I want to be there with you I need to be here for you I like the options that it brings I hate the sacrifice, it stings I want to be there with you I need to be here for you It takes my time and energy I’m grateful but it’s bitter sweet A trade for better things Tomorrow may never bring What are we squandering For a false sense of security We let the urgency Ahead of important things A sense of certainty Alluring falsity, it speaks to me I give the best I can for you I’d give anything to be with you A backdrop to the life we lead But I want to give you everything I believe the life you’re meant to live Depends on what you put in So I’m here, but you’re the world to me This all is secondary A trade for better things Tomorrow may never bring What are we squandering For a false sense of security We let the urgency Ahead of important things A sense of certainty Alluring falsity, it speaks to me

Took a wrong turn about a mile back Life hasn't been the same there’s no turning back All the road signs seem to look the same All the crossroads go by the same name Rearview shows me where I've been But doesn't show me out of the mess I'm in I’m running out of pavement on my last mile Car hasn't been in park for a long while I'm going 50 miles an hour above the speed limit I'm on two wheels round the turns, In a hurry but I don't know where I'm going Horizon's in the distance but it's not getting any closer to me Something tells me I took a wrong turn a while ago Dirt road’s gritty, breaking my car down If I get stuck out here I'll never be found Check engine light is on and I'm startin' to worry Sun has gone down and my windshield’s blurry The map they gave me doesn't show these roads You can’t miss it, so I was told I see a light ahead could I be in luck? It's just another lost soul who got their car stuck My wrong turn… I'm going 50 miles an hour above the speed limit I'm on two wheels round the turns, in a hurry but I don't know where I'm going, where I'm going The horizon's in the distance but it's not getting any closer to me Something inside tells me I took a wrong turn a while ago My wrong turn…

Carry On 04:50
I don’t want to be someone who’s wasting all this time Living someone else’s life, on a path that isn’t mine I just want to be someone who’s living all the time Oh giving all the time, goin’ deeper, wider, higher And I just want to say this life’s not ordinary It’s time we see the writing on the wall And from one moment’s pain, we’ll rise up from the ashes Only to find that we have grown strong Any line you walk down Any line you walk down And I say baby, any line you walk You know you can’t go wrong So carry on, carry on I just want to see you reaching, living life sublime With horizons wide and sanctuary in your mind Doesn’t matter if you reach the sky, I just want to see you try Baby spread your wings and take a ride I just want to say that we’re going to rise up, rise up Only to find that we can’t go wrong, we carry on And from one moment’s pain, come failure or disaster We come to realize we can’t go… …wrong Any line you walk down Any line you walk down And I say baby, any line you walk You know you can’t go wrong So carry on, carry on Any line you walk down Any line you walk down And I say baby, any line you walk You know you can’t go wrong So carry on, so carry on

Hold On 04:22
“Don’t go there” she says “I Don’t wanna talk about it anymore” Her eyes are turning red As she tallies up the score We leave everything unsettled It gets harder every day Until we’re on a different level And there’s nothing left to say Hold On, Hold On, Hold On Until we’re sorry for What’s been wrong, for so long So long, so long, so long Honey, I’d be gone Yes it’s true, but even after what you’ve done I’d miss you “Don’t go there.” he says As he makes way, to the door “I’m like the walking dead. I can’t give you anymore.” It feels like an unhappy ending Oh that would be a shame We’re both better when our love is strong Honey I know you feel the same Hold On, Hold On, Hold On Until we’re sorry for What’s been wrong, for so long So long, so long, so long Honey, I’d be gone Yes it’s true, but even after what you’ve done I’d miss you Hold On, Hold On, Hold On Or we’ll be sorry. I’m sorry, For what’s been wrong, for so long So long, so long, so long Honey, I’d be gone Yes it’s true, but even after what you’ve done To my heart, to my soul, I’d miss you

If this is the last thing I ever do, I want to take in this moment with you This beautiful place, your beautiful face, breathe the air, be aware If this is the last time I look at you, I want to take in this beautiful view You beautiful girl, this beautiful world, take in everything And maybe you won’t remember And I’ll probably soon forget But let’s live in this moment and make it the best I’d rather take chances than live in regret If we knew it was the last time, we’d know what to do It very well could be, this could be the last time… If this is the last thing I say to you, I want it to matter, I want to ring true Don’t want to look back and could’ve said more, or should have of said less but I am no more This is the last time we’ll be this way, each fleeting moment is slipping away My beautiful child, I look in your eyes, see the light. You’ll take flight. Well maybe you won’t remember And I’ll probably soon forget But I want to live every moment before they lay me to rest I’d rather take chances than live with regret If we knew it was the last time, we’d know just what to do It very well could be, this could be the last time… The last time’s inevitably coming for you, every single moment is a moment of truth The last time I’ll tell you, we’ve got nothing to lose. The last time, the last time. The last time it’s ever going to be this way, everything is temporary and it won’t be replayed The last time I’ll tell you this will all be replaced, the last time, the last time The last time…

Promises 05:38
Waitin’, waitin for time to come I’m just not feeling the wonder of it all Waitin’, waitin’ for things to turn out right I think they will, the world will turn, and we’ll make it to the light But it’s, been so long that I just don’t know If we can, but I don’t want to let go, oh I don’t know It’s been so long since we’ve made the time Out of touch, out of sync, but not out of mind. I’m out of my mind. I want to be open hearted, I don’t know how this started Or how to make it end, but my friend we’ve got to make amends And feelings don’t matter, our thoughts are too scattered To rely upon, they’ll lead us wrong, they’ll lead us wrong I don’t care about being right, because the only worthwhile fight Is for us to make it through, I’m gonna fight for you I don’t have a perfect plan, but I’ll do the best I can To keep the promises I made, if we do that we might be saved Waitin’, waitin’ for time to come I’m just not feeling the wonder of it all I’m waitin’, waitin’ for things to turn out right I think they will, but for now, I’ll just make it through tonight But then I, clear mind and I step outside Wind’s at my back, and you are at my side, and it’s allright Now I know what I didn’t know Feelings come, and feelings go, it’s just so, then what do you know And feelings don’t matter, our thoughts are too scattered To rely upon, they’ll lead us wrong, wrong, they’re wrong But one feeling that holds true, is that I believe in you I for you and you for me, that’s the way it’s supposed to be We’ve got to be open hearted, I don’t care how this started But we’ve got to make it end my friend we’ve got to make amends If we’ll live the promises we made, in the end we will be saved I for you and you for me, that’s the way it’s going to be… I clear my mind and I step outside. Wind’s at my back and you are at my side, and it’s alright.

Wish it Away 05:05
Oh my friend, I can’t wish it away Living in denial won’t make it right You left me here with nothing to say Looking for comfort in the dark sky Wanna wish it away No force can keep the night from the day The feelings still hurt no matter how hard you cry Some think they know just what to say Their empty words won’t lead me to the “why” Wanna wish it away I want to wish it all away The path we walk on It doesn’t seem right Our love has been through war Another I’ll fight This can’t be how it ends We’re feeding a lie But I’ve said my last goodbyes to you I want to wish it away, the hurt and the pain I wish it away but it comes back again Wish away the day, that you walked away I want to wish it away, the hurt and the pain Wish it away, the clouds and the rain Wish away the day that made me feel the way I do I want to wish it away, the hurt and the pain Wish it away but it comes back again Wish away the day, that you walked away I wish it away, the hurt and the pain Wish it away, but it comes back again Wish away the day that that you walked away from me. This can’t be happening…

When did all of our friends, cease to come around? When did I become so, easy to push around? If I was on fire, you might just let it burn. Pay me no attention, I’ll step in line and wait my turn. Where did I go wrong? Maybe I ask for empathy, when it’s all coming down on you. And Maybe I ask for pats on the head, when all you can do is lose. I know I’m far from perfect but you know I put you first. Take me as I am, baby you could do worse. Where did I go wrong?

Stop thinking about what you’re not Start dreaming about what you want There’s so many things you can settle for And lives that you won’t lead You're stuck counting the days to infinity A crest you can’t see You don’t want to be here your life's so unforgiving there’s no silence to be on your own How can you just sit still here When there’s life you’re not living Someday you'll find out on your… In your own time maybe you will change it In it's own time it will level your heart In your own time maybe you will wake you up When it comes time maybe you'll start thinking Where you've ended up on this short road Make up your mind, define your own meaning Before you find yourself feeling… You don’t want to be here Your life's so unforgiving You have no silence to be on your own How can you act so sincere When you know you're pretending Someday you'll find out on your own Hey you over there believing, that your sacrifice will lead you to some meaning There’s some truth in there believe me, but today’s worth more than you could ever know How can you want to be here When life's so unforgiving and there’s no silence to be on your own How can you just sit still here When there’s life you’re not living Someday you'll find out on your own In your own time maybe you will change it In it's own time it will level your heart In your own time maybe you will wake you up

Cool Water 03:40
When Providence has let you down And fate cast you aside Feel like a good kid in the wrong time Caught in a circumstance of life I will see you to the morning I will keep you in the night I will take you through the shadows I will see you to the light When burning fires light up your sky And the blazing heat bears down on you When you’re tried, troubled, and distressed May you look up to the sky, and feel cool water coming down Let it rain on you… Not enjoyment, and not sorrow Is a destined end or way But to act, so that tomorrow Finds us farther than today May these trials and tribulations Bring about your best, to deliver you from pain May you rise above this condition Rise above, and go dancing in the rain When burning fires light up your sky And the blazing heat bears down on you When you’re tried, troubled, and distressed May you look up to the clouds, and feel cool water coming down Let it rain on you…
11.
Falling 04:51
I’m falling, falling again My friend, I wanna be there again Had you out ‘till a quarter to four But we still wanted a little bit more I kissed your lips, porch lights flickering I wanna see you again. When can I see you again? The morning sun through the blinds Across your body, the beautiful lines I was a happy man, a lucky man I wanna see you again, just see you again I don’t need to take a picture, you’re a fixture in my mind I just want to pull you closer, shapes in motion, intertwined I’m falling, falling again My friend, I wanna be there again The first time you looked in my eyes and said you loved me, I could’ve just died And been a happy man, a lucky man, Oh would you say it again, oh say it again I realize that love is blind Then changes come, people change their mind But I can be a happy man with you, it’s true I want to be there again Memories in color vision, your my mission in life I still want to pull you closer, let’s go there, make this right I’m falling, falling again My friend, I wanna be there again Let’s not waste anymore precious time We can still be in love for the rest of our lives I don’t want to be without you
12.
Wake Up, Wake Up, Wake Up The morning’s calling you Shake off, shake off, shake off The days that have passed you Pour out of bed on the floor Knot ties in your stomach once more You’re all but dead on your feet Mind’s already down the street Sunlight’s creeping in When your day begins Jump in Jump in Jump in The box they put you in Leave out Leave out Leave out Any words of sin If you don't like it just leave We have plenty more for you seat Are you a company man through & through? We've got all sorts of plans for you When your day begins Show me, show me, show me what you’ve got… Go home, go home, go home and fall on the bed Let go, let go, let go Of the pressure in your head
