say (all i need)

Do you know where your heart is?Do you think you can find it?Or did you trade it for something, somewhere, better just to have it?Do you know where your love is? Do you think that you lost it?You felt it so strong, but nothing’s turned out how you want it

Well, bless my soulYou’re a lonely soul‘Cause you won’t let go of anything you hold“Well, all I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head”

Do you know what your fate is?Are you trying to shake it?You’re doing your best dance, your best lookYou’re praying that you’ll make it

Well, bless my soulYou’re a lonely soul ‘Cause you won’t let go of anything you hold“Well, all I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head(Say) All I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head”

Do you think you can find it?Do you think you can find it?Do you think you can find it better than you had it?

Do you think you can find it?Do you think you can find it?Do you think you can find it better than you had it?

“(Say) All I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head(Say) All I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head”

Do you know where the end is?Do you think you can see it?Well, until you get there, go on, go ahead and scream itJust say….

mercy

Angel of mercy, how did you find me?Where did you read my story?Pulled from the papers, desperate and hardenedSeeking a momentary fixAll I wanted to say, all I wanted to do, has fallen apart nowAll I wanted to feel, I wanted to love, it’s all my fault nowA tragedy, I fear

Angel of mercy, how did you find me?How did you pick me up again?Angel of mercy, how did you move me?Why am I on my feet again? And I see youWoah Woah, Wo-aahAnd I feel you Woah Woah, Wo-aah

Fortress of daylight, caught me on standbyWaiting to catch the quickest planeFly me to nowhere, it’s better than somewhereThat’s where I’ve been and nothing’s changedAll I wanted to say, all I wanted to do, has fallen apart nowAll I wanted to feel, I wanted to love, it’s all my fault nowA tragedy for sure

Angel of mercy, how did you find me?How did you pick me up again?Angel of mercy, how did you move me?Why am I on my feet again?And I see youWoah Woah, Wo-aahAnd I feel you Woah Woah, Wo-aahAnd I feel you Woah Woah, Wo-aah

A tragedy, seemed to be, but what now?A tragedy, it seemed to be, but what now?

Angel of mercy, how did you find me?How did you pick me up again?Angel of mercy, how did you move me?Why am I on my feet again?And I see youWoah Woah, Wo-aahAnd I feel you Woah Woah, Wo-aah…

stop and stare

This town is colder nowI think it’s sick of us It’s time to make our move I’m shakin’ off the rust I’ve got my heart set on anywhere but here I’m staring down myself, counting up the years Steady hands just take the wheel Every glance is killing me Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead

Stop and stareI think I’m moving, but I go nowhereYeah, I know that everyone gets scaredBut I’ve become what I can’t beStop and stareYou start to wonder why you’re here not there And you’d give anything to get what’s fair But fair ain’t what you really need Oh, can you see what I see

They’re tryin’ to come back, all my senses push Untie the weight bags I never thought I could Steady feet don’t fail me now, I’m gonna run till you can’t walk But something pulls my focus out, and I’m standing down

Stop and stareI think I’m moving, but I go nowhereYeah, I know that everyone gets scaredBut I’ve become what I can’t beStop and stareYou start to wonder why you’re here not there And you’d give anything to get what’s fair But fair ain’t what you really need Oh, you don’t need

Stop and stareI think I’m moving, but I go nowhereYeah, I know that everyone gets scaredBut I’ve become what I can’t beOh, do you see what I see

apologize

I’m holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground And I’m hearing what you say, but I just can’t make a sound You tell me that you need me, then you go and cut me down, but wait You tell me that you’re sorry, didn’t think I’d turn around, and say (that)

“It’s too late to apologize (it’s too late)”I said, “It’s too late to apologize (it’s too late)”

I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for youAnd I need you like a heart needs a beat, but it’s nothin’ new (yeah)I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue, and you say “Sorry” like the angel heaven let me think was you, but I’m afraid...

“It’s too late to apologize (it’s too late)”I said, “It’s too late to apologize (it’s too late)”

“It’s too late to apologize (it’s too late)”I said, “It’s too late to apologize (it’s too late)”I said, “It’s too late to apologize,” yeah (too late)I said, “It’s too late to apologize,” yeah (too late)

I’m holdin’ on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground

goodbye, apathy

I can’t sleep, no, not like I used toI can’t breathe in and out like I need toIt’s breaking ice, now, to make any movementWhat’s your vice? You know that mine’s the illusionAnd all at once (as I’m trying) I can help you out (just to keep things right)I’ll be what you need (I kill myself to make everything perfect for you)I’ll do anythingGoodbye, apathy So long, apathy

So don’t sit still, but don’t you move away from hereSo goodbye, apathy (as I’m trying)So long, fancy free (just to keep things right)Goodbye, apathy (I kill myself to make everything perfect for you)I don’t wanna be you

I don’t walk right, not like I used toThere’s a jump in my step as I rush to see youI could be happy here as long as you’re near to meAs long as you’re close to meNow that I’m alright (as I’m trying) I can help you out (just to keep things right)I’ll be what you need (I kill myself to make everything perfect for you)Goodbye, apathy So goodbye, apathy

So don’t you stop pushing me, I can take so muchSo goodbye, apathy (as I’m trying)So long, fancy free (just to keep things right)Goodbye, apathy (I kill myself to make everything perfect for you)I don’t wanna be you

Everybody is watching you, everybody is watching me, too (x6)(I can’t sleep…)

someone to save you

Patience, it took you for everythingIt looked like a diamond ringAnd you wore it so much longer than made sense Apathy, in disguise, crept on you like a spy And hurt you in ways you can’t describeBack to the start nowI won’t let you go this way now

Honesty is what you need, it sets you free Like someone to save you Let it go, but hurry, though, there’s undertow And I don’t wanna lose you now

Alright, sit down and spill your heartLet’s start from the very start‘Cause I can see by your eyes you’re wasted Your energy comes and goes You’ve taken your time, and knowNothin’ can change what’s happened, so Back to the start now I won’t let you go this way out

Honesty is what you need, it sets you free Like someone to save youLet it go, but hurry though, there’s undertow And I don’t wanna lose (don’t want to lose you) now, nowDon’t wanna lose you now

Oh my, look how your bright star’s faded soHow much can you take?

Honesty is what you need, it sets you free Like someone to save you Let it go, but hurry though, there’s undertow And I don’t wanna lose you now Na na, na na na na na naaaa…(Someone to save you)

come home

Hello, world, hope you’re listeningForgive me if I’m young or speaking out of turn But there’s someone that I’ve been missin’ And I think that they could be the better half of me They’re in the wrong place, tryin’ to make it right And I’m tired of justifying, so I say to you

“Come home, come home‘Cause I’ve been waitin’ for ya, for so long, for so longAnd right now there’s a war between the vanitiesBut all I see is you and meAnd the fight for you is all I’ve ever known So come home”

I get lost in the beautyOf everything I see, the world ain’t half as bad as they paint it to be If all the sons, all the daughters, stop to take it inHopefully, the hate subsides, and the love can beginIt might start now, or maybe I’m just dreamin’ out loud, but until then

“Come home, come home‘Cause I’ve been waitin’ for ya for so long, for so long And right now there’s a war between the vanities But all I see is you and meAnd the fight for you is all I’ve ever known (ever known) So come home”

Everything I can’t be, is everything you should beAnd that’s why I need you here Everything I can’t be, is everything you should beAnd that’s why I need you here So hear this now

“Come home, come home‘Cause I’ve been waitin’ for ya for so long, for so long And right now there’s a war between the vanitiesBut all I see is you and me And the fight for you is all I’ve ever known (ever known) So come homeCome home”

zach filkins thanks:

To my Creator, for your constant, passionate, unmovable love for me. My life has no meaning without you! To my wife, best friend, and soul mate. You are the most important person on earth to me! Thank you for all your patience, support, and comfort. I can’t thank you enough. Tears come now even as I write this. I know this road hasn’t been easy, so this is for you! To my mom and dad, you’re some of the best friends and mentors I could ever find. Your support, wisdom, and generosity have held me up so many times! You used to say I’d thank you some day for making me practice the guitar, and here it is! To my sister, growing up you’ve always watched my back and I’m so thank-ful for that. I wouldn’t want any other sister! To all my family and friends, you are all so incredibly important to me! I could never repay what you’ve given to me. Finally to my band, Ryan, Eddie, Drew, and Brent, you are like my brothers.

drew brown thanks:

I would like to thank God for his infinite patience and grace, without which none of this would be remotely possible. Equally, I would like to thank my family and friends for holding me up and making me stronger than I could ever be on my own. This dream was made pos-sible by too many people to list, so I won’t risk leaving anyone out. Besides, you know who you are and you know that I love you. Last, but not least, I’d like to thank my sisters, Abby and Kendall. You are, and will always be, the two most important people in the world, and I would have given up years ago had it not been for you.
