If I knew everything, would I be alive? Would I be the same boy you knew before? If I knew everything, could I touch the sky? And then fall to the ground, and ask for more? Would I be the same boy That I was before Will my life be strange Would I ever change? What if I knew nothing, would I be dead? Would roses still smell good? Would they still be red? What if I knew nothing, could I be the brightest light you see? Would I even care? I wouldn't know where I want to be Would I be the same boy That I was before Will my life be strange Would I ever change?

Make a Move 02:43
Sitting on my couch, talking over a movie I don’t mind, cause you’re more interesting to me Two’s a party, but three or four’s a crowd When I look at you, my thoughts become so loud You know I want to make a move But I don’t know how to I know you want to make a move And I’m glad you know how to Trying to find alone time You know theres 7 billion minus two too many people in this world But when I close my eyes, and I know you’re beside me We go together to my dreams You know I want to make a move But I don’t know how to I know you want to make a move And I’m glad you know how to Finally it’s just you and me, the world is silent and I wonder if you see That together you and I, we are so vibrant you hold my hand, oh yeah You know I want to make a move But I don’t know how to I know you want to make a move And I’m glad you know how to

Silence 02:07
hot summer days, walking in silence feel a cool breeze in my hair, the sun is a diamond everything is fine, but not always alright in silence, silence mid day sunset, my shadows beside me my hearts beating like jets, when you're beside me everything is fine, but not always alright in silence, silence hot summer days, walking in silence feel a cool breeze in my hair, the sun is a diamond everything is fine, but not always alright in silence, silence in silence, silence

My words don’t have the same effect that they used to Cause I feel I’ve said too much I couldn’t think of the words that I wanted to say cause I’ve run out of things to say I feel the same way I felt last year and that’s kind of boring to hear but it’s none of your concern how I feel and I couldn’t think of the words and now it’s too late ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh It’s always a good day when I get to see you Why didn’t I talk to you sooner There wasn’t the opportunity, you were all by yourself and I was with someone else But now you’re with me, you look fine I look 12 and you’re no longer by yourself and I couldn’t think of the words and now it’s too late ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh My words they don’t come out the way I’d like them to and whatevers in my heads not the same i’d like to go out and have some pizza with you but i wouldn’t know what to say i’ll think of something nice, then my thoughts become regret because you’d have gone away by then

it's no surprise that you won't leave your house tonight, it's no surprise that you're too busy to take my calls, does having a heart of ice make you feel right? banging my fists and my head at the walls you're so cold, you're so cold you're so cold, you're so cold you're so cold, you're so cold you're so cold, you're so cold on the search for a girl who's like me someone that's hard to know, her puzzle is tricky the air i want to breathe will be her perfume for that's how i know she's walked into the room but you're so cold, you're so cold you're so cold, you're so cold

sitting in the same restaurants all 6 of them i can’t pick my favourite one i eat the same thing everywhere i go i’m not afraid to try new things i just find comfort in routine and every day i try to break one but in doing so another one comes around getting close to anyone was my biggest mistake all the things i liked i just had to fake and their careless antics and lunatics on their couch made me such a grouch when i’m trying to eat my breakfast and i see pictures of this oh no leave me behind and go away i’ll solve my problems anyway i don’t need you here interrupting my business while you’re trying to go out there and make something of yourself thats okay, i'll figure it out she sits down by the window, writes down her ideas, ready to face the world she sips from her coffee, stares at these brown buildings laid out in front of her so much on her mind, no one can waste her time, but her pen and notebook do you not much of a waste, it’s an acquired taste, one that she’s grown accustomed to

this girls just like a bird, she won't keep her word because she's repeating everything she knows she likes getting high, won't tell a lie because she's flown across this road before she goes away every winter doesn't care who sees her this girl likes having fun, but she's never won the game of life and she'll disagree she'll say it's not fair, and won't tell you where she goes because she's flying far away she goes away every winter doesn't care who sees her this girls just like a bird, she won't keep her word because she's repeating everything she knows she likes getting high, won't tell a lie because she's flown across this road before

New Home 01:20
look at me when i’m tired thats how i’ll appear when i’m old and dead no longer the demon, the one that lives inside your head been there for long enough, now you’ve gone somewhere else He needs a new home, a place where he can stay A heart shaped room to slide the curtains open Red is the colour of the wall and the floor he now lives in Yeah this place is better, much better than your mind But black is your soul, whatever is left of it in the middle of your heart i’ve built a temple one that i will respect forever i’ve found myself a brand new home one that i can call my own all i know is all i see and the blood that flows brings me to my knees

Balloon 02:26
The clouds shield me from infinity My love shields my mind Discovering lifes fragility Not the best thing one could find One stands in a balloon filled with hot air To go into the sky i would not dare I need you to hold the rope and bring me down when I get way past my head Feces and cigarettes, olfactory delight Anchored to the sand, goodbye says my flight Molten goo asphyxiates me, my mind leaves my thoughts My teachers think i'm crazy, while they're taking shots Oh man

Stranger 02:49
she wasn't looking at you she was looking out the window she wasn't searching for you she was trying to find herself look in front of you and not inside your brain the dim street lights are watching over you watch your step but not too closely make your turn before you miss again she wasn't waiting for you she was waiting for your time to be over while you waited two years for her to fluff someone else she walks by you like you're a stranger look in front of you and not inside your brain the dim street lights are watching over you watch your step but not too closely make your turn before you miss again she wasn't smiling at you she was smiling at her friend that was beside her laughing at all the things that she can say and do passing by you cause you're a stranger stranger stranger stranger stranger stanger
