Chorus: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
She keeps repeating (She keeps repeating)
All that she needed
She says she's right here (She says she's right here)
She seems so distant
[Chorus: JT Woodruff]
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry
[Bridge: JT Woodruff]
Saying sorry we're falling apart
Wish we knew this from the start
Saying goodbye's the hardest part
Wish we knew this from the start
[Chorus: JT Woodruff]
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time, the same old story
Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry
Saying goodbye this time (this time)
Seeing you cry, makes me feel like saying sorry
Light Sleeper Lyrics
[Intro]
Sleep, sleep, little darling
I swear I'm not trying to wear you out
I'm not trying to drag you down
[Verse 1]
When you fall asleep tonight
They'll be waiting for you
When you try to close your eyes
They'll try not to hate you
Sleep, sleep the night away
Act like nothing's wrong
You know we're going down
[Chorus]
You are such a light sleeper
Count to ten and you're already out
We fall, we're in deeper
The night's gone as we open up our eyes
[Verse 2]
Nine, ten, we'll never sleep again
We tried, we know we'll never win
At least, we know we'll make it out alive
At least, we know we'll make it out this time
[Chorus]
You are such a light sleeper
Count to ten and you're already out
We fall, we're in deeper
The night's gone as we open up our eyes
[Post-Chorus]
We fall, we fall, we know that we can make it now
We fall, we fall, we know that we can break this down
We can break this down
[Bridge]
We hear what you're saying (saying)
Not enough so we keep playing
This game is what you make it (make it)
One chance, so why not take it?
Ah!
[Chorus]
You are such a light sleeper
Count to ten and you're already out
We fall, we're in deeper
The night's gone as we open up our eyes
Such a light sleeper
[Outro]
Sleep, sleep, little darling
I swear I'm not trying to wear you out
I'm not trying to drag you down
Cross Me Off Your List Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So let us concentrate on all those things you love to hate
It makes this all worth the wait
But causes us to separate
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know how I should feel
These lights make it all seem real
[Chorus]
Can you see this, or wear it on your wrist?
It's everything you wanted
The mark you always missed
Can you feel this?
Cross me off your list
She's everything you wanted
The mark you always missed
[Verse 2]
With dry eyes and steady hands
I tried so hard to understand why you left us all alone
Three broken hearts with a broken home
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know how I should feel
These lights make it all seem real
[Chorus]
Can you see this, or wear it on your wrist?
It's everything you wanted
The mark you always missed
Can you feel this?
Cross me off your list
She's everything you wanted
The mark you always missed
[Bridge]
Cross me off
Cross me off your list
Can you see this, or wear it on your wrist?
It's everything you wanted
The mark you always missed
[Chorus]
Can you see this, or wear it on your wrist?
It's everything you wanted
The mark you always missed
Can you feel this?
Cross me off your list
She's everything you wanted
The mark you always missed
Where Can I Stab Myself in the Ears Lyrics
[Verse 1: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour]
I guess I could have sent a letter from the road (a letter from the road)
With words that always meant more than updates on the phone (updates on the phone)
The signal's fading fast and the ink is running out
The words look good in pen, but sound better from my mouth
[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour, with Casey Calvert]
Please, hold me tightly
I don't care if I can breathe tonight
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Leave this all behind! (Leave it all behind)
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind
[Verse 2: JT Woodruff, with The Hawthorne Gang]
Behind your back talking like knives and I can hardly breathe
Sharpen your tongue the rest of your life
Like I cannot believe anything that you say…
[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour, with Casey Calvert]
Please, hold me tightly
I don't care if I can breathe tonight
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Leave this all behind! (Leave it all behind)
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind
[Bridge: JT Woodruff]
So you're the fire and I’m the water
I am the balance and you are the color
I won't forget you when we're not together
This is the ending, here's my surrender
[Breakdown: Casey Calvert]
So you're the fire and I’m the water!
I am the balance and you are the color!
I won't forget you when we're not together!
This is the ending, here's my surrender!
[Chorus: JT Woodruff, Matt Ridenour, with Casey Calvert]
Please, hold me tightly
I don't care if I can breathe tonight
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave this all behind (leave this all behind)
Leave this all behind! (Leave it all behind)
Forget these lungs, their jealousy
I'm burning out, but I can't leave...
Decembers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Let's try to remember these days back in December
Our lives were very different
I was lonely when we first met
A small upstairs apartment
Driving through the darkness
To get back home before they knew you were even gone
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to speak because I can hear your heartbeat
Fluttering like butterflies searching for a drink
You don't have to cover up how you feel when you're in love
I’ll always know I'm not enough to even make you think
[Chorus]
Please, slow down, girl
We're moving way too fast for their world
We've gotta make this last
[Verse 2]
I miss you so much, a self-inflicted coma
The days drag on like marathons
I'm running with bare feet
And when I feel the stress, I'm lonely and depressed
I picture you in the dress you wore four weeks ago
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to speak because I can hear your heartbeat
Fluttering like butterflies searching for a drink
You don't have to cover up how you feel when you're in love
I’ll always know I'm not enough to even make you think
[Chorus]
Please, slow down, girl
We're moving way too fast for their world
We've gotta make this last
I know it hurts to feel so all alone
I'm by myself, more than you could know
If only they were all alone
They were all alone
[Outro Chorus]
Please, slow down, girl
We're moving way too fast for their world
We've gotta make this last
Slow down, girl
We're moving way too fast for their world
We've gotta make this last
I know it hurts to feel so all alone
I'm by myself, more than you could know
If only they were all alone
They were all alone
They were all alone
They were all alone
