Lyrics:
From now I'm taking love day by day
Taking my time every step of the way
From now I'm taking love day by day
Oh no it's true
I don't want another you

Unspoken words and false apologies won’t move me
Love from an empty heart, or so it seemed
Trying time and time and time again
To remend all the broken ends
But won't you won't you won't you just say you’ll stay
For another day?

From now I'm taking love day by day
Taking my time every step of the way
From now I'm taking love day by day
Oh no it's true
I don't want another you

Trying to act so cool
You think I don't know that you've got time like I do?
Giving all it away
You've been leaning on your promises that don't stay true
Lying to myself
Saying this is better than to see her with someone else
Keep playing pretend, should have already ended

But I'm trying time and time and time again
To remend all the broken ends
But won't you won't you won't you just say you’ll stay
For another day?

Now I'm taking love day by day
Don't you know it's better this way?

From now I'm taking love day by day
Taking my time every step of the way
From now I'm taking love day by day
Oh no it's true
I don't want another you

Love Day By Day

Lyrics:
Trying hard to get over
Trying harder to stay sober
But the feeling won’t stop buzzing in my head
Our goodbyes getting shorter
Perhaps we’re both just older
But all you’ve left me with's your imprint in my bed

I've been doubting everything I say
Walking on egg shells just to get to you
But to tell the truth
The messages I send never convey how I’ve been feeling bout it
But that's okay

Cause I'd hate to think your love is just for show
Oh I fear that you don’t feel it anymore
Hate to think your love is just for show
Oh I fear that you don’t feel it anymore, not anymore

Wasting time, no conclusion
Between sadness and confusion
Wishing we could take back what we said
Left without warning
Could’ve stayed till the morning
But all you’ve left me withs your imprint in my bed

And I've been doubting everything I say
Walking on egg shells just to get to you
And to tell the truth
You don't wanna hear anything I have to say
and that's okay

Cause I'd hate to think your love is just for show
Oh I fear that you don’t feel it anymore
Hate to think your love is just for show
Cause I fear that you don’t feel this anymore, not anymore

Imprint In My Bed

Lyrics:
Far from new
Love spoils too
Long afternoons with no one to talk to
Parting ways
She walks away
Caught in a haze with nothing to do

Cause it gets hard sometimes
When you’re on my mind
Oh my life's been put on pause
And it gets hard sometimes
When you’re not mine
Oh and say it ain't true
But I've heard she’s found somebody new

Tell me please
How could it be?
Can you believe it used to be easy?
Unlocked door,
just like before
Stuck in my dreams where she still needs me

And it gets hard sometimes
When you’re on my mind
Oh my life's been put on pause
And it gets hard sometimes
When you’re not mine and
Oh just say it ain't true
Cause I've heard you've found somebody new

Say It Ain't True

I Don't Wanna Know from the "Hope You Notice" album.

Lyrics:
I don't wanna know
If he's making you happy
And I don't wanna know
If he's falling for you
And I don't wanna know
If you're feeling the same way too
Cause it used to be me and you

I don't wanna know
and I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know if it's true

I Don't Wanna Know

Lyrics:
Come on over I'm lonely, lonely
Spend the night, just you and me 
Oh if you'd be my only, only one
Oh I'm tired of talking through this screen
X2

Oh it seems so far away
Yokohama by the bay
Longing for some company
wishing you’d reach out to me and

say “How was your day?”
“I’ve been day dreaming bout that date” and
Maybe we could see (I'm hoping we could see)
What there is between you and me

Come on over I'm lonely, lonely
Spend the night, just you and me 
Oh if you'd be my only, only one
Oh I'm tired of talking through this screen
X2

Always have to think it through
Try to turn my skies to blue
Still it feels like somethings wrong
And I’ve known it all along

Won't you say “How was your day?”
I’ve been day dreaming bout that date and
Maybe we could see
What there is between you and me

Come on over I'm lonely, lonely
Spend the night, just you and me 
Oh if you'd be my only, only one
Oh I'm tired of talking through this screen
X2

Lyrics:
I hope you don’t notice
Stumbling on words when that feeling hits
It blooms like a lotus
with caffeine highs on that cushy bliss

Oh I’m starting to understand
Why men turn to fools, just for a chance
Through mountains and snow, just for your grace
When all they really know is a name and a face

You texted back and life began
You are my vice, hope you understand
You texted back and life began
Let me know if you’d be free to meet again

Afternoon on a park bench
View of the ground, feeling tense
Shuffle on over
Touch of my fix through soft fingertips 

Oh I’m starting to understand
Why men turn to fools, just for one chance
Through fantasy clouds, just for your grace
When all they really know is a name and a face

You texted back and life began
You are my vice, hope you understand
You texted back and life began
Let me know when you’d be free to meet again

Lyrics:
Try far too hard
like a shameless serenade
More desperate than ever before

If on fertile ground
can love grow without a sound?
So gently, like a kiss

And why is it that love has no reason?
A fool who fell too hard
She barely sees him
The twinkle in her eyes lifts him higher than a dream
How I wish you were my lucky star

Fading away with each passing day
Hoping that this is her type
For one afternoon I would be anybody
Oh to be closer to you

And why is it that love has no reasons?
A fool who fell too hard
She barely sees him
The twinkle in your eyes lifts me higher than a dream
How I wish you were my lucky,
wish you were my lucky,
Wish you were my lucky star

Hope You Notice
