Lost And Found

we were only 15, i let her go,
like paper airplanes, how can i explain,
that i'm lost without you around,
well if i never lost you,
i wouldn't have to find you over and over (over and over)
you're the one that i always wanted
the one that i just can't live without,
no one understands the meaning of your eyes
and how i feel burning deep inside,
well if i never lost you,
i wouldn't have to find you all over and over (over and over)
you're the one that i always wanted,
the one that i just can't live without.
get the fliers up, have you seen the girl
with my heart on her sweater
get the fliers up, have you seen the girl
with my heart on her sweater
with my heart on her sweater,
send her round my way
and i'm sending you to stay.
she's my only star,
tell me where you are, where you are,
remember all these times apart,
bring you back to me
embrace me and make me sure
embrace me and make me secure,
you're lost and found, you're lost and found
you're lost and found, you're lost and found
you're lost and found.




The Things We'll Never Say

One more time in this game we play
Sorry that I couldn't make you stay
Placing pieces on the floor
Of all the things that we loved before

Like puddles, in the rain
Like puddles, we wash away

Hate me now so I can move on
Make it easier to see that you're gone
All the things they're gone too
Turn and changed into memories

Like puddles, in the rain
Like puddles, we wash away

New York City streets with friends by your side
Telling stories in words who've left us behind
All the things we'll never say
Leaving like puddles in the rain

Like puddles[x2]
in the rain

We wash away[x3]

Like puddles[x2]
in the rain

We wash away[x3]




Eleven

I can remember parking lot nights
What did they mean to you?
Wrapping my arms around your body
protecting and holding you
Holding you

Looking inside of my eyes
It was such a big surprise
You've gone and done it again
Does he love you like I can?
Like I can

Maybe it wasn't good enough, but I gave you all I could
Would he stay up late when you can't sleep?
Cause baby i would (i would)
And baby i could (i could)

And you're the grim reaper standing down, and letting me feel this way
With your sweet whispers that never told me you'd leave me this way
(this way)
You'd leave me this way (this way)

If you told me you were happy
If you told me that you miss me
Is it something that I can't see
It's something I can't be
Something I can't be

(If you told me)
(IF YOU TOLD ME)

Maybe it wasn't good enough, but I gave you all I could
Would he stay up late if you can't sleep
Cause baby I would (I would)
(Good Enough, Good Enough, GOOD ENOUGH)




Go On

i met a girl traveling 'round the world, leaving pieces behind
she said she'd wait for me, i can't make her see that she's called to other skies
i can't be her place to hide

it's comin' up, it's comin' up again (live here long to make her stay)
and what are you doin' in my head? and why did you call me when you're dead!? (go on!)

so go on, go and take on the world (building castles, building castles!)
expand your wings across the sky, take my words and say good-night and never say good-bye

maybe in another time, you could have been mine
expand your wings and fly and look to the sky

it's comin' up, (don't forget to write me) it's comin' up again
indulge in everything you'll see (what are you doin' in my head?)
and why did you call me when you're dead!? (go on!)

so go on, go and take on the world (building castles, building castles!)
expand your wings across the sky, take my words and say good-night and never say good-bye

so how are your dreams? whatever lover they may be
so how are your dreams? whatever lover they may be (go on!)

so go on, go and take on the world (building castles, building castles!)
expand your wings across the sky, take my words and say good-night and never say good-bye

expand your wings and fly and look to the sky
expand your wings and fly
expand your wings and fly




One Way Conversation

One by one
The children laugh and stare
At the boy down the road that nobody knows and nobody cares
He doesn't look like the rest of them
Cause he wont dress like the rest of them
Noone cares about the boy on nothing Street

In between the light of day
He wants more than everything
In between the light of day
To find his way out of here
(his way out of here)

A dead end conversation
Passes him right by
No one cares about his stories they call them lies
Dreams he'll find his way
Dreams of being on stage
Noone cares he's finding his way up Nothing Street

In between the light of day
He wants more than everything
In between the light of day
To find his way out of here
His way out of here
In between the light of day
He thinks he's going to make it
In between the light of day
If he could only take it

This is the time
This is the place
We all go our seperate ways
No turning back
No turning back
No turning
This is the time
This is the place
We all go our seperate ways
No turning back
No turning back
No turning
No turning
You're going to be a star someday
You're going to be a star someday
You tell me
Someday
You tell me




Summer Stars

Do you remember the time when you and I were fine
Hiding under the apple tree there was no one but you and me
We would hide from passing cars and we would have the summer stars

And we were better then then we'd ever been before
You came back to me after walking out my door
You would call me on the phone before you even got home
Without me you said you were all alone

The cold wind that blows all the things I used to know
How could it fade so fast never thought you'd be part of my past
Would I trade it all again to get you out of my head?

Cause we were better then then we'd ever been before
You came back to me after walking out my door
You would call me on the phone before you even got home
Without me you said you were all alone
Alone
Without me by your side
You said you were all alone
Give me one more chance
To prove myself to you
All the little things that I long to do
-When you went away-
Would you trade the course
-You said that you'd be-
So that I could hold you
-Coming up my front porch-
Would it all go away
-Just to see me-
And my heart is breaking
Would you hear me baby
As the tears are longing
For what it used to be
