Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name, everything has changed All I know is we held the door You'll be mine and I'll be yours All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
And all my walls stood tall painted blue But I'll take them down Take them down and open up the door for you And all I feel in my stomach Is butterflies the beautiful kind Making up for lost time, taking flight Making me feel right
I just want to know you better know You better know you better now I just want to know you better know You better know you better now I just want to know you better know You better know you better now I just want to know you know you know you

All I know is we said hello So dust off your highest hopes All I know is pouring rain And everything has changed All I know is a newfound brightness All my days, I'll know your face All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
All I knew this morning when I woke Is I know something now, know something now I didn't before And all I've seen since 18 hours ago Is green eyes and freckles And your smile in the back of my mind making me feel like I just want to know you better, know you better know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better know you better now I just want to know you, know you, know you
Cause all I know is we said hello And your eyes look like coming home All I know is a simple name Everything has changed All I know is you held the door You'll be mine and I'll be yours All I know since yesterday Is everything has changed
And all my walls stood tall, painted blue But I'll take ‘em down, take ‘em down And open up the door for you And all I feel in my stomach is butterflies, the beautiful kind Makin' up for lost time, takin' flight making me feel like I just want to know you better, know you better know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better know you better now I just want to know you better, know you better know you better now I just want to know you, know you, know you

Everybody's waiting, everybody's watching Even when you're sleeping, keep your eyes open
The tricky thing is yesterday we were just children Playing soldiers just pretending Dreaming dreams with happy endings
In backyards winning battles with our wooden swords But now we stepped into a cruel world Where everybody stands and keeps score Keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting for you to break down Everybody's watching to see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping, keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open
So here you are, two steps ahead And staying on guard, Every lesson forms a new scar They never thought you'd make it this far
But turn around, now they've surrounded you It's a showdown And nobody comes to save you now But you've got something they don't, Yeah, you've got something they don't You just gotta keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting for you to break down Everybody's watching to see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping, keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open Keep your eyes...
Keep your feet ready Heartbeat steady Keep your eyes open Keep your aim locked The night goes dark Keep your eyes open
Everybody's waiting for you to break down Everybody's watching to see the fallout Even when you're sleeping, sleeping, keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open
Keep your eyes open Keep your eyes open
Isn't it funny how many times we can say We've drawn the line, crossed it out, turned the page And moved on That's what we thought But here I am in the same old car Having myself another same old brown eyed bar* I won't tell nobody I won't tell my friends We'll just drive down this road till the one we're on ends And we'll tell each other things Like I need you
You and me Baby this is what we do I may see There are people you just come back to So fall back on me I'll fall back on you
We always let someone come in between Talking around the truth never saying what we mean Look at all this wasted time
I won't tell nobody I won't tell my friends We'll just drive down this road and pray it doesn't end And we'll tell each other things Like I love you
You and me Baby this is what we do I finally see There are people you just come back to So fall back on me I'll fall back on you
Maybe we'll last Maybe we won't Maybe we'll stop talking And I'll haunt you like a ghost But just maybe You'll get along with me
You and me Baby this is what we do I see, see There are people that you come back to Fall back on me Baby I'll fall back on you Fall back on me Baby I'll fall back on you
Fall back on you
We were crazy to think Crazy to think that this could work Remember how I said I'd die for you? We were stupid to jump In the ocean separating us Remember how I'd fly to you?
And I can't talk to you when you're like this Staring out the window Like I'm not your favorite town I'm New York City I still do it for you, babe They all warned us about times like this They say the road gets hard and you get lost When you're led by blind faith, blind faith
But we might just get away with it Religion's in your lips Even if it's a false god We'd still worship We might just get away with it The altar is my hips Even if it's a false god We'd still worship this love We'd still worship this love We'd still worship this love
I know heaven's a thing I go there when you touch me, honey Hell is when I fight with you But we can patch it up good Make confessions and we're begging for forgiveness Got the wine for you
And you can't talk to me when I'm like this Daring you to leave me just so I can try and scare you You're the West Village You still do it for me, babe They all warned us about times like this They say the road gets hard and you get lost When you're led by blind faith, blind faith
But we might just get away with it Religion's in your lips Even if it's a false god We'd still worship We might just get away with it The altar is my hips Even if it's a false god We'd still worship this love We'd still worship this love We'd still worship this love, ah
Still worship this love Even if it's a false god Even if it's a false god Still worship this love
There's somethin' 'bout the way The street looks when it's just rained There's a glow off the pavement You walk me to the car And you know I wanna ask you to dance right there In the middle of the parking lot Yeah Oh yeah
We're drivin' down the road I wonder if you know I'm tryin' so hard not to get caught up now But you're just so cool Run your hands through your hair Absent mindedly makin' me want you

You take a deep breath and you walk through the doors It's the morning of your very first day You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while Try and stay out of everybody's way
It's your freshman year and you're gonna be here For the next four years in this town Hoping one of those senior boys Will wink at you and say You know I haven't seen you around, before
[chorus] Cause when you're fifteen And somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen feeling like There's nothing to figure out Well count to ten, take in This is life before you know who you're gonna be Fifteen
You sit in class next to a redhead named Abigail And soon enough you're best friends Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool We'll be out of here as soon as we can And then you're on you're very first date And he's got a car and you're feeling like flying And you're mama's waiting up And you're thinking he's the one And you're dancing 'round your room When the night ends When the night ends
[chorus] Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them When you're fifteen And your first kiss makes your head spin 'round But in your life you'll do things greater than Dating the boy on the football team But I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted Was to be wanted Wish you could go back And tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday But I realized some bigger dreams of mine And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy Who changed his mind and we both cried
[chorus] Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen, Don't forget to look before you fall I've found time can heal most anything And you just might find who you're supposed to be I didn't know who I was supposed to be At fifteen
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la ....
Your very first day Take a deep breath girl Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors

Your very first day Take a deep breath, girl Take a deep breath as you walk through the doors
Someone struck a match against the night All I could see was you and I It was captivating A perfect little dream inside my head And then reality crept in And erased it For a while I thought that I could hold you But you were just a temporary high
Firefly You drew me to you Your beauty shines and lights up the sky And you don't know it, do you I wish I could keep you, firefly Firefly
Some things are beautiful and free And just never meant to be caged in I thought I had you in my hand I tried to catch you but I can't chase the wind And every time I reach out to touch you I remind myself you were meant to fly
Firefly You drew me to you Your beauty shines and lights up the sky And you don't know it, do you I wish I could keep you, firefly Firefly
I'd like to think I'd be all that you wanted Not even that is enough...
Firefly You drew me to you Your beauty shines and lights up the sky And you don't know it, do you I wish I could keep you, firefly I wish I could keep you, firefly Firefly...
It would've been nice to see you coming But that would've ruined the surprise It would've been nice to have a picture-perfect world But then the truth would hurt my eyes
It's hard to see a picture drop Before it hits the ground It's nice to know you're here And you're helping me down
You were always there when I needed You could always see me clearly and You were never looking for a thing You...I'm singing one for you
It would've been cool to never fall down But then I never would've seen That power isn't with the picture-perfect person You taught me better things come from in between
It's hard to see a picture drop Before it hits the ground It's nice to know you're here And you're helping me down
You were always there when I needed You could always see me clearly and You were never looking for a thing You...I'm singing one for you
It would've been nice to see you coming But that would've ruined the surprise It would've been nice to have a picture-perfect world But then the truth would hurt my eyes
You were always there when I needed You could always see me clearly and You were never looking for a thing You...I'm singing one for you
