License This Song 

• You
  You
  
  Him and her
  Life is turned
  The day I knew you would leave
  I can barely breathe
  Can you hear me scream?
  
  You thrown in all directions
  You epitome of perfection
  She's lost her will (she's lost her will)
  Time is standing still
  
  He walks her home
  Now he walks alone
  The days they turn into years
  The eyes they drown in tears
  Can you hear me scream?
  
  You thrown in all directions
  You epitome of perfection
  She's lost her will (she's lost her will)
  Time is standing still
  
  The way we are, the way we were
  (It's just a shadow of what's wrong)
  The time with you the time is stirred
  (I loved you for, so long)
  The hearts they turn, they turn away
  (She says to go, please, don't you cry)
  Love lost was found, night turns to day
  
  You thrown in all directions
  You epitome of perfection
  She's lost her will
  Time is standing still
  
  You thrown in all directions
  You epitome of perfection
  She's lost her will (she's lost her will)
  Time is standing still
  
  You
  You
  You

• Kiki from Big Spring, Txi thought their first album was GOOD i cant wait for their next one hopefully it will be GREAT
• Melinda from Misawa, United Statesi havent bought there new album but i love their old album it was GREAT!!! i hate the people who love AAR just because they made a great song all of a sudden! i like it when they had shorter hair though now they look like they havnt taken a shower in years but year in the music video it they looked good
  :)
• Dee from Indianapolis, InGREAT album through and through. Not a bad song on it. When I bought it, I listened to it over and over again. One of the few newer bands that I really liked. I'm not sure yet about their sophmore effort though.
• Katarina from Toronto, CanadaI think tyson ritter is hot and expresses himself well through music
• Michael from Pleasantville, Iai know how he feels. the same thing happened to me and i wrote a song about it too. he just needs to hang in there, and keep writing.
• Kristen from Campbellville, Canadaya the video is amazing, ya but so many of his songs are written about his ex, its so sad. Its amazing how he makes you feel like that same feeling he must of had. All their songs seem to be about breaking up but if you look to their earlier songs on same girl, new songs or something along those lines. Pilsbury doughgirl, and girl of my dreams are my favourite.
