Everything 03:21
The sun is fading too fast for me to catch up this world is spinning too quick to ever have time enough you are the person I hope to become it's time you start to realize all that you are you are everything and you act like you're nothing you are my whole world you should start acting like it you're everything and you act like you're nothing you're everything and you act like you're nothing you can't count out the cliches after all, they're true but the way you live your life it's original after all those conversations you've had with me it's driving me crazy how you can't see you are everything and you act like you're nothing you are my whole world you should start acting like it you're everything and you act like you're nothing you're everything and you act like you're nothing

Dear Sister 02:47
Dear sister, I know it's hard to ever feel okay. I know somedays it feels like there will never be a happy end, but you should know you've got a friend. Dear sister, I know that you will probably hate this song and even though it'll take so many days before you sing the words, I've known that you have loved me all along. Dear sister, I know that mom and dad don't understand. They've both had hell to deal with, but you know what it's okay. We've come to better days. Sometimes it's better broken anyways. Dear sister, I wish that you could learn from my mistakes. I wish I could just write em down and save you so much time, but I think that you'll find some lessons you can only teach yourself. Dear Natalie, I don't think that you know how much you're loved. It's not just me, it's everyone you come across. It's not your fault. They did this to us don't you see how beautiful things really are? Don't you see that you can love everyone?

Heaven Sent 04:37
I picture you now standing there, proud of me for all the things I've done I know that you're watching, but I'm just here waiting for a sign of your life your life was taken, without my consent your life was taken, without my consent it was heaven sent it was heaven sent only times I see you is through some glass and other times, i'm staring at the grass looking at your stone I feel so alone without you, I'm so lost your life was taken, without my consent your life was taken, without my consent it was heaven sent it was heaven sent just have one question for some God above: why would you take the only person I've ever loved? you can't do that, I never got to okay that decision i feel like you've incisioned me your life was taken, without my consent your life was taken, without my consent it was heaven sent why was it heaven sent?

PBR 05:00
You are all I ever want nothing compares to what we've got what you've done hasn't changed a thing I still want you to want me Sometimes I sneak into the bar I never order any drinks, don't wanna go too far and I wish you could sneak in with me but that makes no sense cause you're 23 Did you ever love me like I love you you know I think that there are very few people who have ever felt that way do you realize what you've done Are we just never gonna talk again forget the lover, I miss my friend it's hard to tell what's right from wrong i miss when it was simple Did you know I loved you then stupid boy I love you always and now you're gone, but you're everywhere, you're everything darling it's so unfair that you never think of me Float along drift away never be real I'll be a distant memory how does it feel how does it feel knowing you ruined, ruined ruined, ruined ruined, ruined the only real thing you ever knew

Big Sky 03:31
Bought a ticket to a new town it's a one way gotta see my life go somewhere more than someday Ditched my luggage filled with steady flakes and possibilities packed a bag filled up with dice hope I roll Yahtzee I'll miss this big sky away from the people and the stars so bright fall out of this darkness in the sweet sunshine i'll miss this big sky In five, ten years from now i'd like to see me living out my dreams it might sound arrogant, but normal life is simply not for me I find that people think I'm crazy when I say I'm gonna make it it's like they're scared of happiness They need a big sky a place to feel lonely and whole at the same time fall out of the darkness in the sweet sunshine take a look at the big sky (whistles) Look up at the big sky away from the people and the stars so bright fall out of your darkness in the sweet sunshine Take a look at the big sky Take a look at the big sky I'll be up in the big sky.
