The Main Attraction
04:48
|
|||
Dreaming away, the burner is on,
we’ve got a show to play,
the main attraction is a grand display,
open the doors to let the people in to hear the magic,
they’ve a lot to say, making notions
we are to begin our fabled story of love.
Who are you, who are we?
You are fantasy.
We know why you are here.
Realize this is real life.
You’ve been on the rise since you’ve been born.
Staying awake, a little bit longer
‘till your eyes are torn,
the main attraction is a worthy wait,
keeping us up until the song is sung,
singing along before the band is done,
we’ve got a word to share with you my friend,
our fabled story of love.
Who are you, who are we?
You are fantasy.
We know why you are here.
Realize this is real life.
You’ve been on the rise since you’ve been born.

Verse 1
Who’s to say what I would rather be?
I’d rather be so strange
with the strangest parts of me.
Chorus
Watching trees in the window
and all the leaves they shake.
Verse 2
Who’s to say that I would be alone?
Alone against the world,
the world I call my own.
Chorus
Watching trees in the window
and all the leaves they shake.
(Your falling grace,
your raining down,
your falling grace for now.)

Inside Out
03:09
|
|||
Verse 1
I keep on feeling like I’m coming up on full control,
I get the message in the spirit of rock and roll,
I never wanna think that somethings wrong when I know its for sure,
its you.
Verse 2
I left a message on the table for you in the hall,
hit like a pressure weight, I dropped the measure back to fall.
I never wanna think that somethings wrong when I know its for sure,
its you.
Chorus
Going down (for this time),
Inside out (for this time),
Its gonna be fine (for this time),
Theres more that you need.
Verse 3
I keep on feeling like I’m coming up on full control,
I get the message in the spirit of rock and roll,
I never wanna think that somethings wrong when I know its for sure,
its you.

Better Man
03:42
|
|||
Intro
And with my mistakes
I will be a better man.
Verse 1
I wouldn’t make it again,
I would wait for it.
The people coming along,
they’re all over it.
I’ll make a story for some,
in a way, too upset.
You are gone, I’m hanging on by a thread.
Chorus
And with my mistakes
I will be a better man.
Verse 2
I would keep holding my breath
in the wake of you.
The meaning lost to a word
you would over use.
I’ll put the reason aside,
see your point of view.
You are gone, I’m hanging on by a thread.
Chorus
And with my mistakes
I will be a better man.
(And its you, baby girl, so lovely).

The Harbor
04:07
|
|||
Verse 1
The fever, the river,
the coast line, the shiver,
the old man, the young girl
waiting by his side.
The harbor, the waiter,
the time growing later,
the pine groves, away goes
many years beside the tide.
Chorus
Sooner than you will remember,
As the ocean does surrender,
Roll away and come back again.
Sooner than you will remember,
Take the fire, leave the ember.
Roll away and come back again.
Roll away and come back again.
Verse 2
The sky wakes, her heart aches,
The quick draw and clean brake,
She covers her mistakes
waiting by the side.
The harbor, the waiter,
the time growing later,
the high-lows, away goes
many years beside the tide.
Chorus
Sooner than you will remember,
As the ocean does surrender,
Roll away and come back again.
Sooner than you will remember,
Take the fire, leave the ember.
Roll away and come back again.
Roll away and come back again.
Bridge
Harder to believe
when nothings able to go right,
But what does it matter
its natural to be afraid.
More than you need,
baby, theres more when you love.

Just As It Was
05:18
|
|||
Wake and now be humble,
only words can tell,
What’s the difference from the yonder?
Nothing is and nothing will.
Jump back in a flash,
running on empty.
I’ve got twenty something problems
and its just what I needed.
I wouldn’t want to be it,
but I’d rather leave it all
just as it was,
just as it was.
Sleeping in the candle,
dreaming in the wheel,
Whats the same you’ll see tomorrow?
You are me and we are still.
Jump back in a flash,
running on empty.
I’ve got twenty something problems
and its just what I needed.
I wouldn’t want to be it,
but I’d rather leave it all
just as it was,
just as it was.
No one can throw away your light.
Take cover, take covering.
No one can throw away your light.

Seasons Are Turning
03:53

Verse 1
Home by the water
sheltering the breeze,
Echo years of laughter,
the memories we need.
Chorus
In the midst of a change,
When we see the seasons are turning.
Verse 2
Warmed by the fire,
Reading from the side,
Feeling all so tired
with all the words you hide.
Chorus
In the midst of a change,
When we see the seasons are turning.
Verse 3
Warmed by the fire (fire),
Reading from the side (side),
Feeling all so tired (tired)
with all the words you hide.
Chorus
In the midst of a change,
When we see the seasons are turning.

Verse 1
Sweeter on the outside,
the pain revolves and slips away.
Chorus
More than you know,
theres an answer.
Verse 2
Fool me once to question
fading out memory.
Chorus
More than you know,
theres an answer.
Verse 2
Movement, all but surrounds me,
love until you forgive.

More than you know,
theres an answer.
(Wait for me at the end,
won’t you wait for me at the end?)

Wake Me Up When Its Over
03:49
|
|||
Coming up in one,
Coming up in two seconds,
Coming up in three,
Wake me up when its over.
Give another try,
Do you have a sixth sense?
Going through a change,
Wake me up when its over.
Break out of the boundaries you’re holding to,
Dream louder, the melodies are leaking through.
Coming up in one,
Coming up in two seconds,
Coming up in three,
Wake me up when its over.
Making up a lie,
Do you have a sixth sense?
Is it ever gone?
Wake me up when its over.
Break out of the boundaries you’re holding to,
Dream louder, the melodies are leaking through.
You are inside your own mindset,
The experience that you’ll soon forget.
Oh, baby,
Its only a dream,
Your cognitive dissonance
is so obscene.
Your mind is made up
And so is the scene,
Story board, do you want more?
My guitar is hot for you.
Break out of the boundaries you’re holding to,
Dream louder, the melodies are leaking through.
You are inside your own mindset,
The experience that you’ll soon forget.
