I knew a boy that was swallowed by the sky By the flashing lights I knew a man that got lost in the big dull blue And came out alive I knew a boy, I knew a man Who looked a lot like you I knew a time you could still stand and sigh But the rushing by I knew a...

Twelve steps in to your backyard Through tall green grass, and into the world Ain't it feel right Ain't it feel nice In your own backyard In your own backyard Through dirty winding road, around your feet That carries me along and into the beat Didn't...

I know I'm forgetting something, Something's forgetting me, I know I loose my keys tomorrow, But these toes don't answer me, Did anybody tell you, you don't live here anymore? Don't feel at home in this world anymore, The people in the picture frames, I...

Woke up in Beijing And someone else's arms in me Through someone else's life That I'm not sure belongs to me It was the sound of a city Speaks to me It was the sound of a city Sang me a song For the lonely moments Through someone else's eyes Stran...

There was a house halfway 'round the world And I was invited in for a small taste of gin There was a hallway a thousand birds long But the biggest one of all was in a cage too small I asked the caretaker cause he was the Maker Looked at me and laughed t...

Walk across and talk to me 'Cause it's late and it's midnight Know I need you now Just a little sound to keep me going Oh, it could be easy Oh, it could be easy Walk across and talk to me Little whispers, just a little sound Say what you're thinking,...

Those bright shiny lights They’re shining so bright Casting a shadow On all the simple things you used to own Casting a shadow On all the simple things you used to own. Oh those bright shiny lights They be shining so bright Blinding the simple man Oh what a s...

Tell me where we're going tonight Home is better than wandering in our heads We tried everything to save our love The best was always waiting to come Did we dig too deep For fifty-one reasons not to lose our souls? And it's not that you're not the one A...

We're walking close to Paradise And more than other days Yes, I'm walking closer and closer But not close enough Yes, I'm walking closer and closer But not close enough Waking morning sunshine burns 'Cause you fall from where your felt you are And you're run...

Daydreamer Come talk to me now Daydreamer, daydreamer Come with me now Don't, no you're sitting down From your eyes Is he sleeping anyhow? You're sitting down, sweet eyes Still I'm sleeping anyhow But daydreamer, oh daydreamer Wake me now From fo...

This dream I'm dreaming Won't you wake me up tonight 'Cause this life I'm living Doesn't really feel like mine This strange dream I'm dreaming If it ain't wrong it don't feel right Never thought you were leaving Thought we'd get old, get dressed, and wa...

We are drifting away Follow everyday Soon we’ll have nothing to say We’ll be too far away We’ll be too far away Too far away From where we started today Where we started today We’ll be too far away Cause we are drifting Farther everyday Well I will remember...

I’m getting far from where I woke up this morning Today I’m drifting Today I'm going I'm getting far from my life I'm getting far from where I started today I'm getting far from where I woke up, this morning Seems what I had was drifting away I'm getting far f...

After all the flames in the morning The quiet ashes fell for hours and hours In the morning rise Oh we planted our skin Like a seed in the ground So we dug us a hole And planted our skin Like a seed in the ground To grow again Where the fireweeds grow Where...

Is it just me or do you feel a little strange? Is it just me or do you feel a change? Now, is it me, how about you? Isn't it strange, at times, a little fast Isn't it strange how nothing ever lasts Now, is it me, how about you Oh, now, is it me, how about you...

I'm not gonna lie, I'm not a nice nice guy But I tried and tried but I don't know why Cause when I put my head down sleeping I got this tiny little feeling creeping in the night I'm not gonna say, there ain't no grey grey days But it's cloudy in the best...

She's bored, she picks up the paper There's a magazine cover of the women that hate her But she doesn't care, they don't got what she's got in her She takes a street with a smile in her beat 'Cause her high heels are taller than all of the other girls Ta...

Hearts, watch them falling, watch them shatter together. Because they can't see where they're going, they're just following. Under the weather they follow each other. Run, run, run... Run faster down the breakery. You can hide, keep on hiding, cause wh...

The windows turned to fishbowls The city to seas The cars were drowning underneath your feet The children were swimming from the top of the trees Crowds of umbrellas were staring in misbelief Well mary kept sewing Holding on to her tv Even if the water...

As long as I can turn in circles in your bare arms I don't really care who you are Don't really matter what you are As long as there's something between our arms 

Time was running fast While we were walking so slow As I watched us grow and grow We carried our love in cups to go Grew so tall our heads hit ceilings Trouble seemed so small Outgrew all the doors ans walls We never needed any plans For ends to meet a...

Je te laisserai des mots En sous de ta porte En sous de la lune qui chante Tout pres de la place ou tes pieds passent Cache dans les trous de temps hiver Et quand tu es seule pendant un instant Embrasse moi Quand tu voudras Embrasse moi Quand tu vou...

Is it such a bad thing That I just want to lay down for an hour Is it such a crime That I don't want to think about you know 'cause everything was getting cold outside I saw you standing there Remembered what I was doing here And I know that you know...

Leave a lighthouse in the wild, Cause I'm coming in A little blind Dreamer of a lighthouse in the woods Shining a little light to bring us back home When to find you in the backyard, Hiding behind all, all busy lives Dreaming of a light house in the w...

Breaking down, Your days getting longer There's a yellow glass dragon who's chasing you around Sit your head on a silver jet stream while the smoke is rising over your thoughts and your dreams Watch over you, you watch and fall down Your nuts and bolts a...

Sweet oh luscious life Celebrate your dreams when you are away Doesn’t it taste so sweet? Like it's growing on oh growing on the trees Growing on the trees When you beg me up off the ground I’ll slowly turn you from a frown Sweet oh luscious life My sweet oh...

Gotta keep on waiting for the morning hours Watch them running by to where they’re going Cuz when you're upside down those nuts and bolts feel awfully strange Are crowds of moments feeling all the same Are you tired in the morning do you shout out loud...

I was hiding underneath the sea I was looking out for me To be a better man, to be a better man I was hiding underneath the sea I was looking out for me Just me, the fish and the sea Just me, the fish and the sea Oh cause the music was so much louder Just me...

Tell me where the wind is blowing 'cause that's where the music's going You are my big dark blue and I wanna swim all around you You are the sweetest melody I never sung I feel like I know you but you're just a ghost to me And when I sit beside your shadow...

It's late in the night It's late in the night for a start It's quiet again Too much for noise to go on To fill up the space To fill up the rooms on Sunday afternoon For your lovely ears Waiting for something to break this calm Send you my love in the...

You could have stepped to the top of the water poles Into the wells of the shimmer love She's gonna drive you to the shores But you don't know who you are I tell her take your time now You're gonna take, take your time Walking through the city of too ma...

Deep Deep in the tallest clouds A man lost his way A 69 Chardonney Sitting beside There lays a traveling man Who fell from the skies Selling some piece of mind A man Swimming with sharks in his glass Can't find his way Convinced to the empty space...

There was a time Where our years just felt alive Well the world started to change And it never quite felt the same And the sky turned to fire And the people cried Oh why, ooh So they (looked) far and wide When the answer was in front of their eyes Little chi...

Sit down beside me, and stay awhile Let our hearts do their parts With wine and words to meet the hours So the day never starts Cause thats what I want Thats what we need Cause thats who we are Cause thats what we need Aaaaaa lalalalaa..... Sit down...

Slip into your skin and spend the night And get out mine Walking the streets in dark Where lamps are the sunshine for the trees Oh for the trees. Cause everybody needs somebody To hold them down Oh everybody needs somebody To hold them down When your feet are...

Mmmmmm, It's Right about time You better pick your poisons right Take a little walk with me now Take a little break from thinking all the time Cause I need a fever darling To make it on top To put a little smile To give me back the child Sometimes...

Bad day, looking for a way, home, looking for the great escape. Gets in his car and drives away, far from all the things that we are. Puts on a smile and breathes it in and breathes it out, he says, bye bye bye to all of the noise. Oh, he says, bye bye...

Would you rather be more than the things that you say Or just be the words that you sing to yourself in your head When nobody's around Or would you rather be a part of the crowd or just a single sound Waiting to be heard Do you know what I mean Well you...

Found himself out into the road the dust up to his nose put that anchor down to find a place where he could go 'cause he was looking for the shelter from the storm you were looking for a place that you could call your own... you... kept on, now walking past...

There is a house built out of stone Wooden floors, walls and window sills... Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust... This is a place where I don't feel alone This is a place where I feel at home...* Cause, I built a home for you for me Until it disappea...

Oh I got a feeling And it's shaking in me now I don't know the reason why Oh I got a feeling And it's burning in me bright Burns me a hole straight through all of my heart So I went down to the riverside And I lay down there for hours And I jumped i...

Stop Can't you hear the noise Get out of the morning arms my dear And walk into the morning's light Ah Turn in to the sound Need to get ourselves from going over Need to get ourselves from... Oh- Ah Taking crazy hearts Oh, crazy hearts We gott...

I got my feet knocked off the ground I got my head knocked off my feet I tried to swallow all of the world And now I’m diving in too deep And now I’m falling towards the sky I just don’t know how am I But I got the weight of all the world I better not l...

Life sings a heavy song I put my wolf suit on And I howl all all the night I run around and lose lose my mind To where the wild things are I go where the wild things are I take a boat all year long And there's monsters that are chasing me all day long...

I wish I'd be in your wooden arms That'll swallow me into a thousand dreams And held me close while wooden eyes That weep just like a willow tree I wish it would be in black and white But at least I will sleep in your wooden arms tonight In your wooden arms,...
