Brighter Days EP

This is a message to my heart: I'm sorry that you fell apart I'm sorry that I let you down I'm sorry I wasn't around to catch you when you fell This is a message to a girl: I hate that you can rule my world It seems that with a single glance You leave it all to chance and fall over you Don't lead me down this road again just to take your final bow I can hear my heart beat for you and it's getting oh, so loud Take what you need Just take everything that I have, it's all yours 'cause I happen to miss you more than anything And take what you please I'm right here whenever you need me All I have, it's all yours, 'cause I happen to miss you more than anything that you could take from me Your love is like a tattoo in the middle of my chest It always seems to get the best of me And I find it hard to breathe When she's around suddenly I am her clown Till the world stops, bass drops we can always make a scene 'Cause babe, we're living the dream Don't lead me down this road again just to take your final bow I can hear my heart beat for you and it's getting oh, so loud Take what you need Just take everything that I have, it's all yours 'cause I happen to miss you more than anything And take what you please I'm right here whenever you need me All I have, it's all yours, 'cause I happen to miss you more than anything that you could take from me

The bell's about to ring at 8:37 Another three minutes and you're in heaven You know that she'll take your breath away She walks on by without saying a word She stares right through you, does she even know your name? Does she even know my name? You wish for a kiss, you just can't resist And suddenly she's all that you need And for a split second, you think you might get it But she'll never be with me Because loving her is like trying to count the snowflakes on the ground Loving her is like wishing on a shooting star You can't win, you're never gonna make it Every second you take is another you fall because you'll, You'll never find the words No, you'll never find the words, not with a girl like her You finally gather up the courage to ask that girl to dance Oh, to dance Her favorite song is flying through the speakers You walk straight to the middle of the dance floor and Wrap your arms around her What could be better, yeah, what could be better than this? You wish for a kiss, you just can't resist I bet that's changed her mind And for a split second, you think you might get it But it's just a waste of time Because loving her is like listening to your favorite song over and over again Loving her is like watching the sun rise You can't win, you're never gonna make it Every second you take is another you fall because you'll, You'll never find the words No, you'll never find the words, not with a girl like her You stare into those brown eyes And know what's coming up next She leans in slowly And you've gotta catch your breath You wish for a kiss, you just can't resist She seems to have you in mind And for a split second, you think you might get it But you're running out of time Because loving her is like drowning in the ocean Loving her is just watching her walk away You can't win, you're never gonna make it Every second you take is another you fall because you'll, You'll never find the words No, you'll never find the words, not with a girl like her

I said I'd write a ballad to the world No more songs about a girl I said I'd leave tomorrow if she'd leave with me But she won't and we both know what they don't see Stay perfect just for me, I'll stay right here just waiting for you I'll wait for the day when you come back home but until then I'm all alone So stay perfect just for me and I'll stay right here just waiting for you I said I'd write a love song to the world No more details about that girl I said I'd say "I'm sorry" if she were around to hear, But she's not and I'm caught all alone on my own once again.. Stay perfect Just stay perfect I know the wait will be worth it So please stay perfect

You’ve given up on me, I won’t give up on you. I’m homesick and heartbroken, and don’t know what to do. You’re always breaking and stealing hearts All I can see is you and me, and honestly it’s driving me crazy. You broke in and stole my heart. I miss your touch, I miss your taste, I miss the time we used to waste. I miss that look, I miss those eyes, I miss those days, I miss those nights, I miss them too, I just wish that I could hate you. See I’m homesick and heartbroken, all I can do is try to pretend that you don’t mean anything to me. I tried for so long, I’m sorry if I’m not that strong, I’ve written you so many god damned songs, but it’s time for an end, It’s time time to pretend. I miss your touch, I miss your taste, I miss the time we used to waste. I miss that look, I miss those eyes, I miss those days, I miss those nights, I miss them too, I just wish that I could hate you. She’s given up, I can’t let go, She’s all I want, and she knows that without her by my side.. I’m lost with every move she makes. Those lips make me make mistakes, but i don’t want to be here anymore. I miss your touch, I miss your taste, I miss the time we used to waste. I miss that look, I miss those eyes, I miss those days, I miss those nights, I miss them too.. I miss your voice, I miss that laugh, I miss the good times and the bad, I miss the way you used to say “I love you.” But I just wish I could hate you.

This one girl, She had it all figured out She had everything to tear up this town She wanted nothing to do with me, but that couldn't keep me away I saw her in the middle of the street, And i wondered how to sweep her off her feet And surprise indeed when I found out that all I needed was her All I needed was my.. Christi, Christi, don't you know that you're the only thing that keeps me going Christi, Christi, don't you know that without you I got nothing but.. Christi, Christi, don't you know that you're the only thing I've ever wanted and more Christi, Christi, don't you know that you are the one I adore.. my one and only. She noticed the way I looked at her And I wanted to tell her every word that was on my mind twenty four hours of the time, But I couldn't bear to say See I can try to right my wrongs, and I can even try to write this song, But without her everything seems so useless Its all useless without my.. Christi, Christi, don't you know that you're the only thing that keeps me going Christi, Christi, don't you know that without you I got nothing but.. Christi, Christi, don't you know that you're the only thing I've ever wanted and more Christi, Christi, don't you know that you are the one I adore.. my one and only. She stole my heart I gotta catch my breath, Because I ran all night, just to get it back from her, And I saw her standing there, She was stunning and I was breathless.. Christi, Christi, don't you know that you're the only thing that keeps me going Christi, Christi, don't you know that without you I got nothing but.. Christi, Christi, don't you know that you're the only thing I've ever wanted and more Christi, Christi, don't you know that you are the one I adore.. my one and only.
