If my life's a rollercoaster then I'm barely hanging on
Forget these 'ups and downs' why can't it just level out?
Cuz I get so high then I get so low
And my heart it beats and beats for You then leaves me on my own
So tell me tell me if I'm broken when will I be fixed?
Cuz it's getting to be so long now I just wanna give up on it
Here come's the breakdown, I'm breaking down...
I wanna run away from here do you wanna disappear with me?
I sound like a broken record; I wish I could run from myself
I wanna spend a day outside my body
Crawl into the wall or turn invisible
I'd observe the world disembodied
But that'd only make things worse
One more day I didn't well preform at work
Another month without her here and one more month alone
I should call but I don't have the change and those pay-phones
Are getting so hard to find these days
Here come's the break down, I'm breaking down....
I wanna run away from here do you wanna disappear with me?
Come on and disappear come on and disappear with me

Chuck vs The Goodbye

When we first met I was in over my head
not self-assured, no confidence
But I made you smile and you made me cry
When our first kiss ended with 'goodbyes'
How can a nerd win the heart of a spy
Who commands a room like the stars in the sky?
Somehow I won you over and we took on the world
I felt so safe with such a beautiful girl
But no you don't remember a thing
You're crushing my heart but I will never leave
Cuz I don't regret anything
You're losing yourself but please don't give up on me
We were in the hospital when I proposed
You didn't even say 'yes' we had already known
We'd spend the rest of our lives together
We wed and were so in love
We thought this would all be enough
You said you'd never forget our dreams
Like when we carved our names into the walls
Of that house we didn't own yet

Gorgeous would you notice if I wrote you a song
That brought you to tears? You probably would
But the cold has frozen the ink in my pen
And I can never again write you the song that you deserve
But I'll try my hardest with a few simple words:
Your smile is like the sun
Your laughter has me undone
And if this night would never end I'd spend forever with you
The only thing better then this night sky
Is how it reflects off your blue eyes
I know I am getting more and more cliche
But we're getting closer each and every day
We'll walk across this room as bride and groom
And dance on the stage
And in your wedding dress we'll dance 'til no one's left
Honestly, if this night would never end
Then how would we know where our story goes?
So I look forward to me and you and blank pages
You keep my feet on the ground and my head in the sky
I'm your shoulder to help you stay strong when you cry
Ain't got no money but I'll give you my life
Every day you impress me my beautiful wife

What does 'best friends' mean to you?
Maybe I'll find a clue in all the lies you're spreading
(Lies you're spreading)
I never thought I would see the day
You would turn your back and walk away
I guess I expected way too much from you...
Remember all the times that we hung out?
Now I don't trust a thing that comes out of your mouth
So hold your tongue or I'll sever it with this pen
We were best friends until the end guess not tonight
Seriously what are you trying to prove?
Remember no one's perfect when you call me out
But if I'm the fake then why am I standing my ground
While you run away?
Don't smirk they're gonna find you out
And I'm gonna leave you now
It's just a falling out but you're gonna need me
You are leaving you behind
You're selfish and I've tried
To bail you out but I can't find a reason
You tell me you're in control but you're the only one I know
That wants a downward spiral
You can't look me in the eyes and tell me partial truths
Cuz there's nothing left inside of you
All those winter seasons we hit the slopes
All the summer nights we stayed up through
All the stories all the times I shared with you
I used to be your best friend
We'll never be friends again
Back-stabber is not the right term
I'm ok but you're ruining yourself
I'm ok but you're ruining yourself...

Car Crash

She gathers her things and heads for the door
Don't worry she says I've done this before
She picks up her keys
And they small talk some more
Thanks for the offer but I'm pretty sure
It's a cold winter night lots of ice on the road
Her brain is still spinning can't wait to get home
But the lights the wrong color and she couldn't have known
She slams on her brakes as she drops her phone...
Glass fills the air and the seconds slow down
All you hear is that terrible sound
Can you hear the screams?
What does all this mean?
Just one more day...
Just one more she says to herself
As the sounds drowned out in her mind
Just to make things right and say goodbye
To her friends and family and that boy she met one summer
Cuz no one's ever loved her like he has
A tear rolls down her check
As the sounds drowned out in her mind
Cuz 17 years just ain't enough time...
Just one more day...
Her reaction time was slowed due to the cause that we all know
Was that party that great anyway?
Explain that to the mother of three in the car you just hit
Those kids will be missed...

You called one last time on that miserable ride home
It was the last I set my ears on you
Ending a miserable year or two
I'm just a clown in my own parade...
I am a soldier leading a battle charge while my comrades hit the bar
What do you do when you show your friends your wounds and they claim
"It's not that bad!"
Rubbed in some salt "Now be on your way"
I didn't take it too well
I cut and cut until it bled and then I said
"Look, now what do you say?!"
They just laughed and said "You'll be OK"
Rubbed in some salt "Now be on your way"
I freaked and dug a grave to stand in
I'll not leave this spot until you side with me and all my damage
They laughed and walked away singing:
"Nobody sides with a fool!"
"Nobody sides with a fool!"
"Nobody sides with a fool!"
I lead a battle charge
Alone in my battle charge
Nobody understands....
(These wounds are self inflicted)

Thoughts of you fly through my head like the planes over Chicago
Every time they land it's like someone else is coming home
So are you coming or are you going?
I just need you to know it
Cuz I can't sleep with the turbine noise above my head
So I'll go back to bed when I can put these thoughts to rest
I know you hate the situation I just hate the frustration
Cuz you are ready and I'm debating as
Thoughts of you fly through my head like the planes over Chicago

So let's blow this out of proportion
I'm an X-Wing and you're a Star Destroyer
I think I'm losing this one
I think I'm losing
I think I've lost
So sad sad man
With your sad plans
Everything will work out in the end
It works out in the end
So sad sad man
With your sad plans
Everything you did will go away
So go away so go away just go
Autumn wind blows in his face
As he digs their graves
Beneath his feet he crushes leaves
Like little dreams
He brings the winter snow and rain
But the summer's coming now to melt the pain
It works out
It works out
But not for you

I know it's asking a lot but I've got to know
Do I have a shot? This winter's getting so cold
And the campfires we sat around have gone out with the fall
But I still long for another night with you
So girl just tell me the truth,
I know it's asking a lot, but do I have a shot with you?
The truth...
Is it normal when I only dream of you?
(Tell me the truth)
All I need to know is that you dream of me too
This young love's so complicated and I am getting so frustrated
When I cross out the lines that don't make no sense
Re-write these feelings in present tense
I'd give you the world if I had it to offer
So girl just tell me the truth,
I know it's asking a lot, but do I have a shot with you?
The truth...
This winter's getting so cold, and I am getting so bold
I can't say what I mean to say but I'll write a whole song about it
I know it's asking a lot
So girl just tell me the truth
