Come Back Home
Another morning
And I’m still holding onto you…to you
I’ll write you letters
Makes me a better man for…and I’d do
Anything, any way
Forever after
All of the steps you take,
I’m standing still
Let it go and try to get some sleep…
Another morning
And I’m still looking for a sign..for a sign
And all I wanted was for you to look me in the eye
And find
All of the everything that I found in you
Madness and disarray, I still see through
Let it go and try to get some sleep
Cos’ you’re a secret that I need to keep
Come back…
Come back..
Come back..
Come back home…to me
Missed Me
Rise up from the city like the fire that ate your bones
The coldest mystery of misery is
Dying here on your own
I’ve seen all the answers
But all the questions remain unknown
I’m still giving away the only escape that remains
Come on come on
Help me out
Show me the way
You could be
I wanna know, I wanna know
I’m coming home to a girl
who’ll say
she missed me when I’m gone
Fire and rocknroll–
They’ve been crawlin through my veins
Grab your best dress honey and let’s ride the interstate
I won’t make you sorry
All I ask is you stay with me
I’m still giving away the only escape that remains
Come on come on
Help me out
Show me the way
You could be
I wanna know, I wanna know
I’m coming home
To where we hide
To where we’re all alone
Don’t leave my side
I’ll treat you right
I’ll be looking for you…
I’ll be looking for you…
I don’t wanna let you go
I don’t wanna let you go
I don’t wanna let you go…
Fire Escape
I see you bite your bottom lip
Can you feel my kisses on your hips?
I almost hear you catch your breath
My ghost is whispering in your head
‘no… you’re not home…’
I’m on a fire escape
Where you said to wait
And I did, I did
I heard the cold wind say
‘you’re a fool to stay’
but I did, I did
no…you’re not my home
no matter how my heart tries
I’m not too blind to realize
That when I’m free from the grip of this life
You wont be there by my side
No…you’re not my home
I’m on a fire escape
Where you said to wait
And I did, I did
I heard the cold wind say
‘you’re a fool to stay’
but I did, I did
no…you’re not my home
every word I wanted to sing
got replaced with a wedding ring
Man-Made Machines
I’ve got my heart set on the way
This world—it shines shimmers and pays
If I’m just a soul stuck in a cage
I sure as hell like the estate
This aint no heart that you could redeem
I’m just a criminal fleeing the scene
My heart is cold and locked in the sea
I’m hoping God can throw my the key
And we line up…we line up in America
We line up…line up in America
To summon man-made machines
To silence the screams
Of the children in our dreams
Entire souls out on the line
A cigarette is burning some time
If ‘i am lost, and I am no guide’
Like Eddie said, ‘I’m by you’re side’…
so we line up…we line up in America
We line up…line up in America
To summon man-made machines
To silence the screams
Of the children in our dreams
And we watch as God-fearing men
Open the gates
Just to close them in our face
Now You’re Free
The girl said forever,
But she still may never be sold on the heart of this place
Sweet was her mother and kind was her brother
But neither would meet face to face
Don’t give up now
Don’t’ give up now cos’ we’re already
Don’t give up now
Don’t give up now
We’re just facing our fears…
Sing til you mean it
And love til you feel it
Cos’ I still believe in your heart
Don’t let the waves push and pull you away
Now you’re free and it sets you apart
Now you’re free and it sets you apart
With anxious devotion and hearts set in motion
We won’t have to go this alone
I need to you feel it
Send kisses to seal
And walk with me all the way home
Don’t give up now
Don’t give up now cos’ we’re already here…
Sing til you mean it
And love til you feel it
Cos’ I still believe in your heart
Don’t let the waves push and pull you away
Now you’re free and it sets you apart
Now you’re free and it sets you apart
it’s too late to come back home
and you’re always on your own
Sing til you mean it
And love til you feel it
Cos’ I still believe in your heart
Don’t let the waves push and pull you away
Now you’re free and it sets you apart
Now you’re free and it sets you apart
Element
I’ve been waiting…
wish I was watching you…
in the daylight—a perfect view
this is always a favorite of mine
I don’t wanna go,
cus’ it means I’d have to throw
this Element of mine…aside
what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one?
the truth, I know, is this:
I don’t wanna miss you more…
than I already do…
I’ve been screaming my lungs out…
cus’ I’m wishing you were here with me now,
I’m impatient…I apologize…a million times…
cus’ I’m human, and I’m selfish
got the feeling I should deal with this
but I’m hiding
and no one knows…
what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one?
the truth, I know, is this:
I don’t wanna miss you more…
than I already do…
and in sunrise, I find a new relation
and moonlight creeping…sounds of you tonight
and you’ll find that I still need to know…
that you fight using memory
what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one?
the truth, of course, is this:
I don’t wanna miss you more…
what if I don’t wanna be the lonely one?
the truth, of course, is this:
I don’t wanna miss you more…
than I already do…
than I already do…
Ghost
I’m giving up my ghost today
I wonder why it ends this way
Everything I give, you take
You’re on your way
I don’t wanna die alone
Kiss my lips, hold me close
Head to head we’ll sink the boat
Let’s try it tow to tow
I’ve been on my knees again
Wishing I could just begin
To try and let and the ghost back in
To show we’re more than bones and skin
You read my hand blind, I fold
I guess these are the seeds I’ve sown
It doesn’t matter what you owe
You’ll pay the toll
I’ve been on my knees again
Wishing I could just begin
To try and let and the ghost back in
To show we’re more than bones and skin
I’ve been searching far and wide
Looking for the truth you hide…
I’ve been on my knees again
Wishing I could just begin
To try and let and the ghost back in
To show we’re more than bones and skin
More than bones and skin
A Cycle
Baby would you love it if I could recover it–
The tired, disfigured, desired sentiment…
I know that I don’t wanna cycle through
In and out of all these holes
Through the cracks of all these walls
Baby would you love it if I could be sitting here
With you
I know all the reasons that I’ve been believing in you
I know that I don’t wanna cycle through
In and out of all these holes
Through the cracks of all these walls
I know…I know you would
Wanna wait
After all, you should
All these times you’ve believed
It was all gonna be in line…line…line…
Baby would you love it if I could be sitting here
With you
I know all the reasons that I’ve been believing in you
I know that I don’t wanna cycle through
In and out of all these holes
Through the cracks of all these walls
Tonight
Where am I headed?
Got my back against the wall
Can’t move on, can’t move forward
When I’m up against it all
For you, I know
I must let you go
Everybody waits in line
For you
Tonight
I feel like giving up this right
Oh this right
Tonight
I don’t feel like filling up the ocean—the openness in you
I’ve got my ideas
And they’re turning circles in a song
Cover my eyes, keep my ears closed
But you’re been singing all along
But you don’t know
I can let you go
Tonight
I feel like giving up this right
Oh this right
Tonight
I don’t feel like filling up the ocean—the openness in you
These reasons, these reasons they’re calling
I don’t wanna make this mistake
These demons, these demons they’re falling, they’re falling
Tonight
Tonight
I feel like giving up this right
Oh this right
Tonight
I don’t feel like filling up the ocean—the openness in you
Can’t Change My Mind
One more day left of summer
We’re still chasing the numbers
We’re not getting any younger
Why?
You came forward on the shoulders
Of giant waves pulled from corners
Of oceans—violent and tortured
Why…those eyes?
Don’t you know, don’t you know
I can’t change my mind
Don’t you know, don’t you know
I can’t change my mind
This time
When I met you
I was sold
I was sold on you the first time
I won’t leave you cold or alone
I won’t let you down this time
No I won’t let you drown this time
One more day, one more night
We can’t pay that full price
For all our sins
And if you meet God in that next life we’ve got
Man I hope he kisses you then
I hope he kisses you then…
Silence breaks on the shoreline
And I can’t hear that which God finds
Beautiful in the high rising tide…
Don’t you know, don’t you know
I can’t change my mind
Don’t you know, don’t you know
I can’t change my mind
This time
When I met you
I was sold
I was sold on you the first time
I won’t leave you cold or alone
I won’t let you down this time
No I won’t let you drown this time
Grow Old With You
My hands at your sides
Your hands wrapped closely around a hope for you and I
That’s one more reason why I can’t let you go
My heart was broke before
Your heart came boldly through the door
In through the storm
And for that I’ll give you my life and love restored
So hold me while we’re here, girl
Cos’ we may not be next year
But how lovely to grow old with you…
Grow old with you.
I’ve made up my mind
Ain’t no way I could ever deny
That you love me and in time
I may be gone, but I’ll never leave your side
So hold me while we’re here, girl
Cos’ we may not be next year
But how lovely to grow old with you…
Grow old with you
Grow old with you
Grow old with you
Grow old with you
