| Lyric | Song |
| 'And it's strange / how clouds that look like mountains in the sky / are next to mountains anyway.' | |
| 'So the good boys and girls take the so called 'right track' / faded white hats, grabbing credits and maybe transfers / they read all the books but can't find the answers.' | |
| 'Some need the exhibition / some have to know they tried / it's the chemical weapon for the war that's raging on inside.' | |
| 'Here I stand / six feet small / and smiling 'cause I'm scared as hell.' | |
| 'I could be wrong, I could be ready / but if I take my heart's advice / I should assume it's still unsteady.' | |
| 'Was there a second of time I looked around? / Did I sail through or drop my anchor down? / Was anything enough to kiss the ground / And say I'm here now and she's here now?' | |
| 'Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go / one generation's length away from fighting life out on my own.' | |
| 'It's so hard to beat the system / when you're standing at a distance.' | |
| 'I quit every game I played / but forgive me love / I can't turn and walk away.' | |
| 'Looked outside at the car in the drive / and the suitcase on the back seat inside / sure it's so she can't look out behind at the road.' | |
| 'I'll never know what makes this man / with all the love that his heart can stand / dream of ways to throw it all away.' | |
| 'When autumn comes, it doesn't ask / it just walks in where it left you last / and you never know when it starts / until there's fog inside the glass around your summer heart.' | |
| 'I know what youll say, / 'this won't last longer than the rest of the day' / but you're wrong this time.' | |
| 'Drop his name / push it in a twist the knife again / watch my face / as I pretend to feel no pain.' | |
| 'No way November will see our goodbye / when it comes to December it's obvious why / no one wants to be alone at Christmas time.' | |
| 'I understand I wasn't part of the plan / a dollar short a minute early / but I am your man.' | |
| 'You can be mad in the morning / or the afternoon instead / but don't leave 98 and 6 degrees of separation from you baby.' | |
| 'She thinks I can't see the smile that she's faking / and poses for pictures that aren't being taken / I loved your gray sweatpants, no makeup, so perfect.' | |
| 'I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire / if this is what it takes to take me even higher / then I'll come through like I do / when the world keeps testing me.' | |
| 'I could have met you in a sandbox / could have passed you on the sidewalk / could I have missed my chance / and watched you walk away?' | |
