2 AM (Full Song)

you got steel cut eyes  
and youre walking through the pouring rain 
aren't you afraid they'll rust 
and you won't see things the same  
 
but I don't think it matters to you 
you always stared with your soul 
so won't you take a second will you 
before I lose control 
 
so I'm waiting on my eyes 
to show me the way 
'cause my heart can't be trusted  
with the time of day 
 
strike me by surprise 
when you aren't so blind  
and you can really see  
what's in my mind 
 
maybe it turns that I was wrong  
but maybe it was like that all along  
but baby it's a cooler air to breathe 
the one that you can feel when you believe  
 
that you're the only with that healing stare  
even if you think not  
it's still there 
 
I could look at you all of the day  
without turning my head 
any sort of way 
 
but I don't think it matters, do you? 
you're a sweetheart anyway 
but I need to know if it's true  
my love or it's a game  
 
so I'm waiting on my eyes 
to show me the way 
'cause my heart can't be trusted  
with the time of day 
 
strike me by surprise 
when you still aren't mine 
even when you can see 
what's in my mind

Lost Eyes WIP

I can't even think straight  
And here you got me staying up late 
Thinking about you 
but I fall right through  
 
everything that makes sense  
keeping me elated but so tense 
so I can't find out 
What I'm about 
 
|: but I'm pretty sure it's you 
 and I don't think  
I need a second guess 
'cause everything you do 
seems much better  
than the lesser rest  
 
darling would you say 
that everything could  
be so very fine 
so maybe make my  
day and tell me  
that you could be mine :| 
 
I can't even tell you  
half the thoughts id love to be true 
because I'm a mess 
more or less 
 
I can't keep on dreaming  
waiting for a magic evening  
where to what a shock 
I can talk 
 
[- and maybe  
I could tell you  
Everything that I thought  
 
so baby  
take a minute  
Please give me a shot 
 
Tell me 
What you're thinking 
I just need to know 
 
so we'll see 
eye to eye  
on how this all will go-]

Second Guess WIP

am I wasting my time  
am I wasting my time  
when thoughts of you 
my soul colored blue 
could be thoughts of mine  
 
it ain't easy to 
try to think straight through  
all of this doubt  
That screams, kicks and shouts 
From every point of view 
 
[ 'cause it's you that's got me  
on the edge  
but I try to just speak;  
forced to dredge  
through my thoughts that I know  
god forbid may be gone 
 
but what's the reason 
for all of this  
in an endless season 
I kinda miss 
when things were changing 
for the better or worse ] 
 
maybe I could just quit 
like your my last cigarette  
just one puff 
then ive had enough  
I don't need any of this  
  
'cause you and the way 
you seem to brighten the day 
makes me think like a fool 
those skies of blue  
aren't really skies of grey 
 
[c] 
 
but I can't explain 
why you drive me insane 
maybe it's just me  
what else could it be 
when all I do is in vain 
 
I'm sure it must be so 
I'm the only one that I know  
so twisted inside 
That i could try  
to blame you for this show

Grey Skies WIP

the futures bright  
but it seems colder 
but what doesn't  
when you get older 
but what do I know  
with these baseless thoughts 
only the day will tell 
 
[so trickle down  
with your white sun rays  
in the fog  
where I can't see at all 
 
tell me when 
things begin to stay 
since by then  
I won't know who to call] 
 
things must change 
that how it's always been  
doesn't really matter  
who loses or wins 
but what really shows  
are the memories left 
that only some will sell 
 
 
[c] 
 
the problem is i don't know if i can let you go 
 
will you leave  
or will you stay 
in my mind 
like all i've left behind 
 
tell me if  
things go your way 
it's all I want  
before this all unwinds
