Rooftop 02:55
Rooftop We spent most days on the rooftop Smoking cigarettes, singing love songs In the parked car up all night long Sat in stairwells as out hearts broke in two Most days we spent together ‘cause We realized they go so fast Sometimes I get to wondering if These perfect days will last Skipping classes just to hang out Sat in grasses of the places we knew Concerts called us, spent all our bucks Concrete gargoyles looking over the roof Most days we spent together ‘cause We realized they go so fast Sometimes I get to wondering if These perfect days will last We spent most days on the rooftop

Two Feet On The Ground Well I sold the last of my things I’m packing up tonight I’m heading for the hills It’s only me, these clothes and this car Some ragged dollar bills and my old guitar I’ve stood all I can stand My mission for tonight, to find a better man He’s not a thing like you, oh no With different eyes, a brighter smile and better clothes Well you can see I’m moving on So did you think that you had won? I’m letting go, I’m sound Landing two feet on the ground Well other guys, they’ve come and gone But in my heart you were the only one Feelings I thought you returned You told me you would rather be with her Of all the people in the world Of all the lies, of all the girls I’ve stood all I can stand My mission for tonight, to find a better man He’s not a thing like you, oh no With different eyes, a brighter smile and better clothes Well you can see I’m moving on So did you think that you had won? I’m letting go, I’m sound Landing two feet on the ground My home my love where have you gone? You picked your war and boy, you won There might not be anyone better But I can not wait on you forever I’ve stood all I can stand My mission for tonight, to find a better man He’s not a thing like you, oh no With different eyes, a brighter smile and better clothes Well you can see I’m moving on So did you think that you had won? No, no I’m letting go, I’m sound Landing two feet on the ground I’m letting go, I’m sound Landing two feet on the ground

Wreck 03:12
Wreck I have got to stop thinking that maybe if I was different I’d have you (I have got to stop thinking that maybe if I was different I’d have you) ‘Cause I am through with you (But I’m not over you) Patience, how I need it when I’m waiting for you, pining for you But baby you don’t love me And maybe that’s no tragedy at all ‘Cause I don’t need you darling I’ve been so afraid of wanting you But I’m free from longing after you (I’m longing after you and) I’ve been a wreck I have been such a fool But I am through with you (But I’m not over you) Keep it to yourself my dear (I have something to say) I tell you, I don’t wanna hear it Your romance doesn’t woo me (To have you) Remember when you threw me out (I have to) I can’t believe you’re coming back for more (I’m coming back for more) I don’t need you darling I’ve been so afraid of wanting you But I’m free from longing after you (I’m longing after you and) I’ve been a wreck I have been such a fool But I am through with you (But I’m not over you, no) I was thinking about love today (Thinkin’ about it) wondering am I ever gonna be ok with (Love, love, love, love) The never ever ending give and take ‘Cause I don’t need you darling (I need you baby) I’ve been so afraid of wanting you (You know I’ve been wanting you) But I’m free from longing after you (I’m longing after you and) I’ve been a wreck I have been such a fool But I am through with you (But I’m not over you) I have got to stop thinking that maybe If I was different

Not The One 03:16
Not The One I’ve been thinking about you babe, since last night Trying to think of a way to make you love me Alright, I know that’s crazy Let’s face it, kid, you’re not The One for me See the face in the sunrise this morning I was thinking about it babe when you said I was boring I let it phase me Lets face it kid, there’s nothing left to see You’re just a temptation my heart wants to chase, You don’t mean a thing My heart skips a beat when I see your face, but you’re not what I need I’ve been laughing all day long, just wondering What you thought about me when my nervous words were stumbling I played your fool, but Lets face it kid, I’m not The One for you You’re just a temptation my heart wants to chase, You don’t mean a thing My heart skips a beat when I see your face, but you’re not what I need You know that I like you, that isn’t the thing Just doesn’t feel right We don’t go together despite what I feel or how hard I try You’re just a temptation my heart wants to chase, You don’t mean a thing My heart skips a beat when I see your face, but you’re not what I need You’re just a temptation my heart wants to chase, You don’t mean a thing My heart skips a beat when I see your face, but you’re not what I need

Paper Heart 03:33
Paper Heart I can’t find the words to reconnect with your heart We’re always growing and I guess we grew apart You’re not the same, I guess it’s meant to be that way We promised that we’d find our love again one day You let go willingly, I’ve got myself to blame I’m not the same, I guess it’s meant to be that way Did I expect that you would come back for me Did I think that somehow we were meant to be No, not at all, not at all , not at all We were just in love at seventeen These tears I cry are real but they are not for you I’ve learned that every heart that loves will break in two It’s the same, Every love has felt this pain You’re a theif, you robbed my while I closed my eyes I can’t escape the wreckage of my heart’s first fire I’m burning still, burning still, burning still Reckless love was bound to fail I’m not trying to shift the blame, I know I’ve caused my share of pain But tonight the broken one is me My human heart is torn, I’ll replace it with a paper one So I won’t hurt anymore Yes we’ve changed, we’re not the same We can’t expect to be that way
