Fall Off the Earth 03:13

Verse 1 Where do we go, where do we go from here We’ve hit the coast, the roads have disappeared Time is moving fast, and we can’t take it back Where do we go, go from here? Against the waves we’ve got each other Under the stars, in a sea of wonder Time is moving fast, and we can’t take it back Where do we go, go from here? Chorus If we keep running we might fall off the earth If we do nothing then we might never learn What’s on the other side Baby we gotta try Even if we fall off the earth Verse 2 Tell me your secrets, won’t you tell me is there more Than an endless sequence, is there an ocean unexplored? Time is moving fast, and we can’t take it back Where do we go, go from here? Chorus If we keep running we might fall off the earth If we do nothing then we might never learn What’s on the other side Baby we gotta try Even if we fall off the earth Bridge If we fall off we will fall together If we fall off we will fall together If we fall off we will fall together If we fall off we will fall together Chorus If we keep running we might fall off the earth If we do nothing then we might never learn What’s on the other side Baby we gotta try Even if we fall off the earth If we keep running If we do nothing What’s on the other side Baby we gotta try Even if we fall off the earth

Verse 1 I come in on Saturdays You know my order, I know your face And I try to get past this same hello But instead I thank you and walk away 
Sometimes I think too much About the way that things could end up I dream a whole scenario Before I can finish my coffee cup Before I can finish my coffee cup Chorus I’ve been waiting You’re so captivating And I’ve been so afraid that I won’t play it cool And I keep thinking These things never work but You just might be worth it The exception to the rule For you I’d be a fool Verse 2 I’d pick you up at eight Knowing both of our hearts might break But your eyes would light up as you share with me All the things that you’d like to be All the things that you’d like to be Chorus I’ve been waiting You’re so captivating And I’ve been so afraid that I won’t play it cool And I keep thinking These things never work but You just might be worth it The exception to the rule For you I’d be a fool Bridge You call my name, I start walking up I can feel my heart way down in my gut “Hello” won’t ever be enough So I’ve got something to say Final Chorus You’re so captivating I’ve been so afraid but I won’t play it cool I keep thinking These things never work but You just might be worth it The exception to the rule For you I’d be a fool Outro I’d be a fool for you, I’d be a fool for you I’d be a fool for you, I’d be a fool for you I’d be a fool for you, I’d be a fool for you

Verse 1 Are you afraid? Can you see the ground below? Do you feel crazy, Climbing up without a rope? Did you think you’d come this far? Did you think you’d come this far? Chorus It’ll break you down and build you up Leave you feeling high Give you guts to reach the top Make you feel like you’re gonna die Cost everything you ever knew No love’s not safe, but it’s good Verse 2 Are you distressed? With your heartbeat beating right out your chest You'd say "I love you,” but you’re worried 'bout what's coming next Did you think you come this far? Chorus It’ll break you down and build you up Leave you feeling high Give you guts to take the drop Make you feel like you’re gonna die Cost everything you ever knew No love’s not safe, but it’s good It’ll break you down and build you up Leave you feeling high Give you guts to take the drop Make you feel like you’re gonna die Cost everything you ever knew No love’s not safe, but it’s good

Forgot 06:42

Verse 1 I remember when we traded sleep for talks You confessed your dreams while lying/we laid on the dock Baby, Baby, I knew all your thoughts Minutes slipped to hours as we whispered in the dark Your voice a melody where I could rest my heart But lately, lately, I think I forgot Chorus Forgot that Love is the prize Forgot that Love needs our time Verse 2 The glow of our screens has now replaced the stars Troubles cloud my mind, the silence lasts for hours Baby, Baby, I think we forgot Chorus Forgot that Love is the prize Forgot that Love needs our time Bridge Have you felt it, have you felt it too Do you miss me like I miss you ‘Cause oh, I’m desperate to change it Oh, let’s rearrange our lives Baby, I’m so sorry that I forgot Chorus Forgot that Love is the prize Forgot that Love needs our time Forgot that Love is the prize Forgot that Love needs our time

Verse 1 Last night in my dream I saw swaying trees Standing tall, standing in the sun And the wind blew through the leaves Like it was whispering “Do not fear, I know you want to run” Chorus Oooooo I know that I am not the only one I saw a submarine Laying in a stream For many days trapped there in the mud I think you’d agree That it should be out at sea But it’s laying where it was never meant to come Bridge Well I’ve been down, I’ve been picked up And I’ve wondered if I am enough Or if I’m chasing something I will never see I have pushed and I have shoved To make the life I’ve been dreaming of But I keep learning there’s no guarantees I have felt the deepest cuts And I didn’t know they could hurt so much But they’ve shaped the man that I’ve turned out to be I’ve been lost but I’ve been loved And so I’ve set my eyes on God above The other things don’t seem to matter when you’re free Chorus Oooooo I know that I am not the only one Outro I saw a submarine Diving in the sea

Verse 1 Baby, I’d go with you to the ends of the earth I think there’s room for two in this great back adventure Wanna wake up next to you You can wake up next to me Sounds good No I’m not fooling when I say to you Chorus For better or for worse, I’m in I’m staying through thick and through thin Under gray skies and in the sunshine I’m going with you no matter what For better or for worse, I’m here Not gonna disappear Through the hard falls and when you stand tall I’m going with you no matter what For better or for worse Verse 2 Let’s jump on an airplane and head to some foreign land Awkwardly dance the night away with a mariachi band I wanna stay young with you And you can stay young with me Sounds good No I’m not fooling with I say to you Chorus For better or for worse, I’m in I’m staying through thick and through thin Under gray skies and in the sunshine I’m going with you no matter what For better or for worse, I’m here Not gonna disappear Through the hard falls and when you stand tall I’m going with you no matter what For better or for worse Bridge Baby, let me be your home There’s no need to live this life alone Doesn’t matter where we go Let’s write a story of our own No I’m not fooling, when I say to you Chorus For better or for worse, I’m in I’m staying through thick and through thin Under gray skies and in the sunshine I’m going with you no matter what For better or for worse, I’m here Not gonna disappear Through the hard falls and when you stand tall I’m going with you no matter what For better or for worse

Verse 1 Lay down your weary head Let your tired bones take rest Close your eyes, and we will fly We’ll fly 
Just a few more weeks to go ’Til the end of the bitter cold If you close your eyes, you’ll see sunshine Sunshine Chorus When the night gets too much to take When the clouds don’t want to break Know that I am not that far away I’m not that far away Verse 2 Sweetest melody Sing and it sets you free Close your eyes and it hits just right Just right Chorus When the night gets too much to take When the clouds don’t want to break Know that I am not that far away I’m not that far away Outro verse Lay down your weary head Let your tired bones take rest Close your eyes, and we will fly We’ll fly

Verse 1 When you wonder if what you do matters And if anyone sees When you’re feeling like hope’s been shattered And you don’t know who to be Chorus Well don’t worry, Love I’ll be right here When you need love I volunteer Verse 2 When I rest my hand on your shoulder But you won’t look at me If you need to sit in silence And breathe, breathe, breathe Chorus Well don’t worry, Love I’ll be right here When you need love I volunteer Bridge I give you my word I won’t let you fall When you have nothing to give Nothing, no nothing at all You’ll find your way
I know who you are And I’ll walk with you there No matter, no matter, no matter how far Chorus Just don’t worry, Love I’ll be right here When you need love I volunteer Just don’t worry, Love I’ll be right here When you need love I volunteer I volunteer

What You Need 04:12

Verse 1 I wish I knew what you’re thinking That I could read your mind Then I’d have no problem solving The mystery behind those blue eyes It’s Friday again, another week passes by And now summer is nearly over I thought surely by now we could’ve figured this out But you don’t always get what you want Chorus Is this really what you need? Is this how you want things to be? Verse 2 I wish you knew what I’m feeling That you’d really know my life Surely that’d make this easier You wouldn’t be surprised ‘Cause you’d feel my heart skip a beat Every time that I spot you across the room We wave and we smile, even chat for awhile But you’d know all I wanna say to you is: Chorus Is this really what you need? Is this how you want things to be? Is this really what you need? Is this how you want things to be? Bridge Is this what you wanted? Or are you just running? I don’t know, I could be wrong What does it mean when you’re still lingering Like you don’t really wanna leave Chorus Is this really what you need? Is this how you want things to be? Is this really what you need? Is this how you want things to be? Is this really what you need

Verse 1 Put your heart on the line
Took a fall, now you’re trying To forget it On repeat in your head
Thought he meant what he said But he didn’t Chorus Round and around we go Where we’ll stop no one knows Throw the dice, watch them roll We could fall, we could fly Take a risk, do or die At least we’re living Verse 2 Pack your bags, say goodbye To your ordinary life Now you’re praying That the steps that you take Every dream that you chase Is worth chasing Chorus Round and around we go Where we’ll stop no one knows Throw the dice, watch them roll We could fall, we could fly Take a risk, do or die At least we’re living Bridge Don’t let your fear forget your faith Don’t let what’s lost replace what’s gained Love comes with cost, but that’s okay Chorus Round and around we go Where we’ll stop no one knows Throw the dice, watch them roll We could fall, we could fly Take a risk, do or die At least we’re living

Playing to the Wall 03:09

Verse 1 How many times have I heard no? “You’re too old, too young, too slow” Waiting on replies that don’t come Try to let all my cares go Still feels like I’m at a dead-end road Laying face down, banging my head ‘gainst a wall Chorus Well I’m here, playing to the wall I didn’t come this far just to turn around And I know something’s gonna give And I’m not moving ’til I see it crumble down Verse 2 How many times can I sing this song When they say, “the notes are wrong” But I know someone’s hearing what I hear So I’ll give it all I’ve got Even if an echo’s my only applause Imagine the crowds just standing and staring in awe Chorus So I’m here, playing to the wall I didn’t come this far just to turn around And I know something’s gonna give And I’m not moving ’til I see it crumble down Bridge The other side might not be such a mystery I’ll keep making strides while nobody is listening I will call this day a victory A victory Chorus I’m still here I didn’t come this far just to turn around And I know something’s gonna give And I’m not moving ’til I see it crumble down So I’m here, playing to the wall I didn’t come this far just to turn around And I know something’s gonna give And I’m not moving ’til I see it crumble down Outro How many times can I sing this song When they say, “the notes are wrong” But I know someone’s hearing what I hear
