We’re always moving forward But something seems so new We’ve ended so much now / What’s there to do? You can take my hand And that’s love, i suppose Take me away and into you You’re sure that nothing will change? Follow the road down beside of you I have stayed And that’s love, i suppose Come To Light We’re All Here Make my life Speak into my ear I won’t repeat a dream That’s not important anyway Anxiety, constantly But you stay And that’s love, i suppose Come To Light We’re All Here Make my life Speak into my ear

There’s so much I want to do It seems time has shrunken small I wish I could think it through Before I hear the cardinal call Sometimes I feel like I don’t know who I seem to be Every Spring these flowers feel Like a long, forgotten dream to me These thoughts of mine explode Like an inkstain on a page And I have to carry this load Of some purpose while I age Sometimes I feel like I don’t know who I seem to be Every Spring these flowers feel Like a long, forgotten dream to me

My head is still in the clouds And I don't wanna come down just yet I'm doing fine these days, I'm doing fine these days Leave me in the road I'll find my way home Leave me in the road I'll walk all the way home I know that I can be alright Cause feeling this way sure is nice To me, it's no surprise A lot has changed in people's eyes Leave me in the road I'll find my way home Leave me in the road I'll walk all the way home And your head is still in the clouds Seems like we're both out and about You're doing fine these days And I hope it stays that way Leave me in the road I'll find my way home Leave me in the road I'll walk all the way home Did you really think, did you really think you'd make it this far? Did you really think, did you really think you'd make it this far? Did you really think, did you really think, did you really think?

Troy 02:55
Do you think you could help me man? Cause I don’t seem to understand All the shit you’re giving me Got me wandering through the trees I can show you what i mean Don’t tell me baby it’s all you’ve seen Through the river and down the grove I feel so so so at home Where were you when I was takin it slow I look at you and back to me These sinking colors are all we see Take some time to catch a breath We’re still not out of here just yet But I’m not worried, I’m feeling good Loving it just as much as you It was me Maybe I was the one that you saw there Can’t believe I’m the only one that you know here Getting lost don’t know which way to turn I say, I say let’s find a way

The Feeling 04:35
And I feel we haven’t got much longer And I know we haven’t gotten any farther But I won’t betray the feeling When I look in your eyes I’ll meet you whenever, sun or rain Take you wherever we wanna stay Lucky to share the feeling When I look in your eyes I’m in the lost and found just waiting for you Scoop me up make me feel less blue, you Love me strong, keep near Side by side there’s nothing to fear, you Have my heart in the palm of your hand And I feel we haven’t got much longer And I know we haven’t gotten any farther But I won’t betray the feeling When I look in your eyes I’ll meet you whenever, sun or rain Take you wherever we wanna stay Lucky to share the feeling When I look in your eyes Everything I know Is falling apart Thought I’d always have An empty heart But you made it so clear, easy to see You and I living in between the world And I feel we haven’t got much longer And I know we haven’t gotten any farther But I won’t betray the feeling When I look in your eyes I’ll meet you whenever, sun or rain Take you wherever we wanna stay Lucky to share the feeling When I look in your eyes

When I was hanging around at the party Waiting to see your face It’s been an hour or so Since people came through that door And I don’t see you here In this sweet, sweet Summer dream My love was nowhere to be seen Why should I cry? Why should I cry? “Will we still be friends after this?” I asked her quietly It’s hard to leave her, when you’ve been so sweet I guess it’s no matter to me I’ve got one who keeps me company In this sweet, sweet Summer dream My love was nowhere to be seen Why should I cry? Why should I cry? “Will we still be friends after this?” I asked her quietly It’s hard to leave her, when she’s been so sweet

Be Apart 03:39
Lonely hearts and varied gold One of your many secrets told Talk to me, not your heart I don’t want to see us part Days abstain The stillness of your silence wanes Let’s go back to the start I want to be apart Matching pieces of broken glass Pictures formed and wouldn’t last Passion is not something that’s easy Your pain means too much to me The first thing I have to to gain Control the being you tame
8.
Dead Eyes 04:44
You gave me my dead eyes I looked in your’s for far too long You ruin my mind all day and night And I’ve written you one too many songs But the mind is a bitch Makes it hard to focus And your absence falls like a brick On my chest I flew, I flew so close to you And you knew just what I was going through That’s not enough, I’m not enough But please don’t tell me I don’t know how to love It stopped, and I will too But the mind is a bitch Makes it hard to focus And your absence falls like a brick On my chest But life is a bitch I can never focus Someday soon I’ll be My own
9.
Wooden Walls 05:45
Every Morning Eyes That Roar These Wooden Walls Seem So Familiar Next To Books And Clothes From Last Night Back And Forth The Spider Hides Just Having A Goal And To Get Out Of Bed Just Having A Goal For What’s Ahead My Ears Ring Every Night I Can’t Move On It’s A Terrible Sight Leaves Fall Outside My Window I Can’t Help But Watching Instead Of Moving Forward Thinking And Forgetting A BEAUTIFUL SPIRAL EVERYWHERE BEAUTIFUL SPIRAL NOWHERE PERFECT NOTHING

Was I left behind? Did I make it this far? Three times since I saw your face I wonder where you are Winter turns to Spring Flowers that your body brings My, my life has changed The things I knew before are all well and gone My, my mind has changed All we had in store I don’t know you anymore Where do I go now? Will I make it that far? I don’t go anymore And the paths are overgrown My, my life has changed The things I knew before are all well and gone My, my mind has changed All we had in store I don’t know you anymore My, my life has changed The things I knew before are all well and gone My, my mind has changed All we had in store I don’t know you anymore Though I’ve seen so much I still need a sign There are things you will not see I’ll just be your eyes

Midwinter Walking down alleys Breathing in hot air Grey skies will hurt your eyes If you choose to stare We’re just looking For something to hold us over Enough to forget That the days are colder Dancing alone is no fun But someone has to start I’m the moon, be my sun Let me into your heart Can i borrow that sweater? How about those gloves? Temporary happiness Still feels so rough We’re just looking For something to hold us over Enough to forget That we’re getting older Dancing alone is no fun But someone has to start I’m the moon, be my sun Let me into your heart Last Leg The sky is falling But so am I When I was younger I knew how to fly Back, behind you Say goodbye To the shit you’re used to You’re not the good guy I guess this is it I guess it’s the end I’m not quite over it But we can still be friends I guess this is it I guess it’s the end I’m not quite over it But we can still be friends
12.
Sticks and stones, tattered clothes Try and forget what I came here for I think I’m invisible, I like it that way Maybe I’ll try again a different day Where it’s so easy I’d be better by now I feel alright but the months feel down Giving up before I begin Knowing my heart always seems to miss Miss the mark Don’t know where to start Cold has settled and lingers around Touching empty faces with a quiet sound It’s tough to recall but I sure try Thoughts of warm air they get me by Remember when, underneath the sun That kept us warm until it was done Seems like ages ago, worlds apart When I remember where to start Hit the mark Don’t know where to start Take me back again Take me back again Take me back again Take me back again
