Kensington

A Moment

It was the summer you were mine
We drove up the coast
Swear I felt it then
Felt it then

We danced the night
Danced the night away
In the foggy haze
We could be dead
Is what they said

Trouble on the run

You know you're still the one
That I want, that I want
That I want

It was more than a moment
It was the rest of our lives
It plays over in my mind
Over in my mind
Over and over again
It was more than a moment
It was that look in your eyes
It plays over in my mind
Over in my mind
Over and over again

I swear I'd go back to the end
To the end
Let's show 'em how it's done

You know you're still the one
Still the one
That I want, that I want
That I want

It was more than a moment
It was the rest of our lives
It plays over in my mind
Over in my mind
Over and over again
It was more than a moment
It was that look in your eyes
It plays over in my mind
Over in my mind
Over and over again

We lived it right
The summer time
I'm giving in
It's in your eyes
The feeling's right
I can't let go
And now I'm sick
And now I know
The quiet nights
I'm biting down
You can not hide
What I found
You pulled me in
I held you close
I promised not
To let you go
We fought all night
We fought all night
I'm holding on
To what's inside
The windows down
Just hold tight
We drove all night
We drove all night

It was more than a moment
It was the rest of our lives
It plays over in my mind
Over in my mind
Over and over again
It was more than a moment
It was that look in your eyes
It plays over in my mind
Over in my mind
Over and over again

It was more than a moment
It plays over in my mind
Over and over again
It was more than a moment
It plays over in my mind
Over and over again
It was more than a moment
It was more than a moment
It plays over in my mind
Over and over again

Sober

Say, is it any wonder
That I am this close of
Running on empty?

Today, spare me all the talk
Can we just cut to any good ending?

And the mess we made was starting to get covered
Oh, life can be so tiring when you're sober

You wanted me to
Stop drowning out the voices
Of the people I feared
Start holding on to something
But I seek for destruction
And I hold on just for a little while

Take, I can't take it anymore
There's a door but somehow I can't go through it

Afraid, will this ever come undone
I don't know if my body could do it

And the mess we made was starting to get covered
Oh life can be so tiring when you're sober

You wanted me to
Stop drowning out the voices
Of the people I fear
Start holding on to something
But I seek for destruction
And I hold on just for a little while

You wanted me to
Stop chasing down the pieces
Of the puzzle up here
Start holding on to something
But I seek for destruction
And I hold on just for a little while

What if I'm falling and I'm spinning out
What if I fought it for a little while

So what if I'm falling and I'm spinning out
So what if I fought it for a little while

Call You Home

Is there anybody out there
Cause lately I feel by myself
Tell me there's somebody else, yeah

Is there anybody out there
Cause I can not do this alone
I wish there was somebody home, yeah

Oh, the way that you move
Is something wrong
Just tell me now
Just tell me oh

Do you want me or not
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you home

And I can't believe it
I just want you to myself
I can't see you with no one else, yeah

Oh, the way that you move
Is something wrong
Just tell me now
Just tell me oh

Do you want me or not
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you home
Do you want me or not
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you home

Do you want me or not
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you
Home

Called you home
Called you home
Called you home
In the darkest of nights I've called you home
Do you want me or not
Just let me go
In the darkest of nights I've called you home

Stay

Stay

Give me your love
That's what I want
Scream it out loud
Don't let the silence take it away
You're the best thing that I've got
I'm sure as hell of that
And no one else can take your place

Why do we have to be this way
Why do we have to play these games
Why can't we just be the same
Like we used to

Why can't we just stay
Stay for another day here
I wish you were mine
But I know my love is wasted
Why don't we stay

Stay

Let's leave this town
We'll head for higher
Souls on fire
I'm hoping that we'll make it one more day

Why do we have to be this way
Why do we have to play these games
Why can't we just be the same
Like we used to
Why do we have to be this way
Why do we have to play these games
Why can't we just be the same
Like we used to

Why can't we just stay
Stay for another day here
I wish you were mine
But I know my love is wasted
Why can't we just say
Say what we gotta say here
We're running out of time
And it's hard for me to face it
Face it

Watching as we faded
Watching as we faded

Why can't we just stay
Stay for another day here
I wish you were mine
But I know my love is wasted
Why can't we just say
Say what we gotta say here
We're running out of time
And it's hard for me to face it
Face it

How It Goes

You know I'm not for sentimental feelings
I don't hold on and I don't mind letting go
When you live this long
Life tends to keep you thinking
If it's any good, I'm sure it's about to go

It's just how it goes
How it goes

I swear to God I never thought I'd think it
How we used to drive right down this road
We picked out that old house
We thought we'd live in
The one with the big porch were we'd grow old

It's just how it goes
How it goes
It's just how it goes
Just how it goes

Our faded love

It's just how it goes
Faded love, faded love
Just how it goes
Faded love, faded love
It's just how it goes
Faded love, faded love
It's just how it goes
Faded love, faded love

Lightning

If you ever love somebody
Tell them the first chance you get
Cause you never know when it's over
And you're left with the storms in your head

I just wanna hold us together
Like a shelter
From the storms that roll in
It doesn't matter if I hold tightly
You're like lightning
Running through my arms again

If you really love somebody
Sometimes you got to let go
When you really just wanna hold 'em
But you know that your hearts been outgrown

I can't stay
If you won't wait for
Me
I can't change
If you keep changing on
Me

I just wanna hold us together
Like a shelter
From the storms that roll in
It doesn't matter if I hold tightly
You're like lightning
Running through my arms again

Running through my arms again
Running through my arms again

I really love somebody
I wish I could tell you again
I just wanna hold you forever
Like lightning
I just wanna hold you forever
Like lightning

If you ever love somebody
Tell them the first chance you get

Little By Little

Swallow you so smoothly
Down like medicine
Cut you loose too soon
Inside my head again
I knew you would
Little by little

All your friends you defend
Like they are innocent
Pull the blinds, do a line
Was he worth everything?

I knew you would
Little by little
I knew you would, yeah
Little by little

All the moments that you wasted
Little by little
I'm lighting 'em up, they're not worth saving
Little by little
So when the dust is fallen
Along with everything I was caught in
You'll just blow away
Little by little

No time to rewind
There's nothing left for us
Don't know that I wish it would be different

I knew you would
I knew I would
Little by little

All the moments that you wasted
Little by little
I'm lighting 'em up they're not worth saving
Little by little
So when the dust is fallen
Along with everything I was caught in
You'll just blow away
Little by little

Little by little
Little by little

All the moments that you wasted
Little by little
I'm lighting 'em up, they're not worth saving
Little by little
So when the dust is fallen
Along with everything I was caught in
You'll just blow away
Little by little

Days Are Gone

Bottle of red
Going straight to my head
With a sea of regret
Deep down in my chest
And I miss you again
God I need you again
With me

Three AM
And I text you again
But you leave me on read
Just to see if I care

I remember the way you would talk in your sleep
I remember the way you would hold onto me

But them days are gone
But I'm still holding on
You know I couldn't even look away
I know it wasn't perfect but to me
Now them days are gone

I wish that I could tell you how I feel
And the moment that I knew my love was real

I remember the way that you'd talk in your sleep
I remember the way that you'd hold onto me

But them days are gone
But I'm still holding on
You know I couldn't even look away
I know it wasn't perfect
I know it wasn't perfect
But to me
Now them days are gone

Go and meet somebody
But I can not let it
Go and meet somebody
But I gotta let it
Go and meet somebody
But I can not let her
Go and meet somebody
But I gotta let her
Go and meet somebody
But I can not let it
Go and meet somebody
But I gotta let it
Go and meet somebody
But I can not let her
Go and meet somebody
New

Them days are gone
But I'm still holding on
You know I couldn't even look away
I know it wasn't perfect
I know it wasn't perfect
But to me

Them days are gone
Go and meet somebody
But I can not let it
Go and meet somebody
Them days are gone
Go and meet somebody
But I can not let it
Go and meet somebody
Them days are gone

Failure By Design

Yeah I was all alone
Walking in the streetlight through the rain
Yeah I'll be sleeping on my own

You had a certain tone
A cease and desist
Yeah I remember I missed
To be living on my own

Now tell me what to do
Tell me how to help
How easy is it ever to open up to you?

I was never there
I was never more
I was never more than a victim of
Collateral consequence
To you

Tell me you want me, I want you too
I tell you I want you, I tell you I need you
But I have to

I have to draw the line
I'm all the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out
Out of here

Screaming on the phone
I got to admit that I was longing to live
I might be better off alone
(But I don't know for sure)

You were never there
You were never more
You were never more than a
Gifted deliberate consequence
You lose

I can't deal with this
Proximity

I have to draw the line
I'm all the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out
Out of here

Tell me you want me, tell me you need me
I want you too
I tell you I want you, I tell you I need you
But I have to
Tell me you want me, tell me you need me
I want you too
I'll tell you I want you, I'll tell you I need you but I have to

I have to draw the line
I'm all the way down over here
Just got to hold on
A failure by design
I wanted a way out
Out of here

I Could Be Wrong

I will keep repeating my mistakes
I'm drifting off but I should run away
Everything is bound to tumble down
But I could be wrong

Will there be a way to come to terms?
On the guillotine we're taking turns to wait for
The verdict of an unforgiving judge
But I could be wrong

I could be wrong

It's nothing but unfortunate events
We're circling but we are not making sense at all
The answers they are locked inside a chest
But I could be wrong

I could be wrong
I could be right

I could have been wrong and
I could have been right

The answer's in my head
The answer's in my heart

I could have been wrong
I could have been right

Safe Haven

I remember lying flat on my back
On the stairs of the corridor
I could smell the cigarettes
And the white wine
From right underneath the door

I was listening to my dad who
Played the piano
I was listening to my parents' friends who
Missed all the rhythm
I was at the end of preschool
I was a midnight spy
I stayed up till the sun rose
And always wondering why
They stumbled and fell

I remember the fights
At the end after everybody left
I can vividly recall all the things said
Through the bars of the staircase

I was listening to my mom who
Spoke to my father
Let's just clean things up and leave for bed
Before the boys wake up

After all this time I finally see
The shoreless sea of tranquility
And I'll take it, yeah, I'll take it
The wasted hours awake in bed
A fortress was what we once had
A safe and steady haven

And though I think from time to time
The moments I had lost my mind
I faked it, yeah, I faked it
And every time I come back home
The memories won't me leave me alone
And it's aching, It's like they're right here

I was listening to my dad who
Played the piano
I was listening to my mom who
Spoke to my father
I was listening to my dad who
Played the piano

Spell

I've been
Caught inside your spell
Take me far away
At your will
Fractured, tattered
From distance I fell
I've been caught
In your spell

Hope
Light as a bird
Flying too close
To the sun
Love
Song that it sings
With wax melted wings
To the ground, to the ground

I've been
Lost inside myself
Smiling, lying
That I'm doing well
Haunted
By your
Promises failed
Down here, we hope
That you're doing well

Hope
Light as a bird
Flying too close
To the sun
Love
Song that it sings
With wax melted wings
To the ground, to the ground

Nothing matters to me
Right now
Nothing more matters to me

Take me
Take me
Take me
At your will

Take me
Take me
Take me
At your will

Take me
Take me
Take me
At your will

Take me
Take me
Take me
At your will

Take me
Take me
Take me
At your will

Take me
Take me
Take me
At your will
