You're Not Done
03:11
|
|||
I haven't heard from you
Have you been hiding?
Are you ashamed of what you've done?
You can't leave the shade of your dream
You always need help
You can't do it alone
Find yourself
You're not done
You'll always need help
You're not the only one
Do you care about others?
Standing in line with yourself
Lying on the floor
A puppet without strings
You always need help
You can't do it alone
Find yourself
You're not done
You'll always need help
You're not the only one
Running away from who you are
Running away from who you are
Shade of your home
Shade of your home

Stay With Me
03:25
|
|||
If I close it, will you be my baby?
If I lock it, will you stay all day?
If I don't drive you crazy,
Will you come back and stay with me?
Once you start, you'll grow
You can't leave before you go
So you've been where I've been
You got away from what you know
If I close it, will you be my baby?
If I lock it, will you stay all day?
If I don't drive you crazy,
Will you come back and stay with me?
Sure, you've seen the difference
You made a path for your own life
Once I join you, I won't leave
If you say you'll be my wife
If I close it, will you be my baby?
If I lock it, will you stay all day?
If I don't drive you crazy,
Will you come back and stay with me?

Life Is Good
04:58
|
|||
I get up every day
I try to make my own way
One more is enough
I told myself
Help who I can
Be nice to every man
People on the street
People at work
The friends I know
The people I care about
Help who they can
They help me see
Life is good
Life is good
They help me see
Life is good
Life is good
I'm going to mess up
I'll say the wrong thing
If I start over, and tell myself
It'll be ok
I'll help who I can
Never give up
Life is good
Life is good
They help me see
Life is good
Life is good
I'll never give up
Life is good
Life is good

It's Our Time
04:15
|
|||
We waited almost a year
I was ready to fall
It was still there, after all
You invited me back
I wasn't sure I would come
All my plans might end wrong, after all
After all we've done
We deserve to be as one
After where we've been
It's our time to be together
Let's hear the plan
The one you made lying next to me
Another reminder of where we want to be
We'll spend the day walking down the trail
Tomorrow is unknown, on our own
Away from home we'll be
We were married!
Had I known the day I met you
Was the last day I was alone
All the songs that played before
Were for you and I, after all
Don't give up on the right one
Stay alone if they haven't come
I know it's hard
But when you're by yourself
You're not alone
You haven't met yet
After all we've done
We deserve to be as one
After where we've been
It's our time to be together
It's our time
After all we've done
It's our time
We deserve to be as one
It's our time
After where we've been
It's our time
To be together
It's our time
After all we've done
It's our time
We deserve to be as one

Na na na na na
Na na na na na
All I know
I learned
because you took the time
to show me the way back in
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
I'll always remember
Our start in December
The songs we kept hearing
Told us to keep steering
On the road
Through the vine
Up the coast
Right on time
Can hardly wait to arrive
You open up and run to my side
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
All I know
I learned
because you took the time
to show me the way back in
I'll always remember
Our time in December
Na na na na na
Na na na na na

My Brother
02:33
|
|||
He has always been my best friend
I love him forever
Parasol on the water
There is one
My only, my brother
There is one
My only, my brother
I love him, he knows
There will never be another one like him
No one ever
He has always been my best friend
I love him forever
Parasol on the water
There is one
My only, my brother
There is one
My only, my brother
There is one
My only, my brother
I love him, he knows
There will never be another one like him
No one ever
I know
I know

Missing
05:06
|
|||
Missing what we haven't done
You'll be waiting when I've had my run
No more protector, your loyalty,
and your support for me
Missing what we haven't done
Missing what we haven't done
Such a bad influence, and so much fun
Getting chased in the night
Making it home before the sun
Making it home alright
Missing what we haven't done
Missing what we haven't done
Brother you're the only who hasn't gone
Brother you're the only one
Who shares what we've done
We couldn't stay forever
But you promised not to leave
You're always my protector
The only one I need
You would've been the uncle to my son
Making him laugh
you won't get to see your girl grow up
she'll miss you more than me
Missing what we haven't done
Missing what we haven't done
Brother you're the only who hasn't gone
Brother you're the only one
Who shares what we've done
We couldn't stay forever
But you promised not to leave
You're always my protector
The only one I need
Brother you're the only who hasn't gone
Brother you're the only one
Who shares what we've done

When Will It End?
03:56
|
|||
Who's that man walking down the street?
A broken version twisted underneath
He's tired, so cold, given up on growing old
Find more souls
A hollow minded goal
They keep him alive
Reprise his role
He remembers a time he had more friends
They left him buried in the sand
When will it end?
He can't remember
Finding himself on another
Another bender
On another
Eyes peering from warm windows
wet shoes when money dwindles
Stranded on the street before sunrise
Shivering as hope dies
He remembers a time he had more friends
Half hearted smiles sympathy lends
When will it end?
Repeat offender
Finding himself on another
On another, on another
When will it end?

Love You Wrong
03:51
|
|||
Should I go? no
I can't leave, no
I can't leave you alone
Do I love you wrong?
Do I love?
so long, so low
May it come once I go
When you start, you'll know
When it comes, go
Go alone
And she tries to read
Will he stay or will he leave
Will she set him free
One more weak to go
Will he stay or go
So long, so low
May it come when I go
When you start you'll know
When it comes go
Go alone

The Fallen Man
04:25
|
|||
The corner in the middle
A trap I grew into
I'm wrapped up in his life
He's not the friend I knew
I cringe from every call
A bomb of energy
His will, he lies manic rants to me
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
He's been through a lot
I've seen it first hand
He's got a fight in him
He'll make a stand
one more round away from this town
Let go of the past that brought you down
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
I hope he makes it
I can't watch him fall
Failing upward has ended it all
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
Yeah, I hope he makes it
I can't watch him fall
Failing upward has ended it all
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
Once a hero
Now the fallen man
I've given all I can
Once a hero
Now the fallen man

Why Would I?
04:52
|
|||
You shouldn't believe me
I'll say it wrong
Once again I'm a con
I lie, I lie
If i started on the right path
Where would I be now?
I will be here
I won't be home
I'll be on the road unknown
I can't be everywhere at once
I'll be here and then I'm gone
I will be here
I won't be home
I'll be on the road unknown
I can't be everywhere at once
I'll be here and then I'm gone
I've always wanted
What I thought I should have
Why would I? Why would I?
I could've grabbed it
If I wasn't so weak
No respect
I will be here
I won't be home
I'll be on the road unknown
I can't be everywhere at once
I'll be here and then I'm gone
Keep going on
Keep going on
Keep going on
and on, and on
I will be here
I will be gone
Get out of my way
I'm moving on
I have to leave something I've done
I need to share before I'm gone
I am, I was
Start over every day
If I'm honest, no regrets
I will be here
I won't be home
I'll be on the road unknown
I can't be everywhere at once
I'll be here and then I'm gone
Keep going on
Keep going on
Keep going on
and on, and on
I will be here
I will be gone
Get out of my way
I'm moving on

About To Begin
05:41
|
|||
Soldiers landing, weapons drawn
Roll over land, all is gone
Cold faces, blackened eyes
Strange armor from hidden lies
Once it starts, It will not end
Ever what was, never again
What happened is about to begin
Ten hours in
I don't know how
I feel about him
Can't live without him
Once I was strong, not for very long
I will not remember what we did together
You'll fade away
He didn't make it
We didn't win
He fought the battle
It beat him from within
I feel about him
Can't live without him
Once I was strong, not for very long
I will not remember what we did together
You'll fade away
He didn't make it
We didn't win
He fought the battle
It beat him from within
On your way to a place far from the human race
On your way to a place far from the human race
On your way to a place far from the race
Goodbye
