Eye to Eye
03:06
|

You think you’re on a roll this time
And you can’t help but put your best foot forward now
And you can’t see it but you’re on the edge
I won’t stand aside and watch it crumble down
But you refuse to budge and see me eye to eye
I’m begging on my knees to see things eye to eye
I fall apart a hole in my heart it’s eye to eye
I think I waited much too long to say goodbye
You’re gonna raise the stakes this time
And you won’t change your mind with anything I say
You believe it but you’re on the edge
If you can’t get behind me then get out of the way
But you refuse to budge and see me eye to eye
I’m begging on my knees to see things eye to eye
I fall apart a hole in my heart it’s eye to eye
I think I waited much too long to say goodbye
But you refuse to budge and see me eye to eye
I’m begging on my knees to see things eye to eye
I fall apart a hole in my heart it’s eye to eye
I think I waited much too long to say goodbye
And you won’t stand beside and see me eye to eye

Invisible
03:13
|
|||
All at once the ghosts between the
Walls appear and fill the empty space
All and all it’s still the same
Plastic toys and roller coasters
Coney Island running in my brain
All and all it’s still the same
You won’t ever see me anymore
You won’t ever see me, cause I’m invisible
Images are flashing through my mind
Projecting bits of broken light
All and all it’s still the same
Hospitals and battle scars from
Wars we fought when we were still alive
All and All it’s still the same
You won’t ever see me anymore
And I hate to see you go
You won’t ever see me anymore
You won’t ever see me, cause I’m invisible

Elephant in the Room
03:48
|

There’s an elephant in the room nobody says a word
When I say it now out loud it sounds so absurd
And I’ve done everything that I can to try and let it go
Now it’s getting under my skin and starting to show
Well I tried this a million different ways
It’s not like me to admit to my mistakes
But I just can’t get the words to come out right
Well I don’t want to be here anymore
Cause every time I take a step I fall to the floor
Well I’m not hanging round here for the score
It’s just with everything that I give you’re asking for more
There’s an elephant in my head knocking at the door
And it’s getting much too loud for me to ignore
But I keep sitting on my hands, trying to hold my tongue
I think I waited far to long but I could be wrong
Well I tried this a million different ways
It’s not like me to admit to my mistakes
But I just can’t get the words to come out right
Well I don’t want to be here anymore
Cause every time I take a step I fall to the floor
Well I’m not hanging round here for the score
It’s just with everything that I give you’re asking for more
Well I tried this a million different ways
It’s not like me to admit to my mistakes
But I just can’t get the words to come out right

Moving On
04:26
|
|||
I’ll tell you something that you might not like
Your words can’t get to me, I hold my head up high
You keep on talking like there’s something wrong
I gotta tell you now, those feelings don’t belong
Life’s too short for me to fret and worry
Nothing gets me down and I’m not in a hurry
I’m flying higher like you wouldn’t believe
Oh yeah, I’m standing tall, I got my whole life ahead of me
I’m moving on from all the pain that you put me through
I’m back up on my feet I’m one step ahead of you, yeah
I’ve had enough of all the things that you said
I don’t need anything to stand in my way again, yeah
It’s 7:30 on a friday night
And when my feet start moving, yeah I feel alright
I’ve had enough of staring at the phone
I’ve got this restless feeling down in my bones
I never understood the reason why
You wanna rip my heart out and hurt my pride
I’m finally free to step into the light
Oh yeah, I’m feeling confident and my future’s bright
I’m moving on from all the pain that you put me through
I’m back up on my feet I’m one step ahead of you, yeah
I’ve had enough of all the things that you said
I don’t need anything to stand in my way again, yeah
I’m moving on

Flawed
04:25
|
|||
I’ve never been the best at words
But it keeps running through my head that I should
Try and make amends but I keep
Following the devil’s trap I got this
Itching in my bones to leave this
Place I call my home and yet I
Couldn’t take a single step
She would never understand the way I’m
Filled with these demands
Because I’m flawed from the start
And it’s keeping me apart
From the ones I love and adore
They expected so much more
I’m a better man and it seems
That I’m living in a dream, you know
The devil gets the best of us
And I ain’t gonna rest because I’m flawed
Could have lost my only chance and never
Admit that I was wrong and yet I
Knew it all along you know
It doesn’t have to be this way
I tried to keep it to myself
And yet I know I needed help and now
It’s hard to put it on the line
You know that something wasn’t clear
And now I’ve gotta end it here
Because I’m flawed from the start
And it’s keeping me apart
From the ones I love and adore
They expected so much more
I’m a better man and it seems
That I’m living in a dream, you know
The devil gets the best of us
And I ain’t gonna rest because I’m flawed
Lonely as it seems this moment’s insignificant
In the grand scheme of things
Take me for my word
I’m trying to harder everyday
To shed the weaker man away
Because a man is only as good as his word
Because I’m flawed from the start
And it’s keeping me apart
From the ones I love and adore
They expected so much more
I’m a better man and it seems
That I’m living in a dream, you know
The devil gets the best of us
And I ain’t gonna rest because I’m flawed

Make It Up to You
03:17
|
|||
I was just guessing what you’re thinking
But I know I’m often wrong
My good intentions fall to pieces
When I’m wandering down that road
I need you here with me
Like you promised you would be
And as far as I can see
You’ll get through and I will
Make it up to you
I can make it up to you
Walking in circles I’m pretending
That these empty walls can talk
I keep on waiting for the moment
When I finally hear you knock
I need you here with me
Like you promised you would be
And as far as I can see
You’ll get through and I will
Make it up to you
I can make it up to you
I need you here with me
Like you promised you would be
And as far as I can see
You’ll get through and I will
Make it up to you
I can make it up to you
I can make it up to you
I can make it up to you

Life Support
04:40
|

Waiting in the lobby for the test results I keep breathing
Knowing that the prognosis isn't looking good
Doctor says I only have a month to live
This might be the last you ever see of me
Hooking up my body up to life support I keep breathing
Wishing I could tackle this disease
My hair is falling out and my skin is pale I feel weaker
Having all the life sucked out of me
I'm still alive (Don't write me off yet)
I'm still alive (Don't write me off yet)

Little Bird
03:22
|
|||
I wouldn’t want anyone to see
The little bird sitting next to me
Telling me what I’m doing
Even though I keep losing
I wouldn’t want anyone to know
I’ve really got nowhere else to go
I’m out on a Friday night
Nothing is feeling right
But I got a feeling that someone’s coming back for me
I wouldn’t want anyone to leave
They’ve really got no reason to agree
I’m standing here on my own
Thinking I should go home
I wouldn’t want anyone to hear
It’s really been quite a rocky year
I don’t know what went wrong
That’s making me sing this song
But I got a feeling that someone’s coming back for me
I wouldn’t want anyone to say
I’m mixed up in my head and lost my way
I don’t know what I’m doing
But something is keeping me moving
But I got a feeling that someone’s coming back for me
I wouldn’t want anyone to see
The little bird sitting next to me
Telling me what I’m doing
Even though I keep losing
I wouldn’t want anyone to know
I’ve really got nowhere else to go
I’m out on a Friday night
Nothing is feeling right
But I got a feeling that someone’s coming back for me

Only in Your Head
03:42
|
|||
I know I’m dreaming but nobody’s sleeping this early in the morning
Public relations and my expectations are spinning round my head again
Your own existence don’t give you permission, your time is up, you’re out of here
The baggage we claim is the thing that remains there’s no way for us to fix this mess
I can’t believe what you’re telling to me
Yeah, it’s only in your head
I can’t agree, what you’re asking of me
Yeah, it’s only in your head
Fooling yourself with the cards you’ve been dealt you can only take it so long
This information and my situation are spinning round my head again
A matter of weeks they’ll be playing for keeps and they’re counting up the votes
It’s too close to call and I’m telling you all that it doesn’t matter anyways
I can’t believe what you’re telling to me
Yeah, it’s only in your head
I can’t agree, what you’re asking of me
Yeah, it’s only in your head
I can’t believe what you’re telling to me
Yeah, it’s only in your head
I can’t agree, what you’re selling to me
Yeah, it’s only in your head

I Get By
04:33
|
|||
Lit the fuse and blew it up
It’s out of the ashes that we begin to pick things up
You broke your leg, I lost my job
It’s gonna take everything to get back how it was
I Get By
I Get By
When I get back to your place
It doesn’t take anytime to find any empty space
Was it love that caused this pain?
And I don’t need anything to have my mind erased
I Get By
I Get By
I Get By
And it goes on and on and on and on and on
I was wrong and you were right
Time has a way of making the outcome turn out fine
With better luck we’ll find a way
To get at the heart of our problems and make them go away
But I Get By
I Get By
I Get By
And it goes on and on and on and on and on
The beat goes on and on and on and on and on

The Last Waltz
04:06
|
|||
I read in the papers about the sad news of your son, my condolences
The world lost a great soul and now all the rumors you heard have been put to rest
He struggled to find a good reason to keep moving on in this broken world
The future looked bright but somehow he lost sight of the goal, least that's what I heard
It's one, two, three steps away and he's back again
I keep lying awake up all night again
Up all night again.
Everyone told him you're gonna get through this somehow, they'll be brighter skies
And all of the voices that went on inside of his head told him otherwise
Now I can't describe what you're feeling inside but I know they'll be better days
There's nothing exciting so it's no surprise that I keep these thoughts out of play
It's one, two, three steps away and you're back again
I keep feeling the weight of the world again
All the weight pulls down again
It's been a while since I've really been true with myself or with anyone
I struggled to find a good reason to keep moving on, so does everyone
And it goes on and on and on
It's one, two, three steps away and I'm back again
I am feeling this more I ever have
But it's more than I can do or you can say

Brand New Life
02:50
|
|||
What if we got together
We could watch the boats float by
You could talk and I would listen
And I would understand your mind
Oh I long to be with you
Walking toward the sea
And the times when I’m lonely
You could be the one to comfort me
Everyday I am thankful that our
Separate paths have crossed
Every night I lay my head down
I know I’ll never feel so lost
What if we crossed the river
We could start a brand new life
With a house and a family
If you’d only be my wife
So I leave it you now
You can tell me what you think
We could step to the altar
And I could wake up to your face each day
And my promise to you now
Is you’ll always smile me
Blessed day when I come home
In your arms is where I’ll be
