Rising Sun
03:24
|
|||
|
I can feel this light
just like a rising sun
and I have you in my mind
I hope you'll always be there
on the horizon
can't tell the ocean from the sky
but I'll be good
if I can keep this light
time comes back at me
just like an echo chamber
I am senselessly
piecing it together
from here to there
you'll be with me for the while
and I'll be good
if I can keep this light
on a spherical stage
keeping you close to me always
in the shadow of a mountain
I am much less broken
you were here and then you were gone
but now I can see that
the end is the beginning
just like a rising sun
just like a rising sun
just like a rising sun
just like a rising sun

Roman Candle Eyes
04:40
|
|||
|
Standing around in this bright room
windows with endless long views
I think I can hear you calling
I think I can see your face
heart racing
tears, my eyes are making
forgetting all the days when
I lived for myself
floating around in this headspace
trying to clear my airways
drowning in a blurry haze
I sink into your eyes those blue seas
bringing me down to my knees
a look that shoots right through me
lightning in the sky
I can see forever
I can feel your cries
and you cut me with your
roman candle eyes
I can be your future
one that never dies
when I look into your
roman candle eyes
I saw you in a past dream
you were looking right at me
it felt just like the real thing
it felt like the truth
just a young man
coasting by with no plan
but I knew I'd meet you
in this life one day
I can see forever
I can feel your cries
and you cut me with your
roman candle eyes
I can be your future one that never dies
when I look into your
roman candle eyes
if you make it through these doors
you'll light the world
and with a heart like mine
shout at the night
I can see forever
I can feel your cries
and you cut me with your
roman candle eyes
I can be your future
one that never dies
when I look into your
roman candle eyes

Take Me Home
03:35
|
|||
|
Remember the time, sixty-seven
you found me up on the top of blue mountain
and took me home
it was a sign
I knew it from that point on
you would keep me on the
straight and narrow
days are passing by,
gone are the years of my youth
weaker is my heart now,
stronger ist my love for you
you are the one that kept me on my
feet all this time
but I'll be gone tomorrow,
I'll see you in the next life
oh yeah
so somebody take me home
don't cry here, there's nothing wrong
it's just my time, and you'll be fine,
it's just called getting old
days are passing by,
gone are the years of my youth
weaker is my heart now,
stronger is my love for you
you are the one that
kept me on my feet all this time
but I'll be gone tomorrow,
I'll see you in the next life
oh yeah
so somebody take me home

Cold days are done, finding out
time to build my future
I'm too easy on the past
stuck in what didn't last
sleep now, time flies, it's slipping by
I know that it's hard to find
what it is I'm yearnin for
go towards what can't be ignored
you almost meant the world to me
then started to reveal the cracks
you almost meant the world to me
but somehow we got off track
you almost meant the world to me
now I know
that there's no turning back
you almost meant the world to me
hard times start now
with the words
when will it come round again
one day I will master it
until then, I'll just play pretend
you almost meant the world to me
then started to reveal the cracks
you almost meant the world to me
but somehow we got off track
you almost meant the world to me
now I know
that there's no turning back
you almost meant the world to me
you sent, sent me through a maze
you filled me with false hope
and tied, tied me up in dreams
when you were through you cut
the rope
cold days are done
finding out
time to build my future
I'm too easy on the past
too stuck in what didn't last

The Hill
04:45
|
|||
|
Here I am, the one, the silent son
I see a life, it's mine, not forgotten
so long before foreign dreams
there was a kid who loved
this dead end street
as far as I can see the city glows
it's shines like rings on hand of
kings below
and way above from the spree
I stare at the sea of tranquility
the sky burns red tonight over town
and I'm about to fly so high,
so hold me down
the warm air calls to me
and keeps me sound
but I'm just a long shadow
up on the hill
I am frozen to wood panel walls
and still I drive around
to siren calls
my heart beats on hidden trails
and pubs with friends and smoke,
old brassy rails
the sky burns red tonight over town
and I'm about to fly so high,
so hold me down
the warm air calls to me
and keeps me sound
but I'm just a long shadow
up on the hill
and then I saw the sun up on the hill
and then I saw the sun up on the hill
and then I saw the sun up on the hill
and then I saw the sun up on the hill
the sky burns red tonight over town
and I'm about to fly so high,
so hold me down
the warm air calls to me
and keeps me sound
but I'm just a long shadow
up on the hill

Looking For
03:45
|
|||
|
In my apartment downtown
where you used to come round
and I'd ask should we make a go of it
it may be hard to endure
take some time so you're sure
if this is how you want things - to go
cause, you are
everything that I've been looking for
you are
everything that I've been looking for
you know my house is you house
sleeping on the old couch
cause your wanting to take it slow so
you do what you have to
I'll find me you find you
what do we really have to lose
cause, you are
everything that I've been looking for
you are
everything that I've been looking for
feeling like were still torn
could this all transform
I don't know if I can breathe
cause, you are
everything that I've been looking for
you are
everything that I've been looking for

Underground
04:24
|
|||
|
Underground worried about this pain
tossing back and forth
from a loss and a gain
while the cold air speaks
I worry for this town
as the haze falls over
people take a look around
oh my, see the black and the blue
I'm worried about me,
and I'm worried about you
and the sun will come up,
this I know to be true
but for now I'll stay here
and make friends with the moon
close my eyes and I go back under
will I come back to the surface
I wonder
last night I didn't sleep very much, no
down here underground
once again moving through the night
try to paint a picture,
make everything bright
but the canvas is broken
and I'm worried about this life
and I'll worry in the dark
til the comfort of the morning light
close my eyes and I go back under
will I come back to the surface
I wonder
last night I didn't sleep very much, no
down here in the underground
I'm alive, but it cuts right through me
hits a nerve so sincere and truly
four more hours till the birds
are singing, oh
I'm waiting for the bells to ring
every night, underground
every night, underground
every night, underground
every night, I'm going underground
close my eyes and I go back under
will I come back to the surface
I wonder
last night I didn't sleep very much, no
down here, I toss and I toss and I turn
I'm alive, but it cuts right through me
hits a nerve so sincere and truly
four more hours till the birds
are singing, oh
I'm waiting for the bells to ring
close my eyes and I go back under
will I come back to the surface
I wonder
close my eyes and I go back under
underground

Long Way From Your Heart
03:40
|
|||
|
This old town cried today
when the sky poured with rain
I can't pretend to know what is
the best way to behave
I wish I was as strong as you
a fearless burning light
but these hands belong to the one
with eyes that cry all night
with eyes that cry all night
phone rings, tears fall
everything comes apart
but I hear you say
it's a long way from your heart
from your heart
I hope you heard me say goodbye
on the telephone
the only peace you left with me
is that you made it home
is that you made it home
phone rings, tears fall
everything comes apart
but I hear you say
it's a long way from your heart
if you were here right now
I know just what you'd say
'wipe those tears gone'
cause it's a long way from your heart

Disconnect
08:15
|
|||
|
Up on the mountain top
the vantage point of town
far as I can see
what hasn't been torn down
clear out all the noise
and listen to the still
block out your busy mind
and try to find what's real
I wanna try wanna try
to get through to you
when I start to engage
it gets misconstrued
and I disconnect from you
I wanna try wanna try
to end the deja vu
so I play on repeat
what I thought you knew
and I disconnect from you
inside a bubble
that's just about to pop
there lies the magnitude
of what could be stopped
I wanna try wanna try
to get through to you
I wanna try wanna try
to end the deja vu
I wanna try wanna try
to start something new
I wanna try wanna try
but I can't break through
I wanna try wanna try
to get through to you
when I start to engage
it gets misconstrued
I wanna try wanna try
but I disconnect from you
