Baby I Do
03:15
|

|
Do you ever think of running away
Do you ever think of saying goodbye because it's foolish to stay
Or do you want to stay
Do you ever think we will never know
Do you ever think that maybe we should let it go?
'Cause after all these years
And with all these fears
Baby I do
'Cause after all these years
And with all these fears
Baby I do
Do you ever think of running away
Do you ever think of saying goodbye
It's gonna end anyway
Do you ever think of running away
Do you ever think of saying goodbye
It's gonna end anyway
Someday
Do you ever think that maybe we will never know
Do you ever think that maybe we should let it go
'Cause after all these years
And with all these fears
Baby I do
You've cried your tears
And I promise it'll all end here
Baby I do

The Puppet
03:41
|

|
A heart with two minds
She has to decide
Between what's good and what's best
Though it breaks her inside
She has to decide
She has to decide or else
One of these puppets will cut his strings loose
Who is she trying to deceive, deceive
One of these puppets will leave for good
'Cause he just can't believe
A pain in her head
Connections of thread
Hearts that just have to be broken
Though it breaks her inside
She has to decide
She has to decide or else
One of these puppets will cut his strings loose
Who is he trying to deceive, deceive
One of these puppets will leave for good
'Cause he just can't believe
One of these puppets will cut his strings loose
Who is she trying to deceive, deceive
One of these puppets will leave for good
'Cause he just can't believe
One of these puppets will cut his strings loose
Who am I trying to deceive, deceive
One of these puppets will leave for good
'Cause I just can't believe
I just can't believe
I just can't believe
Who is she trying to deceive?

There's nothing quite as warm
There's nothing quite as warm
There's nothing quite as warm as being pulled into your arms
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do to break myself free from your charms
Oh brightest star
You're the nearest one but still so far
Up in the sky
I don't know if I can reach that high
If I never get to feel that light
I guess it's just all right
Try as I may with all my might
Scars will never be undone
When a man touches the sun
Oh what a thing to do
Oh what a thing to do
Oh what a thing to do if we could try out something new
Oh it would be so grand
Oh would it be so grand
If you discovered that I wrote and sang this song for you
Oh brightest star
You're the nearest one but still so far
Up in the sky
I don't know if I can reach that high
If I never get to feel that light
I guess it's just all right
Try as I may with all my might
Scars will never be undone
When a man touches the sun
If I never get to feel that light
I guess it's just all right
Try as I may with all my might
Scars will never be undone
When a man touches the sun

It All Makes Sense
04:07

The question is what if
I don't really know
But I wish I did
The question is what if
I don't really know
But I wish you did
I wish you did
I don't know why things happened
I don't know things didn't go our way
But I don't want to stay stuck in the past
I don't know all the reasons
But I know someday we'll look back
And see it all made sense
The question is what if
I don't really know
But I wish we did
I wish we did
I don't know why things happened
I don't know things didn't go our way
But I don't want to stay stuck in the past
I don't know all the reasons
But I know someday we'll look back
And say it all made sense
I don't know why things happened
I don't know things didn't go our way
But I don't want to stay stuck in the past
I don't know all the reasons
But I know someday we'll look back
And say it all made sense

A Personal Psalm
03:48
|
|||
|
Oh
Teach me what to say I don't know what to
God
Just to make things clear this song's about you
I know
I know I'm not that "holy in thy presence"
So
Thanks and thanks again for your forgiveness
The skies may fall and the grass may fade
Though time consumeth all you've made
Though I may fall, through may wade
But you're still God
You'll never give me up
Oh
Teach me how to love I don't know how to
God
Teach me how to love the same way you do
I know
I was blind and still am blind in some ways
So
Teach me how to see, hear, feel, and taste
The skies may fall and the grass may fade
Though time consumeth all you've made
Though I may fall, through may wade
But you're still God
You'll never give me up
Oh I'm not strong
No I'm not brave
But you give me strength
'Cause you're mighty to save
Oh I have fallen
I've fallen hard
But you're still God
You always pick me up

Wonderland
03:14
|
|||
|
Watching the stars on a cold night
Escaping sleep on a rooftop
Yearning for somebody to hold tight
One step away from a fall
Singing a song from a time past
Words are slipping away
Life is moving too fast
So she's drifting away
No she can't take this
Her heart is breaking
Feeling the warmth of the sunlight
Falling asleep on a rooftop
She doesn't need somebody to hold her tight
She's breaking free from it all
Perfectly content in her dream world
She refuses to wake
Life is moving too fast
While she's drifting away
She's locked away in her own wonderland
She's locked away in her own wonderland
She's locked away in her own wonderland
She's locked away in her own wonderland
She's locked away in her own wonderland
(No she can't take this, her heart is breaking)
She's locked away in her own wonderland
(No she can't take this, her heart is breaking)
She's locked away in her own wonderland
(No she can't take this, her heart is breaking)
She's finally free in her own wonderland
(No she can't take this)

Aphrodite
04:22
|
|||
|
You are the moon that glows in the sky
Lighting up the world when it's blue
Stars they dance though late in the night
Don't you know they dance just for you
There you are above darkened clouds
Smiling at the world from afar
And with the stars you wander around
May they follow you wherever you are
Here I am just another boy singing songs
That others have sung
Tryna find the words to employ
To adore the goddess of love
Oh you got me in a daze, yeah
No it's not a childish phase
You gave me one look and now I can't get my mind off of you
And it's all because
I see the galaxies when I look in your eyes and I
Can't speak no I can't speak at all
I swear to Zeus you're Aphrodite in disguise
Don't think that you can hide it from me
Oh no I never thought I'd get this close to someone so divine, oh I
Can't breathe, no I
Can't breathe at all
Aphrodite could you, could you please be mine, oh
Could you be please be mine oh mine
Here you are
I've waited so long
Hoping you would sit down and stay
And with the stars I'm dancing along
Like a fool so you'd look this way
You're the moon that glows in the sky
Lighting up my world when it's blue
And here I sing though late in the night
Hope you know I sing just for you
Oh you got me in a daze, yeah
No it's not a childish phase
You gave me one look and now I can't get my mind off of you
And it's all because
I see the galaxies when I look in your eyes and I
Can't speak no I can't speak at all
I swear to Zeus you're Aphrodite in disguise
Don't think that you can hide it from me
Oh no I never thought I'd get this close to someone so divine, oh I
Can't breathe, no I
Can't breathe at all
Aphrodite could you, could you please be mine, oh
Could you be please be mine oh mine

From The Ashes
03:44

The old hymn's gone
The new year's come
The new year's come along with new surprises
Hum
Darling hum
Darling hum along with me
The old hymn's gone
The old hymn's gone
The song we used to sing has turned to ashes
Hum
Darling hum
[unintelligible 01:15]
From the ashes
From the ashes
We're no phoenix we don't rise up
But baby we pick ourselves back up
We're no phoenix we don't rise up
But baby it's Friday night kind of luck
So pick it up
So pick it up
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes

The God in Outer Space
04:23
|
|||
|
The seasons come, the season go
Nobody lasts forever, no
We're bound to leave and get left behind
I'd rather be the one who leaves
And not the one who's left to grieve
The one who's left to lose his mind
And so I write this letter to the Maker
The greatest mystery
To Creator, the cause of everything
To the God in outer space
Feel my pain and show your face
Oh Lord I don't know
Wise men say you hear my call
Turn this brokenness 'to something beautiful
The seconds pass
The clock moves slow
Wise men say it takes time to grow
Well all I need is someone by my side
And no one wants to be deceived
Lose faith in something they believe
Deep inside
Deep inside
I write this letter to the Maker
There's much I have to say
To Creator
Who gives and takes away
To the God in outer space
Feel my pain and show your face
Oh Lord I don't know
Wise men say you hear my call
Turn this brokenness 'to something beautiful
I write this letter to the Maker
Who died upon that tree
To Creator who gave it all for me
Who's tasted death for me
For me
To the God who took my place
How I long to see your face
Lord I want to know
To the God who hears my call
Turn this brokenness 'to something beautiful
To the God who took my place
How I long to see your face
Lord I want to know
To the God who hears my call
Turn this brokenness 'to something beautiful

Yvaine
02:30
|

|
Before Time comes and takes what isn't his
Into his storeroom full of dust
Before he comes, Yvaine I'll tell you this
Some things just aren't meant to last
Before Death comes and whispers in my ear
All of the secrets that she keeps
Before she comes, Yvaine please listen, dear
As Stormhold weeps and Faerie sleeps
Take a look back at all the roads we've crossed
We've gone to Babylon by candlelight
And though at times we've gotten lost
Now we're all right
So don't let your eyes get drenched in rain
We did not walk this road in vain
Yvaine
The love we share will never change
My only queen
My fallen star
I love you near
I love you far

Maybe
03:51
|
|||
|
What I'm about to say will take the kind of courage used to
Cut a wire from a bomb
The kinds of things that you will hear will resemble
A bottle of wine fermented too long
My mouth is dry, I'm up in the sky,
My stomach's starting to dance, dance
Before I die, I have to try,
I have to take this chance
But oh, there's a risk that you'd go away
From the friendship we're enjoying right now
But oh there's regret if we throw away
The more-than-friendship we'd be missing somehow
So I was thinking maybe later you would want to go out?
Walk and talk around the Oval as usual, asking what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years
we've spent together touched my life to the core
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you, and I want to love you more
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me how to get to you
Tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me what I have to do
And if you're listening and thinking "Is this song about me?"
Well, maybe maybe maybe maybe
And oh, you are a work of art
I'm captivated by the things that you do
Though I'm jealous of the man who tried to win your heart
My goal is that he'd envy me too
So I was thinking maybe later you would want to go out?
We could walk, and talk, and travel, read, and watch, and figure out what life is about
Maybe I'd tell you that the couple years we've spent together proved our friendship true
Maybe I'd tell you that I love you,
Oh maybe it's time you knew
I know for certain that I love you
And I hope you love me too

I hear them calling
They're calling out to me
They tell me freedom is here
Yeah freedom's finally here
And all the while rain is falling
Just like notes on a symphony
They tell me not to feel fear
'Cause freedom's finally here
"Take one bite to take the fall
I'll be right next to you through it all"
With these words I saw
With these words I saw
I once was caged but now I'm free
And I don't really wanna go home
I once was blind but now I see
And I don't really wanna go home
I've paid the price, I know the cost
Don't preach to me, I know I'm lost
And if my father calls for me
Tell him I don't really wanna go, don't really wanna home
Tell me again
What's it like on the other side
Are you still living in fear?
Are you still living in fear?
Aren't we all just human
We turn to dust when we die
Sacrifice every year
To please the gods we hold dear
'Take one bite to take the fall
We'll be right next to you through it all'
With these words I saw
With these words I saw
I once was caged but now I'm free
And I don't really wanna go home
I once was blind but now I see
And I don't really wanna go home
I've paid the price, I know the cost
Don't preach to me, I know I'm lost
And if my father calls for me
Tell him I don't really wanna go, don't really wanna go home
No I don't wanna go back to where I couldn't run
Do you see me now? I've only just begun
I won't stop to lay my head
Until I've reached the sun
No I don't wanna go back to where I couldn't run
I once was caged but now I'm free
(I'll be right next to you through it all)
(Don't really wanna go home)
I once was blind but now I see
(Yes I'll be right next to you through it all)
(Don't really wanna go home)
Take one bite to take the fall
Yes, we'll be right next to you through it all
(Don't really wanna go home)
And if my father calls for me
Tell him I don't really wanna go

Don't worry
About the things that have been bothering you for so long
Don't worry
About all of the ways this could go wrong
Just tell me how you really feel
You don't have to pretend when you're with me
'Cause in the end
I'm still your friend
You told me
You're afraid that I would get hurt
Well don't you worry
I'm not asking for much, you have my word
Tell me how you really feel
You don't have to pretend when you're with me
'Cause in the end
I'm still your friend

There's nothing quite as warm
There's nothing quite as warm
There's nothing quite as warm as being pulled into your arms
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do
There's nothing I can do to break myself free from your charms
Oh brightest star
You're the nearest one but still so far
Up in the sky
I don't know if I can reach that high
If I never get to feel that light
I guess it's just all right
Try as I may with all my might
Scars will never be undone
When a man touches the sun
Oh what a thing to do
Oh what a thing to do
Oh what a thing to do if we could try out something new
Oh it would be so grand
Oh would it be so grand
If you discovered that I wrote and sang this song for you
Oh brightest star
You're the nearest one but still so far
Up in the sky
I don't know if I can reach that high
If I never get to feel that light
I guess it's just all right
Try as I may with all my might
Scars will never be undone
When a man touches the sun
If I never get to feel that light
I guess it's just all right
Try as I may with all my might
Scars will never be undone
When a man touches the sun
