Clear Skies 03:00
Verse I Someday ill be bigger, ill be stronger It’s the truth. You can see it in my eyes Pre Chorus I And I’m already too late. And I can find my own way through the broken leaves that we have left behind Verse II Its not hard to say, I cant take this any longer But at least I can say I tried Pre Chorus II “ “ Half Chorus But its clear skies from here and we’ve bottled up all our hopes and fears Verse III Someday the stars wont shine bright any longer And our names they will burn across the sky Pre Chorus III We wont become a memory And we will show them what it means To have worked so hard and gotten far this time Chorus But its clear skies from here And we’ve bottled up all our hopes and fears Ill make this clear That its clear skies from here Bridge And ill make it out my own way And they’ll choke on their words and see None of this was make believe This place will be mine someday And I’ve got nothing else to prove, then to prove all of this to you Chorus “ “

Verse I I’ve been painted in a new light for a year now They keep fucking with my name by spreading false doubts Pre chorus I And this smear campaign has dropped me in the deep end Who can I call my friend? Chorus I If I let them take another year, well I might disappear Ill fade out on my own But if I show them that there’s more to see, that there’s more to me Than ill make it alone Verse II I’ve paid my dues ill prove my point through loyalty, familiarity designs Yeah I’ve got this, and ill prove it So much time spent frustrated Good friends are overrated to me Cause the great ones I call family Pre Chorus II “ “ Chorus II “ “ Bridge At times I’m not sure I can do this I’m breaking brittle bones But believe me I’m not fucking useless Its just all I really know Pre Chorus III “ “ Chorus III “ “

Chin Up 03:18
Verse I Times when you said that we are the only ones Thoughts in my head, “Well I should have found someone” Pre chorus I Instead of wasting time, thinking I’m happy in my mind We were in love. Or so I thought Verse II If we pretend that we are the only ones Naive again, now we are growing up Pre Chorus II Guilty of it all. I should have left before the fall Now I’m alone again Chorus I Chin up! I’m living life in spite of you I let go of the past just like I always do Ill resist you like the plague that you are Yeah, I tried to be the best for you I fell short just like you knew that I was going to And ill hold my head up high Verse III Hoping I’m dead, I really don’t have much fun All that I am….but greater someday ill become Pre chorus III And everyday I stay awake I’m grateful for each breath I take Stay gold Chorus II “ “ Bridge Let me get my vape on dogg! I never wanted to be just like you At times it takes some great mistakes to be somebody new I saved my liver taking hits from a bong But my lungs they weren’t so lucky I’ve done nothing wrong I know I could do somebody harm I wish I knew what was going on Pre chorus “Pre Chorus I” Chorus III

Fake Friends 03:09
Verse I We were misread. We were foreign kids Speaking some bullshit rhetoric Who did you think you would protect By keeping us ignorant? The older I get, I try to forget The obstacles and barriers holding me back While ive known what ive wanted the whole damn time And im certain this tragedy will end right Pre Chorus I But in a blaze of glory, we’ll share our stories Cause you’re the only one that gets me Just keep our secrets, they wont believe us, If we try telling anyway Chorus I Hold on, don’t let go just yet We’re so close to breaking out and we can forget Our fake friends that depend on this small, small town Hold on, don’t let go just yet We’re so close to getting our we’ll never look back On fake friends that depend on this small, small town Verse II The focus will shift, I have to admit Persistence will pay off in the end While we’ve waited and waited for just the right time This moment is ours we were destined to shine Pre Chorus II And you can keep our secrets , they wont believe us, If we try telling anyway. Chorus II “ “ Bridge Take a breath, let it out, now you see again. Relearn to live for yourself. Ill pretend love is blind, and its in our blood. It’s the only thing we’ve known since we’re young. Chorus III “ “

Verse I Well arent you sick and tired of doing everything they want? When will you realize you have the ability to make it on your own? Your strong enough. Pre Chorus I To keep those bruised eyes open, And mask the pain so they cant see. Yeah all the bullshit they’ve spoken Is not enough to phase me. Chorus I Whoa, ive seen that look before And their words wont bring me down But it takes a lot of strength to fight them off And hold your ground. But their words wont bring me down. Verse II Well aren’t you sick and tired? You know that you got the right stuff. When will you realize its not about the clothes I wear or how I do my hair Yeah you got it son Pre chorus II Just keep those bruised eyes open And fight the pain so they cant see Yeah all the bullshit they’ve spoken Is not enough to phase me Chorus II “ “ Bridge C’mon kid, keep that head up I know its shitty, but life kinda gets rough And everyday you see them standing around When you’ve been working at it since before they knew how Chorus III “ “

Sometimes 02:34
Verse I Sometimes I want you in the morning When we just get out of bed After breakfast, while we’re cleaning When you kiss me on the head Pre Chorus I Oh yeah, you make me forget That you can do me wrong And then I remember…. And I don’t want to sing this song Verse II Sometimes I want you in the evening When we get back from riding bikes But how can you blame me I’ve been watching you and your thighs Pre Chorus II Oh yeah, you make me forget That you punched me in the heart And then I remember…. And I don’t want to sing this song Verse III Endless nights of being cold I’m wide awake cause the fear keeps pounding Insisting that I never get some sleep I haven’t seen the back of my eyelids for weeks As if I have them I’m not drunk just yet but this outta do it Pre chorus III “ “

Verse I And I’m begging to see the light After all that I’ve seen so far, doesn’t seem so right Pre Chorus I Could this be the end of everything that I’ve known from the past to the present Verse II And I just want to make things right You stood by me, why cant I take up the fight? Pre chorus II This cant be the end I’ve tried way to hard to start over And do it again Chorus I Maybe this time we’ll make it through it Follow in line. Ill take you to the end Just one step closer I can feel it Trying harder this time, until we bring it again Outro And that’s exactly what we need Verse II And I’ve tried my hand at this one How did we get in so deep Our eyes are open but our mouths are sewn shut The water’s rising and we’re sinking knee deep Pre Chorus II And all we offer is the chance to falter Chorus II “ “

Suddenly 03:29
Intro Everything is changing about me And I cant seem to keep up New places I have found, new faces are bound to show up Pre Chorus I But I wont wait another minute to figure it out I’m on to you No I cant stop until I get it Verse I Your words have changed me Now, somehow, I’ve turned into something new Will I regret this? My minds at the ready at least till I prove this Can you convince me now? All that I’ve wanted is something that you want too Pre chorus II “ “ Chorus I If you take this life away Take it back to another day Well then suddenly I’m not alright And if you take this all away Forgetting yesterday Well then suddenly I’m losing my mind Verse II My feet are stuck in the ground I cant keep running away from you Will I regret this? With lack of me trying I just feel useless Oh yeah, did you get the message? All that I’ve wanted is suddenly coming true Pre chorus III “ “ Chorus II “ “: Bridge Well do you see me know? Find the strength it takes to knock them over and see Cause this is your life and things could only get better No matter how far we’ve grown I cant let you go No I wont end this softly And I can feel it running circles inside my head And every minute I get closer I’m already dead Chorus III “ “

Anchors 03:12
Verse I The books on the shelf are all dusted and old Our course has been charted We wont see the land till we’ve grown Are we coming back again? There’s no way to describe this Our hearts are still bound to the sea Pre chorus I No, when did this happen? We’ve grown into men I believe Chorus I Anchors away The world is at your fingertips Close your eyes and sail at your will Anchors away To currents pull us under now Its up to you to lead us away Verse II Ill follow the tides, the blue skies have your eyes Every grain of sand whispers your name The compass points north, while my minds to the south We’re off in the darkness Using stars instead of a lighthouse Pre chorus II No, we’re fish in a barrel I’ve been told to take what I need No, when did this happen? We’ve grown into men I believe Chorus II “ “ Bridge The winds picking up and the seas are all rough The fears of us capsizing, we’ve had enough And its all a dream Pre chorus III Are we coming back again? Our hearts are still bound to the sea Chorus III “ “
10.
Verse I I wish I had more time to say All the things that have been inside of my mind I’ve always looked to you I wish I could rewind the day And stop my favorite moments and play them back for you So you could see them too Pre chorus I And I didn’t lose anything Than the stride in my heart Chorus I And I should have said this sooner I might have found its not enough Saying words when your not here But I’m glade to say I knew ya’ I know right now its kinda tough Saying words when your not here Verse II I wish I had seen things your way And listened closer when you spoke of your life And all that you’ve been through And maybe I will see the day And make a difference in somebody else’s life So I could be like you Pre chorus II And I didn’t lose anything Than the stride in my heart And Id rather lose anything Than to see you depart Chorus II “ “ Bridge “pre chorus lyrics” Chorus III “ “
