Lemonade 05:44
Waves on the shore Haven't felt this cool before Rays, come on down Light me up, spare the ground Before the sun collapses in red I must approach your handsome head And ask if I might savor your grin My darling, oh As I'm walking down the beach it seems to me You're the only one that I can clearly see Lying in the bed that keeps each of us warm While outside the other folks brace for the storm Rain streaks the glass Will this gloom ever pass? Cold barrels in Where's the heat there once had been? Before the autumn paints it all gray I must get back to that day When sandy threads covered your skin My darling, oh As I'm walking down the beach it seems to me You're the only one that I can clearly see Lying in the bed that keeps each of us warm While outside the other folks brace for the storm Before we both shall go our own way, There's still so much I need to say I've waited countless hours and days For your lemonade

We're all just lost children Though our bodies will age We each play our part To stand out on the stage All the time we spent And all the places we went The things that we meant Reduced to words on a page Tell me boy are you undecided Is this a love unrequited? Tell me boy are you undecided Is this a love unrequited? As we grow we regress The cold thickens our skin As we brush off the mess That we find ourselves in We've known all along What we're doing is wrong But we've gotta stand strong And cover it up with a grin Tell me boy are you undecided Is this a love unrequited? Tell me boy are you undecided Is this a love unrequited? Can you feel? Can you feel? Is it real? Am I yours to steal? When it breaks When it breaks Is it fake? Am I yours to take? Can you feel? Can you feel? Is it real? Am I yours to steal? Is it yours to end? Was it just pretend? Were we even friends? We're just lost children We're all just lost children We're all just lost children Tell me boy are you undecided Is this a love unrequited? Tell me boy are you undecided Is this a love unrequited?

Shadows 04:11
It came with such ease When you were just a child You were always so wild Yeah, you always smiled You used to climb trees Until you blistered your hands Built giant cities In the desert sands You had such big dreams For somebody so small But those trees were too tall Waves broke down the walls Now all this neglect Has left you alone Fearless architect Scared of your own shadow The shadows of yesterday They used to stretch so far The places you used to play No longer part of who you are It came with such ease When you were just a child You were always so wild Yeah, you always smiled You used to climb trees Until you blistered your hands Built giant cities In the desert sands The shadows of yesterday They used to stretch so far The places you used to play No longer part of who you are The shadows of yesterday They used to stretch so far The places you used to play No longer part of who you are

So Use Me 04:54
In our room, there's garbage on the floor And in our bed, there's a parasite Oh wait - that's you who's clinging to my arm And sucking out my energy You take me, you take me for granted I give you all I got You save me, you save me from myself So use me all you want All our friends have yet to see the day When I emerge from your gauzy threads For now, I'll let you fold me in your web Yes, I will be your prey You take me, you take me for granted I give you all I got You save me, you save me from myself So use me all you want Control me and know me Enfold me, expose me You take me, you take me for granted I give you all I got You save me, you save me from myself So use me all you want All you want All you want All you want

Wolves 03:52
The way his hands always find her neck Afraid and yet she grows interested Crowded nightclubs, lonely bars Doesn't matter where they are There's potential every place For the time when they'll interface The way her teeth bleed a piercing light Drawn in and yet he fears the bite Crowded nightclubs, lonely bars Doesn't matter where they are This seduction won't slow down Til their bodies hit the ground Crowded nightclubs, lonely bars Doesn't matter where they are The illusion of amour Not quite what they bargained for

Tightrope 06:19
So this is the story that she mutters to herself I'm perfectly happy without the hazards of someone else Yeah I've been down that road Bought the life you sold me And now I... I can't go back there I can't go back to you Just please forget me And who you changed me to Her daughter was playing with the neighbor boy last night And she couldn't help thinking, would he place her on a tightrope? And force her to walk Though she's sure to drop Out of sight... I can't go back there I can't go back to you You mustn't let me Though part of me needs to She looked in the mirror, but she only saw his face No ring on her finger, and yet tethered to this place Nothin' left to lose And no choice to choose Still she'd cry I can't go back there I can't go back to you Yet who will stop me? What else can I do? So this is the story that she mutters to herself
