Crazies 05:17
I know it feels like hell The way we found one another, graced each other, and said farewell. I know it may seem cruel This time we had together, teased and tethered, left in two. But doesn’t it feel so new? So let’s pretend for now, these moments left in silence In fateful alignment are wordless vows. Yeah let’s imagine how, these nights we’ve slept in separate beds Are coming to an end But doesn’t it feel so right to you? I feel it too ‘cause we’re crazies. It’s crazy but it’s true. Yeah we’re crazies, and I’m crazy about you. Now every time you call I wish I could be right next to you, to catch you if you fall. Oh I still wonder how just looking across a crowd, I could have known you’d be returning the craziest gaze I gave you. But didn’t it feel so right to you? I felt it too, it was crazy. It’s crazy but it’s true. Yeah we’re crazies, we’re crazy through and through. Don’t you see why it takes so long to say goodnight? ‘Cause we both know it feels so wrong without these words to make it right. And doesn’t it feel so right to you? I feel it too ‘cause we’re crazies. It’s crazy but it’s true. Yeah we’re crazies, we’re crazy through and through. Yeah we’re crazies, and I’m crazy about you. Yeah we’re crazies, yeah.

Unwind 04:52
I can’t explain what remains, But I know it disappears when I’m with you. I can’t help but sympathize with the pain that’s in your eyes, As it falls into this pool that I just sink into. I know I’ll always be alone, But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true. I know I’ll always be alone, But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true, when I’m with you. I know it will take time for us both to unwind, But I hope that we unravel some truth. I know this feeling’s new, and I know you feel it too ‘Cause we couldn’t smile this wide if these were lies I told to you. I know I’ll always be alone, But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true. I know I’ll always be alone, But it sure as hell is fun to imagine what I’d do if I had you If I had you all to myself, there’s a chance it could be hell, But I’d happily walk through the flames with you And if you took this risk, took my hand, returned this kiss, You’d fuel the fires but we both know that’d be nothing new. I can’t explain what remains, But I know it disappears when I’m with you. I used to call it pain, I used to place the blame. Now I’m back to playing the game, I guess I’ll roll my dice on you. I know I’ll always be alone, But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true. I know I’ll always be alone, But it sure as hell is fun to pretend when I’m with you. I know I’ll always be alone, But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true. I know I’ll always be alone, But it sure as hell is fun to pretend that ain’t true, when I’m with you.

I always use to think that making hearts skip beats was the cheesiest thing, But now that I’ve been short of breath for days I think it’s safe to say That’s exactly what you’re doing to me. Right when I was starting to think this wasn’t for me, Like I was barking up the wrong tree, I got a smile and a wave from you on Newbury St. Girl you make me wanna get ahead of myself tonight. I just can’t keep my feet on the ground but that’s alright, Because I’d wear holes through these shoes just to keep on walking next to you. Girl it scares me, like I’m a sheep in the corner, you’re a wolf in the night. Like I’m a sheep in the corner, you’re a wolf. The whirlwind that ensued picked me up and pulled me in closer to you, Right where I had wanted to be all evening, and I think it’s safe to say That’s exactly where you wanted me too. Every time I looked at you, I couldn’t believe You were real. You were there with me. We laid under the stars ‘til we were falling asleep. Girl you make me wanna get ahead of myself tonight. I just can’t keep my feet on the ground but that’s alright, Because I’d wear holes through these shoes just to keep on walking next to you. Girl it scares me, like I’m a sheep in the corner, you’re a wolf in the night. While I eagerly wait for the next day I happen to run into you, My heart spins with possibilities, and I think it’s safe to say that: Girl you make me wanna get ahead of myself tonight. I just can’t keep my feet on the ground but that’s alright, Because I’d wear holes through these shoes just to keep on walking next to you. Girl it scares me, like I’m a sheep in the corner, you’re a wolf in the night.

I feel like I’ve felt this way before as every evening makes me soar Back in time to when I felt enamoured. Now you’d think that I would learn, from all the mistakes, from all the hurt, From all I’ve inflicted and all that I’ve endured So let me tell you what I’ve seen; Pages and pages of apologies For things that nobody could control except for me. Because I’m the only one to blame, and you can blame me all the same, As I’m a detriment who hasn’t learned a thing. So keep away from me unless you feel like losing everything Or come in close to me, and we could lose ourselves in uncertainty. No I’ll never push you away, and I’ll never make you stay, But if I could I’d keep you here day after day. I know I raise all the warning signs, I sound the same alarms every time. Between a sinner and a saint I walk a fine, fine line. So keep away from me unless you feel like losing everything Or come in close to me, and we could lose ourselves in uncertainty. Oh I know It’s a tall, tall task to heed my warnings when I keep asking you back. Oh I know we’ve got long, long pasts, and that used to scare me but now there’s no turning back. So come in close to me, ‘cause I hope you feel like losing everything, yeah. Lose yourself with me, ‘cause I’d get lost with you for eternity. Yeah, we could lose ourselves in eternity.

Forever on my mind, I’m thinking all the time About the way you came into my life. Forever on my mind, I’ll keep you by my side And show you off for every eye in sight. Baby I’ll hold your hands across the table Baby I’ll stare at you while you talk Baby I’ll kiss you ‘til both our lips are raw Baby I’ll love you for as long as I am able Forever on my mind, I’m wishing every night That I could hold you in my arms so tight. Forever on my mind, I worry all the time Whenever something doesn’t feel quite right. Baby I’ll hear you out through the anger Baby I’ll lift you up, should you fall Baby I’ll stand by you through the worst of it all Baby I’ll love you for as long as I am able … and I am ready, and I am willing To write this story without and ending And if you’re with me, then don’t stop telling me ‘Cause you’re forever on my mind and I’ll remind you all the time that; Baby I’ll hold your hands across the table Baby I’ll stare at you while you talk Baby I’ll kiss you ‘til both our lips are raw Baby I’ll love you for as long as I am able Baby I’ll love you for as long as I am able
