No I know I took for granted that things Would always go the way I wanted oh I was going to be a treetop A sea, a boat, a rock of ages I dont always get it right I'd see it in a different kind of light Pay my lip service Keep it eloquent Optimistic but Never...

He's gone 2000 miles It's very far The snow is falling down Gets colder day by day I miss you The children will sing He'll be back at christmastime In these frozen and silent nights Sometimes in a dream you appear Outside under the purple sky Diamonds in the...

Are you blind Blind to me trying to be kind Volunteering for your firing line Waiting for one precious sign The flicker of a smile You should try it just once in a while Maybe it's not quite your style It's simply too easy to do And you might not see it throug...

I am a pain in you're ass And I'm wondering how long it's gonna last Be my mirror, be my friend, Be the workhouse of the energy I twist your arm to spin Everyday, like a power station You know it isn't good I know you're burning too much wood Oh, and you burn...

I need a mirror In the eyes of a man. I need no protection From my bullet-proof plan. I've got a ticket For all that I lack. You might think that I'm always gone But I know that I'm coming back. Sit at my table Sip from my bowl. Feel like I know you now And...

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself So I'm gonna let it do all the talking. I came across a place in the middle of nowhere With a big black horse and a cherry tree. I felt a little fear upon my back He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking....

If I was looking for you Would you be easy to find Would I be looking all night? And if I got lost Would you go looking for me? Or would you be alright On your own? Oh in the light of day It feels right Comfortable to the bone From head to toe Gone the eveni...

Oh tell me how to let it go Just like this? In a medicated bliss Is it still a terrifying overload? A stout defying open road If I pay a ferry boat Will you carry my load? And I'll paint all the ways in which I feel Set my glory alight And my still f...

The wind is cold tonight Or so I am told I don't really know And as I kill my life There's nothing left to show How does that blow hit you? And if I change am I denying what was said? If I remain the same am I creating greater problems instead? Do you ever t...

Somewhere behind us We went the way of the White willow whale Barely holding it All together With a hollowed out nail Lifting off the lid of all I know Lifting off the lid Finding out about a love I'll grow Into something big Stepping in beat As i...

Well I worked it out I gotta say goodbye I can see it clear as day With a naked eye Smells like thunder You look like rain And it's spelling out Disaster is my name Oh we could make it easy We could do it right 'Cos you know the time has come It mu...

I'm a crescent moon Looking for a place to lay my head and settle in Never found a refuge up there in the sky But never thought it would be you and I Was there anyone Able to remain alive upon this place? Space is only precious when I'm filling in All...

Run to the end Run to the end of the pier See how the crows are all Darker than night Blacker than skies in the summer If this is my time Pistons will grind to a halt I lie upon the ground It wouldn't be long Till circles would form in the sky An...

Isn't much more I can do for you Isn't much more that I can try Twisting myself into shapes To stop you crying What'll I do if I lose you What'll I do if I lose Difficulty is coming my way Coming my way Making my way into places Only been seen on you...

[Verse 1] Say you don't listen to every word that I say Kind of explains it all in some peculiar way I know it, and you know it There's no distance gonna keep you safe [Chorus] It was an evil eye (Watching you) Got an evil eye (Look at you) It was an...

You grew wings, on your heart But you let it out your ribcage, And it flew into the dark Like a ghost, just like a ghost And it flutters by my window When I need my sleep the most.. So choose my weapon and choose my way It's easy saying nothing when there's...

I'm trying to put this thing to bed I've drugged it in its sleep There isn't many memories I'm comfortable to keep This ball keeps rolling on It's heading for the streets Keep expecting you to send for me The invitation never comes Each time I turn a...

I’m growing like a seed Rains been falling on me I’ve been covered in cold I’ve been shrouded and downed My heart is on a wire Sailing pretty like a bird But the hunter is out And the eagle is hurt The word that I Feel, feel it all Yes, I can feel...

I'm gonna fall Headfirst and fast like an avalanche Maybe I'll land Maybe I'll crash, I will take that chance ‘Cause there's nothing but air In between me and everything Nothing to keep me from flying aimlessly Shamelessly laughing at destiny And no on...

Locked inside your head Do you realize the things you said Never made sense? We can sit here and laugh But we don't know the half of it, In your defense We've been talking a while And it seems to me each time you smile Lights are coming on But they don't bur...

The girl and the ghost Sit in the corner The girl and the ghost Seems they have a lot to say The girl and the ghost Haven't seen each other in 3 years The girl and the ghost Feel simple seconds slipped away Slipped away The ghost and the girl Commonly connect...

Put your hands on the wheel Let the golden age begin Let the window down Feel the moonlight on your skin Desert wind, cool your aching head Weight of the world Drift away instead Oh, these days I hardly get by I don't even try There's a treacherous road With...

It was the middle of the night When she found there was something On her mind Pointless to fight, there was Nothing to be done about the Persistent nature of it Emanating from the doorframe Was a hum that grew into a roar Followed by the light...

Since you've been gone Gone to the dogs In a round about way You're still sing Singing along I can see it in your face Everywhere you go I'm there with you Still part of you Never let you go at it alone If you do I'll make sure you are standing on your feet C...

Standing on hallowed ground, standing on hallowed ground All folks like to stand here And they're not even from this town When I make myself some money And my path in life is found I'm taking off to find my hallowed ground Well, I'm drinking in the gr...

Hey! C'mon [Chorus] You soft girls Trying to be hard girls You know that nothing changes Just be yourself [Verse 1] Never got a lot of empathy Wearing my insides here on the outside Could've got a little temporary relief Peeling the broadside, gett...

It isn't very difficult to see why You are the way you are Doesn't take a genius to realise That sometimes life is hard It's gonna take time But you'll just have to wait You're gonna be fine But in the meantime Come over here lady Let me wipe your te...

Say you to me You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny Searching the land For a hero of a man You say I need More than my fair share of attention But I think you know That just isn't so Underneath, I felt the fire of a burning question Tearin' m...

All I want is to be everything to you You keep telling me it's easy to do When I think of all the time wasted trying Never getting through Now I'm drinking from the honeydew Give a little give a lot my love It never matters cause it's always enough Jus...

Hopeless Everybody says it's just another decay of the soul But I know I'm a hopeless follower of anything to take me Away from this hole in the ground I found it's hopeless clinging to a feeling Like a fish on a line, so blinded by the lately Hopeless,...

How you kill me I keep filling up with greatness Find myself dumping it roadside Where no one can see me Love give me somewhere to breathe How you kill me Taking up all of my patience Leaving my temper a widow But I don't feel like grieving Should I...

Show me what it is you've done Pull the covers off in front of everyone So you want us all to see What you created for yourself in spite of me You can try to tie me down You can try to string me up But you have no luck now Please don't ever let me down again...

When I had you to myself I didn't want you around Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd But someone picked you from the bunch when glance was all it took Now it's much too late for me to take a second look Refren: Oh baby give me one more ch...

Walking around in the days Out for days now Talking it up as amazing, A maze that I'm in. Looking at the stars for the answers But all that I found was silence and dirty ground If only you could see me now If only you could hear me out If only it was only me...

I thought the candle was gonna go out The wind was blowing and the door was open But the candle never went out, never went out The wave found its way to the shore I thought it was a ripple and nothing more But the wave found its way all the way to the sh...

(Kin You're my kin) Here comes the wave again Hitting me square in the softest places Fear has a designated plan Just for me Quietly can see in (bridge) I know it's just behavior And I should be braver But sometimes I can't be Thanfully, I'm not al...

I slipped softly through your slim fingers Feeling traces, I embrace this Feeling of letting go. Oh and there goes, there it goes... So take me far away And hold me close to your heart Do me just this little favor For I do, yes I do love you. Yes I do love yo...

Following my nose A detective with no lead Only my dreams know What's got into me I run by your side But I'm out of breath Lower than the sea And it's killing me And it's killing me [Chorus] If I choose to go with the way I'm feeling Does...

Shimmy down and bail out The side room of your hotel Seems your dear diary Didn't know you so well What real grandeur had your Weekends to shout about Seems you had a way out Yes you had a way out Starting to kick in Wanting to feel it Som...

Fire me in an oven Until I go hard enough To deal with losing you I'm tired of thinking of you Each and every minute I see Something I know that you'd love We're all made of glass All made of glass Cheating ourselves to believe we'll be last Like a f...

[Verse 1] All this choosing wrongs and losing ground Often feeling lost, just roll it out [Pre-Chorus] But I'm looking for a love, not a heartache Yes I'm gonna take my time Even though I know from the handshake If I wanna make you mine [Chorus] I am...

I don't want to be second best Don't want to stand in line Don't want to fall behind Don't want to get caught out Don't want to do without And the lesson I must learn Is that I've got to wait my turn Looks like I got to be hot and cold I got to be tau...

Remember we'd always see The end as the enemy Now we know it isn't so I've started to realize You've been giving me good advice About where we go And if I ever need you You'll be there In the end Like a miracle, a miracle ref. Maybe when we leave...

Running down the alleyway There's no way out Viscera are all flying at you, gleaming You've got a hole in your trouser leg Oh, you're going down All staring to see how it'll play out Oh, see what you've done here You twisted my arm, oh I can see what'...

There's no better shoulder There's no finer place But one word of warning You'll never be replaced There's no better shoulder There's no finer place But one word of warning You'll never be replaced No Never be replaced No Never be replaced There'...

Oh we are fighters in our prime And as I look to your corner from mine They say the chasm is black and so terribly wide But I believe that's a trick of the eye And there are mountains in your eyes I suppose it should be no surprise The war that you wage...

Look up and he'll seem far away They still see more than you And on my back I see these clouds above They still love me More than you And I know I don't have to wait for words I can walk away and listen to the birds Listen to the birds They don't sing the thi...

Over the sea and far away She's waiting like an iceberg Waiting to change But she's cold inside She wants to be like the water All the muscles tighten in her face Buries her soul in one embrace They're one and the same Just like water The f...

Well this stone that I have swallowed Isn't going down so well And this road that I have followed Is leading me to Hell And you said it didn't matter But I think you're a liar Is this one of your talents That stokes the very fire that burns you Each time you...

May you always, may you always walk in hope And may your days just be a way to walk along the great high road When the dark comes, when the dark comes to your door Will you deny him, don't recognize him He's not welcome anymore In your life, in your life,...

See the look on my face From staying too long in one place But every time I try to leave I find I keep on stalling Feel like a big old stone Standing by a strength of my own But every time the morning breaks I know I'm closer to falling I'm all out of...

Darling, you got to let me know Should I Stay or Should I Go? If you say that you are mine I'll be here 'til the end of time So you got to let me know Should I stay or should I Go? It's always tease, tease, tease You're happy when I'm on my knees One d...

I was happy in my harbour When you cut me loose Floating on an ocean And confused Winds are whipping waves up Like sky scrapers And the harder they hit me The less I seem to bruise Oh when I Find the controls I'll go where I like I'll know where I...

You could have a steam train If you'd just lay down your tracks You could have an aeroplane flying If you bring your blue sky back All you do is call me I'll be anything you need You could have a big dipper Going up and down, all around the bends You could h...

I think it's time to put myself away Seek out a little silence Close the doors and sit a while Walk a little And as I put my words away The flow slows See this pen in a stream Picking it up is easy. Follow the shape of it. Jump in. Swallow it whole. Jump in....

So you think it's funny That you keep calling me all of the time Everyday Oh honey Don't want to be following and falling behind If you're gonna be walking away And I don't know Why I wouldn't follow Wouldn't follow You got me looking up Even when I...

Strange sight You stand in the light You're wrong but you're right My hearts beating wildly Strange How I'm scared but delighted Afraid but excited too You have a cold heart You're reckless and distant But I'll be persistent I will understand you S...

Do you long to be left all alone? Set apart with a heart made of stone There's a light that you shine There's a love, I see it in your eyes Every day, every night I know time may divide But fate is something we refuse to hide And it's real, and it's rig...

Her face is a map of the world Is a map of the world You can see she's a beautiful girl She's a beautiful girl And everything around her is a silver pool of light The people who surround her feel the benefit of it It makes you calm She holds you captiva...

Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty street The sun goes down alone I drive by your house I know you're not home I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun You got your hair co...

Yoooouu Write your songs of love Like the channel of the century And I'm receiving like I'm meant to be Impressed by you Following your lust Like an intrepid adventurer While you leave your trail of disaster Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh S...

Down down cut me down so I can lie on familiar ground Oh I've witnessed all that you ignore and I don't wanna see it no more Hold your knife steady and plunge it deep I'm more than ready for the secrets I keep Oh I can feel and I can see that the hidden...

Let's go for a walk in your garden of Eden You told me about when you were drunk Your fabulous sabotage acting is all that I need to see To know that you're a punk Hazy your days that you cannot remember Behaving in ways that would make you turn green T...

As I walk away I look over my shoulder To see what I'm leaving behind Pieces of puzzles And Wishes on eyelashes fail Oooooh! How do I show all the love Inside my heart Well this is all new And I'm feeling my way through the dark And I used to talk With hon...

I want you between me and the feeling I get When I miss you But everything here is telling me I should be fine So why is it so above as below That I'm missing you every time I got used to you whispering things to me Into the evening We follow the sun and his...

Well it's you I adore And I want everyone to know That I am yours Let all the little flowers bloom once more For I am truly a part of you And you are a part of me Up into the sky Look as far as the eye can see You're in my life As something I am needing Two p...

[Verse 1] There was only black space Life lived in negative Couldn't find my color And there was only one place A potential positive That I could be something other [Chorus] You turned a light on Turned a light on To me You gave me reason For me t...

Under this national rain cloud I'm getting soaked to the skin Trying to find my umbrella But I don't know where to begin And it's simply irrational weather Can't even hear myself think Constantly bailing out water But still like I'm gonna sink Coz I'...

A fire burns Water comes You cool me down When I'm cold inside You are warm and bright You know you are so good for me With your child's eyes You are more than you seem You see into space I see in your face The places you've been The things you have learned Th...

Hold your fire I'm coming out and I'll tell you the truth I was trying to raise my roof Did you see it That I needed to prove That my stinger always stays You said she's beautiful when she plays Did I hit you in the proper place Suddenly I, oh well I...

Circling, Spinning my way apart Losing my pieces all over Now circling With the standing of a sentinel Put in all the hours in Ward off what has been Sent to kill My spin Now I'm still It's you, you I found my way deep inside Now I'm coming Now I...

White bird with a black tail Half dark, and a face so pale Do you know what your future holds? Over your side of the road White bird with a black tail You look like an open sail Made me look up from your shoes To show me what you stand to lose. White bird, w...

Still the pulse survives The conscious candour of our conversation Lovely as you are I see the strain, the pain, the degradation Strips of light delightful Either side of bars so thick and wide You hide them with a colourful sigh Falling at your feet i...
