Fools

It’s been a long time
It’s been a long time coming
To get away for a while
Far away from the little white lies
That I believed in
Ended up leaving them all
Caught in the straight line
Never changing 

And we are running like fools
And we are running like fools
And we can never go back
Never go back to the rules 

And we are running like fools
And we are running like fools
Burning all our bridges in two
Lighting the way to the truth 

She was a dreamer
Never been away from home
Chasing the stars in her eyes
All the way to the Hollywood sign 

Caught in the mystery
And stole a car in the summer
She made her way out of state
Getting closer to something so far away 

(Chorus)

Got a restless mind tonight
I can’t stand still
When I’m running out of time

I Don’t Want to Know You

On the bottom of the ocean floor
Another wasted night
Staring down the empty trophies
I’ll take your hand in mine 

But I don’t want to know you, baby

Ancient practice
Burning mattress
Summer dreams tonight
Waking to the sound of sentimental alibis 

But I don’t want to know you, baby
I don’t want to know

Sweater Weather

She lives next door
In the ivy-covered house
On the rooftop, confident
Sleeping in the warmth
Through the trees and the falling autumn leaves
She tells me stories of when she was a queen 

We could run
But there’s nowhere else to go
Tell me dear
Go on
Beautiful you are 

Too close to not be holding hands
Throwing consequence aside
In your coat fighting off the frosted air
We’re sure of ourselves
Sure of it now 

You had to know
That I was fond of you
Tell me dear
Go on
Beautiful you are 

You could say that I want you to
Like I know you do, you do, you do
Go on

You can stay here
You can have what’s yours
I’ve exhausted myself running through closing doors
Maybe you’ve noticed I’m tired of waiting
Tired of hanging around
Tired of explaining tired of hiding
Tired of dying out 

All we have is right now
I don’t fall apart easy
No, I don’t break down
There’s a part of me
Crying out to be found 

I’m looking for the rhythm
Looking for a way in
Looking for a little love 

I’m looking for some trouble
If you promise not to laugh out loud
I’ll never give it up 

These 3x5s
Tell our story
Filtered memories
Trapped in time
Now it’s over
We’re out of frame
Overexposed
Out of range 

Now you see me
Now you don’t 

No, you can’t touch up
All your lies
Shots were fired in our tired eyes 

Now it’s over
We’re out of range
Overexposed
Out of frame

 We used to have it
Oh, so easy
We held it in our hands
A lazy summer’s afterthought
We never made a plan 

I remember last September’s
Picture-perfect evening
Staring down the sun, I wondered
How we lost the feeling 

It’s true

Everybody has a question mark on where to stand
Roll my sleeves and cuff my pants
This is not my holy land 

Writers writing
Riding high
How many lies do you make?
How many smiles do you fake?
I’ll tear you down like an old hotel
By the water that you’re drowning in 

It’s true

How can I be free
When all I want is to be trapped by you
I do 

It’s gonna take all summer long
To hold you in my arms
Tell me what I want to hear
Your words are never wrong

They say you’ve got everything that you want
But I know you don’t
Money and fame
Everyone knows your name
But do they want you? Who knows 

Do they want you?

 Prove it to yourself
(Do you want to?)
Prove it to yourself
(Do you really need to?)
Prove it to yourself) 

Twenty years ago, the star of the show
Holly would if she could’ve
Nothing lasts forever, baby
Top of the TV
But the silver screen didn’t need ya 

(Chorus)

You better be careful
You better look out

Tell me why
When I’m looking into your eyes
I want to tell you everything
But I don’t, I don’t
Do you think that our secrets will keep us alone?
I want to tell you everything
But I won’t, I won’t 

Say what you say
I won’t turn away
‘Cause I know that I can be true
My haunted heart has wandered alone
Till you 

We are all shadows with dreams in our heads
And timing makes a difference
I know you know
Never felt I could find a place to call home
All I want is you next to me
I know you know 

Say what you say
I won’t turn away
‘Cause I know that I can be true
Darling the past is written in stone

And you don’t want to know 
No, you don’t 
Do you want to know a secret?

No, you don’t
