01 Walking On Snow
You fire words but all they do is ricochet
You think I'm paying the price but it's not costing me

Your love was a waste of time, you've been left behind
You made no mark on me
You're gone and you left no sign, you're not on my mind
Don't try to press rewind

[Chorus]
It's like I'm walking on snow without leaving a trace
And all that you said never carried no weight
I came out untouched and in another place
When you gonna get it, I'm so unaffected

When I was flying high you tried to clip my wings
You shot me out of the sky
You tried to make it up buying expensive things
My love you cannot buy

Your love was a waste of time, you've been left behind
You made no mark on me
You're gone and you left no sign, you're not on my mind
Don't try to press rewind

[Chorus Repeat]

It's like I'm walking on snow without leaving a trace
You're not gonna see, gonna see this heart break
You huff and you puff but I'm not blown away
When you gonna get it, I'm so unaffected

You try and find, find fault in me
You project your self-hate so easily
You already lost so you push me more
Inside you're dying slow so you punish me slower
1,2,3,4

[Chorus Repeat]

It's like I'm walking on snow without leaving a trace
You're not gonna see, gonna see this heart break
You huff and you puff but I'm not blown away
When you gonna get it, I'm so unaffected

Leaving a trace
See this heart break
Untouched and in another place
When you gonna get it, I'm so unaffected

02 Battlefield
Don't try to explain your mind
I know what's happening here
One minute it's love
Then suddenly it's like a battlefield

One word turns into war
Why is it the smallest things that tear us down
My world's nothing when you're gone
I'm out here without a shield
Can't go back now

Both hands tied behind my back for nothing
Oh no, these times where we climb so fast to fall again
Why we got to fall for it now

[Chorus]
I never meant to start a war
You know I'd never want to hurt you
Don't even know what we're fighting for
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield

Why does love always feel like

Can't swallow our pride
And neither of us want to raise that flag
If we can't surrender then
We both gonna lose what we have, oh no


Both hands tied behind my back for nothing (nothing)
Oh no, these times where we climb so fast to fall again
I don't want to fall for it now

[Chorus Repeat]

I guess you'd better go and get your armor (Get your armor)
Get your armor (Get your armor)
I guess you'd better go and get your armor (Get your armor)
Get your armor (Get your armor)
I guess you'd better go and get your

We could pretend that we are friends tonight (Whoa)
And in the morning we'd wake up and we'd be alright
Cause baby we don't have to fight
And I don't want this love to feel

Like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
Why does love always feel like
A battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield
I guess you'd better go and get your armor

[Chorus Repeat]

I guess you'd better go and get your armor (Get your armor)
Get your armor (Get your armor)
I guess you'd better go and get your armor (Get your armor)
Get your armor (Get your armor)

Why does love always feel like (Whoa)
Why does love always feel like (Whoa)
A battlefield, a battlefield
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for
I never meant to start a war
Don't even know what we're fighting for

03 Don't Let It Go To Your Head
So what if I came clean
And told you all you mean to me
So what if I meant every word I said
Baby don't let it go to your head
So what if I write your name
Cause you're always on my brain
In a heart, I paint it crimson red
Baby don't let it go to your head

Don't be getting any big ideas
Let me make it clear

[Chorus]
Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
And just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head
If I looked in your eyes
One, two, too many times
And memorize every word you said
Don't let it go to your head

Oh, don't let it go to your head

So what if I want to kiss
From your toes up to your lips
It don't mean that you had me yet
You're gonna be good I bet

I'm the one who's in control here
Let me make it clear

[Chorus Repeat]

Don't let it go to your head, oh

Now you think you got me
Well I'm gonna get you
Now you think you can touch me
Well I'm gonna let you

Just cause I can't go on
Just cause I die when you're gone
And just cause I think of you in bed
Don't let it go to your head

[Chorus Repeat]

Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head (Don't let it go to your head)
Don't let it go to your head (Your head)
(Don't let it go) Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head (Don't let it go)
(Don't let it go) Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head (Don't let it go)
Don't let it go to your head
Don't let it go to your head

04 S.O.S. (Let The Music Play)
S.O.S.
S.O.S.

What's up girlfriend
Something's going on
You got a look about you
Tell me what's wrong
Is that your boyfriend
Dancing with that girl on the floor
We gotta dance now
Time to show our weapons of choice

S.O.S.
Is all I need to send
Just a little text
I'm calling all the girls
F.Y.I.
You know it's not the end
Don't take it lying down
No crying now
It's your world

[Chorus]
Let the music play
He won't get away
Just get the groove
And then he'll come back to you again
Let the music play
He won't get away
This groove he can't ignore it
He won't leave you anymore

S.O.S.
S.O.S.
S.O.S.

That crazy chick
Don't know who she's messing with
Look in her eyes
She's mentally undressing him
Now listen girlfriend
Better step back right now
Better get your hands off
Yeah, cause we about to get down

S.O.S.
I'm calling out again
Just a little text
And you're surrounded by your girls
F.Y.I.
I know how it's gonna end
Won't take it lying down
No crying now
It's your world

[Chorus Repeat x 2]

We're gonna get it on
No one stands a chance
You can't get enough
I'm gonna start to dance
Don't blame me now
Gonna shake it down
Gonna slow it up
Gonna hit the ground (hit the ground)
We're gonna get it on
No one stands a chance
You can't get enough
I'm gonna start to dance
Don't blame me now
Gonna shake it down
Gonna slow it up
Gonna hit the ground
Hit the ground

05 It Takes More
Tell me what happened this time
The made you come back again
I find I only see you
When love deserts you
If this is your idea
Of happiness then let's be clear
Those words of yours ain't working
Anymore

Cause I'm always giving
Here waiting while you're living
I need a new beginning
Oh, I'm not the girl I used to be
But you

[Chorus] You think maybe that I'm just so easy
You can come in and out of my life like you please
But baby no (uh-uh)
Don't you know it takes more
To keep a girl like me
No more waiting for you to change
Don't you know that you bringing flowers won't stop the rain
Baby no no (uh-uh)
Don't you know it takes more
You're no longer worth waiting for

I know you're busy so
If you gotta go then go
But don't forget to
Leave my heart
I stayed around for you but
You're no where to be found now
Once again
Here you are

Cause I'm always giving
Here waiting while you're living
I need a new beginning
Oh, I'm not the girl I used to be
But you

[Chorus Repeat]

I settled for less
When I stayed with you
But no more
Cause you ain't worth waiting for

[Chorus Repeat]

(Uh-uh) Don't you know it takes more
(Uh-uh) Don't you know it takes more (much more)
(Uh-uh) Don't you know it takes more (much more)
You're no longer worth waiting for
You think maybe that I'm just so easy
You can come in and out of my life like you please
But baby no
Don't you know it takes much more
No no, no more waiting for you to change
Don't you know that you bringing flower won't stop the rain
Nuh-oh, don't you know it takes much more

06 Watch You Go
I'm seeing brake lights
That means he's leaving me again
This is like the eighth time
I guess I'll see him in the morning
Cause he'll come back
He always does
And then we fight
And then we fuss, again
Back to the beginning

[Chorus]
But we seem to make up every time
But when we don't break up the fault is mine
But before we fall out again
There's something you should know
I hate to see you leave but I love
To watch you go, go, go
Love to watch you go, go, go


I'm seeing daylight
And I'm sitting alone in my bed
Something ain't right
So should I go to him instead
I messed up this time
I always do
And then we fight
And then we're through again
Back to the beginning

[Chorus Repeat]

Who's gonna help me save us
He made us one again
Will he take me back this time
After what I did
He has no idea
Why he should spend one more night here
It's over again, yeah

But we seem to make up every time
But when we don't break up the fault is mine
But before we fall out again
There's something you should know
I hate to see you leave but I love
To watch you go
But we seem to make up every time
But when we don't break up the fault is mine
But before we fall out again
There's something you should know
I hate to see you leave but I love
To watch you go, go, go
Love to watch you go, go, go

07 No Parade
I'm already looking back
I'm already looking around
Where did we get off the track
What was it that brought us down
I'm already waking up
Or have I been asleep too long
Losing you was hard enough
Not knowing anything was wrong

Changes come but where they go
You never know

[Chorus]
Just another day like any other
Nothing in the sky said run for cover
Just another reason
Never thought it would end this way
There was no parade
No lights flashing
No song to sing along the way

There was no parade

The story was supposed to last
You were never supposed to be
Just somebody in the past
Somebody I used to see
Trouble crept up on us
A warning never came in time
Before I knew it we were dust
Just left behind, left behind

Changes come but where they go
You never know

[Chorus Repeat]

There was no parade
No waves crashing
There was no one else around for days
There was no parade

And after all the noise I never heard a last goodbye
It was silent as a butterfly

There was no parade
No lights flashing
No song to sing along the way
There was no parade
No waves crashing
There was no one else around for days
There was no parade (no parade)
No parade (no parade)

08 Let It Rain
Shout it out
I can't hold back no more I
Let it out
All these feelings that were
Trapped inside
I was frozen every time I looked in your eyes
Clear my head
From all the cluttered things I
Should have said
That wasn't me, no I can't
Live like that
I'm waking up and there is no
Looking back

[Chorus]
Every little tear I was scared to cry
Everything I feared but I kept inside
I don't want to hold it back one more day
I wash it away
Every dark thought clouding up my head
Every single word that I never said
I refuse to feel ashamed
Let it rain (let it rain)

Let it rain

Clear the sky
I start to breathe again I
Think to hide
Let you through to who I
Am inside
Every layer 'til you get underneath my skin
Let you in, let you in

[Chorus Repeat]

Let it rain

All the hurt that's been stuck inside of me
Make it pour, make it clean
Let the rain wash me clean
Wash me clean

Let it rain

[Chorus Repeat]

Oh let it rain (oh no, no)
Wash me clean
Wash me clean

09 Emergency (911)
You know my ringtone, why don't you answer the phone
If you don't get here I'm dancing alone
Get in the fast lane cause someone will ask me if you don't
I hear the music, I'm ready to go
You better get here cause I'm dancing alone
You better get driving and turn on the siren
Cause you're in the danger zone

*Dialing*

You know it's Friday, why don't you call me
You got my number, hey I'm still waiting
Why don't you call me, aren't you my boyfriend
You're supposed to be here like an hour ago

I bought this just for you
I got my legs all smooth
I got my mani-pedi
Went and got my hair done too
All dressed up and no where to go

[Chorus]
It's an emergency, I need you here with me
It's a 911, 911
It's an emergency, can't you see
It's a 911, 911
Dying of dance deprivation, emotional starvation
I need resuscitation, getting impatient
It's an emergency, emergency
911, 911

You know I told you, you can't be late now
Watching my watch tick, tick, tick, tick
There goes my attitude, I'm almost over you
You were supposed to be here like an hour ago

That's what you always do
Give me some lame excuse
Like you were working, sleeping
Come on baby, try the truth
All dressed up and no where to go

[Chorus Repeat]

You know my ringtone, why don't you answer the phone
If you don't get here I'm dancing alone
Get in the fast lane cause someone will ask me if you don't
I hear the music, I'm ready to go
You better get here cause I'm dancing alone
You better get driving and turn on the siren
Cause you're in the danger zone

*Dialing*

It's an emergency, I need you here with me
It's a 911, it's a 911
It's an emergency, can't you see
It's a 911, 911
Dying of dance deprivation, emotional starvation
I need resuscitation, getting impatient
It's an emergency, emergency
911, 911

10 Was I The Only One
When you told me that I was a star in the sky
Baby I believed every word
You seemed so sincere, it was perfectly clear
Cause forever was all that I heard

And I don't understand
How I can feel this pain and still be alive
I fell hard over head without a safety net
I don't understand this goodbye

[Chorus]
Was I the only one who fell in love
There never really was the two of us
Maybe my own just wasn't good enough
Was I the only one, the only one in love

As I walk down the hall, see the place on the wall
Where the picture of us used to be
I fight back these tears cause I still feel you here
How could you walk out so easily

And I don't understand
How I can feel this pain and still be alive
And all these broken dreams, and all these memories
Are killing me inside

[Chorus Repeat]

Tell me how I'm supposed to live without your love
Baby, it was supposed to be the two of us
Help me cause I still don't want to believe

I was the only one
I was the only one
I was the only one who fell in love
There never really was the two of us
Maybe my own just wasn't good enough
I was the only one, the only one
I was the only one who fell in love
There never really was the two of us
Maybe my own just wasn't good enough
I was the only one, the only one in love

11 Faith
Hey there sad eyes
What's on your mind
Don't look so down
Give it some time
You don't have to be
So hard on yourself
I know the world can be a brutal place
Please don't let it steal your smile away

[Chorus]
When the sky is darkest
You can see the stars
When you fall the hardest
You find how strong you are
Close your eyes, rest a while
It's been a long, long day
So come on baby, baby
Have a little faith

Let those tears fall
You gave it your all
That's all you can do
I'll be here for you
There goes your pride
Crushed on the ground
Some times it takes a wall to tumble down
For you to see who's gonna stick around

[Chorus Repeat]

Sometimes, it gets worse before it gets better, yeah
And it takes so much to be brave
Sometimes, you're afraid it'll hurt forever
But when all the lights begin to fade

And when the sky is darkest
You can see the stars
When you fall the hardest
You find how strong you are
Close your eyes and rest a while
It's been a long, long day
So come on baby, baby
Come on baby, baby
And have a little faith

Have a little faith
So come on baby, baby
Have a little faith

But love should never bring you harm

As defining who you are
And I can fix what's broken
And here's how I'll start

Baby I'll be your cure

Your cure, yeah yeah yeah

With your heart wide open
But I can be your shelter
When the wind starts blowing

Of what's in front of you

To carry us through

So consider this moment
As defining who you are
And I can fix what's broken

If you let me heal you
Just reach out and touch me
Just let me restore

13 Papercut
I'm ok, I'm ok
Don't keep asking me, I might disintegrate
What you want, I moved on
Everything is going well
At least that's what I tell myself

I wish I was the tin man so I
Wouldn't have a heart to break

I'm ok, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All these tears are just drops in the ocean baby
You barely even crossed my mind, no no
And it doesn't hurt that much
It was only a papercut
It's only a papercut, papercut, yeah

I forget that it's there
You keep calling and calling, you don't care
How it burns, how it stings
Just cause you can't see it bleed doesn't mean it don't cut deep

I wish I was the tin man so I
Couldn't have a heart to break (ooh yeah)

I'm ok, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All these tears are just drops in the ocean baby
You barely even crossed my mind, I'll be just fine
No it doesn't hurt that much
It was only a papercut
It's only a papercut, papercut

The more I give the less I get
Sometimes I wish that we never met
Cause I was fine 'til you broke through
But don't worry baby I'll get over you
By tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day
Or the next day

I'm ok, I'll be fine
I only think about you half the time
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

I'm ok, I'll survive
I only think about you half of the time
All those tears were just drops in the ocean baby
You never even crossed my mind, no no
Boy you wish it hurt that much
It was only a papercut
It's only a papercut, papercut, yeah
It's only a papercut, papercut, yeah

I'm ok, I'm ok

14 Postcard
It's pouring outside and my roof is leaking
I just let the raindrops bleed off the ink from my notebook sheets and
Today is a Thursday and rent is three days late
I marked on the calendar and circled today's date
This is the last straw, this isn't life here
I'm packing my dreams up and leaving my nightmares

And they say go west 'til you feel the sunset
And there you'll become a star
So I traded my skinny jeans for dreams of limousines
And I'm gone

[Chorus]
I'll send you a postcard
Saying I'm alright (alright)
On the back that I'm in love with life and
And sign my name in the stars
My radio's turned up, a full tank in my car
And I'll promise we'll be together
I'll never say never
I'll always remember goodbye
Cause I gotta go
I'll send you a postcard

Smashing on the gas, 95 on the highway
Got about a thousand more miles to go, I might make it by Friday
The road's never ending, I'm never so patient
The choice is now all mine for my destination
They ask why I'm rushing, my dreams are waiting
So fasten your seat belts cause I'm gonna make it

And they say go west 'til you feel the sunset
And there you'll become a star
So I traded my skinny jeans for dreams of limousines
And I'm gone

[Chorus Repeat]

I'll send you, I'll send you a postcard (a postcard)

To whom it may concern, whoever this gets to
There's no looking back I took off my rearview
Got my hopes on the passenger side
There's only room for two
And I'll

15 Vertigo
House of mirrors, I see your face
Come nearer, it's so hot in this place
I can hear ya
I can't breathe when you touch me
I drown and I drown and I drown
Feel like Alice falling down through the hole
Can't stop this, going out of control
But I like it
In a freefall that keeps going up, going up, going up

[Chorus]
I'm so high from this love I don't want to look down
The room starts to sway every time you're around
Like the teacups at Disney you're making me dizzy
You give me vertigo
When I jump on the table I spin like a dreidel
Hold on to me baby I feel so unstable
If I tried to drive I'd get a DUI
You give me vertigo

You give me vertigo, oh oh

It's the next verse in our unwritten story
In the first words, knew you did something for me
Entangled, got your arms wrapped around me
I fall and I fall and I fall


[Chorus Repeat]

You take the ground away from right under my feet
Baby when you're around there is no gravity
It's like I'm under the influence, under the influence, under the influence
Of your love

[Chorus Repeat]

I'm so high, high, high
I'm so high, high, high

I'm so high from this love I don't want to look down
The room starts to sway every time you're around
Like the teacups at Disney you're making me dizzy
You give me vertigo
