A Thousand Lies

 

I told you everything was fine under the party lights

You talked about your perfect life, I smiled to be polite

I must have said a thousand times it's good to see you here tonight

 

We must have told a thousand lies

To keep our feelings safe inside

But as we danced around the truth

It felt so good to be with you

 

While you pretended to forget I pretended not to care

Why would we talk about it now, we never talked about it then

I must have said a thousand times it's good to see you here tonight

 

We must have told a thousand lies

To keep our feelings safe inside

But as we danced around the truth

It felt so good to be with you

Even if for only just a while

 

Hard to say how long it's been

But this sure was a nice surprise

Maybe it's just wishful thinking

Maybe I read too much between the lines

 

We must have told a thousand lies

To keep our feelings safe inside

But as we danced around the truth

It felt so good to be with you

We must have told a thousand lies

To keep our feelings safe inside

But as we danced around the truth

It felt so good to be with you 

 

 

All Four Seasons

 

 Running through the fallen leaves

 Running through the autumn leaves

 Till winter catches up with me

 

 She gets a little cold sometimes

 Wants to run away and hide

 Pushing everyone aside

 But she's gonna be alright

 

 She’s all four seasons

 She’ll change the rules

 She’ll change the mood

 And for no good reason

 She’s all four seasons

 

 She’s definitely delicate

 Be careful just how close you get

 But trust me now; she's worth the time

 She’s beautiful when she shines

 

 She’s all four seasons

 She’ll change the rules

 She’ll change the mood

 And for no good reason

 She’s all four seasons

 

 Everywhere I go, I should carry an umbrella just in case

 But I do like to catch the summer rain when it's falling out of place

 And I wouldn't want it; I wouldn't want it any other way

 

 She’s all four seasons

 She’ll change the rules

 She’ll change the mood

 And for no good reason

 She’s all four seasons

 

 She’s a warm summer day when the world should be freezing

 But you'll never know unless you let the breeze in

 She wont be defined by the weather that she's in

 She’s all four seasons

 She’s all four seasons

 She’s all four seasons

 She’s all four seasons

 

 Running through the fallen leaves

 Running through the autumn leaves

 Till winter catches up with me

 

 

This Perfect Day

 

I don't want to fall asleep

I don't want this night to end

I want to lay and watch the moonlight

The way it settles softly on your skin

 

I want to take my time

Breathe when you breathe

I want to memorize your face

While every inch of you looks so at peace

 

I don't want to say goodnight

Don’t want to let my eyes fall shut

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I don't ever want to wake up

 

Everything is balancing

I don't want anything to change

I don't want to think about

How I would feel it this all went away

 

I don't want to say goodnight

Don’t want to let my eyes fall shut

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I don't ever want to wake up

 

I don't want to say goodnight

Don’t want to let my eyes fall shut

I don't want to fall asleep

'Cause I don't ever want to wake up

 

I just want to stay

I just want to stay like this

I just want to take

Ever other day like this

 

This perfect day, this perfect day, this perfect day

This perfect day, this perfect day, this perfect day

Don't let it fade, this perfect day, this perfect day

 

 

Too Late For Heroes

 

 I feel the weight of the world like it's bearing down

 And I hardly sleep 'cause there's so much to worry about

 With everyone looking for something to pin their hopes on

 Who’s gonna know when to give me the signal to run

 

 And where do I run to

 And what should I run from

 When everything, everything's crazy

 

 Who’s gonna save me

 Who’s gonna save me

 When it's too late for heroes

 And the world has gone crazy

 Who’s gonna save me

 When it's too late for heroes

 

 If someone was going to rise up and lead us all out

 They should have already come to the rescue by now

 

 But what will it come to

 With nowhere to run to

 Just how dark can a day be

 

 And who's gonna save me

 Who’s gonna save me

 When it's too late for heroes

 And the world has gone crazy

 Who’s gonna save me

 When it's too late for heroes

 

 Everyone’s running in circles with nowhere to go

 And there's no one to call 'cause the heroes have already flown

 The trouble is up to my neck and I'm already on my toes

 When it's too late

 When it's too late

 When it's too late

 

 Who’s gonna save me

 Who’s gonna save me

 When it's too late for heroes

 And the world has gone crazy

 Who’s gonna save me

 When it's too late for heroes 

 

 

We Could Get Lost

 

Let's not take another cab

There's a welcome world outside

Let me walk with you we'll take our time

Make a left or make a right

 

Let the crowd just push on past

We don't have to go that fast

We can disregard every sign

Don’t care what we leave behind

 

We could get lost in this city

We could forget how to make our way home

We could fall hard in this city

We could get lost

We could get lost

 

They might wonder where we are

We might lose sight of the sun

When it gets a little dark out there

Just don't let go of my hand

 

We could get lost in this city

We could forget how to make our way home

We could fall hard in this city

We could get lost

We could get lost

 

Lost, lost when the light disappears from your face

Lost, lost like we're falling all over this place

 

We could get lost in this city

We could forget how to make our way home

We could fall hard in this city

We could get lost

We could get lost

We could get lost

 

 

No Kind of Love

 

I could go down to the water and wash away the dust

Try to be different, try to be what you want

But like these broken flowers dying in the sun

That's no kind of love

 

I could lead you to the madness  to see if it takes

Sharpen up your edges just to keep you safe

Spending the moonlight hours always on the run

That’s no kind of love

That’s no kind of love

 

So what if we don't fit, will it leave a scar

If we keep our distance till it all comes apart

Do we scatter the broken pieces with the pigeons and the crumbs

That's no kind of love

That's no kind of love

That's no kind of love

 

 

Little Things

 

Weathered hands, weathered soul

Stories that were never told

Little things he never can take back

 

No polite wish for luck

He says it’s because

You can never tell which way luck will fall

 

No sign, no miracles

Just old debts, old scars

Little things he never can take back

Little things you never can take back

 

 

The Mystery of You

 

 When I'm dead and I'm gone

 I hope that I'm going to heaven

 Not to be walking around with Jesus

 I can take that or leave it

 But I've got one thing

 I need him to shine his light on

 

 From the beginning of time

 I mean the first time I saw you

 I was mumbling, fumbling, falling

 Baby my heart went all in

 No explanation

 In no sight of rhythm or rhyme

 

 As if life can't be trouble enough without this puzzle of love

 

 I'm looking for reasons

 I'm searching for footprints

 Looking for answers and evidence

 Asking all the questions

 Searching for clues

 Looking for answers to the mystery of you

 

 From the first word you said

 Well the first thing I heard was laughing

 The minute you turned to me smiling

 Baby that's when I dived in

 Infatuated

 Spinning in the curl of your dark hair

 

 Oh baby I don't know how I'm gonna figure you out

 

 I'm looking for reasons

 I'm dusting for fingerprints

 Looking for fragments of evidence

 Asking all the questions

 Searching for clues

 Looking for answers to the mystery of you

 

 Oh, answers to the mystery

 Hey, look at what you've done to me baby

 

 I'm looking for reasons

 I'm searching for footprints

 Looking for answers and evidence

 Asking all the questions

 Searching for clues

 Looking for answers to the mystery of you

 

 I'm looking for reasons

 I'm dusting for fingerprints

 Looking for whispers of evidence

 Asking all the questions

 Searching for clues

 Looking for answers to the mystery of you

 Answers to the mystery

 

 

Kissed it all Away

 

 Everything’s dark and still

 Everything’s dark and still in here

 Who’s going to be first to fall

 There’s so much to be sorry for

 

 I miss the sunshine

 I kissed it all away

 I miss the mornings

 The ones that last all day

 I miss the smile upon your face

 I kissed it all away

 

 Everything gets so cold

 Everything gets so cold in here

 I could have done so much more

 There’s so much to be sorry for

 

 I miss the sunshine

 I kissed it all away

 I miss the mornings

 The ones that last all day

 I miss the smile upon your face

 I kissed it all away

 

 Ah ah,  ah ah,  ah ah

 Ah ah,  ah ah,  ah ah

 

 I miss the sunshine

 I kissed it all away

 I miss the mornings

 The ones that last all day

 I miss the smile upon your face

 The familiar way you taste

 I wish I had the words to make you stay

 I kissed it all away

 

 Ah ah,  ah ah,  ah ah

 I kissed it all away

 Ah ah,  ah ah,  ah ah

 I kissed it all away

 

 

She'll Change Your Mind

 

 There’s a few things you can guess

 Just by the colour and the cut of her dress

 But there's stillness in her eyes

 To hide the things that she won’t want you to expect

 

 From what seems innocent enough

 Why wouldn't you let down your guard

 

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll change the way you want your good times

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll change your mind

 She wears her devil on the inside

 

 When you're in deeper than you thought

 It ever possible for you to fall

 Will you bend before you break

 Will you be game to take a little more

 

 The only truth you'll ever see

 Is in the shadow that she leaves

 

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll change the way you want your good times

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll change your mind

 She wears her devil on the inside

 

She’ll disregard you with a casual lie

Before she leaves you with a casual goodbye

She’ll change every thing in time

 

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll cross wherever there's a line

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ not the girl you hoped to find

 She’ll change your mind

 She’ll change your mind

 She wears her devil on the inside

 She wears her devil on the inside

 She wears her devil on the inside

 

 

This is Where it Starts

 

Such a pretty name

But she'll swear it's wasted on her

She’s got such pretty eyes

But every time she smiles you can see it hurts

She won’t believe in love

Says she's had enough

Of broken homes and broken hearts

 

Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking

'Cause this is where it starts

 

He’s over six feet tall

But you'd swear he's so much smaller than that

He wears his hair too long

So even he don't know where he's going to or coming from

Cause when you fall so hard

When you feel so much

You’ve got to close down your open heart

 

Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking

'Cause this is where it starts

 

This is where it starts, though they never meet

No solitary moment on the corner of the street

They don't stop, they don't stay

Don’t even notice

 

I know she won't say

Where she lost her faith, but I knows it's gone

I wonder if he dreams

About all the things, I know that he wanted

She’s still ready for a fight

He’s still buttoned up too tight

But one day they will find themselves

Standing in the light

 

Keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking

Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking

Just keep walking, just keep walking, just keep walking

'Cause this is where it starts

'Cause this is where it starts

'Cause this is where it starts

'Cause this is where it starts

 

 

Far Enough Away

 

 Some times I wish I could turn down the sound

 Some days for me, the city gets too loud

 

 I need to find clarity

 I need to find just one dream

 It's gonna take more than a good night sleep

 

 To carry me far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 

 You’ve got to admit it burns a little bright here

 Where do I fit, 'cause it doesn't feel right here

 

 I need a means to escape

 I should go and stand out in the rain

 Try to hitch a ride on a hurricane

 

 To carry me far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 

 I could dive into the river deep

 And just let the water take me

 Feel the cold rush set me free

 As the river runs to carry me

 

 Far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 To carry me far enough away

 

 

If I Didn't Love You

 

I would get up, I would go out

I wouldn't have to feel so empty now

If I didn't love you

 

The distance wouldn't get to me

I wouldn't lose another second sleep

If I didn't love you

 

If I didn't love you

I'd be happy enough

Cause I wouldn't know I could

Miss anybody this much

 

I wouldn't question why I left

I wouldn't mind the empty double bed

In this unfamiliar room

If I didn't love you

If I didn't love you
