1. DOUBLE CROSS

While you're watching from the window waiting
I've been spilling my guts out on the stage
I spent the best years of my life
Drinking myself to sleep at night
And now the glory days have all but faded
And everyone I used to know is jaded
Where is the passion that you used to have
When music was the only thing that you had?

All my pictures have faded over time
I burnt the negatives of you
What have I got here left to prove?
Cause all I got, all I really got, is this music that's left in me
And all I want, all I really want, is a, a reason to believe

Some day I know that I'll be fading
Everyone I used to know is getting
Afraid, afraid, afraid of getting older
And every heart I love grows colder
I love when time slips by
I'm not afraid to die
Remember the passion that you used to have
When music was the only thing that you had

This still is the only thing that, that is worth my breath
This still is the only thing that, that is worth my breath

All my pictures have faded over time
I burnt the negatives of you
What have I got here left to prove?
Cause all I got, all I really got, is this music that's left in me
And all I want, all I really want, is a, a reason to believe

I've been trying so hard to make the best of my time
Instead of waiting around hoping that someday I'll find
All the things that I need and all the love that I get
Wasted till all the days become numb again

All my pictures have faded over time
I burnt the negatives of you

All my pictures have faded over time
I burnt the negatives of you
What have I got here left to prove?
Cause all I got, all I really got, is this music that's left in me
And all I want, all I really want, is a, a reason to believe


2. ELEVATOR TO THE GALLOWS

In everything I've ever done, I've never been the one
It's never been easy, it's always been a struggle for me
"I hope that when I'm gone, my love will live in song"
Don't try to rescue me when I'm swinging from the attic beam

What a time to be alive
But I'd be fine if it was my last night

God, I pray for the endless motion
To take me out of my misery
The only thing that I need tonight
Is you right here by my side

And ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die

I can't keep going on singing a one note song
How can I give up when I'm the only person that she needs?
My sweet Penelope, I'm sorry but I had to leave
I'm just not strong enough to be there for the both of us

What a time to be alive
But I'd be fine if it was my last night

God, I pray for the endless motion
To take me out of my misery

And ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die

Cause ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die

I would rather die than be without my love
I'd rather die than be without my love
I would rather die than be without, without my love

And ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die

Cause ever since you left me
This pain inside hasn't gone away
And I just don't think it ever will
Your eyes will haunt me until the day I die


3. NEW JERSEY MAKES, THE WORLD TAKES

How's the weather in New Jersey?
I bet it's cold and grey
I heard you've been drinking, don't lie to me
I don't want to bury you
This winter, it's too soon
Don't make me come back home from LA

'Cause I've lost so many
To the bottle, to the needle
I can't take another funeral

I'm not giving up today, no
Everyone I love, everyone I love is still in pain
I'm not giving up today, no
Everyone I love, everyone I love needs to be saved

The sky at dawn it seems
So calm and promising
I can't believe that you're still breathing
Don't you want to believe
That this life it means something?
No one can save you but yourself this time

I'm not giving up today, no
Everyone I love, everyone I love is still in pain
I'm not giving up today, no
Everyone I love, everyone I love needs to be saved

I found myself in a place where all my days were numbered
I overcame all my demons and I know that you can too
You can too
What have you got to lose?

I'm not giving up today, no
Everyone I love, everyone I love is still in pain
I'm not giving up today, no
Everyone I love, everyone I love needs to be saved


4. GOLD JACKET, GREEN JACKET...

Each day it gets a little worse
Trying so hard to follow my dreams
You know I need life insurance but I can barely pay my rent
I'm a millennial son of a bitch
I'd rather die poor than give in
I'm not lazy, I just don't give a shit about material things

So take a pill to make you smile
And go buy shit you don't need
Cause don't you know that Jesus Christ loves America?
That's why we're always winning
And don't forget to lock your door
And board up the windowpanes
Cause you got to defend yourself
From anyone who doesn't think the same

Fuck yeah, I've always been anxious
Cause I've always been in debt
And when I was eighteen two planes flew into a fucking building
And we've been at war ever since
We destroyed the environment
Fuck the government, it's an embarrassment
We're all going to die in debt

So take a pill to make you smile
And go buy shit you don't need
Cause don't you know that Jesus Christ loves America?
That's why we're always winning
And don't forget to lock your door
And board up the windowpanes
Cause you got to defend yourself
From anyone who doesn't think the same

Forget everything they tell you that you need
It's all in your head, it's all in your heart
Forget everything they tell you that you need
It's all in your head, it's all in your heart
Forget everything they tell you that you need
It's all in your head, it's all in your heart

So take a pill to make you smile
And go buy shit you don't need
Cause don't you know that Jesus Christ loves America?
That's why we're always winning
And don't forget to lock your door
And board up the windowpanes
Cause you got to defend yourself
From anyone who doesn't think the same
(You fucking idiots)


5. FIRST BREATH, LAST BREATH

I watched you bleed out, I watched your lungs cave
I saw the worst thing that I've ever seen as I watched you slip away from me
And our daughter's first breath is
The last one you will ever take and I don't think I can make it on my own

"Remember they said you'd have to sacrifice" I know
But I was not prepared to watch the life drain from your soul
I have never felt so crushed, the sadness buried in my bones
How the hell am I supposed to raise a daughter on my own?

I turned to stone when I look in your eyes
I lost the only reason that I'm alive
I don't know if any words will do
All that I know is I'm so in love with you

There was nothing that they could do
After three days of labor it's a miracle that anyone survived
I'm alive
But I'm dead inside and I'm supposed to raise a child with a smile now?

I used to wonder why people put bullets in their brains
Now it seems like the only way to stop this pain
How the fuck am I supposed to wake up every day
And pretend that I love her as much as I miss your face?

I turned to stone when I look in your eyes
I lost the only reason that I'm alive
I don't know if any words will do
All that I know is I'm so in love with you

I watched you bleed out, I watched your lungs cave
I watched you slip away from me and I don't think that I'll ever be okay


6. ANCIENT GODS

I used to be afraid to sleep out underneath the stars
But now I embrace the loneliness of ancient Gods
Lord knows I know what it's like to lack a purpose
I've waited everyday hoping for a moment

Everyone I love is always far away from me
(Can't you see)
Everyone I love is always far away from me

I fell into your arms and I fell into your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never going to make it out of here alive
Goddamn the oceans that spread between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I better runaway if I want to survive

I used to be afraid to walk alone out in the dark
Now I embrace the emptiness that's in my heart
Heaven knows I'm waiting for death to come and take me
I'd rather be with you than alone with those who made me

Everyone I love is always far away from me
(Can't you see)
Everyone I love is always far away from me

I fell into your arms and I fell into your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never going to make it out of here alive
Goddamn the oceans that spread between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I better runaway if I want to survive

I don't need anyone to tell me
You're the only thing I have left
Everyone in my life has faded
Please tell me this isn't it
Everyone in my life has left me
Everyday is another test
To see if I can take this stress
Without it driving me to drink

Because I'd rather find another way

I fell into your arms and I fell into your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never going to make it out of here alive
Goddamn the oceans that spread between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I better runaway if I want to survive

I fell into your arms and I fell into your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never going to make it out of here alive


7. IS IT GONNA BE THE YEAR?

I didn't go to college, and I don't own a house
I guess that I'm a failure and I fucked up somehow
I've just been screaming into a microphone away from home
When everyone I know gave up a long time ago
What else am I supposed to do with my life?
All that I've ever known are late night drives
From Salt Lake City to Seattle to San Fran
I hope I die in the back of a fucking van

I wear my heart on my sleeve
I know not everyone believes in me
And what will I be remembered for?
These are questions that I just can't ignore

Is it gonna be the year that kills me
Or is it gonna be the one that saves me?
Cause right now I'm suffocating
I don't know if I will make it
This year feels like hell
I'm pretty sure I'm not doing so well
Is it gonna be the year that kills me
Or is it gonna be the one that sets me free?

When I was younger I was a mess I must admit
I said and did a lot of stupid and selfish things
I never thought that it would last this long
And neither did the others that's why they're all gone

When is it time to give it up
And how long is long enough
And when should I throw it in
Cause I don't want to be a washed up old man

Is it gonna be the year that kills me
Or is it gonna be the one that saves me?
Cause right now I'm suffocating
I don't know if I will make it
This year feels like hell
I'm pretty sure I'm not doing so well
Is it gonna be the year that kills me
Or is it gonna be the one that sets me free?

Is it gonna be the year that kills me
Or is it gonna be the one that saves me?
Cause right now I'm suffocating
I don't know if I will make it
Is it gonna be the year that kills me
Or is it gonna be the one that saves me?
Cause right now I'm suffocating
I don't know if I will make it
This year feels like hell
I'm pretty sure I'm not doing so well
Is it gonna be the year that kills me
Or is it gonna be the one that sets me free?


8. YOU GET SO ALONE AT TIMES THAT IT JUST MAKES SENSE

I used to want to kill myself, I used to want to die
I used to drink myself to sleep at night
And I would pray to Jesus Christ
"Just take me tonight"

I used to want to blow my brains out in a crowded room
I used to want to drown myself in every
Swimming pool that I would see
I used to blame everyone else but me
Cause I was so fucked up

Into the darkest night I'll take you by my side
Into the summer sun we won't just come undone
All my life, all my life I've waited to kiss your perfect face
Into the darkest night I'll take you by my side

I love the way you wear those ribbons in your hair
And have I told you yet that you saved me
From the despair that was choking me
I'm so thankful that I get to breathe

I love the way that you don't give a fuck
What anyone thinks
And I'm trying so hard to think like that
But I'm a singer in a fucking band
And I'm still neurotic as shit

Into the darkest night I'll take you by my side
Into the summer sun we won't just come undone
All my life, all my life I've waited to kiss your perfect face
Into the darkest night I'll take you by my side

My love for you will never die until the flesh rots off my bones
And I am smashed into a million flakes of dust
I won't lie, I won't lie, I won't lie
This could save your life
I'm so afraid that everything that's wrong with me
Will become part of you and you will never see
I won't lie, I won't lie, I won't lie
This could save my life

My love for you will never die
My love for you will never die
My love for you will never die
My love for you will never die

Into the darkest night I'll take you by my side
Into the summer sun we won't just come undone
All my life, all my life I've waited to kiss your perfect face
Into the darkest night I'll take you by my side

I won't lie, I won't lie, I won't lie


9. ORLANDO AND A MISCARRIAGE

Dear saint, you're safe with me
Cause I will take your sin and smash it into my skin
And I'll rip out all my teeth
And I'd cut off my tongue just to save your life
Cause I would do anything for you, the apple of my eye

I just want to watch your eyelids open every day

Crashing into earth I can barely breathe
All the love I had for you was never meant to be
I lost you before you were born
Crashing into earth tonight
Losing all control of life

I don't ever want to deal with death
It's always spinning in the back of my head
I wish I could see your face
But life, I guess, had other plans
Maybe you'll be born again
To someone I've never met
I still don't believe in God
But there's a part of me that won't forget

Crashing into earth I can barely breathe
All the love I had for you was never meant to be
I lost you before you were born
Crashing into earth tonight
Losing all control of life

I don't ever want to deal with death
It's always spinning in the back of my head
I wish I could see your face
But life, I guess, had other plans


10. SHAKING HANDS

I will hold your hand until this hospital bed becomes a coffin for us
And I will jump right in and I will be buried with you while I'm still breathing

If all the world is just a stage
Then I would like to die beneath the beams

I can finally breathe
I don't feel this emptiness anymore
This heart that once was broken is
All that I have left to give
We cannot stop this ship from sinking
We cannot stop our shaking hands
Hold onto the only love you have
Cause you're nothing on your own

Love can make you weak
It can steal the bones from underneath your feet

If all the world is just a stage
Then you must be the blood that's in my veins

I can finally breathe
I don't feel this emptiness anymore
This heart that once was broken is
All that I have left to give
We cannot stop this ship from sinking
We cannot stop our shaking hands
Hold onto the only love you have
Cause you're nothing on your own

You're slipping away
And now I'm so afraid
That this is the end
Of all that we have been
You're slipping away
And now I feel the pain

If all the world is just a stage
Then I would like to die in your embrace

I can finally breathe
I don't feel this emptiness anymore
This heart that once was broken is
All that I have left to give
We cannot stop this ship from sinking
We cannot stop our shaking hands
Hold onto the only love you have
Cause you're nothing on your own


11. STAY WHAT YOU ARE

All the maps of the world have been drawn
There's nothing to explore except your face
I keep getting older
But my heart stays the same age
I'd never want to live forever
Cause I'd have to watch everyone die
Death is what makes this whole life
Meaningful, it's what keeps me alive

I'm scared to death that I
Will never make it out alive
And I'll be stuck in this mess forever

The older that I get the more I find
That each moment is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves the Day
You never made it home, you spent the night with me
When I was young it was a mystery
It took me years but now I finally see
What it is that you meant to me
"Stay What You Are" will always be our eulogy

When it rains in LA people lose their shit
Just like I lost my mind in 2006
That anxious boy has been
Buried in a shallow ditch
One day when I'm rotting in my grave
I'll look back on my life and I will say
"Why the hell did it take me so long
To back that bottle off of my lips?"

Am I wasting all my time
Trying hard to find the line
Between holding on and letting go?

The older that I get the more I find
That each moment is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves The Day
You never made it home, you spent the night with me
When I was young it was a mystery
It took me years but now I finally see
What it is that you meant to me
"Stay What You Are" will always be our eulogy

I remember when you whispered in my ear
"Do not fear when I am gone I'll be right here"
When all the world is wasting away
I'll hold my heart and say your name

The older that I get the more I find
That each moment is a gift in time
The first time we saw Saves The Day
You never made it home, you spent the night with me
When I was young it was a mystery
It took me years but now I finally see
What it is that you meant to me
"Stay What You Are" will always be our eulogy

Am I wasting all my time
Trying hard to find the line
Between holding on and letting go?


12. IF THERE IS LIGHT, IT WILL FIND YOU

How am I supposed to raise you
When I'm so afraid
Of all that I can pass down?
It won't be just my name
I tried so hard to imagine a place
With tears streaming down from my face
A father meant nothing to me
But I hope I mean something to you

Grab my hand, hold it tight, let the water take us tonight
Grab my hand, hold it tight, let the water take us tonight

How am I supposed to move
On when I'm so afraid
Of the loneliness that I feel
When the sun sets on your grave?
I guess the best thing I can do with my time
Is love every minute of life
When the fact is I'd rather curl up and die
I can't breathe if you're not alive

Grab my hand, hold it tight, let the water take us tonight
Grab my hand, hold it tight, let the water take us tonight
Grab my hand, hold it tight, let the water take us tonight
Grab my hand, hold it tight, let the water take us tonight

How do I forget you?
If there is light, I hope it finds you
How can I forget you?
How can I forget you?
If there is light, I hope it finds you
If there is light, I hope it finds you

My heart will break over spilling your blood
I'm lonely as death and I want to give up
Cause I can't keep breathing this pain in my lungs
I'll never forget our love, I'll never forget our love

If there is light, I hope it finds you
If there is light, I hope it finds you
If there is love, I hope it finds you
Let the good deep inside you
Let your love be the thing that defines you

If there is light it'll find you, don't be afraid

And we all lose someone who we would die for
How do we pick ourselves off the floor and
Face each day as if we're not dying alone?
We've got to love ourselves, that's how we respect our dead

How do I forget you
If there is light, I hope it finds you
How can I forget you
How can I forget you
If there is light, I hope it finds you
If there is light, I hope it finds you

My heart will break over spilling your blood
I'm lonely as death and I want to give up
Cause I can't keep breathing this pain in my lungs
I'll never forget our love, I'll never forget our love

If there is light it'll find you
If there is light it'll find you, don't be afraid
