Deceiving Me
04:48
|
|||
This city it never looks the same to me
The oceans, the sidewalks, go on so endlessly
The one thing I do remember, is the way she looks at me
Like raindrops, or the waves when they crashed, I recall so vividly
I am not taking this lightly, is my mind deceiving me?
Is this all just make believe? Is my mind, is my mind?
Is it real or just a dream, deceiving me?
I stop and I look out, I hear voices, they are telling me
Don't ever stop searching you'll be fine it’s just a memory
Lavender, it grows like jasmine or pink roses
A garden, an ocean, am i drowning in a mystery?
I am not taking this lightly, is my mind deceiving me?
Is this all just make believe? Is my mind, is my mind?
Is this real or just a dream, deceiving me?

Na na na na na
Here I go again now, lost inside many shadows and
I'm so glad you came ‘cause we're so far behind
Nothing left to prove now, I gave my best and then suffered from
The same old test and then I, Hear from the rewind
Na na na na na
Keep a record of things, you never know what you're gonna need, Reiterate, the slate, keep-up with faculty
Repetition teaches, just repeat what you hear and read
Seeing is believing, show less apathy
You said it again now, we said it again now,
She said it again now, he said it again now,
We said it again now, you said it again now, we said it again now
Na na na na na
Let me show you, the way I feel, let me show you, it will haunt you
I need some simplicity to make this right
Or we'll be out of key stuck in hopeless nights
Can we just believe to keep this out of sight?
The wait is killing us, it haunts you am I right?
Na na na na na

The Clumsy One
04:55
|
|||
You talk to me like words float over head
Making up whatever it is you need to believe-in
Comic strips are flashing in your eyes
Now a sense of humor is all you really need
Now I'm the clumsy one and you're the fully-loaded gun
I set you off and you'll be on the run
Whatever it is that you will want to hear
I said it, I admit it, whatever I just don't care
Comic strips are flashing in our eyes
Now imagination is all we really need
I'm the clumsy one, and you're the fully loaded gun
I set you off and you'll be on the run
ooh and we just got started
ooh you do keep me guarded
oh my my I hope it’s not the end, the end
but then again, again, again, again, again, again
I'm the clumsy one and you're the fully loaded gun
I set you off and you'll be on the run, I set you off and you'll be on the run.

Ever Changing
04:32
|

You said it was nice, to see her, smile today
She just looked at you and walked away
Things are ever changing, for good, like yesterday
You won't even try, to say, what you feel inside
When you're wrestling with the demons all the time
Thinking life’s a mistress by your side
You said it was nice, to see her smile today
You've waited all last week, for that one thing to say
When calls on the phone go un-answered
You crumble and feel like no one is listening
Wrestling with the demons all the time
Thinking life’s a mistress by your side
You seem to always forget the brightside
But you've never been so desperate, yeah
La la la la
La la la la
Always on your mind, always on your mind
When you’re wrestling with the demons all the time
Thinking life’s a mistress by your side
You always seem to neglect the brightside
And you’ve never been so desperate, so desperate
When you said it was nice

Safety Signs
03:29
|
|||
Restless once again, feeling like the dead, discovering the might have beens
Someone from afar knows they have your heart, and struggles to put it back again
It may take a while, so hold on, the futures gonna listen, looking out for you, like safety signs, the futures going to listen
Traveling by train, making your own way, the tracks to nowhere speak your name
Windows with the bars, rooms with witness stands, the love in you will rise to avenge
It may take a while, so hold on, the futures gonna listen, looking out for you, like safety signs, the futures going to listen
It feels a long way from your home, your home
It may take a while, so hold on, the futures gonna listen, looking out for you, like safety signs, the futures going to listen
It’s coming up on you, like safety signs, the past is in remission now

We Aren't Racing
04:19
|

Stars are lining up with you in mind
You’re the one that I was meant to find
When they are racing to the skies above
We aren't racing we just fell in love
ohhh ohh ohhh Slow it down
ohhh ohh ohhh ohhh ohhh
ohhhh ohhh ohhh
ohhh Now
ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
I believe its beauty by design
The stars that all line up with you in mind
As they are racing to the skies above
We aren't racing we just fell in love
ohhh Slow it down
ohhh
ohhhh
ohhh Now
ohhh
To lose my faith in all above, would lose my faith in you my love
We aren't racing, we aren't racing

Sailing Reality
04:02
|

Winds are blowing in the street
It’s cold outside and we are working all the time
The kind that cuts right through a breeze
It keeps us guessing, keeps me questioning
Are you? Are you alone, tonight?
Do you ever feel like giving up?
Hold on, Hold on
It’s complicated schemes that keeps us standing, on our own two feet
The blowing in the street, it keeps us moving, can’t stop now, stop now
Across the lot where our eyes meet
The thoughts I seem to never clearly speak
It makes the day feel incomplete
Well it needs expressing, but I’m still questioning
Are you? Are you alone, tonight?
Do you ever feel like giving up?
Hold on, Hold on
The complicated schemes, that keeps us standing, on our own two feet
The blowing in the street, it keeps us moving, sailing reality
Are you just like me? Do you ever feel like, feel like giving up?
The blowing in the street, it keeps us moving, can’t stop now, stop now
We're sailing, sailing...
The complicated theme, that keeps us standing, on our own two feet
The blowing in the street that keeps us moving, sailing reality
And are you just like me? Do you ever feel like, feel like giving up?
I'll be out there every evening, so we keep it up, can’t stop now, stop now

Death Takes Its Toll
04:38
|
|||
ohh ohh ohh
She laughs in the doorway
you're half down the block
who wants silly flowers knowing
the frost has come?
You stare in the mirrors
where objects are closer
the night shift is never funny
when you see she's vanishing
Somewhere, it's snowing
you drive without knowing
inside, she’s dying
alone, she’s crying
Who, would've known?
Caught in the cold
Death takes its toll
ohh ohh ohh
Collapsed at the parade
sedated for sure
batons are a claim for fame
until they hit the floor
Somewhere it's snowing
you drive without knowing
outside, she’s dying
alone, she’s crying
Who, would've known?
Caught in the cold
death takes its toll
death takes its toll
death takes its toll
ohh ohh ohh
She laughs in the doorway
your half down the block
who wants silly flowers knowing
the frost has come?

Can’t Steal Soul
04:07
|

You know the summertime, it always came
The seasons will change, the seasons will always change
Even in winter time the cold regains
The heavens create, whatever they say they will
Can you see the light?
Shining on you, shining on everyone in sight
And do you feel the fight?
The fight is for you, for the things that hurt you inside
Oh you still have soul, no one can steal, oh no, oh no
Oh you still have soul, Impossible to steal, why try? They try
Can you see the light?
Shining on you, shining on everyone in sight
Do you feel the fight?
The fight is for you, for the things that hurt you inside
oh oh oh oh
Can you see the light?
Shining on you, shining on everyone in sight
And do you feel the fight?
The fight is for you, for the things that hurt you inside
Can you see the light?
Shining on you, shining on everyone in sight

I Know It’s Hard
03:59
|

I know it’s hard, it’s hard to sleep
I know it’s hard, it’s hard to keep
those secrets in your head at night, secrets in your head at night
I know it’s hard, it’s hard to speak
I know it’s hard, it’s hard to forget
Everything that happened lately
Everything that makes you hazy
You feel like you can't get away
it feels like it won’t go away
it’s hard to keep your head on straight
it’s hard to think throughout the day
Memories of past refine, situations that remind
it’s hard to learn when you're away
it’s hard to learn when past won't fade
Move child, drive in the midnight, don't lose control
Move child, take in the midnight, come on, let it flow
I know it’s hard it’s hard to think
I know it’s hard it’s hard to see
when memories make you go blind
like situations you can’t define, It’s hard
Move child, drive in the midnight, don't lose control
Move child, take in the midnight, come on, let it flow
Make room child, push all the angst away, tonight let it go
Move child, take in the midnight, come on, let it flow
I know it’s hard, it’s hard to sleep
I know it’s hard, it’s hard to keep
those secrets in your head at night, secrets in your head at night

She’s so tired, up all night, thinking about the day
She’s been waiting, so frustrating, thinking "Why should I stay?"
Angie left today, she didn't even smile and all the while you say
"Ohhh, ahh ahh ahh ahh, things don't always go your way"
The sun beams down, on her face, all she needed was shade
Nights go cold, days grow old, the memories never did fade
Angie left today, she didn't even smile and all the while you say
"Ooh, ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh things don't always go your,
ahh ahh ahh ahh, things don't always go your way"
Angie left today, she didn't even smile and all the while you say
"Ohhh. ahh ahh ahh ahh, things don't always go your
ahh ahh ahh ahh, things don't always go your
ahh ahh ahh ahh, things don't always go your way"

Newfound View
05:19
|
|||
Oh I look up, skies disappear
Oh I see you now, you're still
The sights that I loved most, are distant now
Crystal clear was once, but now is gone
Oh it’s such a different view
Now that I have eyes for you
I’m so focused on, nothing now but you
The streets are empty but, it doesn't mean it’s true
Not what I had thought, from my point of view
They see headlights but, all I see is you
Oh it’s such a different view
Now that I have eyes for you
Always such a newfound view
Now that I have eyes for you
