| Empires |
VERSE
Young blood
We used to stand so tall
Empires
We built just to watch them fall
Now we've settled down
Lost the spark somehow
PRE-CHORUS
We were alright
With not being alright
We were alright
With not being fine
This time, just wanna
CHORUS
Turn back
To tough love
Turn back
Tough luck
Turn back
To tough love
Turn back
Tough luck
VERSE
Young hearts
You used to beat so strong
Untamed
It's been in you all along
But we've settled in
Watched the spark grow dim
Don't you settle down
Keep em' around
PRE-CHORUS
You will be alright
Caught up in the headlights
Yeah, alright
Without choosing sides
This time, just wanna
CHORUS
Turn back
To tough love
Turn back
Tough luck

| The Motions |
VERSE
You’re a human in disguise
What can I say?
Chasing your daydream
Your breaking through
Everything you are
Is called out of time
You’re on fire in your mind
And in mine
Turning the record
Is hard for you
PRE-CHORUS
Everything you are
Is called out of time
It is not your fault,
We’re just trained
To go through The Motions
CHORUS
Save face
It is a new age
Don’t stray
Find your own way
We romanticize the past,
When we’re lucky to be
Where we are
Rewind, you’ll see
VERSE
You’re an allstar in the game
With lots to lose
Turning the tape back
Won’t make this new
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

| Highway Bloodline |
VERSE
You’re a runaway
It’s in your bloodline
I’m here to stay
Cause these city streets
Are runnin’ through mine
I would drive all night
Just call on me
I’ll be there any time
You can take the back seat
And I’ll count the miles
Till we’re side by side
I would drive all night
To feel your heartbeat next to mine
I would drive all night
Yeah
CHORUS
But I don’t need
Your clean cut love
Or your hard earned faith
But you don’t see
That this old dog
Will never change
You’re a runaway
With a highway bloodline
Ours is a fragile faith
I feel it slip away
From the dashboard to streetlights
I would drive all night
To feel your heartbeat next to mine
Tell me we can try
Yeah
CHORUS x2
I would drive all night
To feel your heart beat next to mine
Tell me we can try, yeah
We'll never change

|
| Punch Drunk |
VERSE
On your veins
We traced a line
Took me through
Fast cars, slow dances
And punch drunk perfume
Hands on shoulders
Your eyes are mine
I feel you
Cigarette still stingin'
The dark in the room
CHORUS
When the night crept in
We were calling your name
This time, to take and not give
We were there searching
You were already gone
VERSE
If I could
I'd have asked you then
What I've come to know
Patched and painted
A smile for a show
A knock at the door
Do your hearts stand still?
Do you hear me through
Back alley faces
And dreams we outgrew
CHORUS
When the night crept in
We were calling your name
This time, to take and not give
We were there searching
But you were already gone
CHORUS x1

| Keepsake |
VERSE
Take me for a ride
We'll be stateside
You'll make it out alive
Right on time
Don't you keep me waiting
Keep me by your side
We'll think of new
Ways to spend our time
But if we fail
Would you be happy?
CHORUS
Say you saw this from the start
Counting miles when we're worlds apart
Take the promise that you made
Save it in a case as a keepsake
Why did you keep me in the dark?
Till you told me it was over in the park
VERSE
You say I live a lie
But its the only time
It all makes sense to me
'Cause when I cry
He's nowhere to be seen
CHORUS
Say you saw this from the start
Counting miles when we're worlds apart
Take the promise that you made
Save it in a case as a keepsake
Why did you keep me in the dark?
Till you told me it was over in the park
Could have spared my heart

| Phases |
VERSE
You wear your heart on your sleeve
It's wearing you down
Left it out for the birds and the beasts
To show you around
Talkin' shit like you can't compete
Day in and day out
But you're moving mountains beneath your feet
Without making a sound
CHORUS
I got my money on you
Feelin' bulletproof
I got my money on you
You don't know the truth
VERSE
Times are tougher than you'd expect
But don't turn yourself in just yet
CHORUS
I got my money on you
Feelin' bulletproof
I got my money on you
You don't know the truth
Got my money on you
Feelin' bulletproof
I got my money on you
You don't know the truth

| Suit, Suite |
VERSE
Collared white
They don't mind
You have all they want
You have all they need
Tell yourself
In your mind
You have all we want
You have all we need
CHORUS
In your penthouse suite
Do you ever see the street?
Your reality
Stolen from a cover scene
There's no pleasantries
In a painted paradise
VERSE
You and I
Underpriced
Turn a blind eye
In the middle of July
Fill my mind
With the lie
That you have all I want
You have all I need
CHORUS
In your penthouse suite
Do you even see the street?
Only fantasy
Stolen from a cover scene
There's no pleasantries
In a painted paradise

| Sympathy City |
VERSE
Last night
We counted sirens in the dark
Like they were streetlights
From your high-rise
Safely
Leaning up against a balcony
We listened, as the shots rang out
Just like a movie
CHORUS
Caught in the city
Lost in the sprawl
Save me some sympathy
'Cause it's comin down
All around
Yeah, comin down
All around
I'm comin down
Are you gonna come around?
VERSE
Tell me
How it was before we lived
Our life in repeats
And nicotine dreams
Lately
It doesn't always come so easily
We've all gotta bleed
It's not like a movie
Caught in the city
In the thick of it all
I'll save you some sympathy
'Cause it's comin down
All around
Yeah, comin down
All around
I'm comin down
Are you gonna come around?
VERSE
Tonight
Clearing conscience still and stark
Beneath the spotlight
Let em' burn bright
If only
In the morning we could
Find the time to breathe
CHORUS
Caught in the city
Lost in the sprawl
Save me some sympathy
'Cause it's comin down
All around
Yeah, comin down
All around
I'm comin down
Are you gonna come around?

| Move with You |
VERSE
Draw the curtain
It's our favourite song
Pull me in and I'll
Move with you
Like our first dance
All I feel is you
Pull me in and I'll
Move with you
CHORUS
Oh I could
Die here
I could
Die here
In your arms
Tonight
VERSE
Hold me closer
Taking over love
Disarm me
With your touch
It's magnetic
We're electric love
Dancin'
In the dark
CHORUS
Oh I could
Die here
I could
Die here
In your arms
Tonight
INTERLUDE
CHORUS
Draw the curtain
It's our favourite song
Pull me in and I'll
Move with you
