That Ain't Love
03:41
|
|||
|
I’ve been walking around for days just thinking
About who I know and where I’ve been
I’ve been wishing for days that you would leave me
And how I’m tired of lies and this whole scene
And if I’m honest with myself I can hear the words before they leave your mouth
And that ain’t love
I can think of a hundred ways I need you
Not one of them can make me stay
I don’t care that “tomorrow might get better”
We’re living in a life of yesterdays
And I don’t want somebody else, I can feel your breath until I wake up alone
And that ain’t love
If you want to make believe, I can fabricate a fantasy so deep
That I was made for you and you were made for me
I would be your king, you’d be my queen
Maybe that’s what you need, but that ain’t love

Dear Departed
05:17
|
|||
|
I know I’m not the only one who hates this situation
But I’m not the only one who’s fuelling the flame
Maybe time heals all wounds, or is it just distraction
Friends are the family you choose, my choice just walked away
If we’d grown apart, I’d be just fine
Growing up has stopped in our playground minds, we do this all the time
Sticks and stones will break my bones, your words forever haunt me
If we could stop the bleeding, start the healing, we could walk away
From this head on collision that we both played a part in
And so we sealed our fate to go our separate ways
My dear departed
This hurts me more than I show, no heart on my sleeve
I show emotion like a photograph with the faces missing
I speak forgiveness like a hypocrite, I don’t know what it means
The blind will lead the blind but neither stop and listen
If we’d grown apart, that’d be alright
Growing up it happens in these schoolyard fights, we’ll fight it out tonight
…My dear departed

Karma
03:50
|
|||
|
The way that I lost you is not to aspire to
I’m fighting the war in me
My letter is stale and lost in the mail
A heartfelt apology
You think I’m on top of the world but from the bottom of my heart I’m not
If karma had a graceful bone in her body she’d let me off
Few and far between are the reasons I should leave
But I’ve got tunnel vision
So I float along, forgetting rights, believing wrongs
And needing what I’ve been missing
I will sing to you to bring you back to me

To You
04:45
|
|||
|
I remember when I would trace those lines
Back and forth with my simple mind
Black has turned into red letter
Outstretched arms, I can’t forget it
I’ve spent my whole life believing in a saviour I can’t reach
Following a leader I cannot see
I catch myself wishing for simpler times
Cuz I’ve lost my life, it isn’t mine
I’d imagine the way you stared at me
Bled and scarred, weak at the knees
Mountains fall and the oceans weep
But I’ve found my home beneath your feet
If this was about my god, now it’s not
I regret ever building this box for you
If this was about myself, I give it away now

Walk Away
03:14
|
|||
|
I will watch you walk away from me
When I see you I’ll be blind you see
When the sun fades and the world comes down on you and me
Are you gonna walk away from me
I will lead where you’ll follow me
When I need you will you reach for me
When this night ends and today becomes history
Are you gonna walk away from me
Oh the quiet’s so loud, who knew love didn’t make a sound
Babe, you gotta come down, when are you gonna come around
If you’d lose that ivory tower…our days and nights are better spent in love
If I please you it’ll be for me
If it haunts you walk away from me
I will watch you walk away from me

At First Sight
03:35
|
|||
|
At first sight, your blue eyes, they echo mine
First breath, what is left but the rest of our lives
Lie awake, concentrate on the hands of the clock
Tick tock, times stops, dream of what I am not
And what you will be, just you wait and see
Round and round and round it spins me
I’m turning into what I need to be
My world is falling down around me
Do I need you more than you need me
First words, so clever, ring in my ears forever
Crash land, you don’t care, when you fall I will always be right there
To pick you up and dust you off, to dress you up and show you off
Round and round and round it spins me
I’m turning into what I need to be
A love like this is never easy
Do I need you more than you need me
Wait ‘til they see you spread your wings
Then they’ll know what beauty really means
You’re from a place where angels roam
My love restored to monochrome
Round and round and round it spins me
I’m turning into what I need to be
Cutes, you know you are my heartbeat
Do I need you more than you need me

Fishers of Men
03:20
|
|||
|
Born to fight the good fight, lost amongst the warriors
My sword to heavy to hold
Chased the so-called good life to watch the setting sun
Revolve around this cruel, cruel world
Fishers of men are casting their nets
There’s still hope of saving my soul and catching my breath
A faith that goes untested is just a grand illusion
A show of smoke and mirrors
So I close my eyes and dream of forever
Where there will be no tears
My breath, I hold as I wait for you to come at last

Hope Song
04:39
|
|||
|
Pull the curtains, draw the shades
Think of words I should’ve said
The past is just a scrambled transmission
There is something I must be missing
I should have seen it in your eyes
It’s not as if I didn’t try
If only I could cry but that wouldn’t help to save your life
If the best is yet to come, please tell me where it’s coming from
I don’t see the good in this, all I know is emptiness
And I’d trade everything I own not to be alone
I’d give up everything to say ‘I love you’ again
Steal a moment to live the day
You closed your heart and pulled away
I pushed and hoped you could face yourself
You see scars and nothing else
The mirror shatters when you look into your eyes
I can’t help, in your own mind
If only I could cry but that wouldn’t help me say goodbye

The Story Goes...
04:22
|
|||
|
I’d fall faster if you’d let me, I don’t need you anymore
I’d believe it if you’d tell me, I just don’t feel it anymore
There it goes…
I will be there if you’ll have me but I don’t live here anymore
My heart’s moved on to another place, I can’t feel it anymore
But it goes…
On and on and on and on
The story goes…I’ll tell it again
I don’t know if my promises are more than I can keep
But I can tell you that the consequence is something I don’t need

The Last Time
04:56
|
|||
|
Been here before, the calm before the storm
Still have these wounds from the last time it came through
I knew the right thing to do was to turn and walk away
The voice inside my head convinces me to stay
When I look inside there’s always stuff to change
With these blindfolds on I see just what I want
If only I could learn from my mistakes
Lick my wounds until they’re scars, never to forget
Can’t do this on my own, I’ve tried it and I’ve failed
Suck it up and lose my pride, ask for help this time
Ask for your advice, I hear but I don’t listen
You think that I would learn, my words are empty syllables
I’m sitting here exposed, reflecting and I’m vulnerable
Things have to change, I’m asking for your forgiveness
Created beings born with broken hearts
Simplify our sin, it’s been there from the start

Check Engine Light
03:07
|
|||
|
Blinded by the spotlight I forget
All the hearts I’ve hurt and all my regrets
If you take a minute, stop and look at me
You will see that I’m not the man I used to be
Pride and faith collide every now and then
Heart and sleeve reunited once again
Grace is an amazing thing
It makes one man cry and another man sing…
I’m not the man that I used to be
