Do you remember
Standing at the edge of the world
I know it's heavy on your shoulders
Like burdens on a kid
And it's hard to let it go
You still see reflections
I see so much, so much more
It seems like we're caught in between
We don't know where we are
But we know where we want to be
We're aging like dogs and chasing the wind
When the nighttime comes, we're alive
And the mornings, we'll fade when we wake
Tell me what has changed
Have we really grown
Yeah, what is so much different now
Than six years ago
Do you feel the walls
They're giving in, they're giving in
It seems like we're caught in between
We don't know where we are
But we know where we want to be
We're aging like dogs and chasing the wind
When the nighttime comes, we're alive
And the mornings, we'll fade when we wake
Have you ever felt like you've been here before
Have you ever felt like you've been here before
It seems like we're caught in between
We don't know where we are
But we know where we want to be
We're aging like dogs and chasing the wind
When the nighttime comes, we're alive
And the mornings, we'll fade when we wake

Safe & Sound
03:37
|

You're waking up slowly
You're eyes fighting the light
and it feels just like your dreaming
so please, just hold on tight
Because it seems to me
that somewhere deep is buried
every memory you found
And now it's over
You're safe and sound in here
The storm is over
Please don't leave me here
Don't leave me here
Your face can light up
An entire room
And your smile is like a spark
That ignites the passing world
Still it seems to me
that somewhere deep is buried
every memory you found
And now it's over
You're safe and sound in here
The storm is over
Please don't leave me here
You can stop running and hiding
turn around there's something here for you
I'm sitting in this white room
I'm sitting here alone
I'm holding onto something
I swear I won't let go
And now it's over
You're safe and sound in here
You're safe and sound in here
You're safe and sound in here
You're safe and sound in here

She's been here before
She's walked this lonely road
A million times or more
Yet she can't find her way
To where the sun is fair
And she's just a little girl
With a ribbon in her hair
She is, she is something to behold
She is, she is the story never told
She's searching for something
To crave, to crave
She's searching for someone
To hold, to hold
She'll fight until she wins
She always find a way
To crawl under your skin
Yet she will spend her time
In fields and open air
And she's just a little girl
With a ribbon in her hair
She is, she is something to behold
She is, she is the young heart of the old
She's searching for something
To crave, to crave
She's searching for someone
To hold, to hold
She's finding a way to higher ground
Rebuilding the walls that once broke down
She carries a smile where others frown
She'll never give in
She won't back down
She's searching for something
To crave, to crave
She's searching for someone
To hold, to hold

Dancing In The Rain
03:42
|

|
Usually, I would fall apart by now
But not this time around
And lately, I've been feeling different
I can make it turn around
And I don't mind
That I can't see the stars tonight
Because the dark is just as comforting with wine
And dance away regret
Away the lies
Leave the past behind
And dance away the hurt
Away the pain
We're dancing in the rain
Usually, I would never ask for help
Let's mend that which is broken
You and I are upside down
And awaken
Open up your eyes tonight
Let us stop existing and breathe life into this night
And dance away regret
Away the lies
Leave the past behind
And dance away the hurt
Away the pain
We're dancing in the rain
You know I don't mind
That I can't see the stars tonight
Because the dark is just as comforting with wine
And dance away regret
Away the lies
Leave the past behind
And dance away the hurt
Away the pain
We're dancing in the rain
And dance away regret
Away the lies
Leave the past behind
And dance away the hurt
Away the pain
We're dancing in the rain

Breathe Easy
03:57

Let me say
I can't live before you arrive
Don't wish to live without
These days are clouding up my windows
But that's okay
My vision scares me so
But let me speak now
I now that I'm not perfect
I promise you I'm real
And I will always be
Settle down
Breathe easy
We will make it out alive
You and I
I long for company and pleasure
My best friends
Are solitude and time
Yet I remain conscious of my errors
But I don't blame
No-one besides myself
So shed your skin
And loosen all the ropes
And chains that bound your feet
And rise above it all
Settle down
Breathe easy
We will make it out alive
You and I are one of a kind
So never let this go
Never let it go
I can't change
And I can't feel
And I can't wait to have you here
Settle down
Breathe easy
We will make it out alive
You and I are one of a kind
A kind, a kind
One of a kind
One of a kind

Watch The World
02:47

I've waited so long to call you
But I can't find the words to say
Try and persuade myself to let it go
And watch it fade away
But I can't react
I can't do this by myself
Do this by myself
And I watch the wind blow through your hair
Feel the summer breeze that fills the air
Wipe away your tears
And then I'll say
That nothing else will ever matter
As long as what we have will never change
I've waited so long to see you
But I just can't find a way
Try and remind myself it's not that hard
Yet I stumble every day
And why can't broken hearts fix themselves along the way
Fix themselves along the way
And I've waited for the time to pass away
Watch the sun set on the ocean
And the clouds that disappear behind the bay
And nothing else will ever matter
As long as what we have will never change
Never
I watch the world spin out of control
Watch my best laid plans drift
Amongst the waves from the shore
And nothing else will ever matter
As long as what we have will never change
Never

Words Fall Short
03:57
|
|||
|
I'm standing here outside your door
I've gathered my thoughts and my things
But the words fall short
It's twenty past two and I'm falling apart
Wondering how it got down to this
But the words fall short
And I miss the things
Like the look on your face when it rains
And your bright eyes are wide awake
Won't you close them softly
And sleep tonight
And you'll find what you're looking for
So this is how it ends
With wet streets and empty promises
And the words fall short
Yeah, the words fall short
And I miss the things
Like the look on your face when it rains
And your bright eyes are wide awake
Won't you close them softly
And sleep tonight
And you'll find what you're looking for
And you'll find what you're looking for

Slow Down
03:49
|

|
Slow down, place your head upon my lap
Feel the wind dance on your skin
Let the water pull you in
Lie down, place your body next to mine
There is so much in this world
but so little of it, time
Is it what you waited for
Is it what you waited for
I am why you fall apart
When all you wanted was the space to be yourself
Slow down, draw the chaos for your life
Pull the seasons from your memories
Set your differences aside
Lie down, take a breath of ocean air
Close your eyes in bitter sigh
Embrace the comfort of the night
Is it what you waited for
Is it what you waited for
You are why I fall apart
When all I wanted was the space to be myself
You are why I fall apart
When all I wanted was the space to be myself
Because what makes you vulnerable
is what makes you beautiful
Because what makes you vulnerable
is what makes you beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
We are why we fall apart
When all we wanted was the space to be ourselves
We are why we fall apart
When all we wanted was the space to be ourselves

The Winter Has No Hold
03:39
|
|||
|
I'm letting go of this
I'm letting go of everything
Materialistic things
There's nothing here I'll miss
And it seems like yesterday
We'll both just drift away
and fall asleep
and let the warmth sink in
The winter has no hold
There's a life I've never known
There's a world I've never seen before
And it's what I'm looking for
Is it too much to ask of you?
Now all that's left is rain
The worst part of the storm has gone
It washed away our pain
We're stronger, yet we're frail
It seems like just before
We'd always reach for more
and fall again
I guess we'll never learn
The winter has no hold
There's a life I've never known
There's a world I've never seen before
And it's what I'm looking for
Is it too much to ask of you?
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough, enough
There's a life I've never known
There's a world I've never seen before
And it's what I'm looking for
Is it too much to ask of you?
Is it too much to ask of you?

City Of Angels
04:17

Listen to the words
As they come drifting by
and roll across your tongue
I'll watch you while you burn
and set the world on fire
as you're walking by
Hear them as they speak
They'll whisper through the walls
if you read between the lines
I'll hold you while you burn
and set the world on fire
as you're walking by
Make me believe this is the city of angels
I hear the voices of the winged and the damned
But it's all in my head
Yeah, it's all in my head, my head
Imagine where you are
Now picture were you'd be
if you never gave in
I'll kiss you while you burn
and set the world on fire
as you're walking by
Make me believe this is the city of angels
I hear the voices of the winged and the damned
But it's all in my head
Yeah, it's all in my head
Make me believe this is the city of angels
I hear the voices of the winged and the damned
But it's all in my head
Yeah, it's all in my head, my head
Make me believe this is the city of angels
I hear the voices of the winged and the damned
But it's all in my head
Yeah, it's all in my head

Imitating Art
03:54

So here's to what we've seen
Where we've walked and where we've been
Each story has a fascinating scar
And you will always be a photo box of memories
And I will just be imitating art
We've made it to the end now, baby
But we're still on the edge
So save me
Yeah, save me
Looking back at yesterday
Feel it fading, can't you see
That all the images the mirror feeds
It brings us to our knees
So here's to what we've seen
Where we've walked and where we've been
Each story has a fascinating scar
And you will always be a photo box of memories
And I will just be imitating art
Let us find the truth we seek, yeah
Wherever it may be
We'll get there
We'll get there
We're still learning as go
So pick us up from down below
We remember all the words they said
They echo through our heads
So here's to what we've seen
Where we've walked and where we've been
Each story has a fascinating scar
And you will always be a photo box of memories
And I will just be imitating art
So here's to what we've seen
Where we've walked and where we've been
Each story has a fascinating scar
And you will always be a photo box of memories
And I will just be imitating art
Yeah, I will just be imitating art
Yeah, I will just be imitating art
I will just be imitating art
