Track Name: Waking Up
I'm waking up, it's been a long time since I've seen the sun.
I'm giving up trying to be fun.
In your words, "this could hurt for ever."
In your words, "it could only get better."

I'm relinquishing the state I'm in.
I'm bowing out, gracefully hitting the bin.
No one knows what I do when I'm alone.
Blindside me and I promise I'll blindside you.

There's a room no one goes to,
it's locked and sealed and put away,
waiting on yesterday.

I'm awake, it's been a long time since I've seen the sun.
I'm giving up trying to be fun.
Growing old means you're getting old.
Growing old...

I'm awake, it's been a long time since I've seen the sun.
Getting by, life's a struggle from time to time.
Track Name: Touchdown Kid
Shake that ass, senorita, you were born to dance.
I was destine to stare too long, like at the sun

Will this world survive or turn in time, away from me like you always do.
Will they ever make the sequels to the films, the ones we quote like children often do.

She survives, I'm the touchdown kid, I could write and record a song just for you.
Please accept this offer to my room, I'm not desperate, I'm just in need of someone new.
Track Name: Got Your Nose
I've got your nose! I hold it up, you punch me in the arm. It's immature, sure, but it's worth looking like a fool. For me to see your smile grow and grow and grow, I've got you nose and next I'm coming for your toes.

You've got my brain! Jumping inside my head for all day. I'm not sure what for but I'm never gonna miss another day. Cause you've got my brain and next you're coming for my heart.

Still I know as these feelings grow, you will always be around.
But you don't see, that part of me, I'm gonna show you everything.
Track Name: From Bed/Back Home
What's done is done. My brain it flicks and flutters, I'm hiding under covers. Trying not to see, the world at large is swallowing all my fears and hungers. So, now i can sleep. I'm not going outside tonight I swear that it will be all right here..in my room.

Your past is your past. The problem with it creeping up and biting you in the ass, is that, you never see it coming. So, sit back and relax, the feelings about to pass right here...in my room.

We only had just one night, but it's playing over in my mind.

Back home, this place seems warmer. Somehow, I know, that that's impossible.
Last night, in the freezing cold, I almost lost a toe waiting for your call.

All you'll ever have to do is say, "this isn't working out" and I'll be on my way. Until that day...I'll be hanging around.

Back home, this place seems slower. Perhaps that is why I am feeling down.
Your new shoes and a new tattoo, everything but my feelings tend to change.
Track Name: I Catch You
If I catch you singing along to this or any other song, I'll be angry.
I've been working my fingers to the bone keeping these lyrics far from your phone.

The feeling comes and goes.
The feeling that no body knows.
The pain, you're in.

Honesty seeps into defeat and your no good at being made at me, you're angry.
If one plus one equals two then the hardest part of math is subtracting you.
Track Name: The Rule
Do you see that moon?
Big and round, golden, fake looking in space.
What makes you think you need to do what you're doing to me?

There's this rule that I like to break.
It says, "you never should take more then you can chew."
But I love you and I'm gonna do...

Everything in my power to devour everything about you.

Do you see that moon?
Big and round, golden, fake looking in space.
It makes me dream, wonder, and contemplate what you mean...I know you're thinking that too.
Track Name: Synchronize & Swim
I'm gonna rhyme, steal and run
We're gonna have so much fun
Cause today I get to see your pretty face.

We can synchronize and swim
Oh, let us finally hit the pin
Out of the big old cherry tree.

I would do anything for you
Even if you don't know what you want to do
Just know I will always be right here.

Even if you need your space
I'll still love you and kiss your face
Be for you what you need me to be.

You can hoot, holler and scream
I'll be happy just to sing
A pleasant tune while you fall asleep.
