Head and Heart

Staring at the ceiling in bed
As a rush of thoughts start to enter my head
And there’s one thought that haunts me the most
That I was yours
Dying in this damn summer sun
Oh I couldn’t wait for the winter to come
And I know when it finally does
I’ll still be yours
They say you win some you lose some but I just keep losing
My heart’s always after the dreams in my head
But those dreams they never will become memories
But if you want me to I will wait for you
Months they were here and were gone
When winter finally came I couldn’t wait for the sun
Winter brought the cold to my bones
And to my heart
Cause love has yet to be kind to me
This aching in my chest makes it hard to breathe
I think it’s time to let it go
To start again
They say you win some you lose some but I just keep losing
My heart’s always after the dreams in my head
But those dreams they never will become memories
But if you want me to I will wait for you
But I will not let you make a hole inside my heart
I’ll turn away as you tear my walls apart
I should have known I would lose right from the start
Take me home before I fall apart
Take me home before she breaks my heart

Under the Chestnut Tree

Under the watchful eyes we took to the trees, you and me
We laid in the quiet woods. Is this what love's supposed to be
For who alone could calm this heart, oh you never know who it might be
But under the chestnut tree is where I sold you and you sold me
Drink until I forget convince myself I need this
Hiding alone in the crowd for fear of being wrong fear of being right
Betrayed by the one that I love
These are the things I say when we're alone
Betrayed by the one that she loves
These are the things we say
Betrayed by the one that I love
These are the things I say when we're alone
Betrayed by the one that she loves
These are the things we say
Betrayed by the one that I love
Betrayed by the one that she loves
Betrayed by the one that I love
Betrayed by the one that she loves
Alone, these are the things we say, these are the things we say
Alone, these are the things we say, these are the things we say
Alone, these are the things we say, these are the things we say
Alone, these are the things we say, these are the things we say

When You Came Home

When you came home, I was hoping you would fall in my arms
But now, I’m just happy to be here moving on
Cause the things I learned are the things I build on
And maybe one day I’ll, I’ll see you again
But take me back to the times when we were younger
Cause they moved too fast and I’m scared of growing older
But I can’t look back cause I know I’ll always love her
Like I did when we were young
When you came home, I was hoping you would fall in my arms
But now, I’m just happy to be here moving on
Cause the things I learned are the things I build on
And maybe one day I’ll, I’ll see you again
But take me back to the times when we were younger
Cause they moved too fast and I’m scared of growing older
But I can’t look back cause I know I’ll always love her
Like I did when we were young
Thinking back to all the times we spent together, where’d it all go
But I can’t keep on waiting for you here forever, I gotta let go

Make You Mine

Tonight’s what I’ve been waiting for; standing at your door, feel my heart race
When I see your face a smile takes over mine, thoughts will fill my mind of your embrace
This crowded night I wanna make you feel you’re the only one that my eyes can see
You bite your lip, I chew my cheek, oh I can’t wait to see what we could be
But I won’t fall victim to the blinding glaze of lover’s eyes
Like before no not this time
And I won’t fall victim to the blinding glaze of lover’s eyes
Cause with you, I’ll take my time
And I’ll try my best to be a gentleman, to prove that mama, she, yeah she raised me right
Oh cause I wanna get this right, I wanna make this last, I wanna make you mine
But I won’t fall victim to the blinding glaze of lover’s eyes
Like before no not this time
And I won’t fall victim to the blinding glaze of lover’s eyes
Cause with you, I’ll take my time
Hold on, if only for a moment I could hold you it’d be all right with me (x3)

Lost in the Crowd

Can we make this last forever?
Or will this fade before it even starts?
In your heart please keep me when you're gone
And in my heart the fire will burn on
When you come home will you fall in my arms
Or will all be forgot in the crowd?
But lost in the crowd I will pick your face out
And I'll fall in love again
In the night I'll see you in a dream
When I call you will not say a thing
And that dream will haunt me in my sleep
And in your sleep will you still dream of me?
I know we'll find it but the god was not on our side this time (x2)
When you come home will you fall in my arms
Or will all be forgot in the crowd?
But lost in the crowd I will pick your face out
And I'll fall in love again
Will you think of me when all is calm?
Will you think of me when all is not?
When you find yourself alone at night
What will make its home inside your mind
When you come home will you fall in my arms
Or will all be forgot in the crowd?
But lost in the crowd I will reach my hand out
And we'll fall in love again
Oh we can fall in love again
We can fall in love again
