I'm Ready 03:11
Hey, you feelin' something? I say I'm all for jumping off this cliff. Yeah, this is it, or could be, anyway. Hey, don't act suprised. I say let's take the dive off this cliff. Yeah, this is it, or could be, anyway. I'm ready if you're ready. Well, I'm ready, are you ready? 'Cause my heart is breaking while you're taking your time. No telling where we're going, but I'm going if you're going. Just tell me, baby, am I wasting my time? So, you're far away and I make it through the day, but head on my pillow and I'm missing you to death. Dreams can't get me close to you and neither can the coast. These beaches are no remedy for missing you to death. I'm ready if you're ready. Well, I'm ready, are you ready? 'Cause my heart is breaking while you're taking your time. No telling where we're going, but I'm going if you're going. Just tell me, baby, am I wasting my time? And if you go then let me know, 'cause I'll be right behind you. Now is not the time to change your mind. Are you in or are you out? Say yes. I'm ready if you're ready. Well, I'm ready, are you ready? 'Cause my heart is breaking while you're taking your time. No telling where we're going, but I'm going if you're going, and I'm fine with waiting while you're taking you're time.

Well I'm sitting here in silence and I'm feeling so discouraged. 'Cause I only want to call you, but I just don't have the courage. And it seems like only yesterday, things were going fine. It's funny how our lives can change in only seconds time. And I know I'll miss the bad jokes, and the way you never called. I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall as we lay there in the darkness. Try to understand it all. Understand it all. Couldn't understand at all. I'm sorry that I never could quite say this to your face. Always hiding behind melody lines, hooks that keep me safe. And I know this may be catchy but I know you can't relate, so what's possible's impossible, and that I won't debate. But I know I'll miss the bad jokes, and the way you never called. I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall as we lay there in the darkness. Try to understand it all. Understand it all. Couldn't understand at all. So don't take this the wrong way. This is nothing like the past. I'm fine and I am okay with the fact that this won't last. And I'll try to fix my problem, sorry I was so afraid of what could've been, what should've been, oh what a mess I've made... 'Cause I know I'll miss the bad jokes, and the way you never called. I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall as we lay there in the darkness. Try to understand it all. Understand it all. Couldn't understand at all.

I woke up at seven Rode the bus until eleven Called ex-lovers, and my brother Hoping someone was awake Circled around the campus In a t-shirt and pajamas As I stared out the window And my heart began to break But it's all good, 'Cause I'm no good And believe me, You don't need me. It's a big world, And I'm old news to you. I started healing Soon as I regained the feeling In my fingers pressed so hard Against that steel the night before I wrote another love song But my heart, it wouldn't sing along My head agreed, I didn't need To try and right the wrongs But it's all good, 'Cause I'm no good And believe me, You don't need me. It's a big world, And I'm old news to you. I woke up at seven Rode the bust until eleven Called ex-lovers, and my brother, Hoping someone was awake

Let's Leave 04:04
Well I never took a shortcut out I don't know about you And looking back is so damn hard But I still manage to And I'm quick to call you over When I'd rather call you mine So I'll meet you in the middle I just a little time These days are keeping me up at night No way you're taking me down Let's stay awake through the morning light Let's leave this town And you keep me for the lonely days I swear to God it's true I can't blame you 'cause I've done the same thing Many times to you There's a truth that we cannot deny 'Cause fate don't lie, my friend You're the reason for my rise, my fall, My beginning, and my end. These days are keeping me up at night No way you're taking me down Let's stay awake through the morning light Let's leave this town.

Time 03:37
I found the Holy Bible on a bench outside the courthouse And I am scared because I do not think of God, no no The thoughts that cross my mind Are neither holy, nor divine Just simple human longings for the boy who does not believe He once believed in me So I walked on and stuffed that heavy new book under my arm And then I got in my car and drove on home I thought of words he said 'Bout where we're going once we're dead But other worries fill my head It's selfish and I know I'm wrong But I'll miss him when he's gone Yeah I still fear the black But there's no looking back And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear Can't tell which way to go I doubt we'll ever know Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here 'Cause time's all we've got here I made it home, unlocked the door, and tossed that book onto the floor Where it sat waiting like I'm waiting for the truth, so I put it in a box under my bed, with all those silly things I've kept And I will leave it there unread, so I can get back to Figuring out how I'll get through today and tomorrow Yeah I still fear the black But there's no looking back And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear Can't tell which way to go I doubt we'll ever know Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here 'Cause time's all we've got here And if it's just gonna end, what's the point of it all? Call it quits, cut out early, this is surely your fault When I fall back to you, I am through, I am through Oh but I do...I do... Yeah I still fear the black But there's no lookin' back And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear Can't tell which way to go I doubt we'll ever know Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here 'Cause time's all we've got here

I've got a feeling I know it all too well I'm getting even And I'm going straight to hell For all the thoughts that I'm thinking I think I'll stick around I found a ship to sink And you're going down, down down I've got a feeling I think I need your touch- -me if you feel it Oh god it hurts so much To be the bearer of bad news We barely left the ground I know you did what you had to But you're going down, down, down So lie your way out of this one again Cry? I think I won't this time. I'll take you for all that you are. All that you are All that you are A fading scar Won't leave a mark I'm off the deep end Still swimming fast and hard Against your current But my current state Won't get me far I'll keep you closer now You bring me down But I don't care Don't bother lookin for me You won't find me anywhere You won't find me anywhere You won't find me anywhere I've got a feeling I know it all too well I'm getting even And I'm going straight to hell For all the thoughts that I'm thinking I think I'll stick around I found a ship to sink And you're going down, down down

If I had another choice I'd make it in a second if I had another chance I'd make it from the start If my heavy heart was strong enough I'd stay and let you keep it But to know you is to love you And I don't want to love you anymore. It's selfish and I'm sorry, But you know I had to do it And I'll miss you every second, But you know it's for the best. If my weary heart were well enough I'd stay and let you keep it But to know you is to love you And I don't want to love you anymore. You know I never meant To go and throw away our future And I guess I can't expect To ever hear from you again If my broken heart were brave enough I'd stay and let you keep it But to know you is to love you And I don't want to love you anymore. I'm doing better now, I know you'll be okay without me.

What I Need 04:18
I've got plans to make But planning might be risky I've got time to waste if you will waste it with me And I know I dont know you well but this could be good I can tell So won't you keep me company please? Lately I've been spending my time under the covers wishing you were hiding with me wash away the world cause nothing that I've ever felt compares to what is happening now maybe I am crazy but I'd like to be your girl So strange to finally feel like what I need is there and I'm no longer scared yeah all my inhibitions vanish into the night air and you and me will be what we will be only time will tell so I guess we'll see twenty years is long to wait I've battled broken hearts I'm great at being really independent but its not as fun as sharing songs and sharing thoughts and making out in parking lots and being so inspired by the things that we could do So keep me by your side, i'll stick with you, I swear cause I'm no longer scared and all my inhibitions vanish into the night air and you and me will be what we will be only time will tell so I guess we'll see and all the problems we have to endure I've been through all kinds of problems before and these are nothing at all I assure you the good outweighs the bad, times a million yeah! I don't care cause I'm no longer scared and all my inhibitions vanish into the night air and you and me will be what we will be only time will tell so I guess we'll see

Every time I think I'm feeling better, I feel better off alone. I'm better off alone. Every time I go out thinking, "this could be the night", I change my tone. I'm better off at home. I'm better off alone. I'm better off at home. 'Cause I don't want to be here. I don't want to see you have the time of your life, the time of your life. And I just want to let go, but you had me from the get go. Have the time of your life, the time of your life without me. Every time I feel like giving up you always seem to change my mind. It happens every time. And every time I think we're going forward we start going in rewind. It happens every time. It happens every time. And so I'll change my mind. I don't want to be here. I don't want to see you have the time of your life, the time of your life. And I just want to let go, but you had me from the get go. Have the time of your life, the time of your life without me. Without me. Without me. The time of your life without me.

The End 04:12
Boy, you make it easy to forget we ever met All this talk of keepin' touch, there's been no talkin' yet So tell me when you're ready, man, and I'll call you my friend But I don't mind Calling this the end Boy, you make it easy for a girl to lose her head Losing sleep, and losing time, hey, losers never win So shake my hand, call it a tie, and I'll call you my friend, But I don't mind Calling this the end Boy, you make it easy for a memory to bend Fact and fiction fading into one confusing blend So I'll remember good things now, and I'll call you my friend But I don't mind Calling this the end There are people who have changed my life And there are people I have left behind If you ain't up to it, I'll let it die But it's up to you to change my mind Boy, you've got it easy, leaving, starting over fresh Abandoning beginnings that you brought to life and left So pack your bags and say goodbye, and call me sometime, friend 'Cause I don't mind Calling this the end The End.
12.
I don't care where you're coming from. I'm never going back. You could beg And you could plead But I wouldn't recommend that. The day has come To say my piece But calm and quiet, I will keep Your secret's mine And I won't be the one To try and raise the dead So rest your worried head Remember what I said You chose to do The things you did Back then And this is just the end My stranger, not my friend No, you are not my friend. I know, I know about the girls before I know, I know what happened on my floor So stay in Boston, babe. Don't hold your breath. I already forgot we ever met.
