You say that you’re right I can’t disagree Even this broken clock can be. It’s old Tell me what works now You say that you care Through all that you do But what’s the allegiance you’re pledging to You try But never through my eyes You’ve been tel...

I thought I heard an angel singing right outside my window bringing all the dreams that I'd been dreaming listening to the wind believing that right here right now we can find the answer no more killing time there's a spell that won't be broken from all the...

that we'll want to bring along? and just what are we letting go of that we'll miss when it's been gone? what will all the children say or maybe just as well forget? we are running as long as time will let us win at a losing bet When will we dance to the beat...

If we give it another try And if it's not a lie I'll have all of the reasons why But when the darkness comes I'll try to find a way To make it through another day When all this pain might disappear But do you think there's really a way out of here? ----all o...

Wanting to be what you're selling to me Hurting to own all the happiness shown Over some line you continue to hide You life me up to throw me down You stoke the fires to watch me drown You're turning all the upside down All the noise without a sound Stealing...

Taking me in and then Turning me 'round and then saving the day Tell me what's right and then Show me I'm wrong and then You make it okay And all that you see for me What you can be for me Just take it away 'Cuz I've lost my faith in you Now I can...

It was such a simple time Without a point of view Every door was open Every thought was new It seemed so easy then I just let it be Darkness in the corners I could never see Sailing on an open see Guiding stars won't carry me I didn't seem to notice What wa...

We're walking down the road to nowhere No one's noticing the signs along the way Were they here yesterday? I'm watching for a sign from somewhere I can't believe that no one's found a way Or discovered where we strayed But it's just another day for you And I...

You think I'm such a sight to see And you can believe it if it makes you happy How long can you play make believe? I hope there's a limit and it's easy to see Watch another leaf fall from the sky Another year goes by One more chance has died And if I ever le...

It may be time for us to open up our eyes Then maybe one of us could finally realize Is there something I can do? Our hearts are breaking in the stillness of the night But just the thoughts are not enough to make it right Is there something I can say? I se...

Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne. And there's a hand, my trusty fiere!...

You say it's all been said and done The wars were fought The battle's won But in the light of a rising sun The scars are deep on every one. All that I gave Was taken away I thought there were rules to the game that you played. An opening It tak...

When I go to sleep at night I wonder why I don't feel the pain From where the sun is shining bright But empty shells of lives remain I know the news will tell me why And we'll watch others take the fall But who will hear when someone cries That saving one can...

I can't bite the line That tells me what to feel So I'll keep trying to find The reason this stays real It doesn't really live in the houses I know It doesn't seem to grow in the fields we sow And all I really hear are just words bought and sold Where's the...

What can never be Without honestly Still denying what you can If we're safe to sleep What is yours to keep? Holding freedom in your hand After all the hearts are broken Faith and hope are gone Can we all join hands together? Just to break the fall Break the...

Shape me into what you want to feel Turn me into what you want to see I'll take it all and turn it back so sweetly That we'll believe it's what we want to be We'll walk in step and watch the grasses sway And all that time we'll start to melt away As if the en...

I can't recognize the signs that seem so clear And I don't listen for the things you seem to hear Now the world is broken open Now I know but I was hoping Can't there be a happy end or something more to show I'll try to understand the things I feel so near...

And so you promise me That you'll do anything I'm putting all my trust in you Again And yes it's different now But can you tell me how To open up this heart and love you Again? Can I Be sure That you won't want that anymore? Can I Be sure That you won't hurt...

Is there a place Where we can go A silent space that we both know If we take our time All that's yours and mine We'll find an answer there Can you feel it? Love in the time that we live Can we love in the time that we live in? If there's a way Then we will...

There isn't a way to change your mind There won't be a trick that I can find There isn't a plan that I can use Nothing can stop the pain for you And I'll try to be The thing I always wanted to be And I'll try to say The things I always wanted to say Watchin...

What will it take for you to stand up? To see the truth for where it lies. First they make you blind And then they get you right between the eyes Paralyzed You can’t tell me what you’re feeling You’re numbed with poison for the pain Cuz everywhere you...

You talk about a new direction On roads that only you can see I'm listening on a bad connection Hearing words that make no sense to me Don't be a version of a sad perfection Of someone else's mediocrity But I don't see you making one concession To make the wo...

Lully, lullay,* Thou little tiny Child, By, by, lully, lullay. Lullay, Thou little tiny Child, By, by, lully, lullay. That woe is me, poor Child for Thee! And ever mourn this day This poor youngling for whom we sing By, by, lully, lullay. 

There's a ghost here A memory I still see Made of everything I thought that I could be It's in the shadow growing longer next to me I don't know that it's true or what it means to you but one more compromise sounds a lot more like suicide I hope the truth ca...

Dixieland, you've done it now! Hypnotized the world, and how! With your raggy syncopation, You've captured every nation; Dixieland, you've set them wild, But they are pleased; They're ravin', they're cravin' For your melody! Dixie filled the whole wid...

I don't have an answer To what it is that we're after When I try to find it All I get is more blinded Meaning is missing And holding on is just wishing I know the sun is shining Shining down on someone I know the sun will find me The sun will find me too Nev...

Where did you go? Why didn't you tell me? Where did I go so wrong? When did you know? Why didn't you show me? How could you wait so long? You told me it was real You told me it was true You showed me I could feel And I believed in you What did you see? What...

You're working the whole night through There's nothing that you won't do Determined to face the obstacles in front of you Now there's nothing that you can't be There's nothing that you can't see I'm watching the sun shine down the road in front of you You ge...

The sun breaks through and finds you there The broken pieces everywhere No one called to save the day Like last time This would have happened anyway There's no more hiding what you say You turned it on yourself today So I'll say Good bye Good bye Knowing tha...

I've seen enough to know it's wrong It's plain to see it won't last long I've heard enough to know what you're Not saying It's passed the point of no return You crossed the bridge and then it burned What does it take to keep you nerve From fraying How do you...

Everything got turned around you see What was up is down as plain as it could be And we're all out to sea Seems like everyone is paralyzed Staring blankly at a screen that feeds the lie It's eating from inside If nobody ever sold you Do you think you...

Knowing you can't hear me Doesn't make it easier To say All the things I never could say When you were so much closer to me There never was an answer A simple explanation for the reasons You held on You held so tightly to the things that you'd leave I didn't...

I can tell you what I see But I can't change your point of view I'll show you what you mean to me But can I make it up to you? We know what's done The time has passed It never will come back for you You can make the lessons last But only if you want them to...

Let's take the extra time and tell me everything you know about what makes things right what makes things true for you And then I'll tell you everything about the times that I remember talking through the things I never knew I'd never do Everyone can t...

Will you turn around and talk to me? Can you show me something I don't see? If I could hold you, would it set you free? You lose a lifetime in a day or two A shadow memory, just a piece of you I swear I sometimes see a light that's true Watching the screen t...

Every day I walk the avenue Wondering if I'll catch the sight of you If I would turn away I'd still remember what I couldn't say You leave the past behind But all the time it's there to find you So we talk about ourselves And just how it's meant to be Cause i...
