Tell Me Things 03:52
lyrics
Take me out I’ve spent too many nights all alone in the crowd Working up the nerve just to say your name out loud Take me there To the place we said that we always would share I’ve been pretending that I don’t but we both know I do care So just tell me what you need me to do I don’t have a lot but I’ll give it to you It can only be my fault if you don’t know what you mean to me Tell me things I don’t care what they are, I’ll still be listening You know it’s music to my ears when I hear my phone ring Say my name What’s taking you so long? Can’t you see I’m in pain? So give me what I need—say my name, say my name, say my name So just tell me what you need me to do I don’t have a lot but I’ll give it to you It can only be my fault if you don’t know what you mean to me Say my name Raise your voice up loud, let them hear what you say Say my name So just tell me what you need me to do I don’t have a lot but I’ll give it to you It can only be my fault if you don’t know what you mean to me

World Is Wide 04:30
lyrics
The car window is fogging up as I look out at the rain Thinking about the things that hurt me again and again Oh all I feel is heartache when I’m stuck beneath the gray But I swear to God I’ll ditch this place, yeah I will leave one day And I’ll be gone I’m gonna get a ticket to get out of here by plane Call in sick to the academy, I’ll play that hookie game A backpack’s worth of clothes is all I need to get along And my camera is the last thing that I’ll grab before I’m gone And maybe gum ‘Cause the world is wide baby It’s waiting for me So won’t you come maybe with me Gonna make my way through India all the way to Mozambique Meet the girl from Ipanema and we’ll fly away to Crete From the jungles of the Congo to the shores of Sicily And when this world thinks it’s finally got the best of me Oh I’ll trek on ‘Cause the world is wide baby It’s waiting for me So won’t you come maybe with me Ah can you feel it? (feel it) I can feel it too Why do you worry (worry) About the real you? Who you are really (really) Is your call Because we all can be the person that we wanna be It’s the choice you have, so come with me ‘Cause the world is wide baby It’s waiting for me So won’t you come maybe with me ‘Cause the world is wide baby It’s waiting for me So won’t you come maybe with me

The Other Me 04:56
lyrics
Take me back here to my reality, to these city streets Farther than you can drive in any car On top of all the miles we’re growing farther apart It was another me who’d given you his heart The other me is in a picture on my wall, watching the days go by And I’m watching him, he’s always in my sight Cause that expression on his face, it’s got me wide awake at night So I sit straight up, and reach over for the light Can you tell me stories? Oh please don’t ignore me Please send me some words, even ones I’ve heard Cause I’ve been feeling lonely, feeling like I’m the only Person like me on this side of the sea And across the ocean, time moves in slow motion They’re moving on, they’re all moving on They’re moving on Do you ever wonder how it could have been? And was it really worth all those lonesome vacant days? Maybe it doesn’t matter if we fight or if we stay Maybe in the end it’s really all the same Can you tell me stories? Oh please don’t ignore me Please send me some words, even ones I’ve heard Cause I’ve been feeling lonely, feeling like I’m the only Person like me on this side of the sea And across the ocean, time moves in slow motion They’re moving on, they’re all moving on They’re moving on Oh you’re moving on Just say that you won’t forget me when I’m gone Oh you’re moving on Just say that you won’t forget me when I’m gone Oh you’re moving on Just say that you won’t forget me when I’m gone Oh you’re moving on Just say that you won’t forget me when I’m gone Can you tell me stories? Oh please don’t ignore me

Falling 05:16
lyrics
I’m scared of being alone That I’ve already lost my home And I’m scared of not being a man I’m scared if I speak up they won’t understand And I’m scared to tell her how I feel I’m scared that I’d lose her if I ever revealed And I’m scared that I’ll never find love And if I do I’m scared I won’t be good enough Scared I won’t be good enough I said I was fine So I’m sorry I lied ‘cause without you I’m falling down, down, down I said I was fine So I’m sorry I lied ‘cause without you I’m falling down, down, down I’m scared of being a creep That I’m somehow abnormal in my sexuality I’m scared for my mother to die I’m scared I won’t be there to tell her goodbye Be there to tell her goodbye I said I was fine So I’m sorry I lied ‘cause without you I’m falling down, down, down I said I was fine So I’m sorry I lied ‘cause without you I’m falling down, down, down I said I was fine So I’m sorry I lied ‘cause without you I’m falling down, down, down I said I was fine So I’m sorry I lied ‘cause without you I’m falling down, down, down I said I was fine So I’m sorry I lied ‘cause without you I’m falling down, down, down

Into The Dark 05:57
lyrics
Back in the foggy rumblings of the man that I’ve become Reaching back through all those years I didn’t need no answers, didn’t know where you came from But I needed you to dry my tears I needed to hear you speaking Telling me that I belonged I could hear the floorboards creaking I could feel your breath as you sang me songs Yearning for belonging, ‘cause belonging was my truth Oh I’ll do anything Laid ten thousand hours at the altar of my youth To make my phone ring once again But I know my days are numbered And when I’m alone again Waiting silently for slumber I can hear a whisper, I listen and it says... Step out into the dark Out in into the wild Let go of all the answers given to you as a child ‘Cause if you don’t have doubts And if you don’t have fears You’ll never understand, never see on through the mirror So come look through the mirror Empty hallelujahs echo loudly through my halls As I begin to understand The questions to the answers that I’d kept nailed to the walls I pull each of them out by hand And in the smoggy haze I reach out That’s when I feel it on my fingertips My blood is cold but I can’t stop now So I push the door open and I see Step out into the dark Out in into the wild Let go of all the answers given to you as a child ‘Cause if you don’t have doubts And if you don’t have fears You’ll never understand, never see on through the mirror So come look through the mirror Into the dark Into the wild Into the dark Into the wild
