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
-------------------------
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
-------------------
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]

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]

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

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
------------------------
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]

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
----------------------
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
--------------------
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
