she looks good and she knows it lovesick boys try not to stare as she comes passing perfect skin the spring wind blows her hair across her sun glasses oh love at a glance do i ever really have a chance cause this feels like a fight i'm a light weight and we're heavy drinking is this right tonight? i don't have the slightest feeling come on just make a move kid don't choke on your words what's the worst that could happen? how many times up and down you gonna check her out? it's the seventh round and your head is spinning she's a knockout and this feels like a fight i'm a light weight and we're heavy drinking is this right tonight? i don't have the slightest feeling i'm numbing the summer is there a kiss coming from her? i ask in the bathroom mirror i just wanna lay near her i just wanna stay with her i'd just love to be with her i would love cause this feels like a fight i'm a light weight and we're heavy drinking is this right tonight? i don't have the slightest feeling

Plane Ride 04:21
we dreamt with the loveliest foresight letting our hearts speak out loud but we don't know how the future may lie even in the honesty of now but every sleepy heart is always half awake and i've seen so many faces yeah it may take a lifetime to wait to find someone who's gonna love you through the changes i'll catch a plane ride spend that money i don't have but it feels right when i want you this bad i'll catch a plane ride spend that money i don't have yeah it feels right cause i want you this bad i fell into the sweetest euphoria humid air, 2am, and your voice the realest touch of what i've wanted most oh i am the luckiest boy we watch love falling down, hurting all around us friends crying on our shoulders, oh we catch the tears i always knew you were something different to me i wanna find out just what you're doing here i'll catch a plane ride spend that money i don't have but it feels right when i want you this bad i'll catch a plane ride spend that money i don't have yeah it feels right cause i want you this bad this ain't just a rush of emotion this ain't some starry eyed prose this is commitment this is confidence stronger than i've ever known i'll catch a plane ride spend that money i don't have but it feels right when i want you this bad i'll catch a plane ride spend that money i don't have yeah it feels right cause i want you this bad

Gentle 03:17
it feels like a sickness all the time oh it's awful being so thoughtful cursed with a considerate mind and i wonder now what triggered this little lifelong luck where i trust so quick and i care too much it makes me feel weak it makes me feel weird when i realize that hurting other people is my greatest fear how did i get so fucking gentle? how did it come to this? i can't deal with how those other boys treat you when i can't even fake a kiss oh here's my deal i want to keep it real so lets have a heart to heart and let it all spill out oh i'm a good guy oh don't be fooled honesty brands my hands with a golden rule and i'm here to calm any of your doubts but i've got no strong right cross ain't got no home run swing just my open heart and these words i sing how did i get so fucking gentle? how did it come to this? which moves did i make, oh what mistakes made me so sensitive? i will love you hard with my soft-spoken charm but i don't gotta hear that i'm the best yeah i'm not in this for the conquest but how did i get so fucking gentle? how did it end up like this? i can't deal with how those other boys treat you when i can't even fake a kiss on your lips

i know you got a little secret in your mouth spit it out i'm listening harder than i ever have before i know you got a little secret in your heart spit it out i'm listening harder than i ever have before cause you're my weakness oh i will run so fast to your feet yeah all your sweetness so bright in your smile shining out through your teeth and i drift along these streets with my palms raised out from my hips waiting on a song to grace the soft talk of my lips they always bear your name so elegant and true another story that begs the question of what we'll tumble into oh we can build this on independence like 4th of july let your fears fade away like smoke in the sky oh you don't have to worry i think the distance makes us real this space is not a barricade it just leaves more room left to feel on my back in your bedroom i remember trembling in bliss i felt something then oh i know that it exists so let me pull you closer now there don't have to any rules i like taking this slower i'm tired of rushing like a fool what i'd do to just lay with you climb that ladder to your loft i'll always buy the ticket i don't care of the cost cause you can't place a price on what i believe so let me take your hand and place it on my heartbeat
5.
Run Back 03:49
you won't find her in the photos from the weekend yeah she's always ducking the lens but you'll remember the times she caught your eye you can't get those images out of your head but now i'm so far, remembering all our moments like i could save this stop the car, my racing heart, my feet 'gainst the pavement things are different now yet i can't choke down how i want to react we're over, we're done, but you make me want to run back doing laundry from weeks before washing the same clothes i picked up off your floor when i leave so early like i do now all the memories coming flooding back, oh fuck it, i miss you but now i'm so far and remembering all our moments like i could save this stop the car, my speeding heart, my feet 'gainst the pavement things are different now yet i can't choke down how i want to react i know i can walk this off, but you make me want to run back
6.
now i know that i cannot sleep next to a heart that doesn't dream i wake in the morning with this pain in my throat all these words still sharp with hope what am i waiting for with this back and forth? can i let it all go tonight? antenna lights blinking off and on out your big open window i watch them all night long antenna lights top buildings so tall while your sleeping i watch them all night long i never held expectations signals dropped, lost in translation i always knew we were different but i cared just the same you taught me about leaving but i hoped you would stay is it worth this hurt? all the back and forth? off and on you and i like antenna lights blinking off and on out your big open window i watch them all night long antenna lights top buildings so tall while your sleeping i watch them all night long so close the curtains that we bought and i'll put my feelings away cause nothing's changed in the light of day antenna lights blinking off and on out your big open window i watch them all night long antenna lights where did we go wrong? while your sleeping i watch them all night long blinking off and on
