I open my eyes
I try to see but I’m blinded by the white light
I can’t remember how
I can’t remember why
I’m lying here tonight

And I can’t stand the pain
And I can’t make it go away
No I can’t stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody’s screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I’m slipping off the edge
I’m hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can’t explain what happened
And I can’t erase the things that I’ve done
No I can’t

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
I’ve got no where to run
The night goes on
As I’m fading away
I’m sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I want to start by letting you know this
because of you my life has a purpose
you helped be who i am today
I see myself in every word you say
Sometimes it feels like nobody gets me
Trapped in a world where everyone hates me
There's so much that I'm going through
I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you

[Chorus]
I was broken
I was choking
I was lost
This Song saved my life
I was bleeding stopped believing
could have died
This song saved my life
I was down
I was drowning
but it came on just in time
this song saved my life

Sometimes I feel like you've known me forever
You always know how to make me feel better
Because of you my dad and me
are so much closer than we used to be
You're my escape when I'm stuck in a small town
I turn you up whenever I feel down
you let me know like no one else
That it's ok to be myself

[Chorus]

You'll never know what it means to me
that I'm not alone
That I'll never have to be

[Chorus 2x]

Oh, Oh
Take me back, take me back
Oh yeah
Back to summer paradise

My heart is sinking
As I'm lifting up
Above the clouds away from you
And I can't believe I'm leaving
Oh I don't kno-kno-know what I'm gonna do

But someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand





Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-da-da-da-da

Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh

(Tell 'em)

My soul is broken
Streets are frozen
I can't stop these feelings melting through

And I'd give away a thousand days, oh
Just to have another one with you

What'd you say

Well real life can wait
(it can wait)
We're crashing like waves
(uh-huh)
We're playing in the sand
(me and you)
Holding your hand

Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-da-da-da-da

Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh

Yeah I remember sunny mornings
And summer evenings
Now you're not next to me
And I am freezing
Was it real?
Oh baby, tell me, was I dreaming?
How can you show me paradise,
When I'm leaving?

Now my heartbeat is sinking
Hope's shrinking
When I try to speak no words
Lip-syncing
Hope this is not just wishful thinking
Tell me that you care
And I'll be there in a heartbeat

Someday
I will find my way back
To where your name
Is written in the sand

Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go

Cause I remember every sunset
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-da-da-da-da

Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat

I remember when we first kissed
How I didn't wanna leave your lips
And how I've never ever felt so high
Singing La-da-da-da-da

Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat
(summer paradise)
Oh-oh
I'll be there in a heartbeat

Look at me and listen close
So I can tell you how I feel before I go
Just a year, it's not much time
For me to show you I am proud that you are mine

I wish I had known the future in my heart
Was just about to start

Say tomorrow
I can't follow you there
Just close your eyes
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always near you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me

Every lock, on every door
I put them there to try and hide you from the world
And you kicked, yeah, you screamed
You never understood you're everything to me

I just hope you know the future in your heart
Is just about to start

Say tomorrow
I can't follow you there
Just close your eyes and
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always near you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me

No looking back when I am gone
Follow your heart, it's never wrong
No looking back when I am gone
Don't second guess the note you're on

Out of time
All out of fight
You are the only thing in life that I got right

Say tomorrow
I can't follow you there
Just close your eyes and
And sing for me
I will hear you
Always near you
And I'll give you the words
Just sing for me

Just close your eyes
And sing for me

I can not hold this anymore
My hands are tired of only waiting to let go
And I am waiting... still

I used to know which way to turn
You were a light inside a tunnel in my head
I try to follow... still
I try to follow... still

It's hard to see you, we are older now
And when I find you, you just turn around
This is a black and white of you I've found
I hang you up and then I pull you down
I hang you up and then I pull you down

No more apologies from me
My arms are tired of picking up what I put down
You're all I think of... still

I'm gonna miss you everyday
I turn my back on anyone who won't believe
And it gets lonely... still
It gets lonely... still

It's hard to see you, we are older now
And when I find you, you just turn around
This is a black and white of you I've found
I hang you up and then I pull you down
I hang you up and then I pull you down

I get lost sometimes
Another year flies by
But I know if I try
Memories of the light in your eyes
Can take me back in time

It's hard to see you, we are older now
And when I find you, you just turn around
This is a black and white of you I found
I hang you up and then I pull you down
It's hard to see you we are older now (We are older now)
And when I find you, you just turn around (You turn around)
This is a black and white of you I found (You I found)
I hang you up and then I pull you down
(Pull you down)
I hang you up and then I pull you down
(Pull you down)
I hang you up and then I pull you down
(Pull you down)

I don't hear music anymore
My ears are tired of all the pictures in the words
Cause you are in them... still
