Leaving waves of lies behind
No time to contemplate Sailing ships of solitude I never let the sadness dissipate Leave behind an angry anchor It's never too late I guess it's in a time like this The winds would blow the other way Sailing through a sea of doubt I have the time to contemplate A world so harsh to face and lies so commonplace We're insecure 'cause we want more What about the time before? Was it ignorance? We said never again I'm a criminal I turn away when I know what's going on My children will ask me, ??How did you ignore?? If you really don't see Then open up your eyes 'Cause its glaring out in front of me I'll go by myself I guess it's in the times like these When the winds are fake When I wish we'd sail together Take these empty seas away In a world so harsh to face and lies so commonplace We're insecure 'cause we want more What about the time before? Was it ignorance? We said never again Was it ignorance or innocence? Aren't they really the same? |

She sits beside her,
Stares out across the waves as she's digging in the sand And looks around her, And knows the crazy world would never understand. And she says "please would you find me, I've lost my way, please would you save me now" He wakes to find that he's out of love again and its time for him to run, And back inside her, he feels his innocence slowly setting with the sun And he says "please would you save me, I'll lose my way, please would you help me to escape" And their answers lie in a setting sun, And the reasons why will remain unknown, 'cause we live our lives 'till we come undone We just have to believe, We just have to believe, We just have to believe. |

And finally the silence
Looking out, looking back across the sky Trying to find a meaning Knowing that I just left it all behind Still I smell a lingering softness Where did she go How did she go I wanna wanna know I wanna know that she'll be coming here to me [CHORUS:] Come on Without you I'll never feel the love inside of me Come on, you know that we belong Come on, come on, come on, come on Thinking back before her I never knew the meaning of alone Still the flag is feeling foreign I live the day to escape into a phone Speaking of a world not real then Where did she go How did she go I wanna wanna know I wanna know that she'll be coming here to me [CHORUS] Cause shes sharp for kisses And my heart misses She's coming She's coming here to me I'm needing Desiring to kiss her now I'm living for her Breathing for her Singing for her fairytale [CHORUS (2x)] Come on.. |

Strokes of dark, a brush of light,
I watch you bring your canvas into light. Oh I know thats how you see the world, I know that you see anything you like. But now I'm doubting me, I know I shouldn't be but I've been down, I've been down Cause it was love wasn't it? Well its killing me not having it. Its hard to not remeber, Forget its not the same, When still you come and tell me 'sorry I came without an invitation-just wanted to be loved.' The last perfect thing, You know that you bring me back to life. On and on and on and on, I think about you all day long, I need you to be stronger. Cause now I'm doubting me - I know I shouldn't be but I've been down, I've been down Cause it was love... Yeah, I hear the sound, And I know that you'll be Coming round - you know I'll wait for you. Oh love, its killing me not having it. I need you to Be stronger, don't wanna hear the sound, 'cause rocks upoun my window mean that you're coming round. And how could I resist when I think you're still in love. How can I move on when I wanna be in love with you. |

The years flash by, today melts to yesterdays memories,
Time's holding us tight I'm looking back to remember the days we said we'd never say goodbye. And now you're gone, my hands melt to yesterday's melodies Time's pushing along, Still looking back to hold on to the days we said we'd never say goodbye. Sometimes I feel like we've been running too far from the truth You know I'm tired of hearing 'another day another time' All this senseless waiting won't fill these dark empty rooms, Why won't you come home? I wish, I feel, I can't believe I've seen these nights Pass by, those hands, what happened to those eyes, my Eyes seduced by that smile that crumbles away, washes Away those tears, let tears roll by, she'll hear you Cry, yeah she'll hear you. Sometimes I feel... You know I hate to say it, but since you've gone I know that Even though I'm feeling low, I guess I'm feeling free. We can live our own existence 'cause I know these Dreams will bring you back to me. I'm dreaming a world with you, I wish the night was longer I'm chasing the way we were, I wish that I could catch us. I'm feeling your hand in mine, I wish I'd held it closer I know that I will soon find, I know that she can hear me say She'll hear you, these dreams will bring you back to me. |

Swinging round in circles, looking for the way,
Fleeing from the time when she wanted me to stay. My world is swirling round, this time I know it well, Our love is coming down again. Then I realize inside me, I've had myself all wrong, This time I know for certain, I've never been that strong The moment you remember, those times you stop to think, Our love will come undone again. But with demons sitting at my side, An angel's come to ask me why And slowly I give up inside to say To feel alive, I'd give it all away Destructive words to make it so, but none of this is you you know Another year, another week, another set of summer sheets Another 'we should hang out again soon' Another drink, another kiss And with demons sitting at my side, Another angel asks me why And it doesn't take too much to say To feel alive, I'd give it all away Again, and again and again Then she's sitting at my side An angel's come to ask me why And it takes nothing to say To feel alive, I'll give it all away. |

You know, the sun is in your eyes
And hurricanes and rains And black and cloudy skies. You're running up and down that hill. You turn it on and off at will. There's nothing here to thrill Or bring you down. And if you've got no other choice You know you can follow my voice Through the dark turns and noise Of this wicked little town. Oh Lady, luck has led you here And they're so twisted up They'll twist you up. I fear. The pious, hateful and devout, You're turning tricks till you're turned out, The wind so cold it burns, You're burning out and blowing round. And if you've got no other choice You know you can follow my voice Through the dark turns and noise Of this wicked little town. The fates are vicious and they're cruel. You learn too late you've used two wishes like a fool And then you're someone you are not, And Junction City ain't the spot, Remember Mrs. Lot And when she turned around. And if you've got no other choice You know you can follow my voice Through the dark turns and noise Of this wicked little town. (2x) |

At a stoplight in the middle of the night
Stuck in 1st and I wonder if I should stay The ride is history and to my left the shores is right But this seems a little bit too hard And all the questions come running through my mind and will I see this another way The simple truth isn't falling falling down And I don't want to drag you through the bottom Then she says Sit in front of me Turn around you'll see I'm everything you want All you'll ever need Come back into my world You know I'm always yours And she makes so much since When she says done throw this away Its hard to know what's real when it all seems wrong But I promise you ill find what's going on I just need to follow the sun before Ill know if ill see this another way The simple truth isn't falling falling down And I don't want to drag you through the bottom Then she says Sit in front of me Turn around you'll see I'm everything you want All you'll ever need Come back into my world You know I'm always yours And she makes so much since When she says done throw this away Isabelle she drifts so lightly floating in her dripsy dresses Even as her words cut deep I can't deny the truth in them On the phone she talks so loud to me and I listen hopelessly So direction the side headed to oblivion And then I decide to give another round of memories of the firs time we sang out to the sea Oh Isabelle you always understood me Please Isabelle forgive me now And all the questions come running through my mind and will I see this another way The simple truth isn't falling falling down And I don't want to drag you through the bottom |

And All of my answers
And all my reasons And all my excuses They never asked Cause all of my answers They keep on changing I spend my life waiting for the next No I just keep on moving No I just keep on pushing forward No I forgot what I was looking for No And All There illusions I won't believe them I'll always believe what I can't forget Cause all of their reasons They keep on changing I spend my life waiting for the next No I just keep on moving No I just keep on pushing forward No I forgot what I was looking for Well I'll trade wisdom back in for innocence To get away from all my lies I'd trade wisdom back in for innocence To get away from getting by I'd trade wisdom back in for innocence For just one look through those eyes |
