Long night, wake up Tears in your makeup Cry in the kitchen Quiet conviction Say that you're leaving Think you don't need me Well, that's probably true but I still need you 'cause I'm a mess these days No, you don't have to stay Just take me with you when you go, go, go I know the things I said before, oh no Don't let it come between us Just hold on to the feeling When the distance starts to grow, grow, grow Just take me with you when you go Six weeks, six months I forget how long I kept you waiting Testing your patience Our hearts don't break They just rearrange Cover the bruises Try to get through this, but I'm a mess these days No, you don't have to stay Just take me with you when you go, go, go I know the things I said before, oh no Don't let it come between us Just hold on to the feeling When the distance starts to grow, grow, grow Just take me with you when you go Deep down in your soul It's hard to be alone And I'm I know, sometimes Just take me with you when you go, go, go I know the things I said before, oh no Don't let it come between us Just hold on to the feeling When the distance starts to grow, grow, grow Just take me with you when you go

And I need my cigarettes, when I write your novelettes It's the same thing every time, pine and pray for your six-nine And I need one single truth cashin in your kissing booth It's the same thing anyway Dream and doubt the day away today Everybody knows it's you Everybody blows it too Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah It's comin on strong Hypnotizing me this long So long baby, yes i'm gone (verse 2) Could you be my wonder drug? could I be the one you dug? It's the same trip anytime, I can't see your sweet sublime And I need more cigarettes to fill up my confidence But it never really helps at all, you're still perfect on my wall

Follow your heart and see where it might take you Don't let the world outside there break you They know not who you are inside They have never felt your hell Don't ever let them crack Hold out, I know you feel it getting cold out Without the blanket for your soul now Before you know it you'll be frozen You have to see this through There's no one here but you I feel the rain coming down It reminds me of who I used to be But now that's nothing more Than a memory Don't go, to sleep and cry because tomorrow If you let it it will swallow You up and none of this will matter Will matter anymore I feel the rain coming down It reminds me of who I used to be But now that's nothing more Than a memory I feel the rain coming down It reminds me of who I used to be But now that's nothing more Oh, now that's nothing more Than a memory Follow your heart and see where it might take you Don't let the world outside there break you They know not who you are inside They have never felt your hell Don't ever let them crack Your shell

Dreams, I have dreams When I'm awake, when I'm asleep And you, you are in my dreams You're underneath my skin, how am I so weak? And now, in my dreams I can feel the wait, I could just come clean I keep it to myself, I know what it means I can't have you but I have dreams How long can you hold your breath? Can you count to ten, can you let it pass? And keep, can you keep it in? And keep it behind lashes, can you make it last? And now, in my dreams I can feel the way, I could just come clean I keep it to myself, I know what it means I can't have you but I have dreams And I have dreams, I have dreams, woo Mind, can you read my mind? Has it come undone, am I showin' signs? And now in my dreams I can feel the wait, I could just come clean I keep it to myself, I know what it means I can't have you but I have dreams And I have dreams, I have, I have, I have dreams

I'm like the rain in a downpour I wash away what you long for And I wave goodbye with the sun in my eyes But I wish I could be there tonight I'm like the wind in the canyon I'm there then I'm gone in a second And you're growing older in peace where you're at I wish I could be there for that But I've moved on Like a rolling stone In a crowded room I'm alone And I'm like the rain in a downpour And I wash away what you long for Oh I wave goodbye with the sun in my eyes I wish I could be there tonight Oh, oh, yeah You're like the tide in the deep blue 'Cause you're always there when I need you And when you need someone to carry you through I'm gonna be there for you I'm gonna be there for you

I don't hang around that place no more I'm tired of wearing circles in the floor And I don't carry myself very well I've gotten so much braver, can you tell? I'm happy, can't you see I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee And I line my secrets up all one by one I put 'em all away when I was done And I would really love to hear your voice sometime To close a little distance in my mind I'm happy, can't you see I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee I believe Where have you been all these years? How could you just disappear? And when did you stop missing me? I'm happy, can't you see I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee I'm alright, but I miss you, Amber Lee

When I'm blowin' out the candles And when people start to sing I will always cross my fingers tight I remember everything But I always make my wishes For the same thing everytime If I live to be 100 If I ever get it right My mind is racing with thoughts And the songs that never end And I prayed to God last night Just before I went to bed Even now I can't remember A single word He said If I live to be 100 If I get it through my head I always think about you And I have to close my eyes If I live to be 100 Will I ever cross your mind? When you close your eyes at night And you rise above your life Do you notice there's an empty space Where I wasn't by your side? Because I always dream about you Every time I close my eyes If I live to be 100 Will I ever cross your mind? I always make my wishes For same thing every time If I live to be 100 Will I ever cross your mind?
