VERSE Your heads always in the past I can't get away from the memories I want to last He makes you feel so good but hes bad for your health Im watching you become something other than yourself Ah! Ohhh Ohh Ohh Ohh Oh Ohhhhh VERSE You told me you want to cry To sit around and wait to die, the real tears had dried A long time ago, I know I won't be around To clean up again on the advice of a friend I'll walk it off CHORUS You already know You’ve got to let it go It’s not a mistake If you learn from your break You already know You’ve got to let it go It’s not a mistake If you learn from your break VERSE How long is this going to last Relic of the past, it goes on and on and on and on and on I want doesn't get, who do I think I am? Devoid of a plan I want it to stop CHORUS You already know You’ve got to let it go It’s not a mistake If you learn from your break Ohh la la la, Ohh la la la Ohh la la la, Ohh la la la Ohh la la la, Ohh la la la Ohh la la la, Ohh la la la Ohh la la la, Ohh la la la Ohh la la la, Ohh la la la Ohh la la la, Ohh la la la Oooh Ohhh

VERSE I called to tell you That we are through It's a stance I took at the party last week Everybody's changing I find it frustrating Listening to your love songs about how your life's peak Ohh oh oh I heard your last tune Are you guys playing soon? I guess it's pretty cool to think you are S#!T Everybody's changing I find it frustrating I got no money either, but come the shows free CHORUS I realise distance is nice The difference is clear It won't rain all year Flip of the coin Roll of the dice Equals everything nice VERSE Hey now, who's that dude? Step aside for Mr. Cool You are in the way of his lucky break I'm young dumb and grubby, why won't you love me? Keep up the act kid, it'll sell a T-shirt or three CHORUS I realise distance is nice The difference is clear It won't rain all year Flip of the coin Roll of the dice Equals everything nice

VERSE This feels so familiar (We've been here before) Each direction I turn there's a lesson to learn It's really nice to meet you (I must be moving on) Now if I choose to go will this door forever close CHORUS Oh it's no big deal, no great shakes I've learned from my mistakes Oh I know, it's been hard You can't reap from life's pleasure When you're full of half-measures Let's try to start over again Let's try to start over again VERSE I'd really like to meet her (She'd like to meet you too) But she's so far away, and there's nowhere to stay If love is not the answer (Then what else can be true) Although it's hard to explain I won't be seeing you again CHORUS Oh it's no big deal, no great shakes I've learned from my mistakes Oh I know, it's been hard You can't reap from life's pleasure When you're full of half-measures Let's try to start over again Let's try to start over again VERSE I'd really like to meet her (She'd like to meet you too) But she's so far away, and there's nowhere to stay If love is not the answer (Then what else can be true) Although it's hard to explain I won't be seeing you again

It's Not Me 04:00
VERSE Now you’re not around, My feet and phone weigh me down, The clocks on the wall, Don’t mean anything at all, And though it takes time, To ease a troubled mind, Flipping too and fro, I take comfort in one thing I know, CHORUS And I Know, It’s not me, but it is you, No matter what I do, I know, that it couldn’t be me, To make it through, It’s you VERSE We straddled the line, For what seemed the thousandth time, Searching high and low, There’s always a reason to come and go, I’m sitting here, You’re walking there, Feet caught on the stair, Oh and I know, Don’t turn around, Fix your step and walk up. CHORUS And I Know, It’s not me, but it is you, No matter what I do, I know, that it couldn’t be me, To make it through, It’s you

Come inside, and I'll do my best to make you feel at home Close the curtains, now we're enclosed in a little world of our own CHORUS And time is really on our side, So let's spend time, Searching VERSE My eyelids grow heavy and tears run down my face I'll allow the moonlight to penetrate my vision We don't need to talk about the stupid things I said It just takes up precious space in both our heads CHORUS And time is truly on our side, So let's spend time Searching for it OUTRO And these three words they don't mean that much to me I believe that, oh and these three words they don't mean that much to me I believe that, oh and these three words they don't mean that much to me I believe that, oh and these three words they don't mean that much to me

VERSE Sitting waiting for the world to turn, turn, turn Say a conversational line for what it's worth Ten more reasons to get out, oh silly old me Wouldn't know what to say if you asked anyway Little do I know, oh silly old me Was lost in the world and caught up in yesterday I don't understand where I've been nor where I am, All I know, is I love it so CHORUS I've done it again I've lost before I begin I'll see you my friend Oh I'll be there when the morning comes VERSE Oh the trip it was so nice, no I don't have to think twice I think I found what I was looking for Oh I think I've found what I was looking for CHORUS I've done it again I've lost before I begin I'll see you my friend Oh I'll be there when the morning comes
