VERSE 1:
Scene 1, we're done
Keeping it together
Acting out, there's no doubt
That I deserve an Oscar
Stage fright, Friday nights
Feeling like whatever
It’s the end, once again
Cause nothing lasts forever
If you believed in me
Like you said you would
We could've had the shot
You always said we should
And now I've made it big,
And it feels so good
Look back on all I did
CHORUS:
Cause it's like I'm in the movies
I can see right through me
I wish that I could fly away
On the plane that I made
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
VERSE 2:
Focus in, camera lens
Captures every moment
But pan out, they hear us shout
That now the scene is ruined
Tracking shot shows what we've got
It comes and goes around the bend
Trick from a hat, no one sees the fact
We're getting paid to pretend
I believed in you but where did you go to?
I'm asking you, do you remember?
The lights they shut off and and the films running out in this movie that we've made together
Directors’ revisions they're giving us visions of uncut incisions of combined divisions
We can't keep this up no now I've had enough of my life shot in front of a camera
PRECHORUS (x4):
(Like I’m in the movies)
CHORUS:
Cause it's like I'm in the movies
I can see right through me
I wish that I could fly away
On the plane that I made
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
BRIDGE (INSTRUMENTAL)
CHORUS (x2):
Cause it's like I'm in the movies

I wish that I could fly away
On the plane that I made

Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
Cause it's like I'm in the (like I’m in the movies)
OUTRO:
Cause it's like I'm in the movies
I can see right through me
I wish that I could fly away
On the plane that I made
Because it’s like I’m in the—

VERSE 1:
If you wanna, come with me baby
I can take you on the town tonight
Do you wanna, hold it down baby
Take my hand, we gonna be alright
I got my ticket and a movie stub
I let you call it and we hit the club
I hope you’re ready take it steady because
We’re gonna be here ‘til the sun don’t shine
CHORUS:
I don’t wanna steal your spotlight
I’m not the type to do you like that (no no no)
All I needed was an invite,
Lookin’ sharp but you let me fall flat
I’m not looking for a street fight
Let’s take a rest and step inside
All I wanna do is feel right,
Not steal your spotlight, spotlight
VERSE 2:
Jonny snapback,
Studio out of the backpack,
Out here making hits,
Like we headed on the fast track
It’s just me,
and my boy TC,
And Nards on the track,
Yeah we’re SOT
Straight outta the attic
Cause we started here with Static
Started with a box,
And now we back it
New group, new sound
2 states, 4 clowns,
And I’m feelin like Kanye
Bound
Girl let’s hit town
and drive around,
The windows down
Don’t wanna see you frown
You turn my life straight upside down
But when I’m with you,
Everything’s just fine,
Got me feelin like making some crazy rhymes
When you’re with me,
I don’t check the time
Steal my spotlight cause you’re a dime
CHORUS:
I don’t wanna steal your spotlight
I’m not the type to do you like that (no no no)
All I needed was an invite,
Lookin’ sharp but you let me fall flat
I’m not looking for a street fight
Let’s take a rest and step inside
All I wanna do is feel right,
Not steal your spotlight, spotlight
BRIDGE (INSTRUMENTAL)
VERSE 1 REPRISE:
If you wanna, come with me baby
I can take you on the town tonight
Do you wanna, hold it down baby
Take my hand, we gonna be alright

All I needed was an invite,
Lookin’ sharp but you let me fall flat
I’m not looking for a street fight

VERSE 1:
Hello
I'm pleased to meet you
Please know
That I'm always gonna be with you
I know
That we just met, call it my bet,
But I wanted to show
That I like you
PRECHORUS:
(Because she looks at how the) moon glows
Crashing on these waves flow
She's dancing on the table
Everything that made full
(I'm staring out the) window
Singing songs that only we know
Thinking bout where did our days go?
Wasn't ready to let you go
Hear me saying
CHORUS:
Just know whenever you fall
I will be right here to call and
My door is right down the hall
I’ll have your back through it all and
When I see your face
Everything feels the same
When I see your face
I always wish that I had stayed
VERSE 2:
I should
Just move on just go back to
I would
Take the pain away, for another day (but even If)
I could
I would be, your everything
(Your everything)
PRECHORUS:
(Because she looks at how the) moon glows
Crashing on these waves flow

BRIDGE:
(Don’t let go)
Give it up this time
or you’ll be waiting all your life to
See who can you be
What you’ve got
You’ve got to know is
You can wipe away those tears
As they fall from
Fall from the ruins
We thought were forever
CHORUS
Just know whenever you fall
I will be right here to call and
My door is right down the hall
I’ll have your back through it all and
When I see your face
Everything feels the same
When I see your face
I always wish that I had stayed

Hard to Meet

VERSE 1:
Look out cause I’m out of my mind,
Say I’m crazy cause I color outside the lines
Can we dance just one more time?
Living life like it’s all fine
And we got this far,
We came so close and we worked this hard
A shotgun blast brings it all down,
We used to run, we used to run this town
CHORUS:
And I know that we just started,
But it feels like it’s the end
It was always so hard to meet you
I wished we could be friends
And before it’s all over
I wanna see your face again
I know it seems misleading,
But I just want to pretend
VERSE 2:
Hey there, what’s your name?
One simple line but it feels the same and I
Lie awake, every night
To get the courage to do what feels right
And we get time, and we lose time
But at the same time
Everyone else seems fine
When they’re living inside a lie
CHORUS:
And I know that we just started,
But it feels like it’s the end
It was always so hard to meet you
I wished we could be friends
And before it’s all over
I wanna see your face again
I know it seems misleading,
But I just want to pretend
BRIDGE:
Can’t you see,
You’re killing me,
Oh, why can’t we
Pretend to be?
VERSE 1 REPRISE:
Look out cause I’m out of my mind,
Say I’m crazy cause I color outside the lines
Can we dance just one more time?
Living life like it’s all fine
And we got this far,
We came so close and we worked this hard
A shotgun blast brings it all down,
We used to run, we used to run this town
CHORUS:
And I know that we just started,
But it feels like it’s the end
It was always so hard to meet you
I wished we could be friends

Keeps Her Waiting
04:26

VERSE 1:
One mind,
Lost in an everlasting cycle
The search of eternity
One mind,
Caught up in the ease of its simplicity
She thought she figured it out
But now, he takes off the mask he's wearing to show how,
The curtain's closing, the gears are turning
That is the time, when she realizes that
CHORUS:
Falling down from above
Pushed back by her former love
She always tries
But he keeps her waiting
He says that he's had enough
She knows that times have been tough
The story's rough
But he keeps her waiting
VERSE 2:
One light
Illuminates the room to make it easy
But it's too late
One light
Burning through the yearn to take back history
This always was their fate
Now they live, in disparity amongst themselves,
The bookshelves, have been layered by the dust,
Now long gone, and still she doesn't know that she-
CHORUS:
Falling down from above
Pushed back by her former love
She always tries
But he keeps her waiting
He says that he's had enough
She knows that times have been tough
The story's rough
But he keeps her waiting

VERSE 1:
I can be anything
but I’ve got to want it
I can go anywhere
but it’s hard to start it
And like a shipwreck
No one saw it coming
This time
Everything seems fine
Stuck in your own closed bubble
There’s a world outside
No that’s a world of trouble
How long can you say that
It’s easier this way
Well your life looks good
With the way it’s going
Sunny shine days
Smiling faces showing
All seems good when it’s not you out there
Nice life, nice friends, why should you care?
They got cut by the sharp end of the knife
You’ve won the lottery of life
CHORUS:
I’ve got 5 more ways I’ve been trying to meet you
4 more days you’ve been trying to see me
And all these cracks in my cell phone screen
They make it hard to read the texts, you never sent me
VERSE 2:
We could've been anything
But we had to want it
Now instead we’re nothing
Yeah I should've saw it
Now I'm counting down the days, until we make a change
Cause I've got 1 way to get you back but
2 days til I send you packing
3 rays of sunshine shining down upon your face and mine but
For years I saw this coming and
5 tears for a seeming nothing
12 months, 10 days, if you leave me then that’s just one more number
CHORUS:
I’ve got 5 more ways I’ve been trying to meet you
4 more days you’ve been trying to see me
And all these cracks in my cell phone screen
They make it hard to read the texts, you never sent me
BRIDGE:
I’m counting slow (x4)
(x2)
I’m counting slow
Don’t you know,
Don’t want me, why don’t you say so?
I can’t be sure,
I’m insecure
Every time that I’m with her
CHORUS (x2):
I’ve got 5 more ways I’ve been trying to meet you
4 more days you’ve been trying to see me
And all these cracks in my cell phone screen
They make it hard to read the texts, you never sent me

Everlasting

CHORUS:
And time stands still
But everything is changing
Past memories
Become past beliefs of a time that never was
Remember me
When we're old and turned to nothing
Please say to me that we were meant to be
Everlasting
VERSE 1:
I hear and I forget
I see and I remember
Two drops in the ocean yet
We can make it so much better
And the world comes crashing down
But we’re back together
Still you hear my voice shout out
PRE-CHORUS:
And time moves slowly
You hold me closely to you
Tell me what else can I do
To get this message through
CHORUS:
And time stands still
But everything is changing
Past memories
Become past beliefs of a time that never was
Remember me
When we're old and turned to nothing
Please say to me that we were meant to be
Everlasting
VERSE 1:
My mind fills with regret
Trace back to the day I saw her
Not just to feel sadness
But to let it make you stronger
And what’s the point of this?
True love, now that’s forever
You’ll be the one I miss
PRE-CHORUS:
And time moves slowly
You hold me closely to you
Tell me what else can I do
To get this message through
BRIDGE:
(Part 1)
And when the lights come on, we’re empty
I thought I’d be the one who,
The one that would be always
Right beside you
(Part 2)
Wanted you
Forever to be
Mine and always
Everlasting
And I will always remember you
CHORUS:
And time stands still
But everything is changing
Past memories
become past beliefs of a time that never was
Remember me
When we're old and turned to nothing
Please say to me that we were meant to be…

VERSE 1:
Now see the days, they're getting longer
And ain't it funny how these days have changed
We've got the same people but a different life
With just a little bit of sacrifice
It's all a game to find what makes you happy - and that’s got me counting
CHORUS:
1,2,3,
Won’t you be with me,
Cause this is all I got yeah
That’s all I got to be
2,3,4,
There’s the door go and walk away
Why won’t you stay
With me?
VERSE 2:
Everybody says to just do what you like
But what happens when that passion is gone
You gotta know where with your love to invest
It's the biggest question on life's final test
And I'm filling in the blank the only way I know how, and that’s got me singing
CHORUS:
1,2,3,
Won’t you be with me,
Cause this is all I got yeah

The Way (feat. Phenom V)

|
VERSE 1:
All that I ever dreamed, you’re all I ever wanted
It was for you, to be with me
Now that we’re there, been feeling scared, just a little bit haunted
Of something I couldn’t see
PRECHORUS:
Wish I could take it back
(to the days when we felt like something real)
Take it back
(That’s how I wanna feel)
Take it back
(But you know that I’ll be doing just fine
At some other time)
CHORUS (x2):
It’s the way you say you’ll walk away from me
But today, today it’s gonna be okay
VERSE 2:
You say you care, but you don’t think it's enough to keep going
Say that you’re leaving me (but when you walk)
Back in the door
I hit the floor and fish your stuff out the garbage
Why can’t I be set free?
PRECHORUS:
Wish I could take it back
(to the days when we felt like something real)
Take it back
(That’s how I wanna feel)
Take it back
(But you know that I’ll be doing just fine
At some other time)
CHORUS (x2):
It’s the way you say you’ll walk away from me
But today, today it’s gonna be okay
RAP:
Look, I think maybe we should talk about it,
Address it head on, don’t walk around it
Girl the way that you look and the way that I feel
With the way that you feel girl is this even real?
I want you to know, that if it’s worth it
I keep trying and trying can’t get it perfect
But I feel all these things deep inside
When I look in your eyes, trust me you deserve it
To be with you I must find a way
You’re ready to leave but you know you should stay
You’re an angel from heaven, you know that I pray
Not to fight for your heart, that’s a major mistake
I love when you smile, can’t miss it
Tryna change your life? That’s a transition
To show you it’s real, I just need a day
And you know what they say girl, it’s always the way
CHORUS (x2):
It’s the way you say you’ll walk away from me
But today, today it’s gonna be okay

VERSE 1:
Once again,
I’m back my friend,
Didn’t see this one coming
Took a page,
From your book,
21 years and running
And I know that we could have it all,
But I’m the Spring and you’re the Fall
Lighting up the room with your perfect smile
I know it’s late, but you should stay a while
CHORUS:
I want to be
A part of something bigger
Sitting on your front porch, clouds roll in
And you say, let’s stay here forever
VERSE 2:
Sleeveless shirts,
Sleepless nights,
I guess in my head I got the time right
Another year,
In black and white,
Bringing a spoon to a knife fight
And I know I see the glass half full,
I’m your china shop and you’re the bull
Riding round the city with the windows down
Anyone’s a king if you’ve got a crown
CHORUS:
I want to be
A part of something bigger
Sitting on your front porch, clouds roll in
And you say, let’s stay here forever
I feel nothing
Without you here with me
Back-door alleyway closes
And you say, let’s sing
GUITAR SOLO
CHORUS:
I want to be
A part of something bigger
Sitting on your front porch, clouds roll in
And you say, let’s stay here forever
I feel nothing
Without you here with me
Back-door alleyway closes
And you say, let’s sing

Step up, step in
I’m dreaming big and I’m trying to win
Walking down Peach Street Boulevard
Get up, write in
The things you want to say again
The daytime never felt this good
PRECHORUS:
Oh but now I get the feeling to stay
As I reach the end of a perfect day
Yeah what would I have to pay?
As I move outta here I gotta say
CHORUS:
I never wanted to leave there
It was a place that I could call home
As I walk through the warm air
I don't feel alone
Cause all these days are long,
And I’m moving on,
All these city lights don't
Feel so wrong
But I’m stuck in this moment
Getting swept along
VERSE 2:
I was thinking
About my life this time last year
And how everything is different now
Life has changed
Turned and flipped me upside down
And I love it now

Oh but now I get the feeling to stay
As I reach the end of a perfect day
Yeah what would I have to pay?
As I move outta here I gotta say

Oh oh, I’m moving to Atlanta

Feel so wrong

Getting swept along

VERSE 1:
Wrote a story
About a memory
I guess it doesn't really matter
When life gets boring
I try to change it
Nobody really ever know hows to live
I'm sleeping in my car
Take a walk to clear my mind
Life is awesome
We've all got one
You never know what you will find
CHORUS:
Sun is shining
Perfect timing
I'm on my own for the first time
Clear the rooftop
Cause these brakes don't stop
I'm feeling alive for the first time
VERSE 2:
Someone told me
To forget about it
Who knew 3 words could do so much
To make a complete difference
In broken stillness
Can you work that into your brain?
Jumping off a cliff
Feel the wind through my fingertips
Because I'm parasailing
Adventure saved me
From a life I could forget
CHORUS:
Sun is shining
Perfect timing
I'm on my own for the first time
Clear the rooftop
Cause these brakes don't stop
I'm feeling alive for the first time
GUITAR SOLO
BREAK:
Sun is shining
(The first time)
Perfect timing
