1. WE'RE NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE

I don't know what you've been thinking, but things have changed.
That much is obvious, but what's got me oblivious is
chasing this tornado, but I think I'm okay
to step out into the sunlight and let my life rearrange.
When it's clear, I'll believe everything just happens for reasons we can't explain.

I don't know what you've been thinking, but things have changed and that much is obvious.
But what's got me oblivious is the changes in the weather.
And what have I been missing out on? Why aren't we together?
Was it something I said wrong? Was it something that I did?
That made you forget the promise you made and look elsewhere?

I've been chasing this tornado, but I think I'm okay
to step out into the sunlight and let my life rearrange.
When it's clear, I'll believe everything just happens for reasons we can't explain.

So just back up these words you've been saying for so long.
And when you've got it all figured out, you'll be sorry I moved on.

I don't know what you've been thinking, but things have changed.
That much is obvious, but what's got me oblivious is
chasing this tornado, but I think I'm okay
to step out into the sunlight and let my life rearrange.
When it's clear, I'll believe everything just happens for reasons we can't explain.


2. GHOST

You've been waging a war for quite some time
and I can't seem to figure out what's been weighing on your mind.
Meanwhile, your heart is breaking, you're tired of waiting. It's so painstaking.
But nothing's changing and you know...

That your spirit is as guilty as a god damned ghost,
and when the table's turned, you got burned and it hurt you the most.
I've been thinking of some way that I could
help you out of this hole that you've dug yourself into.

I don't know about you, but I know about us
and we won't be anything if you don't put down those drugs.
And though we should probably go our separate ways, I'm on my knees.
And maybe I'm not thinking clearly. I'm going crazy.

But your spirit is as guilty as a god damned ghost
and when the table's turned, you got burned and it hurt you the most.
I've been thinking of some way that I could
help you out of this hole that you've dug yourself into.

What have I become? Just somebody to steal from? And tell me where's the fun
to take advantage of the ones you love. Your selfish ways stand in the doorway.
And I'm not standing in your way. Go live your life ashamed.
You choose your own identity. It's written on your face.

I don't know about you, but I know about us
and we won't be anything if you don't put down those drugs.
And though we should probably go our separate ways, I'm on my knees.
And maybe I'm not thinking clearly. I'm going crazy.


3. CHASING DREAMS

We gave up our dreams in spectacular fashion.
I threw everything down the drain, so I'm asking
Where is my dignity?
I'm feeling guilty
I can't even sleep, no no.

And I just wanted you to know that
I'm crazy, but I thought maybe
If you're still up for chasing dreams
I've got some space in my backseat
And here lately, I've been thinking
And I just wanted you to know that you're the one worth changing for.

We're right back at it again.
I don't even know.
We've lost our purpose in this world,
'Cause causing pain's been the name of my game for so long that I don't even try to explain.

And what did I think was gonna happen when the walls came crashing down?
So try to stop me, and say what you will,
But I'm through being pushed around.

And we all have struggles.
That much is clear.
We've come a long way to build something here,
'Cause you're the one that I love and respect and revere

So I'm making this clear that I'm crazy, but I thought maybe
If you're still up for chasing dreams I've got some space in my backseat
And here lately, I've been thinking
And I just wanted you to know that you're the one worth changing for.

And we all have struggles,
That much is clear.
We've come a long way to build something here.
'Cause you're the one that I love and respect and revere,
So I'm making this clear that

We gave up our dreams in spectacular fashion.
I threw everything down the drain, so I'm asking
Where is my dignity?
I'm feeling guilty
I can't even sleep, no no.

And I just wanted you to know that I'm crazy,
But I thought maybe
If you're still up for chasing dreams,
I've got some space in my backseat
And here lately, I've been thinking
And I just wanted you to know that you're the one worth changing for.


4. MY APOLOGIES

What have you been waiting for?
I'm not standing in your way, but you swore,
"It's been a long time coming"
and I'm trying to refrain from using anger
even when you speak his name.

And I'm sorry for the things I've said,
It's just the best way that I know to not let my heart break in vain,
so I'm singin'
what would it take to make you love me?
What do you need to see?
To make you fall for me all over
and give me what I need.

We all fall down..

But who are you to say it's over?
It's my heart that you stole.
You know I've been your dearest friend.
Hell, I've watched you growing up.

We all fall down.

I'm sorry for the things I've said,
It's just the best way that I know to not let my heart break in vain,
so I'm singin'
what would it take to make you love me?
What do you need to see?
To make you fall for me all over
and give me what I need.

And who are you to say that you've had enough?
You know I've been your dearest friend.
Hell, I've watched you growing up.

We all fall down..

But it's the way that you get up that separates you from the rest
so stop giving in, and start living your life.
And start speaking out.
For something more til' you have it.

And I'm sorry for the things I've said,
It's just the best way that I know to not let my heart break in vain,
so I'm singin'
what would it take to make you love me?
What do you need to see?
To make you fall for me all over
and give me what I need.

And who are you to say that you've had enough?
You know I've been your dearest friend.
Hell, I've watched you growing up.

We all fall down..


5. A SPARK TO BELIEVE

Take me away.
It's been so long since I've been where I used to be.
There's always more going on than you can see.
So let it go, I can't remediate this obligation.

Remember?
They said I'd never be anything at all.
But look at me...

If you ever think that I'm too distant to reach, then open your heart.
Ignite the spark to believe.
And I hope you don't waste it, because you only get one.
It's your life so chase it.
One day you'll wake up, it'll be gone.

Because this breath of fresh air is all I need.
There's always others,
I promise they're not me.
I'll let it go.
I'm no one's object of misplaced affection
and I won't ever change.

Remember?
They said I'd never be anything at all.
But look at me...

If you ever think that I'm too distant to reach, then open your heart.
Ignite the spark to believe.
And I hope you don't waste it, because you only get one.
It's your life so chase it.
One day you'll wake up, it'll be gone.

And I won't ever change.

Take me away.
It's been so long since I've been where I used to be.
There's always more going on than you can see...


6. INTERSTATE 44

You know it's not the first time you've been wrong,
I wouldn't have even strung you along
If I thought that you could be
Anything but useless to me.
And I know, I must go,
For the fact that I don't belong.
Now as I'm thinking back,
Things have never been this bad before.

I gave you everything and you just threw it all away.
I left my home and all I know and you forget me.
But you make my heart race and I don't know what to do.
I'm lost in love, I'm lost in love with you.

And this interstate is taking me away
From everything that I'll ever need.
And it's killing me to say it's not the first time you've been wrong
I wouldn't have even strung you along,
If I thought that you could be anything but useless to me.

Oh, this interstate, is taking me away,
From everything, that I'll ever need,
And it's killing me to say
That I'm a mess, there's no denying anymore
There's no denying that.

I gave you everything and you just threw it all away.
I left my home and all I know and you forget me.
But you make my heart race and I don't know what to do.
I'm lost in love, I'm lost in love with you.

And this interstate is taking me away
From everything that I'll ever need.
And it's killing me to say it's not the first time you've been wrong
I wouldn't have even strung you along,
If I thought that you could be anything but useless to me.


7. A LOST CAUSE

All I've wanted is to let go.
I've tried so hard, it's my downfall.
Just this once, I'm on my knees,
and begging you to trust in what you see in me.

So why can't I be honest with you?
I just love the feeling of the wrong things I do.
These vices I crave demand their own way, but I need you so badly,
I beg you to stay.

It's true that you deserve more than you've asked for.
I know that you haven't forgiven me,
so I should stop being selfish and just let you leave.

All I've wanted is to let go.
I've tried so hard, it's my downfall.
Just this once, I'm on my knees,
and begging you to trust in what you see in me.

So what am I supposed to say?
I promised that I'd quit soon, but that didn't mean today.
These vices I crave demand their own way, but I need you so badly,
I beg you to stay.

While it's true that you deserve more than you've asked for,
I know that you haven't forgiven me,
so I should stop being selfish and just let you leave.

Is this what you wanted?
Is this what you need?
Caught up in the wrong things,
they're catching up with me.

Who am I supposed to be?
I tried to be perfect, but I just couldn't succeed.
These vices I crave demand their own way, but I need you so badly,
I beg you to stay.

While it's true that you deserve more than you've asked for,
I know that you haven't forgiven me,
so I should stop being selfish and just let you leave,
but you're slipping away..


8. I'VE GOT A FIVE POINT PLAN

I've been digging my own grave,
and I don't even feel ashamed anymore of this game we play.
I'm not the one you should care for.

You fell victim to all of the things I've put you through,
but before you say your goodbyes,
I must tell you something you cannot deny:

It is time to say that we're not worth it, and it's time to let me learn.
And it's time for me to see through struggle,
guess it's time to show my worth.

Give me a reason;
one good reason why we should carry on.
It's been over for a long time.
Aren't you so glad we're done?
So give me a reason why you'd be so stupid and stay,
when you know you've got the wrong guy.
You know I can't be constrained.

It is time to say that we're not worth it, and it's time to let me learn.
And it's time for me to see through struggle,
guess it's time to show my worth.

Well, You fell victim to all of the things I've put you through,
but before you go your own way,
I must remind you what I came here to say.

I fell short of everything you've asked me to be,
and I'm so honestly afraid that if I make one more mistake,
then you're gonna leave me.
You're going to run away.

You know, it takes time to see the light through darkness
when the wood's too wet to burn,
And it's time for me to see through struggle,
guess it's time to show my worth.

It is time to say that we're not worth it, and it's time to let me learn.
And it's time for me to see through struggle,
guess it's time to show my worth.


9. TAKE THAT SHIT BACK TO BAXTER

Just take me back to the time where everything made sense,
where nothing mattered to me, let's run it back again.
I know you miss those days, when everything was okay,
a time when you and me were meant to be friends.

You know it's true that everything I love is riding on all of this,
and I won't sit by and watch you ruin it again.

We turned our backs on you because you tried to fuck up
everything we'd hope to build.
I won't say I'm sorry, this is what I was made for,
and you're not standing in my way anymore.

Why? How many fucking times have I told you?
You turned a blind eye, so we disowned you.
We didn't even think twice,
we went our separate ways, and now our names are in the lights.

You went and told a sad story about
"how we lied and tried to steal your glory,"
Well, dude, here's some words past due:
You're a joke and our only misfortune was you.

You know it's true that everything I love is riding on all of this,
and as fun as wasting our time must have been,
I can't believe we even considered doing it again.

We turned our backs on you because you tried to fuck up
everything we'd hope to build.
I won't say I'm sorry, this is what I was made for,
and you're not standing in my way anymore.

Why? How many fucking times have I told you?
You turned a blind eye, so we disowned you.
We didn't even think twice,
we went our separate ways, and now our names are in the lights.

You went and told a sad story about
"how we lied and tried to steal your glory."

We turned our backs on you because you tried to fuck up
everything we'd hope to build.
I won't say I'm sorry, this is what I was made for,
and you're not standing in my way anymore.


10. THE DOUBLE THREAT OF DANGER (ACOUSTIC)

Awful things have their own beauty.

Maybe I'm heartless, like I just don't care.
I'm shattering bones with microphones, and you back down
because you're scared. But me? My vision's impaired.
There's no need to run, and there's no more fear.

But now we're at the end of the story, yet, I've never had more to say.
You tried to make everyone hate me, but I'm standing here today,
and everything that you said, it didn't mean a thing.
This is me leaving, and this is you dying.

It's all about the profit, and it's all about the schemes,
and I'm just trying to make a living out of nothing but some dreams.
And I'm so sorry, I just can't leave out this way,
but I'll only let you down if you're expecting me to stay.

I can feel it in my soul, there's a part of me that
you tried to take and run, but I made a scene, aye?
How could you be so fake?
Oh, talk about something that matters,
something, something that battles the emotions and notions everybody's after.
The hell with all your gimmicks,
I'll give you a minute to let it all go.
I'll be in your background,
I'll be singing so loud,
all the fame you've ever wanted, crumbled by your ego.

It's all about the profit, and it's all about the schemes,
and I'm just trying to make a living out of nothing but some dreams.
And I'm so sorry, I just can't leave out this way,
but I'll only let you down if you're expecting me to stay.
