Playlist Against The Current

against the current - ain 039 t it fun

I don't mind
Letting you down easy
but just give it time
If it don't hurt now
then just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond, no more
You are what they're feeding on

So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?

Ain't it fun living in the real world?
Ain't it good being all alone?

Where you're from?
You might be the one who's running things
Well, you could ring anybody's bell
and get what you want
You see it's easy to ignore a trouble
When you're living in a bubble
So what are you gonna do
When the world don't orbit around you?
Ahh ah ah
So what are you gonna do
When nobody wants to fool with you?
Ohh ah ah
Ain't it fun living in the real world?
Ain't it good being all alone?

Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one?
Ain't it good to be on your own?
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one?
Ain't it fun living in the real world?

Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go cryin' to your mama
'Cause you're on your own in the real world

against the current - all too well

I walked through the door with you
The air was cold
But something about it felt like home somehow
And I left my scarf there
At your sister's house
And you've still got it in your drawer, even now

Oh, your sweet disposition
And my wide-eyed gaze
We're singing in the car getting lost upstate
Autumn leaves falling down
Like pieces into place
And I can picture it after all these days

And I know it's long gone
And that magic's not here no more
And I might be okay
But I'm not fine at all

'Cause there we are again
On that little town street
You almost ran the red
'Cause you were lookin' over at me
Wind in my hair, I was there
I remember it all too well

Photo album on the counter
Your cheeks were turning red
You used to be a little kid with glasses
In a twin sized bed
And your mother's telling stories
About you on the tee ball team
You taught me about your past
Thinking your future was me

And I know it's long gone
And there was nothing else I could do
And I forget about you long enough
To forget why I needed to

'Cause there we are again
In the middle of the night
We're dancing 'round the kitchen
In the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there
I remember it all too well

And maybe we got lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
'Till you tore it all up
Running scared, I was there
I remember it all too well

And you call me up again
Just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel
In the name of being honest
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
'Cause I remember it all, all, all too well

Time won't fly
It's like I'm paralysed by it
I'd like to be my old self again
But I'm still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days
And nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things
And I walk home alone

But you keep my old scarf
From that very first week
'Cause it reminds you of innocence
And it smells like me
You can't get rid of it
'Cause you remember it all too well

'Cause there we are again
When I loved you so
Back before you lost
The one real thing you've ever known
It was rare, I was there
I remember it all too well

Wind in my hair, you were there
You remember it all
Down the stairs, you were there
You remember it all
It was rare, I was there
I remember it all too well

against the current - another you

I wish there was another you, 'nother way
And I just can't find the words I should say
If I wanna tell you how I feel, how I feel
Without breaking all that we've made

But they say life goes on anyway
If things should change, oh yeah
Stuck in the same old melody, of misery
And don't you remember

All of the times we spent late at night
We wasted our breath
We're over and done with
I couldn't see what you did to me
It's not for the best
We're over and done with

And I just can't stay another night
The last thing that I ever wanted to do
Was to say goodbye to you

Tell me if it's right or wrong, right or wrong
Staring at your pictures till the shadows fade
Acting like there's nothing wrong, nothing wrong
What we had is slipping away

But they say life goes on anyway
If things should change, oh yeah
Stuck in the same old melody, of misery
And don't you forget that

All of the times we spent late at night
We wasted our breath
We're over and done with
I couldn't see what you did to me
It's not for the best
We're over and done with

And I just can't stay another night
The last thing that I ever wanted to do
Was to say goodbye to you

You say that I
I'm the one who's changed
But I can't keep on
Living life this way
You say that I
I'm the one who's changed
Yeah...

You say that I
I'm the one who's changed
But I can't keep on
Living life this way
You say that I
I'm the one who's changed
I'll find another you another way

All of the times we spent late at night
We wasted our breath
We're over and done with
I couldn't see what you did to me
It's not for the best
We're over and done with

And I just can't stay another night
The last thing that I ever wanted to do
Was to say goodbye to you

You say that I
I'm the one who's changed
But I can't keep on
Living life this way
You say that I
I'm the one who's changed
I'll find another you another way

against the current - blood like gasoline

You're so bad for me
And I know it
But here I am in your arms
And, yeah, we're crawling like a secret
But it's just the calm before the storm

Cause baby, your lips like fire
And my blood like gasoline
When we're striking
Burning up everything
Smoke is rising
It's getting hard to breathe
Your lips like fire

Ignite my gasoline
My blood like gasoline

Your voice follows like an echo
Won't someone wake me from this dream
The bluest skies turn to black clouds
And the wind is drowning out my screams

Cause baby, your lips like fire
And my blood like gasoline
When we're striking
Burning up everything
Smoke is rising
It's getting hard to breathe
Your lips like fire

Ignite my gasoline
My blood like gasoline
Ignite my gasoline
My blood like gasoline

Late at night, telling me if I was a rose
You'll be the thorns and you won't get better
But I say: baby, you're more like a stab
Stand in the rain cause I like the weather
Even though when we're done know I've left these ashes

Baby those lips like fire
My blood like gasoline
Sparked the fire
That burned down everything

Lips like fire
And my blood like gasoline
When we're striking
Burning up everything
Smoke is rising
It's getting hard to breathe
Your lips like fire

Ignite my gasoline
My blood like gasoline
Ignite my gasoline

Cause baby your lips like fire
Left burns all over me

against the current - brighter

Its a brand new day, it's never too late to start
Can't live this life with an empty heart
Every single time that we lay it on the line
Its a roller coaster ride for one
When we know its do or die and were running out of time
We've gotta give it all we got
All we've got!
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Let's burn a little bit brighter now
Sometimes we gotta risk it all to chase a dream
If we dive in headfirst, all or nothing kind of thing
Every single time that we lay it on the line
Its a roller coaster ride for one
When we know its do or die and were running out of time
We've gotta give it all we got
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Let's burn a little bit brighter now!
Can't stand by and wait like the others
I'm front line and won't run for cover
Head held high cause I'm burning brighter
Yeah I'm burning brighter!
Can't stand by and wait like the others
I'm front line and won't run for cover
Head held high cause I'm burning brighter
Yeah I'm burning brighter!
I want something more, a life worth fighting for
I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire
And burn a little bit brighter now
There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows
So set the world on fire
Lets burn a little bit brighter now
Its a brand new day, it's never too late to start

against the current - chasing ghosts

We used to have a light
Now it's too dark to shine
Now we're just passing by
Two shipwrecks in the night

Remember when we met, yeah, I know I was mean
Stones shirt, black boots and black jeans
And you were such a mess
I thought it was sweet
But that night still haunts my dreams

I won't keep chasing ghosts
I need somebody I can hold
Gave you my heart and soul
Thought I was chasing love
I was only chasing a ghost

Tv light, two bodies intertwined
I guess we tend to feel always so far away

Remember when we met, yeah, I know I was mean
Stones shirt, black boots and black jeans
And you were such a mess
I thought it was sweet
But that night still haunts my dreams

I won't keep chasing ghosts
I need somebody I can hold
Gave you my heart and soul
Thought I was chasing love
I was only chasing a ghost

Remember when you left, yeah, I thought I was mean
Stones shirt, black boots and everything
I let you fool me twice, shame on me
But that night still haunts my dreams

I won't keep chasing ghosts
I need somebody I can hold
Gave you my heart and soul
Thought I was chasing love
I was only chasing a ghost

against the current - closer faster

When it gets dark we're falling far tonight
Under the moonlight chasing fireflies
If I'd ask you, "do you think you want to?
Just say yes without feeling like you got to
It's the way that you looked at me
That night

When the butterflies
They came to life
By your side

So won't you pull me closer, kiss me faster
Take me to your happily ever after
Boy don't make me wait forever
Ohh oh oh!

You know we'd be so much better
If we could fall in love together
Pull me closer, kiss me faster
Take me to your happily ever after

You lift me up take my feet off the ground
With just one look it's like you've got me now
Left me speechless, didn't know I'd feel this
Just say yes, boy you know that we could do this
I'm the one you've been dreaming of
And that's why

The butterflies
They come to life
Every time

So won't you pull me closer, kiss me faster
Take me to your happily ever after
Boy don't make me wait forever
Ohh oh oh!

You know we'd be so much better
If we could fall in love together
Pull me closer, kiss me faster
Take me to your happily ever after

It's in the sound of your voice
You've got me caught up in your eyes
And under all the stars
Can you feel the butterflies?
And even at the summer's end
You left with all your promises
I still remember when you said
We could make it last

So won't you pull me closer, kiss me faster
Take me to your happily ever after
Boy don't make me wait forever
Ohh oh oh!

You know we'd be so much better
If we could fall in love together
Pull me closer, kiss me faster
Take me to your happily ever after

So won't you pull me closer, kiss me faster
Take me to your happily ever after
Boy don't make me wait forever
Ohh oh oh!

You know we'd be so much better
If we could fall in love together
Pull me closer, kiss me faster
Take me to your happily ever after

against the current - comeback kid

You got this subtle kind of way of making everything turn grey
Like a bottle that runs dry before you?ve even had a drink
Do you think what you do just might fix the bad in you?
Well, you?re wrong this time around

And oh, oh, oh, oh, you know you gave me something to believe in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you hide behind these battle lines

[Chorus:]
I?m gonna be a comeback kid
And I want to find the words I need to say
Yeah, I?m gonna survive with my head held high
And finally walk away
I?m gonna be a comeback kid
And I want to be the one that?s not afraid
To jump from every sinking ship ?cause I?m done
Waiting to be saved

You got this subtle kind of way about you that pulls me under but I won?t drown
It?s gonna take a whole lot more than that to ever bring me down
I promise that I?ll be back and I?ll be better than before
What you broke down I?ll build back up, ?cause I don?t need you anymore

And oh, oh, oh, oh, you know you gave me something to believe in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you hide behind these battle lines
And oh, oh, oh, oh, you know you gave me something to believe in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you hide behind these battle lines

[Chorus:]
I?m gonna be a comeback kid
And I want to find the words I need to say
Yeah, I?m gonna survive with my head held high
And finally walk away
I?m gonna be a comeback kid
And I want to be the one that?s not afraid
To jump from every sinking ship ?cause I?m done
Waiting to be saved

Do you think what you do just might fix the bad in you?
Well, you?re wrong this time around

And oh, oh, oh, oh, you know you gave me something to believe in
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you hide behind these battle lines

[Chorus:]
I?m gonna be a comeback kid
And I want to find the words I need to say
Yeah, I?m gonna survive with my head held high
And finally walk away
I?m gonna be a comeback kid
And I want to be the one that?s not afraid
To jump from every sinking ship ?cause I?m done
Waiting to be saved

against the current - demons

I read your veins like lines on a map
But I got no destination
See the smoke and signals rise from my breath

And the flames are cold and patient
I filled you with a wonderland born of my imagination
And go, I can't

Cause my demons tied me down
With silk chains wrapped around my soul
It seems so obvious that I should put an end to this

But demons take control
Like dark sins in my soul
I know it seems so obvious
that I should put an end to this
Oh, no, they're just demons

I'm pushing through the blood in you
To heal where you've been hurting
And I'm so numb, I don't feel it run

When it stains the walls around me
I filled the room with shades of you
Drawn in my imagination
And go, I can't

Cause my demons tied me down
With silk chains wrapped around my soul
It seems so obvious that I should put an end to this

But demons take control
Like dark sins in my soul
I know it seems so obvious
that I should put an end to this
Oh, no, they're just demons
They're just demons

They're just demons
They're just demons
Staring up the road
Sick of the darkness and the cold

The chains are wearing thin
Oh, I'm fighting for us both
I built this wonderland
Drenched in the colours of your skin
And go, I can't

Cause my demons tied me down
But silk chains are broken now
It seems so obvious that I should put an end to this

But demons take control
Like dark sins in my soul
I know it seems so obvious that I should put an end to this
Oh, no, they're just demons
They're just demons

against the current - dreaming alone

The story starts laying in the dark with someone new
I?m feeling tired from all the time I spent on you
But I know I?m strong from all the trouble I?ve been through
The story starts where the story falls apart with you

Don?t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
Cause I know it?s you I dream about every night
Giving me a feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I?ve never felt with another
Don?t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I?m not dreaming alone

The story starts lying in the dark broken and bruised
I count the scars left in my heart from losing you
And I was wrong but let?s be honest you were too
I miss the part where I was falling hard for you

So don?t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see when you fall asleep?
Cause I know it?s you I dream about every night
Giving me this feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I?ve never felt with another
Don?t lie, bright eyes
Is it me that you see?
Tell me I?m not dreaming alone

I can?t take back the things I said
And I won?t say that I regret
Any day that I was yours

Don?t lie, bright eyes
I know it?s me that you see when you fall asleep
And you know it?s you I dream about every night
Giving me this feeling like
Love in the summer
Way I?ve never felt with any other
Don?t lie, bright eyes
It?ll always be you and me, so why are we dreaming alone?
It?ll always be you and me, so why are we dreaming alone?

against the current - fireproof

I was better off the night before I met you
But I was mesmerized and high on every word you spoke
You were born to run but your poison tongue won?t save you
Cause when you play with fire it all dissolves to smoke

I hope your hands burn, when you touch her
I won?t be the cure for the scars you?ve earned
You lit the fuse, thought I?d burn too
But you?re playing with a heart that?s fireproof

Turn the whites behind those eyes
But I can feel it (I can feel it, I can feel it)
The kind of danger in the darkness written on your soul
If the brightest star can light the skies forever (forever)
How could you ever think you were invincible?

I hope your hands burn, when you touch her
I won?t be the cure for the scars you?ve earned
You lit the fuse, thought I?d burn too
But you?re playing with a heart that?s fireproof
I watch your flames rise, destroy your alibis
I should have warned you
You?re playing with a heart that?s fireproof
No more games, can?t escape
You will always be my worst mistake
Gasoline, on your grave
Goin? down in flames, goin? down in flames, goin? down in flames

No more games, can?t escape
You will always be my worst mistake
Gasoline, on your grave
Goin? down, in, flames

I hope your hands burn, when you touch her
I won?t be the cure for the scars you?ve earned
You lit the fuse, thought I?d burn too
But you?re playing with a heart that?s fireproof
I watch your flames rise, destroy your alibis
I should have warned you
You?re playing with a heart that?s fireproof

You?re playing with a heart that?s fireproof.

against the current - forget me now

Dear whoever, do you remember?
It's me, old whats-her-name
Can't believe it, you ain't dreaming
I don't look quite the same

But history repeats itself
And now we're making a scene
I can't promise it now
But they call me a queen
Your moment has passed
Tell me how does it feel?

I'm looking down from the skyline
Dancing on the moonlight
Can you see my name in the stars?
Yeah, I bet you won't forget me now
My voice on the airwaves
It's echoing louder and louder
I bet you won't forget me now
Hey!

Hey whoever, it's been forever
I know you know my name
I heard you're still trying to steal my throne
I guess some things never change

I always knew I could make it out
I have a life you dream about
And now the world's in my hands
According to plan

I'm looking down from the skyline
Dancing on the moonlight
Can you see my name in the stars?
Yeah, I bet you won't forget me now
My voice on the airwaves
Echoing louder and louder
I bet you won't forget me now
Hey!

Said you were gonna run this town
Now you just get high and drive around
It didn't happen like you thought it would, yeah
Hit me up like "hope you're good"
And "can you put me on the list tonight? "
And "by the way I've got this clothing line"
Trying to talk like we're old friends
But you don't even know who I am

I'm looking down from the skyline
Dancing on the moonlight
Can you see my name in the stars?
Yeah, I bet you won't forget me now
My voice on the airwaves
Echoing louder and louder
I bet you won't forget me now
I bet you won't forget me now
I bet you won't

against the current - gravity

Do you remember, feeling invincible?
When there was trouble
It was us against the world
We were running, running through the night
Chasing the sun till anything felt right

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out
I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

You were my gravity
You were my gravity

You left me out there
With no one but myself
In an open field
For lightning to strike me down
I was the moon you were the sun
I can't seem to shine now that you're gone
Now I'm out of orbit cause you left with no word
Are you somewhere better now?

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out
I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

You were my gravity
You were my gravity

When you went away thought I'd never be the same
When would the nightmare ever end
If I could do it again I wouldn't change
a thing cause it's made me who I am

Now I'm shattering

Can you save me now?
I get lost up in the clouds
Can you save me now?
You were my gravity
Can you save me now?
When the ground drops out
I get lost in the clouds
Save me now?
You were my gravity
Now my world is shattering

Now my world is shattering

You were my gravity

against the current - guessing

I get lost in you
You're the sky I'm falling through
The clouds, to the ground
Won't you catch me now?

Two roads converge
And neither moves forwards
We're stuck at an impasse
Can this last now?

You stay up I'm crashing down(down)
You stay up I'm crashing down

Now it feels like we're guessing
And I don't know(I don't know)
I could stay, or I could let you go(let you go)
Don't wanna say that I've been wasting my time
But it feels like we're guessing
And I can't wait all my life

So hard moving on
But this'll be the last one
How many times, can I say(I say)
That you broke me in every way

There's nothing left to prove
You rose up and I fell through
Lost in space, I can't(I can't),
I can't face what's in my way

You stay up I'm crashing down (crashing down)
You stay up I'm crashing down

Now it feels like we're guessing
And I don't know (I don't know)
I could stay, or I could let you go (let you go)
Don't wanna say that I've been wasting my time
But it feels like we're guessing
And I can't wait all my life

Every thing that you've ever said
Is burned into the back of my head
I can't forget, I can't forget
Oh oh!
Don't give up on me now(oh oh),
I think I've got you all figured out (oh oh)
You stay up, I'm crashing down

I get lost in you
You're the sky I'm falling through
The clouds, to the ground

Now it feels like we're guessing
And I don't know(I don't know)
I could stay, or I could let you go(let you go)

Now it feels like we're guessing
And I don't know(I don't know)
I could stay, or I could let you go(let you go)
Don't wanna say that I've been wasting my time
But it feels like we're guessing
And I can't wait all my life

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain

Staying in my play pretend
Where the fun ain't got no end
Can't go home alone again
Need someone to numb the pain
You're gone and I gotta stay high all the time

Gotta stay high all my life
