We don’t settle for cheap thrills Because our sights are set to kill Been through it all, fought til the end Putting it in with our best friends But somehow somewhere along the way We lost sight of what we always say “Keep your dreams in sight, and don’t fall short” Until a crash and a burn left us spiraling out I’ve had enough of the continuing noise We’re throwing away what could be our last choice You always said We don’t settle for cheap thrills But now we’ve got a role to fill When we thought we were off the ground That’s when things came crashing down And then somehow along the way We lost sight of what we always say “Keep your dreams in sight, and don’t fall short” This crash and a burn left us spiraling out

Its three in the morning and im still awake Staring at the cracks in the wall That made me feel so lost before I told myself I wouldn’t make these same mistakes again But here we are now so you can You can call me what you want But if you can see whats inside of me, Address me with some dignity You can say that its not me And even though I’m at my worst degree I’m still your same old baby Don’t use those words, youre scaring me, I gave you my word, and had no second thought I could die, the things I do that make you feel so distraught

Crash Test 03:52
I'm not a perfect man My imperfections and my flaws bubble up and overflow from the top I get by day to day Though I'm plagued with insecurities, they fill from head to toe, I'm giving up. A day in the life of me is more than I wanna see A crash test and I'm the dummy. Everyday is the same routine A sinking ship in a boring scene Captains orders: Save yourselves My chances go to hell Lost in the crashing waves Just when i think I'll hit the surface, I get pulled back down below Life's like a fucking game And if that's the case you say, then I'm falling far behind, pick me up.

I always look back to the time The time when I didn’t have anyone Waiting for her to come along And now here I am, writing this song You opened the door and then you opened my eyes Didn’t dismiss me like with other guys It sounds corny, and a little immature But this life is the one thing I’m sure It’s like every day is a reminder Of how I’ll always be with her And when nothing goes your way You know that you and me is one thing that’ll never change The times I’ve had with you were better than you know When spending the day with you was better than the show At the end of rough days, it puts it all into perspective We’ll shut the rest out, ‘cause this world can be aggressive. It’s like every single day is a reminder Of how I’ll always be with her And when nothing goes your way You know that you and me is one thing that’ll never change

Well the talk on the street Says you might go solo A good friend of mine Saw you leavin' by your back door I need to know, I need to know If you think you're gonna leave Then you better say so I need to know, I need to know 'Cause I don't know how long I can hold on If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on I need to know Who would've thought that You'd fall for his line All of a sudden It's me on the outside I need to know I need to know Baby, I need to know
