Take Me Away 03:46
lyrics

Head for the shore, my friend—the forest is on fire, you can see The smoke climb high into the night. Don’t be afraid, my friend to follow the desire—in your heart, You’ll always know which road is right. Don’t think you’re leaving me behind Don’t think you’re leaving me behind I’ll find a way—I’ll take my thousands of mistakes That broke me down into the dust I am today I’ll light ‘em up in flames ‘fore I wade deep into the water Let these ocean waves take me away Learn to be still, my friend—I know that you are tired; I have seen the colors fading in your eyes There’ll come a day, my friend—when everything is quiet, for awhile Another place—another time. Don’t think you’re leaving me behind Don’t think you’re leaving me behind I’ll find a way—I’ll take my thousands of mistakes That broke me down into the dust I am today I’ll light ‘em up in flames ‘fore I wade deep into the water Let these ocean waves take me away I’ve fallen ill, my friend—it’s time I should retire to my home. Never stop until you’re free. But if you will, my friend—please burn me in the fire when I’ve gone, Give my ashes to the sea. Don’t think you’re leaving me behind Don’t think you’re leaving me behind I’ll find a way—I’ll take my thousands of mistakes That broke me down into the dust I am today I’ll light ‘em up in flames ‘fore I wade deep into the water Let these ocean waves take me away

Miss Atlantis 03:42
lyrics

She likes standin' under waterfalls Dancin' in the pouring rain Carries ‘round an old guitar but I know she can’t play She likes drivin' on the interstate Windows down and music up Only destination is the shiny ocean in the land of love She’s the rebel princess who belongs with the outlaws She’s the barefoot gypsy runnin’ wild across the globe She’s the pirate lady with the parrot on her shoulder Sailing on a ship that doesn’t know its way back home Ooooohh and she’s tired of being alone She makes fun of everything and one But loves them more than anyone Never has regrets ‘cause she knows You only live once Can’t remember things from yesterday 'Cause she’s only got today Doesn’t care what’s wrong or right Goes skinny-dipping in the full moonlight She’s the rebel princess who belongs with the outlaws She’s the barefoot gypsy runnin’ wild across the globe She’s the pirate lady with the parrot on her shoulder Sailing on a ship that doesn’t know its way back home Ooooohh and she’s tired of being alone Ooooohh and she’s tired of being alone She’s got a wild imagination and she sings when she’s alone Ooooh, but she hates bein’ alone She likes sleepin’ in way too late Staying out ‘til the sunrise comes She knows every star up there 'Cause she names them whatever she wants She’s the rebel princess who belongs with the outlaws She’s the barefoot gypsy runnin’ wild across the globe She’s the pirate lady with the parrot on her shoulder Sailing on a ship that doesn’t know its way back home Ooooohh and she’s tired of being alone Ooooohh and she’s tired of being alone Ooooohh and she’s tired of being alone

Faces at the Rain 03:18
lyrics

I hear raindrops on the rooftop Staring sadly out the window pane Did the sun just turn the lights off? Did the blue skies hide away? Step outside and be insane for awhile Tell the clouds to go away and we’ll make faces at the rain The sky may be gray, and I’m afraid that the sun’s been tucked away for awhile but soon our troubles and pain will fade away with the clouds and we will laugh with the love we found You know I could never ever do without you As of lately we have been so down And the weather has been fighting our togetherness But soon the sun will come around Step outside and be insane for awhile Tell the clouds to go away and we’ll make faces at the rain 'Cause the sky may be gray, and I’m afraid that the sun’s been tucked away for awhile but soon our troubles and pain will fade away with the clouds and we will laugh with the love we found And we'll make faces at the rain And we'll make faces at the rain And we'll make faces at the rain

Cali 04:56
lyrics

I see that white sandy beach and your face comes to mind We walked on the twilight shores of memory and time Moonlight danced on waves and you and we stayed there all night In those precious moments I was yours and you were mine Cali, Cali Won’t you make a place for me I can’t forget you, I don’t want to I can’t keep my mind off of you Cali, Cali Won’t you save a space for me I packed my bags, I’m headed toward ya All I got is love for ya Cali, Cali Won’t you make a place for me—somewhere We drove on the mountain highway rising with the sun Staring down at countless palm trees shrinking into none Top down with the blue skies glowing, filling life with light Wind ran through your long dark hair, oh baby what a sight Cali, Cali Won’t you make a place for me I can’t forget you, I don’t want to I can’t keep my mind off of you Cali, Cali Won’t you save a space for me I packed my bags, I’m headed toward ya All I got is love for ya Cali, Cali Won’t you make a place for me—somewhere When we parted ways, somehow I knew I’d never see Times like this again when we were careless and so free I kissed you goodbye and missed you oh so terribly I never forget the promise that you whispered me Cali, Cali Won’t you make a place for me I can’t forget you, I don’t want to I can’t keep my mind off of you Cali, Cali Won’t you save a space for me I packed my bags, I’m headed toward ya All I got is love for ya Cali, Cali Won’t you make a place for me—somewhere Won’t you save a space for me somewhere? Won’t you make a place for me somewhere?

Circle the Wagons 04:22

1845 and I’m not well This crowed town has gone to hell The ground is dry and crackin’ up The world we have is not enough Daddy called me to his dyin’ side Said , “son please leave this place behind…” “take the wagon, hit the trail” “and when the devil’s on your tail” Circle the wagons Grab my daddy’s gun Life out on the trail ain’t All that easy son Danger greets you in the mornin’ and it don’t sleep at night Find a shootin’ star to be your guide and light It takes more than a man to fight the good fight Fourteen weeks of death out in the wild I’m nothin’ but a poor lost child This way of life has had its way I hear dad say, “you’ll be okay” I look out into the open space Where we will build our restin’ place and then I hear a gunshot crack I stop the wagon and turn back Circle the wagons Grab my daddy’s gun Life out on the trail ain’t All that easy son Danger greets you in the mornin’ and it don’t sleep at night Find a shootin’ star to be your guide and light It takes more than a man to fight the good fight I know at the time I felt like I was all alone But ten years down the line I learned to call this place my home I know I’m alive and I can tell When I go to that wishin’ well And see the water’s crystal clear I close my eyes and dad’s right here He smiles and he pats me on the back “son you’ve taken quite a path, I know that heart of yours still hurts” And I still hear my father’s words... Circle the wagons Grab my daddy’s gun Life out on the trail ain’t All that easy son Danger greets you in the mornin’ and it don’t sleep at night Find a shootin’ star to be your guide and light It takes more than a man... It takes more than a man to fight the good fight 1855 and I’m alive

Falling 02:43
lyrics

I believe in destiny, in memory, and truth I believe it’s gravity that pulls me close to you Is it drawn upon your lips, this, my paralysis Is it gone, the time will shift, but I don’t wanna miss You got me fallin’ like stone—you’ve thrown me from the cliffs You got me spinnin’ like a top—you drop me for a lift Ooohhh—you got me fallin’ Oooohhh I believe that misery is breathing without you I believe that fantasy is something you can choose I confess, this blissfulness could be my blind eclipse Nonetheless, my consciousness says I don’t wanna miss You got me fallin’ like stone—you’ve thrown me from the cliffs You got me spinnin’ like a top—with every single kiss Ooohhh—You got me fallin’ Ooohhh And when life feels so paper thin... We’ll just remember where we’ve been. You got me fallin’ like stone—you’ve thrown me from the cliffs You got me spinnin’ like a top—you take me for a trip Ooohhh—You got me fallin’ Ooohhh Ooohhh—You got me fallin’ Ooohhh

Don't Walk Away 03:53
lyrics

Once upon a time, I caught your eyes—that’s tonight Can you see through me and my lies? You were dancing lonely like a fire, burning wild And to my surprise, so was I Searching for ourselves in the night I’m feeling up; don’t make me fall to find myself Don’t walk away with someone else I’m gonna jump; just give me time to find myself Don’t walk away with someone else Losing all my petals, did you know this rose is white? I’m scared to show you what’s inside Sometimes I hide myself away just to survive Or did you notice my disguise? Searching for ourselves in the night I’m feeling up; don’t make me fall to find myself Don’t walk away with someone else I’m gonna jump; just give me time to find myself Don’t walk away with someone else Searching for ourselves in the night I’m feeling up; don’t make me fall to find myself Don’t walk away with someone else I’m gonna jump; just give me time to find myself Don’t walk away with someone else Don’t walk away with someone else Don’t walk away with someone else

You’ve got an evil little smile I live to see it every time Underneath the covers Holding to each other I know I will always call you mine And you better know no matter what comes down the road I’ll always be here by your side because you’re mine 'Cause I’m your bear You’re my honey I’m your carrot You’re my bunny You’ve got a crazy little bite I live to feel it every time I know I can be sure You will always call me yours You’ve got something I know I can’t fight You better know I know no matter what we face You’ll always be here by my side because you’re mine 'Cause I’m your bear You’re my honey I’m your carrot You’re my bunny I’m your bear You’re my honey I’m your carrot You’re my bunny I haven’t seen you in awhile You might be thinking I forgot you But my heart’s still right there Right beside you somewhere It’s not ever going anywhere No number of miles will ever separate or break our love apart We’ll always be the way we are You better know I know no matter what we face You’ll always be here by my side for all my days And you better know no matter what comes down the road I’ll always be here by your side because you're mine 'Cause I’m your bear You’re my honey I’m your carrot You’re my bunny I’m your bear You’re my honey I’m your carrot You’re my bunny I’m your bear You’re my honey I’m your carrot You’re my bunny

Babel 03:53
lyrics

There's a road that leads through trouble Where the drums sound in the air to the heart of this old jungle Follow me, I'll take you there Walk the road with me to see old Babel Can you stand alone and hold your candle—through Babel? Oh the strongest stone will stumble and the shining star will fade Where the mighty Titan trembles through the jungle in the glade Walk the road with me to see old Babel Can you stand alone and hold your candle—through Babel? Can you hear the deepest rumble? Can you feel it in your feet? All the prison walls have crumbled And the fear is flowing free Walk the road with me to see old Babel Can you stand alone and hold your candle—through Babel?

For Us 03:07
lyrics

It's a panoramic picture Look, there's us on the outside looking in We walked up old heaven's hillside to the gate Mister, would you let us in? Oh we tried; we fell short every time In the end, is it too late to begin again? It's alright we will build our city somewhere down below It's alright we don't need your pity; we're on our own and we're alright It's a symptomatic feeling and we're sick feels like drowning in the sand It's a more traumatic pathway than we planned go back home if you still can Oh we tried; we fell short every time In the end, is it too late to begin again? It's alright we will build our city somewhere down below It's alright we don't need your pity; we're on our own and we're alright It's an automatic answer – for us It's alright we will build our city somewhere down below It's alright we don't need your pity; we're on our own and we're alright we're alright

Late 03:56

We were raised on tips of icebergs Waiting for the tide to turn We were made to live like fire Without fear of getting burned We would like to write our future But we haven’t found the words And ohhh Our souls will break these stones Our lives have made us cold We’re told our years are few Oh, the time feels late We’ve been grounded with the beggars Carving scars into the earth We’ve been shouting for the favors But our world is looking hurt We would like to write our future But we haven’t found the words And ohhh Our souls will break these stones Our lives have made us cold We’re told our years are few Oh, the time feels late We’re returning to the glaciers Troubled by the things we’ve heard We’d prefer to stay forever But the skies are looking cursed We would like to write our future But we haven’t found the words And ohhh Our souls will break these stones Our lives have made us cold We’re told our years are few Oh, the time feels late

I Gave Up 04:52
lyrics

I came back out again For the last time I lost my mind again Somewhere inside And I don’t need help I just need woken up Am I sleepin’? Am I dreamin’? Will you pinch me if I’m seemin’ Like I’m hazy, like I’m crazy Like I never cared at all Now I’m wheelin’, I’m not feelin’ Much of anything I’m dealin’ with I know that you’ll be happy just to Know that I have gone And it hurts you just to be anywhere near me and I'm sorry And it hurts me just to see everything that we could be Everything that I gave up I won’t forget the fall That brought me here But I forgot the times When things seemed clear The hopes, the dreams It all seems broken up Am I sleepin’? Am I dreamin’? Will you pinch me if I’m seemin’ Like I’m hazy, like I’m crazy Like I never cared at all Now I’m wheelin’, I’m not feelin’ Much of anything I’m dealin’ with I know that you’ll be happy just to Know that I have gone And it hurts you just to be anywhere near me and I'm sorry And it hurts me just to see everything that we could be Everything that I gave up And now I know that there’s no way of going back And now I know you’ll leave me lyin’ on my back I’m on my feet again I guess it’s time You’ve got your wings again And I’ve seen you fly So I let go Of everything that I have known I’m not sleepin’, I’m not dreamin’ Though I’m sorry if I’m seemin’ Like I’m hazy, like I’m crazy Like I never cared at all Now I’m wheelin’, I’m not feelin’ Much of anything I’m dealin’ with I know that you’ll be happy just to Know that I have gone And it hurts you just to be anywhere near me and I'm sorry And it hurts me just to see everything that we could be Everything that I gave up
