Return

On a warm September night
He came home
From an evening filled
With life and unknown
The time had passed with little memory
But now I want those ghosts
To return to me
And all I want is one more night
All I want is one more day
So I can breath it all knowing
It will all be gone someday
And all I want is one more night
All I want is one more day
To return to simple times
Before that long decay
Now we aren’t by any means
At the end
But still those memories passed and with them
Many friends
Buried underneath the cobblestone
Is it terrible to want it
To return
And all I want is one more night
All I want is one more day
So I can breath it all knowing
It will all be gone someday
And all I want is one more night
All I want is one more day
To return to simple times
Before that long decay
Return
And I Won't believe that we are at the end
Return
And I Won't believe that we are at the end

Home (Is It True?)
04:40
|

Is it true
That the world gets over you
Is it true
Is it true
Can you feel
Your life as it slips away
Would you know
As it goes
But I don't understand
What choice do we have
When all is planned
What once was a wonder
Now is gone
Time to pick up the pieces and
Move on
Move on
And this is a life fit for someone
But is it a life fit for me
I don't know
I don't know
And this is a home meant for someone
But is it a home meant for me
I don't know
I don't know

A Sign
03:15
|
|||
|
Time and time again
He told himself it'd be more than this
And time and time again
He only seemed further from bliss
Promises and speeches
Daring to be told
Along these waves and oceans
He does everything but mourn
Holding hands with no one
Waiting for the light
He's got no more hopes to savour
There'll be no more rest tonight
You try so hard but nothing heals
Hold on to whatever's real
Tell yourself you need more time
You're waiting for another sign
You try so hard but nothing heals
Hold on to whatever's real
Tell yourself you need more time
You're waiting for another sign
You're not them
They're not you
You're not them
They're not you
You try so hard but nothing heals
Hold on to whatever's real
Tell yourself you need more time
You're waiting for another sign
You try so hard but nothing heals
Hold on to whatever's real
Tell yourself you need more time
You're waiting for another sign

Uncertainty
04:43
|

|
Have you ever known
A doubt like this
That life is dead
Your heart's in your fist
You take a step
Then turn around
You hear it still
Just waiting to be found
Its not around it's in your eyes
Takes your faith as a disguise
You’ve been told it's here to stay
Its a price that we all pay
Don’t look around
Wanting more
Take a seat and listen
You’ve heard it all before
Oh to be, the dream
Oh to be, the dream
Oh to be, the dream
Be still and set it free
Oh to be, the dream
Oh to be, the dream
Oh to be, the dream
Be still and set it free

Arm's Length
03:50
|
|||
|
Strike once with an open fist
One hand counts the things you’ll miss
Never good at holding secrets
And once or twice a flight risk
When good men count the hours
They always pass so slow
Good riddance slips
But I'll miss it when it’s gone
Arm's length to pass
When I see you’re going strong
Losing my grasp
From holding on too long
Are you still waiting
Keeping track as the score lays
Looking for a pattern in the
Straight lines set in place
Don’t you ever worry
You’re missing something
Does the world get blurry
When you can’t trace everything
Bad luck sets in
But it won’t stay around too long
Arm's length to pass
But distance makes the heart grow fond
Sentiment grabs
To keep from moving on
Good riddance slips
But I'll miss it when it’s gone
Arms length to pass
But the space between feels wrong
Losing my grasp
From holding on too long
Arms length to pass
But I’ll miss it when its gone
Arms length at last
But I'll miss you when you’re gone
Miss you when you’re gone
Miss you when you’re gone

Daylight
04:23
|

|
Underneath the surface
I look for you in the seams
Swimming pools you hide in
As if you were lost at sea
Perpetuate the lie surrounding
Running out of time
Forget the dividing lines
Of what was yours or mine
When I hit the bottom
I know that you won’t be there
The absence of your voice
Still ringing hollow in the air
You won’t be coming back to me
That’s all i will know
You took all the daylight
And thought i’d know where to go
I can feel the tap as it runs cold
But couldn’t tell you how or why
I'd believe you if you said
You put the stars in the sky
And if someday the empty space
Where I laid at your side
Grows too much to bear
You know where I'll be every time
When I get too high
I know you won’t be around
Never could quite figure
How your feet kept to the ground
Still I wonder if you ever
Feel an aching in your heart
And even when I think you’re gone
I'll find you in the dark

Youth
04:27
|
|||
|
When you were young
Just starting to come undone
I wish I had met you
Just to see what you were like
So we’d walk down the same path
And read by the same light
For the longest time
I’ve waited for your voice
To call me through the storm
The lights are dim
The feeling sinks into my skin
And the meadows aren’t as green
As they used to be
And my dreams are not as clear
As I'd hoped they’d be
Now I’m staring at the ceiling
Waiting for something more
Asking something I don’t believe in
What was it all for

Somewhere Far Away
03:58
|
|||
|
There’s a thin line to trace
Between the coasts of where we’ve been
An outline of the trees
And the nothing in between
If I could read your mind
I’d find the place you always go
When you’re somewhere far away
When you’re someone no one knows
When the sky falls dark
I pick a spot on the map
Dream of where I could go
Without ever coming back
If I could light the sky
I'd find somewhere new to go
When you’re somewhere far away
When you’re someone I don’t know
If I could plot the time
I know where I’d always go
Back when we were far away
And there was so much left to know
If you could read my mind
You’d see the place we could call home
There’s still somewhere far away
There’s still so much we don’t know
