Wake up as the sun is setting
And reality we're just forgetting now,
You're wondering how
The sharp pain of the cut that bled when you tumbled steps
Landed on your head, you're down
You're tapping out
So head up, you're not the first
Need to erase the thoughts that cause you all this hurt
Don't look back now, run forever
Take my hand and we'll get through together
Hit fast forward, we're making progress
They can't stop us we'll swim right through Loch Ness
Don't tell me that you're underrated,
It doesn't matter what they say, you're the ace of spades
Take one step forward, one step back,
And you'll realize that your life it's right on track
Relax you're only 19
You should be out living like the Glamour Queen
No need to panic, everybody's manic
Just smile back at me
So head up, you're not the first
Need to erase the thoughts that cause you all this hurt
Don't look back now, run forever
Take my hand and we'll get through together
Hit fast forward, we're making progress
They can't stop us we'll swim right through Loch Ness
I will not be stopped or cheated
This life won't leave me defeated
Reflect on the past, the horror
Now's time, it's called moving forward

Laying awake late into the night
A cold sweat running down my head
Sometimes it feels I'd be better off dead
But the memories they don't blur with time
They just keep playing over and over in my mind
Remember when I called you mine
While inside I'm feeling empty
At times the future's looking bleak
Do you hold something against me
Why's it for you it's such a breeze
Everything's moving slower now
The clock ticks longer each day
The time it slowly wastes away
But the time is never wasted
It goes unsaid
While thoughts are running through my head
While inside I'm feeling empty
At times the future's looking bleak
Do you hold something against me
Why's it for you it's such a breeze
So I've struggled these few past months
It's something you might never know
Cause while you're off into a new life
I'm having trouble letting go
As I struggle with my life
I try so hard to say goodbye
When the words run through my lips
A part of me it dies inside
And though the time, it feels it creeps
My world it gets brighter slowly
And as my dark past fades away
I know everything will be okay
While inside I'm feeling empty
At times the future's looking bleak
Do you hold something against me
Why's it for you it's such a breeze
So I've struggled these few past months
It's something you might never know
Cause while you're off into a new life
I'm having trouble letting go
Did you ever struggle to let go
Cause I'm having trouble letting go
Did you ever struggle to let go
Cause I'm having trouble letting go

Five More Minutes

He arrives and rushes through the door
His laces tied, his Fozzieris sweep the floor
Back at home there's a set of twins laying quiet in their crib
But he's working late just for bonus pay
He can't appreciate it, instead he just needs
Five more minutes, pushing limits,
Pick up the pace, or prepare yourself for the wrath you'll face
We live in fast forward, don't take time, just ignore
It's all insanity, but if time stood still
Would the world say "Seize the Day"
Monday there's a soccer game, on tuesday parent conferences
And teaching them guitar
And before he blinks he lifts his head and they're off driving in a car
But he's busy working overtime, making a precious dime
He doesn't realize now, can't lift his head
He's laying on his death bed, wishing he had
Five more minutes, pushing limits,
Pick up the pace, or prepare yourself for the wrath you'll face
We live in fast forward, don't take time, just ignore
It's all insanity, but if time stood still
Would the world say "Seize the Day"
He arrives, and sits outside the door
Wishing he had five more
Or another day, wish he could find a way
There's so much left to say
But his time is now

Koala

Dear you,
I used to think that we'd grow old
Remember winter in the cold
When you'd curl up close and ask me to hold on
And I held right on through the summer
I never worried about another, thought nothing could ever tear us apart
You were a koala, and I was eucalyptus
I heard this world could be quite vicious
But naive me had failed to believe them
They were insane like Nostradamus
Conspiracies like trying to bomb us
Were rumors that seemed far off and crazy
We used to talk about our dreams and yours were just like mine
But what separates you from me is you were fucking with my mind
Remember when we used to mock them
Now you're living life just like them
The wistful breeze blows through the trees
The emptiness it drowns me in the sea
Remember when we used to mock them
Now you're living life just like them
The wistful breeze blows through the trees
The emptiness it drowns me in the sea
I never thought a year ago I'd be writing here this song
I never thought I'd have to wonder where did I go wrong
I thought it'd be another one that you'd like to sing along
I never thought we'd be alone, looking back
Now that you're gone
Remember when we used to mock them
Now you're living life just like them
The wistful breeze blows through the trees
The emptiness it drowns me
Remember when we used to mock them
Now you're living life just like them
The wistful breeze blows through the trees
The emptiness it drowns me in the sea
We used to talk about our dreams and yours were just like mine
But what separates you from me is you were fucking with my mind
Remember when we used to mock them
Now you're living life just like them
The wistful breeze blows through the trees
The emptiness it drowns me
It drowns me in the sea
