I Wish I'd Known

So take all the things you tried to save
That look in the mirror, you could not erase
We both tried to run from what we couldn’t say
Your melting eyes, that look on your face
It’s driving me insane, but I ain’t driving away
I am coming home, and I Wish I Had Known,
That you felt this way before
So what’s the worst you tried to leave behind?
That heartache at daybreak that drove you out of your mind
And you can see the picture clear if you hit rewind
Or did you see my photo, and think never mind
That picture you stole, it’s always in your soul
I am coming home, and I Wish I Had Known,
That you felt this way before
Where did time go, where did we both go?
Somewhere in the silence I hear a hope
That maybe there’s a smile inside the smoke
From the fire that burned out long ago
If someday you see, then come back I’ll set you free
I am coming home, and I Wish I Had Known,
That you felt this way though too

The End Of The World
04:21

John stares out into the wasteland like a loser at a winner’s parade
He looks to his wife with eyes like snow lost in a summer charade
He holds his heart and he feels his breath his words he holds the same
As if he could hold the levee explodes, a heart felt hurricane
Chorus:
So now I see a fog over my reflection
And now I hear a sadness in your inflection
Tonight it seems I’ve found The End Of The World
A cure so pure killing your infection
“What could we be, what do we do?” She shouts like a refugee
Who watches her world burn down from afar as she floats downstream
His packed bags she throws on the lawn, her eyes drenched in memories
He folds his eyes without much disguise and drops his wedding ring
Chorus:
So now I see a fog over my reflection
And now I hear a sadness in your inflection
Tonight it seems I’ve found The End Of The World
A cure so pure killing your infection
They burn their past through and through
There’s smoke on the truth
They both changed like people do
He don’t recognize his Ruth
There’s nothing left to lose
Chorus:
So now I see a fog over my reflection
And now I hear a sadness in your inflection
Tonight it seems I’ve found The End Of The World
A cure so pure killing your infection

Chasing The Wind
04:33
|

|
There’s a calm in the deep horizon tonight
A silence that’s absent, it’s been a long time
Since we’ve had this peace and our thoughts ring on high
But we can’t hear the thoughts we’ve hoped in our minds
Chorus:
Cause I’ve spent all my life Chasing The Wind
I’ve been waiting for someone that I don’t have to spin
And I’m waiting for something good to begin
I’ve been chasing the shadows, Chasing The Wind
You see the way that things always go
It’s an old bull horn, and it refuses to blow
But I hear them whisper they say what they know
Knowledgeable and eligible with thoughts of stone
And you know you can’t crack it, the mystery
The secrets elude you even detectives can’t see
If you try not to listen the secrets will bleed
The blood stains on your tongue before the ambulance leaves
Chorus:
Cause I’ve spent all my life Chasing The Wind
I’ve been waiting for someone that I don’t have to spin
And I’m waiting for something good to begin
I’ve been chasing the shadows, Chasing The Wind
If you stop, if you breathe
You’ll hear all the secrets, that you never could see
If your faith is strong, then take the leap
And you’ll get all the answers that you need
Chorus:
Cause I’ve spent all my life Chasing The Wind
I’ve been waiting for someone that I don’t have to spin
And I’m waiting for something good to begin
I’ve been chasing the shadows, Chasing The Wind
If you stop, I said if you breathe
If you try not to witness then you’ll never believe
If your faith is strong then your soul can’t bleed
And sooner or later you will get where you need to be

Be Somebody
04:13
|

“I wanna love and to be loved.” She said so scared so frail
If you’re set on your heart not falling apart, you’re setting on your heart to fail
The greatest mysteries are colored clear, only if you care to lose
Your passive past and all that you’ve past, moving on is yours to choose
“But I’m so scared of moving on,” her eyes now bursting in flames
“But what’s out there, how can I go anywhere if I’m always thinking the same?”
“What is it that you’re so scared of?” She asks with a frozen desire
I think she understands now that love is set in ice and fire
‘Cause you’ll burn, you’ll freeze if you dare to believe in something more than you
Can try to believe if you think you can see a reason that you can’t lose
But I try so hard to just agree, with everything I wanna believe
But the last time I cared it made me aware, that even your heart can bleed
Chorus:
I’ve gotta Be Somebody that wants somebody if I’m gonna fall in love
I’ve gotta find somebody that wants somebody who’ll never probably give enough
If you think tonight that I can do it right then come on baby, roll the dice
I’ve gotta Be Somebody that needs somebody, I’ll Be Somebody to tonight
“The pessimist and optimist all in a twist,” she joked with a smile
I wanna believe but I can’t be naive to the things I haven’t seen in a while
Should I give in or does that mean she wins? My gut acts as a shield
It don’t mean I lose but I still got a use, I just wanna feel (tell me, tell me, that it’s real)
Chorus:
I’ve gotta Be Somebody that wants somebody if I’m gonna fall in love
I’ve gotta find somebody that wants somebody who’ll never probably give enough
If you think tonight that I can do it right then come on baby, roll the dice
I’ve gotta Be Somebody that needs somebody, I’ll Be Somebody to tonight

Breathe

Lace your shoes, start the car
Where will you go?
Remember what you were thinking of
When you started down the road
Chorus:
If you need a minute take all the time you need
Fill your hand with as many as you want, they’re free
Lights go down my eyes burn out
What do you burn for?
If you kiss the ash spit on the match
Let the fire snore
Chorus:
If you need a minute take all the time you need
Fill your hand with as many as you want, they’re free
If you need a minute, take one or two or three
The air moves faster if you let yourself, just Breathe
Chorus:
If you need a minute take all the time you need
Fill your hand with as many as you want, they’re free
If you need a minute, take one or two or three
The air moves faster if you let yourself, just Breathe

Pyramids
03:06
|
|||
|
From the top of the freedom tower to the statue of liberty
To look into the eyes of a lover and see no one but me
You can watch all the flowers as they blossom on the trees
But it don’t matter unless you see what you want to see
In the shadow of the coliseum I gave my disbelief
A sunset from the Texas country sunk into my teeth
But I’ve never seen the Pyramids or made love beneath the trees
So I’ll stumble on these blind legs ’til I see what I want to see
I’m missing out I’m missing all the things I want to see
The Northern lights the look in her eyes that soothes your soul to sleep
But I’ve never seen the Pyramids or had a love to keep
So I’ll stumble on these blind legs ’til I see what I want to see
So I’ll stumble on these blind legs ’til I see what I want to see
So I’ll stumble on these blind legs ’til I see what I need to see

No Doubts

Why did you take my hand so slow and faintly, why did you come up to me?
And ask me what it takes to be in love and to be, to be free? Well the
Answer was simple and I told you so to the crackle on your radio
That same spark I heard in your voice and it crackled so slow, you said,
Chorus:
“Why does this world hurt so bad? I want it to go away”
And why does this girl turn so sad when she hears a drop of rain?
So take my hand and don’t ask me where I will lead you tonight
Just understand and trust that I’m looking for the same things you wanna find
Sometimes it takes a mountain to make a fire that we should swim through
You said these roadblocks never got you down, as your eyes teared I turned to you, you said
Chorus:
“Why does this world hurt so bad? I want it to go away”
And why does this girl turn so sad when she hears a drop of rain?
And how come every path has no easy out?
I’ll take the one less travelled, come with me without, without a doubt
I can’t change this way you feel or the stars above
But the skies will change and it will rain if you’re feeling down on your luck
There’s a blue sky on the way if you promise not to turn today
I promise you I will keep you safe, ’til that last drop of rain
Hits the ground, you said
Chorus:
“Why does this world hurt so bad? I want it to go away”
And why does this girl turn so sad when she hears a drop of rain?
And how come every path has no easy out?
I’ll take the one less travelled, come with me without, without a doubt
No alarms and no surprises and please no doubts

Road To Somewhere
03:02

Hello, won’t you take a seat
Be the make believe
The paint in a scene
On the vision where you float
There’s a lava filled moat
And a monkey in your coat
Who lacks control
Wait, won’t you have some tea,
Wait, this ain’t the tea?
I’m oh so sorry
At times I fade away
Like snow I start to grey
You don’t believe what I say?
Well it’s your loss anyways
Hello, won’t you sign your name?
Just give it away
You’re dreaming it’s just a game
Although it’s on your mind
You never need a reason why
You’re scared to say goodbye
We’re the same, You and I

Today I’m fighting back the smoke
That burns through my veins as I choke
On the words that suffocate my breath that I spoke
And you, got the best of me
But the worse is always the thought
You remember when you see the scene
As you paint the picture, try to make it clean
So I can see what you mean
Tomorrow as the dust reappears
And you look out at the wasteland that holds your fears
A memory, a clouded judgement chains your tears
To the eyes that draws them near
And you look in the mirror by accident
Tell me what you see
It seems like something now keeps your confidence
As you trace a silhouette of the sea
It’s the same scene where we…
And maybe the sunlight will melt through the trees
And maybe the rivers will boil until they freeze
And once the world is down on its knees
I’ll know, there’s a better life for me
And you tell yourself
I Hope I’m Not Too Late
To listen to her long forgotten name
I listen to her conscience as it breaks
And I watch the flicker in the flame
And I wonder how long will it take
To pick up all the pieces of her name?
The shadows of the ghosts in the flame
Are reciting someone else’s fate
I Hope I’m Not Too Late

Ghost Of Me
05:40
|
|||
|
How long has it been since you’ve seen the sunrise?
The way it floats so soft like snow
If you’ve never seen it then you’ve never realized
That maybe emotion is the knowledge you’ve owned
But I just can’t let go of these pages that I wrote
The past is just a memory on loan
So give me the time because I’m losing track
Have I missed something I can’t get back?
If you feel cheated out of what you earned
Maybe it was something that you didn’t deserve
Now I make my peace, with who I have to be
And everything I know I have to leave
I don’t wanna go, am I weak or am I slow?
Or am I something that I’ll never know?
Chorus:
So now I hope you see that perfect Ghost Of Me
And I wished I could never let you down
I see now what it takes as we reach the age
Where the world just keeps on spinning round and round and round
When you look in the mirror what do you see?
Or are you moving to fast to see anything clearly?
I’d slow down but I don’t wanna slow completely
Because once I stop that’s when you delete me
So how do I slow down but not give up my ground?
I can hear my shadow whisper without sound
What should I be, my ghost, myself, or me?
I just want someone that I can believe
Chorus:
So now I hope you see that perfect Ghost Of Me
And I wished I could never let you down
I see now what it takes as we reach the age
Where the world just keeps on spinning round and round and round

Disappear
04:45

I had to find out what’s the price you pay
Can you get it all without throwing some away
It doesn’t matter, we’ve all seen better days
I hope tomorrow you can bring me up to pace
What do you say when the world fades to black?
Can you embrace it and still never go back?
Chorus:
Come tomorrow we’ll all Disappear
And all these minutes, just memories in our ears
Sing the song, dance in the evening sky
Even though it’s gone, it’s a minute, a minute in the light
“Wake up wake up wake up!” She said, you’re gonna miss your flight
It doesn’t matter, these planes fly every night
The only difference is this one’s on time
Its departure hour is when I arrive
What do you do when it doesn’t go your way?
Can I get through and still get away?
Chorus:
Come tomorrow we’ll all Disappear
And all these minutes, just memories in our ears
Sing the song, dance in the evening sky
Even though it’s gone, it’s a minute, a minute in the light
Chorus:
Come tomorrow we’ll all Disappear
And all these minutes, just moments that we fear
Sing the song, dance in the evening sky
Even though it’s gone, it’s a minute, a minute in the light
