SHE'S GOT ME (I GIVE IN)
Have you ever seen a girl like this
She makes the hardest things seem easy
Oh my god, I think I'm going crazy
'cuz when she smiles I swear it's everything
Now I'm singing along with the beat of my heart
It's beating for you
I need you to know- I give in
She's got me running around in circles
I'll never know the way into her heart
All I can do now is give it my best shot
I'm gonna give it everything I've got

THIS CITY (FEAT. KELVIN CRUZ)
This city's searching
Blue and red are calling me out
And if they find me maybe I'll finally know
'Cuz this is all I needed
This crime I cheated haunts me
And now my time's exceeded and I just can't believe you're gone
I've been running on these rooftops hoping not to fall
I've been driving with my eyes closed tightly to the world
This city's burning
I watch it all fall down to the ground
And as the flame grows I lose myself, oh no
And the smoke that's filling my lungs is killing me oh
And if the world stops spinning maybe I'll make sense of it all
(Kelvin Cruz of A Thorn for Every Heart)
Destiny chases any man who refuses to face it
Not gonna stand here and take it while the rest of the world seems complacent
This town has a history
That's the reason I'm burning it down
So this place is dead to me
They can sift through the ashes and search 'cuz I'll never be found
---------------------------------------
BETTER OFF ALONE
Break this trend of mine
Staying up to keep track of my progress with you
I can't help it now
Feeling sick every day 'cuz I want you for my own
So who wrote the rules
('cuz you run and I'm onto it)
Of who stays and goes
(to be honest, I'm over it)
I confess 'cuz I know I'm wrong
I'm changing, rearranging
I'm saving myself
Break this heart of mine
I know I can make do if you take it from me
I can't figure it out
So for now I will say that I'm better off alone
I never felt so right for being wrong
So tonight I'll make amends for moving on
Make amends for you

"Shirley, You Can't Be Serious" Lately I've been hearing all these things. (you know talk is cheap) Tell me darling, are you on your feet? (we're going) There's nothing left for us to think or say. (they don't know us anyway) They're just a waste of time. This time we'll be fine. (this time we'll make it) We'll make it, let's take it all the way. Let's take everything we should be back to where we left it. Let's take it all the way. This time, side by side, we'll decide what keeps us hanging on (are you ready?) Honestly there's nothing they can say (that would change the way) I feel about you now, you're everything. (you make me say) We'll make it (we'll make it) Let's take it (let's take it) We'll make it, let's take it all the way. I've seen everything she can be. They wanted us to fall. I loved her through it all. ------------------------------------------------------------------ "AND She's An Acrobat!" I wish I could say I've never seen you this way.
You're faded, I'm frustrated.
What makes you think this is the only way to catch his eye for tonight? I've heard it all before, "He just wants somebody else."
So now you're breaking out.
You're trying on another face.
You're wasted.
Now you've tasted life as something you're becoming. This is the way I feel tonight- fading away 'til morning light.
I'm packing all my bags tonight.
I'm losing my mind but I'll be all right if you tell me this is only a temporary side effect of being lonely. You think you'll mess it up.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
It's time to step it up.
You're not the only one who's feeling down.
You've been around.
Well think about it, we've all doubted. I watched you fall to the floor.
[You] fell away from it all.
You've lost all control.
I watched you crawl to the door.
Self respect is the cost when you're trying to cross his mind.
