1. DEADLINES

I saw just what it does
When it's too hard for you to face it
Still pushing you to make it
It's been no new news to me
'Cause it's all been done before
Four years and we're still counting down
Until all your precious time is wasted
It's been nothing new to me (to me, to me)

We still haven't grown accustomed to the sound
As they all begin to drown you out
It's all been done before

When your deadlines become my days and nights
I'll take all your favorite lines
(When you needed it the most)
As your deadlines end tonight

And you were startled by the fact
That you c-could've had it better off by now
It's not over until the quiet all come down
Oh yes, maybe it's too plain
To stand on solid ground
It got old, but you can't blame it all on me

We still haven't grown accustomed to the sound
As they all begin to drown you out
It's all been done before

When your deadlines become my days and nights
I'll take all your favorite lines
(When you needed it the most)
Please don't give up on
When your deadlines become my days and nights
I'll take all your favorite lines
(When you needed it the most)
As your deadlines end tonight

I saw just what it does
When it's too hard for you to face it
Still pushing you to make it
It's been nothing new to me (to me, to me)

We still haven't grown accustomed to the sound
As they all begin to drown you out
It's all been done before

When your deadlines become my days and nights
I'll take all your favorite lines
(When you needed it the most)
As your deadlines end tonight
(As your deadlines end tonight)
All your favorite lines
(When you needed it the most)
As your deadlines end tonight


2. PAGES

The turns you had to take still keep you awake
Down come the walls where you once stood
From constant changes you have made
You'll keep inside 'til you have a say

We change as we get older
We're not to stay
The days we walked are over

Now we just drive away
From everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
You turn the pages 'til you have no more plans

The only time you had to think of all the things involved
Came when you were least expecting
And now it's up to us to replace it
To tell us when ages have made a difference
Cause changes tell just who we are

We change as we get older
We're not to stay
The days we walked are over

Now we just drive away
From everything I know
You're counting days on the back of your hands
You turn the pages 'til you have no more plans

Now we're just miles away
From all that we could be
You're counting days on the back of your hands
We turn the pages

Remember the days you've counted won't be forgotten
I hope you won't leave yourself out
When we turn the pages


3. WAITING

We're staring down constantly
With palms open and resting feet
Glancing up once and a while
To find some sense of reconcile

Open our eyes to see what's left
Looking for just one sign of breath
As soon as we think its okay
We'll head our separate ways

What are we waiting for
There's knocking at our door

Slowly but surely I'm turning this around
But there is something that I haven't found
Sooner or later you will be finding out
Sitting there waiting isn't so safe and sound

There's something that's been calling me
I feel that I'm still incomplete
Without knowing what I expect
There's no way that I can perfect

We hesitate with every step
Just one step closer to our death
We're anxious just to take a glance
This could be our last chance

What are we waiting for
There's knocking at our door

Sitting there waiting isn't so safe and sound


4. REMEMBER WHEN (USED TO BE USED TO IT)

Your initial reply hit me undercover
When I lost my head to it
It was out of its time, it was undiscovered
As I caught my breath again
You were running out of lies to keep me under
Afraid of your back hands (?)
So to speak, you had me shaking at the knees

But I don't know the way out of this mess
No, I don't know the way out of this mess
And if you would've seen me at my best
Would it have changed anything at all?

Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this

The door was always open
But still not nearly enough to let me in
and my eyes are wide awake,
And i can see you clearly, but you don't stand out one bit.
I was always loud enough just for you to hear me
You never caught the wind
Now watch me break
Breakdown this time, this time again

But I don't know the way out of this mess
No, I don't know the way out of this mess
And if you would've seen me at my best
Would it have changed anything at all?

Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
(When times were better, when times were better than this [x2])

And I'm still waiting for a sign
Or just a win-win situation
Can I hear it one more time?
Without the sound of devastation setting in

Your initial reply hit me undercover
When I lost my head to it
It was out of its time, it was undiscovered
When you let me in
Oh, won't you let me in?

Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this

Do you remember, remember when?
Do you remember, remember when?
We never had to remember when times were better
When times were better than this
(When times were better, when times were better than this [x2])


5. NO MORE ROOM TO BREATHE

You've got to know by now
that stepping in and out won't bring you down
until you make it definite
6:15 sacrifice your rest
I thought you said you're different?
from those who believe in it
they believe (in Universities)

Oh, not another mind made up
for doing nothing more than all you see
they've got no more room to breathe
until we just get them to

Say we'll make them say
that we've been down and out all day
if your education brings you home
why are you still away?

So give it up if you're not still trying to
hold it up in your four-time windowed room
I've got the feeling that you're not
using up all of your best bets
on plans that you still don't have set
for those who believe in it
they believe...
until we just get them to

Say we'll make them say
that we've been down and out all day
if your education brings you home
why are you still away?

See we'll make them see
that we've got no more room to breathe
if your education brings you home
why are you still away?

I gave it all the thought you said you needed
but the minutes got repeated for too long
far too long
Can you save us all from the thought you said you needed
'cause i feel like i've competed for too long
far too long

We've got no more room to breathe
until we just get them to see
We've got no more room to breathe
until we just get them to

Say we'll make them say
that we've been down and out all day
if your education brings you home
why are you still away?

See we'll make them see
that we've got no more room to breathe
if your education brings you home
why are you still away


6. ADDICTION AND HER NAME

You try to move on but still you're perfecting failure
There's always something in your way

Was it the guilt in you that pushed me to improve?
I know you've always had the choice to hear
You gave it all up when you broke the thought
Of keeping away the things you bought
When you took common sense so serious

This time around you're coming closer
You're never coming back until you know it's over
Won't you take it away from me?
Just take it all
Cause you never know you're leaving until it's over

And it's not that it's too hard to try to turn your eyes and drive the pain away
It's how much easier it is to let it stay
Once again it's on the tip my tongue
"Don't you wish it was done?"
I'm afraid we're only at the start
You knew that this is how things are, oh yeah

This time around you're coming closer
You're never coming back until you know it's over
Won't you take it away from me?
Just take it all
Cause you never know you're leaving until it's over

There's always something in your way
There's always something in your way

This time around you're closer to me
And now you're coming back to the fact that it's all over
Won't you take it away from me?
Just take it all
Cause you never know you're leaving, oh no you're leaving


7. TAKING CHANCES

I knew it would be so simple
To never count the things you had
You traded all your memories to
Appreciate it all without your mind just feeling trapped

I hope it's not the last

Don't take your chances
With circumstances
I know you're better than that

The thought of being so alone
Takes away from what you swore you could've known
I can't hear you speaking
I'm still not competing with you

Oh, how I hope you don't

Take your chances
With circumstances
I know you're better than that
I thought you would take advantage
I know you're much better than that

So keep your mind from feeling trapped

I hope it's not the last
