1. THE FIRST TIME WE EVER MET

There's something more, then something less
Yeah, it's never obvious
Cause when I think about you,
It's like the first time
You've seen my worst
I've seen your best
It's never been as obvious
As when I think about the first time
We ever met

(Just like the first time)
She's got that temper,
But I've got that tender way to say
That we've got a problem
Cause we know eachother all too well,
But what a contadiction
We always say we did it to ourselves
But when I'm not with you,
I can think of nothin' else
(Ohhh!)

It's something more, then something less
Yeah, it's never obvious
Cause when I think about you,
It's like the first time
You've seen my worst
I've seen your best
It's never been as obvious
As when I think about the first time
We ever met

(Just like the first time)
Everything's quiet
When there's a thousand things to say
But dear, I don't buy it
Cause I'm daring bottoms
??
We always say we did it to ourselves
But when I'm not with you,
I can think of nothin' else
(Ohhh!)

It's something more, then something less
Yeah, it's never obvious
Cause when I think about you,
It's like the first time
You've seen my worst
I've seen your best
It's never been as obvious
As when I think about the first time
We ever met

It always comes back to that first time (the first time)
When every glass came with a sigh
And every boy told me to try
The timing never seemed to go right (go right)
Cause how could my love ever help,
When I barley know myself
(Ohhh!)

It's something more, then something less
Yeah, it's never obvious
Cause when I think about you,
It's like the first time
You've seen my worst
I've seen your best
It's never been as obvious
As when I think about the first time
Ohhh,

It's something more, then something less
Yeah, it's never obvious
Cause when I think about you,
It's like the first time
You've seen my worst
I've seen your best
It's never been as obvious
As when I think about the first time
We ever met


2. I FOUND MYSELF TODAY

I will admit
I tend to be a little selfish
But only when it comes to
Something that i couldn't miss
The hardest part is trying
To know what I really want
(Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh)
So I'll apologize ahead
For dragging you along
(Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh)

(Chorus)
Hey, theres just no better way
When theres nothing left to
Say, That you take back
All the mistakes
I guess I finally
Found myself today

I know the feeling to be
Caught up in the motion
I often wonder if it's
Instinct or addiction
I'm slowly learning how to fake
I even have a clue
(Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh)
Because I'm supposed to be
The very best at what I do
(Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh)

(Chorus)
Hey, theres just no better way
When theres nothing left to
Say, That you take back
All the mistakes
I guess I finally
Found myself today

I always feel
That the cloud around me
Is so free beneath my feet
And I must fall through
But I think I'm might meant to
If thats what it would take
For me to see

(Chorus) x2
Hey, theres just no better way
When theres nothing left to
Say, That you take back
All the mistakes
I guess I finally
Found myself today

I think I finally
Found myself today


3. SHE BELIEVED (NEVER IN HERSELF)

Come back, my dear
Come back and make my world again,
Your voice so clear, your voice reminds me of a friend
You had a heart like a hero, You sang a song that only I could ever know,
Where would I be without you, where would I be?

How could the softest heart be separated by the word goodbye?
She believed in Heaven, yeah,
She believed in everybody else,
She believed in miracles, but never let them help
Honey, Honey take my heart like money and run,
Honey, Honey take my heart like money and run,
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in herself

There's no denial,
You brought the world a little love,
And fought each mile, and fought the fight more than my love
It was so much bigger than a cure, it wasn't bigger than a heart that isn't sure
Where would I be without you, where would I be?

How could the softest heart be separated by the word goodbye?
She believed in Heaven, yeah,
She believed in everybody else,
She believed in miracles, but never let them help, whoa,
Honey, Honey take my heart like money and run,
Honey, Honey take my heart like money and run,
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in herself

I wish I could (I wish I could) give what you gave to me,
I wish I said, (I wish I said) "Please don't leave. (Please don't leave) Please don't leave. Don't leave me."

She believed in Heaven, yeah,
She believed in everybody else,
She believed in miracles, but never let them help, whoa
Honey, Honey take my heart like money and run,
Honey, Honey take my heart like money and run,
She believed in everybody else but never in her, never in her, never in her, never in herself.


4. THE SAFEST PLACE

I take a closer look around
Shaking at the sight of what I found
Nothing is safe, nothing is where it should be
Tell me don't keep moving on
Cause you'll regret when you find you're wrong
But I'll be the same when sanity and chaos meet halfway

Why should I find the safest place to rest my head?
Cause everytime I do my dreams are left unsaid
They keep pulling, screaming begging just to take me away
Why should I try to find the safest place?

Not going to leave those doubts behind
They still seem to haunt me all the time
Nothing will go, nothing will leave me alone
I had a dream about a day when I am not afraid to look away
Or stay the same
And I will know I'm in the safest place

Why should I find the safest place to rest my head?
Cause everytime I do my dreams are left unsaid
They keep pulling, screaming begging just to take me away
Why should I try to find the safest place to rest my head?
Take me away
Oh, to the safest place
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

Why should I find the safest place to rest my head?
Cause everytime I do my dreams are left unsaid
They keep pulling, screaming begging just to take me away
Why should I try to find the safest place?

Why should I find the safest place to rest my head?
Cause everytime I do my dreams are left unsaid
They keep pulling, screaming begging just to take me away
Why should I try to find the safest place?


5. I'LL BE THERE

You've felt alone since you were only seven
Your mother didn't have a clue what to do
You cried each night until you were eleven
You prayed that God would bring your daddy back to you

It got much worse when you were in high school
From guy to guy, you wondered why you never felt a thing
You wondered if you'd ever find a lover who'd someday
Get down on his knees, holding that diamond ring

This summer's taking me to California
But I won't go until you know that what I say is true
When everything you've ever loved has left you,
I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for you

Your senior year, you and your friends went crazy
But then you found out who your friends really were
You were betrayed by everyone that mattered
So you drank until it all became a blur
But don't forget about when I first met you
Well, I can see a pain too deep to kiss away
You thought that I would be another let down
So here I am, proving to you that I am here to stay

This summer's taking me to California
But I won't go until you know that what I say is true
When everything you've ever loved has left you,
I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for you

I don't wanna leave you lonely
I just wanna be right here
Even if you don't believe me,
I will try to make it clear

This summer's taking me to California
But I won't go until you know that what I say is true
When everything you've ever loved has left you,
I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for...

This summer's taking me to California
But I won't go until you know that what I say is true
When everything you've ever loved has left you,
I'll be there, yeah, I'll be there for you

This summer's taking me to California
But I won't go until you know that what I say is true
When everything you've ever loved has left you,
I'll be there, I'll be there for you


6. THE FIRST TIME WE EVER MET (ACOUSTIC VERSION)
