Breakthrough 04:46
You close your eyes for one moment, begging for a change You open them again, and everything's the same As the tears start to blur everything in sight Your eyes grow heavier. Can you make it through the night Can't somebody break my fall Will somebody listen to my call Or is there no one left here at all Maybe it's my fault after all I was the one who fought for you, begging you to stay You were the one who fought with me, pushing me away You were the one who kept everything inside Now I am the one who's leaving you behind Can't somebody break my fall Will somebody listen to my call Or is there no one left here at all Maybe it's my fault after all If only I had white crescent wings and a golden ring on my head I'd soar through the atmosphere instead But if you want to stay alive But if you want to make things right Run for your life, 'cause everything's on the line Run for your life, you're running out of time Run for your life, 'cause everything's on the line Run for your life, you're running out of time

One thing after another you destroy me Take a soul, corrupt it to the core You will never go away as long as I'm alive I will be forced to sit under your watchful eye And I'll never fly I'll never fly You take the best of me and drop the bar A happier place, observed from afar Sitting alone, too weak to try While the world soars by I'll never fly I'll never fly I'll never fly I'll never fly I can complete this journey, but the leash is short I can feel the beating, but I can't see the heart I can touch the door, but it overlooks me No stars in the sky And I'll never fly I'll never fly I'll never fly I'll never fly Take the best of me and carve your name Leaving nothing but anger, hunger and blame Too afraid to say goodbye The world will dry its eyes And I'll never fly I'll never fly I'll never fly I'll never fly

I can't handle myself I can't handle myself The things I make me do The things that I do for you I can't handle myself I can't handle me Whenever I get to thinking Thinking gets to me I can't work with this The pain that I dismiss I can't handle myself The voice of dismay I can't stifle myself I can't rise above myself The things that I see Will never convince me I can't lie to myself I can't cry to myself I sigh to myself Don't walk away I can't just fake The jumps I'll never take I can't handle myself But neither could you

Take it from me babe I'll tell you the truth I'm done trying to get Back to you A long time ago all I wanted was something Something that wasn't there It would eat at me each and every day I would sit on the floor and stare How could I make it work How could I show my hurt How could I get back to you This really is not good for me I know this to be true So I make myself forget all about the sad tune 'Cause I know what I want I'm just waiting on you Until that day comes I'm gonna do what I gotta do If you don't know then I don't care We're on a road that's going nowhere Say what's up or say fairwell Make up your mind or you can go to hell Now it's time I talk to you And find out how you feel about me You tell me you don't know, ask me why I care But I just want to make you see The way we act, the way we talk, Even the way we know it's wrong All I want is to make you see The message in this song If you don't know then I don't care We're on a road that's going nowhere Say what's up or say fairwell Make up your mind or you can go to hell If you don't know then I'm not there Leaving me in the dark just isn't fair If you wanna say something let me know If you gotta think then I gotta go If you don't know then I don't care We're on a road that's going nowhere Say what's up or say fairwell Make up your mind or you can go to hell Make up your mind or you can go to hell.

Everybody's running Jumping like it's nothing Knows exactly where they are While I'm just sitting Very very dizzy And I'm missing Never wandering far Don't know where to go Don't know what to do I just can't find my way This road's way too dark Not a street sign in sight So I'll just sit and stay Give me a map I don't know where to go from here Give me a map I'm lost on this dark, winding road Give me a map I don't know where to go from here Give me a map so I can find my way Seems like every time I come up with a plan Everything falls through Everything keeps changing, don't know if I'm ready It's happening way too soon Don't try to keep in shape Don't try to keep up Don't wanna waste my time I'll just sit and play guitar hoping something will come Something that's sublime Give me a map I don't know where to go from here Give me a map I'm lost on this dark, winding road Give me a map I don't know where to go from here Give me a map so I can find my way

I Need You 04:11
I need someone to look in my eyes And tell me, nothing is fair I need someone to stare up at mars And ask, why should we care I need someone to turn off the lights Remind me nothing is clear A life is a life is a life And there is no reason for us to be here I need a friend who can help me forget All the places I've never been I need a guide who knows There's nowhere to hide and no way to win I need you To see the truth You need to know There is no truth I need someone to close my eyes And show me what is real I need someone to turn off the lights Remind me there's nothing to fear And I need to take a long, long walk Off a short, short pier I'll take my time and won't open my eyes til you're here Do you accept the pain Of a fool who can't find a name In these creatures of love who are all the same Or will you follow your heart In a battle you never thought would be fought On your own you can make the change We're not all the same

Secondary 06:34
As slow as time seems to go A beat is always too quick for the tune And time can be a tricky thing When you don't want to miss a thing And nothing's got enough time for you And when we need to let go And watch the distance grow In my eyes it's always too soon When I watch the night fall There are always too many stars Between the sun and the moon And every week makes me weaker When every hour isn't ours So now we might as well forget All the things that we regret And we may have some hope yet We must stay strong And when the world comes crashing Down into a forgotten valley Our world will stand resolute And when the sky is falling We need not ever worry We'll be amongst the stars soon And all the lonely days are over And we've created our own world So now we've gone and we've lost All the things we used to trust And now we walk away untouched And we are free So now we might as well forget All the things that we regret And all the people that we've met WIll hold us back And every minute is too minute Each moment too momentary Every second is secondary To just one second with you

Smile 03:19
When you smile I feel no pain When you laugh I can't turn away In my life there's not a day That I wouldn't love to see your face So smile for me babe Make the darkness go away 'Cause I've never felt as brave As when you're smiling for me babe If my sunny sky turned grey And I just couldn't get away I would just look at your face Embrace the cool, cool rain So smile for me girl Shine a light into my world All my sadness is a blur When you're smiling for me girl So smile for my babe Don't you ever be afraid I will never go away As long as you're smiling for me babe

Headlit 09:40
Can you sense a little danger In the peaceful air tonight Have you ever seen a star Shine a little too bright Would you like to close your eyes And I could be your guiding light Because the world is on your side tonight Have you ever won a battle That you never hoped to fight Do you run away from darkness Into the comfort of a headlight Do you feel that you are mighty When your shadow engulfs the night And the stars inside your eyes ignite If you don't know what it's like to know you I think I can show you That you've got so much And you don't need someone To make you feel loved And under the skin That we were forced to live in There's a light that will never dim So don't waste your time Rehearsing lines You don't know what it's like to know you You don't know what it's like to know you You don't know what it's like to know you But I hardly think I know you at all Can you sense a little anger In the blissful air tonight I can see it in your eyes That it's coming though in mine Has it ever felt so clear That this love would soon subside And that everything must end in time If you don't know what it's like to love you I think I can show you That you've got so much And you don't have to run From the ones that you love And under the skin That we were forced to live in There's a light that will never dim So don't waste your time Wasting mine You don't know what it's like to love you You don't know what it's like to love you You don't know what it's like to love you But I hardly think I love you at all

Falling 03:31
Eyes open wide, I watch a storm approach Falling hard But you won't see it Not til’ it’s come and gone “Look up!” I yell Falling hard On deaf ears And then you’re gone I can show you a clearer sky And I won't rain on your parade I want to be the full moon reflecting off your eyes And I won't leave you in the rain Thighs open wide you lie to yourself Falling hard But you won't hear it Not till he’s come and gone “I’m happy!” you cry Falling hard Falling hard Falling hard I can show you a better time And I won't hurt you, I won't hurt you I'll be there when you’re left behind And I'll never go away I can show you a clearer sky And I won't rain on your parade I want to be the full moon reflecting off your eyes And I won't leave you in the rain Eyes open wide the truth is told Falling hard But you won't hear it Won't want to believe it “Everyone falls,” I'll whisper Falls hard Falls hard But you don't have to 'Cause I will catch you And you’ll never have to fall again

Stick Around 06:15
If anyone could let me know how I've been sticking round How I’ve been keeping up, now I've been staying sane If anything could just feel right now If I could see the light now I would make it right now I would find a way And if you could walk a mile In my blues You'd lose me too And if I could make you smile I might choose To stick to you If anyone could let me show how I've been pushed around How I’ve been getting beat down Cursed by my own fate Not one more day, now I gotta get away now Find me my own place My way-too-late escape And if I could run for miles Into the blue Far from you And if I could break the tiles Blow the roof Fall right through If anyone could let me go You’ll never let me go You’ll never let me go I tried to take it slow But now its time to fly And say my first goodbye As hard as you may try I can't just sit and sing I know how it might sting The loving that you bring Piles on top of me Piles on top of me Its time to let me go Its time to let me go I tried to take it slow But now its time to fly And say my first goodbye As hard as you may try I can't just sit and sing------- (If you’re not gonna kill me) I know how it might sting---- (At least give me the strength) The loving that you bring---- (Im running for my life) Piles on top of me------------ (There’s no more time to waste) Piles on top of me------------ (I wont let myself fall again) Piles on top of me------------ (I will rise above) And now that I'm set free---- (Each week makes me weaker) Its time to let me be---------- (All that is left is love) All I need is a hero------------ (And I don’t need a map) And that hero is me---------- (No roads can take me there) I see across the ocean------- (I’ll dive into the ocean) Far from all the pain--------- (Into a world of change) I’ll outrun the sun------------ (I will outrun the sun) And I'll follow the rain------- (And I will follow the rain)

Luau 03:13
Lei around your neck Flower in your hair Can you feel the vibes throughout the air You've been sailing from far away Searching your whole life Welcome to your island paradise So hula Come dance with me and Hula Flow with the sea and Hula Let your soul be free Come now Come and enjoy the Luau Come take my hand you'll Learn how We all live in harmony We'll watch the sunrise High above the tide Keep your head held high and you'll be fine And when the sunsets Gather round the flame Light your torch and Give yourself a name So hula Come dance with me and Hula Flow with the sea and Hula Let your soul be free Come now Come and enjoy the Luau Come take my hand you'll Learn how We all live in harmony
