Verse:
So tell me where we are standing now,
You set me up to knock me down,
And tried to put the blame on me
The blame on the one who it shouldn't be
When you shut your mouth, I like that sound
The sound you make when you've been found out
Broken trust and shattered dreams
It seems all of this was make believe
Pre-chorus:
They say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
We've broken the house and torn off the roof,
You're in my head every single day,
It's driving me crazy, it won't go away
Chorus:
Here I am being critical,
When you're over there being an emotional,
Wreck again, just like before,
It's all the same, the same old game
Here I am I'm playing the fool,
There you are being a pitiful,
Mess, the one that you have made,
The pathetic mess I tried to save
Verse 2:
Give me a reason to give you a chance,
Would you even go back if we could again?
Come a bit closer and tell me your plans,
You cant talk when you’ve buried your head in the sand
Pre-chorus:
They say an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth,
We've broken the house and torn off the roof,
You're in my head every single day,
It's driving me crazy, it won't go away
Chorus:
Here I am being critical,
When you're over there being an emotional,
Wreck again, just like before,
It's all the same, the same old game
Here I am I'm playing the fool,
There you are being a pitiful,
Mess, the one that you have made,
The pathetic mess I tried to save
Bridge:
Here is to nothing, that you said would be something,
Something never happens but we still get hurt through it all,
Here is to nothing, that you said would be something,
Something never happens but we still get hurt through it all,
We still get hurt through it all!
Chorus:
Here I am being critical,
When you're over there being an emotional,
Wreck again, just like before,
It's all the same, the same old game
Here I am I'm playing the fool,
There you are being a pitiful,
Mess, the one that you have made,
The pathetic mess I tried to save

That Kind of Night

Verse 1:
It’s that kind of night,
A guys got his fists up, he’s ready to fight
Stood up again, I’ve been drinking too much,
I want to get home, but I’m caught in the rush
Lost sight of my feet and a crowd gathers round,
Just waiting to see who get’s knocked to the ground,
They can’t say they’re proud of themselves, but oh well,
For such a beautiful town, it sure looks like hell
Pre-chorus:
And they’ve been getting around,
but this fucking town's been dragging them down,
So tell me who runs the streets,
while we're strapped in our seats now?
Chorus:
So get up, get up,
The bands about to start,
Go get a drink then back off from the bar,
Then back off, back off,
Before it all kicks off,
And the band stops, they've gone too far
Verse 2:
Eyes burning, head spinning,
Pick myself up, but the glass keeps on stinging,
And apart from my friends, no one lends a hand,
Too busy holding their phones to even try and pretend
Now I’m trying stand up but they don’t even back up,
Their mentality sucks and I’m shit out of luck,
And the pain in my head, and my feet every step,
Of the way back home, I’ll get back when I’m dead
Pre-chorus:
And they’ve been getting around,
but this fucking town's been dragging them down,
So tell me who runs the streets,
while we're strapped in our seats now?
Chorus:
So get up, get up,
The bands about to start,
Go get a drink then back off from the bar,
Then back off, back off,
Before it all kicks off,
And the band stops, they've gone too far
Bridge:
This desperation, out looking for a fight,
It happens every night, but there’s no one to save me
Nothing like a cheap thrill, did you catch it all on film?
They know it isn’t right…
Chorus:
So get up, get up,
The bands about to start,
Go get a drink then back off from the bar,
Then back off, back off,
Before it all kicks off,
And the band stops, they've gone too far

The Distance In-between
02:59

|
Verse:
Lately, something’s driving me crazy,
It’s the fact that you’ve never met me,
but it really doesn’t seem, the distance in-between,
Can stop me looking into your eyes,
When I see you I loose my mind,
Now I know you won’t believe,
That you’re the only one I need
Pre-chorus:
You’ve got me running round in circles,
But you cant see that you’re so worth it
Chorus:
The only thing I know is that I don’t want you to go, if I’m not there,
I just want to show you that I care,
And everybody knows that you’ll be the one to make them stop and stare,
When they see you standing there
Verse 2:
So Katie,
I know I don’t deserve this,
and I can’t claim to be perfect,
But for you I’m gonna be
And Katie ,
With your eyes wide open,
As blue as the ocean,
It’s like I’m drowning in the sea
Pre-chorus:
You’ve got me running round in circles,
But you cant see that you’re so worth it
Chorus:
The only thing I know is that I don’t want you to go, if I’m not there,
I just want to show you that I care,
And everybody knows that you’ll be the one to make them stop and stare,
When they see you standing there
Instrumental break
Chorus:
The only thing I know is that I don’t want you to go, if I’m not there,
I just want to show you that I care,
And everybody knows that you’ll be the one to make them stop and stare,
When they see you standing there
You’re a thousand miles away, but that won’t stop me,
So Katie, will you come away with me?

Who Am I?
03:20

Verse:
Who am I to anybody when no one knows my name?
Just a ghost in the dark, a shadow passing by,
As I count down the days,
But I'll probably never get there if I try,
So why do I bother?
All these doubts in my head,
Every word ever said to me
It's like I'm the bastard son of the whole wide fucking world,
Everybody wants rid of me,
To see me on the streets, looking for sympathy,
You're fucking kidding me, cause I'm not so weak
And if you're doubting me, you think I waste my time,
Think I should pack it in, well please don't try,
To change my mind, I'll make it my goal to prove you wrong
Verse:
I never once listened to myself,
or worked through things to better understand,
Exactly who I am, or want to be,
or what this world has planned for me
I've coasted right through 18 years,
Never once feared what the years ahead will bring,
But for once I’m thinking clear,
The past seems so far away, but the future seems so near
(The future seems so near…)
Chorus:
So who am to anybody when no one knows my name?
Just an invisible puppet on your strings?
While you throw your punches and I do nothing?
And who are you to tell me that these things will never change?
Put me down all you want, but I’ll tell you one thing,
I’ll rise above it and be something
Verse 2:
Don’t want to know how it feels to be walking in your shoes,
Cause to me you’re a train wreck, you’re no better,
Never got what you wanted, now you’re bitter
So don’t bother trying to get me to see your point,
Cause your view is distorted, when you’re down there,
And the view from up here, it’s much better
There’s no use complaining about the things you never did...
Chorus:
So who am to anybody when no one knows my name?
Just an invisible puppet on your strings?
While you throw your punches and I do nothing?
And who are you to tell me that these things will never change?
Put me down all you want, but I’ll tell you one thing,
I’ll rise above it and be something
Outro:
There’s nothing you can do to give them faith in you,
There’s nothing you can say to make them change this,
Want you to be like them, they want to make your plans,
But you should be yourself, and just embrace it!

Verse:
What did I get for trying to be,
Exactly the person that you need from me?
All of my friends would tell me I’m blind,
That I couldn’t see I was wasting my time,
For hours and hours I’d wait for your call,
But now I’m just waiting for Better Call Saul
Chorus:
And I guess that really, I hate you too,
It must be fate that I had to lose you,
It’s not what you did it’s what you would do,
So I wrote this song, not for, but just about you
Verse 2:
Now I’m taking a walk down Green Street again,
Thinking back over the times that we spent,
Singing out loud to our favourite songs,
Back when I thought you could do me no wrong,
Everyone else saw what I couldn’t see,
But now I’m with them and you’re not with me
Chorus:
And I guess that really, I hate you too,
It must be fate that I had to lose you,
It’s not what you did it’s what you would do,
So I wrote this song, not for, but just about you
Verse 3:
The times have changed and the past is gone,
I’m over this chapter and I’m moving on,
Yeah, I lost what I had but I didn’t have shit,
I was nothing to you, and only now I know it,
I’ll have the last laugh when you’re feeling alone,
Cut off all ties and all dial tones
Chorus:
And I guess that really, I hate you too,
It must be fate that I had to lose you,
It’s not what you did it’s what you would do,
So I wrote this song, not for, but just about you
Breakdown:
Chorus:
And I guess that really, I hate you too,
It must be fate that I had to lose you,
It’s not what you did it’s what you would do,
So I wrote this song, not for, but just about you

Verse:
I’m throwing my drink away, been sick in the sink again,
My eyes can’t see straight, I’ve had enough,
I’m throwing it all away, when can I get away, when can I stop,
So tell me that I should stay, the stairs are a mile away, I can’t give up,
So it’s vodka to wash the taste, something stronger to get me off
Pre-chorus:
Lets get sober, or take this further,
I don’t ever wanna feel this way again...
Chorus:
We can’t finish now we started,
I should put the bottle down,
We still drink in early hours,
As the morning comes around
And I can’t hear myself,
The quiet is drowned out,
By the alcohol, that’s in control,
I’ve had too much, without a shadow of a doubt
Verse 2:
The Tv’s back on again, it’s the same song again,
When will this night end? I’ve had enough
And the shots are lined up again, predict the consequence..
Now she’s with another guy, when will I get my time, I’ve run out of luck,
Stealing the moment, I’m not any closer, guess I should give up
Pre-chorus:
Lets get sober, or take this further,
I don’t ever wanna feel this way again...
Chorus:
We can’t finish now we started,
I should put the bottle down,
We still drink in early hours,
As the morning comes around
And I can’t hear myself,
The quiet is drowned out,
By the alcohol, that’s in control,
I’ve had too much, without a shadow of a doubt
Bridge:
We can’t finish now we started,
I should put the bottle down,
We still drink in early hours...
Chorus:
We can’t finish now we started,
I should put the bottle down,
We still drink in early hours,
As the morning comes around
And I can’t hear myself,
The quiet is drowned out,
By the alcohol, that’s in control,
I’ve had too much, without a shadow of a doubt
