One to Break
05:05

|

I’d love to tell you I hear something the first time
But you oughtta give me another go around
Measure twice and the first cut is right
I’m sorry we don’t always see eye to eye
That doesn’t mean the worst is come
I will call for you all in a little while
At least those who are mine
Hello. I volunteer
Can’t I be the one this time to break
We’ve both been waiting for good fortune to roll our way
But I’m so tired of giving in to sympathy
When there’s so much that we could just embrace
I’m happy we kept pushing for a little more
We can’t just leave it up to fate
It takes a strong resolution to realize
Something big is on its way
Change. So I could see light in this darkness
Before me. Below.
So I could say
Hello. I volunteer
Can’t I be the one this time to break

First Move
02:40

Holding on to things that I need not save
Not because I need them
I'm just so afraid to lose
Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move
Pondering what it takes to make this song
And if I should change one part
Could I ruin it all
Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move
Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move
And will I find that I've awaken
Or this whole time I've been mistaken
About you. About you.
About the other side of me
That so few people see
I tried to hide
But I can't love
Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move
Time keeps waiting for me to make the first move

Who Knew Forever
02:59
|
|
||
There’s a light that shines not far away
To a path I’ve known would set the stage
Bringing me ever closer to a dream I dreamed
Where I become the light the light that beamed
Where has the time gone I don’t know
Maybe I left it where I met the one who knows
Who knew forever was such a long time
There’s the one I love not far away
To get to her I spanned the seas
Dividing me from space to space
Where I became the water the water that takes shape
Where has the time gone I don’t know
Maybe I left it where I met the one who knows
Who knew forever was such a long time

Good Day
03:33

Today is a good day
When it starts out like this
When I wake up beside you
When we kiss our first kiss
And I could spend all day
Just holding you in my arms
I wanna be with you now, be with you then
Be with you tomorrow...
And have a good day again
So long to sadness
Hello to sunshine
I’ve been waiting for you
Feels like a lifetime
There’s no love like this
Can sound so cliche
But it’s like you were made
Just for me
Today is a good day
When it starts out like this
When I wake up beside you
When we kiss our first kiss
And I could spend all day
Just holding you in my arms
I wanna be with you now, be with you then
Be with you tomorrow...
And have a good day again
You are my first thought
When I open my eyes
Still can’t believe its you
Blows my mind
It’s no surprise
You were there all along
Waiting for our turn
Where we knew we belonged
And what used to be just for me
Is for you and I

Should I be so surprised
You would make me feel this way
Should I be so surprised
You would make me feel this way
I expected it
I neglected it
Now it all comes back to me
A mark that penetrates
Placed upon my skin
Plain and clear for all to see
And when it's over
Will you bring this soldier home
And take the world from off his shoulder
And make you all he's ever known
You are my War that I have fought so long for
You are my War that I have fought so hard for
Help me to identify
Anything that separates
Help me to identify
Anything that separates
I expected it
I neglected it
Now it all comes back to me
And when it's over
Will you bring this soldier home
And take the world from off his shoulder
And make you all he's ever known
You are my War that I have fought so long for
You are my War that I have fought so hard for
You are my War that I have fought so long for
You are my War that I have fought so hard for

Anthem
03:50
|
|
||
Dotting my eyes i's and crossing my t's
Has left me stranded
In the middle of the desert
Minding my p's and minding q's
Left me thirsty
In the middle of the ocean
But it will not, will not, no it will not always be like this.
But it will not, will not, no it will not always be like this.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line
And that's fine for your destination
But those of us who like to wander
What awaits us at the end of our journey
But it will not, will not, no it will not always be like this.
But it will not, will not, no it will not always be like this.
But it will not, will not, no it will not always be like this.

Dreaming
03:25
|
|
||
Waiting by this telephone
But no one is calling 'cuz everyone's over
Waiting for my loneliness to fade
Looking for places where I can hide
In a room full of people internally crying
Wake me from this dream that I'm dreaming
When I'm dreaming
Holding on with bated breath
Reality, when will you catch up to me
Catch up to me
Stuck in this moment that's hard to breathe
Waiting for a reason that I should leave
But nothing's convincing enough for me
To escape from this place where you led me be
A thousand thoughts racing through my mind at once
And I can't beat the traffic to go the distance
I need to wake before I'm lost and become the unseen

How Could I
04:30
|
|
||
Hold me now so I won't feel so insufficient to you dear
Least of all to myself for harboring all these dreams in my bed
For harboring all these dreams in my bed
Bring me pain so I will remember how to fight to save you
But most of all to save myself. To change and not to simply sleep through life
To change and not to simply sleep through life
Would I be everything that you would ever need
How could I refuse any of the hope you've placed in me
How could I
How could I
Show me love that brings me that hope for a tomorrow to come
And not some idle fancy of my mind. A vapor that has blown and passed my way
A vapor that has blown and passed my way
Would I be everything that you would ever need
How could I refuse any of the hope you've placed in me
How could I
How could I
