We've got the time Let's let all the towns go dark and drive We'll drive through the night I don't want to think Just pick my mix where we can sing along We'll sing through the night This is all I needed It was you Run away keep going on With you beside me You beside me This is all I needed It was you Run away keep going on With you beside me You beside me You're all I ever need You're all I ever needed You rest your eyes And crack a smile when I sing the words all wrong We'll laugh through the night I don't want to sleep Just watch the stars as they go flying by We'll dream through the night This is all I needed It was you Run away keep going on With you beside me You beside me This is all I needed It was you Run away keep going on With you beside me You beside me This is all I needed It was you Run away keep going on With you beside me You beside me You're all I ever need You're all I ever needed

I'm bent and I'm fixated on this hunger you've created I know what I need oh I know what I need Let's not complicate it I know what I need oh I know what I need Let's not complicate it Why do you keep hiding from me You know I can come and get you Thinking about how sweet it could be You go down so easy baby Why do you keep hiding from me You know I can come and get you Thinking about how sweet it could be You go down so easy baby Tonight I plan to let this get out of hand until there's nothing left I'll go out and get what I demand and leave with no regrets I feel it, I want it, I need it, I'll take it I feel it, I want it, I need it, I'll take it I feel it, I want it, I need it, I'll take it I feel it, I want it, I need it, I'll take it Why do you keep hiding from me You know I can come and get you Thinking about how sweet it could be You go down so easy baby Why do you keep hiding from me You know I can come and get you Thinking about how sweet it could be You go down so easy baby Why do you keep hiding from me You know I can come and get you Thinking about how sweet it could be You go down so easy baby

How can I be you Get inside your head Be you All the things I can't do Come so easily to you Use your mouth Let my words fall out Use your hands Letting me reach out Use your voice Let me laugh out loud Use your eyes See me through the crowd Not pretty too shy so You pass me by now baby Not pretty too shy so You pass me by now baby Not pretty too shy so You pass me by now baby Not pretty too shy so You pass me by now baby Now I can be you Stand outside your house Be you All my dreams can come true Taken easily from you Use your mouth Let my words fall out Use your hands Letting me reach out Use your voice Let me laugh out loud Use your eyes See me through the crowd Can't somebody tell me how to start my Can't somebody tell me how to stop my Can't somebody tell me how to start my Can't somebody tell me how to stop my life My life Just outside my door I watch you pass Each day you pass without a look back Not pretty too shy so You pass me by now baby Not pretty too shy so You pass me by now baby Not pretty too shy so You pass me by now baby Not pretty too shy so You pass me by now baby

Son he said my day has come to walk along the path of sun When the dust settles only one will stand A victor or a broken man A bargain with a gun can't be undone So I stand before you a fatherless son I had to live my life in the shadow of a man oh That man who ran I had to live my life in the shadow of a man oh That man who ran Son he said I paid my price but in this life we all sacrifice He smiled and said can't outrun your sin Ain't no time for what might have been A bargain with a gun can't be undone So I stand before you a fatherless son I had to live my life in the shadow of a man oh That man who ran I had to live my life in the shadow of a man oh That man who ran I had to live my life in the shadow of a man oh That man who ran I had to live my life in the shadow of a man oh That man who ran

I'm moving on I see you racing up by my side All hair and teeth with that hungry smile Ooh girl you know I ain't got the time I can't keep you from keeping on Keeping on reaching out Reaching out touching me Making me shut you out You can keep keeping on Coming on way too strong I'll just keep on moving on I'm moving on I'm gone Why can't we hang on a Friday night You're evening's open well ain't that nice Ooh girl don't bother asking me twice You gotta read between the lines Start picking up on all my signs Ooh have you lost your mind Ooh girl you can't be this blind I can't keep you from keeping on Keeping on reaching out Reaching out touching me Making me shut you out You can keep keeping on Coming on way too strong I'll just keep on moving on I'm moving on I'm gone You know I ain't got the time

Tonight we make our retreat from an angry man Running down the halls Staining all the walls Starting here and now it's only you and me We can watch it burn and finally be free Starting here and now it's only you and me We can watch it burn and finally be free The world was never as beautiful as this The world was never as beautiful as this You could say he had it coming He should've known Now we'll have to spend a lifetime running We never can go home Starting here and now it's only you and me We can watch it burn and finally be free Starting here and now it's only you and me We can watch it burn and finally be free The world was never as beautiful as this The world was never as beautiful as this The world was never as beautiful The world was never No, not as beautiful

You never said it wasn't You never said it wasn't right You danced round all my subjects We never stopped to have a fight But when the walls are closing in and you're caught looking for the door There's no way out there's no way in You've cut your losses you're not playing anymore There's no way now we're gonna win So what the fuck has all of this been for Have you just been wasting all our time That time was mine I never thought I'd be the one who had to claw my way out of my own life But then today I saw the sun and thought hey I am gonna be alright I think I've finally seen it I think I've finally seen the light I've tossed and turned and screamed and Now I sleep soundly through the night But when the walls start closing in and I'm caught wondering if there's more There's no way now that I'll give in I've count my losses and I'm ready for a win I think it's time that I begin Because what the fuck have been waiting for Have you just been wasting all our time That time was mine I never thought I'd be the one who had to claw my way out of my own life But then today I saw the sun and thought hey I am gonna be alright I never thought I'd be the one who had to claw my way out of my own life But then today I saw the sun and thought hey I am gonna be alright

Us Vs. Them 03:51
lyrics

I love the glow the way the lights go on inside I'd like to know if in the darkness something hides there I love the way the lady greets you with a smile I'd like to know if what you get is worth the price there Please be seated We'll be with you in just a little while If you could just stand to one side And let others pass by If you please I'm sure you'll find that you won't mind Just waiting in that line Til I'm free Sometimes it feels as if I may not really exist I never know what's going on inside their minds It seldom shows if someone truly in inside there I never see the light of kindness in their eyes It often seems like we are really getting nowhere Please be seated We'll be with you in just a little while She said it's been such a long time It's been such a wrong time For me She said you've taken your sweet time And all on my dime Don't you see It seems like all the do is scream push and persist All of this time Why has it been With so much to lose No one can win If we insist on us versus them It often seems like we are really getting nowhere

You come around again you know you know you know I'll tell your girl and then she'll know she'll know You know how this will end oh I know I know I know I'll take your girl and then we'll go we'll go You might think I wasn't listening but You forgot just now I saw the way it ended You might think I wasn't listening but You forgot just now I saw the way it ended Saw the way it ended I was right and you were wrong I will sing my victory song Put you down where you belong I was right and you were wrong I will sing my victory song Put you down where you belong We'll go out every night and meet up with your friends Our paths will cross again but when but when And how far will I go I know I know I know I'm how you meet your end uh oh oh no You might think I wasn't listening but You forgot just now I saw the way it ended You might think I wasn't listening but You forgot just now I saw the way it ended You might think I wasn't listening but You forgot just now I saw the way it ended You might think I wasn't listening but You forgot just now I saw the way it ended Saw the way it ended I was right and you were wrong I will sing my victory song Put you down where you belong I was right and you were wrong I will sing my victory song Put you down where you belong

Worth The Waiting 04:34 video
lyrics

All the lists, all the wants, all the cities Tightened fists, wasted months, what a pity Why ask why Such a face, another place, now we're dreaming Riding hope down the street, now we're scheming Why not try Wide eyed Got a plan, got a reason, now we're going live Shit went bad, tis the season, now let's go inside I've been sleeping, you've been thinking just to pass the time Now we need a good reason just to go outside Higher risk isn't always worth debating Stiff upper lip, you were always worth the waiting I've got time on my side Slow down for pick me up We'll spin once round the block And catch up while we walk and talk and talk and talk The words bounce round my head Push and pull, try to get out I'll hold your hand instead of figuring all this shit out This might just turn out fine with your hand in mine Got a plan, got a reason, now we're going live Shit went bad, tis the season, now let's go inside I've been sleeping, you've been thinking just to pass the time Now we need a good reason just to go outside Got a plan, got a reason, now we're going live She went bad, tis the season, now let's go inside I've been sleeping, you've been thinking just to pass the time Now we need a good reason just to go outside I always knew I was right about you, you're worth the waiting I always knew I was right you're worth the waiting and I always knew I was right I always knew I was I always knew I You're worth the waiting and I I always knew I was right
