Afterlife
03:30
|
|||
|
There's a crack in the hemisphere
There's a wrinkle in time
And I'm gliding through to be with you tonight
You're a voice from the stratosphere
I couldn't see you ’til now
When you floated down into my dreams tonight
Oh how can I touch you now
Oh if only you'd show me how
Does the heart have an afterlife
Does it give up the ghost
When you're digging down to open up the past
It doesn't lose what you put inside
It seals up like a drum
And it stores those tears for many years to come
Oh why did I let you go
Oh how did I lose control
Oh why do you make me cry
Oh why do you make me cry
Oh

Quiet Desire
03:11
|
|||
|
You know I won’t be the same again
I’ll never be the same
I turn and see you in every place
In every empty space now
And I try to forget you but I keep on coming back again
I can’t help but want you even though I’ll never have you now
And I’ll never tell you
‘Cause you’ll never see
What this could be
You’ll never feel my love
‘Cause my love is just a quiet desire
My feelings hide behind every word
I never speak my mind now
I want to touch you but you’re out of reach
I wait and bide my time now
And we’re running in circles but I keep on coming round the bend
I’m going the distance even though I’ll never reach the end
And I’ll never tell you
‘Cause you’ll never see
What this could be
You’ll never feel my love
‘Cause my love is just a quiet desire
And you don’t notice me
You don’t see what I see
We’re just friends, we’re gonna stay that way
But when I’m whispering
You can hear my heart sing
You’re gonna love me when I finally say
This can’t stay
This can’t stay just a quiet desire
You know I won’t be the same again
I’ll never be the same

The View
03:54
|

|
You don’t have to be a first time caller
I wanna make you holler
I wanna make you dream
And with our love we’re build this future
We’re gonna make it brighter
Than anything you’ve seen
Oh we’ll never know unless we
Oh we’ll never know unless we try
Oh we’ll never know unless we
Give it wings enough to fly
And in my heart there is a fountain
Overflowing me
It’s a sight to see
And in my heart there is a mountain
Rising up for you
You gotta see the view
You gotta see the view
Well come on show me what you got inside you
Let your feelings guide you
They’ll show you what I mean
Climb on board we’ll take a trip together
I’ll make it so much better
Than any place you’ve been
Oh we’ll never know unless we,
Oh we’ll never know unless we try
Oh we’ll never know unless we
Give it wings enough to fly
And in my heart there is a fountain
Overflowing me
It’s a sight to see
And in my heart there is a mountain
Rising up for you
You gotta see the view
You gotta see the view
And in my heart there is a fountain
Overflowing me
It’s a sight to see
And in my heart there is a mountain
Rising up for you
You gotta see the view
Oh and in my heart there is a mountain
Rising up for you
You gotta see that view
You gotta see the view
Oh you gotta see that view
You gotta see that view

Ferris Wheels Unbound
04:22
|
|||
|
So I heard you've given up
You really don't believe in love
It's all a hoax, a circus ride
An empty box with a note inside
And now no place is far enough
Or high enough, or deep enough
To bury all those memories you've hoarded all these years
So we go round and round
Like Ferris wheels unbound
You can't stop, oh you can't slow down
Some days up then down
I'm leaving all the same
They say I'm going down the drain
Phantom figures haunt these halls
And silence screams when the darkness falls
But Old Man Winter’s got a lot to say
He'll call it off in the month of May
Just in time to see me melt away
So we go round and round
Like Ferris wheels unbound
You can't stop, oh you can't slow down
Some days up then down
I thought I heard your voice today
From thousand miles away
Another senseless casualty
I never wanted anyone to bleed
So we go round and round
Like Ferris wheels unbound
You can't stop, oh you can't slow down
Some days up then down
Some days up then down
Someday we’ll come down
We’ll come down
We’ll come down

Never Say Goodbye
04:05
|
|||
|
It's been a long time coming
And I know what's running through your head
After all this time
We got an uphill climb to make it through
I know I got a lot of work to do
But there’s one thing I can tell you for sure
You're the reason every night and every day
You belong in my life
You're the reason for everything in every way
I'll never let you out of sight
You ought to know I'll always be the one you can rely upon
You ought to know I'm always gonna be here
And I'll never say goodbye
Now I don’t mind saying
That you got me praying for another chance
I know I let you down
I’m in the lost and found ’til you take me back
I ready now to get this back on track
And there’s one thing I can tell you for sure
You're the reason every night and every day
You belong in my life
You're the reason for everything in every way
I'll never let you out of sight
You ought to know I'll always be the one you can rely upon
You ought to know I'm always gonna be here
And I'll never say goodbye
When you open up your eyes
You will find to your surprise
I have been here all along
You're the reason every night and every day
You belong in my life
You're the reason for everything in every way
I'll never let you out of sight
You ought to know I'll always be the one you can rely upon
You ought to know I'm always gonna be here
And I'll never say goodbye
I have been here all along

Silly Game
04:02
|
|||
|
Do you believe in cosmic chance
Or do things always happen for a reason
What if I never crossed your path
What if we lived in different seasons
And you and I would never meet
And I'd never know your name
And you wouldn't have to leave me in the morning
Would there be something incomplete
When we look back on our lives
I know that I would go on
I know that you would go on
But I couldn't be the person that I am without you
Say we were born many years apart
Say that your family never moved here
Say that we never chose that school or chose that time
Say that your friend was never mine
And you and I would never meet
And I'd never know your name
And you wouldn't have to leave me in the morning
Would there be something incomplete
When we look back on our lives
I know that I would go on
I know that you would go on
But I couldn't be the person that I am without you
Oh would you be the same,
Would you be the same without me
Oh I know it's a just a silly game
Oh would you be the same
Would you be the same without me
Oh I know it's a just a silly game I like to play

Cover Of Snow
05:14
|
|||
|
Winter comes early to this quiet country town
But it never comes easy and it seldom makes a sound
I know we had summer and most of the fall
To find out where we're going and if there's a future in it all
A future in it all
And the cover of snow makes it all so clear
And the cover of snow makes the messy parts disappear
In the cover of snow I'm finally frozen out
In the cover of snow
You drew my portrait out there in the sand
But now there's no trace of it, I remember what I can
You said you can't live here so far from the sun
You said you want answers and I gave you just one
I gave you only one
And the cover of snow makes it all so clear
And the cover of snow makes the messy parts disappear
In the cover of snow I'm finally frozen out
In the cover of snow
And the cover of snow makes it all so clear
And the cover of snow makes the messy parts disappear
In the cover of snow I'm finally frozen out
In the cover of snow
In the cover of snow
In the cover of snow

Jumping The Tracks
05:31
|
|||
|
Close your eyes and I’ll be standing there
And we’ll forget the years we couldn’t share
‘Cause we can’t stop this train
The brakes are wearing thin
But for awhile we can jump the tracks
And see what could’ve been
And make it all one life
And make it all one life
And make it all one life
And make it all one life
Close your eyes and watch the colors change
The hands of time are hard to rearrange
But we can’t stop this train
It just keeps rolling on
But for awhile we can jump the tracks
And take back what is gone
And make it all one life
And make it all one life
And make it all one life
And make it all one life
‘Cause we can’t stop this train
We’ve tried it all before
But for awhile we can jump the tracks
And see if there was more
So make this moment last
And stretch it ’til it breaks
And we won’t lose what we couldn't choose
It heals all our mistakes
And makes it all one life
And makes it all one life
And makes it all one life
And makes it all one life

Lonely Boy
05:12
|
|||
|
Broke up, broke down
And you just wanna know why you’ve been left behind
Aimless, blameless
And circumstance is shameless in its disregard for you
And you wonder what to do
With tomorrow bleeding through
And no more long goodbyes
And no more of those endless summers
You’re at sea again and your heart is lost
But I had this dream
That you fell in love
With a poor old lonely boy like me
A poor old lonely boy like me
Cold light streaming
Another day of dreaming that this can’t be true
Your future shattered
And all the sharped-edged patterns seem to pierce the dark of your room
And you wonder what to do
With tomorrow bleeding through
And no more long goodbyes
And no more of those endless summers
You’re at sea again and your heart is lost
But I had this dream
That you fell in love
With a poor old lonely boy like me
A poor old lonely boy like me
A poor old lonely boy like me

Fears Of A Nation
03:58
|
|||
|
Waking up to the smoke and the burning
You are leaving and won't be returning
We are watching our memories go up in flames
All the love that we gave to each other
From the ashes we’ll never recover
Our house is divided with no one to blame
Oh and I know you will go
I have nothing to show
But a picture of you and of me
Making plans to get back together
Like a ball at the end of a tether
We are batting down forces beyond our control
Everyday now the view becomes clearer
And your image recedes in the mirror
'Til I'm just a speck at the opposite end of the earth
Oh and I know I am blind
All illusions are mine
But I stand here like nothing will change
How can we look ahead?
When all our dreams are dead
A lifetime of regret
Or a chapter in book that we will soon forget
In a time of great tribulation
Steady words calmed the fears of a nation
We must always look forward and never look back
Oh and I know you had to go
And I don't have much to show
But a picture of you and of me
Oh and I know I was blind
All illusions so unkind
But I see now that everything's changed
Oh everything's changed
Everything's changed
Everything's changed

That Much I Already Know
04:04
|
|||
|
Go on and do what you wanted
Go on and say what you mean
You know that I will be haunted
Say what you want, you’ve already walked through the door
And I’m not a hero but I won’t let you down
Say that you want me and I’ll be around, I’ll be around
I’m not a millionaire
Don’t have a lot up there
I don’t have much but I’ll give it all to you
That much I already know
How long ‘til we change direction
How long ‘til waters run dry
You know that I don’t have answers
But leave me today, leave me and we’ll never know
And I’m not a hero but I won’t let you down
Say that you want me and I’ll be around, I’ll be around
I’m not a millionaire
Don’t have a lot up there
I don’t have much but I’ll give it all to you
That much I already know
And you’ve got a secret world you keep inside
And you’ve got a careful heart you wanna hide
And you speak in riddles and you never show your hand
I won’t let it go, I won’t walk away
I’ll never let somebody take my place with you
That much I already know
And I’m not a hero but I won’t let you down
Say that you want me and I’ll be around, I’ll be around
I’m not a millionaire
Don’t have a lot up there
Oh but I’ll give it all to you
That much I already know
That much I already know

Until You Fall Asleep
03:32
|
|||
|
I turn the lights out and I check behind the door
There's no monster waiting there or on the floor
I know that picture book just makes you want to cry
I know you want to ask me now a thousand questions why
Good night
You don't have to worry
When sleepy eyes turn blurry I will watch for you
Good night
Dream of all the good things
Most of what you fear now isn't real
Good night
I will always be here
Holding you if you can't fall asleep
Holding you until you fall asleep
Through the window Mister Moon shows us his face
Squeaks and shadows come and go without a trace
Shooting stars are falling from a brilliant sky
And all you want to ask me is a thousand questions why
Good night
You don't have to worry
When sleepy eyes turn blurry I will watch for you
Good night
Dream of all the good things
Most of what you fear now isn't real
Good night
I will always be here
Holding you if you can't fall asleep
Holding you if you can't fall asleep
Holding you until you fall asleep
