I'll Be Alright
03:00
|
|||
I try to talk all day, but my words won't go my way
I try to talk all night, though my words don't stay so sweet
Well I've been hoping for a moment,
And I've been wishing on some stars
Generating heat, enough to keep it warm at night
Girl I love you madly, but you make me lose my mind
Girl I love you so badly, but you make me lose my mind
Oh I'm fine, I think, I'll be alright
Oh I'm fine, I think, I'll be... I'll be alright
I try to talk all day, but my words won't go my way
I try to talk all night, but my words don't stay so sweet
Well I've been hoping for a moment, and I've been wishing on some stars
Baby, generating heat, enough to keep it warm at night
Girl I love you madly, but you make me lose my mind
Girl I love you so badly, but you make me lose my mind
Oh I'm fine, I think, I'll be alright
Oh I'm fine, I think, I'll be... I'll be alright

I wish I could erase it, I wish I could erase it
Does it still float if I forget, or would a wave wash it away instead
like the way that light travels, swimming around my watery head
monochrome and in reverse, record to recover
But it’s hard to convey, I'm thinking so slanted
and I can't stay, what if I could wish it away
I wish I could erase it, I wish I could erase it
Ooh, am I going insane?
Ooh, it's like I got two brains
and i think i'm thinking
what if i could erase it
I wish I could erase it

And Now (Sunrise)
02:50
|
|||
And now I see this life inside, and now i know where darkness hides
and now i hold each moment tight, and now i dream both day and night
exit the cave, return to your grave
wish for a light, but it never behaves
And now I see this life inside, and now i know where darkness hides
and now i hold each moment tight, and now i dream both day and night
drink from the stream, listen to her
spit in your ear, about the cave that you fear
it's gripping at her, she is tripping at noon
you hold out for light, but it's not coming soon
And now I see this life inside, and now i know where darkness hides
and now i hold each moment tight, and now i dream both day and night
gripping for a bite, but it only bites back
you had your one chance and now it's never coming back
And now I see this life inside, and now i know where darkness hides
and now i hold each moment tight, and now i dream both day and night

The River
04:50
|
|||
Take me to the boat, grab my coat. I want to ride the river with you.
Listen to her voice as the river runs. Every word that it says is true.
Run a wild course. Slip on past the shores to the inlets where our secrets stay.
Not another soul could ever hope to know what the river hides for me.
I opened up my soul to the river. I opened up my soul to the river.
I gave my soul to the river. I'll stay here forever. I'm gonna stay here forever.
Looking at your hands you knew why you left that land.
You know that you wanted to run.
Another dream undone. Now that purple skies are gone
to the river, to the river I'll run.
I opened up my soul to the river. I opened up my soul to the river.
I gave my soul to the river. I'll stay here forever. I'm gonna stay here forever.
Take me to the boat, grab my coat. I want to ride the river with you.
Listen to her voice as the river runs. Every word that it says is true.
I opened up my soul to the river. I opened up my soul to the river.
I gave my soul to the river. I'll stay here forever. I'm gonna stay here forever.

So Quiet
04:04
|

Take me to the boat, grab my coat. I want to ride the river with you.
Listen to her voice as the river runs. Every word that it says is true.
And the wind blows cold, but it’s warm inside.
And the heat looks good, but the devil will hide there.
Holding hands and their fingertips tied. It was just one drink It was just one lie now...
It’s so quiet. So quiet. It's so quiet. It's so Quiet.
Well the clock strikes twelve, but it’s just begun.
They are ringing bells, but you can’t hear none.
And you look on up at the snow coming down.
You can taste the cold. Let it become your soul now.
It’s so quiet. So quiet. It's so quiet. It's so quiet.
It was just last night when it last felt right.
You remember it all, and you hold tight to it.
Like a memory, but it was just a dream.
You’ll Never know for real. Never know the feeling.
It’s so quiet. So quiet. It's so quiet. It's so quiet.
You made up your mind When you left their side.
You knew where to go just by letting go.
You let it fade away like the light from day.
Now you love the night, and how it brings you silence.

You don't know me. Do I want you to?
Because once we go there, there's no backing out of it.
You look out to me. I see your shadow on my feet.
Follow closely. Do you want to know me? Do you want to know my secrets?
I know, I know. You're not supposed to know.
And yet, and yet it's you I want to show.
I'd give it all away just to hold onto a piece of you.
Just say you want me... too.
Walking out into the night. Hope you catch me quickly as I drift past.
Don't you want to follow me. Don't you want to know my secrets?
Now we're moving swiftly. I am the voice you feel inside.
Listen closely. Do you want to know me? Do you want to know my secrets?
I know, I know. You're not supposed to know.
And yet, and yet it's you I want to show.
I'd give it all away just to hold onto a piece of you.
Just say you want me... too.

Secrets
04:00
|
|||
Breathing alone in the depths beneath the sun.
sifting through the debt that holds you under.
You can feel the pull of what's below.
Feel the cool letting you know.
You have secrets chilling in the cold.
You have secrets chilling.
Just about night the creatures come inside.
Saying hello. Crawling on by.
The warmth of the world is gone with the light.
Feel the cool. Feel the cold saving it's strength.
Gathering dreams. A life on below is not what it seems
Gripping for time when time we don't have.
You have to let go just to live.
You have secrets chilling in the cold.
You have secrets chilling.
You have secrets chilling in the cold.
You have secrets chilling.

Does my body look the same? no way.
I can see that in time I've made some changes.
Don't you know that I am always making changes?
Can you even try to stay the same? no way.
I can see that in time we like to change things.
i can see that with time we make the same mistakes.
We make the same mistakes, we make the same mistakes.
Does your body show you faces? no way.
Because you're always moving spaces.
Because you're never in the same place you know it when you're in stasis.
You know you're in the same place and you know you want the same things.
And you know you wanted wings. You wanted wings.
We make the same mistakes.
We make the same mistakes.
We make the same mistakes.

When You Lay Your Head Down
When you lay your head down, and I am not around,
do you think gosh this hurts, to be alone?
When you shut your eyes tight, and I am not in sight,
do you think gosh this kills, to be alone still?
No, no. No I don't. When I'm alone the world is my own.

I'm just waiting for your love. I'm just waiting for your love.
'Cuz it comes and goes away from me.
So I'll stay close, and I'll wait.
I'm just waiting for your love. Oh I'll never get enough.
I'm just dreaming about your love, and I'm never waking up.
'Cuz it comes and goes away from me, but baby who knows?
So I'll dream...
'Cuz it comes and goes away from me. So I'll stay close, and I'll wait.
'Cuz it comes and goes away from me. But baby who knows?
So i'll dream...
I'm just waiting for your love. I'm just waiting for your love.
I'm just waiting for your love. I'm just waiting for your love.
