You’re not all alone
Don’t concern yourself
With what you can’t control
There’s no time in this life
To wonder what went wrong
When you can’t make it right
It’s alright
You will find
It was worth the wait
When it works out right
Get your peace
With time away
Stay awhile
And see it’s all okay
Let her in like an angel
Cause she’ll watch you
From the skies above
You don’t have to believe
There’s a heaven for you
And I know because you’re just like me
It’s alright
You will find
It was worth the wait
When it works out right
Get your peace
With time away
Stay awhile
And see it’s all okay
It’s alright
You will find
It was worth the wait
When it works out right
Look to the sky
For a daydream high
Find a higher light
And make this life divine

Some spring morning
Help me find the truth
Cause it’s the last I’ll see of you
And I’ll leave in a day or two
And spend the meantime home with you
I’ve sat and stared at the wall for too long
But it never was enough
To get away from thoughts of who we used to be
Before we were only you and me
And the dreams of yesterday
Seem a million miles away
Sunday morning
I leave this mess for good
But I don’t want it
Anymore than you
Abandon the self
Leave behind what once was true
And leave behind the child in me and you
Run away with me tonight
Cause I have no life worth living away from you
And starting over seems so far from now
I still miss the call of elsewhere
But home is all I know
I say I haven’t said enough
But I think I think too much
And yours truly’s never truly loved
Beyond a fleeting touch
Deep into these distant eyes
Memories will only lie
I can only love you if you let me
All I’ll ever ask is that you forget me
Don’t let me let you down
Just let me let you go

Flower Fields
06:07
|
|||
|
Yesterday falls away
The leaves of Autumn too frail to stay
When the colors fade to grey
Where were you to take my pain
I need you now to take the blame
Underneath tomorrow’s rain
You and I won’t be the same
You’ll always be too far away
Never one to be attained
But too close for love to slip away
I need you now again
Let this be the moment
That I find peace
With everything that’s broken
And everyone that I can’t please
There’s nothing left
I hang my head
Silently confess
And all the prayers said
Are laid to rest
Someday I’ll meet you
By the flower fields again
Where no one knows me
And nobody knows I sing
I’ll be there, I swear
I swear I’ll be there someday
I swear I’ll be there someday
Consider me
Solemnly
Remembering
Everything
We used to be
Is all in me
Do you still believe
In me?
Consider me
Solemnly
Remembering
Everything
We used to be
Is all in me
Do you still believe
In me?

Homecoming
03:03
|
|||
|
How am I to face this fear alone?
The hopes all gone to waste
Sinking like stones
I have grown and left my home
And all I have to show
Is the rose-tinted ghost of a memory
As rushing streams of questions
Flow to stormy seas of lies
In silent desperation
All that I can do is sigh
For the precious years I’ve lost
And I have to wonder why
To some higher force above me
That I hardly can define
This is not the end
Of you, my distant friend
Or you, my only love
Although I’d love to play pretend
A little longer now
The isolation called me
And I now shall not decline
Constructing walls of stone
Where once was peace of mind
And a light on the horizon
Seems a distant memory
But I must not let it pass
For the hope is up to me
But I still yearn for who we used to be
This is not the end
Of you, my distant friend
Or you, my only love
Although I’d love to play pretend
A little longer
This is not the end
Of you, my distant friend
Or you, my only love
Although I’d love to play pretend
A little longer now

My Morning Star
03:42
|
|||
|
Breathe out
Take it all in
This is love
This is us
We’ll learn how
To forget
If you just
Take my hand
Hold on
Another day
You’re too real
To slip away
I know you
See your face
You know you
Don’t have to wait
Cause tonight
We’ll be one
We’ll let go
So come on home
Leave behind
All we know
Cause this ain’t the world
That we’re looking for
I’ll die by
Your side
Don’t give it up
Don’t let it slide
Here comes
Another night
The sun will rise
And I’ll sigh
Tomorrow
Comes in waves
The evening
To seal the day
Another hour
To waste away
Until I breathe
Your name
Cause tonight
We’ll be one
We’ll let go
So come on home
Leave behind
All we know
Cause this ain’t the world
That we’re searching for
And nothing
Can drive us away
And nothing
Will tear us apart
Forever change
The life we made
Never change this love
My morning star
My morning star

Living Ghosts
04:02
|
|||
|
A living ghost is in my head
Just as if it never left
They say a soul is never gone
And so the spirit roams my home
And as the daylight passes on
So too does the spirit live on
And in the night when I’m alone
A living ghost will echo on
But I can break away
And find a brighter day
If you just push me away
Never let me go your way
You turned to me and I found you
You spoke through me and I found truth
I found the meaning in my youth
A new perspective in my view
I’ll find home inside your heart
Save my soul, make me whole
I’ll find home inside your mind
Make me whole, save my soul
Save my soul, make me whole
Take me, lord
Save this world
Take me, lord
Save this world
I’ll find home inside your heart
Save my soul, make me whole
I’ll find home inside your mind
Make me whole, save my soul
Save my soul, make me whole
Take me, lord
Save this world
Save this world, lord

Lovesick
04:13

|
At nights I would dream
But I couldn’t sleep
I’d whisper your name
Until the night would weep
Sickly in love
Sickly beautiful
I’ll give it all to you
So far away from me
The evening’s so young
Away from everyone
In everything you do
If the world would set us free
I close my eyes again
My heart begins to race
And somewhere in my head
I see a glowing face
Sickly in love
Sickly beautiful
I’ll give it all to you
So far away from me
The evening’s so young
Away from everyone
In everything you do
If the world would set us free
A sunbeam away
As clouds roll over me
I’d love to hear you say
That you would never leave
Sickly in love
Sickly beautiful
I’ll give it all to you
So far away from me
Show me love is more
Than just a memory
Take me far away
Where I’ll forget those dreams
Show me who you are
Tell me everything
So close to your face
A thousand miles from me

Radio Silence
02:18
|

|
I’d suffer for your love
But you’re radio-silent
Were you raised gently, was it meant to be
you always look at me so grimly, where did i go wrong?
it’s getting hard to stay strong
i’ll write something to sing along
And we can sing it on
why won’t you talk to me?
my vision’s getting blurry
You never need to worry
You always see right through me
I’ll become a new me
But you say you never knew me
i always walk into you blindly
someday i swear you’re gonna be beside me
you always look so deathly
Everything changes when you define me
i always want to make a scene to get you to notice
what happened to us?
as i grew older i grew breathless
you grew faithless
The world is what you make it
why won’t you talk to me?
my vision’s getting blurry
You never need to worry
You always see right through me
I’ll become a new me
But you say you never knew me
Did you ever really know me?

A Picture to Remember
06:55
|
|||
|
Listen close
I know I don’t have to let go alone
Cause you’re here again to take my pain
Away and out of the storm
I’ll take your hand
Promise that you’ll stay until the end
Until I’m gone again, asleep in vain
Dreaming of a feeling that I can’t explain
Oh Ramona
Won’t you tell me what’s inside your little mind
Tell me twice just what goes on in that heart of yours
Cause you’re not so self-assured
But you know just what you’re worth
And you’re lost into the world
Missing everything that made you what you are
As you slip into the stars
And reject the scars that drag you down
Resounding sounds of days gone by
And fall into the sky
As the night retrieves the light
Take a picture to remember what you looked like on the day you saved my life
Talk to me tonight
As we run from our secret paradise
Wipe the tear off of your face
And walk away to another day
Away from me
Because you know I’ll always be
Something you can’t contain
And you know you can’t complain
When it all falls down
Before we hit the ground
Just talk to me one last time
Oh Ramona
Won’t you tell me what’s inside your little mind
Tell me twice just what goes on in that heart of yours
Cause you’re not so self-assured
But you know just what you’re worth
And you’re lost into the world
Missing everything that made you what you are
As you slip into the stars
And reject the scars that drag you down
Resounding sounds of days gone by
And fall into the sky
As the night retrieves the light
Take a picture to remember what you looked like on the day you saved my life
Longing long ago for love I’ve since attained
When nothing else matters, you give me a reason to stay
Identities fade with the lives we’ve made
I’ll never need any other way
We’ll be one someday
Longing evermore to find a way

Burn Away
04:08
|
|||
|
we’re wasting time again
staring at the ceiling till my eyes go numb
Another once in a lifetime moment’s gone
you’ve driven me to write another song about your love
and i don’t wanna hear
anymore goodbyes
I can’t walk away
and let you out of sight
and now i clearly see
i was never yours
but I’m still cruising by
trapped in an afterthought
somethings always wrong
I’ll watch another cigarette burn away like an opportunity
Let the feelings drag on
Now all i see when i look around are all these silhouettes of a daydream
maybe we’ll begin to love one day
maybe you and I will grow someday
until then i’ll stay on the same page
Memorizing every word a second time over
Here’s a little secret
Memories breed regret
Don’t you ever want to
Remember how to forget
Wondering away
All of our remorse and shame
As the night becomes the day
And I wonder if you ever would have stayed
And would you ever have it any other way
Any other way
and i don’t wanna hear
anymore goodbyes
and now i clearly see
i was never yours
and i don’t wanna hear
anymore goodbyes
and now i clearly see
i was never yours
I was never yours
