1. WEIGH YOU DOWN (ACOUSTIC)

I lied straight to your face
When I said that it was over
Two damn years and I just find myself getting older

Sometimes I wish it could still be us
‘Cause I’d rather hold you than my grudge

Carry me away
This time I want you with me every day.

I hope you don’t become
That girl from back at home
‘Cause I can’t bare the thought

Time will tell girl
But I want you to know
Be careful where you throw your words around
Because they’ll always weigh you down

Under pressure.
It leaves me breathless.
You can change my mind
I will be reckless.

You’ve got a pretty face
But not the heart to match it
I give you everything
And watched you waste your chances

My biggest fear is that
We’ll lose touch
‘Cause my only crime is that
I cared too much.

I hope you, oh God I swear…
You better not become that girl from back at home
‘Cause I can’t bare the thought

Time will tell girl
But I want you to know
Be careful where you throw your words around
Because they’ll always weigh you down


Why did you tell me that you’d never be like them?
And all those times we spent together, was it for nothing?

Nobody wins if we fall back, then give in
We never learn from our sins
We fall apart.

You’re so uptight
And always so quick to fight
I swear you’re scared I just might
Treat you right.

I hope you don’t become
That girl from back at home
‘Cause I can’t bare the thought

Time will tell girl
But I want you to know
Be careful where you throw your words around
Because they’ll always weigh you down.


2. HOW SWEET (ACOUSTIC)

I can't even begin understanding
The plot that you're planning
Why'd you let me in?

Ever scheming
You hurt without reason
It all ends in treason
How could I let you...

Don't blame me
Everything is all your fault.
I've been staring at my cell phone,
Waiting for it to start lighting up.

I'm frustrated
Hate it when you say you'll call
Fairly certain that you're not alone,
Dating for dating's sake,
You're all talk.

It's out of hand now
I need you to explain how
Don't understand your reasoning,
Tell me why'd you let me in?

If we have secrets
Then maybe we should keep them
We're done just call it even.
How could I let you...

Don't blame me
Everything is all your fault.
I've been staring at my cell phone,
Waiting for it to start lighting up.

I'm frustrated
Hate it when you say you'll call
Fairly certain that you're not alone,
Dating for dating's sake,
You're all talk.

Honestly, I can't stand
The way you act
Fools everyone you meet.
(You meet but...)

I can see what they can't
So understand, I'm done with you and me.

Don't blame me
Everything is all your fault.
I've been staring at my cell phone,
Waiting for it to start lighting up.

I'm frustrated
Hate it when you say you'll call
Fairly certain that you're not alone,
Dating for dating's sake,
You're all talk.

How could I let you...

I don't even know,
I won't even hope.
I just don't get it,
I guess that's why I'm

Frustrated;
I'm so jaded
And I hate it.

This is why I'm
Frustrated;
I'm so jaded
And I hate it.

How could I let you in?


3. STAY EIGHTEEN (ACOUSTIC)

I'm going crazy
My heart is beating as fast as a chase scene
And I don't care.

Living for the hell of it,
Got all of these concerns
So all to hell with it.

Take me back to a simple time
When everybody that I knew wasn't trying to find
A way to be found, to belong or get out
My life turned upside down.

If kids can dream,
I never want to grow old
I wanna stay eighteen.

I'm terrified of many things
From burning, breaking all my bridges
And wedding rings.
I don't wanna know, baby I don't wanna know.
(Stay here with me.)

They say to put your best foot forward
But every single step is just one more closer
To the end of what I know
So why don't you just
(Stay here with me.)

They all say that home's where the heart is
And I'd know 'cause I've tried my
hardest
Just to see if I left it behind
But it was with me the whole time

If kids can dream,
I never want to grow old
I wanna stay eighteen.
And truth be told,
I'm scared of what could unfold
Can't we just stay eighteen?
Stay eighteen


4. DILATE (ACOUSTIC)

Pretend it's okay,
I’m fine in all of your eyes.
I hide it so well
I fool myself sometimes
Living day by day
My whole life's been rehearsed,
To die or pass away,
I forget which one's worse.

So, what gives you the right
To push me off to the side?
I've got a lot to learn as a man.

Do you know what it's like?
Can't even look in your eyes
Growing up didn't go as I planned.

I'm not a brave soul
And I never claimed to be.
Dilate my life,
Show what I want you to see.
Uptight & anxious
Feels like I've lost control
Someone take the wheel
I've already let go

So what gives you the right
To push me off to the side?
I've got a lot to learn as a man.

Do you know what it's like?
Can't even look in your eyes
Growing up didn't go as I planned.

I'm dying for the innocence,
That I can never, ever have again.
We're dying for the innocence,
That we can never, ever have again.
Never, ever have again.

So what gives you the right?
To push me off to the side?
I've got a lot to learn as a man.

Do you know what it's like?
Can't even look in your eyes
Growing up didn't go as I planned.


5. LOAD-IN, LOAD-OUT, STRIFE (ACOUSTIC)

Honey, won't you lie to me?
Tell me that you love me even if you don't, yeah.
The tension's killing me
If I can't help myself then I know that you won't.

Burning, burning
Who thought you could cause all this hurting, hurting?
But soon, the tables will be turning, turning
Until they do, give up on everything, everything
Can't love anything, anything.

I'm here stuck in your head, stuck in your head
You try to push me out, but I'm here like I've always been.
So, I'm constantly waiting the end of this
I wasn't like the rest, no I wasn't like the rest.

Burning, burning
Who thought you could cause all this hurting, hurting?
But soon, the tables will be turning, turning
Until they do, give up on everything, everything
Can't love anything, anything.
