Stay in School

VERSE 1:
There's no need for explaining
It's cloudy where you are
and no matter how much you reach
You'll never catch a star
You're much too far
CHORUS:
Goodbye to the spotlight
I walked away, this time for good and I'm just saying
In time you will realize
It's not for you
Just stay in school
and you'll get paid
VERSE 2:
It's so hard to justify
I want to feel it again
But it comes with a price
A price that I can't afford anymore

With Me

VERSE 1:
Don't you think that you'll go and just forget about me?
Because I'm the best you've got and it's pretty clear to see
Don't you think that it might be kind of hard to be
On the other side of the country?
PRE-CHORUS:
I know you never wanted for me to leave
But it's getting harder for me to breathe
You're so head strong
I'll never forget all those words you said to me
CHORUS:
Stay with me
You want to go where nothing lasts forever
Stay in the mild weather
Won't you stay with me?
Do you even need a reason?
Stay in the mild weather with me
VERSE 2:
Don't you think that it's kind of cruel to go and leave
Me all alone for the sake of your God damn dreams?
Don't you think that it might be kind of hard to be
All alone with no money?

City Lights

If nothing’s changed
Why aren’t you the same?
Our eyes met
Then you looked away
If this is all that is left for us
You’d think that
I would leave by now
You said you would be here tonight
Because you wanted to see the city lights
You said you would be here tonight
Because you wanted to see the city lights
I took the bus
I’m too far from town
To see your face
So I let you down
I’m in a place
That was made to see
It’s not for you
I did this for me
You said you would be here tonight
Because you wanted to see the city lights
You said you would be here tonight
Because you wanted to see the city lights
(solo)
Looked across the road
Under the streetlight
I thought I could see you
Looking at me
But it was someone else
It was someone else
You said you would be here tonight
Because you wanted to see the city lights
You said you would be here tonight
Because you wanted to see the city lights
The city lights

Built a Kingdom
Light the match to burn it down
See them running
Up the streets of your hometown
You see everybody run
But you don’t move an inch
You will end what you start
Because it’s for the best
You said you wanted this
But you came around
And the flames, they died down
You worked hard for this
But memories run out
And your tires slow down
I will become you
Built a kingdom
Light the match to burn it down
See them running
Up the streets of your hometown
You said you wanted this
But you came around
And the flames, they died down
You worked hard for this
But memories run out
And your tires slow down
I will become you
Remember when I told you everything?
The look on your face was surprising
Did you really think this would be anything
That would make a difference in the way you perceive me?
Feel the music
Live forever
In your soul
It gave you purpose
Feel the music
One last time
Finally see that
Now this is goodbye
Feel the music
Live forever
In your soul
It gave you purpose
Feel the music
One last time
Finally see that
Now this is goodbye
