Runnin' away, runnin' away, hey
Runnin' away

I had the perfect girl, we'd spend together hours every day
You can say that I had it made (made) and I was all for the commitment
But then she started wantin' more from me and my mind began to change
Suddenly I didn't feel the same (same), I didn't know what I was doing

I was dodgin' commitment, start but don't finish
My aim was always the same girl, I know I've been trippin'
I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby just hear me out
I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby just hear me out
I wanna show my heart, but I don't know where to start

So I keep runnin'
With real love in my face, why, am I breakin' away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you, all I really need is you
But I keep on runnin' away (runnin' away)
Hey

I caught a second wind of happiness when I met this girl
And then, we became the best of friends
We went from half full to half empty
I took a detour tryin' to find myself, but I'm on this road again
Want out of this box I'm in, I made it harder to be with me

I was dodgin' commitment, start but don't finish
My aim was always the same girl, I know I've been trippin'
I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby just hear me out
I'm confessin', I'm confessin', so baby just hear me out
I wanna show my heart, but I don't know where to start

So I keep runnin'
With real love in my face, why, am I breakin' away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you, all I really need is you
But I keep on runnin' away (runnin' away)
Hey

I'm 'bout to break down, baby I'm done
No I can't, keep up runnin' this marathon (this marathon)
No need to rest when I already won
And if I got you by my side, girl I already won
It's like lookin' for a treasure when it's already mine
It don't make sense, don't make sense
No matter how hard I try to define
I'm comin' face to face with myself
I know I don't need, don't need no one else
So can somebody tell me where I'm goin' (goin')
So can somebody tell me where I'm goin' (goin')

So I keep runnin' (hey)
With real love in my face, why, (why) am I breakin' away
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes
I keep runnin' (you're all I need, you're all I need)
When all I really need is you, all I really need is you
But I keep on runnin' away (runnin' away)

I keep runnin' (ay)
With real love in my face, why, am I breakin' away (runnin' away)
I keep runnin'
So scared of the heartbreak, so scared I'm makin' mistakes
I keep runnin'
When all I really need is you (all I need), all I really need is you (all I need)
But I keep on runnin' away (runnin' away)
Hey

Runnin' away, runnin' away hey
Runnin' away, runnin' away hey

Oh I just heard a melody and it almost made me cry
My voice was filled with yearning
But that's not all, there's something else
No that's not all, there's something else.

Every word was in my ear and every note was crystal clear
Oh how you captured my heart
Oh how you captured my heart.

You spoke to me with another tongue but I understood alright
Cause I believe in feeling
But that's not all, there's something else
No that's not all, there's something else.

Every word was in my ear and every sound would just appear
Oh, how you captured my heart
Oh how you've gone and captured my heart
Oh how you captured my heart.

That's not all, no that's not all, there's something else
No that's not all, that's not all, there's something else.

You know that every word was in my ear and every note was crystal clear
Oh how you captured my heart
Oh how you've gone and captured my heart
Oh how you captured my heart
Oh how you've gone and captured my heart
Oh how you captured my heart

Open your eyes
Say what you say and I'll listen
For a while
Where is you smile?
The one that reminds me to whisper
Like a child

How can we stay strong?
Now hope is gone

Give me a reason
I can believe in
Help me to be the
Best I can
Give me a feeling
The love that I'm needing to make me
A better man

Will it be there
The taste that reminds me I missed you
All this time?
You know I still care
I'm walking around in a circle
Like I'm blind

Oh it's been so long
But I'm holding on

Give me a reason
I can believe in
Help me to be the
Best I can
Give me a feeling
The love that I'm needing to make me
A better man
Oh yeah

Give me a feeling
The love that I'm needing to make me
A better man

Give me a reason
I can believe in
Help me to be the
Best I can
Give me a feeling
The love that I'm needing to make me
A better man

Last night your eyes were telling me
What words could never say
You needed room to breathe
You needed time to get away

It's the way of a young heart
And I know how you feel
Your dreams are real and I would never hold you
Against your will?

And so I will wait for you
Just as long as you want me to
And so I will wait for you
You know I'll wait

Today I woke up wondering
Was I right or was I wrong?
Did I really need to let you go?
Did I need to act so strong?

Is it the way of a fool's heart
To agree to set you free?
But all I know is if our love's real
Then you'll come on back to me

And so I will wait for you
Just as long as you want me to
And so I will wait for you
I know you'll come through
I hope you find the things you need
Are the things you had with me
And so I will wait for you

When I look out the window
-And I see a stranger go walking by
I always imagine that it might be you next time

It's the way of a young heart
And I know how you feel
Your dreams are real and I would never hold you
-against your will

And so I will wait for you
Just as long as you want me to
And so I will wait for you
I know you'll come through
I hope you find the things you need
Are the things you had with me
And so I will wait for you
You know I'll wait, I'll wait

And so I will wait for you
And so I will wait for you
You'll come through
I hope you find the things you need
Are the things you had with me

You know I'll wait
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait

Anyone who's ever lived inside of anybody else's heart
Will know
The price you pay, the time it takes, the mess you make
Oh, oh
Anyone can go
By the mountain road
But you're on your own

Every time I hear a saxophone I think of all the people in my life
I've known
Every time I hear a train I think of all the years I've been away
From home

Anyone can go
By the mountain road
But you're on your own

All my dreams grow cold
Remember how we used to never, ever really care?

In this life I hold

Anyone who's ever lived inside of anybody else's heart
Will know
The price you pay, the pain and ache, the mess you make
Oh, oh
Anyone can go
Anyone can go
Where I first let go
By the mountain road

Anyone can go
Anyone can go
But you're on your own
By the mountain road

But you're on your own

For a moment I saw you
More than anything I know
With the warmest embrace in your hands
I only feel colder now
Colder than I should
Ah but something inside my heart let go

I found that all my words have gone
When I only want to belong, oh now
How can you risk all of this just for one kiss when
All my work is done
I will always want to be strong, oh now
How can you risk all of this, for one kiss?

How long I was silent
More than anyone I know
With the weight of your world in my heart
I only feel older now
Older than I should
Ah but surely my voice is all I own
I found that all my words are gone
When I only want to belong, oh now
How can you risk all of this just for one kiss when
All my work is done
I will always want to be strong, oh now
How can you risk all this, for one kiss?

One kiss

Oh where did you go?

How can you risk all of this just for one kiss?
Now all my words are gone
When I only want to belong, oh now
How can you risk all of this just for one kiss when
All my work is done
I will always want to be strong , oh now
How can you risk all this just for one kiss?
How can you risk all this just for one kiss?

It's as old as rain
It's nature child
It's the sound of the moon as it turns at tide

But if you close your eyes
If you close your eyes

Between the cracks, behind the lines
Spinning stars keep keeping time

And if you close your eyes
If you close your eyes

I know you will hear ghost music
Ghost music

Everyone you ever loved, everyone you knew
Is out there waiting for you somewhere
Somewhere

It's the place you make for yourself in the world
It's the sense that you've been her before

But if you close your eyes
If you close your eyes
And if you open your mind

Everyone you ever loved, everyone you knew
Will be out there waiting for you somewhere

Ghost music

Will you walk with me
Through this world
And never let me down, oh listen now
Can you hear a sound
Look what we have found
Another day ends peacefully

Oh
Now tell me
Is this the way it’s gonna stay

Oh
Don’t let go again
It’s your life
Love
Your happiness

When you sleep tonight
Will you dream
About a brighter life, oh it’s gonna last
And we hope for more
But my heart is so unsure
Another day is

Over
So tell me
Is this the way it’s meant to be

Oh
Don’t let go again
‘Cause it’s for life
Love
And happiness I’m thinking of
No
Don’t give up again
‘Cause it’s your life
Love
And happiness

Don’t go
I’m remembering
The time of joy
And of love

Oh
Don’t let go again
‘Cause it’s for life
Love
And happiness I’m thinking of
No…
Don’t give up again
Cause it’s your life
Your love
Your happiness

And we hope for more
My heart is so unsure
Will you walk with me
And never let me down

There are no other words
To tell you how I'm feeling
There are no other words at all
There must be some other way
To take the weight of this grieving
There are no other words at all

And so I wonder if I'll ever find my lover or my home?
I think you know I think about it almost every night

When there is more to love
I can feel more for life
Now that there's more to love
Maybe the world's alright

But there are no other words
To tell you how I'm feeling
There are no other words at all
There must be some other way
To take the weight of this grieving
There are no other words at all

And so I whispered to the water send me someone I can hold
And so I listen for an answer, oh keep me from the cold

When there is more to love
I can feel more for life
Now that there's more to love
Help me believe I might

'Cause there are no other words
To tell you how I'm feeling
There are no other words at all
There must be some other way
To take the weight of this grieving
'Cause there are no other words at all

Another season
Another start
Another place to find me
Only when I fall apart

There are no other words
To tell you how I'm feeling
No other words at all
There must be some other way
To take the weight of this grieving
There are no other words at all
There are no other words

And if you listen now
You might hear
A new sound coming in
As the old one disappears
See the world in just one grain of sand
You'd better take a closer look
Don't let it slip right through your hands
Won't you please hear the call
The world says

Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard?

And now is the moment
Please understand
The road is wide open
To the heart of every man
A few simple words
That he could understand
He don't want tomorrow
If it's crumbling into sand
Won't you please hear the call
And the world says

Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard

And the world says
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your love to me
'Cause I'm waiting here with my open arms
She says
Give a little bit
Give a little bit of your soul to me
'Cause I'm waiting to behold your many charms
Is that love in the air
And the world says

Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard

I never saw a night so full of stars
I never saw a love so lost as ours
There never was a child so far from home
He's never felt so easy on his own

Close those eyes
Another night unfurled
The oldest dream in the world

I never saw a place so full of scars
I never saw a loss so loved as ours
There is a man asleep in me somewhere

Just as he
Closed his eyes
Another night unfurled
The oldest dream in the world

I never saw a night so full of stars
I never saw a love so lost as ours

Close your eyes
Another night unfurled
The oldest dream in the world

We tried to make this little house
Into a happy home
But we could not succeed
Now it's getting time
To try to make it on my own
Before there's little mouths to feed



Wish me well and hold me
Wish me well and let me go
The dreams that we had
Are over it seems
Wish me well

Time and time we said
We're gonna try to start again
But we could not and we do not
Baby what you say is it's time to say Amen
We gave it all we got

Wish me well and hold me
Wish me well and let me go
The dreams that we had
Are over it seems
Wish me well

Yeah, there were days
We got it right
How more and more
The pretty days looked like the nights
And it's no good
Coming home
Never sure
Just where you're coming from

Wish me well and hold me
Wish me well and let me go
The dreams that we had
Are over it seems
Wish me well

I've walked along
This stormy life
Too scared to feel
The love I might

While I won't deny that I'm afraid
I can't say the words
If only there was someone who could make sense of it all?

It won't be long
Before the light
Another day
A sleepless night

Will I ever learn to live alone?
Am I strong enough?
If only there was some way in this world to let you know

One night
Give me just one night
For all I own
I'm so alone
Oh won't you take me home

You make me weak
You make me kind
I never knew a love so blind

Well I don't believe in many things
But I'm certain now
If only there was somewhere in this world where we could go for

One night
Give me just one night
For all I own
I'm so alone
Oh won't you take me home

Oh save me now
There's no bitterness
Darling don't you let me down
Oh hold me now
Show me some tenderness
I'm so lost without you around

Give me just one night
For all I own
I'm so alone
I never let you go
Oh won't you rake me home
