    "Just Give It Time"

    Still waters, heavy hearts
    Plans we make all fall apart
    Disillusioned and lost in the gray
    How can we fix the heart when it breaks?
    Don't know how much more you can take

    Chorus:
    Just give it time
    It's gonna get better
    Now is not forever at all
    Just give it time
    Everything changes
    Tomorrow comes today will be gone
    Everything's gonna be fine
    Just give it time, give it time

    Quiet landslide when nobody knows
    Regretted decisions that nobody chose
    Under water and sinking fast
    No way out, no way to get back
    What might have been is lost in the past

    [Chorus]

    When the world you're in is still again
    And it all fades out
    You've reached the end, begin again now

    [Chorus]

    [2x]
    Everything's gonna be alright
    Everything's gonna be alright
    Just give it time

    "Human"

    Can you tell me how we got in this situation
    I can't seem to get you off my mind
    All these ups and downs they
    They trip up our good intentions
    Nobody said this was an easy ride

    After all, we're only human
    Always fighting what we're feeling
    Hurt instead of healing
    After all we're only human
    Is there any other reason
    Why we stay instead of leaving
    After all

    Can we get back to the point in this conversation
    Where we saw things through each other's eyes
    Cause now all I see is ruin and devastation
    We all need some place we can hide inside

    After all, we're only human
    Always fighting what we're feeling
    Hurt instead of healing
    After all we're only human
    Is there any other reason
    Why we stay instead of leaving

    I'm smart enough to know that life goes by
    And it leaves a trail of broken hearts behind
    If you feel I'm letting go, just give me time
    I'll come running to your side
    Can you tell me how we got into this situation
    I can't seem to get you off my mind

    After all, we're only human
    Always fighting what we're feeling
    Hurt instead of healing
    After all we're only human
    Is there any other human [2x]

    "Praying to the Wrong god"

    She don't know you but she swear she knows your type
    Got a mouth full of opinions and most are wrong
    But they all sound right
    And the ring around her finger is only there for make you
    Wish you were the one for her

    So I'm praying to keep me from breaking
    From being another loser helpless at her side
    And it's crazy, it's like no one can save me this time
    She's got me praying to the wrong god every night
    Praying to the wrong god every night

    There's a reason no one knows her name
    If she don't tell you then she never has to change it
    She's allergic to "I Love Yous" and staying in one place
    For too long
    If you blink she's gone

    So I'm praying to keep me from breaking
    From being another loser helpless at her side
    And it's crazy, it's like no one can save me this time
    She's got me praying to the wrong god every night
    Praying to the wrong god every night

    Make her make me mean more
    Or make her go away
    Make her make me mean more
    Or make her go away

    I'm praying to keep me from breaking
    From being another loser helpless at her side
    And it's crazy, like no one can save me this time
    She's got me praying to the wrong god every night
    Praying to the wrong god every night
    She's got me praying to the wrong god every night...
    (Every night)

    "Perfect"

    I used to stare up into the sky,
    and fill the space around with my whys
    but now I've got it all figured out,
    and I'm embarrassed that it took me till now,

    The simple answers in her replies
    Unlock the universe with her eyes,
    She rips apart my world with her moves,
    oh while stealing all the light in the room

    (chorus)
    And I found someone to walk me through this life
    The brightest sun has opened up my eyes
    Tonight I need exactly who she is
    We're going to be perfect

    She can teach a melody to the birds,
    and problem solving without a word
    She can tell the richest man how to need,
    Oh right after telling him about me

    (Chorus)
    And I found someone to walk me through this life
    the brightest sun has opened up my eyes
    Tonight I need exactly who she is
    We're going to be perfect

    (Bridge)
    and in my life,
    if I can have one thing I don't deserve
    then I have never wanted anybody else but you

    She can do no wrong in my mind,
    so I take a seat while she takes her time,
    'cause I am here forever I say,
    so lock me up and throw the keys away

    (Chorus)
    'cause I found someone to walk me through this life
    the brightest sun has opened up my eyes
    tonight I need exactly who she is
    we're going to be perfect
    perfect

    "Beautiful Disaster"

    She loves her momma's lemonade
    Hates the sounds that goodbyes make
    She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
    She swears there's no difference between the lies and compliments
    It's all the same if everybody leaves her

    And all the magazines tells her she's not good enough
    The pictures that she sees makes her cry

    She would change everything, everything, just ask her
    Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
    She just needs someone to take her home

    She's giving boys what they want
    Trying to act so nonchalant
    Afraid to see that she's lost her direction
    She never stays the same for long
    Assuming that she'll get it wrong
    Perfect only in her imperfection

    She's not a drama queen
    She doesn't wanna feel this way
    Only 17 and tired, yeah

    She would change everything for happy ever after
    Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
    She just needs someone to take her home

    She's just the way she is
    But no one's told her that's okay

    She would change everything, everything, just ask her
    Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster

    She would change everything for happy ever after
    Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
    She just needs someone to take her home
    She just needs someone to take her home

    "Until You Got Love"

    fourth floor,
    lonely white leader,
    sits there staring at the screen,
    types in
    can anybody tell me what it all means,
    tick-tock waitin' for an answer
    it's no use and all at once to her suprise,
    she gets one reply,

    until you got love,
    you know you got nothin',
    your missin that somethin thats gonna set you free,
    until you got love,
    you'll always be running,
    love is that one thing that everybody needs,

    sunday no one's at the office,
    just waitin at his fathers desk,
    workin' trying to fill the shoes that his dad left
    'dear son' he finds in a letter: 'please try your best to learn from my mistakes, you know work can wait', until you got love,
    you know you got nothin',
    your missin that somethin thats gonna set you free,
    until you got love,
    you'll always be running,
    love is that one thing that everybody needs,

    there's nothing cool in this room,
    nothing new in what im sayin,
    but sometimes the truth is what it is,
    so why should i apologize for lookin for a better way to live,
    way to live

    (x2) until you got love,
    you know you got nothin',
    your missin that somethin thats gonna set you free,
    until you got love,
    you'll always be running,
    love is that one thing that everybody needs
