How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,

Belief, makes things real.
Makes things feel, feel alright.
Belief, makes things true.
Things like you, you and I.

Tonight, you arrested my mind.
When you came to my defense.
With a knife in the shape of your mouth,

[Verse 1]
Melt Antarctica, savin’ Africa
I failed algebra and I misused some times
We’re at war again, save the world again
You can all join in, but you can’t smoke inside

[Bridge 1]
You said “Take me home, I can’t stand this place

Remember the day you came to me and said you found the truth?
And I turned away and told you should take another look?
You said you’d see what’s going on
I know you trust but something’s wrong

We have our lives to bear
Our bags to burden
But we just buy and we wear

I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
I'm love-sick somewhere tonight
I don't need writing on the wall
I've felt it for so long
Am I even on your mind
Or are you now in...

Someone else's eyes

When your feathers are soaked and your eyes are too bloody to see,
and you pulled every punch that you had but there's one that you need,
then you've waited too long,
there's a hole in your heart,
and all you've become is emotionally overrun.

Chorus:
Wishing wells were made to echo a dime,

Verse 1:

It's so nice to see you.
Can we sit and talk for a while?
I have searched forever,
I can't imagine anything better.

Kids upon the stairway,

(Verse)
Me and my woman, we both got the blues
But with so much to gain and such little to lose
Are we both getting played or do we like to pay for abuse
Down to a dollar and last bit of ale
But with too many sips he forget it to tell
Then you pale in the city lights shining on the holes of your shoes

(Verse)
Got a text from you
Is it really true?
All the stuff we did last night
We shut down the bars
Dams and Capricorns
Asked some girl if she’d be my wife

Oh, if there's one thing to be told
It's dreams are made to be caught
And friends can never be bought

Doesn't matter how long it's been
I know you'll always jump in
Cause we don't know how to quit

Oh, this is the start of something good
Don't you agree?
I, haven't felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet

So, since you wanna be with me

I'm a poor, I'm a rich
I'm a mountain, and a ditch
I'm a dagger, and a shield
I'm impatient, I'm a yield

And I wanna be free
Wind in my hair
Salt on my skin

Fool you made the girl fall in love
you said those beautiful things
she thought you spoke things you mean

Caress her skin like it's glass
she hears your voice making plans
and she just breaks in your hands

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been tryin to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

Whenever I see you I need more
And I want you to stay 'til the end
One look at that smile and I'm all yours
Will you just smile at me again

[Chorus]
I have you to thank for making me so
So hard to please because you treated me o

In Love With A Girl

So many people gonna say that they want you,
To try to get you thinking they really care,
But there's nothing like the warmth of the one
who has put in the time and you know he's gonna be there,
Back your border when she knows someone crossed it,
Don't let nobody put you down, who your with

I was dreaming of the past,
And my heart was beating fast.
I began to loose control,
I began to loose control.
I didn't mean to hurt you,
Im sorry that I made you cry.
I didn't want to hurt you,
I'm just a jealous guy.

I saw you there last night
Standing in the dark
You were acting so in love
With your hand upon his heart
But you were just friends
At least that's what you said
Now I know better from his fingers in your hair
I forgive you for what you've done

[Verse]
Walk in like a fistful of bottle rockets
It's only defense on my back pocket
You never see what you gonna see
And you won’t believe when you see it but it’s only me

[Chorus]
I’m your leading man

I can't live without you
Set my goals around you
Takes a little extra time
But it all works out

You're a shining ember
I'll be shining armor
Just look up into my eyes

Hail to the light, that my baby's watches me.
In the darkness of the window,
I can hardly get to sleep.
Wish for the hour, that the night time soon shall pass.
And the morning dew will bring us,
to a day our souls can last.

Chorus:

"Medicate The Kids"

Tell 'em, "Say no to drugs"
"Substances make you dumb"
Then you say, "give 'em some"
Are you the victim
Of this experience
Child experiment

You need a friend
I'll be around
Don't let this end
Before I see you again
What can I say to convince you
To change your mind of me?

I'm gonna love you more than anyone

I don't want to get too close
I don't want to get too close
You see this isn't where my head is
If you knew me I'm not like this
But I just found someone special
And that's really something special
If you knew me
Nice to meet you anyway

Take my home
Take everything I own
Take it, take control
You will feel better
You will feel whole
You're so good
You stopped me where I stood
And let me look at love and I feel better

Na na na nana na na nah
Na na na nana na na nah

I'll lay it down one time through, gather round
Though this is a chore
So rich with lies, I prefer poor advice
And showed her the door

I got troubles that I can’t hide
So many and it’s turning on the inside out
I know a woman’s nature
There’s nothing you can save here
Me, I run every time

We got two tickets but the one way
And I went with it so I can’t say no

This ain't the kind of affair to make you dance about
But there's something to say for the things
You wouldn't regularly let out
At least this chase makes you feel new

[Chorus]
She holds a key
Tight in her hand

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten
And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends
Cause New York sky don't get much brighter
She sets, she sets the city on fire

Somebody told me if I'm not careful
Well, this one's gonna roll me
I got my hands full and this one's gonna own me and control me

Where did all the people go?
They got scared when the lights went low.
I'll get you through it nice and slow
When the world's spinning out of control

Afraid of what they might lose.
Might get scraped or they might get bruised
You could beg but what's the use.

With my eyes wide open
And with words unspoken
I still understand

And I'm reading your mind
Using every outline
You're drawing in my hand

You don't have to be part of the problem
I just need a second chance, I just need a second chance
Instead of leaving me standing in sorrow
I know that you'll understand and hope then you'll understand
I know that I was wrong but just don't walk away

Oh, won't you stay? I need you, need you here
When you're with me all others disappear

You might really be
The very best woman to ever suit me
But I can’t expect you to see how I see
Cause sometimes I don’t see a thing
But personal pressure is making me guess
My time’s running out as we’re both getting dressed
I don’t know who’s body I’d rather feel pressed
But I cannot arrest on my thoughts

You
You don't know how lucky you are
Hanging with that girl on your arm
But soon enough I'm taking my show

Bang!
Once I get 'em locked in my sight
Doesn't mean I wasn't alright

The letters you wrote me had hollow-point headers
If you think you've got it like that
Find somebody better
You said I need fixing
You numbered the stages
But I won't be living in one of your cages
Open your mind and understand...

We belong together
Like the open seas and shores
Wedded by the planet force
We've both been spoken for

The hammer may strike, be dead on the ground
A nail to my hand, a cross on his crown
We're done if we're undone

Well everybody hurts
That's where we're all the same
We drive on through the worst
And push on through the pain

I'm standing at your door
It's been a million miles
I'll be the first to say

Well, before you go away
I'm gonna give you all that I can say
The truth is harder to amuse
But when you know it's wrong
You got to cut it loose

Oh, it's better up ahead
The worst is over now

There's no need to beg babe
That's my open pocket
You take the money from me
I can scrounge
Gave me a fever that will not come down
Oh babe!
You're a young woman cast aside
Ostracized
