Hurry Hurry

I wish I'd snoozed, I could've used a bit more sleep
Put on my shoes, these ones are ruining my feet
Eat that apple to the core
As I hurry, hurry out the door
And on my way to seize the day, I start to think
Did I leave something on the counter by the sink?
Check my pockets, never mind
Hurry, hurry, there's no time
I say let's work, but I'm the jerk who's late again
And they know well that I was up 'til 4 AM
This should be easier, I guess
Hurry, hurry, what a mess
Ooh, I'm gonna miss something
If I keep bumping the most significant stuff
All my friends and all the loose ends
And this love of mine 'cause I'm running out of time
Who am I? Am I still the same guy?
Or I have I lost something as I keep stomping?
Mind and health, every bit of myself
I ignore the signs as I'm running out of time
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
A year goes by you wonder why not much is done
You blew right past your precious time with everyone
You've run too much in parallel
Now hurry hurry is your hell
The output is what you put in, and it ain't enough
If you're not focused on the most important stuff
And all that you've got left to show
Is hurry, hurry on the go
Ooh, I'm gonna miss something
If I keep bumping the most significant stuff
All my friends and all the loose ends
And this love of mine 'cause I'm running out of time
Who am I? Am I still the same guy?
Or I have I lost something as I keep stomping?
Mind and health, every bit of myself
I ignore the signs as I'm running out of time
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurried through these crowded streets, and I
Hurried through the food I eat, and I
Hurried when it's time to learn, and why?
How many good people have I burned?
I hurried when I should have been in the zone
I hurried my loved ones off the phone
I hurried through sex, I know, I know
I hurried my quiet time alone
In bed I lie, good place to die, I did my best
Never relaxed, my heart attacks my little chest
I stop to smell the roses
My body decomposes
Ooh, I'm gonna miss something
If I keep bumping the most significant stuff
All my friends and all the loose ends
And this love of mine 'cause I'm running out of time
Who am I? Am I still the same guy?
Or I have I lost something as I keep stomping?
Mind and health, every bit of myself
I ignore the signs as I'm running out of time
Ooh, I'm gonna miss something
If I keep bumping the most significant stuff
All my friends and all the loose ends
And this love of mine 'cause I'm running out of time
Who am I? Am I still the same guy?
Or I have I lost something as I keep stomping?
Mind and health, every bit of myself
I ignore the signs as I'm running out of time
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
Hurry, hurry (whoa)
(Whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa)

Pick Me Up
04:04

Never gonna find a friend
Acting like this
I'm so miserable
I'm so miserable
Never gonna move ahead
Living in the past
I'm so miserable
I'm so miserable
I've been, feeling down
Not much that I can do to keep anyone around
I'm so miserable
I'm so miserable
Pick me up
Pick me up
Why'd she gotta look my way
With those bright eyes
She's incredible
She's incredible
What am I gonna say
And how might she reply
She's incredible
She's incredible
She is a girl, I could impress
If I could just refrain from behavin' like this
She's incredible
She's incredible
Pick me up
Pick me up
Putting down this guitar
Gonna say hello
Just get comfortable
Just get comfortable
I'm a fellow with a broken heart
And now she knows
Just get comfortable
Just get comfortable
Take a seat, grab a drink
Try not to give a fuck what anybody thinks
Just get comfortable
Just get comfortable
Pick me up
Pick me up
Pick me up
Pick me up

The Work
03:04
|

Tried to be perfect but I'm not
In this line of work that's how you've got to be
So many details that we need to oversee
Climbing and then descending rapidly
Oh the work, it's just so hard
I heard someone say "Do or do not"
There is no try
People could die
Hey boy, we got ourselves a situation
Without the money and the paid vacation
Ain't no way you can survive
Hey boy, you take this ticket to the station
Cut off your friends and all your family relations
You might make it out alive
Oh the work, it's just so hard
I heard somebody say "Do or do not"
There is no try
People could die
Hey boy, we got ourselves a situation
Without that money and the paid vacation
There ain't no way you can survive
Hey boy, you take this ticket to the station
Cut off your friends and all your family relations
You might make it out alive
Oh the work, it's just so hard
I heard someone say "Do or do not"
There is no try
People could die

Blame
04:32
|

There goes my luck
There goes my pride
There goes everything that I've been working for all of my life
There goes that dream
Ah so it seems
There goes the days and nights awakened fighting thoughts of losing
Maybe everything I learned before today was just a waste
What if everywhere I felt that I belonged was not my place
In the world
Don't blame yourself
'Cause you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt
Don't blame
Get on your feet, enough poor me
If you've got time to bitch and whine, well there's still time to try again
This time you're free
I know it's hard to believe
After them days and nights awake you're feeling lost, you're losing it
But if everything you learned before today was just a waste
Think of everyone you met along the way and all you've faced
and boy you've won
Yeah
Don't blame yourself
'Cause you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt
Don't blame
Now the road laid out before me is in flames
And the bridges that I've crossed have collapsed
And the vultures they are circling overhead
They're reminding me of choices from my past
Don't blame yourself
'Cause you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt
Don't blame yourself
'Cause you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt
Don't blame
Don't blame
Oh you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt
Don't blame
Don't blame
Oh you tried as hard as hell
With the hand that you were dealt
Don't blame
Don't blame
Don't blame
Don't blame
There goes my luck

Any Way

I swore I'd love you
'Til I die and it's still the truth
So don't walk away
I'm sorry girl, stay
Do you really mean everything that you say? Anyway?
I must confess, I'm in distress
My life was good now I'm just a mess
Do you think we could try love again?
One thing's for sure: we could never be friends, anyway
Anyway
If there's any way I could get you to stay, there's no words I could say
There's no song I could play
But every day you're drifting further away
From me
We used to fit together perfectly
You call me selfish
But you know you're wrong
I'm thinking of you every song
You say you're tired
But you want to run
Do you think there's someone else for you under sun?
Anyway... Anyway... Anyway
If there's any way I could get you to stay, there's no words I could say
There's no song I could play
But every day you're drifting further away
From me
We used to fit together perfectly
Anyway I could get you to stay, there's no words I could say
There's no song I could play
But every day you're drifting further away
From me
We used to fit together perfectly
Anyway
Anyway
Anyway

Magic

Was just a kiss
But oh my god
It was magic
The only thing about it all
That's kind of tragic
Is that's the only thing I can remember
About a moment that we had back in November
Is that we kissed
And oh my god
It was magic
Sometimes you don't know
If it's real or some kind of magic show
And so all you can do
Is pretend it's all true
Was it raining on that street or was it snow?
Did I sweep you off your feet? Girl, I don't know...
Cause everytime I close my eyes I see you
But I can't imagine what the hell did we do
After we kissed
But oh my god,
It was magic (magic)
Sometimes you don't know
If it's real or some kind of magic show
And so all you can do
Is pretend it's all true
Yeah, sometimes you don't know
If it's real or some kind of magic show
And so all you can do
Is pretend it's all true
Is it for real? Is it a dream?
'Cause I'm in bed, alone it seems
Your dress was red, I'm pretty sure
Your lips were wet, girl I want more, more, more
Than just a kiss, 'cause oh my god
It was magic
Sometimes you don't know
If it's real or some kind of magic show
And so all you can do
Is pretend it's all true
Yeah, sometimes you don't know
If it's real or some kind of magic show
And so all you can do
Is pretend it's all true
Sometimes you don't know if it's real
Sometimes you don't know if it's real
And so all you can do is pretend it's all true
(Sometimes you don't know)
(Oh it's real, so real)

Ready or Not

Ready or not, here I come
Well, that's the school of thought I'm from
I must admit I'm not that dumb anymore
'Cause I've been burned, babe
Yeah, I learned to take my time
And I'm sorry that I'm taking yours
I never wanted it to be like this
Thought my luck had changed with our first kiss
It lasted hours
It seems nothing lasts forever
Listen to me, do I sound happy?
Do I sound ready, or not?
Do I sound ready, or not?
But you can cloud my mind
Cloud my mind with love
I wish you would
And we could dive in blind
Swim around in this flood
'Cause it feels good
What if we both rewind
To a time where I had you at "hello"
Ready or not
Here we go
We got a shot, we're not so complicated
I never fought or hated you
This is my ultimatum too
'Cause it's our turn, babe
And we're gonna learn to do this right
Yeah, I'm sorry that it's taking years
I never wanted it to be like this
But it all could change with just one kiss
It could last a long time
Hey it could even last forever
So listen to me, if you want happy
Do you want ready, or not?
Do you want ready, or not?
Ready or not, here I come
Are you ready?
Then you could cloud my mind
Cloud my mind with love
I wish you would
I wish you would dive in blind
Swim around in this flood
Yeah, it feels good
What if we both rewind
To a time where I had you at "hello"
Ready or not
Here we go
You cloud my mind
You cloud my mind with love
And we could dive in blind
Swim around in this flood
Yeah, we both rewind
To a time where I had you at "hello"
Ready or not...
Ready or not...
Ready or not...

Different
03:07
|

I thought about you every day
Since the incident
And how I couldn't stay
Didn't want you thinking I'm a bad guy
Ain't no need to question my integrity
But the emotion was strong
Lasted longer than I hoped that it would
Kinda sorta built a reputation
Of biting off a little more than I should
Ooh, this could be different
Ooh, we could be good friends
and lovers just the same
The city is a lonely place for the curious
Everyone is in their phones
hardly meet the eyes of a stranger
Never mind hold a whole conversation
But luckily I knew someone
That someone knew someone who knew you
Could've been an awkward situation
Left alone with somebody that you barely know but...
Ooh, this could be different
Ooh, we could be good friends
And lovers just the same
We run into the ocean
We're swimming in a hurricane
I know they tell you not to
'Cause the undertow will pull you in
Ooh, this could be different
Ooh, this could be different
Ooh, this could be different
Ooh, we could be good friends
And lovers just the same
