Of all the feelings in my heart Here’s one that’s causing me such pain Of all the feelings in my heart Here’s one that I’ll try to explain If I could spend my time with you Maybe my gut feeling is true Maybe this longing in my heart means something new Please don’t go away I’ve got so much to say I wanna be with you For now my heart is blue Please don’t think that I’m Just trying to waste your time These feelings in my heart It seems that they’ve become More like an art When I rolled out of bed today I thought that this might be the one Where all the things I wanna say Spill out into the summer sun If all these thoughts inside my head Didn’t keep filling me with dread Maybe today would be the one where it’s all said Please don’t go away I’ve got so much to say I wanna be with you For now my heart is blue Please don’t think that I’m Just trying to waste your time These feelings in my heart It seems that they’ve become More like an art Please don’t go away I’ve got so much to say I wanna be with you For now my heart is black and blue Please don’t think that I’m Just trying to waste your time These feelings in my heart It seems that they’ve become More like an art

Sitting here on Friday night I double check my phone I never got that call from you So I guess I'm goin' alone Don my leather jacket Grab my keys and my guitar Tie my Chucks and head out to my car Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll rockin' be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh Thinking of your pretty face The one that drove me insane I'm not sure just why I lodged Your memory into my brain Now that I'm on stage I'll turn my amp oh so loud I'll forget this ever brought me down Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll rockin' be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh oh Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll rockin' be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh Well I'll be rockin' without you Oh

Ghosted! 02:34
I’m in the middle of being ghosted And I just don’t know what to do But at the risk of getting roasted I’m holding out for you You're on your own That’s what they will say So don't call home Just let it go today I’ll find way to say that I don’t wanna give up all my hope when I’ve got so much left in me I’ve waited here for so long And I’m still holding strong I think I’ve learned some things I think I’ve grown this spring When everything is said and done, I’m never looking back I turned my head so many times my neck should have snapped But no regrets Not even a bit I’m on a quest To learn to deal with it I’ll find way to say that I don’t wanna give up all my hope when I’ve got so much left in me I’ve waited here for so long And I’m still holding strong I think I’ve learned some things I think I’ve grown this spring Woahhhh!!! I’ll find way to say that I don’t wanna give up all my hope when I’ve got so much left in me I’ve waited here for so long And I’m still holding strong I think I’ve learned some things I think I’ve grown this spring I think I've grown this spring I think I've grown this spring I think I've grown this spring

It might be easy when you're down (and out) To never stop and look around Holding onto hop for the things that have gone Rolled on Don't miss your appointment with the present Let your dark thoughts go Let the river flow Stand along the bank and watch Let them go but don't latch on Alhough we can't stop our minds We can let go of the bad times We can let them go I know it's easy when you're hurt To want to sit back and revert It feels like time holds you a prisoner But it isn't her That's going to save you from yourself Let your dark thoughts go Let the river flow Stand along the bank and watch Let them go but don't latch on Alhough we can't stop our minds We can let go of the bad times We can let them go Don't ever give up hope There will always be a way to cope Let your dark thoughts go Let the river flow Stand along the bank and watch Let them go but don't latch on Alhough we can't stop our minds We can let go of the bad times We can let go of the bad times We can let go of the bad times

Whaddya Say? 03:20
Well it's a brand new year My senior year of college Would you like to maybe give something a try? We can go down to that cheapo carnival That I pass by every day on my way to school Whaddya say? Whaddya say? We could go to Sound Exchange, then go to the Chinese buffet Whaddya say? Whaddya say? I've got a crush on you But I don't know what I should do What if a creepy old man comes around and he hits on you? ("Hey Ladies!") If he does, I swear I will take him aside I'll break the news to him that he's not your type of guy Whaddya say? Whaddya say? We'll stop by the coffee shop and I'll buy you your favorite latte Whaddya say? Whaddya say? Whaddya say? Whaddya say? Whaddya say? Whaddya say?
