"The Blue Line" Verse 1: Waiting for the bus in the pouring rain No overhang, and I’m soaked to the bone Waking up like I was in a dream (Oooh) No sad refrain And we’re driving through the storm Chorus: My worries can’t find me, I’m running to fast My better-half keeps crying asking How much time will pass ’Til I’m back in that room with her where She can hold me tight No doubt she wants me by her side, Each and every day and night Verse 2: Look angel, It’s my angle Don’t be ashamed it’s not dangerous I know we started as strangers But that’s so far gone, now You’re famous, and I’m shameless And I never ask you for favors But there’s something I want from you, And there’s some things I got to prove. With the long run Gotta get the job done Need to go out and get some Water for my soul Black on black I’m rollin’ like train tracks On purpose, yeah Gotta lot that’s riding on the line And I don’t need nothin’ from you. Chorus: My worries can’t find me I’m running to fast My better-half keeps crying asking How much time will pass ’Til I’m back in that room with her where She can hold me tight No doubt she wants me by her side, Each and every day and night.

No Complaints Verse 1: For the record I ain’t called you in a while For the weekend don’t feel right without you now For the record we won gar more than we lost But you don’t hear that from your friends. Chorus: I need you though, I need you to know Baby, don’t go I told you how I don’t get close Now you’re alone, I’m staying home This open road I should’ve known you would get ghost I need you though I need you though, I need you. Verse 2: Bouquet of sunflowers for you Pictures of things you put me through Necklace from Saks 5th Avenue I only got the best for you Got tired of waiting Our song off the playlist Shuffled up I hate this I’m moving on. Chorus Post Hook: We made a lot of promises then threw them in the waste bin Couldn’t make it past the shit, but hey, it’s just the way it went So now I keep running up my tab Wishing that I didn’t want you back. Chorus

Same Place 02:38
"Same Place" Verse 1: Saw you I’m such a fan of you Knew I couldn’t let it go I had to move along, move along I was afraid of it Saw that we’d fall back together Part of me stayed where we made love Not in a rush to clear the table Hard thing to run away from When you lose something irreplaceable. Chorus: We used to be in the same place, yeah We used to be If we had stayed in the same place Would we still be. (Go, let it go, let it go now. Let it go, let it go, let it go.) 2x Verse 2: It’s never been easy, baby But now that I'm leaving, baby We should let ourselves fall back into old habits Old ways Just enough for you Take some love for you Now that I’m days from you Finally some space from you There’s always a place from you In the back of mine Want you back in my…. Chorus

"Before You Go" Verse 1: Show me your hardest Point where your heart is Show me your cards And stop being modest Just tell me you’re honest Tell me you’re honest Tell me your problems I think I can solve ‘em Baby I’m all in So deep I could fall in You a killer Like you the Loch Ness. Pre-hook: Oh where’d you fall from South of the Gibraltar Equator‘s getting hotter Mist over the water Oh you never bother If I breathe you like a Marlboro But I get weak before you go Just before you go. Chorus: Love you right back when you’re doin’ the most And I try you right back when you’re goin’ ghost Champagne glass And we raising a toast Don’t forget the good times (before you) Give me everything I’ll take it all Got a few layers you should take one off Champagne glass and we raising a toast Don’t forget the good times before you go. Verse 2: Something about you Been drivin’ me wild But don’t wanna be obvious I know that you’re guarded Been burned it was arson Before it was started And I don’t need the options You’re all that I wanted Don’t think I can stop it The room’s getting hotter Got me surfing, like it’s the tropics Chorus

Inner Child 03:37
"Inner Child" Verse 1: Branches swaying in the trees flowers blooming Greenery hanging all around this room I can see the street corner from my window Lookin’ down below And as I see the world through the foggy lenses of my own detail And as the daylight wains from my window pane Wishing you were here. Pre-chorus: You treat me like a tool for your pleasure Like a toy for your inner child Tell me what you want from me We could stand any trial. Chorus: I used to be a fool now I’m better Give it to me good never let up Show me how you move it’ll never Yell it from the roof like it’s forever. Verse two: All them ways I can turn you on All you ever asked for All you’d ever need. I got that kind of thing for your body I got that kind of thing for your mind I do that kind of thing for your body I do that kind of thing for your mind. Pre-chorus Chorus Instrumental outro
6.
Concrete 03:00
"Concrete" Verse 1: It took a lot of concrete A thousand tons of concrete A different shade of gray for For all this to grow All made to someone’s vision The 13th floor went missing Is this what we’re all here for Or made for something more? Pre-hook: Sleeping on it Like a cold day There’s another piece to all this Inside coffins made of gold We’re all just sleeping in Stuck in a mold that we weren’t made to fit. Chorus: We’re losing our way All but gone We mix our pain With two shots in a tall glass Swerving through lanes We on the low path Losing our way Can’t find a way, way, way back. Verse two: Look at all this These castles made of Sand that’s smooth and polished These walls they got us Feeling so unfamiliar Crawling up from the bottom of the yard I wasn’t born as a killer Still got these tears tattooed. Pre-hook Chorus
7.
Verdict 02:37
“Verdict” Verse 1: Hey friend have you moved on How will I get there to know, how are you? Will you pick up if I call you now How will I know if this call went through? Hey friend imma move on, with or without me or you I can’t ignore, I’m going up And you’re staying under Well say our goodbyes on the 13th floor. Verse 2: Dare I find, that which was always mine Time that keeps friend’s intertwined Standing by to board blue lines Soon the paint dries in the sun and cracks Then the blossom start to fade Sooner than the wine drips stain Damaged youth, self-portraits on the train Headless lawyers lay and and wait right until the verdict came Name your price self-righteous morning star Debts so great I couldn’t pay ‘less they took my love away
