I was told it wouldn’t end I thought I could just pretend But there was a feeling in my bones I tried to reject, but I should have known I opened my heart, and stepped in the flame But that was the end of everything Another night, another city And I was just like... I’ll go get it, I’ll go get it all and burn it I’ll just let it, I’ll just let it all keep burning It’s already started and I know It will be hard to watch it go That hour’s departed and I’m caught In the flare Of the fire that won’t go out It took flame as I found doubt It’s already started and I know It will be hard to watch it go I was taught to look inside My inner world and let it thrive The season’s changed from green to gold But I stayed fixed in my setting mold Well time was the cause, but it wasn’t the cure And I knew it all was fading It had me undone, it had finally won But I was still like… I’ll go get it, I’ll go get it all and burn it I’ll just let it, I’ll just let it all keep burning It’s already started and I know It will be hard to watch it go That hour’s departed and I’m caught In the flare Of the fire that won’t go out It took flame as I found doubt It’s already started and I know It will be hard to watch it go It's already started It's already started It's already started It's already started It's already started It's already started It’s already started and I know It will be hard to watch it go That hour’s departed and I’m caught In the flare Of the fire that won’t go out It took flame as I found doubt It’s already started and I know That it is time to let it go Into the city and into the night

Work It Out 02:55
Looking up from the bottom, you can only see as far as today Or dream about a blue side a million miles away Yeah those cuts in the sky are just a normal part of the day Oh maybe just maybe we can make it all okay Don’t you know what it’s all about? It’s time to turn this shit around Because I feel it’s dragging on Don’t you know we can work it out? From underneath the covers we can choose what we want to see What doesn’t change are the things that will cease to be Yeah the blind-spot is growing to the edges of our screens Well maybe just maybe it’s only what it seems Don’t you know what it’s all about? It’s time to turn this shit around Because I feel it’s dragging on Don’t you know we can work it out? We can work it out, just maybe We can work it out, my baby We can work it out, just maybe We can work it out Because I feel it’s dragging on Don’t you know we can work it out?

Overflow 04:05
Well this is all I remember The rest has washed from my mind I felt a breeze through my window The moon was out and it shone inside The light was white, my heart was blind Overflow This is what we are Overflow In our hearts and in the dark Give a little up, you said, without a look or a sound Never looking back again, cause there’s no turning around Give a little up, you said, but I’m ready to go Never looking back again, cause it just might overflow The light feels warm in the morning And they say the glow endures the night If this could last more than a weekend I’d feed the flame and make it mine But love is cruel as well as kind Overflow This is what we are Overflow In our hearts and in the dark Give a little up, you said, without a look or a sound Never looking up again, cause there’s no turning around Give a little up, you said, but I’m ready to go Never looking up again, cause it just might overflow

Nineteen 04:02
I’m finding it harder To feel that strong With all of these people and their open eyes I’m finding it harder You look so good I think I’ll watch it just collide Out in the open And out in the wide We’re just kids from another time Out in the open You look so good I’m begging, take me to the other side Pull this thread and walk me into the warm Take me to the other side I’m finding it harder It feels so good Your body shakes as I look into your eyes It’s getting warmer I’m begging, take me to the other side Pull this thread and walk me into the warm Take me to the other side Pull this thread and walk me into the warm Take me to the other side

Lover's Game 02:16
Settle down, try to rebuild it all Fake a laugh to seem under control Looking back at what could have been You catch his eye and feel those prickles on your skin If I could move away, I’d move away today It’s gone too far for who we are If I could move away, I’d move away today I’d throw it back, back to the stars Don’t say goodbye when it still feels like you're mine Don’t make me cry if you still feel the same Don’t say goodbye unless you mean it this time Don’t make me buy into your lover’s game Into your lover’s game Into your lover’s game
