So many ways to find a lonely lover
They're the first ones to confess
Stuck between the honest day
And the secrets in your chest
I swear you're dancin...

Caught in a wildfire

Choking on the flames
Of a strange pyre

The ashes of a dream

Feed the fantasy

Locked on the inside

Tangled up in chains
And ...

I'm behind the wheel
Cold and stoned
And I just want to be alone
I was born so free
But a slave I'm bound
I lost myself
On a long way down
C'mon, c'mo...

Into the land of the living
Black bleeds orange into blue
I am coming to life,
Light is breaking through
I can hear the bells in the city
Across the a...

Your breakdown was easy to see

And it took you away

further from me

Sifting through mishaps and photographs

I think of you

much more than I shoul...

I’ve been driving
On the highway

That leads to my hometown

All the memories

Buried inside me

I’m diggin’ up like treasure in the ground

My father...

Put your defense down
I know how hard it sounds
but loneliness will have it's way
in feeding your doubts

I'm waiting on the light

I’ve been turning up the stones in my own discontent
And I’m finding out where all my hidden sorrows went
They’ve been laying there for years,
I kept ...

Baby sleep in peace tonight
Angels bend to watch the sight

And may your dreams be sweet tonight

Dance the sky in sweet delight

O Virginia

You laid your dress down

In that old Kentucky grass

You said your baby was the prince of Persia

When the battles that you fight just leave you scarred
When you’re tired to the bone

How can I forget you
Memories come and go
You’re all I've ever wanted
You’re all I've ever known
Can I be happy
Living with your ghost
The pictures te...

It's not what it's meant to be
All of the longing and the distance in between
Oh I want you
Living inside a dream
Is there an ending
Cause I can barel...

Look me in the eyes
Tell me you don't feel a thing

I found you in a crowd of faces
I didn't get your name
You got away
I can't explain why my heart is breaking
When memory aching
I want to hold you now...

Are we under the gun?
Caught in the fire?
Am I getting it backwards now?
Did we lose the race
Or the desire?
We keep fading in and out
Stay beside me
...

If there was a chance

That we could be lovers
I'd write you a book

Of handwritten letters
And burn them all up to the end

Just to start over again

I hold a photograph
I get lost in the way it was
It's like a treasure map to all I've had
I found you along the way
I remember how you'd look at me

I wanna rock-n-roll.
I wanna give my soul
I want to believe
I'm not too old
Don't want to make it up
Don't want to let you down
I want to fly away

My darling,
You're stalling now.
Well don't you know where I've been?

There's fall out,
There is no doubt,
Where this is all gonna end.

Don't fall i...

Sinking wishes in the water
I've thrown them out
Fumbling to the floor to wait
What follows now
Let it go
Only wishes wait

You were once a boy in tattered jeans
With skin dark by the sun
Eyes so wide and deep with reckless dreams
To carry you along

You were always talking...

Guarding the dreams and the things left unsaid
Here we are wandering, aimlessly roaming
Lovers who linger and never forget
And when it’s done we will ...

You're always bound to fall
There's nothing you can do
The weight of gravity begins
To pull you down again
So what are you to do now?
You get so close...

You're always bound to fall
There's nothing you can do
The weight of gravity begins
To pull you down again
So what are you to do now?
You get so close...

Where did I begin
Turning through the pages
But I don't know what I've read
Thread is wearing thin
Everything's familiar
But I don't know who I am
Do ...

I'm wrestling tigers
I can't be tamed
The ambulance drive
He knows my name
I told him the last time
This will be the last time
He said, he didn't mind...

Like a stranger in a foregin land
I can help but notice you

Reading you like a map in my hand
And yes I see you,too

Is it just my imagination
Or are...

You're always bound to fall
There's nothing you can do
The weight of gravity begins
To pull you down again
So what are you to do now?
You get so close...

I wish you well
No one can tell
You know it when you need
Listen to the silence
And you'll hear, a hidden melody form
Tell me do you feel the waking h...

Well, the phone's off the hook
No one knows where we are
It's a long time
Since I drank champagne
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes

Smoke is clearing out
All the circling lights, blind me
I've been running out
Now it’s all just a fight, to breathe
I gave it all, yeah

They went digging underground in a foreign land
 Dusting off the cache with a careful hand
 And finally making sense of things that we
 Never knew to ...
