I still remember each damn time, you kept me up late through the night, and every time, nothing changed at all, I see it now, it was all just fun and games, until you broke my heart then you went away, maybe now you'll see what you caused, Bang bang, here we are with each other, and your eyes got me running for some cover, I just thought we could start another chapter, in the this happy never after, I never saw you as a quitter, until you put me in your sights, and then you, pull the trigger, I told you once, I won't give up, I'll keep on trying till its good enough, and these little things won't leave my mouth, You said come play a song for me, cuz I sing about you constantly, no matter what I'll be around, once I was lost but now I'm found, Bang bang, here we are with each other, and your eyes got me running for some cover, I just thought we could start another chapter, in the this happy never after, I never saw you as a quitter, until you put me in your sights, and then you, pull the trigger, I feel the lightning strike, cut through me like a knife, and crush me to my knees, What happens to us now, can't help but wonder how, you're thinking about me, Bang bang, here we are with each other, and your eyes got me running for some cover, I just want us to start another chapter, in the this happy never after, I never saw you as a quitter, until you put me in your sights, and then you, pull the trigger,

Here and Now 02:32
We spend everyday, Wondering how, We could ever beat this moment, Right here and now, Feeling the summer sun, While going 95, Who would have ever thought, We could feel so alive, (So we drive, so we drive), Cuz you build me up, With every word that you say, And we fall deeper in love, With every picture we take, Then you smile at the ground, When I play you this song, You laugh in your head but you still sing along, I take you home too late, Cuz I can’t say goodbye, So hard to leave, When I know we’re running out of time, Sneaking in and out, Of your house at night, I’ll be right beside you when we turn out the lights, So hard to leave cuz I never wanna say goodbye, (So hard to leave, hard to leave, hard to leave), Cuz you build me up, With every word that you say, And we fall deeper in love, With every picture we take, Then you smile at the ground, When I play you this song, You laugh in your head but you still sing along, (Love, Love) Cuz you build me up, With every word that you say, And we fall deeper in love, With every picture we take, Then you smile at the ground, When I play you this song, You laugh in your head but you still sing along, We spend everyday, wondering how, we could ever beat this moment right here and now..

On Our Own 03:31
I remember late December, waking up to a call from you on my phone, living with a heart so tender, spent my cold nights watching movies all alone, Tuning into endless CDs, hearing the same words over and over again, I still remember all the stories, we shared with one another back when we were friends, And it's funny how the clock ticks faster and faster everyday, and lately you and I have drifted off the coasts of where we were yesterday, So I'll write you a melody, If you give me a beat, and I'll travel through time, so I could meet, you again and change everything, from the moment I saw you, you were all alone, best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, and on our own.. Seeing taillights in the rear view, slowing growing dim, just like these last few years have been, And I thought that things were over, but then I looked down and saw your face on my phone And it's funny how the clock ticks faster and faster everyday, but this time I'm not gonna lose you and I promise that I'll stay, So I'll write you a melody, If you give me a beat, and I'll travel through time, so I could meet, you again and change everything, from the moment I saw you, you were all alone, best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, and on our own.. Now I see everything little thing I didn't notice, every single chance you gave me and I missed it, that's all I can see right now, but then you take my hand and smile at me, and tell me that the past is just a memory, and everything will work itself out, somehow, So I'll write you a melody, If you give me a beat, and I'll travel through time, so I could meet, you again and change everything, from the moment I saw you, you were all alone, best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, and on our own, So I'll write you a melody, If you give me a beat, and I'll travel through time, so I could meet, you again and change everything, from the moment I saw you, you were all alone, best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, and on our own, So I'll write you a melody, If you give me a beat, and I finally realized, you're all that I need, everything has changed, since the moment I met you, we're not alone, best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, and on our own..

Billboards 03:21
Driving down the highway, to see the signs and flashing lights, that try to catch our attention, Taking our separate ways, pay no mind, to the ones that guide us astray, Keep on looking, for an answer, but don't worry, your futures right in front of you, The billboards are shining, the roads are aligning, where are we going, and how far till we break, the bigger the letters, the bigger the things that you do, we are young but we'll make it through, Exit 128, will decide our fate, and where we go forever, Take a hand and walk together, but keep a roof up for stormy weather, make sure never to look back, Keep on looking, for an answer, but don't worry, your futures right in front of you, The billboards are shining, the roads are aligning, where are we going, and how far till we break, the bigger the letters, the bigger the things that you do, we are young but we'll make it through, Keep on running, till our feet are weak, and the soles of our shoes, are torn apart, Can you see it, this world will never be the same, and this is not the end, The billboards are shining, the roads are aligning, where are we going, and how far till we break, the bigger the letters, the bigger the things that you do, we are young but we'll make it through, The billboards are shining, the roads are aligning (we'll make it through), where are we going, and how far till we break (we'll make it through), the bigger the letters (we'll make it through), the bigger the things that you do, we are young but we'll make it through (but we'll make it through), The billboards are shining, the roads are aligning (we'll make it through), where are we going, and how far till we break (but we'll make it through), the bigger the letters (we'll make it through), the bigger the things that you do, we are young but we'll make it through (oh we'll make it through),

Bonus Track 04:13
I'll write you a letter, send it to your door, signed by a name I've never used before, I hope you're patient, cuz somewhere, in translation, I can't, find the words I mean to say, But I know one of these days, we'll come together face to face, and girl this is what I'll say, Hey I noticed you from across the room, would you mind at all if I talked to you, I can picture us, and we seem pretty cool, I could take you out, to different places and, laugh when you make silly faces, oh I just know whenever you're around, the world sounds, Shining lights, on a Friday night, when I take you to my favorite place in town, Oh I know you're waiting, for me, to make the move now I see, it was always meant to be, But I know one of these days, we'll come together face to face, and girl this is what I'll say, Hey I noticed you from across the room, would you mind at all if I talked to you, I can picture us, and we seem pretty cool, I could take you out, to different places and, laugh when you make silly faces, oh I just know whenever you're around, the world sounds, Billy: Hey I noticed you from... Chris: Billy what are you doing? There's a dramatic pause.. Billy: I know I wrote the song, shut up Chris! Chris: That was mean.. Billy: I'm sorry.. 1, 2, 1, 2 WOOOOO Hey I noticed you from across the room, would you mind at all if I talked to you, I can picture us, and we seem pretty cool, I could take you out, to different places and, laugh when you make silly faces, oh I just know whenever you're around, the world sounds,
