If we could go back Maybe we would do things, a little bit crazier.. Like doing the things we want to do, saying the things we want to say But, dont worry I have scars to prove, that I'm no fool So, when i say that i... I cant say that i.. Just fly away, go back to where you came from, ill go back to where i came from, and youll never know.. That I said "I love you" Yes i do.

I could write a song for you Using metaphors and imagery Will anyone know what i mean I’ll keep it simple then So, here it goes You really fucked things up Don’t take that the wrong way I mean it with love I want you to know that, its ok I see people from my past They’re growing up so fast While I’m just standing still Im just standing still Shake the ghost of the man that i am Shake the ghost of the man that i was Shake the ghost and lead me in Shake the ghost lead me in Lead me in, teach me to swim Let me try, teach me to fly Teach me to live, teach me to love teach me for i have never known Lead me in teach me to swim In this place i call home Feeling so far from it all

Questions 03:37
Throwing money around Just to spend another night, forgetting where I'm from I try to be profound but, its something that I'm not In this strange town, that i could burn to the ground Because what the fuck do i care about it? Im standing over this town, with so many unknowns This city holds no answers, so many unknowns Build me bridges with sticks and stone, will they break, will it fall? Just ignore the snapping sound, before i fall and hit the ground Im standing over this town, with so many unknowns This city holds no answers, so many unknowns Paradise is a myth you seek, or is it ignorance thats blinding me? Im waiting for a miracle, I wont let go until it comes Run like the river, flows through the ground Am I afraid of what might be? Am i afraid of what ill find? Am i afraid ill stop breathing? Am i afraid to love again? Am i afraid to be something more than you see?

When I could have spoke up, i held my tongue Now i can’t say nothing, nothing to no one Its an excuse but its been a long time Yet you still keep me waiting at the back of the line Captivated by people that i barely know Friends are asking me whats wrong Been on my own now for so long Just waiting on something or someone to show Well what can i say Maybe I’m better off this way Cause i made it through spring Living on a shoe string, I cant take much more Before i close the door Sit with me now, theres a world to pass by If all i see is you, then thats just fine You help me lose, all of my crimes Don’t keep me waiting at the back of the line Well what can i say Maybe I’m better off this way Cause i made it through spring Living on a shoe string, I cant take much more Before i close the door You'll send me postcards from time to time, way back here to the back of the line

Reliant 03:13
Its hard to say, that Im breaking my bones So that I can try To keep you around I used to be so defiant, now i feel so reliant on you I cant go a day, without needing to say Something to you For fear I'll lose you I used to be so defiant, now i feel so reliant on you I dont know, what i would do If you packed up, and left me to do my own thing Without you I feel i could lose my mind, spending so much time Just thinking of how, I could have kept you around Its hard to say, that Im breaking my bones So that I can try To keep you around I used to be so defiant, now i feel so reliant on you

The New Town 03:48
I hope I can catch you in this wind, while I make my choice. Be careful where you step, you might get caught up in it. I can face the baron sea, I won't let it phase me this time. I'm lost in the clouds. Without a shred of doubt I'm forever lost in time. Don't you let me come down. Is the last time that I'll see, the wind blowing on these trees. As the rain kisses the new town, while the old girl is still wearing her crown. It never feels like a storm here, I'm always centred, always clear. Our friends grow old, and the beggars become the bold. Don't you let me come down. There's lots of roads that I have faced, I started late and I tried to catch the next train (not that I'm trying to run away) I felt the pull before, and I choose to ignore it, but this time, it's never to late for me. This time. It's never to late for me. Like the re run of our favourite show, we know the plot and we know the story. We forgot to watch the end, must have fallen asleep again.

O' Brother 03:47
O' Brother Where did we go so wrong? We use to sit together, down where the river flowed We would talk of our dreams and no one could say a thing O’ Brother Where did we go so wrong? If you need to praise to someone above Say theres nothing left here for us Can you pull yourself out of this rut Come on heed this son, try to save your soul O’ Brother O’ Brother Come sit with me Break this bread, and talk of older days Why are things different now? Things are so different now. O’ Brother You’re such a pessimist If you need to praise to someone above Say theres nothing left here for us Can you pull yourself out of this rut Come on heed this son, try to save your soul O’ Brother

We’re so far from what I see in my head Push ourselves to the brink and say we ‘care’ I have nothing to prove, and I’m so sick of playing the fool Well weather the storm till then, until someone sins again Well weather the storm till then, let the waves crash within I want to show you my bare bones, share with you the whole storm I want to see your bare bones, share with me in the perfect storm When the sun comes over those hills, our eyes close We’re blinded to this suffering scene and careless love We had nothing to lose, we made this something worth losing Well weather the storm till then, until someone sins again Well weather the storm till then, let the waves crash within I want to show you my bare bones, share with you the whole storm I want to see your bare bones, share with me in the perfect storm I want to see... I want to be... the perfect storm

Do you need a drink? Do you need it to feel something? Or for you Just to get through the night If you see what i see Would you burn in your skin? At a world, so full of heartless Have you chosen your skin? Do you know what's within? The gift that is given just, thrown away So, step on the neck Bite the hand that feeds You’re just ‘Trying to breathe’ We’re all just ‘trying to breathe’ Hello! My young entrepreneur Say, Hello. To this beautiful dancer Hello! My young aspiring artist Say, Hello. To this beautiful muse Grab your shades Keep everyone from looking in No more deception, no more lies Nobody will find you, if you just hide If you take a stand, with everything that you have and trust yourself, make something of your life Hello! My young entrepreneur Say, Hello. To this beautiful dancer Hello! My young aspiring artist Say, Hello. To this beautiful muse Now, you think love will not betray you anymore? How can love betray me anymore? So you think love cannot betray you anymore? Watch as love betrays

In Disguise 02:36
Come sit down with me and my worn and broken bones Tell me your story, bare to me your soul lets not let time pass us by we don’t need a reason why Are you looking for adventure? Or are you looking for a lie? Fairytales aren’t written in disguise Can you see the future? Tell me is it worth my time. Share with me the past, and everything you have Well see what we can do, we have nothing to lose lets not let time pass us by we don’t need a reason why Are you looking for adventure? Or are you looking for a lie? Fairytales are not written in disguise Fairytales are not written in disguise
