Verse 1 I walk these streets Retracing our steps I walk these streets searching for something time’s paved over and now I’m all alone on these roads and this memory won’t let go of me Verse 2 We were two paths crossing in time You’ve travelled farfar While I was falling behind Your steps are fading with time This memory oh it won’t let go of me Oh this memory won’t let go of me And I’m still missing you I’ll be missing you Oh this memory won’t let go of me Verse 3 I was out searching for this part of me That you left behind And now that it’s gone And now that you’re gone This memory It won’t let go of me Oh this memory It won’t let go of me And I'm still missing you and I'll be missing you Bridge I'm just a dreamer walking this line between This new future and my lingering grasp on this past That you left in this corner of my heart I'm just a dreamer losing my grip with The fleeting reality that you might No longer need this part of you But you’re still taking this corner of my heart Oh this memory It won’t let go of me Oh this memory It won’t let go of me Let go of Let go of me Oh this memory It won’t let go of me Oh this memory It won’t let go of me And I’m still missing you And I’ll be missing you This memory It won’t let go of me Oh this memory It won’t let go of me And I’m still missing you And I’ll be missing you Oh this memory won’t let go of me

Verse 1 I’ve met people with whom I’ve got this magnetic attraction I’ve met people with whom I know we’ve got our sides flipped No matter how hard we try, we’ll just be hovering in space between And with one misstep and were flying, flying away Chorus And we’ll never be closer than this We’ll never be closer than this And we’re just two sides of the same While we’re hovering in the space between And we’re fading away Fading away, no Verse 2 I’ve been repelled by you, and I’ve got this feeling that we’re just not meant to be. And you didn’t have the strength to tell me goodbye, and you’ve left me here While we’re fading away We’re fading away We’re fading away Chorus And we’ll never be closer than this We’ll never be closer than this We’ll never be closer than this And we’re just two sides of the same While we’re hovering in the space between And we’re fading away Fading away, no Verse 3 I’ve known plenty of people with whom I’ve got this magnetic attraction I should know better by now than to keep fighting for someone who’s just slipping away no matter how hard I try I’ll just be fighting for someone who’s fading away you’re fading away you faded away you faded away

Verse 1 It feels like years since we’ve had anything to say It feels like years since wewalked the same walk, talked the same talk And it feels like, I’m calling out, It feels like, I’m calling out to ghost streets Ghost streets. Verse 2 I’ve started counting the ways we left the ends unsaid I’ve started retelling these stories just to make sense And it feels like, I’m calling out Feel like, I’m calling out to ghost streets Ghost streets. Pre-Bridge And I, and I’ve been hung out to dry And I, and I’ve been pouring out, I’ve been pouring out And all that you left me were all of these And all that you left me were all of these Ghost streets And ghost streets Bridge The city lights, they’re drowning me in all of this beauty The city lights, they’re buzzing around me And all I’m singing out loud, And all of these ghost streets Ghost streets, following me The city lights, they’re buzzing around me And all I’m singing out loud It feels like years since we’ve had anything to say

Crossroads 04:57
Verse 1 I've been lost for a while now I've seen many navigate these waters just fine but I've been hitting shallow ground I've been wading through this muck that's filling my mind and it's time that I'm wasting It's only my own time that I'm wasting Chorus I don't want to make the same mistakes but here I am at these crossroads and I'm following my old steps and I'm standing at these crossroads trying to lose my old ways Verse 2 I think I might have found my way out I've been fearing it's all in my head playing too safe and I'm worried I'll disappoint just the same If only I could live like I do when I'm dreaming and it's time that I'm wasting It's only my own time that I'm wasting Chorus I don't want to make the same mistakes but here I am at these crossroads and I'm following my old steps and I'm standing at these crossroads trying to lose my old ways Bridge and I could be catching myself but I'm breaking I could be catching myself but I'm breaking down I could be catching myself but I'm in over my head with too many ifs filling the inside of my mind and I could be catching myself but I'm breaking I could be catching myself but I'm breaking down I could be catching myself but it's about time that I stop choosing the easy way out and it's about time that I stop choosing this easy way out Chorus x2

Lows 03:59
Verse 1 I've been a stranger to myself hidden in my hesitations I've been drowning in my own without looking beyond this bubble to see that you've been swimming through blues too Chorus and I've been down so long and I've been feeling down so long that I've looked up across this water I haven't even looked to see that you've been smiling through these lows too Verse 2 I've been centered on myself too blind to see all that I am missing I've been telling myself next time I won't be so slow to see that you've been swimming through blues too Chorus Bridge and I've been smiling through and I've been smiling through smiling through these lows too These hopes don't seem so far from here these silver lines seem a little less hidden away and I'm walking towards this edge but I'm steering away I'm no longer letting myself get lost in these lows too

Verse 1 Lately, it feels like these days are stuck on replay I've been paralyzed by the fear of wasting them all away and my mind's spinning out from me where do I go from here? Verse 2 Lately, I've been hitting my head against this wall and I've been spent from trying to fight my way out of this box and my mind's spinning away from me where do I go from here? Chorus I'm holding your hand like I'm holding on the edge of the earth like i'm breathing in my last breathe breathing in your air of confidence and my heart beats fast like it's running away from me and my heart beats fast like it's running away from me Verse 3 Lately, been hidden in all of these distractions and I know sooner or later all of these fears are catching up with me and my mind's running away from me where do I go from here? Chorus I'm holding your hand like I'm holding on the edge of the earth like i'm breathing in my last breathe breathing in your air of confidence and my heart beats fast like it's running away from me and my heart beats fast like it's running away from me Bridge and all this time, it's running away from me and all this time, it's running away from me and all this time, it's running away, running away Chorus I'm holding your hand like I'm holding on the edge of the earth like i'm breathing in my last breathe breathing in your air of confidence and my heart beats fast like it's running away from me and my heart beats fast like it's running away from me

Canvas Shoes 03:28
Verse 1 Looking back I try to remember who I was then Those were the days when I was just a blank page With broken number two pencils trying to write this story down Pre-chorus We wrote song lyrics on canvas shoes We wore these lyrics like protective armor As we walked through these halls As we walked through these high school halls Chorus I’d been dreaming of this kind of love I’d been dreaming of the love in a Weepies song Singing I’ve gotta have you I gotta have you I gotta have you, I gotta have you But I hadn’t met her yet Verse 2 Looking back I try to remember who I was then I look at that girl in the photo Wearing clothes like a costume Trying to hide from everyone’s stares Pre-chorus We wrote song lyrics on canvas shoes We wore these lyrics like protective armor As we walked through these halls As we walked through these high school halls Chorus I’d been dreaming of this kind of love I’d been dreaming of the love in a Weepies song Singing I’ve gotta have you I gotta have you I gotta have you, I gotta have you I gotta have you, I gotta have you But I hadn’t met her I hadn’t met her yet Bridge One of these days I’ll find the girl One of these days I’ll be singing these love songs to her But I hadn’t met her yet We wrote song lyrics on canvas shoes We wore these lyrics like protective armor As we walked through these halls As we walked through these high school halls

Chorus She's not afraid of the rain and we've got miles ahead of us everybody knows we've got miles ahead of us I'm not afraid of what lies ahead Verse 1 She's got her hands on the wheel while she's singing her favorite song she's singing "Come on, Eileen" join us on our ride home tonight Chorus She's not afraid of the rain and we've got miles ahead of us everybody knows we've got miles ahead of us I'm not afraid of what lies ahead Verse 2 Her eyes are following the lines on the road My eyes are following hers like connect the dots I want to know every part of her, every line of her song Chorus She's not afraid of the rain and we've got miles to go everybody knows we've got miles ahead of us I'm not afraid of what lies ahead Bridge She's not afraid of the rain She's got these eyes that are killing me She's got green eyes, lush like the month of May Her eyes are leading me home She's not afraid of the rain She's got these eyes that are locked to mine She's got these eyes that have got me dreaming and they are leading us home through the dark tonight She's not afraid oh She's not afraid of the rain we've got miles ahead of us I'm not afraid of what lies ahead
