ALBUM LYRICS
Psycho:
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter
What's that you say, what's that you say
You're going down 'cause I don't need this
I never have my say when you're around
When you're around you make me nervous
My stomach is churning; learning to change feels strange
This is not my style
You're better than what you do
You're better than what you say
If I can find a way to never see you it's not okay
You're better than what you do
You're better than what you say
So why am I always the psycho in this case
Psycho
I know I'm not your psycho
You'll be just what you see, oh
In me you see your psycho
Psycho
If I could fake it I wouldn't hurt you now
But these circles you've turned me in have led me to the ground
And now I wouldn't know what to say if I could say it all
And I don't wanna put all my faith just to trip and fall
And I can see you're gonna keep thinking that you have it all
But
You're better than what you do
You're better than what you say
If I can find a way to never see you it's not okay
You're better than what you do
You're better than what you say
So why am I always the psycho in this case
Psycho
I know I'm not your psycho
You'll be just what you see, oh
In me you see your psycho
Psycho
My instincts haven't failed me yet but still I gotta question your intent you say one thing and mean another; I'm the girl so why do I bother? I have got the 'in' on you 'cause I'm not scared. Bless your prayer; I'm ready to place a sign 'be careful' on your forehead because you refuse to change from what you said, take her to bed she'll be mislead. Her pain will be on your head. Stop placing blame your psycho shame won't keep your birthday card away. Sorry buddy, I can't take nonsense from one who was my honey.
Don't tell me I'm a psycho when I'm not the one who's always running
So if you want me in your life you've gotta treat me like one of your guys
I know I'm not your Psycho
You'll be just what you see, oh
In me you see your psycho
Psycho
The Best:
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter, Ignacio Elisavetsky
Why do people say things that they don't mean?
Why do people mean things that they won't say?
Every time it happens something falls away
So why would someone act like this and think that it's okay?
I failed to be
All the things you thought I would always be
Don't wait for me
I put too much blame on the past
Listen to me
The best is gone as far as I can see
It's not the same as it was yesterday
I run away for now to hide my pain
And still my thoughts are drifting far away
If I could wake then I would see what I've become
I failed to be
All the things you thought I would always be
Don't wait for me
I put too much blame on the past
Listen to me
The best is gone as far as I can see
I would give you a chance
I could change my life
Don't know what I want
Scared for me
I'm not used to this path
Life broke me down
I've been given love
I'm not ready
I failed to be
All the things you thought I would always be
Don't wait for me
I put too much blame on the past
Listen to me
The best is gone as far as I can see
Tell Me You're Lucky:
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter
Why can't I cross a little ocean now?
Why don't I know exactly what I want in life?
I know I'm luckier than most
I'm lucky
You told me
Don't see yourself when I see
Your eyes laugh
Then you sigh
Life's alright
Please tell me you're lucky
Every time I look around and see
People staring
They're looking at me
I don't want to ask why
I want to trust myself
My friends, my dreams, my life
'Cause I'm lucky
You told me
Don't see yourself when I see
Your eyes laugh
Then you sigh
Life's alright
Please tell me you're lucky
You're lucky
You're lucky
Don't see yourself when I see
Your eyes laugh
Then you sigh
Life's alright
Please tell me you're lucky
You're luckier (so tell me)
Luckier (so tell me)
Luckier (so tell me)
Luckier than most
Tell me you're lucky
Hired Gun:
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter, Ami Carpenter
Wake up
How do I start, I've got something to say
I have a feeling that we've lost our way
My clue
I don't ever dream with you
I give up
I'm ready to trade in for a new version
Pardon me
Did you think I jumped the gun?
It's not true
I'm leaving the gun to you
I need your help
'Cause to leave
I need for you to take the lead
I want you to believe it's my plan
I want you to be my backdoor man
I need you to be my hired gun
I want you to see you're not the one
I need you to be my hired gun
You place
Everything on my head, leave me alone
I never hurt you, maybe by mistake
We're only
Less than a step away
I need your help
'Cause to leave
I need for you to take the lead
I want you to believe it's my plan
I want you to be my backdoor man
I need you to be my hired gun
I want you to see you're not the one
I need you to be my hired gun
You're pushing me away; doesn't happen every day that you decide you want to betray you're best friend, and the love of your life wouldn't stay if you pulled a knife, if you pulled a knife
La la la la
I hired
La la la la
I'm firing you
You look them in the face your eyes tell untruths 'cause you're an actor, you only serve yourself, an actor, you keep me on the shelf; act for me now
An actor, lets have some fun
I want you to be my hired gun
I need your help
'Cause to leave
I need for you to take the lead
I want you to believe it's my plan
I want you to be my backdoor man
I need you to be my hired gun
I want you to see you're not the one
I need you to be my hired gun
Innocent Eyes:
Lyrics by Alex Lato
Why does it happen?
Can't ever stop asking
Why we have to see these chains
On women and children
We cannot ignore them
No, why'd you have to live this way?
Whatever it takes to change a life
Whatever it takes to mend the heart
It's all we need to find
'Cause we will stop this rolling stone with love
It's all we need to know tonight
We can't ignore the sight of the innocent eyes
Talk of redemption
Do bars ever help much?
Can cages ever fix their lives?
God offers salvation
His only mistake:
We're fighting for our human rights
Whatever it takes to change a life
Whatever it takes to mend the heart
It's all we need to find
'Cause we will stop this rolling stone with love
It's all we need to know tonight
We can't ignore the sight of the innocent eyes
Lalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalala (whatever it takes)
Lalalalalalalalala (whatever it takes)
Lalalalalalalalala (whatever it takes)
Whatever it takes to change a life
Whatever it takes to mend the heart
It's all we need to find
'Cause we will stop this rolling stone with love
It's all we need to know tonight
We can't ignore the sight of the innocent eyes
We can't ignore the sight of the innocent eyes
Open Up:
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter, Ami Carpenter
I see you
Maybe you didn't want me to
But we can't choose who to love
You see me
Though you pretended not to
I'm that girl you're scared to love
But in the night are you restless, pacing, thinking of me again and again?
You're not fooling anybody
You don't know your own desire
There's a world beyond your memory
Open up your eyes
Open up
Give a try
You'll see time passing you by
And your words flow to my heart
You can't see
All those words affecting me
Changes won't tear you apart
But in the night are you restless, pacing, thinking of me again and again?
You're not fooling anybody
You don't know your own desire
There's a world beyond your memory
Open up your eyes
Open up
You'd better hold on (hold on to me)
'Cause you don't know what you've got
You think I don't see
But do you see me?
You're not fooling anybody
You don't know your own desire
There's a world beyond your memory
Open up your eyes
Open up
Days Go By:
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter
Growing up in the wilderness
Watching cows graze near the gardens
Every day is different here
Days go by
Sitting out on the front steps
Thinking 'bout a long day at work
Every day is different here
Days go by
The hours roll on and off again, days go by
There's so much to do
There's so much to say
How does it feel when you're making your way?
When everything's right
Then people can say
Look at that girl
She's making her way
This excitement leads to sleepless nights
Sunny days with windy evenings
Every day is different here
Days go by
Remembering the place you came from
Thanking those who helped you find your way
Every day is different here
Days go by
The hours roll on and off again, days go by
There's so much to do
There's so much to say
How does it feel when you're making your way?
When everything's right
Then people can say
Look at that girl
She's making her way
There's so much to do
There's so much to say
How does it feel when you're making your way
Days go by
They multiply
And as you walk down the street confidence shines
I grew up in the wilderness
No more stars to twinkle in my night
But every day is different here
There's so much to say
How does it feel when you're making your way?
When everything's right
Then people can say
Look at that girl
She's making her way
It's Okay (To Know You):
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter
I have so many words to tell you
I have so many thoughts to share
And I believe everything you told me
Even though you don't like me to think you're always there
I know you feel me
I know you're singing inside
And we agree it's so scary, so
Give me a little hope and love to feed these empty years
Is it okay to get to know you?
I've tried to act the way I thought that you would want to see
But is it okay for me to find me?
'Cause I know you'll find me someday
You'll be ready and I'll be there
And we'll sing some songs for old times sake
Never a need and never a care
I know you feel me
I know you're singing inside
And we agree it's so scary, so
Give me a little hope and love to feed these empty years
Is it okay to get to know you?
I've tried to act the way I thought that you would want to see
But is it okay for me to find me?
I have so many words to tell you
But there's no hurry I know now
Time will heal the soul and make us older
We've gotta live right now
I know you feel me
I know you're singing inside
And we agree it's so scary, so
Give me a little hope and love to feed these empty years
Is it okay to get to know you?
I've tried to act the way I thought that you would want to see
But is it okay for me to find me?
Return:
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter
Tell me why
You look so sad
Tell me why
You don't understand
You need to cry
Let it all out
It's time to start over
Start over
Return to the things you love, yeah
Return, you know I love ya
Take all your sad thoughts and give them all away
You're ready now
You can move on
Well I'm still here
I'm listening to your song
I'll cry with you
Let it all out
It's time to start over
Start over
Return to the things you love, yeah
Return, you know I love ya
Take all your sad thoughts and give them all away
Return to the things you love, yeah
Return, you know I love ya
Take all your sad thoughts and give them all away
'Cause you have so many places to go
During which you'll always know
I'm still here
I'm here to see you through your life
So Return to the things you love, yeah
Return, you know I love ya
Take all your sad thoughts and give them all away
Return to the things you love, yeah
Return, you know I love ya
Take all your sad thoughts and give them all away
Walk Away:
Lyrics by Elle Carpenter, Ami Carpenter
I took a walk by the ocean
It made me scared to keep going
'Cause I'm not where I want to be
I don't know what I'm doing anymore
These things take time
And life it don't always rhyme
These people, these places they won't go away
My thoughts drag me deep down to stay
I walk and I cry, these salt tears they won't dry
Oh why do I walk away?
I wish I'd just seen him lying there
Then at least, he'd know I care
But what happened I see clear
And in my mind I just don't belong anywhere
These things take time
And life it don't always rhyme
These people, these places they won't go away
My thoughts drag me deep down to stay
I walk and I cry, these salt tears they won't dry
Oh why do I walk away?
When everything's new
When everything's strange
You want to trust yourself
Life seems so dangerous
Remember the things that make you grow and push to learn
Love each day and don't walk away
These things take time
And life it don't always rhyme
These people, these places they won't go away
My thoughts drag me deep down to stay
I walk and I cry, these salt tears they won't dry
Oh why do I walk away?
The Ones:
Lyrics by Andreas Carlsson
I work the crowd
Sometimes laugh out loud
Yeah, I keep on smiling
But my heart is breaking up inside me
I hear you're well
I guess they all fell for this big stupidity
'Cause aren't you feeling just like me?
We were the ones
Time cannot erase
No on takes your place
Are you waiting up for me?
We were the ones
Careless having fun
You're the best mistake that I made
I don't care about what they say
'Cause we were the ones
Love can be so damn cruel
Playing tricks fooling you
When it's 'bout to fade out
Every 'I'll be better' makes no difference
Couldn't make it stay
Neither could it go away
Had to crash into a wall
Had to take the hardest fall
To see what's undeniable
We were the ones
Time cannot erase
No on takes your place
Are you waiting up for me?
We were the ones
Careless having fun
You're the best mistake that I made
I don't care about what they say
'Cause we were the ones
Lived every moment to the max
Love was only you somehow
I wish we wouldn't spent it better
Saved a bit for now
We were the ones
Time cannot erase
No one takes your place
Are you waiting up for me?
We were the ones (are you waiting up for me?)
You're the best mistake that I made
I don't care about what they say
We were the ones
Time cannot erase
No on takes your place
Are you waiting up for me?
We were the ones
Careless having fun
You're the best mistake that I made
I don't care about what they say
'Cause we were the ones
