Livin’ in a past life No I don’t want it So you can take it back I’m sick of watching you try I don’t buy it Can’t you see that I’ve been running with the cool kids, the cool kids I should know better but I, but I don’t wanna be Another name on your list It's useless I should know better T-t-t-take it back I should know better T-t-t-take it back I should know better T-t-t-take it back Just another joy ride Well I don’t need a-a-another heart attack You say you’re such a good guy That you deliver But I don’t wanna stick around for your tricks I'm passed it I should know better but I, but I don’t want to be Another game that you quit It's foolish I should know better T-t-t-take it back I should know better T-t-t-take it back I should know better T-t-t-take it back I know better I should know better Shoulda known better than that T-t-t-take it back I know better I should know better Shoulda known better than that T-t-t-take it back All the words you said to me Keep running through my head It’s hard to breathe (I don’t want ‘em) So take ‘em back Take ‘em back Every part of me (I know you want it) It’s a fantasy (but you can’t have it) So take it back Take it back Take it back TAKE IT BACK I know better I should know better Shoulda known better than that T-t-t-take it back

Alive Now 02:39
Just a chip off the old block ‘Nother crack on the sidewalk Livin’ down at the deadlock Twenty-five Felt so alive Got a class at the hard knocks And I’ve been hittin’ all the roadblocks Wakin’ up in a sleepwalk thinkin’ Twenty-five Felt so alive AHH Alive now I’m alive now AHH Alive now Think I’m alive now Scuff city where I came up Cut my teeth at the Hard Luck Head spinnin’ down the catwalk baby Twenty-five Felt so alive Don’t you know you gotta live to survive Come on now it’s do or die Any minute I can make it I try Come on now Come on AHH Alive now I’m alive now AHH Alive now Think I’m alive now Don’t you know you gotta live to survive Come on now it’s do or die Any minute I can make it I try Come on now Come on AHH Don’t you know you gotta live to survive (Alive now, I’m alive now AHH) C’mon baby it’s do or die (I’m alive now, think I’m alive now) Twenty-five now think I’m alive now Twenty-five now think I’m alive now Twenty-five now think I’m alive now I’m alive I’m alive

Let It Go 03:10
I want you to know It's starting to show It ain't easy But I'm taking it slow So I don't know why it's gotta be Finding it hard, it's hard to breathe Sticks and stones Won't leave me alone Won't leave me… Oh We’ve got to let it go Cause I got something on my mind And we have got to let it go Cause you are that something Hold tight when you feel like runnin’ Don’t fight, we just gotta let it go Feels right when we’ve got it goin’ Don’t fight, we just gotta let it I I'm losing my mind It ain't easy To swallow my pride I think I need you baby You're all that I dream of lately So let's come clean If you know what I mean Shout it out, shout it out now Oh We’ve got to let it go Cause I got something on my mind And we have got to let it go Cause you are that something Hold tight when you feel like runnin’ Don’t fight, we just gotta let it go Feels right when we’ve got it goin’ Don’t fight, we just gotta let it Something nice Gonna say it twice Something nice nice You're a paradise Hold tight, when you feel like runnin’ Don't fight, we can find another way In time, when we’ve got it goin’ Feels right, we just gotta let it go Hold tight when you feel like runnin’ Don’t fight, we just gotta let it go Feels right when we’ve got it going Don’t fight, we just gotta let it go Feels right, we just gotta let it go Well alright, we just gotta let it

Real Love 03:48
The tip of your tongue Like candy, I crave ya The minute you're gone I surrender, pretend that you'll be Back in three days, back in three days Since you've been gone It's the end, no surrender The tip of your tongue Well you said that you're gone But you'll be back in three days Some things, they never change I want it I need it I wanted to believe it I need your real love, I want more I need that real touch, I adore Give me a reason I can't see you anymore I want more, I want more I'll just pretend it, it's the only way to end it Sick, dependent, and choking on a cigarette But I'll be okay, I'll be okay Is this how you want it, how you needed it to be Lacerated, from the tip of your tongue I'm under your gun But I'll be okay, if I ain't dead in three days I want it I need it I wanted to believe it I need your real love, I want more I need that real touch, I adore Give me a reason I can't see you anymore I want more, I want more I wanted to believe it I need your real love, I want more I need that real touch, I adore Give me a reason I can't see you anymore I want more, I want more (I want more) (I want it!) I want it, no I need it! Gotta see it, gotta see it!

Two Hearts 03:35
Two Two hearts Two hearts in denial Dead set on survival Broken telephone in a grown-up style Two Two hearts Hard to reconcile Dead set on revival Built on broken bones and a missed phone call Yeah Novocain I never came When the needle hit the vein It’s all the same Circle the drain Like a fish out of water, I’m drowning again Two Two hearts Two hearts in denial Dead set on survival Broken telephone in a grown-up style Two Two hearts Hard to reconcile Dead set on revival Built on broken bones and a missed phone call Medicate Just a taste Yeah I always take the bait It’s such a waste But I won’t hesitate Like a wish in the water, I’m howling again I can hardly wait To grow old and mutilate you I can hardly wait to I can hardly wait Two Two hearts Two hearts in denial Dead set on survival Broken telephone in a grown-up style Two Two hearts Hard to reconcile Dead set on revival Built on broken bones and a missed phone call Two Two hearts Two hearts in denial Dead set on survival Broken telephone in a grown-up style Two Two hearts Hard to reconcile Dead set on revival Built on broken bones and a missed phone call Two Two hearts

Wrong Way 03:15
So it goes Long term love addiction Now our light is fading Gone with the flow Lost track of time, hoping that our stars align Oh, think of the all the things that we could do If we got away from what we know So it goes We’re livin’ in a life that’s so outdated And now I think the whole thing’s overrated We’ve been taking the long way lately We are right in the wrong way baby Started out too young Now we’re looking down the barrel of our gun Worried minds Abandoned by our own design, empty threats and broken ties Oh, think of the all the things that we could do If we got away from what we know So it goes We’re livin’ in a life that’s so outdated And now I think the whole thing’s overrated We’ve been taking the long way lately We are right in the wrong way baby We are right in the wrong way Get along till a fight breaks Come a time where I gotta go Walk away cuz we both know We are wrong in the right way Get along till the smoke breaks Come a time when we gata go Walk away cuz we both know We’re livin in a life that’s so outdated And now I think the whole thing’s overrated We’ve been taking the long way lately We are right in the wrong way baby
