The Music Plays

She don't know what it's like to love and be loved
Is she running out of time?
And the only advice is cliche and absurd
"You'll know when it's right"
She's waiting 'til the music plays
She's waiting for the one that stays
She's waiting 'til the music plays
A decade ago, she lost her innocence
And she's still making up for lost time
She's had nothing but disappointment
When she puts her heart on the line
And when she tells me that she don't believe in love
It makes me want to change her mind
But I'm not the one to do it
I know she would see right through it
She's waiting 'til the music plays
She's waiting for the one that stays
She's waiting 'til the music plays
She's waiting 'til the music plays
She's waiting just to see, to see his face
She's waiting 'til the music plays
Coming in from the car in a cold sweat
And she's finding it hard to unwind
When she's hanging with all of her new friends
Standing still feels like falling behind
And she don't let on the way it makes her feel
When they say she's just one of the guys
But I can see right through it
While she tries not to read into it
She's waiting 'til the music plays
She's waiting for the one that stays
She's waiting 'til the music plays
Will the notes catch her by surprise
Playing something she'll recognize?
Will she really know when it's right?
All her doubts are returning
Will the notes catch her by surprise
Playing the soundtrack to her life?
Is it something she'll recognize?
This is all so absurd, yeah
She's waiting 'til the music plays
She's waiting for the one that stays
She's waiting 'til the music plays
She's waiting 'til the music plays
She's waiting just to see, to see his face
She's waiting 'til the music plays

Echo

When I pass the breakers
I kinda lose my mind
Taking one step forward and one step back
One day at a time
'Cause time seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
Your mind seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
A single point of failure
On a single file line
A simple message that you must stay on track
And leave the past behind
'Cause time seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
Your mind seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
Time seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
Your mind seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
And I lost my way
When I turned the page
I had things figured out in the radio age
And I lost my way
When I turned the page
I had things figured out in the radio age
And I lost my way
When I turned the page
I had things figured out in the radio age
And I lost my way
When I turned the page
I had things figured out in the radio age
Time seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
Your mind seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
Time seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
Your mind seems to echo, echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
So figure it out
Figure it out
Figure it out
Figure it out

No Wonderland
05:06

I saw her standing at the window
And I ran straight outside
She put her number in my cell phone
Like she had nothing to hide
I kept her warm in my raincoat
When I took her out later that night
And she held my whole world in her eyes
It was like a fairy tale interrupted by real life
It was like a dream come true, but now I'm wide awake at night
It was like a fantasy we knew would never turn out right
And there's no wonderland in sight
All her quirky little habits
They started to bother me in time
Like a charming white rabbit
Leading me out of my mind
I can't remember how we got so far gone
Or why she looks twice my size
But when a bottle says, "drink me" I oblige
It was like a fairy tale interrupted by real life
It was like a dream come true, but now I'm wide awake at night
It was like a fantasy we knew would never turn out right
And there's no wonderland
No wonderland in sight
No wonderland in sight
No wonderland in sight
I broke the tea pot that she said she couldn't replace
I had that cheshire cat grin stretching across my face
I think the doorknobs moved so that I couldn't escape
Before her ex showed up and kicked me out of her place
It was like a fairy tale interrupted by real life
It was like a dream come true, but now I'm wide awake at night
It was like a fantasy we knew would never turn out right
And there's no wonderland
No wonderland, no
It was like a fairy tale interrupted by real life
It was like a dream come true, but now I'm wide awake at night
It was like a fantasy we knew would never turn out right
And there's no wonderland in sight

Sparks Fly
03:23

Approached you at the bar in a clumsy attempt to play it cool 'cause there's something about you
Lately life's been hard, we've been carrying the weight of the world and everything that we've been through
We walk out to my car and pretend we don't know where we're going, and in a way that is so true
You're looking up at the stars through my sunroof and I'm thinking, "Baby, I could use an escape too"
Sparks fly every time
I look into your eyes
It's such a telltale sign
Can I take you home tonight?
We've been waiting for this chance to throw our inhibitions aside
Chemicals collide, we come crashing down off a high, and I start to come unglued
But much to my surprise, you crack a sly smile and a joke about the view from the bedroom
We talk for a while about odds and ends, mutual friends, and now we're ordering Thai food
But every time that you glance out the window I'm still wondering where is it you want to escape to?
Sparks fly every time
I look into your eyes
It's such a telltale sign
Will you stay just for the night?
We've been searching for a place where we can escape from the world outside
Where we are not erased
Where we are not replaced
Where we hold on to one another
Where we are not erased
Where we are not misplaced
Where we hold on to
Can I hold you?
Will we break through?
Can I hold you more than just tonight?
Sparks fly every time
I look into your eyes
It's such a telltale sign
If you only want tonight
I won't blame you if you disappear without a proper goodbye

Easy Way Out

I kinda knew we'd end up here
It's like the glue that held us never quite adhered
I never knew what was going through your head
You didn't choose the present, so you dwell on the past instead, and
Hey, there is nothing wrong with me
Why are you always deceiving?
I won't take the easy way out
I've got scars no one can see
I won't take the easy way out
From all the blame you laid on me
I won't take the easy way out
Now it's time to stand my ground
I won't take the easy way out
Now I'm awake
While you're asleep
And in a way, I guess it's just as well
That we weren't meant to be
We can't replace
We can't repeat
I pulled away and finally broke the spell
And lost my sympathy
Hey, there is nothing wrong with me
Why are you always deceiving?
I won't take the easy way out
I've got scars no one can see
I won't take the easy way out
From all the blame you laid on me
I won't take the easy way out
Now it's time to stand my ground
I won't take the easy way out
The easy way out
I know it's late, but please don't take it out on me
I know it's late, but please don't take it out on me
I know it's late, but please don't take it out on me
I know it's late, but please don't take it out on me
Take it out on me
If I was always right, then everyone would have the best intentions
(Take it out on me)
If I was always right, there'd be no need to laugh to break the tension
(Take it out on me)
If you were always right, I'd raise a glass to you tonight
Take all my fears and let them go
You act like it's a sin to go against your wishes
Your wishes
(Take it out on me)
You act like it's a sin to go against your wishes
Your wishes
(Take it out on me)
You act like it's a sin to go against your wishes
Your wishes
(Take it out on me)
You act like it's a sin to go against your wishes
Your wishes
(Take it out on me)
