"If I Fall (Don't Leave Me)"

I promise you I'll fight this current if you'll be my anchor
These waves, they mean nothing to me
Though the stars fall like rain drops spread out on the water
Won't surface till I need to breathe
And someday we'll fall away
In the night, silence calls my name

Please just don't leave me all on my own
If I fall asleep, will I wake up all alone?

In the wake of a storm I will build you a shelter
And I'll wait in the cold keeping watch
And the sky, it will fall to the earth like a feather
Forever a twist in the plot
And someday we'll fall away
In the night, silence calls my name

Please just don't leave me all on my own
If I fall asleep, will I wake up all alone?

(Will I wake up all alone?)
I'm holding on again but things will never change, they never change
I'm singing our song again but it is not the same, it's not the same
I swear I'll be stronger when my eyes are wide awake, I'm wide awake
I'm singing our song again but it is not the same, it's not the same, I'm telling you it's not the same

Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

Please just don't leave me all on my own
If I fall asleep, will I wake up alone?
(I'm holding on again but things will never change, they never change)
Please just don't leave me all on my own
(I'm singing our song again but it is not the same, it's not the same, it's not the same)
If I fall asleep, will I wake up all alone?

I promise you I'll fight this current if you'll be my anchor
'Cause these waves mean nothing to me

If I Fall (Don't Leave Me)

I wonder what it's like
Living in your shell
Closed border to the world
The safest place you know

And you know
I dream of you sometimes
Guess you're still on my mind
'Cause I relapse from time to time
I'm slipping out of line

Cold coffee on your shelf
It's been there for some time
Which you don't seem to mind
Although it keeps you up at night
It happens every night
Every night

Where are you now?
And do you think of me when the lights go out?
Where have you been all of these years?
(I left the door open for you)
Wherever you are
I hope you think of me when times get dark
Give me hope and I'll give in
(I left the porch lights on for you)
I'll give in

(I left the door open for you)
(I left the door open for you)
I'll give in

(I left the door open for)

The Safest Place You Know (demo)

Pressed against the wall
I felt the engine stall
And you're not moving
Holding up my head
I turned toward you and said
If you're still with me

Save yourself now
I've found my way out

Passing 95, feel the wind rush by
But I'm not driving
I check the driver's seat
A crumpled old receipt
No one's at the wheel

Save yourself now
I've found my way out
Save yourself now
(I want this, I need this, don't be the voice of reason)
I've found my way out
(I want this, I need this, can't help me anyway)

And I can't slow down
And I can't slow down
And I can't slow down now

Going back for more
I've been there before
It's not worth trying

Official Lyric Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUO1XK10TaQ

Come whatever, I won't take you back
Burned that bridge the day I buried our past
So what have you done?
Who have you become?
You're the reason I don't trust anyone
The game is over I'm done

You had the chance
(You turned your back on all your friends)
Laid down your guns
(So you'd never sleep alone again)
The world is breaking and you're still taking
It's always on your mind
It's with you all the time

So whatever happens next I'll have you know
You're the reason I've been feeling alone
Now what have I done?
Who have I become?
Do anything to keep myself far from you
Nothing else will do

You had the chance
(You turned your back on all your friends)
Laid down your guns
(So you'd never sleep alone again)
The world is breaking and you're still taking
(and I'm not alright)
It's always on your mind
It's with you all the time

So what do you say to that my old friend?
You swore you'd change, we both know how that went
And it's such a shame that I'm not there to tell you
That I'm the reason you don't feel right anymore
(Alright)

You had the chance
(You turned your back on all your friends)
Laid down your guns
(So you'd never sleep alone again)
The world is breaking and you're still taking
(and I'm not alright)
It's always on your mind
It's with you all the time
(You're the reason I don't trust anyone)
It's with you all the time
It's with you all the time
It's with you all the

With You All the Time

Here I am, back against the wall
One more step, a never-ending fall
I know you found my heart in stone
I feel lost but I'm not alone

What can I say to make you believe me
I swore I'd never let you go
If you were in my place you would make it look easy
The lights are on but no one's home

We fell far down the rabbit hole
Counting scars wrapped around your soul
I found you under your own spell
Tried to hide it but you know me too well

What can I say to make you believe me
I swore I'd never let you go
If you were in my place you would make it look easy
The lights are on but no one's home

What if it's all a dream
And nothing is what it seems
Would we go back or kill the lights and fall asleep
Give me one more night
Don't turn out that light
In the end we'll both be alright
We'll both be alright

And I'm not scared about 
what you think or what you say next
'Cause I don't care about 
anything or anyone else now

What can I say to make you believe me
(Believe me, it's not easy)
I swore I'd never let you go
If you were in my place you would make it look easy
(I need you, do you need me)
The lights are on but no one's home
(Say you will and I'll forget the world)
What can I say to make you believe me
(Believe me, it's not easy)
I swore I'd never let you go
(Say you will and I'll forget the world)
If you were in my place you would make it look easy
(I need you, do you need me)
The lights are on so come home
