The center of your eye Glowing in the sunlight Oh, I thought I had lost you I was wrong Turning up to fight Every single fucking time I've been fighting my own war All alone Roses in bloom Late afternoon Roses in bloom Over you Petals on the bed Falling around your head Thought it was a waste of flowers I was wrong Up and down the coast Still the one that stings the most I'm stuck licking my own wounds All alone Roses in bloom Late afternoon Roses in bloom Over you Roses in bloom Bouquet on my tomb Roses in bloom Over you Roses in bloom Late afternoon Roses in bloom Over you Roses in bloom Bouquet on my tomb Roses in bloom Over you Roses in bloom Wasted afternoon Roses in bloom Over you

All the Time 04:34
Seems not long ago I was just a child Falling through the world Trying to survive Learning lessons young Far before my time The pain just followed me around Never to subside Where, where does all the time go? When it flies by Bye bye Smoking while you sunbathe In the afternoon light Hanging out on the beach With no concept of time Meet me under the pier I'll show you what I'm made of Kissing behind your ear The way I know that you love Where, where does all the time go? When it flies by Bye bye No one tells you when you're young The more time time you live The faster it goes Where, where does all the time go? When it flies by Bye bye

California mornings where the traffic never stops California evenings when the sun never seems to drop I wish I could afford it like I used to do back then But California money's the kind you only make to spend California problems Bringing me to my knees California problems Well they're the only kind I need Rosarito weekend, it's the only kind I want Driving down the Baja coast with the few that I love the most I wish we could arrange it like we used to do back then A Rosarito weekend's the kind you never want to end California problems Burning me to the ground California problems Well they're the only kind I've found California problems Taking me to my grave California problems They're all I have to my name Just when I got out I'm going back I need it like I need a heart attack Just when I escaped from the abyss I can feel it pulling me back in California loving, it's kind you won't forget Cause California girls are the ones that you're gona live to regret California problems Burning me to the ground California problems Well they're the only kind I've found California problems Sending me to my grave California problems They're all I have to my name California problems They're getting the best of me California problems Falling into the sea

Falling 03:43
Thinking a lot about life these days And all of the loves I've made And what they've made of me Of me That's the funny thing about memories We only see what we want to believe I want you to believe in me In me Short of breath Breaking into a sweat Head to toe Elbow to elbow Cold and dizzy I must be Falling all over again Looking at you the other day I realized right away I still love you the same The same As I did back in the early years No, it hasn't diminished a bit And I doubt it ever will It will And I know you don't want to let me down Well it's impossible to do by now After everything we've been through Been through And if some day our love's ever lost I'll know that I was lucky to have paid the cost Of falling in love with you With you Short of breath Breaking into a sweat Head to toe Elbow to elbow Cold and dizzy I must be Falling all over again Oh I'm falling all over again

You've always looked at me the way I want to be seen Gazed upon by someone who cannot look away from me Lost in your hazel stare, I feel like I'm worth something I know that's kind of crude, but I'm just speaking honestly And when I'm looking back at you I do it the same way you do And I know that it won't last long I know how to say enough is enough I'll see you in the next life Life is a mystery I won't soon be solving Full of intricacies I often find appalling When I feel your eyes on me, the whole world just goes quiet I know that sounds cliche, but I enjoy the silence When I'm looking back at you I do it the same way you do And I know that it won't last long So I won't let my eyes wander off I couldn't even if I wanted to stop I'm learning how to say enough is enough I'll see you in the next life When I'm looking back at you I do it the same way you do And I know that it won't last long I don't know how to say enough is enough So I'll see you in the next life

So much wasted time down on my hands and knees Bending over backwards for someone I could never please Bringing out the worst in one another's what we did best I guess we can't control who we love or who loves us back But I know somewhere out there underneath the sun My true love heart awaits Lonely nights and cold long days I wouldn't let anyone in All that pain and suffering to be right back where I began So many sleepless nights and way too many good times Nursing all my problems with a bottle and a dime Blurring all the lines between what is wrong and what feels right Trying to erase all the heartache in my life But I know somewhere out there underneath the sun My true love heart awaits All those cold and lonely nights I wouldn't let anyone in But now you're underneath my skin My true love heart awaits

Numb in the afterglow Struggling to make sense of it all Gone before you even came Wondering how your life would've been Oh, how I would have loved to know Anything other than this feeling Lost in the undertow Suffering before you even began Sometimes we're better off dead I know you don't want to hear it Oh, what a lesson to learn Oh, I let it get to my head But I will never regret Oh, we did what needed to be done So, this is a goodbye to the son Cold in the morning light Stumbling over every word Crossing over the great divide Wondering why I even tried All alone in the parking lot Hoping she's gona be alright Driving home to an empty nest Swallowing what I have realized Sometimes we're better off dead I know you don't want to hear it Oh, when am I gona learn? Oh, I guess it went to my head But I will never regret Oh, we did what needed to be done So, this is a goodbye to the son Numb in the afterglow Struggling to make sense of it all

All the way from Hollywood Brought diamonds they brought pearls And everybody wants to get a look at the city girls Every word comes out their mouths with style But not with grace And you can see the emptiness if you're looking long enough At that pretty face Hollywood Once upon a time I fell in love with one of her Thinking I could keep up with all the prescriptions and the fur I would never take back any bit of what we did But she wanted a whole lot more Than I could ever work hard enough to give Hollywood All the way from Mexico Living fast and dying last But we know deep down inside that The good times like these are never meant to last So my Hollywood girl Left before the sun Oh, those Hollywood girls They're always on the run Oh, my Hollywood girl I hated to see you go Oh, those Hollywood girls They're out there all alone Hollywood

Radio 03:18
Every single day I think a little bit on what might have been My feelings run away I bury them deep down inside of me Where nobody will ever get to see And later on they haunt me in my dreams So I'm feeling like a radio that's going out of style And every time I turn around you're messing with the dial Searching for a station that's no longer broadcasting And I'm the only radio for miles Every single night The memories start rushing back to me I try to make it right But I realize that it won't ever be It's the only thing I'v got going for me Before I'm finally drifting off to sleep I'm feeling like a radio that's going out of style And every time I turn around you're messing with the dial Scrolling for your favorite song As if you'd ever find that one And you're the only reason that I'm feeling like a radio that's going out of style And every time I turn around you're messing with the dial Searching for a station that's no longer broadcasting And I'm the only radio for miles

The longer that I have you I just want you more Running my hands down you Down to the floor Kissing all your secrets The way that you need Leaving nothing untouched Nothing unseen Say that you will I want to hear it from your lips Wrong over right It doesn't matter in my eyes When you are mine Tasting all your sweetness And all your salt Locked inside together While the outside falls apart Giving you my best years And my worst days Wondering when you're leaving And so glad that you came Say that you might I want to see it in your eyes Wrong over right It doesn't matter here tonight Oh, say that you will I want to hear it from your lips Wrong over right It never matters in my eyes When you are mine
11.
I wake alone You're already gone, but you live here Stare at my phone As if it would make me feel less alone I walk downstairs My body creaking like the floor It never ends The slow decline towards the depths All of my friends have said goodbye I left them behind I told myself it would be just fine But the mirror doesn't lie Now I'm someone I don't recognize Wade through the days My mind is gone, my body's still here Wasting away The youth that I will never get back again All of the good times since gone by I left them behind Looking for a little piece of mind I can never seem to find I told myself it would be alright Well that was quite the lie All my old friends have said goodbye I left them behind Trying to find a better life But the mirror doesn't lie Now I'm someone I don't recognize
