Did it really happen Or was it just a dream? After hours and nights and weeks and months of talking You leaned in and kissed me Can’t say it hadn’t crossed my mind A thousand or so times, But now I can’t seem to sleep Been waiting all this time To find out if you’re real To find out if you’re mine, And now I can’t seem to sleep, Without thinking of you tonight Did it really happen happen Or am I just living in my dreams? After holding hands, and counting stars, and dancing You say you fell in love with me Can’t say it never crossed my mind Every time you caught my eyes, And now I can’t seem to sleep Been waiting all this time To find out this is real, To find out that you’re mine, But now I can’t seem to sleep Cause I’ve got you tonight Did that really happen? I wish it was a dream After years of making promises together, You broke them all and left me. I didn’t know it ever crossed your mind… I always thought we’d have more time, But now I can’t seem to sleep Been loving you all this time Just to feel a pain so real - That you’re no longer mine, And now I can’t sleep Without you beside me tonight.

Look at me, look at me, look at me Why can’t I get you to you look at me? I laugh at all your jokes and find Reasons to sit by you - what can I do? And I - I can’t stop thinking about you, I can’t stop dreaming of you And I’m tired of waiting for you to… So what can I do, to get you To look at me, look at me, look at me Like I look at you Look at me, look at me, look at me Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me Why can’t I get you to talk to me? I come over early and stay after late Just dying to find a chance to relate, yeah And I - I can’t stop thinking about you, I can’t stop dreaming of you And I’m tired of waiting for you to… So what can I do, to get you To look at me, look at me, look at me Like I look at you Look at me, look at me, look at me And I’ve tried everything I know how Hoping it’ll make it through to you somehow that I just want to get to know you baby, baby So what can I do, to get you To look at me, look at me, look at me Like I look at you Look at me, look at me, look at me Look at me

Clean Break 02:54
What’s a clean, no such thing As a clean break It’s a haze, backwards maze Can’t find my way back to yesterday Try to move on, but Time is just a ticking time bomb for a break, Not a… Clean, no such thing As a clean break It’s a haze, backwards maze Can’t find my way back to yesterday Why have I been waiting round here for All of these wand’ring years waiting for Someone to hear me, If I only had the courage to speak Maybe I’m just too cowardly for a… Clean, no such thing As a clean break

Apple Pie 04:07
Sure looking good over there With your ripped jeans and long auburn hair Sorry, I don’t mean to stare… Well, that’s a lie. It’s just I bet you taste just like apple pie, And that’s really something I’d like to try. Caught you staring back at me At least I think I did, I mean - it is half past three Oh no, that was it - definitely. Are you thinking the same thing as me? That you bet I taste just like apple pie, And that’s really something You’d like to try. Work up the nerve to walk your way You tuck your hair behind your ear and say “hey” I said “There’s a quiet diner down the street. You wanna get out of here and grab a bite to eat?” You say “I hear they have the best apple pie, And that’s really something We ought to try.” Fine by me Across the street You and me You taste so sweet

It's Just Me 04:19
Stop looking this way Stop staying too long Stop laughing at my jokes, Stop touching my arm Don’t think I don’t notice When you linger a little too long You can’t say it’s just me Cause you call when you need to cry Tell me it’s ok, that it’ll be allright It’s the way you say goodnight I’ll tell you when it hurts It’s when you ask me to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay Do you really want to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay? But I think it’s just me. Stop looking so cute Stop changing my mind Stop making me guess I know I’m wasting my time. But don’t think I don’t notice When you touch me a little too long. You can’t say it’s just me Cause you call when you need to cry Tell me it’s ok, that it’ll be allright It’s the way you say goodnight I’ll tell you when it hurts It’s when you don’t ask me to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay I just wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay... That’s why I think it’s just me. Stop playing these games I don’t think you know you’re playing All I know for sure Is that I’m losing/I’m losing this game But you can’t say it’s just me Cause you call when you need to cry Tell me it’s ok, that it’ll be allright It’s the way you say goodnight I’ll tell you when it hurts It’s when I ask you to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay But you don’t wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay... That’s why I know it’s just me. One day it won’t be just me...

Life will try to get you down - Don’t listen to that sound, Keep looking up. Sometimes darkness is all you’ll see Can’t even see what’s in front of me, But light will come. So don’t stare at the ground - You’ll miss the sky up above. It’s filled with love. Just get your feet off the ground, It’ll turn around, It’ll turn around. Some days you might feel a little weird Like you don’t fit in here, And feel like you never will. I’ve been there myself, and what I’ve found: People that are a little different Make the world go ‘round. So don’t stare at the ground - You’ll miss the sky up above. It’s filled with love. Just get your feet off the ground, It’ll turn around, It’ll turn around. Never forget that you are loved. Whoever you are, you are enough. So never give up. So don’t stare at the ground - You’ll miss the sky up above. It’s filled with love. Just get your feet off the ground, It’ll turn around, It’ll turn around, It’ll turn around.
