i never got to know
all that i wanted to know
everything
i never got the chance to know
far-fetched, fleeting hopes
like dandelion seeds, blow
then fall apart, with all my heart
wishing from the window
that they stick around, find fertile ground
grow instead of go
but no
i’ll watch another maybe take flight
disappear without a single reason why
and i won’t ask what i don’t want to know
i was me, though
that’s why i don’t want to know
though, it’ll eat me alive
there was such a bright light
and now there’s barely a glow!
what did i do to dim this so?
i was me, i think i see
so now i don’t want to know
just know, just know
just know that i had hope
but no
i’ll watch another maybe take flight
disappear without a single reason why
and i won’t ask what i don’t want to know
things are different now, different
predictability came and mystery went
were you so wise to ignore what you’d been told?
you are waking up from the dream that you were sold
c
isn’t that what you wanted when you wanted more
when you wanted more
isn’t that what you wanted when you wanted more
when you wanted more
looking back as you pick clothes up off the floor
all the doors, they just don’t open anymore
and his trips to those lovely destinations
business in quite another connotation
isn’t that what you wanted when you wanted more
when you wanted more
isn’t that what you wanted when you wanted more
when you wanted more
oh, the excitement, oh, the allure
oh, the notoriety, they’re so much more
oh, the resentment, disappointment when it sets
all this, the what ifs and the regrets
isn’t that what you wanted
isn’t that what you wanted
c
you’re so white, and i think that i’m alright
if alright means that i think i just saw heaven
hold tight, i might twirl you for awhile, never wanna lose that smile
because i know forever’s where we’re heading
Chorus:
so, lose yourself in me
and we’ll both spin eternally
i lost myself in you
there’s nothing, there’s nothing else i’d rather do
we chose this song, it plays and nothing can go wrong
if i could freeze a moment, it would be right now
a slow dance as the clock stops keeping time and no one moves but you and i
we’re all alone as if there’s no one around
chorus
two ends tie a knot to make a new beginning
love is like a carousel, keep me spinning
chorus
small towns are made for leaving
but when your air is gone, how do you keep on breathing? i don’t know
i never took my chances, i gave no words, just glances
i stood at jfk and listened to the sounds
i watched the sky the very minute
a plane took off for london with you in it
i watched it disappear into the night without a fight
i waved goodbye from the ground
Chorus:
a million roads that i could stroll down
but i can’t see you at all
i wish i had you here to hold, now
but this small world ain’t that small
i take a walk down lonely main street
and everyone’s asleep except me
the streetlights like a runway, and life’s the plane, am i insane?
cause i’ve never landed one of these
there was so much that i could’ve done
middle of a crowd, i see you in everyone
and now there’s half a world between us now, i need us, now
but you’re so far, but you’re so far
chorus
another day, a girl needs saved
that girl is you, i can hear your cries
you’re tied to the tracks, i’m turning my back
so i don’t see that train and you collide
and you know i tried
but it wasn’t good enough
so i’ve decided to give it up
Chorus:
you’re ungrateful, blind as can be
you’re too caught up in you to see what’s in front of you
you’re so hateful toward all my kind
want nothing to do with me until you scream for help
well this time, save yourself
you dry your eyes, you pass the time
searching your mind for the solution
it’s obvious, so you pass it up, nowhere to go, keep the status quo
salt in your wounds, tears in your room, and you know why
and you know i tried
but it wasn’t good enough
so i’ve decided to give it up
chorus
and i see you, there, you’re in the air
you’re flying high, you own the sky
or do you? well, you’d like to
but your airplane’s covered in flames
and you’re falling, you’re falling
so fast, so far, you’ll crash so hard
unless you bail before it happens
but you’ll probably stay fastened
and i tried, and i tried
and i tried, and i tried
love one
i know how much you wanted to be a wife
i really hope you’re happy with that life
if not, you deserve it
i spent
months trying to determine how we crashed
out of every heartbreak, yours is gonna last
but it was worth it
Chorus:
i’ll never know where we went wrong
if it was you, or maybe it was me
we couldn’t stay afloat
on stormy seas when everything just seemed
to wanna fall apart, as everything does
with love
love two
i apologize for the speed at which we moved
at a slower pace, maybe we see it through
you’ll always be Joon
love three
you wanted something different, unfortunately
you chose a terrible alternative to me
hope you’re sorry
chorus
love four
i know that we’ve been down this road before
i turned off the lights but i never closed the door
so maybe there’s more
chorus
this time, i can’t wait
i can’t let another butterfly escape
from this cacoon, this beautiful June
to bless me only to leave too soon
what i’m trying to say is this
you stay and i’ll have nothing more to miss
yes, it’s true that i would do
anything if we could see this through
if i can just have you, now
Chorus:
i will take you down
make you feel what i feel in my heart
oh, you control me and it’s time you know me
every last part
so, take two steps to here
maybe the situation seems more clear
dear, i’ve been waiting for you, you’re the sun to my moon
the world lights up when you walk in the room
if i could just have you, now
chorus
come close and you’ll see
this heart pounds, it will not sleep
when you’re near, it wants nothing more
than to break free, cause it’s not mine, it’s yours
chorus
i’ll stop to breathe
and then get back to finding what defines me
indecisive and afraid to take a chance
but that’s not news to you, you knew it first hand
you tried your best
and i tried to deny the pounding in my chest
i had my defenses, i fought and won the war
and lost the best thing i could’ve ever asked for
so i’ll write this for you and say nothing more
Chorus:
-
here’s my apology, i’m so sorry
for the secret i kept and all the nothing i said
you’ll finally hear it, dear, a little late, but sincere
i’ve loved you all along, and now your love is all gone
i blew our chance to be
i’m sorry
-
i built a time machine
took me a minute into the future, that’s the last thing i need
i wish that i could go back to five years ago
and say the things i couldn’t say and never let you go
but we both know that i can’t do that, so
chorus
i walked seventeen blocks down the street
to fix a mistake
it’s long, so i wrote it down onto this sheet
i’ll wait
chorus
i’m sorry
From a third story window
I watch it rain onto B street
Forty nights to the hour
You needed to breathe
Blew my rent on some cigarettes
My nerves needed calming
Threw my clothes in the washer
I’m going out clean
Chorus:
From a third story window
Watching the sun die
Thick crowds, dark clouds
Eventual goodbyes
Turn the news on for a look
Panic growing in the city
And the traffic goes for miles
Like there’s any saving
Take a shot of the whiskey
That I hide in the bottom drawer
Break a promise to everyone
Why keep it quiet anymore?
chorus
Thick crowds, dark clouds
Sorry that I’m thinking out loud
Never thought I’d last such a short time
That I’d live to see such a sure sign
That the world, the world is ending
No desire to keep pretending
More lost than I’ll ever know
In my own place, standing at the third story window
chorus
hey
don’t you get carried away
it’s not what i wanna say
but it’s what you need to hear
i pray
that you won’t be bitter, please
feel no animosity
when it’s made clear
you and me, it can’t be done
my heart’s not with it, so don’t settle
the locks are cut
so go find love
hey
i know, i know this pain
it kills me to have to say
words that enable tears
today
the sun will set, you see
tomorrow, watch the east
you’ll rise again, dear
you and me, it can’t be done
my heart’s not with it, so don’t settle
the locks are cut
so go find love
seek it out, search the world
billions of oysters, you will find your pearl
cross the land, cross the sea and there he’ll be
but it’s not me, it can’t be
you and me, it can’t be done
my heart’s not with it, so don’t settle
