No one really knows what happens now Are we gonna fall apart or live it down Am I ever gonna figure out the signals you’ve been sending my way Learn to speak a language I thought I knew Searching for the perfect moment never leaves a chance to know it from up or down I can’t always stand on solid ground Summer time in the afternoon, clear as day In a while I’ll get back to you I just had to break away, something’s on my mind Are we gonna face the truth or run and hide Am I ever gonna figure out the signals you’ve been sending my way Learn to speak a language I thought I knew Living in anticipation only led to more frustration before I found I can’t always stand on solid ground I’ve got time but I can’t say that it’s my own I can only use it if I spend it honestly I’m not tired but it’s hard to carry on In a world where you’re not here standing next to me No matter what might happen to us now We can face the truth and make it out somehow Pretty soon I’m gonna figure out the signals you’ve been sending my way Learn to speak a language I’ve always known Waiting for a premonition now that all my indecision has spun me round I can’t always stand on solid ground

A Write Off 03:48
I couldn’t give myself a break I hid in the shadows of another one’s mistake The days all had no meaning The world felt insincere Now I’m alone without a fear And I’m lost in the place I want to be Thinking if I take another night off Maybe in the morning I’ll be free But it’s a write off Somehow the chances came and went Chasing a butterfly while stuck in wet cement I led with intuition I saw no other way You gave me a role I couldn’t play But I’m dreaming of a time you’re always near Hoping if you take another night off Maybe in the morning you’ll be here But it’s a write off And I’m lost in the place I want to be Thinking if I take another night off Maybe in the morning I would see you’re free But I’m dreaming of a time you’re always near Hoping if you take another night off Maybe in the morning you’ll be here But it’s a write off

Lost in a daydream long before the finish line Wandering blindly through the mazes in my mind I get one step ahead just to turn around instead I’ll never understand how you start everything late and still save time I’m early to plan and always rushing in blind Caught in a landslide in the middle of the room Everyone stands by as I’m climbing my way through What’s the point moving fast when they want the thrill to last I’ll never understand how you start everything late and still save time I’m early to plan and always rushing in blind You don’t even know which way to go and still you end up leaving me behind So I’ll just keep rushing in blind

Not Enough 04:04
I had a thought but I kept it in I just assumed that you knew With all the things that we leave unsaid What’s another to keep from you I had a feeling but I held it back I figured you’d understand With all the things we keep to ourselves What’s another to bury in the sand And then you tell me Don’t you worry, it doesn’t have to be that way You must be crazy to believe the things you say Sometimes the reasons to bury what we love can be too much And at the same time, not enough I had a song but it slipped away I couldn’t tell what it lacked With all the things that we try to make What’s another to slip through the cracks I had a dream but I let it go I couldn’t bare to see it break With all the things that we never do What’s another to leave in its wake And then you tell me Don’t you worry, it doesn’t have to be that way You must be crazy to believe the things you say Sometimes the reasons to leave the ones we love can be too much And at the same time, not enough
