Hello Dream 03:45
2.
VERSE 1 I turn my song on, and it feels like magic They just fade away, and it’s not so tragic I got both of my headphones by my side They’ll keep fighting on but I’ll be fine CHORUS Oh, I know this music won’t shut out all the screaming But I hope that maybe I could make it through the evening And I’ll keep on faking a smile And you’ll keep it inside for a while So I know that I’ll be fine For the rest of tonight VERSE 2 Let’s go to someplace where there will be silence Take me far away from all the violence Where there’s bright orange trees, and there’s no one but me I turn my song on, and I feel free [CHORUS]

VERSE 1: I could still remember how you used to taste Like cherries and vanilla with a hint of date And perhaps I should’ve noticed how you pulled away But there’s nothing quite as sweet as this This dream is painted with some shades of pink and blue When I try to recreate, it doesn’t look like you So I’m not so sure there’s anything that I could do When you fade, I feel a trace of a kiss CHORUS: I didn’t know that you left Or even that we’re through I didn’t know that I meant So little to you After everything’s destroyed You don’t get to call me your boy ‘Cause I didn’t know I meant So little to you VERSE 2: I can still remember how we sneaked around Playin’ hide and seek and hoping never to be found And our whispers always made prettiest of sounds There was always more of you to adore I thought I was more to you than just some fun Or at least I’m worth enough for you to say we were done But I guess she came around and made you fall love And there’s no place for me anymore CHORUS BRIDGE: I thought I was the one At least that’s what you’ve said for months Cut me off when summer’s done ‘Cause I guess you’ve had your fun I would be fine without a lover But babe, I didn’t think I’d lose a friend But it had to end CHORUS OUTRO: After all is said and done You don’t get to say that it was fun ‘Cause I didn’t know I meant So little to you

VERSE 1 My heart is broken But it’s fucking dinner time I’ll pick up the shards, and Try to crack a smile The words you’ve spoken What should I hide them in? This whole apartment I don’t even know where to fucking begin So I’ll do us both a favor And I’ll never try to put us back together CHORUS Oh my god we are falling apart We are falling apart VERSE 2 You just want silence There’s nothing you won’t do To hide the violence That you were born into So I keep trying Put back the shards of you When you’re always fighting Can you ever be anything but cruel? So I’ll do us both a favor And I’ll never try to put us back together Ever again [CHORUS] They broke you Into pieces And now I’m left with shards They’re cutting me They hurt you So you’re hurting me Is this who you are? I know you I know we Could be better than Who we are right now I’ll try to Put the pieces Back together again [CHORUS] [Guitar solooooooo]

Leave 03:27
VERSE 1 Heartless words Poison this house like there’s lead in the dirt They spill out my mouth when you don’t deserve The cruelty was not for you Children hurt For loving their mother, it’s what they learn So they give their lovers those heartless words ‘Cause cruelty was all they knew CHORUS If you want to leave, just leave I don’t want you thinking you need to bleed for me, and after the hell we’ve seen I wouldn’t blame you if you want to leave VERSE 2 I lost a friend I pushed you away ‘cause I want to end All the mistakes that I cannot mend I couldn’t make it right Scars don’t heal But I’ve worked so hard to hide how I feel So much that I don’t know what is real I’ve run out of places to hide CHORUS If you want to leave, just leave I don’t want you thinking you need to bleed for me, and after the hell we’ve seen I wouldn’t blame you if you want to leave We’re dancing the same old dance I say I’m sorry, I get one more chance So babe it’s not really hard to see Tell me, if you want to leave, just leave [Instrumental climax] (Ahhhhhhhh)

Chorus: I wish that I could open the blinds Shine the disco lights where you are But as long as you’re hiding yourself Don’t need nobody else, I’ll be with you Dancing in the dark (Dancing in the) Verse 1: As you paint your nails And put your high heels on Don’t need nobody else Put on your favorite song You’ve always liked being all alone Beyond that door doesn’t feel like home It’s the kind of night That you’ve seen in the movies What you wear feels right Exactly who you wanna be You never liked feeling all alone, but Nobody else makes you feel like home [CHORUS] Verse 2: I hope you know I need you to come dance with me You in that space is only temporary I’m not gon’ let you stay in there too long I’m not gon’ let you stay in there too long (Dancing in the dark) I’m not gon’ let you stay in there too long (I hope you know I need you to come dance with me) I’m not gon’ let you stay in there too long Dancing in the dark [CHORUS] Dancing in the dark (I hope you know I need you to come dance with me) Dancing in the dark (You in that space is only temporary)

Disappear 04:35

VERSE 1 I know I’ve been a little distant But the thought of you is a little different now And you should know it’s not your fault I know I told you not to worry I don’t know what I’m even sorry about And maybe there’s nothing at all I tried to explain but the words left me behind Will you even listen this time? CHORUS Tell me if you can Please pick up the phone No matter what I tell you, don’t leave me alone Tell me if you can Just a quick hello You’re one of the few things that could ever bring me home Could ever bring me home VERSE 2 I know you hoped that it’d be different I did what I could to cut the distance down And at this point it’s not my fault You know I’m trying figure it out We both know I’m lying to you right now And if you want to stay, it’s your call I tried not to need you and leave it all behind Will you even miss me this time? [CHORUS] BRIDGE Someday you’ll admit that you need a better friend Someday I’ll admit that I’ve wanted this to end So tell me one more time that you’ll be right here by my side For long enough for you to turn away, I’ll be fine [CHORUS]

Lyrics: Come on home, my darlin’ I need you near My world is falling apart, and Your voice is all I wanna hear Tell me about all the secrets you found In that video game that you like Tell me how all my worries and doubts Will disappear in daylight Come back home, baby It’s been way too long I kind of hoped that maybe I would feel better with this song I miss the lights that were shining above us Bringing our colors to life I miss the nights when time forgot us As we forgot the time I just need a reason to get up today cause I’m running kind of low Come on home, baby Come on home (Dun. Dun. Bass drop) Come on home, my darlin’ Let’s get out of here Let’s hide ourselves the garden And let the world disappear Tell me about all the places we’ll go When the world doesn’t feel as on fire I just want to know I won’t be alone When we make it through this alive Come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home, my darlin’ I need you near My world is falling apart, and Your voice is all I wanna hear
