1.Forgive and Forget

作詞:James Matthew Dewees, Robert Steven Pope, Ryan Michael Pope,
Matthew Patrick Pryor, James Suptic

I think I've waited long enough
Our world was once forget me not
And now I wait another year, I need you here

I think I've heard this one before
But it's not you walking through my door
And now I wait another year, I need you here
I need you here, I need you here, I need you here

Don't bother it now, let sleepers lie
Bygones have all gone by
Forgot what we fought for, hard as I might
Don't have the will to fight

Forgive and forget whatever was said
Because we're growing up by the hour
I never would let it go on like it did
All good things have endings
Forgive and forget whatever was said
All good things have endings

Don't bother it now, let sleepers lie
Bygones have all gone by
Forgot what we fought for, hard as I might
Don't have the will to fight

Don't bother it now, let sleepers lie
Bygones have all gone by
Forgot what we fought for, hard as I might
Don't have the will to fight


2.Holiday

作詞:James Matthew Dewees, Robert Steven Pope, Ryan Michael Pope,
Matthew Patrick Pryor, James Suptic

What became of everyone, I used to know?
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don't match the story that your actions show
What do I know?

I'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought you'd be the one not to forget
Remembering's not helping you yet

Say goodnight
Means goodbye
I know you think my life
Would stop when you're away

Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
But I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays

The evidence presents itself accusingly
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity

You're not remembering
I'm not asking you anyway
And even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn't know where to begin

Say goodnight
Means goodbye
I know you think my life
Would stop when you're away

Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays

Say goodnight
Means goodbye
Know you think my life
Would stop when you're away
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holiday


3.I'll Catch You

作詞:Dewees James Matthew , Pope Robert Steven , Pope Ryan Michael
, Pryor Matthew Patrick , Suptic James David

Can you sleep as the sound hits your ears
One at a time?
An unspoken balance here
Unabridged for so many years
That I should stare at receivers
To receive her
Isn't fair

Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't ever worry

Your arms in mine
Anytime
I wouldn't trade anything
You're still my everything
To my surprise
Before my eyes
You arrive

Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't ever worry

Still breaking old habits, habits
You pulled the wool over me
I can see everything, everything
Remembering jinx removing

Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't worry, I'll catch you
Don't ever worry

No need for reminding
You're still all that matters to me


4.I'm a Loner Dottie, a Rebel

作詞:James Matthew Dewees, Robert Steven Pope, Ryan Michael Pope,
Matthew Patrick Pryor, James David Suptic

Come tomorrow I'll be on my way back home
In the morning call from a roadside telephone
One night doesn't mean the rest of my life
If I go it's not impossible but possible is probably wrong

So, let go because I'm afraid to try
I'll keep my hands by my side
I won't come back
I hope some day you'll understand I want to try
And make it right but don't know if I can

Last night everything was right and the rain was gone
One summer night's the only time we've known
So, shut your eyes and when you wake, I'll be gone


5.My Apology

作詞:James Matthew Dewees, Robert Steven Pope, Ryan Michael Pope,
Matthew Patrick Pryor, James David Suptic

You'll be accepting my apology
For taking things too seriously
Sometimes I'm old enough to keep routines
Sometimes I'm child enough to scream

For everything, I broke in two
You're barely missing me
I'm missing you and everything you do
I really do, I really do, sure I do

My once photographic memory
For recollection's sake is failing me
I can't remember for the life of me

Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
We move on

Get a job where I tell, all of my accounts of someone else
I'm quick enough to judge that they were wrong
That we knew it all along, sing a long, long winded song
I would be content to hum along, hum

If I state that my fingers know where to show
What everyone should have known, I'll let it go
Hopefully you'll forget any words that I put in print
My luck, you'll change, have strength enough to walk away

Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
We move on

Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong

Sometimes I can think to recite
Words that I read and rewrite
My pens paint people that I've proven wrong
Read and rewrite it wrong


6.Out of Reach

作詞:James Matthew Dewees, Robert Steven Pope, Ryan Michael Pope,
Matthew Patrick Pryor, James David Suptic

Long way from home
Lost by an echo, I'd never of known
I've got pictures to prove I was there
But you don't care

Here's me overseas
Across a pond by the Dover peaks
I've smuggled myself into new nationalities
You think you'd be proud of me

There's room to believe
Out of sight, out of mind, out of reach
Start over is no way to begin

Long way from home
Lost by an echo, I'd never of known
I've got pictures to prove I was there
But you don't care

There's room to believe
Out of sight, out of mind, out of reach
Start over, start over is no way to begin

There's room to believe
Out of sight, out of mind, out of reach
Start over, start over is no way to begin
Way to begin, way to begin


7.Red Letter Day

作詞:Dewees James Matthew , Pope Robert Steven , Pope Ryan Michael
, Pryor Matthew Patrick , Suptic James David

You've got some nerve I never knew
What with the world, we gave away in front of you
I see it all much clearer now
You're just a phase I've gotten over anyhow

It's over, I'm not giving in again
We're loyal like brothers, just us versus all the others
You're the one for, you're the one for me
And I trusted misleading promises worth repeating
How could you do this to me?

Red letter day that I learn
I'm sure you get what you deserve
I see it all much clearer since
I'm far past the point of this

It's over
We're loyal like brothers, just us versus all the others
You're the one for, you're the one for me
And I trusted misleading promises worth repeating
How could you do this
How could you do this to me?

If it's a lie, I don't want to be the one who signed
I'm not the one who falls down
It's over now, over now
If you want to try
Try and forget it
I'll say It's over
I'm gone

We're loyal like brothers, just us versus all the others
You're the one for, you're the one for me
And I trusted misleading promises worth repeating
How could you do this
How could you do this
How could you do this to me?


8.Ten Minutes

作詞:Dewees James Matthew , Pope Robert Steven , Pope Ryan Michael
, Pryor Matthew Patrick , Suptic James David

Ten minutes to downtown
Is ten minutes too far
When my friends all say I'm crazy
Maybe I'm being selfish
Maybe I'm just scared

Don't be gone when I get home
I need you there

If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love
While I just fall apart

Ten minutes to downtown
Is ten minutes too far
When my heart is saying you're crazy
Maybe things are getting better
Maybe things aren't so bad

Don't be gone when I get home
You're all I have

If I had to explain it
I wouldn't know where to start
It's like you're falling in love
While I just fall apart

Pockets empty, how can you tell me
That everything will work out?
A pointless fight when you're always right
And everything will work out, it works out

Sometimes, I miss you more
Whenever I'm at home
I've been home all summer
Now I'm leaving you alone

Pockets empty, how can you tell me
That everything will work out?
A pointless fight when you're always right
And everything will work out
Everything will work out
Everything will work out


9.Valentine

作詞:Dewees James Matthew , Pope Robert Steven , Pope Ryan Michael
, Pryor Matthew Patrick , Suptic James David

It's words you forget to anniversary songs
Bottles bite back your tolerance wrong
Your good intentions count for little anymore
If you're sorry why wage war?

I'm not fully convinced
That something wrong with this
Could another point of view biased and untrue
Tear me away from you

Will you be my valentine
If I'm a world away
Apologies are breaking me
Constants aren't so constant anymore

Two days I wait for calls
To come through
Tonight for me translates
Yesterday to you

Bend and you wave you're barely away
Wish I could say tonight
When you bend and wave goodbye
You'd take me with you

Will you be my valentine
If I'm a world away
Apologies are breaking me
The constants aren't so constant anymore
The constants aren't so constant anymore

Will you be my valentine
Will you be my valentine
If I'm a world away, if I'm a world away
The constants aren't so constant anymore


10.Action And Action

You really think that you're bigger than this
To the tune of ten thousand lisps
Who would have thought we'd represent,
When I can't take a compliment?

Overexposure is the key
And any focus on me
Is appreciated,
As it should be.

No wonder now,
I finally found
The right formula for…

You taught me how,
I play the fool.
Every mistake that I make,
I couldn't have made without you.

What's said is done
And plain to see,
You take it all too seriously.

What better way to make an honest mistake
Than a televised hand of fate.
When the world's closing in on you,
A decision would be overdue.

Now nothing left is out of hand,
A stronger jaded man stands.
If the world is ending
Then we toast to it.

I'm stronger now
But not without
The right formula for…

You taught me how,
I play the fool.
Every mistake that I make,
I couldn't have made without you.

What's said is done
And plain to see,
Here's all you get from me.
Here's all you get from me.

I'm down for whatever.
What's there left to wait for?
I'm down for whatever.
What's there left to wait for?
Wait for?
I wait.

You taught me how,
I play the fool.
Every mistake that I make,
I couldn't have made without you.

What's said is done
And plain to see,
Here's all you get from me.


11.The Company Dime

作詞:James Matthew Dewees, Robert Steven Pope, Ryan Michael Pope,
Matthew Patrick Pryor, James David Suptic

Watched it all come crashing down on the verge of a world
profound
Standing on unstable ground, adding insult to irony
Think it's really gonna happen this time, calls are on the
company dime
Reluctance ties up the line with irresponsibility

No matter save for a friend, no argument can amend
Irreplaceable but in the end, one star player doesn't save the
team
Now you're open to attack, our burden rest on your back
Replace, re-track responsibility

I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this
I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this
I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this

Anonymous until the ending, spent a long, long time pretending
And a longer day spent accepting what the world ahead would
store
You only learn by not believing that the industry is unforgiving
Everything that you've been given isn't what it was before

I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this
I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this
I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this

Replace, re-track, replace, re-track, replace, re-track

I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this
I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this
I'm still waitin' for, I'm still waitin' for you to get over
this


12.Long Goodnight

作詞:James Matthew Dewees, Robert Steven Pope, Ryan Michael Pope,
Matthew Patrick Pryor, James David Suptic

Every attempt to, is filled with holes
Reads like a polygraph, I'm told
I'm not bitter anyway
Let it go

I never sleep still, lest I forget
Tied down by handicaps instead
I'm not bitter anyway
But I didn't want it to turn out this way

Sing a long goodnight, forfeit any fight
Refuse to rest assured
It comes with no reply, hold on too tight
Hang on every word

If it all ended tonight
You know that I wouldn't mind
Back to the good old times
Before it won

If it all ended tonight
You know that I wouldn't mind
Back to the good old times
Before it won

Sing a long goodnight, forfeit any fight
Refuse to rest assured
It comes with no reply, hold on too tight
Hang on every word

Sing a long goodnight, forfeit any fight
Refuse to rest assured
It comes with no reply, hold on too tight
Hang on every word


13.Close to Home

作詞:James Matthew Dewees, Robert Steven Pope, Ryan Michael Pope,
Matthew Patrick Pryor, James David Suptic

Summer swallowed us whole
Waited for you to come around
Every word you wrote down
We read it over to know, would they believe in us now?
There's no shame like no sound from sources hits close to home
Everything that we've found says make your own destiny

But you're unaware that you should be scared
Maybe you'll learn from mistake that we make
Not waiting forever
We know you'll never be there
Not waiting forever
But if you get out we'll see you there

Summer swallowed us whole
Waited for you to come around
There's no shame like no sound from sources hits close to home
Everything that we've found says make your own destiny

But you're unaware that you should be scared
Maybe you'll learn from mistake that we make
Not waiting forever
We know you'll never be there
Not waiting forever
But if you get out we'll see you there
You're not awake as I'm aware

Maybe we had all you figured absolutely wrong
There's been a misunderstanding we've had all along
Maybe we had all you figured absolutely wrong
You can read about it, about it when we're gone


14.Central Standard Time

作詞:Dewees James Matthew , Pope Robert Steven , Pope Ryan Michael
, Pryor Matthew Patrick , Suptic James David

Cold October fall
At the outside of a VFW hall
I said I minded distance
But distance would define us, define us all

A tree in Nichol's Park
I carved a broken heart
I said I minded distance
But distance owned us from the start

It's every song
It's every song

There's dividing lines
Between east and standard time
So promise me you'll still be mine

Cold October fall
At the outside of a VFW hall
I said I minded distance
But distance would define us all

Will this come between us as I doubt
All of the pages I pour out?
When our doubt becomes regret
Don't ever forget, my only, you own me if you'd only see

We've forgotten how
She says will this come between us
As I doubt all of the pages I pour out?
When our doubt becomes regret don't ever forget

There's dividing lines
Between east and standard time
So promise me you'll still be mine

There's dividing lines
Between east and standard time
So promise me you'll still be mine
Promise me you'll still be mine
