Pick me up and take me out, there’s nothing left here in this town, for us. we’ll leave it all and go out on our own, until we feel it in our bones. All my life, I've always known, all my heart was yours alone. and we have waited long enough... hurry, love. lay your head against my chest, feel a heart that never rests, for you. take my hand and place it over yours, you will never want for more. ‘Cause all my life, I've always known, all my heart was yours alone. and we have waited long enough... hurry, love. All my life, I've always known, all my heart was yours alone. and we have waited long enough... hurry, love. Always for you, Always for you, I waited for you. Copyright 2013 ScottAllanKnost Music.

Hook 03:26
I can hear your voice, and I can taste your skin. I have no other choice, but to let you in. even though I know, you won't take a second look. I'm forever, on your hook. I can see our lives, bright as the sun. the blue inside your eyes, the words on my tongue. and even though you'll go, like I knew you would. I'll wait forever, on your hook. once in a lifetime, someone makes you feel the way I do. and I really don't mind, if I wait all mine, for you. and I can't look away, when you're in the room. I know just what to say, if could only move. and even though I try, I know that I should. leave "forever", on your hook. Copyright 2013 ScottAllanKnost Music. BMI.

walk with me, tell me everything tonight. talk to me, tell me do you dream of flying? high above the city lights at night, looking down on what you have survived. no one wants to be alone. I’m feelin’ like, I feel so out of place here. I don’t recognize, the version of my face in the mirror. I ask him does he know just how far he’s come? or does he even realize? no one wants to be alone. but everyone is born that way, spend their whole lives trying to escape. fall in love, skin their knees, and get back up again. beggin, please. no one wants to be alone. and so it is, we look up at the stars and make a wish.. for more than to exist, we search for who we are in a kiss. from the one that we had only dreamt about, every night, while they did the same... no one wants to be alone.

She walks into a room, lights it up like a cigarette. a wild child in bloom, it's not her time to wake up yet. feels their eyes on her, they burn like the sun, burn like the sun. she entertains the thought, of being someone's "only one" again. Everybody knows but they won't say. Why it is, that she's not. "I'm a puzzle by design, though I'd rather be a work of art for every piece I find, another seems to fall apart. I just wanna be a bird, and fly away, fly away. wanna feel the warmth, the warmth of the sun, on my face." Everybody knows but they won't say. Why it is, that she can't. with blurry eyes, she really tried this time, to find out why she just can't be, what they need. everyone is the same, we have a fear that eats us alive. but we toss around the shame, to make us feel like we survived. our own private little war, that breaks our heart, so we break their heart. when all we ever want, is to be someone's "only one" from the start. Everybody knows but they won't say. What it is, that they want. Copyright 2013 ScottAllanKnost Music. BMI.

All that weight and all that time, you run away just to stand in line, at a club you hate but you won’t be mine, all that weight and all that time, where does it go to? (hey, club girl) I don’t know what you want me to do, when you’d rather stand there looking cute. acting like it’s not his fault, but your heart breaks when he don’t call. I say you gotta move on ‘cause he don’t want it, he dont want it, now you’re staring daggers at me for being honest, girl be honest... watch the scene in a Hanoi bar, all burned out like a falling star. share a smile for a couple of drinks, his hand on your leg, you know what it means. but still you act like you don’t care, you run your fingers through your hair. when you leave in the morning he won’t even know you were there...but you were there. and I know, it can be so hard. to let go and be who you are. All that weight and all that time, you run away just to stand in line, at a club you hate but you won’t be mine, all that weight and all that time, where does it go to? hey, club girl!
