I Would 04:14
Too far away from you so I am talkin’ to myself The people here don’t know me well they think I’m someone else There’s writing on the bathroom wall I read it all And I raised my glass to your health Their words get tangled up by the way they want to seem Too short a friend for honest ends and ordinary dreams The show it felt ingenuine A waste of time And the sky broke at the seams And I would walk, to see your face, one more time And I would brave the chance that just a glance would turn you back to me Yeah I would run, to see your eyes, and touch your smile Oh, oh oh, I see your smile The sun it rose up early but it did not raise my head The confidence I had last night replaced by doubt instead If you were here you’d laugh at fear And throw me out of bed I could forget the things I read Don’t you think that we could make it without giving in to pride? Perhaps a middle ground before we choose to hide ourselves I have lied to you, before my time CHORUS

The Wanderer 03:24
Travel far beyond alone Hills and dales are the only home I’ve ever known Safe from harm The stars will be my lover’s arms Take me under the willow tree I don’t care to know your petty lies and broken greed Safe from harm The pines will be my lover’s arms CHORUS: Whoa, oh, oh deep in the wood Rings on trees, the things I see are time, time, time, And I know no fear Yeah I know you’re here Lessons hard bought, the seeds are sown Oh it pains to think the things I should have ready known Safe from harm The fire still will keep me warm CHORUS So hold me close, so hold me close now, hold me close So I know you’re here, so I know you’re here CHORUS

Fools 03:48
Try me, left foot forward, saw me lookin’ at the door but I’d be game I’ll be hard to touch but, damn, baby, if you want it enough I could be persuaded Slow and subtle, hold back just a little and maybe… CHORUS: Late night, feels right, only slightly tipsy and the daylights far away Shot’s back, feel that hand and watch the band, they know how to play Slow down, we have all night ‘til the day Drop line, dance time, absolute-ly, nothin’ to say Make me frustrated, hate it, baby, make me beg for more Touch me, leave me, tease me right now you’re too easy to ignore I could be your Eden… Adam held out, whoa-oh, baby I need you to taste me CHORUS A whole lot of fools, seems to me Pretending there are rules, this game is much too easy I’d be your fool baby if you would not be such a, a fool, a fool to me CHORUS
4.
Easier 05:10
Perhaps it’s easier to find a place to hide than to fight, if it came to that Perhaps it’s easier to run when it’s raining out, the sun may not ever show CHORUS: And I would try again with you, if you wanted to I would try again And I would try again with you, if you wanted to I would try again If we came a bit late that day, perhaps we should not have come at all If we misunderstood I would speak again but you already built a wall CHORUS Take this heart and try to treat it better than And I will take your pain back on Take these hands and try to hold ‘em tighter than And I will hold your hand in mine Perhaps it’s easier, perhaps it’s easier, perhaps it’s easier

When we were younger we thought Everyone was on our side Then we grew a little bit And romanticized the time I saw Flowers in your hair It takes a boy to live It takes a man to pretend he was there So then we grew a little and knew a lot And now we demonstrated it to the cops And all the things we said We were self-assured Cause it's a long road to wisdom But it's a short one To being ignored Be in my eyes Be in my heart Be in my eyes ai yai yai And be in my heart So now I think that I could Love you back And I hope it's not too late cause you're so attractive And the way you move I won't close my eyes It takes a man to live It takes a woman to make him compromise Be in my eyes Be in my heart Be in my eyes ai yai yai And be in my heart

Mirror Boy 05:22
Asked him to play all day but he is tired Asked him to marry rich but he can’t find her I watched you hold your head and lie there You are alone your world can’t watch you fail Felt like the storm was formed in your own house Father so calm it’s all your fault now I am enough, you said, to stand tall You are enough I knew, and you doubt me CHORUS: And woah-oh-oh the race is One more test you aced and Placed the best and Don’t you, don’t you, don’t you go frownin’ at the mirror boy And woah-oh-oh they will ask you to be, tell you to be, won’t you listen to me? Don’t frown at the mirror boy It was your flag they flew in our front yard It was your words they used for their trump card But it was your smile that held me in awe You want to hide it… I’m not there So run ‘til the rage you’ve caged has been let out Open your mouth and scream your heart out Lie in my arms until your tears halt And breathe at the end your heart will feel safety CHORUS

I must be going crazy, to feel this way… as if the other day had been a lifetime Put on my dress, I must confess, I was hoping to run into you Then you would take me dancing On the rooftop in an empty warehouse lot Hours would pass before we noticed we forgot…. To keep our clothes on CHORUS: And I will go on, dance with me, dance with me Go, go, go on Smiling freely, my friends we were meant to be Dancing, now let’s dance on And strangers I’ve found, try not to be aware. On the bus they’ll stare at anything but me I’ll fight that now, I won’t look down, ‘cause I find you much more interesting But this time he looked back at me A smile flashed between us in the crowd But then his stop arrived and he got off without a sound I’ve never felt so free CHORUS And I’ve got no time for these silly rules I will play the game my way Let us not be frightened fools Or we will give ourselves away So take my hand and be my lover Take my heart I’ll be your friend We’ll make mistakes, but we’ll forgive one another As we laugh and sing and play and love and dance! CHORUS

Stay 03:31
You’re too much to hold on to, too much to believe And each day I fall harder I can’t seem to breathe Hey, ey, ey, ey, you’re the one I want to stay with, baby From the first time you touched me I couldn’t let go And the things that you shared then made me want to know you Hey, ey, ey, ey, you’re the one I want to stay with CHORUS: And would you share my world And hold me, I’ll be your girl, I’ll be your girl And take me every night and I’ll be I’ll be your light Would you be mine? And the way that we smile the way that we laugh Doesn’t matter how long still the time’s gone too fast But hey, ey, ey, ey, you’re the one I want to stay with I remember the time you first said it to me And that word is so scary, a risk to believe But hey, ey, ey, ey, you’re the one I want to stay with CHORUS
10.
Vertigo 03:38
Just weigh the anchor there is no way to be ready Worlds are waiting for you to reach their shores Many tell you of the paths they took to get there Their words are wasted for you cannot use their doors Many days at sea and I am still unsteady Even small waves pitch this great weight side to side But there are mornings when the sun’s on the horizon And I begin to feel the changing of the tides CHORUS: So hey-oh, pick yourself back up! When the world it weighs too much You are enough, we are enough And dig deep, your roots cannot be pulled free The stars are there to guide thee They are not comin’ down To make fires on the ground You’re walking quickly ‘cause these streets are unfamiliar Turning corners though you do not know their names As though decisiveness protects you from their judgments As though they’re watching you as if they weren’t the same CHORUS BRIDGE: But this is mornings when the sun can’t raise you up This is rainy days, it doesn’t matter anyway There are shadows in the room, blue faces talkin’ to you Drawing curtains cross the moon So put this water to your lips I see them tremble Whether fear or health betrayed you I don’t know It seems the sky has brought its vertigo to earth now But you don’t have to take the offer it lays down CHORUS

It’s hard to know, and as we get older it’s harder to ask And they say we get stronger but I swear it hurts more as time passes And I try to believe that I was… beautiful once Now every misdeed, misstep, I misspoke, you missed the point Feels like every mistake is permanent, takes me down, and now I can’t get off the ground“Make time,” they said, “for the ones who matter the most” So it feels like a crime that I just don’t know who I want to get close to And everyone feels like they are tied down by the clock Now every choice chips the time off of our limited supply Feels like every mistake is permanent, takes me down, and now I can’t get off the ground CHORUS: I need an angel it’s too hard to not believe in God And justification is makin’ me sore to the soul And I’d take it on faith but I just don’t have any faith left to take I’m holdin’ out hard for a chance to believe or at least… At least I need a break Spit out your petty words ‘cause righteousness can hurt Like a broken tooth, remove the proof, that you were hit first Entitlement shouldn’t be dependent on your birth So try to find an open mind for the ones who closed theirs’ first I am listening to boys whose only toy is philosophical dirt And it’d be fine if it wasn’t meant to hurt CHORUS It’s easy to see, but as you get smarter it’s harder to feel That everyone adds some good and bad and no right way is the real way And I don’t believe that you should teach them they are wrong Believing in heaven is better than letting your conscious go numb I am listening to girls, wanna change the world by telling them they are dumb, and I for one Won’t beat on that drum CHORUS It’s hard to know, and as we get older it’s harder to ask And they say we get stronger but I swear it hurts more as time passes And I try to believe that I was… beautiful once Now every misdeed, misstep, I misspoke, you missed the point Feels like every mistake is permanent, takes me down, and now I can’t get off the ground CHORUS
