If You Were Here

It's 4:30am and the lights on the streets are still on
It's still dark enough to need them
But I see the sunlight coming from the horizon
And I’m driving on towards the glow
All alone
Now the sky turned the colors that I haven't seen for a while
I had almost forgotten
It feels good to know that they still make me notice it's there
And I think that you'd notice too
If you were here to see this
If you were here to see for yourself
If you were here to see this
I’d have everything that this picture is missing
Now when I hit the coastline, I'm barely awake at the wheel
That I'd been gripping for hours
The site of the waves crashing down keeps me perfectly still
And I'm not surprised to find you where you wanted to be
With your eyes on the ocean
You tell me about the most beautiful sky that you've seen
And you say to me
If you were here to see this
If you were here to see for yourself
If you were here to see this
I’d have everything that this picture would need
Now 4:30am feels like years ago now that I'm here
But you'll watch me go on' we'll go on
And you'll be here to see this
Oh and you’ll be here to see for yourself
When you'll be here to see this
Then I'll have everything that this picture would need
I’d have everything that I'd need
Now the sun's going down and I find myself driving alone
Heading back towards the glow
'cause if I chose to stay then this place would feel too much like home
And I'm sorry it took me so long to get to you
Now the sky's turning colors
But I know you're watching it too

I used to be so careful at making first impressions
‘cause they’re hard to change
I used to be someone else before I knew you
And maybe that’s the reason for all of these mistakes I’ve made
Now I’m a little too late
So maybe I missed out on the other side of you
The one that I’ll never get to know
The one that I’ll never get to know
And I can’t figure out this other side of you
The one that you never show
And it’s getting to me that I can’t get to you
I’d take it slower if we could try this all again
But that would get us nowhere
And what we built up would be broken with words and honesty
So if I found a way to tell you everything I need to say
I’d be a little too late
So maybe I missed out on the other side of you
The one that I’ll never get to know
The one that I’ll never get to know
And I can’t figure out this other side of you
The one that you never show
And it’s getting to me that I can’t get to you
So maybe you missed out on the things that I was meant to say to you
But I held out, all for the better
‘cause you’re the one that I’ll never know
Oh, you’re the one that I’ll never get to know
You’re the one that I’ll never know
No, you’re the one that I’m not suppose to know
So maybe I missed out on the other side of you
The one that I’m not suppose to see
I’m getting used to the way you’ve let this be
And I can’t figure out this other side of you
The one that you never show
Oh, the one that you never show
And I’ll never let you know that you’ve gotten to me
Oh, you’ve gotten to me

Perfect Storm
04:59
|

Do you feel this anxious silence that I feel too?
I think this might be the calm before the storm
Oh, what a perfect storm
We’ve spent way too long chasing it down to let it go now
But if you ever back out, I want you to know
I can’t chase it alone
Now you found something to believe in
But I can tell you’re holding out
We’re standing in the eye of a storm we feel tonight
It’s coming down
Last chance in this fight, that we all want to survive
It’s coming down
Now are you all the things you wanted to become when you were young?
Back then we thought that this was gonna be easy
We all thought so wrong
Now rain will start to fall, speak up now
If you don’t think that you can face it all because...
We’re standing in the eye of a storm we feel tonight
It’s coming down
Last chance in this fight, that we all want to survive
It’s coming down
Oh, and it’s getting closer
I think this might be the calm before the storm
Yeah, I think this might be the calm before the storm
Yeah, I think this might be the perfect kind of storm
Oh, what a perfect...
I can feel it getting closer
And when it hits us, we’ll watch it come down

Breathless
03:28
|

Oh, this air is thinner than I had remembered
And I can’t remember a time
When i felt the way I do now
Oh, this air is easy for you to breathe in
You’ve been so perfectly molded
and you only saw what you do
I exhale
No, I can’t take this
Now I’m left breathless for everything you gave to me
I’m fighting with the air I breathe
Oh, this air is full of the tension you left here
And I feel it filling the room
And I’m not sure just how to break it
So I try to keep my head above your waters
‘cause you know the right way to swim
If you only saw what you do
I exhale
No, I can’t take this
Now I’m left breathless for everything you gave to me
I’m fighting with the air I breathe
And your world is only everywhere I want to be
And this is what it does to me
I think I need a moment to catch my breath
No, I can’t take this

Bullet
03:54
|

Times like these shed unfamiliar light
On everybody’s colors that they hide
It’s not about the way that you fall down
What matters is the way that you climb out
So climb out
When the clouds turn into thunderstorms
When your pulse starts beating a little more
I wanted to believe you wouldn’t run
But you’re a bullet in a gun
You aim to pierce the heart
But you broke the ones you loved before
You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
You aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you’re alive
Everyone you know is looking out
But you can’t get yourself to come around
And they’re saying the things you know you didn’t wanna hear
While you’re just dodging bullets left and right
When the sparks ignite and turn to flames
And you watch the fire burn away
Once the smoke has cleared you’re all alone
You aim to pierce the heart
But you broke the ones you loved before
You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
You aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you’re alive
You’re a bullet in a gun...
You aim to pierce the heart
And you broke the ones you loved before
And you try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
If I could slow you down then maybe you would understand
That you aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you’re alive

The Shadows
06:34
|

You reached your hand out and I was quick to take it
Like sunlight it just fades away
And now I’m holding onto nothing
I reached my heart out and you were quick to break it
‘cause I wasn’t enough
But you go, and you leave me with the shadows
of all the things you didn’t want to keep
Now I know that you’ll forget me with the shadows
and in the dark I see that you’re not meant for me
I want to find out what it takes to reach you
When I’m close enough to hear you breathe
But you still keep your distance
In this dim light, it’s easy not to notice
or I’m not enough
But you go, and you leave me with the shadows
of all the things you didn’t want to keep
Now I know that you’ll forget me with the shadows
and in the dark I see that you’re not meant for me
I reach my hand out, it just fades to nothing
I’ll fade to nothing
And you won’t let me reach you
And in the dark I see
No, you won’t let me reach you
But you go, and you leave me with the shadows
of all the things you didn’t want to keep
Now I know that you’ll forget me with the shadows
and in the dark I see that you’re not meant for me
Oh, don’t leave me in the shadows
In the dark I see
