Your Silence Says It All
03:33
|
|||
You don’t have to say a word
Your silence says it all
And please no excuses
They only serve to stall
To be honest, I don’t care anymore
I can’t afford to
Cause I’ve spent all my wishful thinking
On you
You
Cause I saw signs where there were none
I planted seeds and waited for the sun
I don’t blame you
Your feelings were tied
You don’t have to say a word
Your silence says it all
You don’t have to say a word
Your silence says it all
My sense of freedom swells inside
As I let this dream die
For you I’m sure nothing has changed
You probably feel the same
To be honest, I don’t care anymore
I can’t afford to
Cause I’ve spent all my wishful thinking
On you
You
Cause I saw signs where there were none
I planted seeds and waited for the sun
I don’t blame you
Your feelings were tied
You don’t have to say a word
Your silence says it all
You don’t have to say a word
Your silence says it all
Love shouldn’t be like
Pulling teeth
And it wouldn’t be
If you felt like me
I know exactly where I stand
Out here all alone
With my heart in my hands
Love shouldn’t be like
Pulling teeth
And it wouldn’t be
If you felt like me
I know exactly where I stand
Out here all alone
With my heart in my hands
Love shouldn’t be like
Pulling teeth
And it wouldn’t be
If you felt like me
I know exactly where I stand
Out here all alone
With my heart in my hands
But I saw signs where there were none
I planted seeds and waited for the sun
I don’t blame you
Your feelings were tied
You don’t have to say a word
Your silence says it all
You don’t have to say a word
Your silence says it all

We Did What We Had To
03:21

We did what we had to
We did what we could
We did what we had to
We did what we could
All we had was the moment
All we had were those days
All we had was the life that we made
I did what I had to
I did what I could
I did what I had to
I did what I could
All I had was the moment
All I had were those days
All I had was the life that I made
La da da…
All I had was the moment
All I had were those days
All I had was the life that I made

Time is Running
03:00
|
|||
Recognize the fury digesting within
The perceived lack, the envy,
The self-deprecating spin
Reach out to joy expect nothing but delight
But remember no sense of glory comes without a fight
Time is running but it’s not running out
You are your deeds, your dreams, your compromise
You are the lean into the wind
And though your histories might nullify
The things you haven’t done, you haven’t done yet
Time is running but it’s not running out
Time is running but it’s not running out
They’ll knock you down, they’ll knock you out,
They’ll wear you thin, fill you with doubt,
But only if you let them
Each step is a choice, a reaction
Only you decide on the direction
Time is running but it’s not running out
You are your deeds, your dreams, your compromise
You are the lean into the wind
And though your histories might nullify
The things you haven’t done, you haven’t done yet
Time is running but it’s not running out
Time is running but it’s not running out
Time is running but it’s not running out
Time is running but it’s not running out
Time is running but it’s not running out
Time is running but it’s not running out
Time is running but it’s not running out
Time is running but it’s not running out

Barricade
03:32
|
|||
Maybe
Everybody
In the whole damn world
Is just scared of each other
And baby
Maybe
I'm scared of losing myself
Falling back into you
You know I love you
But my guard is up
My guard is up this time
Barricade...
Barely
Safely
Don't cause a stir in a hush
In the dark keeping warm is enough
Lately
Daily
I think of calling it off
Halfway there and I've gone far enough
You know I love you
But my guard is up
My guard is up this time
Barricade...
Hands shaking
Chest aching
Can't tell
If I'm smiling or faking
Peace making
Painstaking
Hold you up
To the vows you were breaking
You’re praying
While I’m saying
Pay the piper
For the part you’ve been playing
Heart weighing
But I’m staying
Put my faith
In the plans that we’re laying
Barricade...
You know I love you
My guard is up this time
You know I love you
My guard is up this time
You know I love you
My guard is up this time
You know I love you
But my guard is up
My guard is up this time

A Hundred Lives
05:34
|
|
||
Feet on ground
Heart caught in a cloud
Of memories
Bittersweet remembering
Far away
And too fast to catch
The past always
Evades capture
I have lived a hundred lives
And I have died from a hundred more
Into the shadows I have fallen
Into the light I have soared
Time helps you lose yourself
Put your heart on a shelf
Forget the why
Behind each tired sigh
Then one night the moon returns
Something inside you stirs
Your eyes feel open
For the first time
I have lived a hundred lives
And I have died from a hundred more
Into the shadows I have fallen
Into the light I have soared
Soared
Soared
Soared
I love too little or too much
Convince myself I’ll never be enough
I learn to forget but not to forgive
Holding myself back from the life
I yearn to live
I have lived a hundred lives
And I have died from a hundred more
Into the shadows I have fallen
Into the light I have soared
Soared
Soared
Soared

Cityscape
04:17
|
|

Home, home, home.
Home, home, home.
Home, home, home.
Sidewalks, lampposts, stories carved in blackened stone.
Oh, the secrets that they hold.
My fingertips trace the contours of the cityscape,
I am far away and right at home.
Home, home, home.
Home, home, home.
Shuffles, heartbeats, stories locked away deep,
Behind the eyes of faces unknown.
My glances, gently, wander past the sentries.
I am far away and right at home.
Home, home, home.
Home, home, home.
Our shadows cast may vary, but all our shoulders carry…
Our shadows cast may vary, but all our shoulders carry…
Our shadows cast may vary, but all our shoulders carry wounds, and joys, memories.
Wounds, and joys, memories.
Our shadows cast may vary, but all our shoulders carry wounds, and joys, memories.
Wounds, and joys, memories.
Our shadows cast may vary, but all our shoulders carry wounds, and joys, memories.
Wounds, and joys, memories.

Blindness
03:30
|
|

I wish the world was blind, but especially you
Maybe then you would understand, love as I do
If the weight of my soul exceeded that of my shell
Maybe then you could know me, maybe then you could tell
I am nothing without you
Even less at your side
I am nothing without you
Even less at your side
Your words tear right through me, deposit hot stones
That scorch and sear and wither my bones
This isn’t hate but it can’t be love
My crumbling frame has surrendered, it’s giving up
I am nothing without you
Even less at your side
I am nothing without you
Even less at your side
Tell me that you’re sorry, tell me that you finally see,
That which only blindness can bring
Tell me that you’re sorry, tell me that you finally see,
That which only blindness can bring
Tell me that you’re sorry, tell me that you finally see,
That which only blindness can bring

All I Know
04:16
|
|
||
I don’t know if my heart is ready,
But I don’t know if it ever would be.
Love is a sun shower that comes at any hour and when it leaves,
Your stomach’s left dangling your ribs straight standing amid the reverie of
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
All I know is that my hands are home in yours
All I know is that I’m myself at your side
All I know is that my hands are home in yours
All I know is that I never want that to change
I don’t know if it’s too soon to say
But I don’t know if it ever really is or isn’t
Time’s an invention of man to create the illusion that we’ve got a plan
But we’re all just stumbling along,
Making the best of our half written songs of
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
All I know is that my hands are home in yours
All I know is that I’m myself at your side
All I know is that my hands are home in yours
All I know is that I never want that to change
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da
Love, love, love, love, love, la-da-da-da-da

Kevin

Kevin has no time to eat his noodles
Between classes and practice and working his part time job
As a cupcake decorator
See Kevin
Rides his bike to point A to point B to Poince C with no reprieve
Not even for a moment to chow down on his instant noodles
But he doesn’t care
He’s got his eyes on the prize and he don’t almost there
Next month the circus is coming and he’ll be
Prepared
Kevin
He’s no ordinary
Run of the mill
Math-majoring
Cupcake decorating fella, no
He’s spending every spare second training
For his one true passion you see
It takes balance and courage and speed
So it only makes sense to eat a bowl of noodles
While peddling your bike down the street
But he doesn’t care
He’s got his eyes on the prize and he don’t almost there
Next month the circus is coming and he’ll be
Prepared
Late last night
While riding his bike
Kevin had a fright
While slurrping a noodle
And dodging a poodle
He swerved on a strudel and
…
Fell!
But he doesn’t care
He’s got his eyes on the prize and he don’t almost there
Next month the circus is coming and he’ll be
Prepared

Salvavidas
04:49
|
|

Cada vez que te vas
Corriendo a tu prisión
Me tiemblan las palabras
El preso ahora soy yo
Siempre se me hace raro
No llego a comprender
Que te abra yo la puerta
Que me toque perder
No hay ya bares abiertos
No hay juegos con alcohol
Mi casa es un desierto
Persigo tu canción
Acaso una palabra en mi buzón de voz
Acaso un gesto tuyo ronda por el salón
Me abrazará el hechizo aroma flor azul
Mi bote salvavidas sé bien que serás tu, serás tu
La niebla va cayendo
Yo aún por despertar
Temiéndole las horas
O a nada que mas da
La noche será fría
Si no encuentro tu sol
El té de tu ternura
Los paños de tu amor, de tu amor
Cumpliré mi condena
Hasta tu absolución
Te enviaré las limas
Que escribo al por mayor
Acaso una palabra en mi buzón de voz
Acaso un gesto tuyo ronda por el salón
Me abrazará el hechizo aroma flor azul
Mi bote salvavidas sé bien que serás tu, serás tu
serás tu

Try

I wish I could know how the world looks to you.
And if I could, I would see from behind your eyes to try.
And I know, words can never tell the whole story.
And I know, my own history will taint them.
But we gotta try, we gotta try to understand one another.
But we gotta try, we gotta try to understand.
I wish I could know how the world feels to you.
And if I could, I would slip inside your mind to try.
And I know, words can never tell the whole story.
And I know, my own history will taint them.
But we gotta try, we gotta try to understand one another.
But we gotta try, we gotta try to understand.
And I know, words can never tell the whole story.
And I know, my own history will taint them.
But we gotta try, we gotta try to understand one another.
But we gotta try, we gotta try to understand.
Try.
Try.
Try.
Try.
