Same Morning Light
03:31
|
|||
|
At times things go wrong
to scars you'll belong
from all the things that were just too strong
you hold together then come undone
You keep all you've lost
and carry the cost
along with all that you can't shake off
and what you find in between what's lost
Everything's a wave to break
holding in what you can't take
when you've lost the will to make
love's only always awake
You leave something behind
beautiful and blind
to all the things that we failed to try
another morning, the same old light

Stay on Fire
04:04
|
|||
|
If I can't feel you, you start bleeding out loud
and if I've gone running, you make sure that I'm found
Sometimes you don't live through the things you survive
somehow you just learn to stay on fire
If I start falling, you keep moving the ground
and if I stop breathing, you fill my air with sound
Sometimes you don't live through the things you survive
somehow you just learn to stay on fire
And when you've been beaten
just know I'll never bow
cos you only lose everything
once in a while
Sometimes you don't through the things you survive
somehow you just learn to stay on fire

Couldn't Live Without
03:39
|
|||
|
Living is breaking easier now
our time has passed
leaving a trail of every precious thing
all that didn't last
I know you tried to tell me, but your words were just too loud
I guess I wasn't ready for what I couldn't live without
I know that things need getting better
and aren't sorted out
if I can move your never either way
I can wait around
I know you tried to tell me, but your words were just too loud
I guess I wasn't ready for what I couldn't live without
There's no ever knowing
why we had to fall
but I'm just tired of blaming us
when we can't see at all
I know you tried to tell me, but your words were just too loud
I guess I wasn't ready for what I couldn't live without

When It's True
04:36
|
|||
|
I'm going blind, wasn't ready
all that killed time, that I buried
comes back alive, haunting steady
it's so heavy, when it's true
I hope you don't mind, kinda fading
don't feel obliged, to keep staying
the things to untie, will start fraying
gray keeps shading, when it's true
As sunrises die, hard to face it
when lightning was mine, I misplaced it
so if there's more time, let's not waste it
we can taste it, when it's true

Which Only Life
03:52
|
|||
|
Which only life is the one you'd leave behind
did you decide to just live it in your mind
Let's pretend that you never stop to think about it
you're heaven ends only when you let it go
This passing light is the sum of you alone
try as you might it's yours but not to own
Let's pretend that you never stop to think about it
you're heaven ends only when you let it go

Better Off
03:41
|
|||
|
Echoes and voices
changing the choices
you'd make anyway
those were the chances
all the last dances
you let walk away
With everything that you gain there's a loss
so don't think you'd be that much better off
Real or imagined
it's hard to fathom
living different days
all that you dreamed of
would your we be us
kind of hard to say
With everything that you gain there's a loss
so don't think you'd be that much better off
Your life is a private screening each night and day
your lines might change, but the meaning still stays the same
You'll still be needing
death and believing
things might break your way
can't stop believing
you'd keep receiving
heartbeats that can't stay
With everything that you gain there's a loss
so don't think you'd be that much better off

Low Tide Skeletons
04:33
|
|||
|
You trade on your love
cos you know you're nearing the end
you're taking the sun
cos you might not be here again
the low tide is done
revealing your skeletons
your mind's out of guns
your heartbeat pretends
You blame all you've done
on someone that only you became
you died on the run
cos you couldn't live on where you stayed
your prayer's never won
and your thoughts leave a stain
Don't have to break to anymore
Don't have to break to anymore

Back to the Sunrise
03:30
|
|||
|
There's no real easy way you can say this
no making sense of it all
it's never leaving
this weight of wishes
hangs restlessly on your wall
But it's alright, we'll find it
a way through all the wreckage
by starlight, we just might
make it back to the sunrise
Are you the colder that you imagined
your yesterday's would have called
a little older
your time is fragile
enough to break when you fall
But it's alright, we'll find it
a way through all the wreckage
by starlight, we just might
make it back to the sunrise
If I could you know I'd explain
how to keep counting todays
But it's alright, we'll find it
a way through all the wreckage
by starlight, we just might
make it back to the sunrise

A Chance to Keep Today
03:55
|
|||
|
Seeing the years
on my hands
as I try to hold back the sun, slips away
returning to clear
like a tide
you know that things will come undone, anyway
So if you have a chance to keep today
with all its gold and all its rain
and if you hold a glance too long just say
all is well and all is pain
Walking for miles
with the freight of your loss
and the things that you gained on your back, all the way
So if you have a chance to keep today
with all its gold and all its rain
and if you hold a glance too long just say
all is well and all is pain

Not Your Hero
05:01
|
|||
|
I saw all of myself in
the space you left behind
that used to overflow with
a heart's river run dry
Yeah I'm not your hero
but I can't be your ghost
in your time I've borrowed
I lost you the most
I blew all of my chances
on things that should never be
I saw it all glances
but thought there's nothing here to see
Yeah I'm not your hero
but I can't be your ghost
in your time I've borrowed
I lost you the most
