Track Name: When We Get There
The minutes pass
and it's hours before I sleep,
'cause I'm still contemplating
when it's over, where we'll be.

And I can't speak
when I'd rather give up now
and make this last forever.
There's just got to be somehow.

When Autumn's drawing near,
and my vision's got less clear,
will you be worth the wait?
That's a chance I'd like to take.
We're going nowhere fast,
but we're growing up at last.
Will the end be worth the scare?
Well, we'll see when we get there.

I can't deny
these feelings anymore.
I'll tell you that I need you,
and I'll tell you I want more.

The timing sucks,
just like it always has,
but someone tell me,
why's it gotta turn out bad?

When Autumn's drawing near,
and my vision's got less clear,
will you be worth the wait?
That's a chance I'd like to take.
We're going nowhere fast,
but we're growing up at last.
Will the end be worth the scare?
Well, we'll see when we get there.
Track Name: I Had To Do It
If I had another choice, I'd make it in a second
If I had a second chance, I'd take it from the start
If my heavy heart were strong enough
I'd stay and let you keep it
But to know you is to love you
And I don't want to love you anymore

It's selfish and I'm sorry but you know I had to do it
And I'll miss you every second but you know it's for the best
If my weary heart were well enough
I'd stay and let you keep it
But to know you is to love you
And I don't want to love you anymore

I'm doing better now
I know you'll be ok without me
I'm doing better now
I know you'll be ok without me
I'm doing better now
I know you'll be ok without me 'round

You know I never meant to go and throw away a future
I guess I can't expect to ever hear from you again
If my broken heart were brave enough
I'd stay and let you keep it
But to know you is to love you
And I don't want to love you anymore

I don't want to love you anymore
I don't want to love you anymore

I'm doing better now
I know you'll be ok without me
I'm doing better now
I know you'll be ok without me
I'm doing better now
I know you'll be ok without me 'round

If I had another choice, I'd make it in a second
If I had a second chance, I'd take it from the start
If my heavy heart were strong enough
I'd stay and let you keep it
But to know you is to love you
And I don't want to love you anymore

I don't want to love you anymore
I don't want to love you anymore
Track Name: Stay Right Now
I've got a knack for moving forward, a history of not
A permanent solution that I've found but haven't got
A face against my fingertips, a feeling I have learned
'Cause a lifetime full of liars taught me
I don't ever get what I deserve

So I'm staring to the silence and wearing just a smile
I'll take what you will give me, be it inches, be it miles
'Cause I'm here for the duration, the frustration, and the trial
I'm not leaving in the morning
Even though I know you're leaving in a while

It's okay
And I'm fine
There's no way
And no time
So just stay
For right now
Right now

The days are passing slowly, and I'm still on my own
But with this unfamiliar feeling, suddenly I'm not alone
And I'm missing all that emptiness that got me through my teens
If you don't mind me being honest
I just don't know what that means

And for the first time in my life, I can't sing what's on my tongue
'Cause it's scary when I say it, or when you say it, or when I hear it
Sung by all those people who have felt what I can't hide
No solution to this problem
So just listen to me now and don't decide

It's okay
And I'm fine
There's no way
And no time
So just stay
For right now
Right now
Track Name: Oh Yeah See
I'm sinking deeper to the bottom of my mattress
Waiting for a sign from you, or something
I can't believe that I even had to ask this
What are you waiting for?

I believed in you more than you believed in you and me
We were meant to fall apart
Oh, yeah, see, I saw it from the start
So why do you still break my heart?

I had a dream that you still liked to lay next to me now and then, and we never stopped talking
I can't believe that you ruined such a good thing
What were you hoping for?

I believed in you more than you believed in you and me
We were meant to fall apart
Oh, yeah, see, I saw it from the start
So why do you still break my heart?

Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart

Yeah
I believed in you more than you believed in you and me
We were meant to fall apart
Oh, yeah, see, I saw it from the start
So why do you still break my heart?

Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart
Break my heart
