Drive 05:41
I’m not going, I’m not going How can I make you understand You can leave me, oh leave me I will not devise the plan I’m not going, I’m not going No, I will stay And you can leave me, don’t you leave me Not when there’s so much to say And you can drive, drive, drive Can’t leave it all behind So drive, go ahead drive You can’t take me, can’t take me Not from this spot where I stand Can’t erase me, can’t erase me Don’t act like you can You can drive, drive, drive I’m not in the driver’s seat tonight So drive, go ahead drive You speed away so fast Remember me, I’m standing here Or did you speed away so fast That I disappeared Three years later, you show up at my door With some crazy ultimatum Say you won’t date her anymore If I can show you love where I came from And how does it look, how does it sound After you haven’t been around So drive Well I am confused, a little bit mad That you think you can just come on back Don’t want to be used when you feel bad How do you like the sound of that And how does it look, how does it sound You pushed me out onto the ground So drive I might speed away so fast Don’t think for a minute that I won’t go I might speed away so fast And you can’t follow So I Just wanted to be clear After all this waiting here Out here, and I’m out here on my own I admit it’s made me stronger, made me stronger I might speed away so fast Don’t think for a minute that I won’t go I might speed away so fast And you can’t follow I’m not going, I’m not going Not if I leave here with you You can leave me, oh leave me ‘Cause I might be leaving too

Blue Eyes 03:46
Blue eyes, blue eyes I just want to love you Hold you, squeeze you, kiss you, touch you Maybe you’re thinkin’ exactly what I’m thinkin’ You tell me you’re not thinkin’ what I’m thinkin’ Well I’m not tryin’ to change ya, I’m just tryin’ to change your mind Maybe if you knew me then you’d change your mind About me, maybe And you said that you’d never want to date me Maybe I’m special, and I’ll drive you crazy No, no, no – not that kind of crazy I just wanna know my chances boy ‘Cause I’m not tryin’ to change ya, I’m just tryin’ to change your mind Maybe if you knew me then you’d change your mind About me, baby Chorus I thought I saw something in your eyes Was it just a speck of brown, just a speck of brown I thought I saw something in your blue, blue eyes Just a speck of brown, was it just a speck of brown Well I’m not tryin’ to change ya, I’m not tryin’ to change ya Listen carefully, talk slow – you know that I like that You don’t have to do it though, just because I like that Anything you’re doing, oh, I bet I would like that I like you just the way you are ‘Cause I’m not tryin’ to change ya, I’m just tryin’ to change your mind Maybe if you knew me then you’d change your mind About me, would you, could you, maybe Chorus I could be ready for this love If you tell me you’re the one Chorus I thought I saw, I thought I saw I thought I saw, I thought I saw I thought I saw, I thought I saw Something in your blue, blue eyes Something in your blue, blue eyes Something in your blue, blue eyes I like you just the way you are
3.
Make me a fool, but don’t make me a joke Just tell me you meant all those stupid words that you spoke I am drunk on this wine, but more high on your love Feed into my insatiable appetite, I can’t get enough Chorus If it’s love, love, love, I’d be so kind To show you mine You show me yours Is this an offering for something more sweet Messenger, messenger bring me a scheme Make it mysterious, subtly dark and obscene I am dying here, lying here, eyes open wide to your grace Pack me up, pick me up, love me, then lose me in space Chorus Obviously open and hopin’ for something to find Tell me, oh great one, exactly what you had in mind
4.
Not The Same 05:25
It’s not the same, as I wanted it to be It’s not the same, but what could I do when you put those arms around me And who’s to blame for this newfound insecurity I don’t love you, and you’re not the one Yes I swear, I don’t love you, and you’re not the one It’s not the same, as I pictured it inside my head It’s not the same, but I can’t complain, ‘Cause I don’t know who I wanted you to be instead And who’s to blame for new love I’ve found I don’t love you, but why don’t you want me around Yes I swear, I don’t love you, but why don’t you want me around Chorus And if I feel all right, does that mean I should stay the night And if I feel just fine, does that mean I should let it slide I don’t know, I don’t know ‘Cause I haven’t been here before But you have, and you know that it’s not the same It may never be the same situation, you and me in this bed It may never be the same, me telling you, you can go on right ahead And who’s to blame for this act of sinking so low I don’t love you, but I just can’t let you go Yes I swear, I don’t love you, but I just can’t let you go Chorus I guess I feel a little bit better Knowing that this might really be the last time But if I say less, does that mean there is less to say And if I talk less, does that mean we don’t talk at all If I feel all right, well I guess I could stay the night If I feel just fine, well I guess I could let it slide But I don’t know, I don’t know ‘Cause I haven’t been here before But you have, and you know it’s not that same Chorus

Waiting for something that I swear will never come It’s getting late, I’ll take this chance I have and run Something about this keeps me planted where I am It’s this place that I hate that defines who I am Trapped in this mind of mine, resistant to your touch Though I avoid it, I desire it too much Speak softly the words I’d like to hear To me it’s everything; to you it’s not so clear Let’s make this easier on both of us It’s not about me, and it’s not about the love If you don’t trust yourself, then who do you trust You tell me when enough is enough Chorus I need someone who is bound to understand Somebody help me if you really think you can I’m not about to give up on this old man But I’m giving up on this old love I’m giving up on this old love My eyes are open I see anything I like I disregard the things I hate if that’s all right I don’t need no stress, I haven’t got the time So I’m giving up on this old love I’m giving up on this old love So I’ll take a step back, and I’ll watch you walk away If this is what you wanted that is all you had to say Don’t you pretend like it’s not me and it’s you Your words are clear, and I fear that I can hear right through If this is something that you hate then let it go I’ll be alright, just give me time, I’ll take it slow Ain’t no use trying so hard to make you change When I’m the only one who feels the same Let’s make this easier on both of us It’s not about me, and it’s not about the love If you don’t trust yourself, then who do you trust You tell me when enough is enough Chorus Did you think I put up some kind of show Don’t you know I would never go so low Don’t you worry ‘cause I’m about to go But before I go – I’d like to know Was it worth it, I’d like to know This old love, I’m giving up on love This old love, I’m giving up on love This old love, I’m giving up on love I’m giving up on us giving up on this old love Waiting for something that I swear will never come

The BS Song 03:52
I am not bitter, just disappointed that's all It was just one night, tell me who's at fault And how would know You casually walked away, avoiding lectures with your stride But you can't change words around to make them please you Now how do they sound Raising my whole voice up to a shout Cause that's what this whole love was all about I can't hear you, I'm drowning you out Drowning you out You told me I was beautiful as we laid in the grass you called a bed You should've known that you'd get to my head Now how do I look You kissed me so right, told me I made you numb And so we rolled into the night Now how do you feel Raising my whole voice up to a shout Cause that's what this whole love was all about I can't hear you, I'm drowning you out Drowning you out Now you stand here different than before Left me so that I would want so more I can't hear you, I'm crying out Cry out I can't hear you, I'm drowning out Drowning you out I am not bitter

I Swear It 03:05
This is how it started off We were friends, we were friends, we were friends, I swear it This is how it ended up Now we both, now we both, now we both can’t bear it And so you leave me to face the world and all their naïve blame This is how it ended up Go ahead, go ahead make me feel ashamed Can a girl not score any sympathy in her misery Can’t a boy come clean when his stupidity is placed on me Chorus Say we did it, could you live with it How was I, I can’t seem to remember Were we good together, baby Say I loved you, did I love you And how exactly did I say it Please convey it for me, and make them all blind This is how we wound up now Now we’re sitting here, sitting here, sitting here starin’ And all we can talk about is how Neither one us, neither one us is carin’ And so you start to walk out on all the words that you once said And I sit here wonderin’ how those stories got, stories got into your head Can a girl not score any sympathy in her misery Can’t a boy come clean when his stupidity is placed on me Chorus So he talks, she talks ‘cause you talk Too bad you can’t walk the walk Now this is their view of me Thanks to you, you did this to me How does it feel to make up something that’s not real Does it even shake you at all Chorus This is how it started off We were friends, we were friends, we were friends, I swear it

I’ve seen rain and snow, the high and low But mainly low and so Everywhere I show down this old road People come and go, do you feel me Please pass me by, I just want that high Oh me oh my, do you feel me Gotta get me by, gotta get me high Oh me oh my, do you feel me Artificial drugs help me survive to stay alive and I’ve seen More worse times in this life of mine But I’ve felt more fine than I do now People pass me by, I just want that high Oh me oh my, do you feel me Gotta get me by, gotta get me high Oh me oh my, do you feel me Is it really such a worse state that I’ve been livin’ in Somebody please remind me when I’m supposed to begin Have I not already begun to begin the end Go ahead and lead this life After all we’re all friends Artificial things and the things they bring Make everything so perfect Gotta get me by, gotta get me high Oh me oh my, is it worth it Artificial things and the things they bring Make everything so perfect Gotta get me by, gotta get me high Oh me oh my, is it worth it

My Bruises 05:52
Please excuse my poor excuses I’ve got nothing to say Creating reasons for my bruises But they still won’t go away What is this love that has devoured me I feel lonelier than I felt before But I don’t need you, I don’t need you, no Someone help me help myself ‘cause I got lost along the way Things that seemed so clear to me once Clearly faded to gray What is love that I gave so much of myself to I came out empty-handed and numb But I don’t need you, I don’t need you, no Chorus Don’t you dare ask my friends about how I’m doin’ But now that you’ve asked, I’m doin’ just fine Don’t you dare talk about how much you really loved me You never loved me, no And I don’t need you, no Please understand my lack of understanding For all of your shit You told me you’d never been in love before But baby this ain’t it What is this love that has deceived me so I am always such a fool for words But I don’t need you, I don’t need you, no Chorus Well I apologize for my heart; it spills out like paint Only unlike paint, what spills never seems to stain I can’t reach your body, and I can’t reach your soul Your mind, your heart, your smile are beyond my control I have no control But I don’t need you, no I don’t need you, no Chorus So please excuse my poor excuses I’ve got nothing to say
