Intro 02:41
I don't think I could make it on my own I don't think I could make it on my own cause when I'm by myself I get dark and lonely cause when I'm by myself too long I get dark and lonely
2.
in the evening when it's time to settle down I start dreaming that you would come around cause I want you to be here by my side cause I need you to be here by my side cause I want you to be here by my side but that's not where you are when I was younger I would stay up all night doin' nothin' waiting for the morning light wishing I had someone around to distract me from all my internal sounds watching the clock for no time at all trying to find a friend I could give a call
3.
I'm gonna stay with you, baby all through the night

Fraidy Cat 04:43
when I met you I was so fragile I didn't know who I was sit and think about the few things I would change then my life could be like theirs I'd change my body and my fear of flying and I'd keep all my hair I'd be confident and I'd start applying then it'd all be great I swear we walked all night we walked all night until the sun came up we walked all night we walked all night but I knew it wasn't enough I want this to last forever I'm afraid of forever I want this to last forever I'm so afraid of forever I just wanna be able to sleep at night
5.
went home again the other day turned right then left the old way everything looks the same but the people seem to change miss my friends I knew back then hoping soon that we will hang been thinkin' bout if my parents left would I still care about the rest? don't really love the town love the people I knew there miss the way it used to be with my friends without a care now it's how I feel when I'm driving home with you really used to love this town all the friends that I had around now I love being with you seein' friends from my old crew now it's how I feel when I'm driving home with you
6.
Killing Time 04:26
I'm waiting for the game to start but I don't care who wins just wanna kill time I'm hoping that the coffee kicks in before I need a drink and go to bed I don't do anything at work or in the evening the days go by so quickly I sit and wave and smile and get older so little to complain about so what's depression about can't control it I got everything I need why do I feel incomplete? I'm waiting for the game to start but I don't care who wins just wanna kill time I'm hoping that the coffee kicks in before I need a drink and go to bed I got everything I need why do I feel incomplete?
7.
Regret 05:06
I should have known better carry it the rest of my life try to grasp for excuses I was young and dumb how could you still like me? like I care for you I hope you don't dwell on it as much as I do he threw things at you I just stood and watched we called you a nasty name slammed your door and walked i need you to know I'm filled with regret i hope you forgive me and know it wasn't meant
8.
I know I'm gonna find something but I don't think I'll find something I love Afraid of failure or wasting too much time so I stick with the mundane I don't know if I could leave Ohio I've never really stayed engaged I often struggle to follow through the things I seem to really like I'm not good at at least not good enough I don't know if I could leave Ohio Watched my friend fly away Quit his job with no more pay he'll face that choice eventually for now I'm stuck with envy doesn't matter what I do as long as I still got you I probably sound like I'm depressed but I'm just dealing with some stress I'm about to do the same but somehow I'll end with no change I'll face that choice eventually but for now I'm stuck with envy Humble, spoiled, grateful I want more that I don't work for
9.
Serene 04:54
I wanna give you everything I've been searchin all around for a place to call my home I've been looking all over town for someone to call my own It's amazing how well my body was able to conceal before I met you I didn't know how good I could feel I was cynical for so long then you showed me I was wrong you live twice as much each day now I'm glad you're taking me along please don't leave leave leave me alone leave leave leave me alone
10.
Motion pictures on my TV screen, A home away from home, livin' in between But I hear some people have got their dream. I've got mine. I hear the mountains are doin' fine, Mornin' glory is on the vine, And the dew is fallin', the ducks are callin'. Yes, I've got mine. Well, all those people, they think they got it made But I wouldn't buy, sell, borrow or trade Anything I have to be like one of them. I'd rather start all over again. Well, all those headlines, they just bore me now I'm deep inside myself, but I'll get out somehow, And I'll stand before you, and I'll bring a smile to your eyes. Motion pictures, motion pictures.
