Wishes 02:57
I'm done making wishes I'll start making plans Dreams never come true if all you do Is sit on your hands I don't need motivation I have all that I need I'm already in motion, with total devotion And picking up speed I'm building a castle One not made of stone It will be even better 'cuz we'll be together And it'll be home I'm done making wishes They've already come true Every hope and ambition came to fruition When I met you

I just wanna take you far away Save you from the stress of every day Wrap you up in my arms as we both elevate You'll know everything will be ok Just don't look down 'Cuz we'll never be as high again as we are now Don't look down Don't look down 'Cuz we'll never be as high again as we are now So don't look down, no Look at everything that we don't need At this height it's just you and me Say goodbye to all the ugly things that we can't see Just close your eyes and listen to the breeze And don't look down 'Cuz we'll never be as high again as we are now So don't look down Don't look down 'Cuz we'll never be as high again as we are now So don't look down, no Don't look down 'Cuz we'll never be as high again as we are now So don't look down Don't look down 'Cuz we'll never be as high again as we are now So don't look down Don't look down We'll never be as high again as we are now So don't look down Don't look down 'Cuz we'll never be as high again as we are now So don't look down, no

When you can't sleep and you can't rest You're feeling weak, you're feeling stressed Just let me do what I do best Just let me love you Just let me love you Just let me love you Like I do 'Cuz I do 'Cuz I do Yes I do The sun is out but you're inside You're so worn out you have to hide I'll show you how to see the other side Another day, another door Who can say what it's for? Either way, tú eres mi amor Just let me love you Just let me love you Just let me love you Like I do 'Cuz I do 'Cuz I do Yes I do

Song I Know 04:35
Can you hear me out there? I'm just tryin' to break through the noise It's hard to get anywhere without tryin' Don't you hear my voice? Fallen deep in the hole I'm just tryin' to dig myself out I don't have much control but I'm tryin' To kill all my doubts Maybe one day I'll know All my promise will show Maybe one day I'll play Hope it's not far away Maybe one day you'll say "Hey there, that's a song I know" Been locked up for years And I'm tired of draggin' these old shoes When it's perfectly clear that I'm dying To let all this loose Maybe one day I'll know All my promise will show Maybe one day I'll play Hope it's not far away Maybe one day you'll say "Hey there, that's a song I know" Maybe one day I'll know All my promise will show Maybe one day I'll play Hope it's not far away Maybe one day you'll say "Hey there, that's a song I know" Maybe one day I'll know All my promise will show Maybe one day I'll play Hope it's not far away Maybe one day you'll say "Hey there, that's a song I know"

An Open Door 05:34
Make a smile Keep it a while Take it with you to the moon I'm still in bed You go on ahead I promise I will see you soon Carve your name into my heart It's there forever more Carve your name into my heart Like it's an open door Freelancer You are the answer To every question I could know That's the spirit Let's stay near it Don't you ever let it go Carve your name into my heart It's there forever more Carve your name into my heart Like it's an open door Carve your name into my heart It's there forever more Carve your name into my heart Like it's an open door

Wipe the dust off this old face I wanna look my best for you The lines appear just like the grays And there is nothing I can Not that I'd want to Time isn't on my side But I'm taking it all in stride Gonna have the time of my life with you Until I die I should've know while it ticked by That there was somewhere else to be What they say about hindsight Doesn't mean a thing to me 'Cuz I wasn't ready Time isn't on my side But I'm taking it all in stride Gonna have the time of my life with you Until I die Time isn't on my side But I'm taking it all in stride Gonna have the time of my life with you Until I die

My Light 04:00
When everything is going right You shine so bright But when the fog creeps in You disappear from sight I was fumbling through the dark And you became my light I thought that I could do the same I guess I wasn't right But still I'm gonna try I'm gonna try Still I'm gonna try I'm gonna try You let it bottle up inside you And try to act polite Until it all comes crashing down And starts to dim your light When everything is going wrong And you can't sleep at night I don't know what else to do But come and hold you tight And be there by your side By your side Be there by your side By your side You don't have to hide You don't have to hide 'Cuz I'll be there by your side By your side 'Cuz you're my light

Square One 02:30
Call it in the air and watch it fall Cross your fingers 'til they snap It's better to be an optimist Than just wait for collapse When I was a kid I'd always fall No matter how fast I ran Now that I am old it's just the same But I know how to land Square one isn't any fun But it's not the end No, you've just begun Lift up your head and fill up your lungs You're not the only one Call it in the air and watch it fall Brace yourself for heads or tails Either way you're gonna work it out 'Cuz plot always prevails Square one isn't any fun But it's not the end No, you've just begun Lift up your head and fill up your lungs You're not the only one

I come to you in my time of need You just sit and watch me bleed Smile so hard it hurts your teeth What you don't know, you can't see Start your day in your king size bed Proudly wear your cap so red Turn your back 'til the movement's dead No discretion where you tread It's alright You'll be fine It's alright 'Cuz it's not you this time The comfort of a careless mind A callused hand that can always grind A light so dim it'll leave you blind I compromise but you decline It's alright You'll be fine It's alright 'Cuz it's not you this time It's alright You'll be fine It's alright 'Cuz it's not you this time

Unkind 02:30
Something's wrong with me I have no control Everything I see Pushes me into a hole My insecurity keeps me in a cage I wish I could act my age Something's gotta give I hope it's not my will It's hard enough to live With a heart that won't sit still My mind is so unkind it never let's me rest It won't even let me hope for the best I hope it's not too much To lend an open hand All I need's your touch And all my troubles end I'm so in love with you it's twisting me in knots Any time I'm somewhere you're not Any time I'm somewhere you're not Any time I'm somewhere you're not
