IF THIS ISN’T LOVE, IF THIS ISN’T LIFE
THEN WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

NOT WHAT THE OTHERS WANT?

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

middle allie
I DON’T KNOW! IT’S NOT EASY FOR ME

middle noah
IT’S NOT EASY FOR ME, NO ONE SAID IT’D BE EASY

BUT I WANT EVERY SECOND OF THE BAD AND GOOD

I WANT ALL OUR DAYS TO BE SIDE BY SIDE
THAT SLIDE INTO YESTERDAYS
RIGHT INTO MEMORIES

MAKING A MESSY BEAUTIFUL LIFE
I JUST WANT ALL OF YOU
ALL OF US
INSIDE THIS HOUSE I BUILT UNTIL WE’RE GONE

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS JUST WALK BACK UP THESE STAIRS.

…GOODBYE, ALLIE.

MY DAYS

middle allie
WHERE AM I
WHERE AM I GOING
IS IT SOMEWHERE THAT I WANT TO GO
AND WHEN I GET THERE
IS THAT WHERE HAPPY IS
OR IS IT SOMEWHERE I ALREADY KNOW

SOMETIMES I FEEL
LIKE I CRY WITHOUT A NOISE
SOMETIMES I FEEL
LIKE SOMEBODY CHOSE MY CHOICE

I HAVE TO RUN AWAY
I HAVE TO SIT AND STAY
I WANT TO LIVE A LIFE
WHERE I’M ALLOWED TO SAY
THAT I’M PROUD OF THE WAY
THAT I SPENT MY DAYS

I CAN FEEL SOMETHING GROWING
IT IS SMALL BUT IT’S SHIFTING THE GROUND
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I COULD HEAR IT
BUT IT’S BACK, IT’S MY SOUND

SOMETIMES I FEEL
LIKE I LOST MY ONLY VOICE
BUT THEN I REALIZE
ONLY I CAN CHOOSE MY CHOICE

I HAVE TO RUN AWAY
I HAVE TO SIT AND STAY
I WANT TO LIVE A LIFE
WHERE I’M ALLOWED TO SAY
THAT I’M PROUD OF THE WAY
THAT I SPENT MY DAYS

DAYS
ALL WE EVER REALLY GET ARE
DAYS TO DREAM
AND DAYS TO LOSE
I JUST NEED TO CHOOSE MY
TIME

I HAVE TO RUN AWAY
I HAVE TO STAY
I‘M GOING TO LIVE A LIFE
WHERE I AM PROUD TO SAY

THAT I FOLLOWED MY JOY,
I FOLLOWED MY HEART,
I LIVED THIS ONE WILD LIFE,
I RIPPED IT APART,
I PUSHED THROUGH THE CORNERS
WITH NO APOLOGIES

AND FIN’LLY I CAN SAY,
I KNOW THE WAY
I’LL SAY THAT I LOVED THE WAY
THAT I SPENT MY DAYS

I LOVE YOU MORE

middle noah
I, I’M NOT THE ONE TO RUN AWAY
IN FACT I’M ALWAYS HERE TO STAY

WATCHING BIRDS FLY BY
YOU’LL ALWAYS BE MY HOME
I WANNA GO HOME

youngers / middles
AND I WILL CARRY YOU HOME
