Lyrics:
You've caught my eye
And I don't know how to look away
You've got me tongue-tied
I guess this feeling's here to stay
There's something about who you are
That I cannot define
But when you talk about your hopes and dreams
They start to sound like mine
I'm here for a good time, not a long time, so are you in or out
Honest to god, I'm thinking you might be the one they warned me about
So let's throw caution to the wind, and to our hearts be true
I'm in love with the idea of you
Saw you again last night
As you were dancing in my dreams
And I don't know if that sounds crazy
Can you tell me what it means
Cause I don't know how I should feel
But I am sick and tired of faking
If loving you's a risk that's worth the taking
Then could I be a mistake worth the making
I'm here for a good time, not a long time, so are you in or out
Honest to god, I'm thinking you might be the one they warned me about
So let's throw caution to the wind, and to our hearts be true
I'm in love with the idea of you
We are the wild ones
This world could never satisfy
We are the wild ones
Life never made us feel alive
I'm here for a good time, not a long time, so are you in or out
Honest to god, I'm thinking you might be the one they warned me about
So let's throw caution to the wind, and to our hearts be true
I'm in love with the idea of you

STAY AWAKE

Lyrics:
I've heard you say you're convinced it won't get better
And that the place you're in right now's the only place you'll ever be
I know it's hard to see the light when you feel so fucked up inside
You're losing in a fight no-one can see
I know you're scared to death that all your friends will leave you
And maybe you believe they already have
Perhaps you've told yourself they'd all be better off if you just left
And that's the way that all of this should be
I don't know all the pain you've carried or for how long you have bled
Can't silence all the demons that rage inside your head
If I can't give you what it takes to get you back up on your feet
For today, could you just stay awake with me
Would you stay awake with me
I know your heavy heart is close to breaking
And you don't have the strength to piece it back again
You catch yourself just wishing for the numbness you once felt
But then you curse it when it starts to creep back in
I don't know all the pain you've carried or for how long you have bled
Can't silence all the demons that rage inside your head
If I can't give you what it takes to get you back up on your feet
For today, could you just stay awake with me
Would you stay awake with me
Sometimes the world just doesn't make sense
You wish the ground would just swallow you whole
Feels like you're screaming, but no-one is listening
As the despair eats away at your soul
I don't know all the pain you've carried or for how long you have bled
Can't silence all the demons that rage inside your head
If I can't give you what it takes to get you back up on your feet
For today, could you just stay awake with me
Would you stay awake, please

SIREN'S SONG

Lyrics:
I've had this dance before
The faces change, but the steps remain the same
Though I'd like to point the finger
I know I'm the one to blame
I've got that siren's song in my head
And it won't go away
The hook comes creeping in
The way it has a thousand times before
Repeating every line
I lose myself to the melody once more
Got that siren's song in my head
And it won't go away
I'm stuck on repeat
Don't know how to get free
I've rehearsed all these moves
Now they're controlling me
I'm hooked on the vibe
I'm dying inside
We can do this all night
I've got nowhere to hide
I've got nowhere to hide

Lyrics:
Christ, I'm ready to put a bullet through my brain
Is that what it takes these days
To have a simple conversation with the big man
All these endless questions won't stop driving me insane
And I'm no closer to the answers
I'm just jaded enough to get by without knowing
Without understanding
Why
Why am I even here
Why can't I seem to change myself
Let alone anyone else
Why tease us all with clues without conclusions
And leave us feeling in the dark
For signs we wouldn't recognise if we found them
That's if they're even there
If all I know is to give meaningless things meaning
How can I trust my own deductions
I've met atheists with stronger faith than mine
Call me a cynic, but it's hard to keep believing
That you'd hear me from the pages
Of books I've not the energy to open
And speak out a solution
Why
Why am I even here
Why can't I seem to change myself
Let alone anyone else
Why tease us all with clues without conclusions
And leave us feeling in the dark
For signs we wouldn't recognise if we found them
That's if they're even there
I don't know what the writer found in the sanctuary
That sold him on the faithfulness of God
But I'm here, and poised to speak out my betrayal
Give me something to hold
Give me some sort of sign
Just give me a reason
Why
Why am I even here
Why can't I seem to change myself
Let alone anyone else
Why tease us all with clues without conclusions
Why leave us feeling in the dark
For signs we wouldn't recognise if we found them
That's if they're even there
