Alli and I - Compromise (A Cherry Sprite) Every time I let my mind fall off the face, Of the earth and into space, I try to fake I make mistakes I lie awake. I sleep all day count sheep all night, And to my dismay I think I might Go with my mind to outer space Forget today, forget this life. Don’t buy these lies, you’ll pay the price. Don’t sacrifice, you’ll Compromise. I try so hard reach for the stars from dusk ’til dawn, I’m skating on, but my dreams just fade like stars at day, And before I sleep, my tears awake. I would cry myself to sleep at night, But the tears just keep my mind alive, So I lie awake, I like to make you think I’m fine, But I’m not alright. Don’t buy these lies, you’ll pay the price, Don’t sacrifice, you’ll Compromise. Don’t firefight, don’t walk on ice, it’s no surprise you’re telling lies. I’ve caught you there so many times, you cannot see that I’m not blind. I’ve pulled you out of your demise, I’ve saved your life a thousand times, You think I’m wrong, you close your eyes, you’ve given up on, Your path of light. What do you think goes through my mind? I try to help; you criticize. It’s over and I only find that you hate my words, you’re a firefight. And the things you say to me; prove that you believe, The lies beneath your skin; they’ve corrupted you, you’ve welcomed them. But I don’t just believe, you can’t just pass them on to me. ‘Cause I don’t just believe, don’t lay that curse on me. Don’t, don’t, you lay, that curse on me. Don’t buy these lies, you’ll pay the price, Don’t sacrifice, you’ll Compromise. Don’t firefight. And don’t, don’t, don’t walk on ice, It’s no surprise you’re telling lies.

Studio Apartment - Alli and I I won't let this distance get the best of me, When I'm all alone at night and tryin’ to sleep. I'll be fine, if I keep in mind that you're lovin' me, But it's hard to believe coming from another city. And now we know that it's all about love, It's all about trust, and knowin' our places. Now we know that it's all about love, It's all about trust and keeping smiles on our faces, Now, we know… It's plain to see that I'm trapped up in this studio apartment. Never knowin' if I'm ever gonna catch a break. My body and mind are always tradin' their places. If I end up losin' both it's my mistake. And now we know that it's all about love, It's all about trust, and knowin' our places. Now we know that it's all about love, It's all about trust and keeping smiles on our faces, Now, we know… We've learned, more than we thought we could know, in a whole lifetime. We've gone further than we could go, even in our minds. And if you hear them say that “This is ending soon,” They must not know me, they must not know you, ‘Cause this is going to work out for the good of those who love… And now we know that it's all about love, It's all about trust, and knowin' our places. And now we know that it's all about love, It's all about trust, and knowin' our places. Now we know that it's all about love, And now we know that it's all about love, It's all about trust, and knowin' our places. It's all about trust and keeping smiles on our faces, Now, we know…

Alli and I - King and Queen Who’s gonna listen? Who’s gonna sing?… These songs, along with me? I know I’m missin’ you, ‘cause I’m a cheat. But I have made my graces with the King. ‘Cause you’re not a queen, And I’m not a king, We’re fooling ourselves; There’s no royalty. I suppose you can blame me, for runnin’ From your love. I got no, good excuses, just bad luck. I’ve been so distant, and I’ve been discreet, And there, there is no peace, and I don’t sleep. ‘Cause you’re not a queen, And I’m not a king, We’re fooling ourselves; There’s no royalty. ‘Cause you’re not a queen, And I’m not a king, We’re fooling ourselves; There’s no royalty. ‘Cause life in the dark, is getting too hard, It’s been almost three weeks; starting to get to me. ‘Cause life in the dark, is getting too hard, It’s been over three weeks; starting to get to me…

Blue Skies 04:39
Alli and I - Blue Skies I see it falling apart, if I forget to leave my heart, Then I promise I won’t fail, to send it in the mail. You need to throw away this melody, and say these words in your head… God, don’t give up on me now. You break my jaw, I’ll close my mouth. My life will get clearer, There’s blue skies in the mirror. A broke jaw, a broken heart, a voice of silence is where I’ll start. A heartless girl who sits alone, a heartless girl who has no home. She needs to throw away this melody, and say these words in her head… God, don’t give up on me now. You break my jaw, I’ll close my mouth. My life will get clearer, There’s blue skies in the mirror. I’ll throw up my hands and grab the sky, Tear a cloud down down, from on high, Hands in my pockets, mind on bluer skies. She screams at the mirror as she cries, The bottle brings more tears to her eyes, Hand on the razor, mind on suicide. She can’t find a heart inside her chest, She’s lost the lungs that hold her breath, She can’t grasp the air to say I love you, The lack of air inside her lungs I fear, Results in a lack to call you dear. God, don’t give up on me now. You break my jaw, I’ll close my mouth. My life will get clearer, There’s blue skies, blue skies. God, don’t give up on me now. You break my jaw, I’ll close my mouth. My life will get clearer, There’s blue skies in the mirror.

Postcard 03:55
Alli and I - Postcard For all of my life, all of my life, I have wanted to, Travel the whole world, and surf the ocean blue. Now that I’m out here, now that I’m out here, and I know not what to do. I’ll dial up your number, I hope your phone is close to you. Because being away is starting to kill me, I wanted you to know; I’m sending this song home, I hope you’re catching every note. It means the world that you’re waiting back home. Whether you’re friends, or whether you’re family, I’m writing you a note. I’ll send this song just like a letter, in an envelope. I’ll, I’ll, shoot for a text, I’ll try for a phone call, that’s all I can do, I’ll send this song just like a postcard in the mailbox for you. I’ll send this song just like a postcard in the mailbox for you. Because being away is starting to kill me, I wanted you to know, I’m sending this song home, I hope you’re catching every note. It means the world that you’re waiting back home. For 19 years that I have been home, and I finally got to leave. And million people, with faces unknown and buildings scaring me, What happened to, my best friends that are always by my side? They’re back in Lincoln, cheerin’ me on every single night, Every single night.. Because being away is starting to kill me, I wanted you to know, I’m sending this song home, I hope you’re catching every note. It means the world that you’re waiting back home, It means the world that you’re waiting home. Because being away is starting to kill me, I wanted you to know, I’m sending this song home, I hope you’re catching every note. It means the world that you’re waiting back home.

Alli and I - Half a Decade It’s not that simple; you’re getting older now, And I know just how, it goes, the roots run deep. So you hold onto, everything you can, And you try to understand, the roots and trees. And I remember bein’ your age, And thinking, I had it all figured out. It’s been a Half a Decade since then, And I’m thinking, I don’t know anything, Don’t know anything now. How did we get here? We’ve grown so quiet now, And I don’t know how to say to you; “I guess I gave up. I am so sorry, told you how I felt, But these shows took me away from you.” Heh, It’s just my luck. And I remember bein’ your age, And thinking, I had it all figured out. It’s been a Half a Decade since then, And I’m thinking, I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything now. So what am I, what am I trying to say? If you love him, then don’t stay. So what am I, what am I trying to say? If you love him, then don’t stay. And I remember bein’ your age, And thinking, I had it all figured out. It’s been a Half a Decade since then, And I’m thinking, I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything And I remember bein’ your age, And thinking, I had it all figured out. It’s been a Half a Decade since then, And I’m thinking, I don’t know anything, I don’t know anything now. Anything now, anything now.

Alli and I - The Simple Summer Like coffee in a pot, tonight I’m brewing all these thoughts, Every drip and every drop, has a feeling. She’s a different kind of roast, because I’m loving her the most, And I’ll defend this kind of blend, as if she were my own. There’s something in the air tonight, The Simple Summer starry sky is perfect. Let’s make history, make history tonight. The tailgate is down, I can’t believe I’m singing this out loud, Here I go I’m screaming my lungs out, sharing all our dreams under the clouds. There’s something different tonight. There’s something in the air tonight, The Simple Summer starry sky is perfect. Let’s make history, make history tonight. And this Husker scene, isn’t the dream I thought it’d be, But that’s alright with me, ‘cause we’ll be fine… If you stay with me, we’ll live The Simple Summer dream, And make history tonight. There’s something different tonight, There’s something different tonight. There’s something in the air tonight, The Simple Summer starry sky is perfect. Let’s make history, make history tonight. And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, you’re perfect, Let’s make history, make history tonight. And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, And now you’re here to sing your part, So sing along with all your heart, you’re perfect, you are. There’s something in the air tonight, The Simple Summer starry sky is perfect.

Alli and I - Always Somethin’ I can see it in her eyes, she doesn’t even have to speak, But when she does, it’s all in love, she’s sharing it with me. I can taste it on her lips, and touch it on her skin, I’ve tried giving up a thousand times, but with her I just give in. It’s always something, and it’s far beyond me. Over my head, beyond my mental capacity. It’s always something that I cannot live without, So I fight and fight inside my mind, until I figure it out. She can hear it on the phone, every night after 12:15. (Every night after 12:15) She knows I feel alone, the second that I start to speak. (The second that I start to speak) 1,170 miles away, which means another forty days, (Another forty days) And I confuse it with eternity, until I see her face. It’s always something, and it’s far beyond me. Over my head, beyond my mental capacity. It’s always something that I cannot live without, So I fight and fight inside my mind, until I figure it out. It’s always something, and it’s far beyond me. Over my head, beyond my mental capacity. It’s always something that I cannot live without, So I fight and fight inside my mind, until I figure it out. There, there, there, has to be, There, there, there, has to be, There, there, there has to be, Somethin’ between us, more than distance. There, there, there, has to be, There, there, there, has to be, There, there, there has to be, Somethin’ between us, more than distance. There, there, there, has to be, There, there, there, has to be, There, there, there has to be, Somethin’ between us, more than distance. There, there, there, has to be, There, there, there, has to be, There, there, there has to be, Somethin’ between us, more than distance.

Can't Say 09:52
Alli and I - Can’t Say I can’t say that I’m sorry, I can’t say that I’ve loved well, Can’t say that I haven’t done this to myself. I can’t say that I’m sorry, can’t say that I’ve loved well, Can’t say that I haven’t done this to myself. I’m runnin’ out of options, my ideas are wearin’ thin, My lungs are treadin’ water, my heart is cavin’ in. I’m headed for a place that I have never been, I’m countin’ up my losses, I’m hopin’ for a win. Because I have done this to myself, Put my heart up on a shelf, I have brought upon this hell. It’s difficult to tell, just exactly how I feel, My skin is soft as silk, but my heart is hard as steel. I’m headed for a place that I have never been, I’m countin’ up my losses, and hoping for a win. Because I have done this to myself, Put my heart up on a shelf, I have brought upon this, hell. I can’t say that I’m sorry, I can’t say that I’ve loved well, I can’t say that I haven’t done this to myself. I can’t say that I’m sorry, (I have done this to myself) I can’t say that I’ve loved well, I can’t say that I haven’t done this to myself. I can’t say that I’m sorry, (I have done this to myself) I can’t say that I’ve loved well, I can’t say that I haven’t done this to myself. I can’t say that I’m sorry, (I have done this to myself) I can’t say that I’ve loved well, I can’t say that I haven’t done this to myself. Done this to myself, Because I have done this to myself, Put my heart up on a shelf, I have brought upon this… I have done this to myself, Put my heart up on a shelf, I have brought upon this… Hell.

Alli and I - December 29th It was the day they told me about love. And the multitude that it covers. Is what they’d been preachin’ of. It was the night, I sat in the car, with Tyne, and I cried, Over someone I could not get back. So I’ll sit, on the edge of your bed, And play my guitar, while you fall asleep. And I’ll sit, on the edge of your bed, Sing out my heart, while you fall asleep next to me. Next to me. It was July; a Friday night, I had packed up my bags, I made up my mind, but my best friend, Evan, saved my life. It was December 29th, I knew I’d lost her, but I could not let her go. So I’ll sit, on, the edge of your bed, I’ll play my guitar, while you fall asleep. And I’ll sit on the edge of your bed, I’ll sing out my heart, while you fall asleep… It was the night, I slept in my clothes, I woke up alone, on Tarlowski’s couch. And all I had known, is I had broken my phone, But I could not remember, just how I gotten there. Or how I would get home. It was the night, I slept in my clothes, I woke up alone, on somebody’s couch, And all I had known, is I had broken my phone, But I could not remember, just how I gotten there. Or how I would get home. (We’ve all been down that road, we know where it goes, We’re goin’ down, goin’ down fast) We’ve all been down that road, we know where it goes, We’re goin’ down, goin’ down fast. We’ve all been down that road, we know where it goes, We’re goin’ down, goin’ down fast. We’ve all been down that road, we know where it goes, We’re goin’ down, goin’ down fast. We’ve all been down that road, we know where it goes, We’re goin’ down, goin’ down fast. We’ve all been down that road, we know where it goes, We’re goin’ down, goin’ down fast. We’ve all been down that road, we know where it goes, We’re goin’ down, goin’ down fast.

Alli and I - Life at its Finest I miss the days, when the band was all together, We swore we’d make our songs, And we’d travel the world forever, I still can’t believe you moved on. If it was up to me, you'd still be right here by my side, But I'm not a king, and I have no say in these things. If I had my choice, I'd still be traveling with my boys, But as you can see, it's not the way it used to be. But I guess we all grow up, this is Life at its Finest. You’ll go far if you’re good, at stealin’ an lyin’. I've bent the truth, so I could be a better thief, I've lied to you, so I could take what I don't need. But in the end, I've done more damage than I meant, And I regret, all the selfish things I did. But I guess we all grow up. I guess we all grow up, this is Life at its Finest. You go to church, maybe you'll look good, as long as you're tryin’. But I’ll have you know, I lost it all, because of my transgressions, I lost it, ‘cause I was good, at stealin’ an lyin’ And I still, can’t believe that you’re gone. I still can’t believe that I’m living life without you. I still can’t believe that you moved on. I still, can’t believe that you’re gone. I still, I can’t believe that I’m living life without you. I still, I can’t believe that you moved on. But I guess we all grow up, this is Life at its Finest. You pay your rent, maybe you'll look good, as long as you're tryin’. But I’ll have you know, I lost it all, because of my transgressions, I lost it, ‘cause I was good, at stealin’ an lyin’, I lost it, ‘cause I was good at stealin’ an lyin’, I guess this is Life at its Finest.
