Lights hung from the ceiling illuminate a palette of colors on your face
I didn't know you before my eager feet walked through the door,
but now my mind is telling me that its at peace
The music coming from the speakers is telling us to live a life at someone else's pace
and the bunker we are in is just a cage for all our sins
carried out beyond the eyes of police
But this isn't fate, and its not a choice, but its not a lie
One mistake set on, set on, set on repeat
two misused expressions for every new person I meet
three opportunities I seem to have missed
and anything else that I can add to this list of things I cannot change
The past few weeks, I've been thinking that waiting for a fantasy is waiting in vain
and that a winter without snow makes for darker nights, you know,
so I'm struggling to move towards the light
The rush to meet my expectations has built up an exponential gridlock in my brain
But what's the use in shame, she doesn't even know my name
another day becomes a disappointing night
But it's not my fate to waste my time, to become a slave
To one mistake set on, set on, set on repeat
to two misused expressions for every new person I meet
to three opportunities I seem to have missed
and anything else that I can add to this list of things I cannot change
One mistake set on, set on, set on repeat
two misused expressions for every new person I meet
three opportunities I seem to have missed
and anything else that I can add to this list of things I cannot change
Can't change

You can't tell me what you want
So just tell me what you need
I've been waiting for so long
You're just looking for the right
You're just looking the right
Don't you gimmie those
don't you shoot those angel eyes
When you're just looking for a ride
You're just looking for a ride
But you can't find it in a
No, you won't find it in a smile
Let me off this stupid ride
I want off this stupid ride
Was I dreaming when you said
You would rather die than leave me stranded?
Cause you've gone back on your word
I deserve so much better
I deserve so much more
You don't deserve me
Well, I'm still at your door.
I'll wait for you
You know I'll wait for you
Why am I waiting for you?
I'll wait for you.

What a strange place to be,
Nineteen years of falling on and off uncertainty,
And what strange place to live,
And I try I try I try my best to give,
I raise my voice I have a choice to take this photograph,
Be still the present, past and future moments never last,
Better times in black and white although they look so sad,
And I try I try I try my best to give,
Yeah I try I try I try my best to live,
Things don't seem the way they should,
Please believe me (please believe me),
Please believe me that they could ,
Well I don't feel the way I know I think a person should,
And I know I could, yes I know i could,
I'm wanting more what I don't need and still it makes me laugh,
I wait in line just to receive but they don't let me have,
The bread and wine we run and hide from things that make us sad,
And I try I try I try my best to give,
Yeah I try I try I try my best to live,
A lonely road I walk alone the one you'll never find,
An empty road I find a phone you try to drop a line,
The only one that never fails me when I want to find,
And I try I try I try my best to give,
Yeah I try I try I try my best to live,
And I try I try I try my best to live,
Yeah I try I try I try my best to live.

You lay your head down
Dream of all you want
And close you eyes
It’ll be alright
Momma told you
Stories in the night
Legends of the old
Oh will I ever know
One day, you wake and rise up
Cast all your dreams aside
Down the wishing well
Far away you ran
Away from your home
Down the hills and through the fields
Now you’re all grown
The scars on your hands
The dirt in your eyes
The stories momma told
Still were inside
One day, you wake and rise up
Cast all your dreams aside
In your dreams you see your home
A thousand miles all alone
You ran away from it all
I hope you know
Down the wishing well

I know I speak for everyone when I say,
Can you be more obvious today?
I just wanna know what is going on...
I'm not the kind of girl who plays around first,
But over-analyzing makes me burst
I just wanna know what is going on...
So take a chance, make a stance,
Before the dawn of a new day...
Cause I feel it!
Just tell me what this is, and are you feeling it too?
Cause I'm not up for anymore games
Show me what you'd do if you weren't scared to make your move
Cause I can tell that you feel the same
Don't keep me waiting, don't keep me praying
Or I, I... I will be gone, Cause I'll move on
Of me it seems you have a misconception,
Cause I am not about deception
I'm being just as clear as I can be...
Can you not read this subtle invitation?
Hurry up, cause I'm running out of patience!
I'm being just as clear as I can be...
So take a chance, make a stance,
Before the dawn of a new day...
Cause I feel it!
Pull yourself together, you ain't gonna remember
What it was like to be the way you are today
Pull yourself together, you ain't gonna remember
Anything after you find the guts to say it to me... to me....
Cause I feel it!
Cause I'll move on

Today was meant to be a fair event,
But you just can't seem see other people
We just want some sanity
But you are so ignorant
I! (I!)
Know! (Know!)
You never meant any harm but
You just had to and ruin the whole damn thing now
We! (Are!)
Our! (Own!)
Trying to live our lives yeah,
But you just can't seem to get over yourself now
It's hard to believe you can't see the problem
When you are so alone against the crowd
I think you should call it a day
But you're just out of control

Sure she's got a charm about her
When she smiles her eyes light up the room
But does that mean the rest of us are left standing in the dark?
With a face of obvious beauty
Everything the way they say it should be
But who has the right to say the beauty's her and not me?
Levana, la la, Levana
Maybe you can give some magic to me
Cuz its hard to share the air you also breathe
I don't know if I could say a word to her
I try to forgive but my heart says no
If not for her I never would have had to let him go
What sets her apart from the rest of us?
When she's around there's only second best
And when she's done here there won't be anyone else thats left
