Be wary of me. I tend to sadden all I see. If depression is an illness than I am the disease. I will stick in your thoughts, like a friend you have lost, And cling to your heart, unaware of the cost. Though I try to help. Get your problems to melt. My voice destroys any love you have felt. What I’m trying to say is please go away. I’m sorry my brain always gets in the way. So I drink to forget that we ever met. You know all starts anew after this sinking sun sets. Being so far removed has suddenly proved, I can see my own body and the parts that I move. As I flail in the air, there appears now a stare, From a million blue eyes that finally care. Where have they been? In a cage made of tin? An empty cavern with no heart to win. Now they pierce through my brain, like a bolt in the rain. I’ll do anything, if I don’t have to strain. No I haven’t been yet. It’s nice I bet. We can go anywhere this sinking sun sets. I’ve known you for years. We’ve share in our fears. Oh, what should we do, as true life nears? Somethings tells me this. It won’t be bliss. We’ll sit on the concrete, chat and remiss. Two days for grief. One more then relief. This cold that I feel, is beyond belief. My conscious is greater, so I would never hate her. It’s too bad you can’t, put off life ‘til later. Yeah, I sing to protect myself from regret. I’ll make my move after this sinking sun sets. The sun is sinking down. The sun is sinking down. The sky is getting dark and there’s no one around. The sun is sinking down. The sun is sinking down. The sky is getting dark and there’s no one around. The sun is sinking down. The sun is sinking down. Was it you or I that killed, this love that we found?

I don’t know you, but I’m trying to there’s got to be some way. To get to you, not now I’m always walking out when you’re walking in. I can’t complain. It’s not my fault. Window of opportunity won’t let me in. I miss my chance, everyday. I can’t win. I can’t win. Such a pretty girl to not know Wasting my time. I want to know. So here we are, you and I. I got your attention, oh no now what, Do I say to let you know there’s something about your that makes me smile. Just because, now I know, beauty like yours exists in this world. It’s too bad I’m too shy to say it. Instead, I’ll just hide it in a song for you. Such a pretty girl to not know Wasting my time. I want to know.

I waited for you, wondering what Could have gone wrong this time Could it have been there all along Sometimes we tell ourselves If we don’t speak it, we don’t feel it We’ll never know it. Maybe that’s why this feels so strange Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah I wish that we could carry it over And never be sober Never come to our senses But I think for now We should be happy I’ll be the true me The one you barely know And I could use a few more hours like these To balance out. All the ones I’ve allowed And when I wake up tomorrow And I put on my shoes I’ll know where they’ve been Still don’t know where they’re going Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah I wish that we could carry it over And never be sober Never come to our senses But I think for now We should be happy I’ll be the true me The one you barely know

Big Dreams 04:18
What is it that you're waiting for? Your big dreams to knock on the door It's time to get up off the floor A crooked wing may never soar Here's to all your big dreams Here's to all the big dreamers Here's to all your big breams Here's to all the big dreamers And we fight and we fight and we fight that feeling Cuz we know, cuz we know Cuz we know its meaning Yeah we fight yeah we fight yeah we fight that feeling Cuz we know, cuz we know Cuz we know We'll never stop dreaming Never stop dreaming Here's to all your big dreams Here's to all the big dreamers Here's to all your big breams Here's to all the big dreamers Here's to all your big dreams Here's to all the big dreamers Here's to all your big breams Here's to all the big dreamers
