Elephant in the Room (Acoustic Version) 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Not quite two years ago when we got started Huddled together in the wind and rain on Echo Beach You kissed me As if there wasn't anyone around us But you and I were two out of five thousand lonely hearts Swaying in the dark You held my hand and moved in tight Our bodies bathed in the concert lights Our skin so cold, our hearts so warm Back then our intentions were so pure And in those moments I was sure That we could weather any storm CHORUS But now you're hiding us away We die a little more each day And you just look the other way If we don't face up to it soon The elephant that's in the room Could be the end of me and you There was a time you'd shout it from a mountain Back then you told me that you didn't care who knew the truth I trusted you Now you keep asking me to keep things quiet Making excuses, telling lies, pretending not to see That you're losing me CHORUS 'Cause now you're hiding us away We die a little more each day And you just look the other way If we don't face up to it soon The elephant that's in the room Could be the end of me and you I don't know who or what's to blame But I know things can't stay the same So don't pretend that nothing's changed If we don't face up to it soon The elephant that's in the room Could be the end of me and, you... CHORUS Why are you hiding us away? We die a little more each day And you just look the other way If we don't face up to it soon The elephant that's in the room Will be the end of me and you

What Do I Do Now? (Acoustic Version) 04:34
lyrics

We're all limited edition You and I no different But I thought that we'd withstand the tests of time Guess I should have seen it coming We were clinging and then running Drawing and then crossing every line (yeah) So many things remain unsaid We both got stuck in our own heads Over the things that mattered most We kept them in, we tempted fate So our "I love you" came too late All that's left here is a ghost 'Cause we're standing still but Still the space between Might as well be Twenty-thousand leagues CHORUS The love is gone so what do I do now? (The love is gone so what do I do now?) I know I've got to make it through somehow (The love is gone) But what do I do now? I keep typing and deleting Pausing and repeating I want to talk but don't know what to say 'Cause I miss our conversations But we've both got reservations And every time the words get in our way (yeah) I know I've probably said enough And I should give up on this love Before there's nothing left to save I'm out of sight and out of mind And I don't want to waste my life Crying tears in to our grave 'Cause we're standing still but Still the space between Might as well be Twenty-thousand leagues CHORUS The love is gone so what do I do now? (The love is gone so what do I do now?) I know I've got to make it through somehow (The love is gone) But what do I do now? (Guitar Solo) CHORUS The love is gone so what do I do now? (The love is gone so what do I do now?) I know I've got to make it through somehow (The love is gone) But what do I do now? Might as well be Twenty-thousand leagues What do I do What do I do What do I do now?

Rewind (Acoustic Version) 03:51

Take a look at the man that I've become I was chasing apparitions Next thing I know I'm Living my own lies Wearing this disguise (Whoa oh) Looks like there's nowhere left to run Feel like a broken record Singing the same songs Writing the same wrongs It goes on and on I know that I'll never get the chance To tip over the hourglass CHORUS So when I face the truth I'll shut my eyes Tell myself some more white lies I'm all fucked up My hands are tied I need a time out Could somebody press rewind? Should've known I was gonna lost my way Because blindly moving forward With eyes in the rear view Will come back to haunt you When you crash right through What's done is done, I know that fact And it's too late to take it back CHORUS So when I face the truth I shut my eyes Tell myself some more white lies I'm all fucked up My hands are tied I need a time out Could somebody press rewind? I need you to press rewind The hourglass sands Slipped right through my hands And I can't wipe them clean Somebody help me Can't you tell me How to build a time machine? I need a time out Could somebody press rewind? CHORUS So when I face the truth I shut my eyes Tell myself some more white lies I'm all fucked up My hands are tied I need a time out Could somebody press rewind?

Tripping Over Your Pieces (Acoustic Version) 03:55
lyrics

Guess we're over before we began And I don't understand How love could slip right though our hands? We were just making plans I've been singing so long But if I could fix all that's gone wrong I'd never write another song Take a breath, bite my tongue Just to hold back the flood Check my phone, but no calls No signs of life at all CHORUS So I bury you deep But I keep Tripping over your pieces Got to put this to sleep But I keep Tripping over your pieces No I can't change my heart in a day Or pretend that I'm okay You've got your future underway I've got so much left to say Close my eyes and daydream You're right here next to me But you're not, you're with him And I'm broken again CHORUS So I bury you deep But I keep Tripping over your pieces Got to put this to sleep But I keep Tripping over your pieces Oh I try and I try to pretend But the words just aren't there And I promised we'd always be friends I won't go anywhere So even though I know you've made a mistake And I want to believe That it isn't too late I should stop pulling out all these stitiches And face the pain CHORUS I bury it deep But I keep Tripping over your pieces Got to put this to sleep 'Cause I keep Tripping over your pieces (Ad libs)

I took some time to think Had a few moments to stew So many days I hated loving you It was so sad Too bad that's how our cookie crumbled (C-crumbled, oh-oh-oh-oh) I wish you nothing but happiness I'll say it again Preferably with anyone but him 'Cause he's the rat Who set this trap And then we stumbled (S-stumbled, oh-oh-oh-oh) CHORUS But you made your choice, I'll make my peace I tried so hard to make you see I've got a feeling that you've fallen For a rebound, rebound (oh-oh-oh-oh) I hope I'm wrong, I wish you well Although you put my heart through hell I've got a feeling that you've fallen For a rebound, rebound (oh-oh-oh-oh) Said it yourself That'd he'd just been betrayed So any man who'd stoop that low and take Love from another Is none other than a criminal (C-criminal, oh-oh-oh-oh) Right now I know You're blind to this, but trust You're gonna find You sold out love for lust And when he leaves you dying Crying, you'll be all alone (A-all alone) CHORUS But you made your choice, I'll make my peace I tried so hard to make you see I've got a feeling that you've fallen For a rebound, rebound (oh-oh-oh-oh) I hope I'm wrong, I wish you well Although you put my heart through hell I've got a feeling that you've fallen For a rebound, rebound (oh-oh-oh-oh) You showed that you only loved me While I numbed the lonely The day when you wrote to say That he was at your house That you wouldn't be choosing us But even though you're a coward I fail to see how you Can't see the signs His kind of love will fizzle out He's gonna let you down CHORUS (Alternate) But you made your choice, I'll make my peace I tried and tried to make you see I've got a feeling that you've fallen For a rebound, rebound (oh-oh-oh-oh) I hope I'm wrong, I wish you well But your new beau can burn in Hell I've got a feeling that you've fallen For a rebound, rebound (oh-oh-oh-oh) CHORUS But you made your choice, I'll make my peace I tried so hard to make you see I've got a feeling that you've fallen For a rebound, rebound (oh-oh-oh-oh) I hope I'm wrong, I wish you well Although you put my heart through hell I've got a feeling that you've fallen For a rebound, rebound (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Ooh Hoo Hoo How've you been? Had a thought If you've got nothing else to do How 'bout I, spend the night Wrap my body all around you? CHORUS And you can love me with your hands My beautiful distraction Our hearts will understand So lay with me tonight Ooh Hoo Hoo Ooh Hoo Hoo So here we are, once again You couldn't pry our limbs apart Yet neither one of us Is in position to give our hearts Cause you're spoken for but it's open And I'm recently heartbroken But that all fades away When we're flickering in the dark CHORUS So love me with your hands My beautiful distraction Our hearts will understand So lay with me tonight And I know we're running on borrowed time And the end will come, but for now we've got tonight So turn off the lights And get lost in me getting lost in you There is only now, there is just us two tonight And I just want you tonight (Make me believe tonight) CHORUS So love me with your hands My beautiful distraction Our hearts will understand Stay with me tonight Hold me in your hands Make me believe tonight My heart won't misunderstand Stay with me tonight

Another day another dollar Attention span could not be smaller I know That it shows So many deadlines calls and meetings Busy as hell but I keep creeping your ghost And it shows No I, can't sleep, haven't eaten These memories of you keep bleeding me slow And it shows Can't concentrate, got no focus Stuck on this rollercoaster I'd rather be home All alone CHORUS I'd turn on the TV And fix myself a drink Make it double to keep you off my mind Play a video game Surf some radio waves Keep on numbing the lows chasing the highs In every word of every song Your melody plays on and on So I'm just a brain dead, Trainwreck Got to get my life back on the tracks Boss man, sees I'm hurting Painted on smile but heartbreak's lurking below And it shows Should I leave sick, I can't stop crying Stuck in this office dying and I'd rather be home All alone CHORUS I'd turn on the TV And fix myself a drink Make it double to keep you off my mind Play a video game Surf some radio waves Keep on numbing the lows chasing the highs In every word of every song Your melody plays on and on So I'm just a brain dead, Trainwreck Baby try your best to look away While I'm nursing the ache Baking myself a cake Eating feelings that keep me up all night Do the dishes and then Read Harry Potter again One through Seven should help to pass some time Cause I'm losing steam, I must confess I think I just might be obsessed I'm just a brain dead, Trainwreck Got to get my life back on the tracks

Spent so many days adrift at sea Since love declared a mutiny The ship can barely stay afloat Heartbreak took the lifeboat and the vest Left a dead weight in my chest Got to lighten up the load CHORUS (1) Anchor my heart I'm tossing it overboard Cause I've had enough of fightin' Hold the alarm Don't want to head back to shore Toss it overboard Wrapped in the waves each endless night They crash and fall out of my eyes Now the hull is filling up Never learned to swim, so I may drown Sharks in the water all around Heaven knows they're out for blood CHORUS (2) Anchor my heart I'm tossing it overboard Cause I've had enough, so they can Tear it apart Won't be needing it anymore Toss it overboard I've lost the war, now I accept I'm meant to go down with this ship Why walk the plank? Why take a dive? I'll never make it out alive CHORUS (3) So I'm tossing it overboard Cause I've had enough and I don't Want to re-start Can't play that game anymore I'm through with love because I've Made up my mind Call it love's suicide Let it wither and die When it lands on the ocean floor Hands off my heart I'm tossing it overboard Toss it overboard

Well let me tell you When I took my foolish heart And tossed it in the deep blue sea Deep blue sea I thought I'd finally broke the surface Of my misery I was mistaken baby I've just had the strangest feeling And it stings so deep Stings so deep So I need you to take me someplace In your submarine This is not a rescue mission Orders are to search and destroy The second that you see it beat CHORUS You'd better fire the torpedo Lock and Load Fire the torpedo You'd better fire the torpedo Pick me off Finish me off I'm in a hurry baby Can't this thing move any faster? I'm in agony Agony I really don't know why Shit keeps happening to me Oh no no no I can't breathe Feelin' kinda claustrophobic Can't you see Baby you're the one that caused it so Act quick Isn't this your expertise? So finish what you've started Just eradicate your target The second that you see it beat CHORUS Fire the torpedo Lock and Load Fire the torpedo You'd better fire the torpedo Pick me off Finish me off Fire Away Fire Away Zoom Zoom Boom, Oh Zoom Zoom Boom Zoom Zoom Boom, Oh Zoom Zoom Boom Zoom Zoom Boom, Oh Zoom Zoom Boom Zoom Zoom Boom, Oh Zoom Zoom Boom CHORUS You'd better fire the torpedo Lock and Load Fire the torpedo You'd better fire the torpedo Pick me off Finish me off Fire Away (Zoom Zoom Boom, Oh) Fire Away (Zoom Zoom Boom) Fire Away (Zoom Zoom Boom, Oh) Fire Away (Zoom Zoom Boom)

When your heart's been the victim in a drive-by Recovery can take time But it marches on with or without you So why aren't you choosing to live What are you afraid of? Why can't you forget and forgive? You've suffered enough And it's time to let go because CHORUS Blink your eyes The future's in the past, in the past And all that's left Are faded photographs, photographs Oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-ohhhh Oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-ohhhh Days and nights you're haunted by the memories The what-ifs and could have been Of live unlived among the shadows When you deserve only light Stop making excuses Take the leap and know you can fly Believe you can do this Stand, face the fear and try CHORUS Blink your eyes The future's in the past, in the past And all that's left Are faded photographs, photographs Oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-ohhhh Oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-ohhhh You've suffered enough And it's time to let go because You've got too much fight Just to give in Come in to the light Back to livin' Life is short Stop throwing it all away (I'll say it again, cause..) You've got too much fight Just to give in Come in to the light Back to livin' Life is short Stop throwing it all away Away CHORUS (x2) Blink your eyes (Oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-ohhhh) The future's in the past, in the past And all that's left (Oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-ohhhh) Are faded photographs, photographs

The Surface (Acoustic Version) 04:37

I really must admit at first that I was thrown To hear from you So urgently It's been so long Never imagined you'd be coming 'round my way To dip a foot In to the depths Of yesterday And I don't know what To feel inside I can't say no I'm terrified That it's too soon And it may always be CHORUS Cause what if I Look deep in your eyes And everything comes rushing to the surface? What if you Can read it in mine And everything comes rushing to the surface? Do I still take you to the places I had planned? Or will you come For coffee just To shake my hand? Will either of us even know the words to say? Or will we sit In silence 'til You're on your way? Do we laugh and joke And play pretend That we were never more than friends? Can you do that? I'm not sure I can CHORUS Cause what if I Look deep in your eyes And everything comes rushing to the surface? What if you Can read it in mine And everything comes rushing to the surface? Oh, what if we get caught up in the moment? And the tears start rollin' We never had a real goodbye What if it's plain to see you still love me? And you reach out to touch me? Can we swim against the tide? CHORUS Cause what if I (Oh, what if we get caught up in the moment?) Look deep in your eyes (And the tears start rollin') And everything comes rushing to the surface? What if you (What if it's plain to see you still love me?) Can read it in mine (And you reach out to touch me?) And everything comes rushing to the surface? The other reason for this song You see, to heal my heart I've finally started moving on So honestly I'd mostly be relieved If plans could change So we'd remain A memory
