Homebound 03:55
It's just a quest, don't worry at all Although there's unrest, I will not fall I'm simply following the fates call. But What can it be? What's this feeling? I've never felt this, it's almost scary I don't know what all of this could mean. Oh no, oh no Say it ain't so, ain't so I'm in love, oh no - oh no Oh, woah Oh no, oh no I can't let go, let go Just so you know, you know I fell like woah I found true love heading homebound I found true love heading home heading home oh This is so wrong, but maybe it's right It took me so long, but I've realized That maybe I should think with my own mind If I stand up and open my eyes Maybe I'll wind up changing my life I never knew I had been telling lies I said I loved her We all know better My feelings were unsure But I don't want to hurt her I don't love him That lie's wearing thin My heart's starting to win I feel love then begin Oh no, oh no Say it ain't so, ain't so I'm in love, oh no - oh no Oh, woah Oh no, oh no Say it ain't so, ain't so I'm in love, oh no - oh no Oh, woah Oh no, oh no I can't let go, let go Just so you know, you know I fell like woah.

Break 04:56
I should've known, I should've said something. It's too late and we've begun tearing Into memories we never made. It's time I go. I see we're on the brink. A low blow, but it's time we think About why we cannot stay. I guess you see what's been happening Yet you stand and look you're still breathing Even when we're falling apart. And I believe what I'm saying now It's not deceit. But I think we understand how We're flawed from the start. We spent this time together Hoping that things would change. Are hearts meant for forever? Or is it time we break? We waste our time together Hoping our love had grown. I guess it's now or never, Your heart's just not my home. The worst part is that I'm heartbroken It's so hard. Nothing can be spoken. I know nothing now can change your mind. And that's alright, just give me alone time I won't fight. How you feel's not a crime And this jealousy's all mine. It's just the start of something that's brand new A broken heart, But what's a girl to do? It hurts but I'll find someone else, too. When I come back we can still be friends We'll smile and laugh, jealousy will not win! Just friends, me and you. We spent this time together Hoping that things would change. Are hearts meant for forever? Or is it time we break? We waste our time together Hoping our love had grown. I guess it's now or never, Your heart's just not my home. I'm sorry that I broke your heart And I'm sorry that we broke apart And I'm so sorry that we don't belong And I just feel like I lead you on... Please don't feel this way for what you had done. I blame you now but I know that's wrong. Your heart will choose, and you can't just fight that. I'll still hold all the memories we had. I guess that it's time we broke up; One day I hope that you find true love. One day both of us will look back and laugh At the love we never really had. And well, I guess that it's time we broke up; One day I hope that you find true love. One day both of us will look back and laugh At the love we never really had. We spent this time together Hoping that things would change Are hearts meant for forever Or is it time we break? We spent this time together Hoping that things would change. Are hearts meant for forever Or is it time we break? We waste our time together Hoping our love had grown. I guess it's now or never, Your heart's just not my home.

Go 05:16
(I'll go...) (I'll do just as he wants me to...) Maybe I'm not worried at all Though there's a good chance that I'd fall. Surely I'm not worried at all. Convince myself it'll always be this way. I'm pretending the best I can, Faking the way I am. I'm hiding the best that I can. They're figuring it out. What do I say? I'm afraid who can tell. Who knows me too well? Is it as clear as a bell? Does he know it well? Is it that hard to hide? I can say that I've tried. I've been trying to get by But I don't like to lie. I'll do just what he wants me to: I'll go. I'll go. You've got better things to do I know, I know. He doesn't have to be paranoid I know that you're his boy. I'll do just what he wants me to: I'll go. I'll go. Why doesn't this feel like home? Haven't felt like this in so long. Am I really that lost on my own? Just forget it. It's normal for me. I am standing on my toes Worried I'll sing the wrong note. Carefully, I stand on my toes. This is too much can't you see? Is this jealousy? Can you forgive me? What do you see? Will you be mad at me? I'll take a step back. I just need to relax. I wont overreact For your love that I lack. I'm not worried and I'm sure that you're happy now. I try not to get involved, but I don't know how To keep myself back from you, like a best friend should. I can't keep the distance like I know that I should. Maybe it'd be easier for me to turn away And to give you a cold shoulder and lead you astray. "I just want you to live a better life," I'll say. "Don't you worry about me, I'll be okay." I'll do just what he wants me to: I'll go. I'll go. You've got better things to do I know, I know. He doesn't have to be paranoid I know that you're his boy. I'll do just what he wants me to: I'll go. I'll go.

40 06:00
How am I supposed to trust you when I can't trust myself? How dare I love you when I have somebody else? Maybe when you got close I should've got up and turned away But I just can't do that, it's addicting when you start to act this way. I listen to your heartbeat when we are getting close, It's beating fast now, but it's the sound that I love the most. My face turns beet red, my smile is so sore, But gods, I love this moment and I'd love even more. Your calloused hand desperately caressing my face like this: It's so warm, so familiar, it's something I'd hate to miss. It's thoughts like these I should be running -- running from, But I fear that if I lost these my heart would go numb. Feel the scars that brisk on both of our -- our bodies And I swear I can see what you think. Closer still to the person that I -- I want to be And closer to the fleeting feelings surrounding me. Why doesn't this happen when I'm with him? When I'm around you I can breathe again. Why is it getting harder to see you as a friend? It's almost as if I had always known. What would it cost to leave it alone? When he's gone, you make this place feel like home.

Fix 04:52
Changing Me? Do you really mean that honestly? Think I need to act differently? Is that why you went out with me? It's disgusting How you think that I need fixing, That I need lead by hand holding. How is this thing helping me? You're not a solace. You think that you've got this, But It's clear that death and the sun don't mix Do you really think there's something I need to "fix"? Believe me, I'll take back everything. This was not what it seemed. It became so damaging. You're not a solace. You think that you've got this. I wish I could take back that kiss. I'm not here to be someone you fix. In the end you were no home. I hope you learn to be alone! You can't just change the person I am. I don't need "fixed." Nor Solace.

Sorry 05:11
Did I have to say that? Why did I speak at all? My jealousy rose and I watched our friendship fall. I know it's all my fault, what I said just wasn't true. I want to escape, but I want to apologize to you. And now you're walking away Please don't go! Please come back! Please, listen I can explain: Everything! Can I say sorry? I never ever meant to hurt you, Believe me. I made assumptions that just weren't true, Forgive me. You can do anything you want to Without me. But I just can't do this without you. I'm sorry. I can't blame you for ignoring, I'd ignore myself as well. I don't know what came over me, I can't believe what I yelled I won't complain if you never want to speak to me again. I just wanted you back home since you've become my closest friend. But now I've ruined it all. You can go! I get it! You can let go of me! But I can explain Everything! Can I say sorry? Is it too late for me to say: "I never ever meant to hurt you, Believe me I made assumptions that just weren't true. Forgive me." My tears fall gently I'm trying to breathe Silently. What is happening I can't believe I'm breaking. You can do anything you want to Without me. But I just can't do this without you ... I'm sorry.

Happiness 04:48
Clearly now I can feel the flight of Butterflies that keep flying around with no regrets. I'm trying so hard just to hold them back. Don't know why but they won't calm down now They flutter and make me feel these things I've never felt. There's new emotions I don't know too well. I can't tell: Is this feeling normal? Because it's always there when it's only me and you. I just noticed it out of the blue. I confess: it makes me feel alive There's nothing better than feeling all these butterflies I want them to grow and multiply. Finally I know what it feels like to hold My heart upon my sleeve as I begin to lull. And I take another breath as my head's warmed by your chest And I start to lose track of everything that's said. Then with no more fear I say all that I hold dear. I confess what's in my heart, mumbling so you can't hear "I want this for just one day, I feel better when you stay." If you ask what makes me happy, I know the answer but I won't say Happy? You know what makes me happy? It's the times that seem to always speed on by. I'll tell you what makes me happy: You're the one who makes me happy. And most of all when you're beside me and I hear: Your heartbeat. Can't you see everything is alright? Just as long as I stay in line and always hold back But I think both of us are losing tact. That's just fine; I like it better that way. It's so safe when we ease up on our professional face. It puts us in a home-like place. Happy? You know what makes me happy? It's the times that seem to always speed on by. I'll tell you what makes me happy: You're the one who makes me happy. And most of all when you're beside me and I hear: Your heartbeat.

Want 04:05
I'm disgusting, no one would want me; This is honesty. I might as well forget fantasies for they mean nothing. It's a waste of my time. It's a waste of my breath. I should stop looking ahead. But I can't stop thinking about being so lonely And how I'll never be loved While everyone else is loved! Everyone else has got someone to call their home. I know they'll leave me here when they all have grown. There will never be a time when I am not alone. I want someone to love someone to call my own. And sure I've got friends but just how long will I belong? 'Cause the day will come and they'll be gone. Not that that's wrong. But I have to admit and come to terms with The fact that all my friends will have families and then I will be a second thought; the connection will be lost. Even you, who I love the most, will fall in love one day, and so...! Everyone else has got someone to call their home. I know they'll leave me here when they all have grown. There will never be a time when I am not alone. I want someone to love someone to call my own. Don't tell me you really think You will be alone like me. We both know that it's not true Everybody else wants you! And most of all, I do too! I want so bad to be with you! But we have to stay just friends. Don't pity me, but it hurts when... Everyone else has got someone to call their home. I know they'll leave me here when they all have grown. There will never be a time when I am not alone. I want someone to love someone to call my own.

Arrow 05:49
He tells me: "This is what you wanted A solace from all your misery. I'll shoot you and you'll see: As you forget all of your feelings." Is that it? Is that the solution to everything? Would it even make me happy? Or would it cause him more suffering? Crumbling. Is this what I need? A way to take this curse from me? I'd make a choice but you see Is that how I want this to be? Before me stands a god of love who doesn't understand a thing Or how much he means to me. He's starting to mean everything. My existence could be fading but I'd take a leap of faith Just for me to take a bullet so he'd remain safe. But I won't take an arrow like this Not if I can do something about it. Even if I am falling and I know I'd die I wouldn't regret this choice for as long as I'm alive. I would rather remain cursed than to leave this love behind! I reject, refuse, decline. Understand, Cupid: No matter what happens here I accept the pain and ignore my fear I've found a home here. I can't risk losing everything that I've worked for. As I break this arrow in two, Just know this is no betrayal toward you But this is what I must do. My existence could be fading but I'd take a leap of faith Just for me to take a bullet so he'd remain safe. But I won't take an arrow like this Not if I can do something about it. Even if I am falling and I know I'd die I wouldn't regret this choice for as long as I'm alive. I would rather remain cursed than to leave this love behind.

Build 04:28
If we've made it past this part And I took a step to cross the line. One inch closer to your heart, One more foot until you're mine. It's now clear as a bell And I'm no longer on my toes. If it's with you, I'll tell Though I'm sure everyone knows. This is my one chance so here it goes: We've been together through highs and lows. Took on our demons, made them retreat. There's just one thing I've been thinking: Will you go out with me? Everything could change in an instant But I know you'll never leave me alone. Finally I can close this distance. This foundation could become our home. Throughout all these things I've done I never could admit Just how much I wanted to say these six words with confidence. A small phrase so simple, but so powerful it seems. These walls we built with doors, we could build a roof with ease. All I need to do is ask this question out loud. A question I've wanted to ask since we were homebound. It could set down the floors and build up stories to explore One bedroom for both of us but with an open door. This is my one chance so here it goes: We've been together through highs and lows. There's no other thing, no other meaning. Let me lay out these long had feelings: Will you go out with me?

Kiss 04:55
Take a look at that: this is real! He likes me back, feels everything I feel! Light headed, my heart's lifting, Dream studded, almost like a fantasy! Closer than we were before, A step toward something more. We're pulled close, a heart attack! I'm gifted this and I won't give it back! Finally I'm given a chance! I'll be yours if you'll be mine! Carress my cheek, a loving glance I've waited for a long time. We're so close and finally it starts, I'll close my eyes as you close yours. An inch away; tied are two hearts. It felt like "Finally!" as our feelings pour. This is what I want. This time I won't run. No matter what happens next I know what I've begun. Could this become home? I'm not sure I know. But whatever happens next I just want you to know: This has been building in me for as long as I can tell. I've been holding this so long my heart might melt. Father look in the skies, don't you think he's fine? Hades, is it okay if he's mine? I know he's thinking: "This has been burning in me for as long as I can tell. I'm not sure what moment was it when I finally fell. Father look down below, I'll protect him when life's hell. Jupiter, can you please wish me well?" Father please wish me well. I ask father please wish me well. Is this home? Kiss me! Kiss me! I've been waiting for this. Kiss me! Kiss me! Gods, please kiss me. Kiss me! Kiss me! We've been waiting for this. Gods, please kiss me! Kiss me, please! This has been building in me for as long as I can tell. I've been holding this so long my heart might melt. Father look in the skies, don't you think he's fine? Hades, is it okay if he's mine? I know he's thinking: "This has been burning in me for as long as I can tell. I'm not sure what moment was it when I finally fell. Father look, down below, I'll protect him when life's hell. Jupiter, can you please wish me well?"

Cosmogyral 07:04
Are these stars surrounding Or is that just in your eyes? I don't know what these moments will bring But a stronger knot this ties. Bring forth this stronger tide And make sure both of us are alone. For once I don't have to hide As you and I have become one home. We have built ourselves something great! Please, let me do this with you. Don't worry about me, I'm not afraid As long as this is what you want to do. And as we breakdown every wall We create something that means it all. Somewhere where we both belong. We've built something to remain strong! And as we break down every wall We create something that means it all. I feel like I'm bound to you And you're bound to me too. "The word "home" is a noun: a person, place, or thing. And to their surprise, they found that "home" is defined not by darkness, solitude, and cold, but by sunshine, company, and warmth."
