Wheels 04:07
The wheels keep a turnin' Yeah the wheels keep a turnin' round So pick your head up darling Quit staring at the ground Your fingertips they graze my lips And oh my god I'm turning on And I don't care if I don't know Just exactly where we're going Or where we're not Ok fine, I like you So go ahead, make your move Just try me, cause I'm ready Yeah I'm ready for you Ooh, yeah I'm ready for you Well I know no one I work all day But somehow think I'm moving forward And honestly I can say you're the only thing I'm looking toward Your pretty face it kills me When you wink that way I feel it deep down But the wheels keep a turnin' Yeah the wheels keep a turnin' round Ok fine, I like you So go ahead, make your move Just try me, and I'll be ready Ready when ya do Ooh, yeah I'm ready for you But let's be reckless, let's try something new Find what matters, have nothing to prove Take all we want just to throw it away And make a statement with nothing to say Well I'll be that someone you can tame You name it baby it's yours I don't care who you were yesterday I'll love you every way of course I realize how I've got it, Yes I realize now I've got it bad But the wheels they're a turnin' And they're turnin' pretty fast And ok fine, I like you So go ahead, make your move Just try me, cause I'm ready Said I'm ready for you Ooh, yeah I'm ready for you

I go to bed knowing that I'll hate tomorrow morning again Some lights will be too bright While all the others will turn red And it's all because I don't sleep too much these days My roommates talk too loud When they're all drunk like I am now Sing in whispers to the mirrors But they never clap and shout I'll give ya twenty bucks To stop by the liquor store On your way home I ignore the phone when my mom calls And I know that makes me an asshole But it's hard to talk when ya gotta hang up Hell it's hard to talk at all And if I complain about being far away Well I'm a fuckin hypocrite Pretty please give me your number See you've kept me from my slumber And when you walked by dressed to the nines You stuck and then I wondered Do ya think you could Be into good for a change Because I think you might Already kinda like me

The sun is coming up But I'm still awake from yesterday Ooh and I, I felt alive Up on that roof, up there with you Just chasing a feeling Hearing my heart And the one thing I know now Is I like who you are Some days I'm up And some days I'm down Some days I don't know If I can turn it around Unplugged the alarm And turned off my phone So if you find me here You'll find me alone And I know we're all trying Just trying our best But I'm sick of surviving Along with the rest Ooh and why, why are they so mad Haven't they been young Haven't they been in love So don't tell me to come down Let me be in the now Cause I don't need to sleep To see all my dreams And you're just like them man You're chained to a desk Can't ya see you're surviving Along with the rest Well I like you baby And I like how you smell And I like how you take me Out of the well So if you find me here You'll find me alone Just pull back the shades And let me go Chasing that feeling Hearing my heart Cause the one thing I know now Is I like who you are

Just Don't 05:49
Well I guess we began when ya left that other man to be alone Met me in a bar flirtin at my birthday party And ooh, I said let me take ya home But you said no no no no no You said no Anniversary date more than fashionably late but it was cute Tell me what's under your makeup Promise never to ever break up with you I love everything we do Drinks with an old friend, I trusted your judgement But you were wrong, yeah you were wrong Two or three or four more and you're slammin the door And ooh, ain't it time I took ya home Oh no no no no no. Oh no. Got too used to the headaches The waking and staying up late's lost its fun And I'm sick of saying sorry babe Sick of wondering where you are baby Ooh if you love 'em let 'em go So don't bother with no apologies, just don't, just don't And don't call me at two in the morning, just don't, just don't And if you think I care if you still care for me Well I don't, no I don't Ya been going for a long time, going going gone Yeah you're gone But if you wanna know how I don't sink Well I hold my breath and I kick my feet Cause not all of us find it easy to float Well now I'm sick of the missing Was the love worth our yelling, maybe so, yeah maybe so And now that some time's passed My bed's at its loneliest Ooh won't you let me take you home Oh no no no no no, oh no But you're too cute to hate darlin I'm too drunk anyway, nothing's new I just can't wait to sleep in, said I can't wait to sleep in With you And I still love everything we do Ooooh

New York 04:42
This sunny day's been patient waiting for the rain to stop And my pillow's thanking God that it can breathe Finally out of bed, finally excited, on the up and up All to take a walk with you down the street So while you're in New York With the lights, dreams, and whores Think of me waiting Yeah think of me waiting Think I wrote this song for you but you'll never prove it But if you ask me later I guess you could make me budge Made a ring for you yesterday out of paper It don't fit the right finger but it's close enough So while I'm in Miami With my ex, the booze, and heat I'll think of you waiting Said I'll think of you waiting Wanna know something about me how bout this one I'm just glad that you're my new friend Said it's three weeks in June that you'll be gone I ain't gonna lie I can't wait for them to end So while you're in Tennessee With the bands and hippies Think of me waiting Yeah think of me waiting So while you're in New York With the lights, dreams, and whores Think of me waiting And I'll think of you waiting I don't know you anymore You're not my friend, you're not my family Uh uh

Stuck at square one and run out of time Growing as slow as that ancient pine We swear to be true and we swear till we die But we hold it together with excuses and lies Thought twice for you cause I knew what I got And I like to fight to be right when I'm not But I gave so I'll take whatever I want And nobody can stop me, no not a one But who, who, who, who will love you when I'm gone Came back for you cause I missed what we had I was tweaking the truth, said the blues weren't too bad But we've all been there, yeah we've all done that I just can't live my life without being where you're at But who, who, who, who will love you when you're sad All this traveling's taught me more than I thought Ain't it always the way, I dunno how I forgot And the best thing you leant me was nothin you bought I loved you long before that arrow was shot But who, who, who, who Yeah who, who, who, who will love you when I cannot
