You're in control
Is there anywhere you want to go? You're in control Is there anything you want to know? The future's for discovering The space in which we're traveling From the top of the first page To the end of the last day From the start in your own way You just want somebody listening to what you say It doesn't matter who you are Under the surface trying to break through Deciphering the codes in you I need a compass, draw me a map I'm on the top, I can't get back Whoa whoa The first line on the first page To the end of the last page From the start in your own way You just want somebody listening to what you say It doesn't matter who you are It doesn't matter who you are You just want Somebody listening to what you say Oh, you just want somebody listening to what you say It doesn't matter who you are It doesn't matter who you are Is there anybody out there who Is lost and hurt and lonely too Are they bleeding all your colors into one? And if you come undone As if you've been run through Some catapult it fired you You wonder if your chance will ever come Or if you're stuck in square one |
What if there was no lie
Nothing wrong, nothing right What if there was no time And no reason, or rhyme What if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side That you don't want me there in your life What if I got it wrong And no poem or song Could put right what I got wrong Or make you feel I belong What if you should decide That you don't want me there by your side That you don't want me there in you life Oooooooh that's right Let's take a breath try to put it aside Ooooooh that's right How can you know it if you don't even try Ooooooh that's right Every step that you take Could be your biggest mistake It could bend or it could break That's the risk that you take What if you should decide That you don't want me there in your life That you don't want me there by your side Oooooooh that's right Let's take a breath try to put it aside Ooooooh that's right How can you know when you don't even try Ooooooh that's right |
When I was a young boy I tried to listen
And I want to feel like that Little white shadows blink and I missed em Part of a system, a plan If you ever feel like something's missing Things you'll never understand Little white shadows sparkle and glisten Part of a system plan All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up All this sound is breaking up Whoa oh Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it you'll mean it And when you find it you'll keep it In a permanent state A permanent state When I was a young boy I tried to listen Don't you want to feel like that You're part of the human race All of the stars and the outer space Part of the system plan All this noise, I'm waking up All this space I'm taking up I cannot hear, you're breaking up Whoa oh Maybe you'll get what you wanted Maybe you'll stumble upon it Everything you ever wanted In a permanent state Maybe you'll know when you see it Maybe if you say it, you'll mean it And when you find it you'll keep it In a permanent state A permanent state Swimming on a sea of faces A tide of the human race So, an answer now is what I need I see it in the new sun rising I see it break on your horizon Oh come on love, stay with me |
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse When the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you High up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go If you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face And I Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes Tears stream down your face And I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you |
Oh brother, I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you 'cause I don' know what to do Oh brother, I can't believe it's true I'm so scared about the future, and I wanna talk to you Oh, I wanna talk to you You can take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be? You can climb a ladder up to the sun Or a write a song nobody has sung Or do something that's never been done Are you lost or incomplete? Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece? Tell me, how do you feel? Well, I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak And they're talking it to me So you take a picture of something you see In the future where will I be? You can climb a ladder up to the sun Or write a song nobody has sung Or do something that's never been done Or do something that's never been done So you don't know where you're going and you wanna talk And you feel like you're going where you've been before You tell anyone who'll listen, but you feel ignored Nothing's really making any sense at all, let's talk Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk |
Trying hard to speak and
Fighting with my weak hand Driven to distraction So part of the plan When something is broken And you try to fix it Trying to repair it Any way you can I'm diving off the deep end You become my best friend I wanna love you But I don't know if I can I know something is broken And I'm trying to fix it Trying to repair it Any way I can Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... You and me are floating on a tidal wave... Together You and me are drifting into outer space... And singing Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... You and me are floating on a tidal wave... Together You and me are drifting into outer space You and me are floating on a tidal wave... Together You and me are drifting into outer space... And singing Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh... |
How long before I get in?
Before it starts, before I begin? How long before you decide? Before I know what it feels like? Where To, where do I go? If you never try, then you'll never know How long do I have to climb, Up on the side of this mountain of mine? Look up, I look up at night Planets are moving at the speed of light Climb up, up in the trees Every chance that you get Is a chance you seize How long am I gonna stand With my head stuck under the sand? I'll start before I can stop Before I see things the right way up All that noise, and all that sound All those places I have found And birds go flying at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you'd understand? Ideas that you'll never find All the inventors could never design The buildings that you put up Japan and China all lit up The sign that I couldn't read Or a light that I couldn't see Some things you have to believe But others are puzzles, puzzling me All that noise, and all that sound All those places I have found And birds go flying at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you'd understand Ah when you see it then you'll understand? All those signs, I knew what they meant Some things you can invent Some get made, and some get sent Oh Birds go flying at the speed of sound To show you how it all began Birds came flying from the underground If you could see it then you'd understand Ah, when you see it then you'll understand? |
My song is love
Love to the lovers shone And it goes up You don't have to be alone Your heavy heart Is made of stone And it's so hard to see you Clearly you don't have to be on your own You don't have to be on your own And I'm not gonna take it back And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that You're the target that I'm aiming at And I'll get that message home My song is love My song is love I know I'm on fire for you Clearly you don't have to be alone You don't have to be on your own And I'm not gonna take it back And I'm not gonna say I don't mean that You're the target that I'm aiming at But I'm nothing on my own Got to get that message home And I'm not gonna stand and wait Not gonna leave it until its much too late On a platform I'm gonna stand and say That I'm nothing on my own And I love you, please come home My song is love, is love I know And I've got to get that message home |
You see the world in black and white
No color or life You think you'll never get it right But you're wrong, you might The sky could fall, could fall on me The parting of the seas But you mean more, mean more to me Than any color I can see All you ever wanted was love But you never looked hard enough It's never gonna give itself up All you ever wanted to be Living in perfect symmetry Nothing is as down or as up As us You see the world in black and white Nothing too bright You see no meaning to your life Yes you try Yes you try And all you ever wanted was love But you never looked hard enough It's never gonna give itself up And all you ever wanted to be Living in perfect symmetry Nothing is as down or as up And don't you want to see it come soon Floating in a big white balloon Or given your own silver spoon Don't you want to see it come down Enough of throwing your arms around And saying not a moment too soon 'Cause I feel low 'Cause I feel low Ooh Yeah I feel low Oh no Oh ooh 'Cause I feel low 'Cause I feel low Ooh And I feel low Oh no Ooh |
And the hardest part
Was letting go, not taking part Was the hardest part And the strangest thing Was waiting for that bell to ring It was the strangest start I could feel it go down Bittersweet I could taste in my mouth Silver lining the cloud Oh and I I wish that I could work it out And the hardest part Was letting go, not taking part You really broke my heart And I tried to sing But I couldn't think of anything And that was the hardest part I could feel it go down You left the sweetest taste in my mouth You're silver lining the clouds Oh and I Oh and I I wonder what it's all about I wonder what it's all about Everything I know is wrong Everything I do, it's just comes undone And everything is torn apart Oh and it's the part That's the hardest part Yeah that's the hardest part That's the hardest part |
You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me And that's what made me see Where I was going wrong You put me on a shelf And kept me for yourself I can only blame myself You can only blame me And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong And you belong with me And I could write it down Or spread it all around Get lost and then get found Or swallowed in the sea You put me on a line And hung me out to dry And darling that's when I Decided to go to sea You cut me down to size And opened up my eyes Made me realize What I could not see And I could write a book The one they'll say that shook The world, and then it took It took it back from me And I could write it down Or spread it all around Get lost and then get found And you'll come back to me Not swallowed in the sea Ooh, ooh And I could write a song A hundred miles long Well, that's where I belong And you belong with me The streets you're walking on A thousand houses long Well, that's where I belong And you belong with me Oh what good is it to live With nothing left to give Forget but not forgive Not loving all you see Oh the streets you're walking on A thousand houses long Well that's where I belong And you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea You belong with me Not swallowed in the sea Yeah, you belong with me Not swallowed in the sea |
Sunlight, opened up my eyes
To see for the first time It opened them up And tonight, rivers will run dry But not for the first time Rivers will run Hundreds of years in the future There could be computers Looking for life on Earth Don't fight for the wrong side Say what you feel like Say how you feel You'll go backwards, but then You'll go forwards, again You'll go backwards, but then You'll go Created, then drilled and invaded If somebody made it Someone will mess it up And you are not wrong to Ask who does this belong to? It belongs to all of us You'll go backwards, again You'll go forwards, again You'll go backwards, again You'll go forwards You'll go backwards, but then You'll go forwards, again You'll go backwards, but then You'll go forwards |
Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come. Let me in, unlock the door. I've never felt this way before. The wheels just keep on turning, The drummer begins to drum, I don't know which way I'm going, I don't know which way I've come. Hold my head inside your hands, I need someone who understands. I need someone, someone who hears, For you, I've waited all these years. For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come. Until my day, my day is done. And say you'll come, and set me free, Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. In your tears and in your blood, In your fire and in your flood, I hear you laugh, I heard you sing, "I wouldn't change a single thing." The wheels just keep on turning, The drummers begin to drum, I don't know which way I'm going, I don't know what I've become. For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come, Until my days, my days are done. Say you'll come and set me free, Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. Just say you'll wait, you'll wait for me. |
