Dance Away 05:43
VERSE Freedom tastes just as good on my lips as you once did Freedom breathes just as sweetly or perhaps moreso As it rains inside I can see all the light It sparkles down and trickles in I just can’t leave you without a fight But at least I see without film CHORUS Bend then hold then dance away They say it makes me stronger Fold my heart and lock it away I’ll be damned to hurt longer Bend then hold then dance away They say it makes me stronger Fold my heart and lock it away I’ll be damned to hurt longer Give her a new page and she’ll write all over it but I’ll never ask her to stay Cord is stripped I stand alone Your prizes won, your gains acquired But do you really have what you desire? INTERLUDE Bend, don’t break Love with your ears, your arms, your mouth Live for you And never stray Bend, don’t break Love with your ears, your arms, your mouth Live for you And never sway

Hooks 06:02
VERSE 1 Lead: Cards fall in shades of three Backup: Like strands of your hair, wound through my fingertips Lead: With all of your stolen parts Backup: You’d think they’d be able to find you Lead: But they can’t Backup: So I will Lead: Knowing you is half of what Backup: Makes my hands move in time Lead: If you were only able to see Backup: Through your inconsistency Lead: But you can’t CHORUS push and pull lips eyes wait stop and fall to me I know you’ll see apart from me there is no one that sees what you’ll be and then you say wait for me lips eyes wait stop and fall to me VERSE 2 Lead: I know I can never be Backup: The girl you want or what you need Lead: stopping before you even start Backup: what’s the point, you’ll never see Lead: so you can’t Backup: but I will Lead: it doesn’t matter anyway Backup: you’ll fall again, again my prey Lead: I’m too kind to let you go Backup: or perhaps not enough to let you know

Clarity 06:02
VERSE I wait, watch, and see the stones fall from the sky. I think you ought to feel more pearls than I can breathe. Time can’t take my eyes from me; my heart stays the same. Blur the world into a thousand raindrops-- I see you clearly. Listen to the words melt into small time capsules; sync your tongue to mine. Show me the kindness of your careless glance-- you pull me so brightly. CHORUS Collapse our thoughts into one wordless look to see you always beside me. Hooks that spell our days until all we can see is timelessness; I dream best with you. BRIDGE Impossible all I know is you We have never met But I’ve known you before Unbelievable all I need is you When you move it’s like I feel you in my skin Uncontrollable all I want is you Dreamt you into life we’ve done this a thousand times Unstoppable all I see is you We’re not ready yet but (together) the story has started now

VERSE 1 always two to choose but seven choices to make write the wrongs of it in your book I’ll always be just a novel to you you only want what is too late CHORUS you asked me to use words to seduce you and music is my voice and pen my weapon the place I look when I have fallen and the time I see when I wake up VERSE 2 break in three can’t seem to find what exactly is in a mind felt since birth but clear at last million shards of her falling past VERSE 3 face and lip to see the truth in me you only make what you can't need
5.
VERSE 1 I can’t turn you off and you’re not here to turn on I can’t lift my head and not know you’re there in the corner around the bend of my thoughts staring at me in the dark (but) not thinking of me near enough CHORUS Give me half a thought You’ll never go back Give me half a thought You’ll never go back VERSE 2 I can’t let you go when you want nothing but to come I can’t kiss on her when I feel you there in the corner around the bend of my thoughts reaching for me in the dark (but) not nearly close enough BRIDGE See me, know me, breathe me, breathe me See me, know me, breathe me
