Oh, the wind goes far
And so will I
For you
I just hope I'll find you soon
I need someone
Before I'm done
Woah
I'll find you soon
And the setting sun
Is almost gone
And the dark will come
There'll be no dawn
I'm always tired
Got no counterpart
With no one there
To help me through
I'm all alone
I feel like a fool
I need someone
I need you
And the setting sun
Is almost gone
And the dark will come
There'll be no dawn
And the setting sun
Is almost gone
And the dark will come
There'll be no dawn
In the setting sun
I'll always wait
You will be my dawn
You're on your way

Heights

Gonna jump down the well of broken dreams
Gonna patch 'em all up, so up their broken seams
Gonna climb up the hill in my backyard
Gonna climb up high and see how far is far
Who cares where we go next?
Who cares when we go home?
The sky is dark and you feel all alone
But go outside and make the world your own
The ocean's blue, the stars are big and bright
With no one to tell us we need to take the flashlight.
Who cares where we go next?
Who cares when we go home?
Let's swim through the ocean in the sky
If you live your life, you won't be scared to die
I know life can seem real short and wild
But the world will open up if you just smile
Just smile
Who cares where we go next?
Who cares when we go home?

Shine

I can't see what I'm doing
But I don't seem to mind
It doesn't really matter
Cause it all makes sense this time
I can't find my balance
I can't find solid ground
The odds had been against me
But not this time around
I always want you near me
You're always on my mind
I hope that you can hear me
Cause I love the way you
Shine
And I love the way you smile
And your eyes
They take me through the sky
I could talk to you for hours
My interest never fades
You're the only one who gets me
All my colors, all my shades
And when I'm in the darkness
You're the one who lights my way
And even though we're different
We're really just the same
Loving you is easy
I never have to try
I can be myself around you
And together we will
Shine
And I love the way you smile
And your eyes
They take me through the sky
The sky
Whenever we're together
Oh the time begins to fade
I want you on my shoulder
Every second, every day
Oh whenever we're together
I always seem to find
That the bright's a little brighter
Cause I love the way you shine
Oh the way you shine

She Tried
04:11
|

There's no life in her eyes
It's like she died
And she knows there's no hope
Because she tried
Oh they said they were friends but they lied
And it goes and it goes
On again, on again
She's so tired
Well they took it away
Even took her brain
Never be the same
Only night and day
Only wants to wake
Wish I knew her name
Never be the same
Wish I knew her name
Never be the same
You left her lying there
Left her lying there in the street
Say it doesn't matter
Oh it doesn't matter, it will never happen to me
Well they took it away
Even took her brain
Never be the same
Only night and day
Only wants to wake
Wish I knew her name
Never be the same
Wish I knew her name
Never be the same
Found it there in the street lying next to her feet
She knew today was the day, let it light her way
It was the candle she held, it lit her way as she fell
As she let out a cry, she knew she shouldn't have tried
The candle fell to the floor, she was too close to his door
It was the fear that he heard, he knew he had to be stern
And his foot came down and the candle went out
There was no more light shining in her eyes
Well they took it away
Even took her brain
Never be the same
Only night and day
Only wants to wake
Wish I knew her name
Never be the same
Well they took it away
Even took her brain
Never be the same
Only night and day
Only wants to wake
Wish I knew her name
Never be the same
Wish I knew her name
Never be the same

Stars

Seen her fly right through the sky
And With her eyes, they give me light
And with her heart, I can go far
Got my on fallen star
Oh the stars, they shine all day
But only the bright ones light your way
And with her heart, I can go far
Got my own fallen star
Most people forget the stars shine all day
They tend to think all but one have gone away
They sun's brightest but I know that's not true
My fallen star is brighter, my fallen star is you

Finish Line
02:47
|
|||
|
I feel her arms around my neck
I hear a sharp intake of breath
I know that everythging is right
Heart beating, sharp breathing
Just watch the wind blow through her hair
The glowing lights, uncommon pair
Of neon colors dancing round, round, round
I was moving slow but I've gone too far
And I know that life should never be this hard
For me and for everyone I see
Who thinks that freedom should be free
There is a letter in this book
I'm writing in, I never took
It to the post office, I don't know why
I know it makes me cry
I'm tired of all the guilt and shame
Tired of the universe's game
But I am fine
I was moving slow but I've gone too far
And I know that life should never be this hard
For me and for everyone I see
Who thinks that freedom should be free
I hear the echo in this hall
Of my guitar from wall to wall
The single dollar in my case
Is mocking me as if to say
You won't go far, oh hey
You'll never try hard enough
You'll never find the one you love
But I will go farther on
Than you ever had in mind
I will meet her there
On the finish line
And, yeah freedom is not free
But it means that much to me
To fight with pride
