Take The Fall
04:21
|
|||
|
I don't mind, your eyes down to the floor as my body hits the door.
And I'll be kind, and start the conversation and pull you out once more.
Let's rise above. Isn't this the light we've been speaking of?
And one day we'll see the light we've been dreaming of.
You're caught in tradition.
And you're lost in superstition.
I support your intuition,
But at what cost to them all?
Will I take the fall?
It's more than shy, do you even see the person before your very eyes?Have you heard of the ties that bind?
This common ground,
Is where I find my strength and where my hope is found.
And one day we'll see that love will abound.

Another Poem
04:09
|
|||
|
This storm's on
For three days now
And through the gray
I am breaking through to gold
Here's another poem
Here's another song for you
Here's another hope for another day together
Too long clouds
Are not parting
But through the haze
I am seeing through to home
Here's another poem
Here's another song about you
Here's another hope for an entire life together
There's no peace of mind
When we're lacking information
We are just like dreamers
We are just like strangers
In time
We'll get the inclination
To look beyond these storm clouds
To put it all behind us
To put it all behind us

In Here
05:16
|
|||
|
So deep in my brain
There's a place where I go
Where I go, when I'm too low to cope
Buried deep within my head,
Where my eyes cannot get
And my ears will not let sound in
When thunder claps are breaking into my head
When butterflies disrupt my rhythm within
When bells start to ring steadily in my ears
You can find me in here
I'll be hiding in here
In here
So deep in my heart
There's a song that flows on
On and on, it's a flame that burns long
It is a safe cave
A warm place I can go
Where I go
It's a haven of sound, of sound
It is life

Boom Hey
04:56
|
|||
|
Saw you on the surface
And wouldn't hear something you'd say
Saw you in the water
Coming 'round my way
Saw you in the waves
And I knew I wanted to stay
I saw you in the atmosphere
And listened to your every word
Saw you in the clouds
And I knew I liked what I heard
Saw you in the air around me
Never wanting to return
And I was like, Boom, Hey!
I got something to say
And you got something I need to stay
I see you in the sunlight
The days pass sweetly by
See you in the lamplight
Right before you close your eyes
I see you in the night
And I'm never leaving your side

Little Things
05:34
|
|||
|
Anything you say
Can be held against you
In the court of my heart
Where have I come from?
Where am I going from here?
Anything we do
Is just frightening for you
In the course of our dream
What does it all mean
To have you here with me once again?
And I know you so well
But do you know me the same?
Where did I get these scars from?
What will be my first child's name?
Where do I go to release some?
What is my favorite game?
These are just a few little things
That one day
Might help me
Decide to stay
Say what's on your mind
And you'll soon find
That your words won't go unheard
And all I ask you for
Is that you listen to mine in return

Yosemite
05:28
|
|||
|
You come to me
To me
I see
You see through me
Through me
Conquer me
Whenever I am with you
I'm with you
In Yosemite
Wherever my life takes me
Take me
To Yosemite
I'll just stay here in this hour
Thinking about us
I'll just hold these memories
'till they turn to dust
Oh, when I need to find
Find some peace of mind
I'll go back in time

Prayer For My Enemy
04:43
|
|||
|
Who will know what's right?
And who will chance a fight?
Not I, not I
How do we get through
To what is pure and true?
Not you, not you
If we could begin to see the light
If these costumes weren't so heavy
And we were free
Oh, and one day we'll run with open arms and weep
It will be apparent all the secrets that we keep
We won't ever mind each other's company
This is my prayer for my enemy
How do we go on?
Once upon a song
So strong, so strong
I could carry you
But you don't want me to
That's you, that's you
If we could travel some 50 years from now
Our hearts would unravel
We wouldn't care how

Full Moon
05:20
|
|||
|
In this darkness
I'm obsessing over loving you
I'm believing that I haven't been the only fool
I can't take this
Aching ever sing losing you
I feel a midnight yearning
And I'm thinking that you feel this pain too
Howl
This is like a howl
My howl
For you
Howl
This is like a howl
My howl
For you
I'd like to imagine
You are the full moon
Calling down to tell me
You will return soon
I'd like to imagine
You are the full moon
Calling down to tell me
You will return soon
I'd like to imagine
You are the full moon
Calling down to tell me
You will return soon
I'm now on a mission
I'm breaking these chains
I am shedding this darkness
You will see me soon

Do you ever really know
Where you're supposed to be?
Are you flyin' in the wind
Or caught up in some tree?
Do you take a look around
And try and get back to the ground?
Only to find the next person's climbed
With such purpose and such drive
So you question your position
And ignore all intuition
Maybe this place
Maybe this place
You were meant to be here
Will you sit and weigh the losses
Or appreciate the costs and gains?
You were meant to be here
Is it courage or conviction
That gets to you at last?
Have you chose a direction
Are you just looking at the past?
Do you take a look around
And try and get back to the ground?
Do you ever really know
Where you're supposed to be?

A Record Of This Place
05:15
|
|||
|
There's got to be a record of this place
Where you don't mind
And all is kind
There's got to be a record of your face
Where I can see your love for me
Your love
And I remember trying to stay awake
To ease worry
And to see you safe
The secrets are the safest way to stay
Where I can see your love for me
But you won't find me
So I will find you
And we will find peace today
You won't find me
So I will find you
And we will find peace always
For our love
In the end, who could take your place?
1,000 strong
But not one close song
And for the record, I can see your face
And I can see your love for me
There's got to be a record of this place

In Dreams
05:12
|
|||
|
I dreamed there was a pond
Deep and still in my backyard
I stood there on the edge
And stared into the water
Then I took a dive
And swam on to the bottom
In time
I'll need what I was after
I dreamed I drove a car
Through the wall of my garage
And on the other side
I searched for what was lost
Then I took a drive
Looking for the answer
In time
I'll need what I am after
When I can't have you walking beside me
Then I'll just leave reality
Since I can't make you appear before me
I'll just have to search for you in dreams
I dreamed I was a crow
Standing on a stretch of road
And with a single mind
Patient, waiting for the time
When I could take a flight
And look on down from far above
So high
Searching for the one I...
Then dive
And zeroed in on finding you
In time
I know that I will find...

On A Sunday Morning
04:42
|
|||
|
It's not something you can put your finger on
It's deeper than a tear, a word, or song
If I traveled 1,000 miles away
I'd remember this feeling until my dying day
Until my dying day
On a Sunday morning
I look up to the sky
And without warning
I feel it in my eyes
I will not lose
I will not lose
My hope
It's not something you can simply put to words
The comfort in the path many have walked
Setting up the future for my mindset
Am I light for ones who are in my sight
As darkness closes in?
As darkness closes in...
