Something tells me that you're scared
scared like I am and unprepared to fall in love again
to fall in arms again
Look at the stars, they tell the story
of a girl, oh so lonely
wants to fall in love again
to give it all away

And you cannot become who you are
without knowing where you've been
And you cannot find yourself
until you've lost it all again
Just find your star, you'll find your story
and you can hold me oh, so gently
And we can take off in the morning
and we can write our brand new story

Try to wait for the appropriate time
to steal your heart, just like a crime
I left mine back at the scene
watching you through your TV screen
You've got my head up in the clouds
and there's no way I can live without
finding love again, to fall in arms again

And when the push comes to the shove
we cannot give up on love
We cannot give up on us
And when the push comes to the shove
and you find what you need most
hold it until those eyes of yours close

A List of People to Forget

written by Brandon Millikin and Brady Kerr © 2013

I'm just scared to smile
'cause  I don't want to wreck
everything we built
while you abandon ship
We're jumping into sea
and floating into space
Hold onto this picture
so you don't forget my face

They say that lightning never strikes
twice in the same place
Then how is it that I crashed
into you that day?
It must have been the traffic
were you blinded by the sun?
When my eyes caught you
I knew you were the one

And I will never abandon this ship 
Even if it's sinking
I'll go down with it
I'll just fill my lungs
with more oxygen
and I'll learn how to just swim

And even the sun is jealous
of the way you shine
The reason why there's darkness
is that the moon fell behind
I'm placing my heart on the ground
'cause sometimes the only way up
is to go down
And maybe when the sky falls
and you're left all alone
you'll realize you are the place
that I call my home
I gotta keep these lips
from going numb on me
'cause they're the only reason
that I can't speak

And I will never abandon this ship 
Even if it's sinking
I'll go down with it
I'll just fill my lungs
with more oxygen
and I'll learn how to just swim

And these waves consume the air
as they crash into the sea
But I could walk on water
if you were right next to me
No longer hanging by a thread
as darkness dims
for the first time we could swim

And I will never abandon this ship 
Even if it's sinking
I'll be going down with it
And I will never abandon this ship 
Even if it's sinking
I'll go down with it
I'll just fill my lungs
with more oxygen
and I'll learn how to just swim

Shipwreck

The stars are speaking to me tonight
They tell me just how far away you are
And though I know that we will never be
I somehow feel you orbiting around my heart

And in your own little galaxy
I know you'll never be too far...too far from me
I'll never be too far from you
I know exactly who we are...we're shooting stars

With you I have learned to take what I can get
And every moment sparks with just a little bit more clarity, baby, oh
I've taught myself not to hold my breath again
'Cause somehow, somewhere I know you're still here with me
and it's driving me crazy

No longer weighed down by this weightless infinity
And for the first time I can breathe
And girl, we're shining like the sea
No longer searching for the words to say
We'll use the ones that decided to stay
And let the stars light up the way
And in your own galaxy, I know that you still hear me

And in your own little galaxy
I know you'll never be too far
And in your own little galaxy
I know you'll never be out of reach
I call your name...I feel you doing the same
I know exactly who we are

Who We Are

If you're only gonna let me down
Can you let me down real slow?
I'm dying to get to know you
Trying to move in close

You try not to notice me
But it's deep down that you know
I'm the one that you want
And you'll never let me go

I'd walk a thousand miles
But every step I take
Is pulling me away
Like a star burning out in space
Like a star burning out in space

I knew that something had to give
I knew that something wasn't right
As I watched your taillights race like comets
Through the bleeding night sky

What do you say we take a chance
Chance on you and me?
When two hearts collide
Some call this destiny
So tell me, tell me, tell me
Where did this all go wrong?
Why am I holding on
When you've been gone for so damn long?

They say sometimes
You gotta let go
But right here, right now, today
I don't think so
'Cause my love for you it grows
Like a tornado
And I fear we have become so hollow

If I'm the only one you want
Why's it hard for you to stay?
I'd give you everything
But would you give it back to me?
All I want is one last chance
Chance on the falling star
To reverse the gravity
And get back to who we are

Sometimes they say
You gotta let go
But right here, right now, today
I don't think so
'Cause my love for you it grows
Like a tornado
And I fear we have become so hollow

But sometimes you got to let go


Let Go

Said I wanna be the first thing you think about
When you wake up in the morning
I wanna be your fresh cup
When your eyes are feeling groggy
I wanna be your right slipper and then the next
Wanna be your first "good morning" text
I'll be your flapjacks, no takebacks
And yeah, I'll have a side of that

Sure, I'll have some cream with this
But will you please hold the sugar?
'Cause my stomach can't appetite
To dream a little bigger.
I'd be lying through my teeth right now
If i said you're not all I think about
Let's go back to bed, and sleep instead

So should we take this from the kitchen
And go straight up the stairs
'Cause I could watch you for hours
But I shouldn't dare
Go through all the motions
That are playing through my head
I don't wanna work today
So let's go back to bed

And every single moment
We are getting older
Older than we were yesterday
Can we stay like this forever
And just hold onto each other
And never stop living life this way?


The Breakfast Song

And I have found that
It's not easy to control how you feel 
So you let it all go to reveal yourself
And who you are.
But, you're falling so quick
Getting sick of this shit
And you try and you try
But will you ever get?

How can you say that you're not alive?
When these fireflies light up this burning night sky
Just for you.

Find your great escape
Just a simple phrase could turn your skies from gray
To the deepest shades of crimson and blue
For you have come so far
Just to give up now
And there's no way in hell
Let your doubts burn out
Let them burn down to the ground

And every wish you've made
I'll catch them for you
And your every broken dream
I'll fix them for you

How can you say that you're not alive?

Burned Out

written by Brandon Millikin and Brady Kerr © 2013

You got my heartbeat racing like a marathon
I keep my shadow behind me and my face in the sun
I'll be your getaway car, your safe ride home
I'll be your pick-me-up when you feel all alone

And I'm getting tired
'Cause I've been running towards you for so long

Is this right where you wanted me,
Wrapped around your finger so tightly?
Let me be your safe ride home in the morning
'Cause I could be your one souped-up trick pony
Forget about everything that was in the past
You shouldn't worry about what you had and what you have
All that matters is what lies ahead
And this getaway car will take us there

Sleep with your eyes wide open and you grip the pillow tight
To forget all the things that he should have done right
If you don't wanna know then you should never ask
You're like a boomerang, but you're never coming back

And I know it's hard, it's getting harder and harder to sleep

Getaway Car

I am covered in your perfume
It's like everywhere I go
I'm reminded of you
And I can't escape
Nor do I want to
Fall out of this trap you've made

Whoa, can you slow this down for me?
'Cause I don't want to spin against the pull of gravity
Whoa, and this love is suicide
Every time I stare at you I die
I die

And I'm going through these motions
But they're all backwards now
It's like you flipped my whole world inside out
It's the stillness in the air
when you're looking back at me
It's the middle of the day and I'm counting sheep

And everything is crystal clear
Pushed in orbit around  the stratosphere
And I don't wanna ever touch down
We've worked so hard to become who we are now

Whoa, can you slow this down for me?

Say Something (Cover)

written by Brandon Millikin © 2012

Falling deeper and deeper in my mind
Surrounded by the stars and this beautiful night sky
But, you can't see this 'cause your blinded by
What's right in front of you
Well, it's been me this entire time
Falling like a meteor that has no traction
If only you can hear how I felt there'd be no question
First kiss, who knew, what sweet, soft lips could do?

And I will run with you
I'll change my name for you
I'll ditch this town with you
Do all things like they're brand new
I will fly wherever you want me to
I'll run with you
These five words I swear to you

Falling awake, I am just daydreaming again
We'll light up the spark and watch the smoke burst into flames
Confined by gravity that holds you to the ground
If you let me in I'll be the one to never let you down
Refuse to be the one to not get your affection
So surrender your arms and let your heart be mine for the taking
One night, that's so kind
Will make you sway your mind

And I will run with you
I'll change my name for you
I'll ditch this town with you
Do all things like they're brand new
I will fly wherever you want me to
I'll run with you
These five words I swear to you

And I'll write these words down on paper
So big you can see them like a tall skyscraper
Just give me your time that's all I need
Just one night, one night

Run With You

written by Brandon Millikin © 2012

When the sun goes down and the moon comes up
We rest our heads at night
And we all just float away in our silly, little dreams
I will think of you and all we do
Everything will come true
So, just hold your breath 'til the very last second
Kiss me now...I'm young and reckless

Feeling so reckless

And as I focus on the only thing that makes me happy
I decided I've got a one-way street and nothing's ever easy
My head held high, a clear blue sky
Not a question on my mind
So, just hold my hand for a little bit longer
Any obstacle we can conquer

Feeling so reckless

And I would do anything for you
And I would take a bullet to be true
It's butterflies you give to me
I'm soaring on these broken wings
And I could do anything

Feeling so reckless

Reckless

It's funny how you find those words to say
It's funny how those things just fall away
It's funny how you do those things you do
It's funny how I'm so in love with you, yeah

It's crazy how you just see right through me
It's crazy how this love came to be
Wrapped in-between the haywire
You can't get me any higher

And I will be the only one, that's right
I'll catch your stars for your galaxy
I'll be the wind in the sails you'll see
When falling down feels so right
Just hoping that you can stop the time
Just hoping that you can stop the time, yeah

I love it how you always speak your mind
I love it how you turn my wrongs to right
I love it how you always find a way
To steal the words that I was gonna say

I wanna be the only one who holds you while you're sleeping in
I wanna be the only one who steals your heart and keeps it
We can do all these things with endless possibilities

I'll catch your stars for your galaxy
Be the wind in the sails you'll see
When falling down feels so right, you'll know that

I will be the only one, that's right
I'll catch your stars for your galaxy
I'll be the wind in the sails you'll see
When falling down feels so right
Just hoping that you can stop the time
Just hoping that you can stop the time, yeah





The Only One

Deep End

written by Brandon Millikin and Brady Kerr © 2013

Are we all used up?
Did you catch your last breath?
We had a good run
Do we have nothing left?

And I'm so sorry
My weather patterns have seemed to change
And I'm so sorry
I can't be the eye of your hurricane

And we can't give up
Even if we are coming apart at the seams
And if we go down
I'll be right there with you unravelling

Was this all useless?
When did this stop making sense?
Cuz my heart can't take this
At least you got some use out of it
And my body's weightless
Holding on my the grip of my thumb
And if the pressure breaks us
Maybe it's time we come undone

Is our time used up?
Have we struck out for the last time?
And it's so hard to let go
When memories of you replay in my mind

And don't be sorry
I'm not everything that you need
And don't be sorry
I tried to give you the best of me

Was this all useless?
When did this stop making sense?
Cuz my heart can't take this
At least you got some use out of it
And my body's weightless
Holding on my the grip of my thumb
And if the pressure breaks us
Maybe it's time we come undone

And when will you say you've had too much?
When will you say that enough is enough?
Cuz I've wagered my last bet on you
Did you know that this world spins for two?
Not just you, not just you

Was this all useless?
When did this stop making sense?
