Lost 04:31
Roll on to better ways Hold on to younger days Never take the graceful exit Staying out and push right past the Point of no return again Falling back into that pit That I know so well it’s like the perfect fit Just keep pressing on Living on the edge got me running away I hate my time is staring at my face I don’t want to change, scared to act my age Got to feel the buzz just to feel alive But my world will fall if I don’t stop to hide Something’s got to change, I’ve lost my way Try to stop the spins Longer, pay for all my sins All I need is front and center Reach the point where it’s all that matters Why can’t I take the bait sometime Falling back into that pit That I know so well it’s like the perfect fit Just keep pressing on Living on the edge got me running away I hate my time is staring at my face I don’t want to change, scared to act my age Got to feel the buzz just to feel alive But my world will fall if I don’t stop to hide Something’s got to change, I’ve lost my way Falling back into that pit That I know so well it’s like the perfect fit Just keep pressing on Living on the edge got me running away I hate my time is staring at my face I don’t want to change, scared to act my age (scared to act my age) Got to feel the buzz just to feel alive But my world will fall if I don’t stop to hide Something’s got to change, I’ve lost my way

Running wild, living large always blazing up Seems that’s the time Go around chasing all of these vices Just to beat the grind It’s easy to shake it off Gotta take the time to make it right But don’t you think I don’t know what you’re up to here Release the fight The sky’s on fire for me Burning side to side And I’ll try not to let it fall down Won't you take a piece of the sun Rock bottom now I’ve sold everything I’ve had Plus a little more Pretty easy dreaming up when you’re living in The bottom of a hole The things that it does to me make the little hairs stand up on end (stand up on end) But I’ll try not to take everyone one of your gullible friends The sky’s on fire for me Burning side to side And I’ll try not to let it fall down Won't you take a piece of the sun The sky’s on fire for me Burning side to side And I’ll try not to let it fall down Won't you take a piece of The sky’s on fire for me Burning side to side And I’ll try not to let it fall down Won't you take a piece of the sun

Nostalgia 03:22
Never think about the way we always find ourselves Chasing after golden days To be younger in our eyes Do you think you have the strength to ask youself Is there any truth in your history Or just tiny lies Try to fight, well I’m holding on But the memories’ fading in my mind How can we know what is wrong or right? Oh I hope it’s true, it’s true Can you say you were the one to open up her heart Or did you fall into the zone my friend Try to recreate Will you be the one to take the leap of faith And say you remember what we did to hold the thread Let it percolate Try to fight, well I’m holding on But the memories’ fading in my mind How can we know what is wrong or right? Oh I hope it’s true, it’s true Looking back you know we found a way to saturate The borders of our ancient memories Try to think we’re right The past will never take the time to over offer up The fallacy within our living dreams Dimming into night Try to fight, well I’m holding on But the memories’ fading in my mind How can we know what is wrong or right?

Reach into my chest and you can take what’s yours Never thought I’d fall this easily of course But it’s plain enough to see You were always meant for me don’t you know Take a breath and fall into my arms, darling We can see the world and taste it all, searching And I hope it takes a while I love to see that smile, don’t you know And this world is not forever, but my love for you will be Wanna kiss you on the rooftop for all to see And I know that you’re the one who will save me from myself I’d do anything for you so just come along with me Take a step into my soul and watch it shine At the thought of you I know it won’t subside And it’s dragging me along, I will sing you all my songs don’t you know When you say my name it’s like the sweetest note You’re the most beautiful of all that’s ever been known And I’m lucky just to be, you’re the greatest company, don’t you know And this world is not forever, but my love for you will be Wanna kiss you on the rooftop for all to see And I know that you’re the one who will save me from myself I’d do anything for you so just come along with me
