Here To Stay

The Kings of The New Age
The wrong time the right place
New blood in London
Friends were fallin’
Let’s be honest
We talked shit and meant it
When no one expected
Knew from the moment
Wouldn’t be the same
Right then we were right there
The bright lights in the night air
We got there through the nightmare
On our own, it’s safe to say we’re here to stay
Yeah, everything was fine then
When we were walking blinded
Built up to burn out for the turnout, ‘cause
No one ever told me it would be like that
Just another pebble in the hourglass
Pause the time, for piece of mind
And hope this wouldn’t stay the same
Right then we were right there
The bright lights in the night air
Got there through the nightmare
On our own it’s safe to say we’re here to stay
Right then we were right there
Nowhere on an old prayer
Got there through the nightmare
On our own it’s safe to say we’re here to stay
And it’s so comforting
When it leaves you wondering
Will you keep me company?
‘Cause no matter how far it goes
The world will know
That we’ll keep singing like always
Right then we were right there
The bright lights in the night air
Got there through the nightmare
On our own it’s safe to say we’re here to stay
Right then we were right there
Nowhere on an old prayer
Got there through the nightmare
On our own it’s safe to say we’re here to stay

Eventually
03:37
|
|||
I wanted to leave
But it’s difficult with hands around my neck
It’s harder to sleep
When you always keep me up inside my head
I want to believe
That everything will work out for the best
But honestly
Wishful thinking, what the fuck did I expect?
Well the nights grow longer as the days roll by
But I can’t keep hiding me behind these eyes
Started running from what made me paranoid
Eventually, it caught up to me
Maybe I’m the one I can’t seem to avoid
Suddenly I’m taking back the one thing that felt permanent
And all those things I never said
A call to arms that I resent
Eventually it caught up to me
I’m starting to see
No, I haven’t come to terms with myself yet
I’m grinding my teeth
While I’m dealing with the fear that I protect
Well the nights grow longer as the days roll by
Been hanging by a moment now, I think that it’s time
Started running from what made me paranoid
Eventually, it caught up to me
Maybe I’m the one I can’t seem to avoid
Suddenly I’m taking back the one thing that felt permanent
And all those things I never said
A call to arms that I resent
Eventually it caught up to me
I can’t imitate at any cost
But I can ride it ’til the wheels fall off
Wanna breakaway from me, let’s get lost
So lost

Enough is enough
What the fuck was I thinking
‘Cause being with you is like
Working on the weekend
So turn the music up louder
Tell everybody come through
‘Cause I’m having a party
Inviting everybody but you
Keep trying but nothing’s good enough
I guess we’re out of touch
Well you’re one sided
Yeah, that’s good to know
Wish I knew three years ago
Break my back
When you asked
I’m still last in line
Screaming match
Every night
Every night
Enough is enough
What the fuck was I thinking
‘Cause being with you is like
Working on the weekend
So turn the music up louder
Tell everybody come through
‘Cause I’m having a party
Inviting everybody but you
Frustrated
Then you said “let’s take a walk”
“Can we go somewhere to talk?”
Now I’ve translated
The shit that comes out your mouth
Now I know without a doubt
I’m so sick of this
Enough is enough
What the fuck was I thinking
Cuz being with you’s like
Working on the weekend
So we’ll turn the music up louder
Tell everybody come through
Cuz I’m having a party
Inviting everybody but you
When midnight comes it goes on and on
And the past falls back in my head cuz I’m
Dizzy having visions of you screaming at me
But guess what I don’t gotta listen now
And baby I know you’ll be missing out
So go tell all your friends how much you hate me, and leave me be
Everybody but you
Chillin at the get together
Said it wouldn’t last forever
Oh whatever
Here’s the best bad news
Kelly said she didn’t even really like you
Midnight rolls on
I’m gettin’ kinda dizzy and I think I seen a vision of you screaming at me
Can’t shake you off
Girl you really got to me
At the party singing part of me
Break my back
When you asked
I’m still last in line
Screaming match
Every night
Every night

Outta My Head
02:56
|
|||
I can’t get you
Out of my head, out of my head
Spinning around the edge
Play it again, play it again
Yeah but I’m down with it
Always hear you in the background laughing
You know I hate it when you’re not around
Got me tripping on an everlasting sound
Swore I saw you make a right down Hudson
Even though I know you’re out of town
Disappeared into the thin air
But you knocked me to the ground
I can’t get you
Out of my head, out of my head
Spinning around the edge
Play it again, play it again
Yeah but I’m down with it
Feels like I’ve known you for a lifetime
a never ending curiosity
A page I’ve read a million times before it frays
Well if
Happiness is one moment
it can change it all before you show it
Then before you know
We’re back down the road
That drives me up the wall
I can’t get you
Out of my head, out of my head
Spinning around the edge
Play it again, play it again
Yeah but I’m down with it

Fake It
03:02
|
|||
Summer couldn’t move quick enough
Not the kind of chillin I was thinking of
Getting used to a space in love
And you noticed, it feels hopeless we’re
Playing fiction in a parking lot
Anything to be more than an afterthought
Crack a smile, say thanks a lot
We’re still hopeless, but were noticing
If all that we’ve known is the chase all along
Then why’re we hung up here between right and wrong?
Saying oh, we made it
Nobody knows we’re empty, so we fake it
Right through to that Monday smile
We’re still reminded
can’t be divided
That’s when you know
We made it
Just keep me saying alright
I’m missing what was in front of me
Want the point to come across subtly
Never what it was supposed to be
And you noticed, it feels hopeless
We’re waiting on a way to get through the night
Just know I always saw you in a golden light
Never caring what’s wrong or right
If I’m being honest
Saying oh, we made it
Nobody knows we’re empty, so we fake it
Right through to that Monday smile
We’re still reminded
can’t be divided
That’s when you know
We made it
Just keep me saying alright
If all that we’ve known is between right and wrong
I’ll be there in the space where I’ve been all along
We’re more than the words that we say in the end
We bend and we break so there’s something to mend
Saying oh, we made it
Nobody knows we’re empty, so we fake it
Oh, we made it
Nobody knows we’re empty, so we fake it
Right through to that Monday smile
We’re still reminded
can’t be divided
That’s when you know
We made it
Just keep me saying alright

Half Empty
03:31
|
|||
Is there something wrong with me?
Is there a key to the door?
And is there puzzle piece
That I must’ve ignored?
‘Cause I’ve lied around the world enough
And I’ve tried to be who I was before
So I’m done digging it up when I find
time after time
I’m the glass half empty of every drink
You’re the other half of me
Yeah I tried to get away
You were the one after all
Like when you said to me
Im here to tear down the walls
Yeah you’ve been patient
You keep saving me
You never batted an eye
Well, maybe the key is
You were the pieces
Time after time after time after time
I’m the glass half empty of every drink
You’re the other half of me
It’s harder to stand
With my head in the sand
You’re pulling me up so I can see
That oh, you’re the other half of me
Sitting in a dark room
Feeling like I’m see through
Every time I see that you called
Wishing you were here now
Maybe I can heal now
Lately I feel nothing at all
But when it’s you and it’s me
You’re the lock, I’m the key
And though I know you’ll never stay
Still I end up in your bedroom
When everything goes back to
The way you made me feel that day
I’m the glass half empty of every drink
You’re the other half of me
It’s harder to stand
With my head in the sand
You’re pulling me up so I can see
That oh, you’re the other half of me

Just Sound
03:22
|
|||
It’s been some time since things felt right, I know that I missed the call last night, but you know that’s the way it goes
I miss your smile, your laugh, your voice, I’d be with you if I had the choice, but we don’t have to be alone
It’s all we know
Ride tonight with just sound
Up too high to come down
With your face reflected
We’ll stay connected
Til it all comes back around
I set the scene, you set the pace.
No matter the time, the vibe or place, there’s no rules when we’ve got love.
I feel the distance with no touch, it don’t mean shit when you mean so much.
You’re not here but it’s enough.
Without your touch
You’re still enough
Ride tonight with just sound
Up too high to come down
With your face reflected
We’ll stay connected
Til it all comes back around
I’ve been waiting for a moment to feel this way,
And every moment looking forward is worth the wait
Without your touch
You’re still enough
Ride tonight with just sound
Up too high to come down
With your face reflected
We’ll stay connected
Til it all comes back around

Act Like That
03:03
|
|||
Seems fine, feels right
We caught feelings on a lonesome drive
Sometimes, we find
That all I need is on the passenger side
And it’s you
Who made me believe
Maybe marking up a calendar’s an old school thing
Seems fine, feels right
That kinda feeling that you want your whole life
Wanna be crazy we can act like that
Or just be lazy, babe, it’s not so bad
Yeah, we can paint the town
Say what you think and
We can act like that
We can act like that
Low light, no risk
I can feel it in my fingertips
Green eyes closed lips
You know we can’t help but notice that we’re
Falling in love
We couldn’t have planned it
You caught me like a thief in the act red handed
Seems fine, feels right
That kinda feeling that you want your whole life
Wanna be crazy we can act like that
Or just be lazy, babe, it’s not so bad
Yeah, we can paint the town
Say what you think and
We can act like that
We can act like that
Forget the rest
Stick with me instead
There’s nothing like the feeling of me and you
Yeah, we can paint the town
Say what you think and
We can act like that
We can act like that
I wanna know where you stand
What makes me a man
I said you’re keeping me sober
You know I lied to you over and over again
So where have you been?
I’m thinking that you can save me
But still you’re telling me maybe
It’s making me crazy
Wanna be crazy we can act like that
Or just be lazy, babe, it’s not so bad
Yeah, we can paint the town
Say what you think and
We can act like that
We can act like that
Forget the rest
Stick with me instead
There’s nothing like the feeling of me and you
Yeah, we can paint the town
Say what you think and
We can act like that
We can act like that

Where Were You
02:47
|
|||
I see the lack of care in your eyes
I feel the rain when you sing
So I’ll apologize a third time
When I didn’t do anything
Something about you was electric
But now you’re pulling the plug
Talk is cheap but you’re expensive
I think we’ve had enough
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Was I a fool for ever thinking I could get you to stay?
Been thinking we were all that
Still on the fast track
Guess I’m the one who’s caught up
by getting carried away
I gave you my heart as a keepsake
But it wasn’t worth a damn
You’re one to talk when you were two faced
And I gave them both a chance
I’ll be the one who’s lifting me up
I think we’ve had enough
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Was I a fool for ever thinking I could get you to stay?
Been thinking we were all that
Still on the fast track
Guess I’m the one who’s caught up
by getting carried away
I’ll be the one who’s lifting me up
Took far too long for me to see
If only I knew what we would become
I’d know to leave

Sundress
03:11
|
|||
Well I guess
You faded from fondness
Like your favorite sundress
That you haven’t worn in while
So I said
Let’s chase after moments
The smell of the ocean
And our clothes in a pile
If the sun is out
Why’s it raining down?
It’s like every days the same
We just sit around
And forget about
All the plans we made
I just want to wake up
To you in blue and yellow
From the waist up
How could I forget
Your silhouette, hits
Barely above the knee
There’s always gonna be
That one forever thing
Attached to you and me
Did you stray
Am I too little too late
Forever’s not always
In one blink of an eye
Would you stay
So much here left to say
Is it me or you who changed?
And do you wonder why?
If the sun is out
Why’s it raining down?
It’s like every days the same
We just sit around
And forget about
All the plans we made
So let’s talk in bed ‘til 4am
Awake and so alive
Like wet cement
Press the sentiment permanently
So let’s write a new page
Ignite the new age tonight, yeah
I just want to wake up
To you in blue and yellow
From the waist up
How could I forget
Your silhouette, hits
Barely above the knee
There’s always gonna be
That one forever thing
Attached to you and me

Some Minds Don’t Change
02:46
|
|||
Waking up to all of this
You called and said you’re over it
But how am I believing it?
I heard my name
You screamed that shit
Why am I the way I am?
I’m constantly the radiance
I’m dealing with the consequence
I want it all or none of it
All of it
All of it
I watched you fall away
Evade accountability
Given you all that you wanted and more
Now it’s all too late
We were on to something great
But you had no patience to see what’s in store
Some minds don’t change
I’ve got a lot to figure out
If you never come around
I know that you have had your doubts
Here’s some more to talk about
Built it from the thinnest air
But how could you just leave it there?
An unrealistic love affair
You thought I’d always follow you
Anywhere
Everywhere
I watched you fall away
Evade accountability
Given you all that you wanted and more
Now it’s all too late
We were on to something great
But you had no patience to see what’s in store
And if I can’t change you still
I don’t think anyone else will
Cause now it’s all too late
We were on to something great
And you had no patience to see what’s in store
I watched you fall away
Evade accountability
Given you all that you wanted and more
Now it’s all too late
We were on to something great
But you had no patience to see what’s in store
And if I can’t change you still
I don’t think anyone else will
Cause now it’s all too late
We were on to something great
And you had no patience to see what’s in store
Some minds don’t change
