Dreams 05:28
You never see the light that leads you out the dark Cos you're too busy counting sheep While I'm as high as a kite You're losing sleep tonight As the warning signs flash across your eyes, You're losing hope and you grow tired But maybe it's just a little too cold You put a sweater on just to let her know, oh Maybe it's just a little too old You put your TV on just to keep her close, oh Oh, she's always in denial Cause she craves for something closer Oh, she waits for his arrival But it's only in her dreams She says the things that make you hollow You want the truth when it's hard to swallow When's your suffering ever gonna end? And if you're in too deep Then I'll be catching sleep And losing everything I love for you But maybe it's just a little too cold You put a sweater on just to let her know, oh Maybe it's just a little too old You put your TV on just to keep her close, oh Oh, she's always in denial Cause she craves for something closer Oh, she waits for his arrival But it's only in her dreams Oh, she's always in denial Cause she craves for something closer Oh, she waits for his arrival But it's only in her dreams

Runaway 04:18
Yesterday I woke up from a dream And you were standing next to me Everything around in a giddy haze But somehow things fell into place For you dear Got no money in my pockets but I don't care Just give me some time and I'll be there For you dear And I don't really know how this works out But you can follow me tonight and figure it out Together, forever 6 AM and nobody's home You look into my eyes already know Are you sure? And we could talk for hours Till there's no sunlight Our lips will touch Our worlds collide For you dear You know I'd do anything for you

Sinking 04:47
Look, look up above I cannot see the right way up I'm climbing up these walls I'm climbing up these walls to fall down You, you're all I see This empty feeling, inside of me Has got me bleeding it's got me bleeding to the bone And we are always drowning and we are always crying and we are slowly sinking The words on the ceiling they don't look the same but they're calling out to me they're calling out to me to set me free I'm giving all that's left of me I'm giving it all You're taking what you came for You're taking what you came for You're taking the fall And we are always drowning and we are always crying and we are slowly sinking And we are always drowning and we are always crying and we are slowly sinking

Bones 04:52
You said I was born to love you, So then why won't you call? And everytime that I tried to phone you, You'd say nothing at all I know that it's too late and there's nothing left to do But honey I've got to admit That I miss missing you I've been trying my best To understand all the things we said last night I've been trying my best to make things right And I won't settle for Sleeping on my own And I won't settle for Leaving you alone If there's just one feeling I wanna feel it in my bones I know that it seems that we're over And that the weight of the world Has finally fell our shoulders I know that it's too early But I'm dying to hear you say That you wouldn't have it any other way I've been trying my best to acquiesce all the things we did last night I've been trying my best to make things right And I won't settle for Sleeping on my own And I won't settle for Leaving you alone If there's just one feeling I wanna feel it in my bones
