Took a deep breath in the mirror
You didn't like it when I wore these shoes
But I do

Turn the lock and put my headphones on
You always said you didn't get this song
But I do
I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late
But you got here early and you'd stand and wave
I walked to you

Pulled the chair and helped me in
And you don't know how nice that is
But I do

And you throw your head back laughing
like a little kid
I think it's strange that you think I'm funny
'cause she never did
And I've been spending the last eight months
thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Friday, in a bakery
I watched it begin again

I said I never met someone who could
understand these LG records as me
But you do

We tell stories and you don't know why
I'm coming off a little shy
But I do

But you show your killer smile
with the perfect teeth
I think it's new that you say I'm sorry
'cause she never did
And I've been spending this year's eight months
But in August, when our eyes met
I let it begin again

And we walked down the block to the cab
I almost brought her up
But you stopped to talk
About the colors that you dyed your hair once
Every single nighttime
I wanna talk about her
But for the first time
What's past is past

'Cause you held me in your arms
like a little kid
I think it's strange that you say I'm priceless
'cause she never did
And I've been spending the first eight months
Thinking all love ever does is fail and mourn and slay
But in October when we held close
I had it begin again

But on a Friday, in a bakery
I watched begin again

It Can’t Rain Everyday,
But as the Daylight falls;
When Angels and Serpents Dance,
I’ll Be Ready.
For Today,
As the rain is Descending Upon Us;
This Lifewar is Collapsing.
I feel Blood In The Tears
As this Internal Cannon
Is Driving Nails into my soul.

I remember the Story Of Us
And remember when you were Mine.
Tell Me Why, You’re Not Sorry,
I was Innocent in The Way I Loved You.
We were Fifteen and Fearless;
I thought our Love Story would last
Forever And Always.
I was Enchanted, as the Sparks Fly.
Memories take me Back To December,
And reminds me that the Last Kiss
Was Better Than Revenge.

I’m Haunted, I’m Addicted,
But that’s just the Tip Of The Iceburg.
Where Do I Go From Here?
I wanted to Curl Up And Die.
Sorrow makes it so hard to Breathe Today.
You want me to Let It All Out,
So Here We Go.

You’re The One I’m Waiting For
And they say that the Best Is Yet To Come.
But I’m Buried Beneath,
Or So I Thought.
I’m So Sick,
I can feel you All Around Me.

I’m Sorry.

I Just Want You To Know,
You’ll Always Be My Best Friend.
You’re in my Atmosphere,
Even when you’re Gone.
Hey Now, I need a Getaway Car;
Turn on the Ignition ‘cause Suddenly,
I’m All In, I’m Letting Go.
Whoopsi Daisy, I’ve caught a fire.
This “No Ordinary Love Song” is Boomin out
That I’m For You.
I only have one life, One World,
And God Forbid that I should be Poetically Correct.

So, come Shine With Me like the beautiful star you are,
Because you’re Perfect and I feel
Fully Alive for the first time in a long time.
Set Apart This Dream, The Kind
That has you Swept Away In The Dark.

I’m Melting away this Monster,
And there’s a Hero underneath
That’s There For You.
I’m Awake And Alive today,
And I don’t want to be One Day Too Late.
I Believe that I’m Forgiven and I’ll
Never Surrender to the Chasm.

Arise my Beautiful Bride as we watch Fireflies,
During a Vanilla Twilight.
I know that this is No Ordinary Love
And it’ll last until the End Of The World.

No more Divisions.
No more Cutting The Ties.
No more Levelers,
Just this Phenomenon.
I’m There For You;
I’m For You.

This Ain’t No Ordinary Love Song
Because you’re my greatest Treasure,
And When You Come Back Down
I’ll Be Ready,
‘Cause I’m The Lucky One
And I Love You.
