lost along the way
By Kyler England (ASCAP) / Adrianne Gonzalez (SESAC) / Gabriel Mann (ASCAP)
a letter from her
from that summer
we were perfect
just going nowhere
pearls of wisdom
i must of missed 'em
she didn't mean it
that thing she said about forever
i could have asked her to stay
but i let her get on that train
we had it easy
oh, but we got lost along, lost along the way
we made it complicated
lost along, we got lost along the way
caught red handed
taking it for granted
guess we had a good thing
but i thought that i knew better
i let go too soon
gotta get myself back to you
we had it easy
oh, but we got lost along, lost along the way
we made it complicated
lost along, we got lost along the way
lost along the way
on my own
forgot my home
is where you are
is where you are
we had it easy
oh, but we got lost along, lost along the way
we made it complicated
lost along, we got lost along the way
california rain
by Gabriel Mann (ASCAP)
here comes fall
orange and yellow leaves
float down from the trees
touch my window
shrunken small
i am but a fool
looking for a breeze
to take me along
it makes it hard to see
it's a blur
and the storm is almost here
come and take a hold of me my dear
you are in control, i disappear
nothing that i say will interfere with the
california rain
i knew it all
knew just what to say
i knew how to play
'til you were playing
so i crawl
you're over my head
everything is just out of reach
come and take a hold of me my dear
you are in control, i disappear
nothing that i say will interfere with the
california rain
i'm sorry
i'm blinded by fear
come and take a hold of me my dear
you are in control, i disappear
nothing that i say will interfere with the
california rain
matter of time
by Kyler England (ASCAP) / Adrianne Gonzalez (SESAC) / Gabriel Mann (ASCAP)
you always get the last word
you fly like a mockingbird
everytime i get you cornered you slip through my fingers, you do
when i'm trying to outrun you
you won't leave me alone
when i need you to be with me
i end up on my own
oh i wish that i could move you
faster, be still or rewind
but it's a matter of time
my heart is a rubberband
strung out between your hands
you gave me love but i wasn't ready then, and you took it back now that i am
when i'm trying to outrun you
you won't leave me alone
when i need you to be with me
i end up on my own
oh i wish that i could move you
faster, be still or rewind
but it's a matter of time
my love, (why can't we go back there) my fate,(are we beyond repair) a year (it's not so far away) too late (can we start over again)
if he could see (what he could be with me) me now (that i feel differently)
i've come (he'll see i've come) around
when i'm trying to outrun you
you won't leave me alone
when i need you to be with me
i end up on my own
oh i wish that i could move you
faster, be still or rewind
but it's a matter of time
break me out
by Kyler England (ASCAP) / Adrianne Gonzalez (SESAC) / Gabriel Mann (ASCAP)
my empty room
crowded too soon
look for the fire escape
picture myself
running like hell
making my get away
the walls are caving in with no warning
this ship is sinking i gotta swim for it
i'm running out of air
break me out tonight i wanna see the
sun rising anywhere but here
come with me, this could be
the only chance we get, we gotta take it
don't do it now we'll never make it
lose this crowd, break me out
we'll stare at our feet
sneak down the street
some kind of secret race
they'll carry on
won't notice we're gone
so easily replaced
the walls are caving in with no warning
this ship is sinking i gotta swim for it
i'm running out of air
break me out tonight i wanna see the
sun rising anywhere but here
come with me, this could be
the only chance we get, we gotta take it
don't do it now we'll never make it
lose this crowd, break me out
the walls are caving in with no warning
this ship is sinking i gotta swim for it
i got a feeling we're better off anyway
i don't care what they say
break me out tonight i wanna see the
sun rising anywhere but here
come with me, this could be
the only chance we get, we gotta take it
don't do it now we'll never make it
lose this crowd, break me out
shadows of tall buildings
by Gabriel Mann (ASCAP)
i'll never learn my lesson
i mumble down the street
i make a faint impression
cause i am incomplete
i tried to be there
in the open
tried to make you proud
i will walk through shadows of tall buildings until i slowly disappear
make myself up for tourists
and join the living dead
'cause there's no room for purists
this blue will turn to red
my blues will turn to red
i tried to be there
in the open
tried to make you proud
i - i look into her faces
will walk (and in her steely spaces)
through shadows (i see her in reflection)
of tall buildings (she offers me protection)
until i slow (beneath her tallest tower)
ly dis (i think i know why i am here)
appear
i (her colors on the sidewalk)
will walk (her lips will move but they won't talk)
through shadows (so i'm trying to uncover)
of tall buildings (the stillness of my lover)
until there's no (and in her skyward reaches)
thing more (i know there's nothing more)
to fear
new kind of cool
by Adrianne Gonzalez (SESAC)
i study you so well
i know your every smell
from the back of the room
i can't learn a thing, all i can do
is stare at you
cause my body's all a wreck
an adolescent mess
they call me names
cause i can't squeeze in, don't know how to act
but i will not be ashamed
if you'd stay with me forever
we'll be weird together
we'll make up our own rules
create a new kind of cool
we'd walk the halls with ease
say all the smartest things
and they'll wish they knew what makes us laugh
and what cigarettes we smoke
or even if we do
if you'd stay with me forever
we'll be weird together
we'll make up our own rules
create a new kind of cool
we'll never lose we can pick and choose
who soaks up all our fame
and we can shout and we can shut them out just to tarnish their names
and how i'll glow in my beauty
cause someone out there loves me
right now life ain't so fun
i don't have anyone
if you only knew the things that we could do just me and you
conquer the world, king and queen
at age thirteen
if you'd stay with me forever, we'll be weird together
we'll make up our own rules, create a new kind of cool
sweetspot
by Kyler England (ASCAP) and Eve Nelson (ASCAP)
it's a new day, got a clean slate
gonna get up, fill my coffee cup
hit the interstate, gonna drive all day back to you
it's been fifteen and a half days
i can't take this long distance
something's missing in every moment without you
but all my troubles fade
everything falls into place
where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
when you hold me in your arms there's nowhere else i wanna be
yeah, where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
when i feel like i can't deal
got the whole world on my shoulders
you're the one sure thing that will never bring me down
cause with you i feel safe
you're the eye of the hurricane
where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
when you hold me in your arms there's nowhere else i wanna be
yeah, where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
we could stay forever this way
while the world spins on and on and on
where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
when you hold me in your arms there's nowhere else i wanna be
yeah, where you and i meet, baby that's the sweetspot
crazy ever after
by Kyler England (ASCAP) / Adrianne Gonzalez (SESAC) / Gabriel Mann (ASCAP)
today you're gonna leave
just like you did the day before
watch by the windowsill
you disappear into the corner store
i could swear that i saw you slip out the back door
you left your set of keys, and left me alone
i'm pacing our apartment
my head's a broken record, i can't think
i keep repeating
the very last word that you said to me
you didn't tell me you loved me, just "goodbye"
& there was something kinda final in it
stay - everything is wrong without you
stay - my whole world's a wreck
oh will you save me now
or leave me crazy ever after
i'm in a weak condition
and now you cut into the heart of me
you got my mind racing
losing my grip on reality
you got me second guessing
what's true and what's a lie
why don't you look me in the eye when i say
stay - everything is wrong without you
stay - my whole world's a wreck
oh will you save me now
or leave me crazy ever after
i don't know how to be alone - i don't know how to be
alone - i don't know how to be alone
lay it on me
by Kyler England (ASCAP) / Grey Garner (BMI)
all these faces look the same
but it's not you
there's smoke but not a flame
no it's nothing like you
all i want is to see some sign
maybe something to believe
tell me i'm wrong
tell me you want me
i can take anything
you can lay it on me
lay it on me
today is like the day before
without you
the shadows lengthen on the floor
without you
i am haunted by your sympathy
will you tell me what it means?
tell me i'm wrong
tell me you want me
i can take anything
you can lay it on me
i can be strong
if you don't want me
honesty's all i need
just lay it on me
i believed that fate would save us
but time it heals the pain while it steals you away
tell me i'm wrong
tell me you want me
i can take anything
you can lay it on me
i can be strong
if you don't want me
honesty's all i need
just lay it on me
just lay it on me
i miss missing you
by Kyler England (ASCAP) / Willie Mack (ASCAP)
i used to wish away your memory every night
trying to erase the lines you've drawn
but suddenly you've faded almost out of sight
now you're going, going gone
why did i try so hard to let you go when deep down i don't know
if i am really ready to say goodbye
now what am i going to hold onto?
i miss missing you
i always found some comfort in my loneliness
if nothing else it filled the space
now that i'm over you i'm left with emptiness
and nothing to take its place
why did i try so hard to let you go when deep down i don’t know
if i am really ready to say goodbye
now what am i going to hold onto?
i miss missing
your smile on every stranger's face that i saw
now i have to concentrate to remember you at all
why did i try so hard to let you go when deep down i don’t know
if i am really ready to say goodbye
now what am i going to hold onto?
i miss missing you
my heart with you
by Kyler England (ASCAP) / Adrianne Gonzalez (SESAC) / Gabriel Mann (ASCAP)
waited a hundred years to see your face
and i would wait a hundred more
if only to be near you
to have you and to hear you
isn't that what time is for?
i sailed a thousand ships in search of you
traveled to distant lands
dove for sunken gold i
took what i could hold but you're
still the greatest treasure i've held in my hands
my love
the reason i survive
trust we'll be together soon
should our fire turn to dark
take my heart with you
a tattered photograph my pocket holds
i keep you secretly
i've studied every line you're
etched upon my mind for
not a million soldiers could take you from me
my love
the reason i survive
trust we'll be together soon
should our fire turn to dark
take my heart with you
my love
the reason i survive
take my heart with you
take my heart with you
