All I Want Is You

Late night, spotlight
Playing our one good song
You walk in, styling
With a Beartooth t-shirt on so tight
Can’t fight
You never looked so good
Trying to act like I wouldn’t see you
But you knew I would
You never seemed into it in high school
So maybe it’s crazy to believe
That even though you’ve got your arm around someone
You’d rather be with me
But no dice; he’s nice
Always been a friend
Wish I had a logical objection
But he’s the perfect gentleman
It’s selfish from the start
Want you to break his heart
All I want is you
I’m in over my head
Can you tell I don’t know what to do?
All I want is you
But I know in my heart that I don’t deserve to
Now I got tunnel vision and I can’t see through
Driving barefoot, I wish I was in his shoes
But I’m here, you’re there
Looking me up and down
Bet you’d wanna take me home
If you weren’t here with him right now
How is it I never saw this in you?
And even if I did, could it be true
That maybe all along we could have been together
If I had a clue?
But too late; it’s fate
That brought you to him
It tempts me
I can’t see why I never seem to win
It’s like I wanna hurt
I must have a lot of nerve
Maybe we’ll start talking again
You must have liked my band since you stayed ‘til the end
Maybe you’ll say we can be friends
I’ll pretend that there’s more to this tension than you intend
But I know in my heart that I don’t deserve to

I tried to tell myself that I was over you
But I kept thinking about all the things we used to do
You’ve traded it in for a guy who ruined your life
Without even thinking about what you did to mine
I don’t know if I could face you now
I don’t know if I could look you in the eye
Knowing that I’ll never get the chance to call you mine
I don’t know why you’d even tell me
That you want to see me there
‘Cause it’s a lie and you know it
You’re just wanting me to care
But I hope that you remember all the times that we shared
From now on, I’ll be a memory
And it’s not fair
You’re trying to get me back
Just like you did before
You always say the right things
But I can’t take it anymore
Have you heard all the songs I wrote
With my heart on the line?
You can call this the last one
I’m done wasting my time
‘Cause I don’t know if I can face you now
I don’t know if I can look you in the eye
Knowing that I’ll never get the chance to call you mine
As if you care about me
You never did
Not gonna lie and say you loved me
Not gonna call it in the air
I spent so long avoiding tension
And you seem so unaware

What's Been Coming

Always had high hopes as a kid
But I had no plan
Didn’t know if I could do it
Stuck in a town near Akron, Ohio
Playing crappy shows at the Gyro
Mom said, “You need a change of scenery.”
Dad shed a tear as he hugged me goodbye
Knowing I would make my mark
But it’s just the start of a war I'll fight 'til I die
Some say I'm never gonna make it
But what does that mean now?
At least I'm making moves
I’m doing better than them
I'm getting out of my hometown
This is for all the kids back home
With hopes and dreams just like my own
Gonna make them proud
And if I go out, leave the engine running
We’ve all got opinions
But you’re better off listening
It’s my life to waste
The hit’s just a taste of what’s been coming
Been here for a little while
Can’t seem to find my scene or style
I know what they think and it might be fair
That I can’t copy Blink and expect to go anywhere
So I’ll just keep doing me
And someday soon I will make them see
That I was meant to do great things
To find my crowd and give them a song a sing
Some said I’ll never make it
But what does that mean now?
At least I made my move
I’m doing better than them
I got out of my hometown
You’ll start with just a couple friends
No ways or means to an end
And maybe when a hundred people listen
You won’t have to pretend
‘Cause you could go a thousand years
A thousand miles to feel it again
That rush that feels like a million bucks
How much are you willing to spend?

It's Never Your Fault

I spent my days trying to find out the ways
That I messed things up between us
But then I realized it wasn't my fault at all
'Cause in the end, you just let me take the fall
Don't think that I can't see right through you
'Cause I won't take the blame anymore
You're not the person that I thought I knew
I'm not the same, and you're to blame
Yeah, things have changed
We've gone our separate ways
And I can't help myself but think that this was a mistake
You'll just go on and make a nice guy one of your other heartbreaks
So don't pretend that you're the victim
Soon, everyone will know the truth of how you used me
Now you're using him
It's not a game, and you're to blame
We don't deserve it and we won't take it
You'll go around pretending
You can take advantage of every guy in your life
And in the end, they'll hate you
You're the one to blame
I'm sick of you and all your stupid games
And all the ways you try and take us down
Take your commitment issues somewhere else
I won't let you get away with it anymore

Self-Isolation
03:14

Never been good at saying how I feel
Never thought I'd get the chance to make this real
It's surreal...
Living at a distance when we're not to blame
Looking through a screen at you is not the same
It's so lame that being apart is the name of the game
There's not a lot of options when we're stuck in this situation
Trying to find love in a world of self-isolation
I could be the one you can't live without
Can't get close enough to ease your doubt
But timing is everything and everyone’s is running out
It's all running out
Never knew that calling you could feel this rough
Every time we talk, your voice is breaking up
It keeps breaking up
Wanna be there with you but I know I can't
You make me wanna risk my health to hold your hand
Don't wanna Stay-At-Home and wait
Months and weeks made up of days
Hours spent thinking of everything we'd do
If you wanted to escape this hell
We're separated by glass, each in our own cell
We’re plugged into machines, like we’re living in a simulation
Trying to find love in a world of self-isolation
I could be the one you can't live without
Can't get close enough to ease your doubt
But timing is everything and everyone’s is running out
It's all running out
I just want us to be together
I look at you and I want forever
Just tell me that I'm not crazy
That we'll be together someday
I could be the one you can’t live without
But timing is everything and everyone’s is running out
