All I need is time to breathe, boy Pack my things All I need is time to breathe, boy Pack my things Theres not always reason for the things in life(Life can be unfair) And sometimes you've gotta let love just slide(I need to move on but boy) I know its...

Sometimes I lie awake and I wonder how you're doing It's been a long time since we spoke Last time I was there you had music in the air We listened till the stereo broke I told you I believed you it's not really true I only want to see you come alive Win...

I was a lonely boy Out there searching Couldn't find much joy Too old to fake it Too young to hide it away I played the master thief Stealing the lives of the people I'd meet Faking away each day so gracelessly But there's a price that must be paid...

Oh, they don't know that much about us now do they Slow down let your feelings go No point letting other people run the show Oh, they don't know that much about us now do they Close your eyes let the wind blow through your hair There's no need for you to...

Close your eyes, my dear There's no need to wake We all get tired from the chances we take Wish i could take away the tears from your eyes It's just that sometimes everybody cries Outside the walls around us must be strong when you feel your walking on...

Sister's got her baby now and I'm glad for what she did But her older one's in trouble, man I really love that kid Maybe he could live here, for us it would be nice He needs some time to grow up, needs a father in his life Me I guess I'm lucky, mine have a...

Walk along with me for just awhile This town can beat you down It's mile after lonely mile With so many faces and unfamiliar places every day I started out, I came here all alone Now win or lose I know I never can go home 'Cause they'll laugh while they...

Just in time the morning came Stopped my mind from dreaming And I tried to sweep the night away Stepped out on ice cold floor Sun was hazy, sky was grey I thought of how we used to be Just two together wasting time Not needing any more And I'm losing m...

At least we had the sense to know what's done is done Now I'm not saying we never had fun We made love like a speeding train but we'd end up back on earth again It oughtta've been easy when we got together Sign all the papers, and on with forever No real...

You and me we're not much for talking Quiet smiles and silent walking Riding the waves of sunshine in our time I was driving the dream down the West Coast mountains Dropping a coin in every fountain Moving along til you came on my mind But it's all rig...

I came down the stairs and saw you standing there looking across the crowded room and crying running your fingers through your hair. And Auld Lang Syne was playing people singing sorrow from the year that has gone. And I'm still fooling myself I keep...

You were born on a windswept morn Under the summer sky They moved you past all the kids in your class You never even asked why Oh the golden days Lying awake at night Hearing the ocean spray Nobody counting the lives you've cost No mothers crying for...

There's papers scattered on the lawn, birds up on the line. There's letters left unopened here, that never is the time. There's messages I should return, And people I should call. I'm still tripping over echoes, left lying in the hall. There's a light...

I guess that I was wrong I know I played along and let the little things go by Like the look in your eye You loved me too much Then you loved me just enough to keep me coming back for more Wonderin' what this game is for I'm mad about you Just couldn'...

Up all night and you come here barely alive Move on in real close and just let me drive Outside the window the sun's gone down Night so calm not a soul around We've got reason to fly away Even if ends up being for a single day You just sleep, don't worr...

Second sons are the wandering ones so we were the best of friends. I never felt more like myself than when I stood beside him then. He lived out on the Lisgar Ridge on top of the rocks and sand. He spent his days making ways of bringing water to his lan...

Don't you try to tell yourself you travel undetected When crawling with your face down to the ground She's always got her eyes on you When she gets down Remember all those gentle nights you drifted off believing You'd be safe if you just never made a sou...

Everyone knows it, try not to show it, This city can bring you down I'm a believer some days are hard, but I couldn't leave this town I got a skyscraper soul Like a flower that comes where the sun never goes Skyscraper soul Filling my heart where there...

It's not a matter of being bored But the things that we've ignored Are coming back to haunt us once again I close my eyes, the lights are dim But I see you stagger in With crumpled photographs of where you've been I'm feeling guilty I confess It's hard...

Well I took my car to find you Drove down every lane Looked in all the backyards Then I went back through again Then I took a Greyhound Headed way out West I found some friends who knew you But they told me you had already left Oh why do I need you so...

Too many hands carving up the sky And leaving their mark in the sand Like history moves No matter where we stand Too many hands There's dust in my eyes Poison in my brain An ocean that runs through my veins But here in my chest There's a feeling I do...

Last Friday they had a masquerade Everyone was there All decked out in stars and silver Moonlight in their hair Darkness fell down around us We were lost in the mystery Left our clothes by the side of the road And jumped into the sea Wash me down Wash...

There's a fork in the road, but you never take it Always go the same way home It's 6 o'clock so you're medicated Easy when you're living alone And all the girls who come and go They whisper in your ear “oh baby you know” “Oh baby you know” This town's...

Mama, mama, mama, can you see the water is running high Mama, mama, mama, oh, the water is running high And you just keep on wondering now How in the world are you going to keep all your little babies dry 

Whatever became of the one that we knew When did heartless raven ever become you Pictures on my mantle they're gonna go too Cause you never even noticed the world gone by Could be gone in the blink of an eye What is so wrong, what is so wrong You gotta...

Could it be me, waiting in wonder I don't even know what's in your mind Crowding around, watching your thunder Hoping just to see you one more time Could it be me, out here waiting all night long Could it be me, praying dawn comes along And over my hea...

Stuck out by the highway A cheap hotel room too Lock all the doors and windows Still the desperation's coming through Hard night in Denver You got a friend in New Orleans Sometimes the skylines never look the way they look inside your dreams I don't kno...

I'm sitting by the window with the echoes in my ears Your footsteps walking down the hall Maybe there were words that could have dried up all our tears I couldn't find them at all I've made up my mind I can't do this anymore Can't watch the damage we do...
