I was raised to appreciate a song by the merits of its soul
I was always taught to search out the truth of what lies behind the cool
but his songs are always so cool
and in a moment it all came falling free
like a bird with a broken wing
and sometimes we can take this all for granted
but sometimes we just sing
yeah, we just sing
just like we did the day you learned to fly
the day you learned to fly
you sang all your songs up and then you took flight
The day you learned to fly
The day you learned to fly
with all the crazy hate in the air lately
why can't we just live in romance
carried through time and space
with just love and peace
maybe we'll find the rhythm to dance
and we'll just dance
just like we did the day you learned to fly
the day you learned to fly
you sang all your songs up and then you took flight
the day you learned to fly
the day you learned to fly
the day you learned to fly
the day you learned to fly
(repeats chorus)

Oh Universe

Oh Universe, listen to me
I'm crumbling right over my feet
All I want is just a little bit of guidance
my eyes are wide but my ears are weak
All I hear is the same old sound
The sound of nothing at all
You left me here all alone
I followed you but I followed you a little too long
And right now my hopes are all tangled up
My love it kills as it fades out
This takes too long
Just want to move on
Down a road I think was pre-programed
In fact I'm staring right at the map
I think I might just stick around to view it
Said I might just stick around
Oh universe, it seems to me
that all good things contain disappearing ink
When all I want is just a little bit of patience
but my heart it tells my mouth when it's time to speak
and all i know is what I'm told
I guess you could say that i'm never ever really sure
but when I find you oh my sweet darling
I think i'll finally know where to rest my wary soul.
But right now my hopes are all tangled up
My love it kills as it fades out
This takes too long
Just want to move on
Down a road I think was pre-programed
In fact I'm staring right at the map
I think I might just stick around to view it
Said I might just stick around

Elizabeth

Oh there's a burden deep down in my soul
thought I could forget it until I got old
but just like the rain up on the hill
I remember it all
Oh in the back room of a house of wood
the house we built the best we could
there lies all the pain we feel
and I remember it all
Oh sweet Elizabeth
Oh sweet Elizabeth
Oh sweet Elizabeth
I'm sorry now
but i let you down
Oh tear down the walls of our house of memory
the wood is warped and rotten here anyway
just like the fall that consumed the kill
I remember it all
Oh sweet Elizabeth
Oh sweet Elizabeth
Oh sweet Elizabeth
I'm sorry now
but i let you down
I can't forget it this running and spinning
and I can't feel the ground
It's always the same we feed our pain
and all that is left is shame
shame...shame...and pain
Oh sweet Elizabeth
Oh sweet Elizabeth
Oh sweet Elizabeth
I'm sorry now
but i let you...
Oh sweet Elizabeth
Oh sweet Elizabeth
Oh sweet Elizabeth
I'm sorry now
but i let you down
I'm sorry now...
but I let you down

Shadows On The Wall
03:39

Don't let her in and you'll never be let down
What a life to live when you're living underground
If you're content then never mind it all
When your days are spent watching shadows on the wall
Ohh oh ah ohh
It's more than what you see
Ohh oh ah ohh
I wish you'd just believe me
Ohh oh ah ohhh
I just wish you'd call sometime
It's not just shadows on the wall
Have you ever seen the light that the sun brings
reflected in the morning snow it's melting everything
All the colors flood my eyes forming overwhelming signs
There's something else, something bigger than both of us resides
Oh oh ah ohh, ohh ohhh
It's more than what you see
Ohh oh ah ohh
I wish you'd just believe me
Ohh oh ah ohhh
I just wish you'd call sometime
It's not just shadows on the wall
sometime...
It's not just shadows on the wall

Whisper
03:46
|

I hear your whisper calling back to me
Some kind of secret, a simple melody
I feel your body touched by the warmth of the sun
Even with eyes closed, I know that you're the only one
I'll wait and be patient wish we could last forever
I know that you will be back around again
I taste the salt tangled in your breath
Just like a Pringles Brand Potato Chip
I see your soul in the color of the leaves
I watch you move in the breaking of the sea
I'll wait and be patient wish we could last forever
I know that you will be back
Floating in and out of an ever changing aura
I feel this won't be our last
I know that you will be back around again
around again
I hear you whisper
Calling back to me

It's 11:29 and I am all alone
I've got a damaged view from a perfect window
All my frames intact, but these eyes they are cracked
I'm seeing double and I don't know where you're at.
Ahh ahh ohh, ahh ahhh, ohh
These clouds hold so much rain like reservoirs built in brains
Mine is filled to the brim
And I pour this poison down and still my love is sound
But this world is sound asleep
Just dreaming of something or maybe nothing
It's gotta be something
These clouds hold so much rain like reservoirs built in brains
Mine is filled to the brim
I pour this poison down and still my love is sound
But this world is sound asleep
Just dreaming of something or nothing they wished on
but don't have the faith or the confidence in them
they're waiting for someone to take them away
from the hell which they're living in
But you have control, don't let anyone tell you
that forces are out there pushing and puling
Controlling your heart like a fine graphic art
Keep that needle out of my eye
But I poured down the poison
and It's slowly destroying
all this pain that's disintegrating
Ahh, ahhh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ohhh
ahh, ahh, ahhh
ahhh, ahh, ohhh
......
......
.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's 11:29 and I am all alone
I've got a damaged view from a perfect window
All my frames intact, but these eyes they are cracked
I'm seeing double and I don't know where you're at.
