I've got a new life but I'm not sure that it's mine Somewhere up above I'm drawing conclusions And I don't know how you'll feel Because I'm not the golden girl I was (I kiss just like him You kiss just like her) (I am the one Do you think that I can be the one to see through?) I'll make it all right, and I'll make sure I'll make your night Give what you have got because I'm already that far gone Somewhere up above I'm drawing conclusions And I don't know how you'll feel Because I'm not the golden girl I was (I kiss just like him You kiss just like her) (I am the one Do you think that I can? Well I do.) Scatter your love Keep thinking that it will be enough Gather it up The little pieces will add up Somewhere up above I'm drawing conclusions And I don't know how you'll feel Because I'm not the golden girl I was (I kiss just like him You kiss just like her) (I am the one Do you think that I can? I do, I do I do)

Victory 03:06
What do you do and what's your name? I knew I'm gonna let go In Baton Rouge and picture frames history unfolds With all the summers we swear we're gonna move and get away from here Run out of fuel and stay It's too hard to go Places we belong to don't belong to you What do you think of all the things? All the things you don't know? Count the months and the weeks til the moment when I say it's time to go With all the summers we swear we're gonna move and get away from here Run out of fuel and stay It's too hard to go Victory or death Places we belong to don't belong to you

I Want You 03:33
I can't help but see the inconsistencies And I certainly don't want to repeat But something happens when you're gone, you say to me So return. Return to me. The wedding band that's on my hand that you've given me I want you I want you more than anything Only one who can make me forget everything I want you I want you more than anything Sounding through the static that is deafening Let it go by, falling aside Hold your breath and see if it will go away Count to ten and back on every heartbeat Your eyes betray you when you're gone and as you leave So return. Return to me. The wedding band that's on my hand that you've given me I want you I want you more than anything Only one who can make me forget everything I want you I want you more than anything Sounding through the static that is deafening Let it go by, falling aside Don't go, baby

Oh, River 03:17
Tie a rope around us both when the water throws us back and forth Or drag the plans out from below Heads down running out to meet the storm Oh, no! Hey, don't you wanna go? Do you wanna go? All the finer things we know All the finer things we'll leave alone If we choose to go that road will we ever find our way back home? Oh, no! Hey, don't you wanna go? Do you wanna go? Go! Although I intend to even if I don't get you I won't let you down

We went down to Maricopa We went down to where you're from Do you know the words to say Do you know the things we never should say Oh, I'm sleeping in your bed All these thoughts they're racing through my head Welcome back to Maricopa Welcome back to where you're from You know the words to say Do you know the things we never should say Oh, I'm sleeping in your bed All these thoughts they're racing through my head
6.
Sentiment 02:39
Through the murkiness I'll see the light Confident that you were never right All the time you took from me All the time I know I'll never see You declared once before I might be so in love with you I feel lost No thanks to you Take a breath Heaven sent I've had enough of your sentiment I feel lost Superseding what I knew was right Laying down and letting out the light So much time you took from me So much time I know I'll never see And I thought once before that you might say something new I feel lost Not because of you Hell bent on heaven sent I've had enough of your sentiment I feel lost

San Ve San 03:01
Picture your life out on your own Well I don't wanna see You could see how far you've grown and possibilities How do you know? I'll have to trust you I'll have to trust you The things that are dark and all the things that sparkle in your beautiful heart will always give me a start 'cause it's yours I'll do this forever if you can And if there's something that you'd rather then I'll bend When the levers push us up and down They will not control us When the earth is pushing up the ground It will comfort and console us Thoroughly resisting when we're bound 'Cause we're so damn clever But we still hear that awful sound that says we cannot sever These ideas just won't go away Why would they ever stop? They would if you'd choose to make a change I shudder at the thought How do you know? I'll have to trust you I'll have to trust you The things that are dark and all the things that sparkle in your beautiful heart will always give me a start 'cause it's yours When the levers push us up and down They will not control us When the earth is pushing up the ground It will comfort and console us Thoroughly resisting when we're bound 'Cause we're so damn clever But we still hear that awful sound that says we cannot sever
