Sleep tight now
Don't let me wake you
Dream well now
Just let it take you
It's getting late
We've got to re-evaluate
Just where we are
And where do we go from here
Smile for me
Cause it's all I want yeah
And won't ya talk, won't ya talk, talk to me now
Even under your breath, yeah
It's just a shame
That we're not on the same page
Because I'm on the shelf
Where all the paper backs lay
Why can't we be as one like planned
You said you loved me
Why'd you do that
Just be honest with yourself
Just be honest with yourself
Oh oh
With yourself
oh oh oh oh oh
Just be honest with yourself
Be honest with yourself
Sleep tight now
Don't let me wake you

Diving In

I can see for miles but still see nothing
Where the water meets the sky that's where I'll wanna be
Tell me where you hide, tell me where you'll be
I'll look for you a while but might not see you
And if I smile, will you smile back
And if I wave, will you raise your hand
And if I call, will you answer me
Or just leave me to think it over again
Diving In too deep
Coming up, coming up to see
The cloudy surface waits
And I'm tryna catch, tryna catch my breath
This ship has sailed the sevens seas
Sailed every ocean, and every river in between
Let the captain know I'm getting off
I'm happy here, I've travelled far enough
And if you smile, should I smile back
And if you wave, should I raise my hand
And if you call, should I answer you
Or just leave you over over again, over again
Diving In too deep
Coming up, coming up to see
The cloudy surface waits
And I'm tryna catch, tryna catch my breath
Diving In
Diving In
Diving In
Diving In too deep
Coming up, coming up to see
The cloudy surface waits
And I'm tryna catch, tryna catch my breath
Cause I'm diving In
Diving in
Diving in

Replace

Overtakers and undertakers
Brothers, sisters and love makers
Flashing lights, speed adrenalines
Did you catch that train, did ya catch that bus
It's all irrelevant
Cause we're rushing by, bye bye
I'm dealing with life
Falling behind
The energy's gone
They're all moving on
I'm biting my tongue
Is this how it tastes
To know you're gone
I won't try to replace you
You're blowing my mind
Breaking my heart
Please please can we start over
I miss you, you're gone
Just pick up and call me now
I won't try to replace you
Sons and daughters with their high end wage,
The lines and wrinkles
That tell stories I can't remember
With your fallen stars, your hand grenades
And everything I can't explain
Return flights, those flashing lights
It's all the same
Cause we're rushing by, bye bye
I'm dealing with life
Falling behind
The energy's gone
They're all moving on
I'm biting my tongue
Is this how it tastes
To know you're gone
I won't try to replace you
You're blowing my mind
Breaking my heart
Please please can we start over
I miss you, you're gone
Just pick up and call me now
I won't try to replace you
Life's too short
To figure you out
Life's too quick
I just should have went for it, yeah
Life's too short
To figure you out
Life's, Life's too quick
And I went for it
Oh, Oh, Oh,
I'm dealing with life
Falling behind
The energy's gone
They're all moving on
And I'm biting my tongue
Is this how it tastes
To know that you're gone
I won't try to replace you
You're blowing my mind
Breaking my heart
Please please can we start over
I miss you, you're gone
Just pick up and call me now
I won't try to replace you
I won't ever replace you
I won't ever replace you
I won't ever, I won't ever replace you
