Lyrics.

01 – PLAY IT COOL

Give me a real solution
Give me a resolution
Give me a reason not to look away

When all of the sounds are fading
We are anticipating
What could be greater than to just give in?

I don’t wanna play it cool
What do I mean to you?

I know I’ll never win

02 – IF YOU ONLY KNEW

This pen you hold with no regard
This former version of yourself
And with the words you whisper
This could mean the end
You’ll never quite begin

I am the moment that you dread
I am the middle of the night
I am the only noise you hear
Inside your room
The sound of giving in

One more inch could mean
Losing everything
But I would dare to dream
If I could say to you:

If you only knew

You won’t allow yourself to breathe
You know you’re better on your own
Outside, the sky is turning seasons into years
You know you’ll never be the same

03 – PROOF

Maybe this is circumstantial
Maybe this is evidence
I’m tired of running ’round in circles
I’m tired, now, of scaling this fence

Why should I believe
In something I can’t see?

The only task at hand is proving
Enough to make them doubt it too
And I must say that I’m convincing
And doubting is easy to do

Why should I believe
In something I can’t see?
I would just as soon
Walk away from you

I don’t want to waste my time
On hoping that it’s true
When I don’t have the proof
I don’t want to waste my time
On hoping that it’s you
When I don’t have the proof

04 – DISAPPOINTED

How it all begins
Never seems to be
How the story ends

What I thought I’d found
Seemed so promising
So my guard came down

And I hoped for it
And you let me

Is it safe to say
Almost everything
Will end up the same?

And now, looking back
Is it safe to say
That I knew my fate?

‘Cause I hoped for it
And you let me

You let me believe
That you were something else
But I was lying to myself
And I’m disappointed now
I’m disappointed

I believed that you were something else
But I was lying to myself
And I’m disappointed now
I’m disappointed

05 – JABBERWOCKY

Like a jabberwocky
I am hungry for your love

In the midnight hour
I am hungry for your love

You don’t have to want me
I am hungry for your love

Like a jabberwocky
I am hungry for your love

06 – GREAT UNRAVELING

It must be nice to know
There’s a boy in Jersey
Who would do anything for you

Circumstance has left you
Washed up on the shore
And you do not know what to do

And while the summer sun gave way
Your judgment called it an early day

It must be nice to know
That you have your choice
Of anybody in the room

The only time
You ever feel alone
Is when you want to

And as your hands were taking hold
Your heart slipped out of your control

And it left you wanting more
But more of what, you didn’t know
You just knew you had to have it
So began the great unraveling

I know that you wanted me to stay
And I know that you wanted things
To end up a certain way
But I’ll fight this with everything I am
Because I don’t know if you’re right for me
And I am tired of chasing destiny

07 – THE LIGHT WAS GONE

Let the curtain fall
This stage you set for me
I will stand alone

Let the curtain fall
Until it’s safe to leave
I will stand alone

We couldn’t play the part

The light was gone
Before we found ourselves

08 – BURIED IN THE BASEMENT

Nothing here to
Prove you ever happened
Nothing left to show

For all the bloodshed
And the aftermath
You’d think I’d be so guilty

You’re in a box and buried in the basement
Buried in the basement floor

09 – IT’S NOT A CHASE

A million circles ’round the same old thing
Did you hear me when I told you
It’s not a chase, it’s a stand-off?

10 – COULD HAVE KEPT YOU

These walls have wounds, too
It’s not just me and you

We’ll wash away soon
The sun will fade us, too

Could have kept you
If I’d wanted to

11 – MOMENTS

Here I go again
Here we go again

We will never know
What we could have known

No matter where this takes me
No matter what this takes of me

I can see the end
I can’t change the end

But I understand
I will understand

No matter where this takes me
No matter what this takes of me

It’s better than missing these moments with you

12 – STOP, I GET IT (NEVERMIND REDUX)

I spoke too soon
I never talked to you
No matter what I said
Or what I tried to do

No time left to spend
No sinking in the sand
No waiting for some sign
Or waving of your hands

You may not have seen
Hidden traps beneath
Words and fallen leaves
And all the space between

Stop, I get it: it wasn’t obvious

So nevermind
