You can’t do much but just believe
Why is it so difficult it’s too late to get some sleep
One more shot, is all it would take to fight this
And even if this takes all night, I’ll be fine
Fighting hard to keep a balance, in a world that drags you down
To greater depths than you imagined
You see a face it will remind you, of who you used to be
When you were young and full of laughter
Don’t turn back, too late now
We’ve all left, heard the sound
It’s calling out, out your name
You were never one to change
The signs will say I think you’re better but you never know
If I know, you’re steady I feel steady don’t you know
If I know, you’re ready come on let it take control
If I know, you’re steady I feel steady don’t you know
So tell me what's your paradise, and I’ll tell you what is mine
These feelings always get remembered
The saying goes for us as any, when you’re standing arm in arm
Pretty girls will take your money
Don’t turn back, too late now
We’ve all left, heard the sound
It’s calling out, out your name
We will never be together
The signs will say I think you’re better but you never know
If I know, you’re steady I feel steady don’t you know
If I know, you’re ready come on let it take control
If I know, you’re steady I feel steady don’t you know-ohh

I Know Better

Show me a world that begins in the night
I promise to keep it all in my mind
Memories fade but the world stays the same
Picking up pieces, but who’s left to blame?
Show me the side that you’re trying to hide
Making up volumes of outrageous lies
I don’t care what they say I want you by my side
And wherever you are that’s where I feel alive
I know better than this
She wants my head and I’m fine with that as long as you keep
It by your side
I know better than this
We fall apart and that’s fine with me as long as you keep
Me in your mind
We stopped to look at the stars in the night
Cliche as hell you should try it sometime
Passive aggressive has been your forte, obsessing over thoughts it might happen someday
Why won’t you just call and give me a sign
I won’t make it a big deal like last time
I don’t care what they say I want you by my side
And until that day comes these thoughts will not reside
We said nothing is forever but you made me change my mind
I wanna hear you say you love me one more time
We said nothing is forbidden tryna get a peace of mind
I wanna tell you that I love you one more time
I know better than this
She wants my head and I’m fine with that as long as you keep
It by your side
I know better than this
These things take time to cauterize
And I am going to let it go
Woah x4

Empress Eyes

Empress eyes
I’ve been alone and waiting for your touch, all this time
Before the night slips out of way and into melodies
That hold you tight
Through the night, I lie
Beneath the shadow of an open door
In far side dreams
When you wake you’ll find
Another vision of me softly by your side
I won’t let go
And don’t, don’t you stand by me? Oh
And won’t, won’t you stand by me? Oh
Empress eyes
What have you got left for me tonight
The words we shared were mostly shared in spite
And never wrong or right
But empress eyes you’re right
Before you go, just let me sing you from your heavy laden soul
It won’t be long
but the room is packed, the streets you used to love are paved with broken glass
And all will see
The remanence of the clothes
The lights changing their glow
The emptiness you hold
Is shining with your gold
Empress eyes
What have you got left for me tonight
The words we shared were mostly shared in spite
And never wrong or right
But empress eyes you’re right
Oh empress eyes
Why have you called in for me tonight
The words we shared were mostly shared in spite
And never wrong or right
but empress eyes you’re right
Empress eyes, empress eyes you’re mine

He's No Match

He’s no match for you darlin
Gotta get away get away
He’s no match for you darlin
Gotta get away get away
The freedom that becomes your cell is rolling in the tide
The endless dream I’ve come to love is killing me inside
What have you been running from these days I’ve got to know
So I might change up who I am, or change your mind to show
He’s no match for you darlin
Gotta get away get away
He’s no match for you darlin
gotta get away get away
I’m breaking through the surface of my mind to let you know
The deepest dreams I have of you will never let me go
But I want to make it better, and I want to let you try
But I’m caught up in this riddle, and I’m caught up in this lie
He’s no match for you darlin
Gotta get away get away
He’s no match for you darlin
Gotta get away get away
Runnin’ away runnin’ away, I know what you face
She’s gone into hell with me, but I’ve fallen into grace
What have you been running from these days I’ve got to know
So I might change up who I am, or change your mind to show
Snowflakes in your hair
I’m breathing in the cool Manhattan air
The words you said were never just fanfare
I never wanna let you down
But now you’ve gotta leave town
He’s no match for you darlin
Gotta get away get away
He’s no match for you darlin
Gotta get away get away
I’m breaking through the surface of my mind to let you know
The deepest dreams I have of you will never let me go
But I want to make it better
If you want to let me try
But I'm caught up in this riddle
and I’m caught up in the lie oh no no no

To Celia

Like all good things we’ll fade away
As mortal beings brought to the grave
I lost my heart, wandering in the dark next to the house
Where you used to live
When I was young you used to say
Be careful who you love one day
Her heart's grown cold
She’s lost a hand to hold and now her face
Doesn’t look the same
And if I asked you to stay, would you still wanna stay a while?
Or would you laugh in my face, and try to run me over with your car
And if I asked you to dance, would you still wanna dance a while?
Or would you spit in my face, and try to run me over with your-
Either way I’ve gotta ask so can I have this dance?
Like all good things we’ll fade away
As mortal beings brought to the grave
I lost my heart, it’s buried in the dark next to that house
Where you used to live - oh
I wanna feel your touch, I wanna breath it in
I wanna be a better man to the girl I’ve sinned
Don’t wanna be let down, I wanna see you win
Rivers and waters come crashing through (Oh and baby we’re through)
Life gets rough, darlin I’d spend it with you
Even if we’d fall, I’d still want you
If I’ve got you, we’d run away to a better place for a while
Love couldn’t rust (No no no no)
Like all good things we’ll fade away
As mortal beings brought to the grave
I lost my heart
