Hurry Hurry 03:23
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 03:32
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 03:07
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 04:11
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
