Daydream again to escape your busy head
It's okay now, you can breathe, 
create a place your thoughts won't reach
Write it all down, a world you could live in
One that doesn't hurt you like this, 
a paradise that doesn't exist

Paper daydreamer, dream away
Life's much better on a page

Write about change 
but always stay the same
Sing about letting go but never try to grow
In this place that you create,
you could be the hero
No one could ever bring you down, just keep your head lost in the clouds

Paper daydreamer, dream away
Life's much better on a page
Paper daydreamer, please stay the same
You won't ever have to change

Fabricate to stay the same, arrange and create just to evade
Write all of my problems to a page and pretend that makes it all okay
Afraid to face the truth 'cause I know it would break me
I know it's not healthy, but I can't stop and you can't make me
So, lost in this dream I will stay, sleepwalk my way

I'm just a,
Paper daydreamer, dreaming away
Life's so much better on a page
Paper daydreamer, light years in space
Our two worlds are not the same
Paper daydreamer, dream, dream away
I know I won't ever change

Daydream again, daydream again

Paper Daydreamer

Empty streets and vacant memories
All of my friends have moved away
Underneath the lonely moonlight, I walk
Thinking about the change I'm too afraid to make

It's hard to leave the place that you've called home,
you feel like you'll betray the ones you love
If you never leave the nest and spread your wings,
the boundless sky will never open up
You can't learn to fly unless you jump

But I'm alright, I swear to you that I'll be fine
I've got to live the rest of my life, it's about time
You know that I'm afraid but I will brave away this fear of change

The hardest part of leaving is when you learn to say goodbye
So, let's not call it what it is tonight

Call It What It Is

Time doesn't wait, 
time doesn't stay the same forever
It's always changing
Try as you may, 
no one can escape that ticking clock

If you knew that today would be your 
final day on this Earth,
would you be afraid?
Would you leave as a memory, 
or a forgotten mistake?

And maybe I'll be better off in the future
or in another life, should I get a second chance
I could beg for something better to come my way,
but time, time, time, time doesn't wait

Time

Hold your breath and keep your head over water
I know it's hard right now to breathe
Troubles will pass and then you'll not be bothered
I know you'll make it through eventually, but

Did I ever tell you that all of the stars in the sky are jealous of you?
'Cause you'd put them all out of work

If it takes a life time, I will wait 
If it takes forever, I will stay
Cause every star in every night couldn't compare to your light
If it takes a while, I will wait
If it makes you smile, I will stay
Cause every star in the night sky couldn't outshine you,

You're too bright, too bright
(Did I ever tell you you're too bright?)
You're too bright, you're too bright
(Did I ever tell you you're too bright?)
My starlight

All Of The Stars

Painting Flowers

Haunted

I've been over thinking,
I've been underneath some sort of spell and I just can't shake it
I've been sinking in the sheets of my own bed, 
they wrap around me like a noose and I can't break it

In the coldest winter night, 
I lie awake beneath the ceiling's starry sky wondering why
Contemplating, call it thinking, maybe healing, 
I'd call it a lie I use to get by

And I don't know how it got so bad
If I could I would take it all back
Rewind the hands of fate and time,
pretend all along I knew how to get it right
But second chances don't come cheap
and I'm not sure it's what I need
I've learned nothing, that won't change,
so let this broken echo fade

I've been over thinking,
I've been haunted by the things I should've said and never did
I've been drinking in the silence that surrounds me 
'til I can't hear a thing inside my head

In the coldest winter night, 
I lie awake beneath the weight of the sky and I know why
Feel the pressure, feel the pain, 
pretend that I don't fear the change but that's a lie I use to get by

And I don't know how it got so bad
If I could I would take it all back
Rewind the hands of fate and time,
pretend all along I knew how to get it right
But second chances don't come cheap
and I'm not sure it's what I need
I've learned nothing, that won't change,
so let this broken echo fade

I've been overthinking but I think I'll stop
I've been under sleeping and I just can't shake this thought
In the coldest winter night, I realize what I have lost
I'll pretend it doesn't hurt me but lying has a cost

And I don't know how it got so bad
If I could I would take it all back
Rewind the hands of fate and time,
pretend all along I knew how to get it right
But second chances don't come cheap
and I'm not sure it's what I need
I've learned nothing, that won't change,
so let this broken echo fade

Let the broken echo fade

Echo

Open your eyes, you fell asleep just as we passed the city lights
I know you're tired but it's an awfully long drive
With no one to talk to, I think I would lose my mind
from thinking too much and counting all the passing road signs

Starlight will trickle in through the windshield, 
light cast against you
Drive all night 'til we finally find our way through
It's no surprise that the midnight darkness 
tries to steal our starry eyes
Running on empty but we're alive

One look from you and I'll just drive

Tell me your dream, was it everything you wanted it to be?
And should I say sorry for waking you up from your sleep?
With no one to talk to, I think I would lose my way
Thinking too much without you to keep the thoughts at bay

Starlight will trickle in through the windshield, 
light cast against you
Drive all night 'til we finally find our way through
It's no surprise that the midnight darkness 
tries to steal our starry eyes
Running on empty but we're alive

Starlight will trickle in through the windshield, 
light cast against you
Drive all night 'til we finally find our way through

Starlight will trickle in through the windshield, 
light cast against you
Drive all night 'til we finally find our way through
It's no surprise that the midnight darkness 
tries to steal our starry eyes
Running on empty but we're alive

Running on empty but we're alive
One look from you and I'll just drive
