Welcome to the end of everyone
Where are you gonna be tonight
It's in fashion to be passionate, love 
Do you believe in that big lie

There's an army out there dancing alone
The bars are empty every night
Don't you wanna feel the neon glow
Don't you wanna feel alive

Where did love go
(Far away)
(Far away)
Where did love go
Too far from me

Welcome to the empty space in your mind
The digital overflow 
You can fill it with whatever you like
A cowboy with a new lasso

There's an army out there dancing alright
You're sitting with your cats at home
Don't you wanna light the fire tonight
Don't you wanna know

Where did love go
(Far away)
(Far away)
Where did love go
Too far from me

I'd rather be dead than boring
I'd rather be dead than boring

Where did love go
Where did love go
Where did love go
Where did love go
Too far from me

Where Did Love Go

People do it all the time 
And I know better than to give in to it 
Havent been able to cry
But I know everybody lets go

I can see us taking time
In a new direction 
Tell me it’ll be alright 
I need it to get better

I dont wanna live the life ive been living 
I dont wanna be alive if this is it 
I dont wanna spend another day without you 
I dont wanna waste the time ive been given 
I dont wanna be alive if this is it 
If youre not dead and im not dead 
Then we’re never dead

I’ve been working on myself 
Wont give more than what I can deliver 
Sick of dancing with my doubts
Let’s get lost down different roads now

I can see us taking time
In a new direction 
Tell me it’ll be alright 
I need it to get better

I dont wanna live the life ive been living 
I dont wanna be alive if this is it 
I dont wanna spend another day without you 
I dont wanna waste the time ive been given 
I dont wanna be alive if this is it 
If youre not dead and im not dead 
Then we’re never dead

I don’t wanna live the life I’ve been living
I don’t wanna make the choice I’ve been given
I dont wanna spend another day with you
I don’t wanna waste a rhyme on this rhythm
Maybe this time it’s time that we give in
Maybe this time we’re dead

Not Dead

Different now
Nothings changed
All the bullshit that I made

Blinked once
Boring came
And it filled up every seat

The bitter tears I try to cry
Got branded as a summer night
I almost gave up right then

Somebody's breaking (somebody's breaking)
My Heart (my heart my heart)
Guess who it is (Summer nights)
Guess who it is (Summer nights)

It is my fault
Is it fate
What is my part in this decay

I tried my best
To create
But my body needs to eat

The words that I don’t even like
Get played a couple million times
To anyone who with a screen

Somebody's breaking (somebody's breaking)
My Heart (my heart my heart)
Guess who it is (Summer nights)
Guess who it is (Summer nights)

Different now
Nothings changed
All the content that I make

Can’t tell how much
I have caved
Or have I always been this way

I’ve tried to re align my mind
To dream and not to advertise
My world is more than a brief
I tried a tab a little dab
Some pillars of the yankee sand
It always turns to grey

Somebody's breaking (somebody's breaking)
My Heart (my heart my heart)
Guess who it is (Summer nights)
Guess who it is (Summer nights)

Summer Nights (Guess Who It Is)

Don’t leave me alone
I know what will happen if you go
Been living like this for a while
I don’t remember how to take control
I guess it’s coming for me
The wall crushing my sanity 
My dreams of romance 
Someone is my hands
I used to see the future me
But he’s slipping slipping away

I’m afraid
That I can’t give up on you
You’re in my brain
I don’t know how to let go
I’m afraid 
I’m afraid
I’m afraid
I’m Afraid

I know what to say
To stop people asking if I’m ok
I know that I’m not gonna die
Maybe that’s what everybody thinks
Before a little bit more
The sticky feeling I can’t beat
Like peanut brittle on my teeth
I used to see the future me
But he’s slipping slipping away

I’m afraid
That I can’t give up on you
You’re in my brain
I don’t know how to let go
I’m afraid
That I can’t give up on you
You’re in my brain
I don’t know how to let go

The sticky feeling I can’t beat
Like peanut brittle on my teeth
I used to see the future me
But he’s slipping slipping away

The sticky feeling I can’t beat
Like peanut brittle on my teeth
I used to see the future me
But he’s slipping slipping away

I’m afraid
That I can’t give up on you
You’re in my brain
I don’t know how to let go
I’m afraid
That I can’t give up on you
You’re in my brain
I don’t know how to let go

I'm ok with sleeping on the floor
Morning sun under the door
Acting like I'm 20 till I'm 50

I'm not giving up or giving in
Trading time for simple sins
Every days a gamble 50/50

I have seen such brighter days
I know they happen
I have lived in finer ways
But not very often

I stopped searching for that something more
Thousand ways to kill boar
Sick back and dissolve into the 50’s

I’m not slowin up or selling out
One more shot can’t take me down
Every moves a gamble 50/50

I have lived in reckless ways
I got what I wanted
But when wanting turns to shame
My eyes got to open

Call me what you want
I'm never gonna stop

Oh
50/50
Oh
50/50

I'm ok with sleeping on the floor
Morning sun under the door
Acting like I'm 20 till I'm 50

I'm not giving up or giving in
Trading time for simple sins
Every days a gamble 50/50

I have lived in reckless ways
I got what I wanted
But when wanting turns to shame
My eyes got to open

Call me what you want
I'm never gonna stop

Why do you only love
What you can’t touch
Why do you only love

I don’t float
I don’t walk through walls 
I don’t even scare you anymore
So I don’t know why you talk to me like I’m a ghost

I’m not gone
But I’m not under the floors
I don’t even live here anymore
So why do you keep trying to talk to me

Why do you only love
What you can't touch
Why do you only love
What you can't touch

You're not wrong
There’s more a vibe when we're apart
But apart leads us to close
And when we’re close
We both totally implode

So fuck your dad
Fuck his anecdotes about musicians he knows
Fuck your friends
I’ve never tried so hard to make somebody moan

Why do you only love
What you can't touch
Why do you only love
What you can't touch

Tell me where you gonna be tonight
Show me something dangerous my dear
Everything has gone to shit alright
Everyone agrees but no one cares

Tell me who I’m supposed to be
Give me something to believe
And I'll be there
Just pretend its all okay
Everything will go away
But I'll be there

Don’t forget to smile
Don't forget to smile for me

Do you feel like something's missing
Like your life is slowing slipping through your hands
What would happen if it went away
And we're quietly forgotten in the end

Tell us who we’re supposed to be
Give us something to believe
We'll be there
Just pretend its all ok
Everything will go away
As long as we’re there

And don’t forget to smile
Don't forget to smile for me

Yeah don't forget to smile
Don't forget to smile for me

Smile

She's staying around or else she's goin away
It could be forever or it might be a day
Or may be forever i call her a mercury girl
She's building me up & then she's knocking me down
Like a factory chimney in a northern town
And i am demolished i call her a mercury girl
She never sees me till the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl
One day once when i've got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
She slipped through my fingers & i missed the mercury girl
She came back to me with her mocking eyes
She told me she loved me but it could have been lies
And life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
Life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
One day once when i've got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
She slipped through my fingers & i missed the mercury girl
And life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
Life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
