Hey There

Hey there,
What you think you been doin’ lately
Stealin' all my thoughts away baby
Sending me all off in daze here
And I couldn't walk by
I had to stop and talk for a short time
Hung on all your words I forgot mine
You said I look okay for a short guy
And maybe I'm too shy to say it hurts
When you’re out with someone else it’s just the worst
And I could try to take this all within my stride
But my heart keeps staining all the sleeves of my best shirts
Woah Woah
I’ll be here tonight
Woah Woah
I feel it every time
Life’s too short so take that chance
Don’t kick things down the line
Wooah Wooah
It’s fine
And I'm a sure thing
Waiting in the night for a phone ring
Anticipation too much to hold it
Reciprocating all that you told me
You wanna go to the movies
Can I get the tickets for two please
Been waiting all this time for a cupid
Finally I’m out of excuses
And maybe I'm too shy but I can learn
I’ll tell you how I feel and that’s for sure
Woah Woah
I’ll be here tonight
Woah Woah
I feel it every time
Life’s too short so take that chance
Don’t kick things down the line
Wooah Wooah
It’s fine
Woah Woah
We’ll be here tonight
Woah Woah
I’ll take your hand in mine
Life’s too short so have that dance
Don’t let love pass you by
Wooah Wooah
It’s fine

Don’t fall for this again
I know it seems like I’ve got shit together
But I’m all out of spare room in my head
And I’m not trying to bring you down
But I’ve been trying for days to remember
Why you still bothered to stick this one out
Understand I’m not trying to remind you
There’s no plan I’m just dying in the back room
But I’ll keep
Myself here
Without your help it’s where I belong
And I’ve been
Heard but not seen
Without a care for far too long
Wait I think I’ve figured this out
I struggled to show my emotions
Every time you got angry and loud
And I know we tried to talk but I found
It’s not that easy to get the right words out
Through all the blood that’s been filling my mouth
It’s a disaster and I don’t care
I may have tried to show devotion
I could have asked her but it’s not fair
Just another drop in your blue ocean
But I’ll keep
Myself here
Without your help it’s where I belong
And I’ve been
Heard but not seen
Without a care for far too long
Now we’ll see
That we’re free
To scream out loud and tear our lungs
We’re not clean
It’s obscene
But now it’s over I know I was wrong

I keep you locked away on a shelf
With the memories that we can't erase
Did you think I was only here for my health?
Or the demons that you couldn't face?
I'm not here to say goodbye
Again
Bright lights
Broken skies
Falling down
From empty highs
Night time
Is here at last
Waiting for
The dark to pass
I can pass for a friend in a broken light
But no one asks and I'm too tired to call
I can quit this moment whenever I like
I've done it a thousand times before
I'm not here to say goodbye
Again
I'm just here to see you out
My friend
Bright lights
Broken skies
Falling down
From empty highs
Night time
Is here at last
Waiting for
The dark to pass
I'm not here to say goodbye
Again
I've done it a thousand times before
Bright lights
Broken skies
Falling down
From empty highs
Night time
Is here at last
Waiting for
The dark to pass

Strange Kind of Madness
03:41

They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place
Well I guess they never met you
They say it’s okay to lie if you can save face
Well I guess that’s just what I’ll do
The nightmares only come when you let them imagine
All the ways that they can break through
You’re high and waiting for someone to answer
While you stand a stare at the Moon
And I’ll wait for you
And I’ll wait for you
They say it’s only a strange kind of madness
That keeps you locked in your room
They say you don’t need all this well meaning sadness
Won’t you just tell me what you want to do
And I’ll wait for you
And I’ll wait for you
And I’ll wait for you
And I’ll wait for you

She brushed her hair to the side
And looked him dead in the eyes
He tried his best to play it cool
He had the rest of his night to decide
If he could keep up with all the lies
She just smiled and she told him that she knew
That they would never feel this way again
And they could never be the same again
He danced home that night / and fell into her bed
She could have been more careful / but the drink was in her head
But when they woke that morning / they felt no regret
They just smiled / wiped the sleep from their eyes
And then promised to do this again
He never quite managed to play the friend
He couldn’t help all the things that he’d said
She had her ways to pull him through
But she grew tired of caring alone
Of living her life through her phone
He never smiled maybe he knew
That they would never feel this way again
And they would never be the same again
She walked home that night / and cried herself to sleep
And he left all his hate / behind the bar with his front teeth
She couldn’t take the stress / she never wanted to make a scene
They’re better alone / she felt it deep in her bones
Maybe now was the time she should leave
And he found out
That she was heading out of town
And he ran down / to the station
And he said
You feel like fire / and you burn me alive
But I can take it let’s not waste this please come home tonight
And she danced home that night / and fell into her bed
And he just stood and smiled / at the last thing that she had said
There is more to life than / trying not to be alone
I’d love you again / you’ll always be in my head
But I’m sorry baby I’ve got to go
And she said
You feel like fire / and you burn me alive
Every time we touch I forget all the reasons why
We can’t stay here / and throw away our lives
For crowded rooms and distractions and butterflies
You feel like fire / and you burn me alive
Every time we touch I forget all the reasons why
We can’t stay here / and throw away our lives
For crowded rooms and distractions and butterflies
