NO HARM NO FOUL
Wrap your arms around your head
The cameras flashing, headlines read (Fill in the blanks)
Is this not obvious enough, boy?
What are you staring at? (This is none of your concern)
Right before your eyes
This task at hand
Accusations get colder
(Avenge your broken heartbeat bleeding on the floor)
Target in your sights
Don’t hesitate
It will all blow over
(And you’ll feel better than you ever felt before)
Take my word, it won’t be long
To state your case & prove them wrong
(Fill in the blanks)
With no one to bear witness to it
What are we waiting for?
(Now this trial is adjourned)
Cover up your tracks, compose yourself
You’re not accused of anything
Leave and don’t look back, ‘cause now’s your chance
To run & make your getaway

WEEK TWO
Feeling like writing apologies
for the things that always bothered me
I’m not blaming you I’m away from home
Repeating thoughts that keep me up at night
Of all the words that didn’t come out right
There’s something missing here when we talk on the phone
[chorus]
Yeah it’s always what you least expect
It’s something cell phone towers can’t connect
Although it hurts sometimes, I'll never be untrue
And If there’s one thing I could do or say
To ease the pain of being miles away
I’d tap a central line to heal what’s ailing you
But now I'm gone
In search for ways to push the hands of time
Remember nights when your hearts next to mine
Oh, I could help you up even if I’m not there
Your somber voice gets sweeter everyday
This eager boy is just a call away
A simple message to remind me that you care
Could be in London, Paris, Saint Andrews
Or use a payphone when abroad at school
I’ll sing a ballad beating halfway across earth
I hope with summer nights we’re dreaming of
The cheapest valentine I could think up
I sent a package to remind you when it hurts
[chorus]

PROGRESS
Who is this face walking right next to me?
Your eyes so alluring
and I’m strung along
What is this place? Stop playing tricks on me
It feels so familiar,
but I’m catching on
[chorus]
And we’ll wonder why we said goodbye
A broken heart consumed the day you lied
The jaded cycle turns a hero to a poet
And its terror when you hear the sound
Because the situation twists around
The way you’re killing me and you don’t even know it
Don’t count on me
Because I’ll never turn my cheek
You can’t force the words to make them true
It’s just something you’re not supposed to do
Then you walked away
seductive face, stop playing tricks on me
Your eyes seemed familiar
But now they’re gone
Without a trace
They shined with symmetry
Radiant silver
I’m catching on
[chorus]

TROUBLED TIMES
You don't know when to call it quits
when you're caught up in the glam and glitz
And you don't know when to give this up
You're just trying hard not to screw it up
And I, I find it hard
to think that people like this really existed
[chorus]
You won't pull it off if your heart's not into it
The war isn't won until the scars that be prove it
If this is a promise just let me be honest
Can I?
Because rejection can make your heart cold
But it can also make you twice as bold
And you won't find it hard
to think the people like this really existed
[chorus]
The dream's done, now I'm waking up
Cause my heart's set and my mind's made up
That I'll walk tall on my chosen path
And I wont stray, no, I won't look back
Now I don't find it hard
To think that people like this really existed

The Trail

THE TRAIL
The road is silence
Overwhelming me
Slip into blindness
And all I want's to sleep
[chorus]
But this habit won’t help
Stop telling yourself
That everything’s alright
It’s all wrong
In mental rehearsal
Our heads spin in circles
In search for what we’ve lost
It's our innocence
We got carried away
The anger that I’m feeling still
Hand hanging on the steering wheel
Fatigue takes its toll, backseat refused to notice
If the tables could turn, then the playing field levels
Silence gives way to the bass & the treble
The tape starts to roll, but
Do actions suit the motive?
[chorus]
It’s in this trail that we rely
And how we made it out alive
Only the brave step up
The weak go on to choke
Don’t even think about it
Just talk to me, talk to me driver
Don’t even think about it
Just talk to me, talk to me driver

Until Then

UNTIL THEN
Gonna need your
Undivided attention for the next several minutes
Yeah honey, you’re body is shutting down
Because the genie granted all of your wishes
You can’t take back
But you don’t want to hear it
It’s written all over your face
And you got, you got
Another confession to make
Won’t make you beg for this girl
We can’t afford to miss this
[Chorus]
Turn it up, (Turn it up)
‘Cause we’re sitting in the hot-seat
Keeping up, (Keeping up)
To the rhythms of your heartbeat
Even if we’re underage, we’re not afraid to
Break the rules
Of those who came before us
Gonna need a name, a number to reach ya
And a statement of business
Cause honey, you’re call has been forwarded
To an automatic voice message system
I’ll call you back
I’m not coherent yet
It’s written all over my face
And I got, I got
Another confession to make
Don’t make me beg for this girl
We can’t afford to miss this
[Chorus]
(Everyday we Turn the page)
(Break out of the mold)
Of those who came before us (x4)

RED & WHITE
It was like tearing up tendons within inches from the floor
Remembering the day I see you go
Now I hear whispers late at night that an angel's wish was not to die
A halo is torn in two
Tell me, how do I let go of someone I've known so long
It seems impossible
Accepting that you're gone
And believe me I would trade,
I scream to God to take my life instead,
so then you could stay.
but then to my dismay
[pre chorus]
I still remember red and white headlights spin out of control
You said "I'll be just fine, if you put your hand in mine"
I will hold you for eternity, I just want you to know
[Chorus]
That if you're out there listening
I'm down here on earth wishing
To see you once again
I'll try to go on living
with half of my heart missing
Remembering that day
It was cold out
we were sitting in my car
Hands were on steady steer, location near
But your eyes very far
"And believe me when I say, there'll be no talking on the ride home
If you're acting that way"
Those words I can't unsay
[Pre Chorus]
[Chorus]
…waiting for that day
When my day's done, and kingdom comes
I will search a thousand suns
Until I see your face and hold you once again
But until then, I'm tearing up tendons within inches from the floor
Remembering your gentle voice to get me through
Now I hear whispers late at night and an angel says to live my life
and move on. I will for you
[Chorus x2]

DEAD ON ARRIVAL
Messages from loved ones at night
Of critical care keeping you alive
Staring at the screen’s white glow
Wondering will you
Make it through the night?
Messages to loved ones at night
Handled with care: will you be alright?
Hoping that you'll find your way
Wondering will you walk towards the light?

BREATHE
We're bent and taking side streets
Wet at 1 am
We're listening to songs we love and
Hope they never end
Now I'm not ready to go home
You can tell 'em on the telephone
that I never want to leave
cause this feeling that i'll always miss
of the goosebumps I felt our first kiss
and I forgot to breathe
[chorus:]
Just breathe
To stay alive with me
It feels like we could fly
The night is young and so are we
We're never going to die
So make amends with enemies you've had before
If life's too short to spend on hate,
we'll heal this world at war
Because loving's half the battle
But your heart can become fragile
when you wear it on your sleeve
Cause you leave your heart wide open
And when hearts like these get broken
Hurts so bad that you can't breathe
[chorus]
We're never going to die
We're never going to
Take for granted nights when we felt
Foolish and invincible, yea we
We were young, we were strong, and oh yeah we were dumb but
We lived each day one by one
And we will till our last breath
[chorus]
Never
(we wish)
