Daydreaming 03:35
Sittin' here in a coffee shop Writin' words just to pass the clock Daydreamin', good thinkin' You came and saved me You look so damn cool I wish I could tell you You're shining and glowing You don't even know it I see that you notice that I think you're pretty Can you take my hand, we can leave to the city Where no one will find us We'll leave it behind us Fall deep in love Let the love blind us (We can let the love blind us) (We can leave it behind us) I don't think it's real and I've been falling for it (Falling for it) Maybe I'm not dreaming and it's real life this time (Real life this time) 'Cause I've been daydreaming And I don't know what to believe in It's really getting me thinking 'Cause lately I've been daydreaming 'Cause I've been daydreaming And I don't know what to believe in It's really getting me thinking 'Cause lately I've been daydreaming (I've been daydreaming) (Lately I've been daydreaming, yeah) (Lately I've been daydreaming) (Baby I've been daydreaming) I don't even know just when it's real

Don't you ever look back and think of it? Don't you ever look back to what he said? Do your thoughts form clouds inside your head And then rain Do you ever look back and wonder if The words you said would have saved him If the thoughts you think inside your head Would go away (You can build the clouds, and then rain) (You can build the clouds, and then rain) All of the things you said you wanted A big huge family and a garden A little swing for all the toddlers And their alcoholic fathers Just to grow up and be bothered Little things turn into problems Would he be here in the long run If I played the part of his son? .......................................

Apartments And streetlights And you right By my side By my side By my side It felt right I hated that We stayed up Cultivated that Never made it back Never made it back Now you're a New York baby You're a fashion lady Oh you're a New York baby You're my fashion lady Dancing on rooftops Taking photographs Playing hide and seek Making each other laugh Memories take me back Oh the memories take me back Drinking cheap wine Smoking cigarettes That we couldn't buy We weren't old enough I wasn't bold enough I couldn't be your love Do you wanna go back to the summer We were young Flash forward to the winter I held my tongue And we danced without the sun And we sat until the dawn Do you wanna go back Do you wanna go back Say you wanna go back Say you wanna go back Say you wanna go back I don't wanna go back You didn't care What I did You trusted What I said What I said I fucked up The relationships I moved out You hated it You hated me Dancing on rooftops Taking photographs Playing hide and seek Making each other laugh Memories take me back Oh the memories take me back Drinking cheap wine Smoking cigarettes That we couldn't buy We weren't old enough I wasn't bold enough And I couldn't be your love Do you wanna go back to the summer We were young Flash forward to the winter I held my tongue And we danced without the sun And we sat until the dawn Do you wanna go back Do you wanna go back Say you wanna go back Say you wanna go back Say you wanna go back Do you wanna go back Do you wanna go back Say you wanna go back Say you wanna go back Say you wanna go back I don't wanna go back If we went back there would be A time and place for everything And I don't think that we could be Everything I said that we could be And if you need me I don't think I could be there after All these years I don't wanna go back I don't wanna go back I don't wanna go back I'm afraid to go back I'm afraid to go back I'm afraid to go back

Better Days 04:25
(Gibberish) ..................... It's a brand new sunrise And it feels like a brand new day I used to feel the sunlight And I miss the feelings that came With waking up and feeling good With having something to look forward to I sunk myself but I'm not doomed I've got a brand new attitude I just noticed sunlight And it feels like a brand new day And I feel OK And I think I'll stay For better days For better days For better days For better days I been praying that we'll have no fear I been on edge for a whole damn year We found our way to the golden city Found out life ain't all that pretty We both see our lives beginning But I've found that ours is ending For a new beginning we both part ways It's all in store for better days We fell into a hole But we found ourselves And now things are working out A new family by our sides And they're watching out In case everything goes south We'll see who is by our side We'll see who is there at night They said we couldn't be it And that we're only dreaming Oh can you see it We'll see who is by our side We'll see who is there at night
