Compass

|
verse 1:
breathe in and breathe out
tell me what is causing this doubt
in your head
converse, coincide
share my intrigue, it's so hard to hide
cheeks are red
--
chorus:
if i were a compass i'd guide your heart home
your legs must be tired from wandering the great unknown
if i were a compass i'd point straight and true
to guide my weary soul that's been wandering right to you
--
verse 2:
with me you get what you get
that includes all the years of baggage
i've acquired
retreat, coagulate
your fragile heart wasn't meant to break
like it has every time
--
bridge:
finally for once
i'm thankful for all the pain
it has shaped me to what
i could be to you someday
i don't have all the answers
so i won't even try
to explain these feelings
i'm having on the inside
i'm having on the inside
feeling for you on the inside

verse 1:
it's getting to the point
i wanna completely open up
and tell you exactly how i feel
get to the point
with someone like you by my side
i know i'll be better off in this life
–
chorus:
say this is forever
that it's not just whatever
say i'm yours
and you are mine
that's it's for
our lifetimes
–
verse 2:
there will come a day
if you proceed to vacillate
i'll vacate this pursuit space
but there could come a day
feelings requited draw near
if you forget your fears

Princess Song
05:12
|
|||
|
verse 1:
stilletos on your feet
the pavement underneath
hello new york
nothing here has changed
that old familiar pain
lodged in your throat
–
pre-chorus:
though years have passed
the memories last
will they ever fade away
yesterday
a flower bouquet
a passionate kiss stolen in the rain
–
chorus:
well i don't plan on leaving
if you'll keep my by your side
no matter what you've been through
no more lonely nights
i just want to love you like nobody has before
i just want to love you
love you
–
verse 2:
such a pretty face
green irises in place
lost in your eyes
heart beats through my chest
you take away my breath
i'm falling for you
–
bridge:
we can take it slow
we can take it slow
that's alright by me
we can take it slow

I'm The Problem
03:00
|
|||
|
verse 1:
yesterday
you ran away
and rightly so
afraid i might have to let you go
–
verse 2:
mountaineer
that's what you've become, my dear
i was unaware
i was the one that sent you there
–
chorus:
spent so much time trying to fix you
not enough time listening to you
i'm so quick to point the finger
spent all my time solving
when all along, it was me that was the problem
–
verse 3:
i apologize
see the sincerity in my eyes
i pushed too much
i know i might have screwed this up

Never Forget
04:27
|
|||
|
build up walls to protect
the pain from coming back
cause you never forget
never forget
the wounds that were made
the scars that remain
cause you never forget
never forget

Island Girl
04:12
|
|||
|
verse 1:
was it because i always loved to be near you
the way loved to always be close by your side
was it the way i always tried to encourage
to be someone in which you could confide
–
pre-chorus:
you should have seen it in my eyes
i was sincere
look into my eyes
i am sincere
–
chorus:
i'll see you when i do, my island girl
enjoy your many travels in this world
i gave all that i had to give
even though it was short lived
i don't have any regrets at all
–
verse 2:
i often wonder if it's from
all the pain that you've been through
you built up walls to protect yourself
i couldn't break through
–
bridge:
i never really understood why you ran away
but i said i'd be in your corner
so that is where i stayed
promised i'd never throw you overboard
i follow through with what i say
even when you ran away
