Golden locks and a scar covered heart
I tried to save the girl that I loved once before
So why do I feel the pain she induces on my mind?
I guess I'm just a sucker for an innocent girl's lies
Why do I break my back just to help out you?
I guess I knew I thought I had to
And why do I break my back just to play your games?
It's over now because you'll never change
Fogged out memories of a girl that changed my life
The things we shared before, I would go back in time
So why must the girl I loved be so stone cold?
Same old conversation, damn it's getting old
Why do I break my back just to help out you?
I guess I knew I thought I had to
And why do I break my back just to play your games?
It's over now because you'll never change
You'll never change
Why do I break my back just to help out you?
I guess I knew I thought I had to
And why do I break my back just to play your games?
It's over now because you'll never change
And I'll always break my back just to help out you
I guess I know that I have to
And I'll always break my back just to play your games
It's over now, but I wish we never changed
(Hold on) Why did we change?
(On & On & On...) Why did you change?

The leaves fall
I miss the summer stars
and the midnight trains and all those games and when we'd stay out after dark
And I know, I know I'm getting older
But the city lights and the late night drives will always make me feel at home again
This time I'm here to stay
In the pitch black nights we'd walk the streets and we'd always find our way
Maybe if we hold on to our dreams
We could take the world upon our hands and the good times would never cease
To me
And I could never live my life without those days
And those nights we made our own
And I know that this is how it goes
And those empty streets that held our feet could repair our broken bones
The summer calls
With our stories told
We're never getting old
Yet we act so bold
Don't take it away from me
Don't wake me from this dream
This isn't what it seems
I won't let you get the best of me
And I could never live my life without those days
And those nights we made our own
And I know that this is how it goes
And those empty streets that held our feet could repair our broken bones
We've got time and it's everything to me
The summer calls
With our stories told
We're never getting old
Yet we act so bold
Don't take it away from me
Don't wake me from this dream
This isn't what it seems
I won't let you get the best of me

In The End
03:50
|

So show me rest in peace
Already in my grave
Take all the blood we'll bleed
And watch it rain down through your memory
Now let it flow
All we do is give and take
And now no one knows
There's no words left to say
And now I watch you fade away
And on I go
And now all that's left is just a memory
And I wish we had the chance to make a change
But in the end we were just digging our own graves
But the difference is
I'm here to stay
You showed me family
Then you turned around and made me wanna leave
Why waste my time?
Take everyone's misery
All the sins you've made will have to pay
You'll learn someday
And now all that's left is just a memory
And I wish we had the chance to make a change
But in the end we were just digging our own graves
But the difference is
I'm here to stay

Tonight (I Will Sail)
04:43
|
|||
|
I feel I've been here before but the place is unknown
My heart wants to stay but my mind wants to go
So now I stand here, lonesome along the shore
I gave you everything I had but you just cried for more
And I will go against the open ocean sail tonight
And I will break against the pouring rain again tonight
And I will find a place, I'll find a home
Find a place to call my own tonight
I will sail against the open ocean, leave tonight
And on we go
So now we're drowning in the water and trying to escape
I offered my hand but you just pulled away
yeah you pulled away
And now I'm left here just to think about
To dread on what we talked about but never got to say
I'm sending out and SOS, a message in a bottle in hopes I'll be saved
And I will go against the open ocean sail tonight
And I will break against the pouring rain again tonight
And I will find a place, I'll find a home
Find a place to call my own tonight
I will sail against the open ocean, leave tonight
And on we go

Your hands trembling against the wooden pieces that you seek
You lay your eyes upon the merchandise you pray you'll keep
Every broken bone and memory you lay inside your head for tomorrow
While you realize this ship's sinking, you repair all the planks
And you hold them high above your head, making no mistakes
Then suddenly a roaring boom arises from the east
And your heart sinks low inside your stomach waiting for the beast
You turn around and find a woman standing on the shore
She had no face, her hair a mess, waiting to be ignored
She looks you in the eyes with her sour, pity grin then screams
What if you were me? Would you like to see?
Wait, wait for me
It hurts my head I hear her screams
Wait, wait for me please
Later on that night laying in bed I couldn't sleep
Thoughts of lonely faces. that girl was in my dreams
I couldn't help but think that she really needed me
So I turned my sails around and headed back for that old beach
As I approached the sandy shores twas her I did not see
My fist clenched tight against my side
Where could this girl be?
Then I thought that maybe I wasted all my time
I'm looking for the treasure
The one that will be mine
So I hopped back on my ship and headed west against the waves
I breathed a great big sigh as the water hit my face
I heard a woman cry out as my ship it sailed away
It was the girl I saw before upon that sandy shore
Wait, wait for me
It hurts my head I hear her screams
Wait, wait for me please
Although my ship has been repaired, I can barely seem to stand
As I walk upon the shore and fall face first in the sand
I looked her in the eyes as she was looking back at me
But I stopped and held my breathe and realized this was all a dream
Wait, wait for me
It hurts my head I hear her screams
Wait, wait for me please

Another Day

Perfect smile heals a heart
Perfect love is just a start
The ghost inside my broken soul
Heals a past and no one knows
So I'll just keep on crawling up so that I have enough to say
Take me by the hand and feel no pain
I'm here for you no matter the cause
No matter the pain we bring
And don't you, don't you worry about our future and what it means to me
You changed my point of view and made this life a life worth living
Another goddamn day
People hear, people see
No on has the courtesy
Look around, what do you see?
Broken dreams and family
But when I'm with you the world just seems a happier place to me
Take me by the hand and feel no pain
I'm here for you no matter the cause
No matter the pain we bring
And don't you, don't you worry about our future and what it means to me
You changed my point of view and made this life a life worth living
Another goddamn day
You give the warmness inside my heart
So take it slow
And why don't you just take me by the hand?
Take me by the hand and feel no pain
I'm here for you no matter the cause
No matter the pain we bring
And don't you, don't you worry about our future and what it means to me
You changed my point of view and made this life a life worth living
Another goddamn day

I walked a million miles just to find my home
I saw a million faces
They told me where to go
I left it all behind to search for brighter days
And cherish all the things I'll find along the way
I walked a million miles just to find my home
I saw a million face
They told me where to go
But times will change and everyone around me will too
I'll say my last goodbyes
I must be going soon
I will be wandering
Questioning all the things that I do not know
I will be wandering
Questioning, all of these places are far from home
I'll throw my bags up on my back and I'll hit the road again.
But this is goodbye (I'm never coming back)
Yeah!
I walked million miles on this empty road
Despite all of the faces, I'll never find my home

The Lost Boy
03:48
|
|||
|
I left my home still as a child
I walked a thousand sorry miles
To wait for my father, to gather up his tools
He said my boy you've got to run
Don't wait for me, don't wait for mum
We'll come get you, when it's safe for us to move
So I waited many years,
Held back the pain behind my tears
For my father, to come find me like he said
And in that time I was alone,
So many years without my home
I made brothers of a different kind instead
And in the time I didn't know,
Just how hard the wind could blow
Towards disaster, and the things that I would see
I never found my father,
I never found my mother
Even would I know in my lifetime I will be
A hero into the masses,
To those born without chances
There's a freedom that everyone deserves
I know there's greed and there's corruption
I've seen death and mass destruction
But I'm telling you, and I hope that I'm heard
And I will not be commanded,
And I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on,
Without the help of my soul
And I will not be commanded,
And I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on,
without the help of my soul
And I will not be commanded,
And I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on,
without the help of my soul
I will not be commanded,
I will not be controlled
And I will not let my future go on,
Without the help of my soul

Us Against The World
06:18
|

I'm sorry you're feeling this way
You're burying yourself deeper and deeper everyday
And I know that you're insecure
But that's okay 'cause I am too
Don't listen to a word that they say
I know that I'm leaving but I'll return someday
And I know that you're scared to death
But that's okay 'cause I am too
And now everything falls apart
And I think to myself once again
Why must everything come to an end?
And I know that things haven't seemed right
We were hopeless by the end of the night you found your sheets thrown on the floor
You bled through me then begged some more
For the future just remember what I said
It's just us against the world again
Help me, I can't even speak
I can't stand another day of hearing your wither and weep.
And I know that I'm insecure
But that's okay 'cause so are you
And now everything falls apart
And I think to myself once again
Why must everything come to an end?
And I know that things haven't seemed right
We were hopeless by the end of the night you found your sheets thrown on the floor
You bled through me then begged some more
For the future just remember what I said
It's just us against the world again
And now everything falls apart
And I think to myself once again
Why must everything come to an end?
And I know that things haven't seemed right
We were hopeless by the end of the night you found your sheets thrown on the floor
You bled through me then begged some more
For the future just remember what I said
It's just us against the world again

Brother

Hell's gates open and you walk straight through the door
You fell into a hole and it's taking control of your life
I was always there for you
There was never a time that I would back away
I would always stay
Brother, oh brother
Will you stand by my side?
Will you make the right decisions?
Brother, oh brother
Will you stand by my side?
Will you make the right decisions?
It drove me crazy the way you shut me out
Hidden within the hollow shell, I could hear you scream and shout
You cried help me
With the blood staining the floor
But no one was there to save your life
I wish I had done more
Brother, oh brother
Will you stand by my side?
Will you make the right decisions?
Brother, oh brother
Will you stand by my side?
Will you make the right decisions?
Why did you walk away from me?
Brother, oh brother
Will you stand by my side?
Will you make the right decisions?
Brother, oh brother
Will you stand by my side?
Will you make the right decisions?
Brother, oh brother
Will you stand by my side?
Will you make the right decisions?
