[Verse 1] Do you ever feel like you could see for miles Living life on the road, a movie-like journey Always searching for that picture perfect landscape But your mind always seems to disagree [Pre-Chorus] But don't give up halfway When all falls through, I'm here to stay And I'd say [Chorus] You don't have to know where you're going Don't worry if it doesn't feel right Just take my hand, we can walk on this road again, yeah Through twists and turns, and when it's all a blur I'm here when things seem black and white Just take my hand, we can walk on this road again Yeah, yeah [Verse 2] For a minute you look back and wonder why But with every new turn comes a new perspective Always searching for that picture perfect moment But life always seems to throw another skid But I’d say [Chorus 2] You don't have to know where you're going Don't worry if it doesn't feel right Just take my hand, we can walk on this road again, yeah Through twists and turns, and when it's all a blur I'm here when things seem black and white Just take my hand, we can walk on this road again Yeah, yeah, ooo, yeah This road, I’m walking down this road again, yeah [Bridge] You gotta keep moving, you gotta keep moving No time to get engaged with doubt You gotta keep moving, you gotta keep moving We'll try and figure it all out, yeah But I’d say [Chorus 3] You don't have to know where you're going Don't worry if it doesn't feel right Just take my hand, we can walk on this road again But I’d say [Chorus 4] You don't have to know where you're going Don't worry if it doesn't feel right Just take my hand, we can walk on this road again, yeah Through twists and turns, and when it's all a blur I'm here when things seem black and white Just take my hand, we can walk on this road again Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1] Never showed love when you were around But you got me high above the ground Tried to not let this get in the way Even though I wanted you to stay Years gone by without a word Would this change what we are from what we were I know what I want deep down inside Yet all I do is run and hide, but [Chorus 1] Once I laid eyes on you Oh I knew I wouldn’t be the same without you If I could just show how I feel If only you knew What I’m going through If only you knew That I love you [Verse 2] It’s harder each day to be with you And I don’t know what to really do Can we let our minds just run away To a place where I can finally say, yeah [Chorus 2] Once I laid eyes on you Oh I knew I wouldn’t be the same without you If I could just show how I feel If only you knew What I’m going through If only you knew That I love you [Bridge] I tried to get over you But I only loved you more There’s no turning back from now ‘Cause you’re the one I’m looking for [Chorus 3] Once I laid eyes on you Oh I knew, hmm… Oh [Chorus 4] Once I laid eyes on you (eyes on you) Oh I knew I wouldn’t be the same without you If I could just show how I feel (how I feel) If only you knew What I’m going through If only you knew That I love you Hmm…

Alone 03:28

[Verse 1] I find it hard when you're around To say what's on my mind I'm sorry if I let you down It's the words I can't seem to find So I keep myself afar Even though I want you close Can we change the way things are Can you forgive this bitter soul 'Cause I'm feeling so alone [Chorus 1] But I won't give up I won't just walk away And there's nothing I won't do to bring you back I won't let time heal all this pain Thinking I might lose control 'Cause I'm feeling so alone [Verse 2] Everyday I try to hide This heavy feeling in my heart I know I won't be satisfied If we let this drift apart And you make this seem so hard? [Chorus 2] But I won't give up I won't just walk away And there's nothing I won't do to bring you back I won't let time heal all this pain Thinking I might lose control 'Cause I'm feeling so alone Yeah, yeah, yeah Ooo, yeah, yeah [Outro] Can you forgive this bitter soul Thinking I might lose control, yeah 'Cause I'm feeling so alone

A Little Lonely 03:32

[Verse 1] Ever wonder how I'm doing Care to ask "how's my day?" Busy making people smile While the pain just eats away Ever wonder if you know What's really going on inside Didn't think I'd ever tell Maybe this is worth a try [Chorus 1] Sometimes I get a little lonely Sometimes it kinda hurts Alone I try to understand Should I play it for all it's worth Sometimes I get a little lonely Though it seems I'm doing fine Alone I bear the pain and hurt But somehow I'm getting by I'm getting by But somehow I'm getting by [Verse 2] Ever bothered to ask But you're so caught up in life Always fighting with myself For reasons I can never find [Chorus 2] Sometimes I get a little lonely Sometimes it kinda hurts Alone I try to understand Should I play it for all it's worth Sometimes I get a little lonely Though it seems I'm doing fine Alone I bear the pain and hurt But somehow I'm getting by I'm getting by But somehow I'm getting by [Verse 3] Would you notice if I'm gone Would you ever wonder why Would you take a second thought Or would you let it all go by [Chorus 3] Sometimes I get a little lonely Sometimes it kinda hurts Alone I try to understand Should I play it for all it's worth Sometimes I get a little lonely Though it seems I'm doing fine Alone I bear the pain and hurt But somehow I'm getting Somehow I'm getting Somehow I'm getting by

[Verse 1] I remember the first time that we met We were too shy to exchange words And it's funny to see where we stand now 'Cause we have something we both thought would never occur [Chorus 1] Every time I think of my life now Every time it seems no one's around You're there to steer my heart away from pain Every time I think I'm feeling low You're the only one who always knows Just what to say to get me through the day And I'll never find a way To owe it all back to you [Verse 2] Thanks to you I have someone to turn to Someone to listen to all I have to say You may not even realize how much you've done for me And I pray that you'll be the one to stay [Chorus 2] Every time I think of my life now Every time it seems no one's around You're there to steer my heart away from pain Every time I think I'm feeling low You're the only one who always knows Just what to say to get me through the day And I'll never find a way To owe it all back to you [Bridge] I know I can't solve all your fears I know I can't change your painful past I know I can't tell you what's to come I'll be there when you need me [Chorus 3] Every time I think of my life now Every time it seems no one's around You're there to steer my heart away from pain Every time I think I'm feeling low You're the only one who always knows Just what to say to get me through the day, yeah [Chorus 4] Every time I think of my life now Every time it seems no one's around You're there to steer my heart away from pain Every time I think I'm feeling low You're the only one who always knows Just what to say to get me through the day And I'll never find a way To owe it all back to you

[Verse 1: Ryan] I'm feeling bad and I don't know why I'm driving 'round really late at night I'm doing my best, but I still obsess Over two percent of them Wondering down the aisles upset Trying so hard to disconnect I'm doing my best, but I’m sensitive Getting underneath my skin [Chorus 1: Ryan] Why do I let things get to me My mind and heart just don't agree I'm fighting with myself and with my feelings Missing how I used to be But I'm learning to work with me [Verse 2: Denice] I overthink and I don't know why Sometimes I wonder how I got by I'm doing my best, is this just a test Can't seem to fall asleep tonight I'm just scared this will fall apart Didn't think it could get this hard I'm doing my best, don't wanna forget I'm just following my heart [Chorus 2: Ryan + Denice] Why do I let things get to me My mind and heart just don't agree I'm fighting with myself and with my feelings Missing how I used to be But I'm learning to work with me [Chorus 3: Ryan] Why do I let things get to me My mind and heart just don't agree I'm fighting with myself and with my feelings Missing how I used to be But I'm learning to work with me But I'm learning to work with me

[Verse 1] I’m lying in bed thinking about you Do you think we could be more than just friends You’ve been in my dreams and on my mind Do I spill my heart out or hide instead [Pre-Chorus 1] I’ve just been lonely And I’m longing, to [Chorus 1] Drive away to a place Where we can see the stars I lie awake ‘cause I can’t take Being apart And I don’t know why when we say goodbye I break up inside can we just find time to Drive away to a place Where we can see the stars, yeah (I can see the) [Verse 2] Every time you’re around I wonder why There’s so many words I’ve left unsaid If there’s no one around, just you and I Do I make the first move or wait instead, oh [Pre-Chorus 2] I’ve just been lonely And I’m longing, to [Chorus 2] Drive away to a place Where we can see the stars I lie awake ‘cause I can’t take Being apart And I don’t know why when we say goodbye I break up inside can we just find time to Drive away to a place Where we can see the stars, yeah, oh (I can, I can see the stars)
