 | Good morning son I am a bird Wearing a brown polyester shirt You want a coke? Maybe some fries? The roast beef combo's only nine ninety five But it's okay You don't have to pay I've got all the change Everybody knows It hurts to grow up But everybody does It's so weird to be back here Let me tell you what The years go on and We're still fighting it And you're so much like me I'm sorry Good morning son Twenty years from now Maybe we'll both sit down And have a few beers And I can tell You about today And how I picked you up And everything changed It was pain Sunny days and rain I knew you'd feel the same things Everybody knows It hurts to grow up But everybody does It's so weird to be back here Let me tell you what The years go on and We're still fighting it |

 | I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street. Now did you read the news today They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fire's still alight There burning into the night. There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see this is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in. Ooh Superman where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour. This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why, this is a land of confusion. This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in. I remember long ago - Ooh when the sun was shining Yes and the stars were bright All through the night And the sound of your laughter As I held you tight So long ago - I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know, we'll never keep. |

 | Mmm If the fish swam out of the ocean And grew legs and they started walking And the apes climbed down from the trees And grew tall and they started talking And the stars fell out of the sky And my tears rolled into the ocean And now I'm looking for a reason why You even set my world into motion 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really there Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold Mmm I look up into the night sky I see a thousand eyes staring back And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black I feel the weight of something beyond them I don't see what I can feel If vision is the only validation Then most of my life isn't real 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really there Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold |

 | This world will never be What I expected And if I don't belong Who would have guessed it? I will not leave alone Everything that I own To make you feel like it's not too late It's never too late Even if I say It'll be alright Still I hear you say You want to end your life Now and again we try To just stay alive Maybe we'll turn it all around 'Cause it's not too late It's never too late No one will ever see This side reflected And if there's something wrong Who would have guessed it? And I have left alone Everything that I own To make you feel like It's not too late It's never too late |
 | Standing where I am now, standing up at all I was used to feeling like I was never gonna see myself at the finish line Hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all I was used to seeing no future in my sight line Sometimes it feels like they wanna remind me Send all those villains after me I'm not their hero But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave I never walked the party line Doesn't mean that I was never afraid I'm not your hero But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same Feeling like I am now lighting up the hall I was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart Learning all I know now, losing all I did I never used to feel like I'd be standing so far ahead Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost Sending your peaceful loss to me I'm not their hero But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave I never walked the party line Doesn't mean that I was never afraid I'm not your hero But that doesn't mean we're not one and the same Sometimes it feels like the side that I'm on Plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand Sometimes it feels like I'm all that they've got It's so hard to know I'm not what they want |
 | The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long Feels like we're running out of time Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong You got to read between the lines Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can Make it through another day Make it worth the price we pay The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive I do my best to do my part Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve I keep my magic in my heart Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby I am counting on you You know what you've got to do Fight the good fight every moment Every minute every day Fight the good fight every moment It's your only way All your life you've been waiting for your chance Where you'll fit into the plan But you're the master of your own destiny So give and take the best that you can |
 | Racey days Help me through the hopeless haze But my oh my Tragic eyes I can't even recognize myself behind So if the answer is no Can I change your mind Out again, a siren screams at half past ten And you won't let go While I ignore, that we both felt like this Before it starts to show So if I had a chance Would you let me know Why aren't you shaking Step back in time Graciously taken Oh you're too kind And if the answer is no Can I change your mind |
 | My boy builds coffins with hammers and nails He doesn't build ships, he has no use for sails He doesn't make tables, dressers or chairs He can't carve a whistle cause he just doesn't care My boy builds coffins for the rich and the poor Kings and queens; they've all knocked on his door Beggars and liars, gypsies and thieves They all come to him 'cause he's so eager to please My boy builds coffins he makes them all day But it's not just for work and it isn't for play He's made one for himself One for me too One of these days he'll make one for you For you, for you, for you My boy builds coffins for better or worse Some say its a blessing, some say its a curse He fits them together in sunshine or rain Each one is unique, no two are the same My boy builds coffins and I think it's a shame That when each one's been made, he can't see it again He crafts everyone with love and with care Then it's thrown in the ground, it just isn't fair My boy builds coffins he makes them all day But it's not just for work and it isn't for play He's made one for himself One for me too One of these days he'll make one for you |
 | From your slanted view see the morning dew Sink into the soil, watch the water boil They won't see me run, who can blame them? They never look to see me fly, so I never have to lie I won't fall asleep I won't fall asleep Hey yeah, don't let 'em know we're coming Hey yeah, tiptoe higher Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low Hey yeah, tiptoe higher Nobody else, nobody else Nobody else can take me higher Nobody else can take me higher Nobody else can take me higher Nobody else Hey yeah, don't let 'em know we're coming Hey yeah, tiptoe higher Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low Hey yeah, tiptoe higher Hey yeah, don't let 'em know we're coming Hey yeah, tiptoe higher Take some time to simmer down, keep your head down low Hey yeah, tiptoe higher |

 | I don't know what I've done Or if I like what I've begun But something told me to run And honey you know me it's all or none There were sounds in my head LIttle voices whispering That I should go and this should end Oh and I found myself listening 'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should 'Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood See I thought love was black and white That it was wrong or it was right But you ain't leaving without a fight And I think I am just as torn inside 'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should 'Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you This is what I have to do 'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should 'Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood |
 | Who knows how long I've been awake now? The shadows on my wall don't sleep They keep calling me Beckoning... Who knows what's right? The lines keep getting thinner My age has never made me wise But I keep pushing on and on and on and on There's nothing left to say now... There's nothing left to say now... I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now... I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now... There's nothing left to say now... There's nothing left to say now... I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now... I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now... Below my soul I feel an engine Collapsing as it sees the pain If I could only shut it out I've come too far To see the end now Even if my way is wrong I keep pushing on and on and on and on There's nothing left to say now... There's nothing left to say now... I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now... I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now... There's nothing left to say now... There's nothing left to say now... I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now... I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now... I keep falling, I keep falling down... I keep falling, I keep falling down... Hey! I keep falling, I keep falling down... I keep falling, I keep falling down... If you could only save me I'm drowning in the waters of my soul |
  | Strange how you know inside me I measure the time and I stand amazed Strange how I know inside you My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze And of course I forgive I've seen how you live Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes You pick up the pieces And the ghosts in the attic They never quite leave And of course I forgive You've seen how I live I've got darkness and fears to appease My voices and analogies Ambitions like ribbons Worn bright on my sleeve Strange how we know each other Strange how I fit into you There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease Strange how you fit into me A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs And with each passing day The stories we say Draw us tighter into our addiction Confirm our conviction That some kind of miracle Passed on our heads And how I am sure Like never before Of my reasons for defying reason Embracing the seasons We dance through the colors Both followed and led Strange how we fit each other Strange how certain the journey Time unfolds the petals For our eyes to see Strange how this journey's hurting In ways we accept as part of fate's decree So we just hold on fast Acknowledge the past As lessons exquisitely crafted Painstakingly drafted To carve us as instruments That play the music of life For we don't realize Our faith in the prize Unless it's been somehow elusive How swiftly we choose it The sacred simplicity Of you at my side |
 | These fancy things, will never come in between You're part of my entity, here for infinity When the war has took its part When the world has dealt its cards If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart Because When the sun shines, we'll shine together Told you I'd be here forever Said I'll always be a friend Took an oath I'ma stick it out 'til the end Now that it's raining more than ever Know that we'll still have each other You can stand under my umbrella You can stand under my umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh) Under my umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh) Under my umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh) Under my umbrella (Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh) You can run into my arms It's OK, don't be alarmed Come here to me There's no distance in between our love So go on and let the rain pour I'll be all you need and more Because When the sun shines, we'll shine together Told you I'll be here forever Said I'll always be a friend Took an oath I'ma stick it out 'til the end Now that it's raining more than ever Know that we'll still have each other You can stand under my umbrella You can stand under my umbrella |

 | I was left to my own devices Many days fell away with nothing to show And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settled around us And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? If you close your eyes Eh-eh-o eh-o Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Grey clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above But if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes, Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? |

 | There must be some kind of way out of here Said the joker to the theif There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Business men they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None will level on the wine Nobody of it is worth No reason to get exited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But you and I we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us talk falsely now The hour's getting late All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came And went bare feet servants too Outside in the cold distance A wild cat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl |
 | I was the match and you were the rock Maybe we started this fire We sat apart and watched All we had burned on the pyre (You said) we were born with nothing And we sure as hell have nothing now (You said) we were born with nothing And we sure as hell have nothing now These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire Do you understand that we will never be the same again? Do you understand that we will never be the same again? The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again The future's in our hands and we will never be the same again These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire These are the things, the things we lost The things we lost in the fire fire fire These are the things, the things we lost These are the things we lost in the fire fire fire Flames – they licked the walls Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore |
  | We were young and drinking in the park There was nowhere else to go And you said you always had my back Oh but how were we to know That these are the days that bind you together, forever And these little things define you forever, forever All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie? If we're only ever looking back We will drive ourselves insane As the friendship goes resentment grows We will walk our different ways But those are the days that bind us together, forever And those little things define us forever, forever All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie? And I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore I don't wanna hear about the bad blood anymore I don't wanna hear you talk about it anymore All this bad blood here, won't you let it dry? It's been cold for years, won't you let it lie? |
 | When all of your flaws and all of my flaws Are laid out one by one A wonderful part of the mess that we made We pick ourselves undone All of your flaws and all of my flaws They lie there hand in hand Ones we've inherited, ones that we learned They pass from man to man There's a hole in my soul I can't fill it I can't fill it There's a hole in my soul Can you fill it? Can you fill it? You have always worn your flaws upon your sleeve And I have always buried them deep beneath the ground Dig them up; let's finish what we've started Dig them up, so nothing's left unturned All of your flaws and all of my flaws, When they have been exhumed We'll see that we need them to be who we are Without them we'd be doomed There's a hole in my soul I can't fill it I can't fill it There's a hole in my soul Can you fill it? Can you fill it? |
 | Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well that's fine by me So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is the prize So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost |

     | My greatest fear is we're just wasting tears wasting several years still being round here My greatest fear is Maybe you will notice I'm not what you wanted after all these years But I, I've got a very big hope for us I'm gonna keep looking out for us It's been a difficult year And I still wanna make love with you So where do we go from here What do you want from me? What do you want from me? I still think I'm in love with you I still wanna belong to you So what do you want from me? What do you want from me now? Your greatest fear is we're not getting wiser We're not wise at all It's getting harder, harder to recover From the night before When you turn me on But I, I like to think of us moving on I like to think of us getting on So answer me, where do we go from here? Where do we go, Because I, I still wanna get old with you I still want us to grow What do you want from me? What do you want from me? I, I still think I'm in love with you I still feel you're the one So, what do you want from me? What do you want from me now? |
  | It's just a fraction of time, Until we move in reverse, Can feel the pressure and all the minds, And the whole Universe. It is a question of force, And of a physical law, We've had this battle a thousand times, Never been here before, Never been here before. Haven't got the strength to fight anymore, Got no desire to die anymore, I need an affirmation I want to see you again, again, again... Haven't got the strength to fight anymore, Don't even know what I'm fighting you for I need an affirmation I need an affirmation We're at the end of the line At the start of the race I want to swim where the water falls Off the edge of your face I'm reaching out for the light Past the silhouette of you In the cold reflection of time Is a point of view, is a point of view Can you see me like I see you? Can you see me like I see you? Haven't got the strength to fight anymore, Got no desire to die anymore, I need an affirmation I want to see you again, again, again... Haven't got the strength to fight anymore, Don't even know what I'm fighting you for I need an affirmation I need an affirmation I wanna fill you with love I wanna see you survive Just take a second to know yourself For the rest of your life We're just a minute away From the place where we wanna be We're not really falling apart We're just incomplete We're not really falling apart We're just incomplete We're just incomplete We're just incomplete |
  | I'm just a step away I'm just a breath away Losin' my faith today (Fallin' off the edge today) I am just a man Not superhuman (I'm not superhuman) Someone save me from the hate It's just another war Just another family torn (Falling from my faith today) Just a step from the edge Just another day in the world we live I need a hero to save me now I need a hero (save me now) I need a hero to save my life A hero'll save me (just in time) I've gotta fight today To live another day Speakin' my mind today (My voice will be heard today) I've gotta make a stand But I am just a man (I'm not superhuman) My voice will be heard today It's just another war Just another family torn (My voice will be heard today) It's just another kill The countdown begins to destroy ourselves I need a hero to save me now I need a hero (save me now) I need a hero to save my life A hero'll save me (just in time) I need a hero to save my life I need a hero just in time Save me just in time Save me just in time Who's gonna fight for what's right Who's gonna help us survive We're in the fight of our lives (And we're not ready to die) Who's gonna fight for the weak Who's gonna make 'em believe I've got a hero (I've got a hero) Livin' in me I'm gonna fight for what's right Today I'm speaking my mind And if it kills me tonight (I will be ready to die) |
 | You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall You held it all and I was by your side, powerless I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end. I'm left with emptiness that words cannot defend You'll never know what I became because of you Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall You held it all and I was by your side, powerless And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall You held it all and I was by your side, powerless Powerless Powerless Powerless |

 | My hands are cold, my body's numb I'm still in shock, what have you done? My head is pounding, my vision's blurred Your mouth is moving, I don't hear a word And I hurt so bad, that I search my skin For the entry point, where love went in And ricocheted and bounced around And left a hole when you walked out, yeah I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room Can anybody help me with these exit wounds? I don't know how much more love this heart can lose And I'm dying, dying from these exit wounds Wounds! Where they're leaving, the scars you're keeping Exit wounds Where they're leaving, the scars you're keeping Marks of battle, they still feel raw A million pieces of me, on the floor I'm damaged goods, for all to see Now who would ever wanna be with me? I've got all the baggage, drink the pills Yeah, this is living but without the will I'm backing out, I'm shutting down You left a hole when you walked out, yeah I'm falling through the doors of the emergency room Can anybody help me with these exit wounds?

 | All I want now is to be with you Cause you know I've been everywhere else Looking back at what you got me through You knew me better than I knew myself When I feel lost and I can't find my way When words are at a loss I can hear you say I'll be by your side, when all hope has died I will still be around oh and I, I'm still on your side When everything's wrong, I will still be around By your side Fighting my way back to where you are The only place I ever felt at home Stumbling backwards through the dark I know how it feels to be alone And where we go is where I wanna be And in the silence I hear you say to me I'll be by your side, when all hope has died I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side When everything's wrong, I will still be around I can't wait another day to show my space between Your heart and mine, and you're all that I need You say I I'll be by your side, when all hope has died I will still be around, oh and I, I'm still on your side When everything's wrong, I will still be around By your side, by your side, by your side, by your side, by your side |
