Hold my hand Hold my hand Hold my hand Hold my hand Hold my hand Hold my hand I don't wanna stand alone I need you more than you'll ever know Hold my hand

Metaphor 03:44 video
Thick in the fog and lost in the woods I'm not alone, but that's not always good Do you know what you're gonna do When there's a monster after You call my name, I turn around You're lying there you're lying on the ground Should I stay or should I run away When I think for once I could save the day Things could go just like this or we could dismiss it Together we could find some light Help each other through the darkest of the night The wildfire spread too far now we don't even know where we are A metaphor for me would be something like my car It seems sturdy but inside it's falling apart And the highway I coast is what I'll miss the most cause I already lost my heart Stay close we're being followed Fear not, these aren't the gallows My monster leans and hears your words I wish we were free just like the Birds fly around as my head spins I finally figured out how this is gonna end Dear monster I know what to do If I fear you, you should fear me too A metaphor for me would be something like my car It seems sturdy but inside it's falling apart And the highway I coast is what I'll miss the most cause I already lost my heart A metaphor for me would be something like my car It seems sturdy but inside it's falling apart And the highway I coast is what I'll miss the most cause I already lost my heart Things could go just like this Or we could dismiss it And the highway I coast is what I'll miss the most cause I already lost my heart

New Years 02:30
You don't have to think if you don't want to You can let it take control you know you've got the beat deep inside of you It's been a rough week, maybe month, maybe year Maybe things were never good It's suddenly not so clear It's a New year, let's have a good time Get up, get up, get up, get up, get down Dance your ass off like nobody else is around It's a new year and we're gonna have a good time Your heart was broken so you wanted to go and have a good time You threw a few back and those things started to slowly leave your mind The beat was like one-two-one-two-three-four And your feet started to move You couldn't control anything inside of you anymore You grab the person standing next to you and now you're dancing, you're dancing, you're dancing You're not going to tell me how to have a good time I can do all that just fine Get up, get up, get up, get up, get down Dance your ass off like nobody else is around It's a new year and we're gonna have a good time I said... Get up, get up, get up, get up, get down Dance your ass off like nobody else is around It's a new year and we're gonna have a good time Get up, get up, get up, get up, get down

Couch 04:14 video
I held you in my arms And I kept you from hitting the ground I always loved you Even though I never made a sound And those who've come and gone Can live within me and always linger on (yeah) Whether it be socks or some loose change Or flowers picked with Grandma at a different age And when you went away I swore on my seat that I'd see you again someday How time seems to fly when you're having fun Oh my but how you've grown And the stitching of your soul has become unsewn (yeah) You start to age as I whether I know we can't always be together I held you in my arms and I kept you from hitting the ground I held you in my arms and I kept you from hitting the ground I held you in my arms (I held you in my arms) I held you in my arms (I held you in my arms) I held you in my arms and I kept you from hitting the ground

I know who you are Together we have grown and we've come so far But now I think it's time for you to leave I can't stop screaming I live my whole life just seeming Like this is as good as it'll get And this is a nightmare I don't what's got you down But you're sadder than Charlie Brown If I had the words to save you Don't you think that that's what I would do But I can't Not anymore We were lost within the woods Surrounded by our friends and they understood That this is not who we really are That's when you grabbed my hand You said "Oh baby, don't you understand You are like the air that I breathe Only you kill me" I don't what's got you down But you're sadder than Charlie Brown If I had the words to save you Don't you think that that's what I would do But I can't Not anymore I don't what's got you down, But you're sadder than Charlie Brown If I had the words to save you Don't you think that that's what I would do But I can't Not anymore

Let's Dance 02:58
The air is getting thicker i think I'm sinking quicker I'm beginning to lose what I cling to I'm forgetting what is real and whats just a dream I'm forgetting how it feels Everything Just grab my hand Let's dance Let's dance I remember when I was young Almost forgetting where I am from All the heartbreak combine that Made me slowly lose my mind And now I am just hollow Simply put I'm hollow Working at a rate of ritardando Just grab my hand Let's dance Let's dance It's over, I cannot belive that it's over I cannot belive the world drove her do do such a thing It really makes you think was she really the worst thing that she could be Or was she someone lost In the cosmic dust Just grab my hand Let's dance Let's dance

Run 02:46
Nothings gonna get done Until the battles been won Not a second before it doesn't seem to sit right The tossing throughout the night It's neverending There's something in the air It's almost everywhere You've gotta run, run You've gotta run, run away There's something in the air It's almost everywhere You've gotta run, run You've gotta run, run away Somewhere in the moonlight screams miss Luna's only love The man with the wired face cries to the stars above Will no one answer him, is he but a fool Or has the world lost a sense of what can be a tool He stands upon a fallen tree and listens to the wind His weathered hand reaches out as if it's towards a friend As the sun starts to break the horizon He dissipates There's something in the air It's almost everywhere You've gotta run, run You've gotta run, run away And I don't need to tell you If any of this is true You'll have to trust me It shouldn't have to matter Strikeout the batter Or watch from the side

I saw you at the roller disco Your skates had wings and they were made of gold Your spandex outfit outlined your bad intentions You were rolling on just one foot You were the king and that had to be understood No one could rock a rainbow shirt and mustache quite like you You did the grapevine on the rink We did some lines right off the sink We should have realized We're not immortalized We're gonna miss all the good times Cause we're so focused on what's wrong Life is short, but it's not over yet How quickly we seem to forget Life will pass us by as it drifts away One, two skip a few Now you're fat and 52 With four kids who look just like you And a wife named Bev What happened to the high life What happened to your pretty wife Where is the skater with the long blonde hair? You drive past the roller-rama You get filled will old nostalgia You look in the mirror and all that's left is a cheesy mustache You did the grapevine on the rink We did some lines right off the sink We should have realized We're not immortalized We're gonna miss all the good times Cause we're so focused on what's wrong Life is short, but it's not over yet How quickly we seem to forget Life will pass us by as it drifts away We're gonna miss all the good times Cause we're so focused on what's wrong Life is short, but it's not over yet How quickly we seem to forget Life will pass us by as it drifts away

I met you at a bar You shined to me like a shooting star You came up to me and said I just saw you there and now I'm glad I'm not dead You walk around like the rainclouds follow us You have no room for petty things like trust You talk about God but never about Jesus It's like this every afternoon We could walk to the store Please let me know if you don't want me anymore Cause I'll stick around until the end It sucks for you that you just so happen to be my best friend You walk around like the rainclouds follow us You have no room for petty things like trust You talk about God but never about Jesus It's like this every afternoon You walked away (You walked away from me) You had nothing more you wanted to say (To me, but you had) You said you'd maybe see me around (see me around I guess now) I didn't look at you, I just looked at the ground. You walk around here like the storm is to follow (follow us around, follow us around) You're like a pill too hard to swallow (like a prescription from a bad doctor) You're the pain upon my brow (it is the infinite, oh) You're the worst thing to me right now You walk around like the rainclouds follow us (follow us around, follow us around) You have no room for petty things like trust (You'll never trust me anyway) You talk about God but never about Jesus It's like this every afternoon

Roulette 02:04
Feeling so useless so tired and wrong Slipping into madness was never too strong I'm losing my grip now I'm off of my game I just made some new friends but they'll forget my name When I think of the young me and I think about my life And I think about the shit that I've done to get by I can't be too angry can't blame anyone else For the terrible things that I've done to myself Life can seem so long Life can seem so I took the whole bottle or what there was left I drank the tequila you left in the chest I sat in the dark waiting for it all to end I looked at my cat and felt bad for my friend When I think of the young me and I think about my life And I think about the shit that I've done to get by I can't be too angry can't blame anyone else For the terrible things that I've done to myself Life can seem so long Life can seem so
