Heartbeat Away ---------------- By the time you turn around you've missed it The speed of light's too slow while you're in it There's no time to go back now So what are we gonna do We're just a heartbeat away [chorus] We've got to hold on today We're just a heartbeat away Can't let this moment pass Might not get another day 'Cause it's just a heartbeat away Sometimes life feels so hard for a dreamer Keep finding the grass ain't always greener There's no time to go back now So what are we gonna do We're just a heartbeat away [chorus] Are we at the start or are we at the end of all this Will there be sunshine and rainbows and eloquence Or rain clouds and turbulence Whatever comes our way There's no time to go back now So what are we gonna do So what are we gonna do So what are we gonna do We're just a heartbeat away [chorus] La la la la la la la la la (Can't live in yesterday) (Just a heartbeat away)

Prophets 04:52
Prophets ------------------------- Let's see what's in the cards or the crystal ball As we paid the fortune teller her due We thought we saw where we were going for a lifetime We got health and riches we never knew Then Maddie got sick she got tubes and wires Her lips a sad shade of blue Just like our conversations only fifteen minutes That's the best that she can do Didn't see it coming What did we miss Oh nobody told us it would be like this Didn't see it coming What did we miss Oh nobody told us it would be like this All week we're going through the motions feeling bad For the shit that we cannot fix Saturday ice cream Sunday hellfire now The sweet guilt ain't just for kicks I start to feel better with the polititian's Indiscretion at a trashy motel now There's a live stream message from a new age prophet Hey Go to hell Didn't see it coming What did we miss Oh nobody told us it would be like this Didn't see it coming What did we miss Oh nobody told us it would be like this One A.M. lonely I'm disgraced in my bed While I was thinking we could never meet But you stalked me out on my phone It feels creepy but blissfully sweet The more I live the less I'm certain that things Can just happen without a doubt I know you're anxious and I'm really anxious too Will you be there before we phase (flame) out? Didn't see it coming What did we miss Oh nobody told us it would be like this Didn't see it coming What did we miss Oh nobody told us it would be like this Silence is bliss Nobody told us it would be like this Silence is bliss Nobody told us it would be like this

Heroes Ground ---------------------------- You can take the fire You can take the cold You can win the battles Watch the enemy fold You can bring the fight You can bring it down Walking tall but humble On the heroes ground Walking on the ground of heroes Walking on the ground of heroes You might get there weakened But you'll come out strong One of the few left standing Turn the right from wrong You can bring the fight You can bring it down Walkin' tall but humble On the heroes ground Walking on the ground of heroes Walking on the ground of heroes Overcome and running scared is not the way You're going to be Overcome and running scared is not the way You're going to be Walking on the ground of heroes Walking on the ground of heroes Walking on the ground of heroes

For All Time 03:11
For All Time ------------------- I know this war's so hard to win Time goes down like the Romans did Giving up Is that what you're doin'? Like the bird who stings the bees Don't even know what that means 'Fore you go I want you to hear this [chorus] From the deepest to the shallows All the blue green and the yellows I'll hang on with you 'Till the end of the line From your dark rooms to (your) the windows From the bright light to the shadows Here's to you For all time Firefly in a spider web Blinking heartbeats not quite dead Don't give up Fly to the treetops You know those ancient evergreens Resistant to a freeze Warming up I wanna sing this [chorus]

Really Need a Friend -------------------------- In these darkest moments I don't have any clue Are these fears for real Or dreamed out of the blue I can lean on myself Like I have for so long I forgot how to reach out And just talk to someone Does anyone care About the pain still inside In my vault and my fortress Covers up when I cried I can lean on myself Like I have for so long I forgot how to reach out And just tell someone [chorus] So can you listen 'Cause I just need a friend Will you be here Right through the end Can you listen And we'll talk it all through In these times I really need a friend (Really need a friend) [verse 2] I searched for some solace In habitual waste Never quite getting there In the first place I can lean on myself Like I have for so long I forgot how to reach out And just tell someone So can you listen 'Cause I just need a friend Will you be here Right through the end Can you listen And we'll talk it all through In these times I really need a friend (Really need a friend) In these times I really need a friend [chorus]
6.
Wrong Turn Before The End ---------------------------- Not giving up on this Some signs are the hardest thing to miss [chorus] Let's take the Wrong turn before the end Wrong turn before the end We've been on the roughest road Pain makes the heart grow old [chorus] Is it too late It's not too late Not giving up on this Some signs are the hardest thing to miss [chorus] [outro] [chorus/end]

Bad Weather 03:36
Bad Weather --------------- Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Theres a flood in your eyes When the worst times are here It'll come down in torrents With the worst kind of fear When everything you know Gets lost in the whirlwind Can you go back Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh There's a cold front inside As you're swept off your feet Is it too late for promises When they turn off the heat We can climb to the top Of some hopeful feelings That everything's ok That there'll be a way That the sun'll shine today Oh [chorus] Storms will run from rainbows Bad weather go away Storms will run from rainbows Bad weather go away Bad weather go away Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh We can climb to the top Of some hopeful feelings That everything's ok That there'll be a way That the sun'll shine today Oh [chorus] Storms will run from rainbows Bad weather go away Storms will run from rainbows Bad weather go away Bad weather go away Bad weather go away

Brighter Days -------------------------------- It's been so long Since you stopped by And I miss your company Sending messages across the wires In virtual reality Now we'll meet out here On the empty street Under a nervous city light Promise me you'll raise a glass When the storm has passed And when we're doin' all right Come on in It's great to see you again There'll be brighter days a comin' Come on in... You might venture out With a new disguise And a fear of the ghost Nothing makes you fear more Than for the ones you love the most Hope you'll be right here Wherever you are And I promise to be here too Promise me you'll raise a glass When the storm has passed And the sky will break on through Our worlds seem slightly out of phase And last year feels like the good old days Come on in It's great to see you again There'll be brighter days a comin' Come on in... There'll be brighter days a comin' Come on in...

Earthquake 05:35
Earthquake --------------------------------------- Michigan white birch buzzing with mosquitoes Young and nowhere with endless time Played with the hawks and the owls Candy wintergreen and pine But in the house all your grown up problems Mom and dad's epic wars declared I took all your richochets My ear drums healed but the memories they can't be repaired what went wrong How did we get here Better late than never I still can't remember Where the fault lines were drawn Waiting for the earthquake Mother withdrew to her distant world A princess waiting to come to fruition My first place emblems bending the shelf They're worthless for your recognition The things I did right just ended up wrong One day I grew taller I grew less afraid In that one epic clash your shields faltered And you just crumbled without the brigade what went wrong How did we get here Better late than never I still can't remember Where the fault lines were drawn Waiting for the earthquake Oh the years they led to a failing heart Buzzing machines keeping you alive You awoke with an tremor in your voice The fault isn't clear this time what went wrong How did we get here Better late than never I still can't remember Where the fault lines were drawn Waiting for the earthquake In the aftermath What's left to say I love you

The Gravity 03:38
The Gravity ------------------------ Twenty two and didn't give a damn I was Motown her like Amsterdam We got high to the night sky Then came down We moved apart as far as galaxies We came together in fantasies But I wondered if she still ran Into me [chorus] (You) Make me weightless Drinking up the sun Until my days are done Chase the years with laughter and levity To fight the gravity I know time is a wicked disease At her bed hands locked in a squeeze Still beautiful her fingers Cold as space Her heart just stopped for a slow dance Soul and flesh battled in a crash Her eyes lifted then she Woke up singing this [chorus] Now it's sinking in [bridge] Life is a tide Rolling in and out Roll with me Roll with me Now [chorus]
11.
Dance in the Park ------------------------- Your brown hair on that pillow A top that still smells like pink Your old toothbrush Left sitting by the sink Not much to smile about Cold whiskey this morning It could knock me down But that's not the place that I want to go In this solitary bungalow Just in case you show But I don't know [chorus] 'Cause sometimes it just gets so lonely here I could cry out like a kid in the dark Sometimes it just gets so lonely here I want to go out and dance in the park I'll miss you tomorrow More than I miss you today Even miss the time We fought in your beat-up Chevrolet I could run from fear Wild turkey in the morning I could disappear But that's not the way that I want to go In this solitary bungalow Didn't think you'd show How did you know [chorus] Sometimes it just gets so lonely here I could cry out like a kid in the dark Sometimes it just gets so lonely here Let's go out and just dance in the park Can you hold me and dance in the park Can I hold you and dance in the park

Faded Doors 05:42
Faded Doors ---------------------- The dance of '71 It's happening today Realizing the minutes are years You don't know what to say But you bet your life I got an hour or two To hear the story Like it's all brand new You bet your life That I still love you And I remember you Do you remember me too With a mischevous smile You ripped out the f word That's not at all like you Like I've ever heard But you bet your life I'll laugh along with you Rewind and repeat We'll make it all brand new And you'll ask me again Did I fix your shoe You know the ones in blue Lots of dancing to do When time's the consequence We need our best defense Photographs and remember whens Hidden right behind your faded doors I won't lose the key These memories are all yours The spring breeze blows in A lilac rainshower You're suddenly a time traveling Princess superpower But you bet your life That we'll go back in time Sing an old cheesy song And try it make it all rhyme You bet your life That I still love you And I remember you I remember you Do you remember me too When time's the consequence We need our best best defense Photographs and remember whens Hidden right behind your faded doors When time's the consequence We need our best best defense Photographs and remember whens Hidden right behind your faded doors I won't lose the key These memories are all yours All yours All yours

Reminiscence 03:45
Reminiscence -------------------- Vivid and bright Like a million stars The best of times We never knew Reminiscence In nova fluorescence Like everything once was Can you come home Where are we Can you see me I called out It's silent It's silent In the silence You smiled I come back To this magical place Sometimes When I lose all control I need reminiscence Sweet effervescence I can almost taste this Can you come home Where are we Can you see me I called out It's silent It's silent In the silence You smiled
