Do you remember when we drove down to Seattle?
You asked me what it was about yourself
We didn't know it yet but we were falling out
Some kind of distance that we didn't see somehow
And you let it happen
I've been spending too much time
Analyzing every word that you had said
I've been looking for something
Justifying how I feel
My ears were ringing by the time we reached the border
Could you feel the pressure?
Couldn't keep it to yourself
Is this what you had in mind?
Burn your bridges down
I've been spending too much time
Analyzing every word that you had said
I've been looking for something
Justifying how I feel
Maybe I'm just being bitter
I don't mind that you're not here
And if I'm really being honest...

Please forgive me
For I'm not feeling quite at home
Flip the system
Throw it out
It's time you walked out on your own
Take all that you can from me
Shades of black and white
Colours mixed for all these years
Paint the canvas
Watch it dry
White space to hide all of your fears
Take all that you can from me
Take all that you
Now I see it
And I can feel it in my bones
Come along with me
Bottle's emptied out
Another Weekday night at home
Time is wasted
So are you
It's time you walked out on your own
Take all that you can from me
Take all that you
Take all that you can from me
Shake the shackles
It's all you want to be

by Brayson Wong
You never took the time to say it
It was the tongue between your teeth
But when you spoke your words were naked
You always found it hard to breathe
There was a moment there where I had fallen so hard for you
It was the worst when it was over
Could never settle for a loss
And I had wondered what you couldn't say to me

Livewire

by Royal Oak
She's a livewire
She's a little thing you can't recall
Does it mean nothing to you?
She's a white liar
She's a sharp knife, cuts through it all
If you only knew
It was love, it was real, it was not enough
Couldn't help but to find yourself caught up
Bit more than you could chew
But the things you say wouldn't matter anyway
She left that boy when we were seventeen
So wait, if I told you things would never really work out fine
Would you ever see the way that it would fall in line
And I know it hurts to watch it all crash at once
Well it's nothing to me
Didn't you notice?
Did you feel the tension in the air
When she walked into the room
What you didn't say wouldn't matter anyway
She sits and stares alone at twenty three

by Austin Ledyard
Our life was simple
My life was yours
We'd go down the back street
To fight our little wars
But you took your first steps
You walked out the door
Suddenly we realized
We're not kids anymore
Under a morning sky
Your mind begins to wonder
Time has gone and passed you by
We're not getting any younger
You know I miss you
And I miss the memories
Back when the days were longer
And the wars were short and sweet
Our lives are different
Then what they used to be
It wasn't a part of the plan
And I'm sorry
Under a morning sky
Your mind begins to wonder
Time has gone and passed you by
We're not getting any younger

Been There

by Austin Ledyard
Head back to the glory days
Back when it was you and you alone
Did your love lead you astray?
Was it there for you and yours to own?
Keep it moving
Keep running through your bones
Keep it moving
Keep running through your bones
Keep it moving for now, when you're not alone
I know you've been there
I know you've seen that side of home
I know you've been there
Good start on to something new
Get tired when love feels like a chore
Has hope and faith renewed?
Do you feel like you could settle the score?
Keep it moving
Keep it running through your bones
Keep it moving
For now, when you're all alone
I know you've been there
I know you've seen that side of home
I know you've been there
There is no chance of looking back
There is no chance of looking back
I know you've been there
I know you've seen that side of home
I know you've been there

by Michael Kragelj
Here we are, it's another day
Another time that I'll hear you say
Something you should regret
But you don't
You say it anyway
And I know that it's all pretend
But I just need to try again
Please tell me you can stay
But you won't
You'll turn and walk away
Give me some of your gravity
I've been falling around your orbit
Tell me how I can get around it
Make me part of your tragedy
If you think there could be a chance
If there might be a change of plans
Maybe you could let me in
But you won't
It's never happening
Even though you're another friend
Let me know when you reach the end
Cause things could turn round and change
But they won't
You'll walk away again
But it's another way
To say you won't
Give me some of your gravity
I've been falling around your orbit
Tell me how I can get around it
Make me part of your tragedy
Give me some kind of harmony
I've been waiting a while to hear it
Tell me something so I can feel it
Make me part of your fantasy

by Austin Ledyard
Waste the night away
While you've been gone, and I've been counting days
Now we're better than we could know
Tried to to make you stay
But you won't
We both run and we all fall over
Drinks for two, but you never paid
We both know we're not getting younger
Don't you know it's in your head?
We all fall over
The time grows older
Your eyes just speak the things unsaid
It's for the good times
The flat lines
Too much wine
We drank together
The stories of heartache
We shared from when we were young
We're not old souls
But maybe it's just fun to pretend
Work the day away, and you close
We clock out and we all fall over
Working hard for the chance to play
We both know that it's almost over
Don't you know it's in your head?
We all fall over
The time grows older
Over and over

by Michael Kragelj
We had dreams
Well you had dreams
I had nightmares
We had it figured out
Well you had it figured
I was so scared
So take all you want from me
Take all you want from me
I'm all yours
I'm all yours
Take all you want from me
Take all you want from me
Maybe for the first time I gave all of me
I said I need you
You said it's never been enough
You didn't hear me
When I was calling on your bluff
Could have told you what it's all about
I told you what it's all about
For me... But you didn't listen
We were driving
Well I was driving
You were half asleep
We were fighting
Well I was fighting
You were happy just to let it go
I thought you were everything
Thought you were everything
I was wrong
I was wrong
I said I need you
You said it's never been enough
You didn't hear me
When I was calling on your bluff
Could have told you what it's all about
I told you what it's all about
For me
Brought the roses home on the Sunday
And by the Monday, you were gone
It comes as no surprise to find you lied about it
But I thought that I had won
I said I need you
You said it's never been enough
You didn't hear me
When I was calling on your bluff
You said it's over
I should have never called it love
Could have told you what it's all about
I told you what it's all about for me

We Fall Together

by Myles Philpott
Here we lie speechless again
Shifting away when I hold your hand
I tried my best to make it right
What's been done, where to begin?
Yeah it hurts but I'll still give in
Looks like I'm learning to forget
Feeling up, then feeling down
It ain't that bad when you're not around
Then again, I want to keep you close
You keep on telling me I need you
And that's hard to believe
But I know that it's true
When we fall, we fall together
We calm the storm in any weather
Take back time and it won't fade away
You wanna run, you wanna hide
But give it space and give it time
Forgiving doesn't come so easily
What am I supposed to think lately?
Girl you know that you drive me crazy
This game of back and forth don't seem to end
When we fall, we fall together
We calm the storm in any weather
Take back time and it won't fade away
