Appreciation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Thank you, honey, for reminding me how long you can stare at someone
And never see, really see
I want so bad just to understand
Not gonna let more time go
Without trying, without trying
[Chorus]
We build, we box, we carry on
As people we forgot
Strange, we come to find ourselves not knowing we're lost
[Verse 2]
There's something I feel that I haven't felt since
Since I was a kid
Hey, you made my heart just break, it just breaks
You know I want time, I know you want space
Gonna do what I can
Hey, whatever it might take, what it takes
[Chorus]
We build, we box, we carry on
As people we forgot
Strange, we come to find ourselves not knowing we're lost
[Chorus]
We build, we box, we carry on
As people we forgot
Strange, we come to find ourselves not knowing we're lost
[Chorus]
We build, we box, we carry on
As people we forgot
Strange, we come to find ourselves not knowing we're lost
Damage Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want someone who lives up to this grandeur in my head
And you don’t do much to sell me I’d be best with you instead
I hate the way I feel, but I don’t think I can change
I just breathe you each day
[Chorus]
Are we only damaging the little we have left?
Both of us swimming in the same polluted mess
Are we too damaged now to possibly connect?
To honestly connect?
[Verse 2]
A lot of time’s been wasted putting off doing the work
If we both step up to own it then I’ll take what’s coming first
Of everything you say, it’s the truth that really hurts
But how could that be worse?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’ll say when I’m ready
You’ll know when I’m ready
When I’m ready
(are we only damaging, damaging)
[Chorus]
Lean Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You keep it simple at the start
And never question things too hard
Shouldn’t shock you when you’re down this far
[Chorus]
I’m not asking for a fix
I just need you close to reach
When I can’t stop myself at all
When I don’t lean on you I fall
Every single time I’m wrong
Every selfish trip I’m on
If I don’t lean on you I fall
[Verse 2]
When I think I’m so messed up
And when you think you’re so messed up
Gotta keep in mind that we’re just us
[Chorus]
I’m not asking for a fix
I just need you close to reach
When I can’t stop myself at all
If I can't lean on you I fall
Every single time I’m wrong
Every selfish trip I’m on
If I don’t lean on you
If I don't lean on you I fall
[Bridge]
If I can’t lean on you I fall
[Verse 3]
I’m hoping for the perfect day
When I look into the right face
And really mean it, saying “I’m okay”
[Chorus]
I’m not asking for a fix
I just need you close to reach
When I can’t stop myself at all
If I can’t lean on you I fall
Every single time I’m wrong
Every selfish trip I’m on
If I don’t lean on you
If I don't lean on you I fall
Book of Love Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wasn't worried about the small things
Tried to bury what they might or could have meant
And as far away as you could get, as distant as you'd ever been
You'd still love me
[Verse 2]
The book of love is fiction
Written by the loneliest who sing
Thinking they’re doing their best
Learning things they should forget
Until the end
[Chorus]
So maybe we should plan then
Of who will go, and who will stay, and when
Until one of us can say it like it is
You've already made your own bed
[Verse 3]
Can you tell me what just happened?
Where's my girlfriend with her engine pinned red line?
I pick you up on a Wednesday night
And go off on a secret ride
Like we were kids
[Verse 4]
Will we be alright?
I have never doubted it before, my friend
Are they ever coming back again
Those feelings that we started with?
I'll give it time
[Chorus]
And maybe we should plan then
Of who will go, and who will stay, and when
Until one of us can call it like it is
You've already made your own bed
[Post-Chorus]
I deserve the truth
But I'm so afraid of what it'd do
Finally seeing us for how it really is
I've been alone, just never known it
[Instrumental bridge]
[Chorus]
So maybe we should plan then
Of who will go, and who will stay, and when
Until one of us can say it like it is
You've already made your own bed
[Post-Chorus]
I deserve the truth
But I'm so afraid of what it'd do
Finally seeing us for how it really is
I've been alone, just never known it
I Will Steal You Back Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The way you pull me in sometimes I almost feel
The picture in my head is just too real
It's gonna be how it is, there's some things you don't change
I'm done with telling myself that story
[Chorus]
How slowly we built the walls
In years they pile on
I will steal you back
Funny how the smallest lie
Might live a million times
I will steal you back
[Verse 2]
Here we go, here we go, we'll take on so much pain
To feel secure, or not feel anything
I only pick a fight I know I'm sure to lose
So how can I not hold my hope for you?
[Chorus]
How slowly we built the walls
In years they pile on
I will steal you back
Funny how the smallest lie
Might live a million times
I will steal you back (back, back)
[Chorus]
How slowly we built the walls
In years they pile on
I will steal you back
Funny how the smallest lie
Might live a million times
I will steal you back (back, back)
[Outro]
I will steal you back
I will steal you back
Please Say No Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It was a freezing night and not a single cloud
I had a couple in me so I reached out
And when I heard your voice
Felt you all inside
Then prayed for the distance to keep us in line
But there's things I've done you understand like no one else
There's pain I kept buried deep inside myself
I've been saying for forever "hey that's not me"
But me with you is who I think I'll always be
[Chorus]
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no
Say anything you will
Except how you'd have me still
Say anything but no
And I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
[Verse 2]
It was the peak of summer and I thought I'd drown
We couldn't get close
All the kids were around
But I could read you plain
You wanted a different life
Someday, hell, you might ruin mine
I've lately come to wonder what it might feel like
If one last time we went and did this right
Somewhere no one possibly could know our names
Somewhere no one bothers to remember a face
[Chorus]
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no, no, no, no, no
Say anything you will
Except how you'd have me still
Say anything but no
And I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
[Bridge]
With you
With you
With you
[Verse 3]
If all you're really hoping for is peace of mind
Don't come to me with questions, you'll just waste your time
Exactly what you're looking for is what you'll find
All I see around me is a losing fight
[Chorus]
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no
Please say no, no, no, no, no
Say anything you will
Except how you'd have me still
Say anything but no
And I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
Say anything but no
And I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
How'd You Have Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've saved up enough courage
And I'll spend it now
But all for what, I ask myself
No, it doesn't feel that an answer matters
Oh, I thought I needed you to give me strength
The things I'd hoped you'd say
But as you stay quiet, I just wonder
[Chorus]
Only one thing left I wished I knew
How did you have me and I only got you?
If it's all bad timing and there's no control
I'm going to do anything
Going to do everything I want from now on
[Verse 2]
Alone with you, you'd change your voice, you change your face
Scared to say what's wrong
But we kept going on, yeah, kept going on
Like two adult children engaged in separate play
You can run down all those days to me
Run through the whole year, but why?
[Chorus]
Only one thing left I wished I knew
How did you have me and I only got you?
If it's all bad timing and there's no control
I'm going to do anything
Going to do everything I want from now on
[Verse 3]
No one else would be as patient
Or at least be so forgiving
I'm not curious at all where your heart was
You can talk and I might listen
Hey! For once you showed up... present
I'm done living powered by this hurt
[Chorus]
Only one thing left I wished I knew
How did you have me and I only got you?
If it's all bad timing and there's no control
I'm going to do anything
Going to do everything I want from now on
No, Never Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll stumble when there's something hard to say
I needed time so I took it and got me some space
It isn’t fair, I understand
You... just wondering wherever I am
And the look you give is like I'm lost
But you don’t see how you could be equally turning me off
[Chorus]
I guess there’s some things you should never have, never known about
We got a good thing, but you’re better off not asking me how
Well, is it so mean just to let it pass, let it all go?
Because there’s some things, you should never have
Never known about, no never known about, no never known
[Verse 2]
I’d be lying if I told you it was just a kiss
I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t more to it
So what you think it’s gonna help
When you worry about everyone else?
The options that I think you have
Say goodbye or get over it, goodbye or get over it
[Chorus]
Because there’s some things you should never have, never known about
We have a good thing, but you’re better off not asking me how
Well, is it so mean just to let it pass, let it all go?
Because there’s some things, you should never have
Never known about, no never known about, no never known
[Bridge]
You know I don’t ever sleep
Just stare up at the ceiling
I’m laying there and hate myself
Wishing I could be somewhere else
With someone just like me
Nothing complicated
All the feelings and fantasy
Can you trust, can you trust
[Chorus]
That there’s some things you should never have, never known about
We have a good a good thing, but you’re better off never asking how
Well, is it so mean just to let it pass, let it all go?
Because there’s some things, you should never have
Never known about, no never known about, no never known
Byebyelove Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walked out at 3 a.m
The coward inside told me so
I couldn't stand to lie with you
Cause when I do then I can tell
[Chorus]
It's bye bye love
Bye bye love
It's bye bye love
Bye bye love
[Verse 2]
I wanna feel that golden light
Watch summer dancing through your hair
There's so much I wish I could hold
Instead of carrying memories
[Chorus]
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
It's bye bye love
Bye bye love
[Bridge]
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
[Chorus x2]
Bye bye love
Bye bye love
It's bye bye love
Bye bye love
You Were Good Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It could have been but never was
At least the way you thought it'd be when you grew up
And there's so much of you I love
But loving you alone isn't enough
[Chorus]
You were good
You were good
Then you were gone
I believed you all along
Yeah it's sad but baby here we are
It was good
It was good
Then it was gone
[Verse 2]
You got a charm you wear around your neck
Reminds you of him and I can see right through
Either you're just bad at cheating
Or there's something in your heart you wished I knew
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
So I'm not who you wanted but
You're still the one who sets the fire in me
Guess I'll drink what I'll drink
Until the loving touch I need is not a need
[Chorus]
[Outro]
It was good
It was good
Then it was gone
It was good
It was good
Then it was gone
