Prelude From The Moon
01:04
|
|||
|
if the days keep going by and you feel
scared and lonely
would you cry out for the night
because I'd stay awake until the morning breaks in
bright and early
and hold you till you feel alright
if tomorrow you no longer feel so
scared and lonely
no longer crying for the night
I'll still stay awake until the morning breaks in
bright and early
at least I'll know that you're alright

Dashboard Blues
03:43
|
|||
|
We were driving down the highway
Down the boulevard
Didn't realize that my way wouldn't get us very far
Now the dashboard says we're empty
Running on low
I didn't know
I didn't know
Now the days are getting lonely
Nights are getting cold
Didn't realize it's only what we're never told
When the dashboard says we're empty
Running on low
We never know
I hope it opens up for you
I hope it opens all the roads
I hope it's not the same it was
When I didn't know
When I didn't know
When I didn't know
When I didn't know
When I didn't know
When you're driving down the highway
Down the boulevard
Do you realize that my way
Won't get you very far
When the dashboard says you're empty
Running on low
Now that you know
Now that you know
I hope it opens up for you
I hope it opens all the roads
I hope it's not the same it was
When I didn't know
When I didn't know
When I didn't know
When I didn't know

My Gravestone
03:48
|
|||
|
I don't like what you do to me
you hold tight when I fall asleep
I get angry
I keep everything to myself
but I'm the reason I'm in this hell
I get angry
why does it feel like the mirror is talking
why does it feel like I'm not alone
why does it feel like I'm in better company
when it's only me
up on my gravestone
I like to hold onto what I know
but it feels I'm more lost the more I grow
I need patience
someone once told me to take my time
but it feels I've wasted it on my prime
I need patience
why does it feel like the mirror is talking
why does it feel like I'm not alone
why does it feel like I'm in better company
when it's only me
up on my gravestone
why does it feel like the mirror is talking
why does it feel like I'm not alone
why does it feel like I'm in better company
when it's only me up on my gravestone (x2)
it's only me up on my gravestone (x2)

Stranded
03:33
|
|||
|
I've been holding on too hard
we've been going at this fast
It's been roaming on the edge of something that won't last
maybe this could be the end
maybe we could start again
I've been roaming on the edge of something from my past
and I don't wanna be stranded
I don't wanna be what you need
so tell me where your heart is gonna go
tell me where your heart is gonna go
'cause I don't wanna lose it
I don't wanna lose it
ain't this how the story goes
picture's perfect till it shows
are we roaming off the edge of something steadfast
and I don't wanna be stranded
I don't wanna be alone
I don't wanna be stranded
I don't wanna be what you need
tell me where your heart is gonna go (repeat)

If I Wrote You
03:06
|
|||
|
if I called you in the morning
to say that I've been mourning what we had
If I called you in the evening
to say that I've been grieving would you be sad
If I wrote you to say it's been a while
would you answer and send it with a smile
I'll never know if it got lost among the mail
or if it sailed across the sea to be with me
if I walked up to your door steps
with my dreams and all my regrets would you be glad
If I caught another red eye
it would mean another goodbye would you be sad
if I wrote you to say it's been a while
would you answer and send it with a smile
I'll never know if it got lost among the mail
or if it sailed across the sea to be with me
if I wrote you to say it's been a while
would you answer and send it with a smile
I'll never know if it got lost among the mail
or if it sailed across the sea to be with me
I'll never know if it got lost among the mail
it never sailed across the sea
to be with me

Mental Backroads
03:32
|
|||
|
Close the door you open it
Wait a minute I'm holding it
I wish I knew that moments were true
When they fall in your lap
And have nothing to prove
Wait a while here with me
I'm talking fast you're fast asleep
I wish I had more time to react
But love hits you hard
And love hits you bad
I'm over the moon
But I wish I knew
Who I should've been with you
I should've been with you
I should've been with you
I should've been with you
Maybe now maybe here
I focus in you disappear
I wish I were more down to earth
But my head's in the clouds
Your death since my birth
I see the world feel the ground
It hardly moves it barely sounds
I wish I knew round these mental backroads
But it's nice to be found
It's nice to be shown
I'm over the moon
But I wish I knew
Who I could've been with you
I could've been with you
I could've been with you
I could've been with you
I'd like to think you'd be proud
I made it through stood in the crowd
I wish that you could see me today
But I think you knew that I'd be okay
I'm over the moon
But I wish I knew
Who I would've been with you
I would've been with you

Claim My Throne
03:15
|
|||
|
I've never wandered away this far
I've never known which way to go
I've only known how to find where you are
I've only known how to find where you go
As long as I am fine pretending
No one knows at all
That I walk only with the shadows of you
But I fight alone
So I'll rise higher than the sky above you
I'll claim my throne
As all the dawns of the days pass by
As all the eves of the nights roll in
Watch as the darkness comes alive
Watch as it seeps beneath your skin
As long as I am fine pretending
No one knows at all
That I walk only with the shadows of you
But I fight alone
So I'll rise higher than the sky above you
I'll claim my throne
I walk only with the shadows of you
But I fight alone
So I'll rise higher than the sky above you
I'll claim my throne

Pieces In The Black
04:30
|
|||
|
I rode down the water to your road
I held down the water till it flowed
told you not to let it crack
told you not to turn your back
on you (x2)
I held down the flood until it roared
ran right through the front gate and your door
told your breath to hold right on
told your mind to carry on
for you (x2)
take me to the moon where it's not heavy on your back
let your shoulders down they're not under close range attack
look down on the world at all the pieces in the black
in you
hold onto yourself and don't let go
lost inside your mind is all you know
close your eyes count back from five
it's alright to feel alive
can you (x2)
take me to the moon where it's not heavy on your back
let your shoulders down they're not under close range attack
look down on the world and see it's nothing that you lack
specks of who we are fill up the pieces in the back
from you
