You’re layin low now Said your sorries and laid out just how The story goes and left me to think about How all along I was wrong, I was wrong After careful consideration Let me adjust all of my expectations Because all I really know about you now is that I was wrong, I was wrong – Strange, I thought I knew you, Oh Strange I thought I knew you So strange, I thought I knew you You never know anybody do you? I must’ve misread every word Or was I misled down every turn? If only I could go back and see where I went wrong, I went wrong But you were the king of my confusion Spun out a thread of my delusion Never giving anything away at all until You were gone, so far gone Strange, I thought I knew you, Oh Strange I thought I knew you So strange, I thought I knew you You never know anybody do you? While you’re slippin through the cracks I’m tryin to get you back If I could just relax I could hold onto you Strange, I thought I knew you, Oh Strange I thought I knew you So strange, I thought I knew you You never know anybody do you? Strange, I thought I knew you, Oh Strange I thought I knew you So strange, I thought I knew you You never know anybody do you?

What was I telling you? Trying to get so close to you What did you say to me? Trying to have your way with me I forgot to tell you Woah, in the morning Something bout the light Oh, In the morning, Doesn’t look quite right Oh, in the morning When I wake up next to you I’ve been blackin out my blues, I’ve been blackin out my blues You poured me another one, One I won’t recover from I didn’t want to fall behind, But then I lost the story line I forgot to tell you.. Woah, in the morning Something bout the light Oh, In the morning, Doesn’t look quite right Oh, in the morning When I wake up next to you I’ve been blackin out my blues, I’ve been blackin out my blues What was I trying to make? I didn’t make any memories, last night I know I was wide awake, But I let you get away, with me, last night No, no, no no…(3) Woah, in the morning Something bout the light Oh, In the morning, Doesn’t look quite right Oh, in the morning When I wake up next to you I’ve been blackin out my blues, I’ve been blackin out my blues

Reckless 04:08
Drivin’ too fast, chewing on nicotine You had cool plans, somewhere to take me So of course I packed a bag, And ignored all of the red flags Keeping all the windows open Couldn’t bear to see them close, I couldn’t keep myself from hoping Even while I felt so cold Were you asleep at the wheel, all along Now I see you in the rearview, and I got you so wrong, Cuz you were pickin’ up speed, And slammin’ the brakes down, You drive so reckless, I should’ve known Are you thinkin’ of me, Puttin’ my foot down? Cuz you drive, so reckless, You shouldn’t be out here on these roads I don’t know what you mean, don’t know how to move in reverse So go on and flee the scene, I’ll hitch a ride with someone else I’m tryin’ to take down all the details, I’m throwin’ rocks at your windshield Were you asleep at the wheel, all along Now I see you in the rearview, and I got you so wrong
 Cuz you were pickin up speed, And slammin the brakes down, You drive so reckless, I should’ve known Are you thinkin of me, Puttin’ my foot down? Cuz you drive, so reckless, You shouldn’t be out here on these roads You shouldn’t be out here on these roads I’ll take my broken parts to the auto shop of Aching hearts and poor decisions If I see you there, I’ll be sure to key your car Wondering did you find another passenger, and will she cause the same division By asking you, just what you are? You shouldn’t be driving, you shouldn’t be driving.. Cuz you were pickin up speed, And slammin the brakes down, You drive so reckless, I should’ve known Are you thinkin of me, Puttin’ my foot down? Cuz you drive, so reckless, You shouldn’t be out here on these roads You shouldn’t be out here on these roads You shouldn’t be out here on these roads You shouldn’t be out here on these roads

Mind On Fire 04:50
I am weightless, I’ve got no shadow, I’m so, far ahead of my own fears When I wake up in the afterglow, You wouldn’t know me, you wouldn’t know me, after all these years Don’t need no sleep, I’ve been up for a week Don’t need no sleep ... Cuz in this long light of summer, my mind is on fire.. my mind is on fire In this hot white, Technicolor, I never get tired, Cuz my mind is on fire, my mind is on fire I can do anything, I’ve got all the answers I just can’t put ‘em down into words And it’s a funny thing, if you saw me dancing How I cut like a knife, through the world Don’t need no sleep, I’ve been up for a week Don’t need no sleep .. Cuz in this long light of summer, my mind is on fire.. my mind is on fire In this hot white, Technicolor, I never get tired, cuz my mind is on fire, my mind is on fire If you see the warning signs, Won’t you let me know, won’t you let me know Sneak up on me, then I’m so alive, won’t you let me go, won’t you let me go, woooahhh .. Cuz in this long light of summer, my mind is on fire.. my mind is on fire In this hot white, Technicolor, I never get tired, I never get tired Cuz in this long light of summer, my mind is on fire.. my mind is on fire In this hot white, Technicolor, I never get tired, cuz my mind is on fire, my mind is on fire.
