You Make Me Feel
04:09

|||
I was so scared, that I was the only one who cared about the way I feel
But I was even more scared, to step into the light and say that I felt that way.
so color me fearful, color me insecure
but I didn't know just what I needed
but you had the best of it in store
maybe i'm needy. But I am totally sure
that this is something I've never felt before
(pre1) I know all the things I say sometimes don't match what I do
And even when I'm honest I hold back from you
And with every word I say to you I wish wasn't true,
There's one thing that I really want to say to you
(Chorus1)You make me feel something 2x
You make me feel something good
In the way that you open up my heart (touch my heart)
Talkin' 'bout that love you make me feel
v2: So what If I'm scared, that people might just see into this heart of glass
I want you to know me, and I wanna look you in the eye know that I'll make it as I am
Yes I'm guilty, oh but affliction makes no sense
Gotta go one way or the other, there's no closure on the fence
Nothing is easy, and I think that's okay
its this journey not the ending that makes me wanna say that
(Chorus2)You make me feel something 2x
You make me feel something good
Talkin' 'bout that love you make me feel
(Pre 2)my pride is always whispering that I'll get away
with all the things I take for granted everyday
You bring me back to earth whenever I lose my way
You've always got the right things to say
(chorus 3 stripped)You make me feel
(guitar harmony part)
(You make me feel so good 4x)
You make me feel something!
You make me feel something good!

I Don't Know How
03:57
|
|||
3 am on an endless day,
same four walls and an empty page
swearing other people the same thing better
somehow still escaping me,
the simple words for what we see,
The metaphor or phrase to tie it together
It's hard to love the things you've got
when all you see's the things you're not relating.
but if bits and pieces don't combine,
and flow just right in perfect time
am I fakin'? will I make it?
Well I don't know how to just not worry
I don't know to take my time
I don't know how to keep myself from second guessing peace of mind
I don't know how to not make trouble
But I cannot be dissuaded by
the uphill climb
of the answers I can't find
Somehow still escaping me
how to produce these things I dream
but do it without manufacturing
but my worried hands, and my doubtful mouth,
Would tell you I've got it all figured right out,
and letting 5am sneak right up on me
It's harder than it's ever been,
to force myself to look within
and be strong
But I cannot live this life to find
I wasn't strong enough to leave behind
The fear of being wrong,
or being right all along
Well I don't know how to just not worry
I don't know to take my time
I don't know how to keep myself from second guessing peace of mind
I don't know how to not make trouble
But I won't be dissuaded by
the uphill climb…
I wonder if every simple melody was taken
and every word I thought I knew was right was gone
What if every world I thought I knew by now was shaken..
could I push through and be strong?
Would I have the heart to carry on?
What would I do?
Well I don't know how to just not worry
I don't know to take my time
I don't know how to keep myself from second guessing peace of mind
I don't know how to not make trouble
But I won't be dissuaded by
the uphill climb
of the answers I can't find

If You Could Choose
04:29
|

If you could choose, would you lay down your armor
and make believe like we'd met for the very first time.
consciously try to try
no reservations this time
about something we both know can thrive
and we will give it one more try
Swearin' you're decent, swear you're not hiding
filling up schedules hoping your heart fills too
I'm scared you'll forget me soon.
and what if I forgot you too?
we could just fall right on through.
or we, could give it one more try
we wanna protect but we're only just human
trying to learn how to love and be loved in return
do you fabricate how you feel?
or ardently hold to ideals?
Or pretend it until its real?
we'd l give it one more try
I wanna see it in your eyes,
that this means something to you
that it means what you say
I wanna see it in your eyes
that it means something to you
that I was worth the time you spent
I just want to know what you've been so afraid to show.
Nothing else about this has to change.
but we'll have to compromise for whats here and now
and stop how we deny...
What's been going on
keep busy, keep frantic and keep your heart at bay
but there's no emotion that your body won't learn to betray
If there's something you need to say
tell me and don't look away
ask me, I'd be glad to stay.
we could give it one more try.
if you could choose, would you lay down your armor
and make believe like we've met for the very first time.

Moving On
04:26

Sitting in a dark room thinking' 'bout who I'm supposed to be
and how much that means to me
I'm feellin' like the outside's looking' in
staring a hole through me
But I can't tell what they see
They'll take the time to look you in the eye and try to break you as a man
I'm just doing the best I can
but I'm held by the fear that's keeping me here
pressing me under my own thumb
well I will not succumb
I've gotta keep moving on to higher ground
starting today, makin' my way
ain't no reason to be stuck around
lettin' life get away (fadin' away)
You gotta keep movin' on to higher ground
No matter what they say, I'm gonna keep movin' anyway
Well everyday it feels like everyone's movin' in separate ways.
But still trying to make me stay.
And I'm losin' all my daylight thinking' 'bout what other people say
You'll lose your mind that way
I'm worried 'bout facts and how will they react
to the man that i'm trying' to be today
that can't be the way
You gotta keep moving on to higher ground
starting today, makin' my way
ain't no reason to be stuck around
lettin' life get away (fadin' away)
especially when every single day
is a gift, not a promise, wouldn't you say?
And I just cannot let myself get in the way
of enjoying this life my way (yeah)
I've been so scared of being my self today.
I've been so scared of living my life my way.
I've been so scared of doin' the things my heart say
I've been way too scared but not anymore!
You gotta keep moving on to higher ground
starting today, makin' my way
ain't no reason to be stuck around
lettin' life get away (fadin' away)
You gotta keep movin' on to higher ground
That's the only way I know I'll be okay
I'm not scared of fadin' away, I'm not gonna fade away

Meant To Be
04:39

It maybe the way you look when we're talking
It maybe the way we talk when we're not.
It may be the way we wander through a conversation freely
And wind up right where we think we oughta' be
Oh amazing is the way
Our hearts beat just the same.
This heart I never knew
I found when I found you.
'Cause I think,
We were meant to be happy, you and me.
Mistakes I often make and I don't notice
But I know you'll see the heart its hard to show
I'm hearing words I haven't clearly spoken
I'm trying' to think them loud enough that you might know
That amazing is the way
Our hearts beat just the same
And I wanted you to know
I can't wait to see us grow
'Cause I think:
we were meant to be happy you and me
There will be misfortune that falls upon us
We will have our doubts, of that I'm sure.
But there is something special when two people align and both realize
they're beautiful sides of an even better whole
'Cause I think, we we're meant to be happy, you and me.

I Wanna Live
05:06
|

There is an ache inside of me
and it permeates the things I see.
it's here to waste the steady pace that we both know its gonna take
to get from here to where I'll be
And If I could undo just one thing
it'd be the doubt with which I dream
that hesitation that's extending all the roads that stand between
possibility in me
Well I can't wait, I've got to create
Something that will stay… when I'm gone
Well, I want to hope, I want to try
I want to live, for the rest of my life.
I want to give, I want to thrive
I want to live, till the day that I die.
There's been a few mistakes I'm sure
have dug their holes inside my heart.
But view the holes as opportunity to plant the seeds ya got
and you will work , but they will grow.
And so the question reappears.
Are you a slave to things you fear?
Well I don't think fearlessness is possible
But I know that courage is
but can't exist without it's peer
still I can't wait, I've got to create
something that can stay when I'm gone
I want to hope, I want to thrive
I want to live, till the day that I die.
I want to give, I want to try
I want to live, for the rest of my life.
I wanna be something that means something
(repeat)Where do I go? Who should I be?
There is no answer, only what's inside of me
Well, I want to hope, I want to try
I want to live, for the rest of my life.
I want to give, I want to thrive
I want to live, till the day that I die.
