Can we start over by the wreckage your last love left you?
Can you guide me through life lessons from the first woman who loved you?
I know you need to stop to think
Your mind is such a private thing
You couldn't look when you let me in
But here I am
So give me a tour from your head to your heart
I wanna explore, I've come to love every part
I wanna know more
Can I follow you through all the questions that you ponder?
Can you take me to the rug where you swept all your monsters?
I will look but I won't touch
Nothing here is too much
Thank you for choosing me
There's so much to see
On this tour from your head to your heart
I wanna explore, I've come to love every part
I wanna know more
It's so beautiful here
You’re so beautiful
Give me a tour from your head to your heart
I wanna explore, though I've come to love every part
I wanna know more

Your Parachute
04:16
|
|||
|
I've been jumping out of planes since I was three
Nothing to cover or protect me
Nothing in the way of the fall
Risking it all
To feel the breeze
Heart first, dive in
Never one for smooth landings
Never wondered why until now
Cause I see you
I don't wanna blink and miss it
I just wanna stay in it
And keep it safe
I'm falling deep, I'm falling fast
You're falling slow
And I don't know what to do
Soon enough we'll both end up on solid ground
But as for now
Is your parachute big enough for two?
Cause I don't wanna fall so hard for you
You were born right into the drivers seat
Never follow, always lead
And I’ve always thought you were smart
Protecting your heart
But it makes me wanna scream
And you even dream with your helmet on
Maybe my approach is wrong, but I gotta be free
Chorus
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna fall so hard

It Gets Old
04:39

|
Actually, it’s not so bad
Aside from the numbness you’ve always had
You couldn’t tell, ‘cause you were blind
But I watched your heart break a thousand times
Now you’re someplace new, but those bad habits stayed
So you naturally try to get loved or get laid
But it gets old so fast
You tie your past to a tree
So it can’t bother you
So it can’t make you see
It gets old
Halloween, your favorite day
You can wear your mask now, it’s okay
Some rowdy guys invite you in
They’ll stay with you ‘cause you’re showing skin
You know you’re about to forget the whole night
And you’re toasting to friendship just to be polite
But it gets old so fast
Swallow the last of your drink
So it won’t bother you
So you don’t have to think
It gets old
Any day now, you’ll find a way out
Actually, it’s not that bad at all
When you ignore the floor when you fall
With your face down, you gasp for air
Then you realize nobody really cares
It all gets old so fast
You tie your past to a tree
So it can’t bother you, so…
It gets old so fast
You tie your past to a tree
So it can’t bother you
So it can let you be
It gets old

Green With

She comes right in
Without even knocking on the door
She comes right in
and makes herself at home
I play keep away, if she gets to me
Who knows what I’ll be-
come right in, uninvited
She’s everywhere
Making noise at night so I can’t sleep
She doesn’t care
That I want her to leave
She puts me down
And down and down until I’m face first on rock bottom
Then sticks around, uninvited
When she is on my mind, her power grows
I can’t see through my own eyes, and she knows
My reflection’s the same, but I don’t know who I am
And that’s her plan
She waits for me
At the table with an empty plate
Expectantly welcomes me in
I can’t help it, I feed her now
If this is her home, I should just accept it
I’ll let her win, I decided
Chorus
When she comes right in
I’m green with…
Envy is on my mind, she comes and goes
When I see through her green eyes, they won’t close
She’s my reflection somedays
But I just pay her no mind
She’ll go away with time

How Little I Know
04:59
|
|||
|
I gave him two keys in case he lost one
I gave him my word, I've been all in since day one
No doubt of my intentions, no, my heart isn’t shy
From scribbled love notes to cursive in the sky
He is never on time, but I’m glad that I waited
He is wise in his ways, and yet, understated
Like music, his love is measured by the space
But silence, to me, feels like running in place
He says he loves me…
But only shows it half the time
I'd never let love flicker
If the choice were only mine
I'd turn the flame up quicker
But there he is surrendering
To what he can't control
And now he's being cool
He's going with the flow
How little I know
When he can't make up his mind, he disappears for days
And all that he leaves behind is a mysterious haze
I guess hibernation isn't just for the bears
Once in a blue moon should be enough to know he cares
Proof that he loves me
But then he's in the wind
First sign of stormy weather
And I'm in the dark again
Tryin' to pull myself together
He knows who he is
And where he wants to go
Me, I'm more concerned
With what I need than what I owe
How little I know
I could feel his goodbye before over was spoken
Still I can’t talk myself out of being heartbroken
There was always the chance that I would end up getting burned
But one drop of pain is two drops lesson learned
He said he loved me…
So, if ignorance is bliss
This is heaven I suppose
Cause I don't understand,
And that's the way it goes
