Keep Moving

You always criticize me
for being too damn nice
But this dead weight 'round my shoulders
Got me thinking you were right
Gotta let him go
Gotta keep moving on
Some nights I lay in terror
seconds from a scream
That I won't find a way to live
the life that I have dreamed
Gotta hold on
Gotta keep moving on
And oh, feet don't fail me now
You're all I've got
And you said the road would rise
to meet me if I walked
So I thought...
I better keep moving
Gotta keep moving on
My friends and I
We grew up right
Parted ways last fall
I think about you all the time
Even if I don't call
It's been too long
Gotta keep moving on
If i stop for a moment
I fear I'll never start again
Get caught in the past
And suddenly it's the end
Gotta hold on
Gotta keep moving on
And oh, feet don't fail me now
You're all I've got
And you said the road would rise
to meet me if I walked
So I thought...
I better keep moving
Gotta keep moving on

Blue River
04:00

Love cast me away
and now I'm a refugee
From the only home I know
and I'm running
All the fear and fantasy
All came rushing back to me
I’ve lost all my dignity
and I’m crying
Break me down
Burn me up
Build me back again
I’ve got nothing left to lose
I told the voice inside my head
and it said
On your knees and you will be forgiven
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
Love will come back you see
If you remember how to breathe
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
Broken hearts and false starts
Everybody falls apart
Skies so dark cant see the stars
and I’m hurting
I’m a stranger to myself
and I don't want nobody’s help
I just need to hide away
and remember who I am
Break me down
Burn me up
Build me back again
I’ve got nothing left to lose
I told the voice inside my head
and it said
On your knees and you will be forgiven
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
Love will come back you see
If you remember how to breathe
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
Yesterday called my name
The past tried to pull me back
To who i used to be
You gave my love away
and is it a sin to know
I wouldn’t change a thing?
On your knees and you will be forgiven
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
Love will come back you see
If you remember how to breathe
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river

It Was Real
05:22
|

|
Driving down the pacific coast
Moonlight over water
Beauty and pain that I can't explain
Makes my heart falter
Suddenly you've become a ghost
Suddenly I'm hollow
But baby we both know
That where I'm going you won't follow
I've got these dreams that run real deep
Really I am fragile
And from the way that you held me close
I really thought I had you
But demons chased you far away
There's nothing I could do or say
And I'm not sure which is worse to lose
My sanity or you
Your memory cast a long shadow
Two steps behind me wherever I go
Same old human story told a thousand times
Somehow it was different between you and I
If anybody asks you please don't tell a lie
You let them know that it was real
And when the music stops I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna dance without you late into the night
If anybody asks me, and I'm sure they will
I'll let them know that it was real
It was real, you were real
Our love was really, really real
Driving down an October road
Restless in the fall
Writing letters that I never send
Why do I write them at all?
Was it love or a fantasy
Of someone I thought you could be?
But no, you can't take that away from me
'Cause it was really, really real
And in the night when you call my name
There'll be no answering
I gave you everything I could
But now I'm blowing in the wind
Let's put aside all this foolish pride
I just miss my friend
And I've got nothing left to hide
Because I left you, I left you
Your memory cast a long shadow
You're two steps behind me wherever I go
Same old human story told a thousand times
Somehow it was different between you and I
If anybody asks you please don't tell a lie
You let them know that it was real
And when the music stops I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna dance without you late into the night
If anybody asks me, and I'm sure they will
I'll let them know that it was real
It was real, you were real
Our love was really, really real
Don't make it dirty because you are hurting
It was real, you were real
Our love was really, really real
Don't rewrite history because you are in misery

Let Go
04:23
|
|||
|
Running as fast as we can
A poor man’s prayer
Secret turning inside
Made us so aware
That it’s a long way down
Once you hit the ground
Have you heard them say
That we’re mad?
Never assume
Your love is like flashes of brilliance
in a darkened room
Lost in words
Spoken but not heard
All day all night
the music plays
If it stops we stop
and it all fades away
Can you trust a whisper
If it won’t leave you alone?
Let go
Dancing wherever we stand
All consumed
Circular melody
in perfect tune
Just give in
to the rhythm
Desperate candles we light
to show the way
Places we’ve already been
But are too afraid
Forget what’s learned
And let the fire burn
All day all night
the music plays
If it stops we stop
and it all fades away
Can you trust a whisper
If it won’t leave you alone?
Let go

She Will Rise
03:57
|
|||
|
Weary distrust of mankind
She don't believe the sunrise
Unless it stares her in the eyes
Untouchable cool like stone
Porcelain inside
Isolation self-imposed
She will rise again
From the ashes we call home
Broken down, bone by bone
She will love again
In a world that's grown so cold
Her story yet to unfold
Loving vicariously
When no one can see
Ones that you hold close
Are the ones that hurt you most
Living in the now and today
She's gonna break away
Break away
She will rise again
From the ashes we call home
Broken down, bone by bone
She will love again
In a world that's grown so cold
Her story yet to unfold
She will rise again

Sea Song
04:57
|

|
Did you know I think you're beautiful
A song that brings me back to life
'Cause I do believe that we've dreamed the same dream
Somewhere sometime, somewhere sometime
Seeker of silence, lovers of late nights
Prophet said that it would be alright
We walked on the shore but you wanted more
And we're diving deeper now, and we're diving deeper down
Let the waves crash over me
Singing songs to the sea
Time to give up this fight
No more need for words tonight
Feels like I’ve been here so many times before
I stood in these streets, I've walked through these doors
I know I can change, I can mend my old ways
All I need is time, all I need is time
Did you know my skin is paper thin
Just like this dream that I’ve been living in
I wont compromise, I wont believe those lies
And I’m spinning faster now, and I’m spinning faster down
Let the waves crash over me
Singing songs to the sea
Time to give up this fight
No more need for words tonight
And you never abandoned me
(No matter where I’ve gone you have lingered on and on)
Showed me how to live again
Let the waves crash over me
Singing songs to the sea
Time to give up this fight
No more need for words tonight

Tear the World Apart
04:18
|
|||
|
Spinning away from all I used to know
Be my light in the dark
It’s what I asked you
Take my hand on this lonely road
'Cause I don’t want to be alone
It's what I told you
You never liked the bright city lights
So in this darkest night I will make my way
Stumble and fall, listening for your call
Don’t walk so far ahead I’m afraid that this might be the end
Did I dream you, 'cause I can’t see you
I’ll tear this world apart looking for you, love
I still know your taste but I cannot see your face
I’ll tear this world apart looking for you, love
Your shape is hazy
Outlined in gold
And you feel just like home
Is what I told you
Chasing a shadow
And clutching it too
Falling just short of you
Whispered 'I love you'
You never liked the bright city lights
So in this darkest night I will make my way
Stumble and fall, listening for your call
Don’t walk so far ahead I’m afraid that this might be the end
Did I dream you, 'cause I can’t see you
I’ll tear this world apart looking for you, love
I still know your taste but I cannot see your face
I’ll tear this world apart looking for you, love
Looking for the pieces
Where are you?

City of Dreams
04:20
|
|||
|
The colors of the world are changing
Or maybe it's just me
Brilliant shades swell and fade
Just like a symphony
Off in the distance
Is the city of my dreams
Gleaming there on the horizon
So beautiful it seems
I left the home I’d known
In the middle of the night
Ran away fast so I couldn’t look back
To what I’d left behind
Why does it seem
That everybody’s got it figured out
I give the world much more credit
Than I’d ever give myself
Push the river
And it pushes you away
Float on down
To the city of dreams
Maybe I’m spellbound
By the stories I’ve been told
Beauty and music and no one's cynical
And if there was just one chance that a city did exist
I would cast off all that I’ve got
To follow my bliss
Sometimes the bravest thing
You can do is stay alive
Oh I’m too young to feel so old
Too young to be so tired
Keep chasing after truth and how to say what I feel
Only then do I feel closer to something that’s real
Push the river
And it pushes you away
Float on down
To the city of dreams
The colors of the world are changing
Or maybe it's just me
All alone on a glittering road
My eyes they do deceive
My oasis or my hallucination
I'll find out when I make it to the city of my dreams

The Last Party
04:37
|
|||
|
It was the last party
I bought all the champagne
And we toasted to me
Bon voyage into the great mirage
So many ways to live this life
I've got to wonder sometimes
If I'm doing it right?
There comes a time when you've just got to go
Got to make your way, find it on your own
Feeling down and out, take a train down south
And disappear into the Delta
Because we're all just as lost
As the next one of us
On a bus going everywhere, nowhere
And we laugh and we cry
And we scream in the night
Wondering if anybody is out there
Raise your cup to the wanderlust
When the sun comes up I'm gone
Familiar streets that I cannot leave without sorrow
Starting days and parting ways
We're growing up and going away
So these three cheers to the last party
To the last party
So then we said our last goodbyes
And kissed and cried and kissed and cried
And turned face forward into the night
Here I go bare feet and fate
I'll follow the wind wherever it takes me
I swear on my soul that I won't let life break me
This bleeding heart won't let love forsake me
This I promise you
So here I go, here I go, here I go
I'll follow these rivers as deep as my soul
And I look for the strangers on the way
'Cause we all say at the end of the day
That we're all just as lost
As the next one of us
On a bus going everywhere, nowhere
And we laugh and we cry
And we scream in the night
Wondering if anybody is out there
Raise your cup to the wanderlust
When the sun comes up I'm gone
Familiar streets that I cannot leave without sorrow
Starting days and parting ways
We're growing up and gone away
So these three cheers to the last party
When the sun comes up I'm gone...

Shake
02:45

The night was made for dancing
That's what my mama said
It's also for romancing
That is no coincidence
The moonlight's so enchanting
I've nearly lost my head
Won't you come over here
And show me those steps again
Showed her the way
Three, four, five
And now I remember
Because the music lives inside
She showed him the way
To feel alive
They're sharing glances
And now they're dancing side by side so they can
Shake, shake, shake, baby
Shake, shake, shake, honey
Shake, shake, shake, baby
Shake, shake, shake
Why even try to fight it
That sultry midnight song
It's going to pull you close
And have you dancing all night long
Color and sound surround you
No need to think, just feel
That music came and found you
And it's the only thing that's real
Showed her the way
Three, four, five
And now I remember
Because the music lives inside
He showed her the way
To feel alive
They're sharing glances
And now they're dancing side by side so they can
Shake, shake, shake, baby
Shake, shake, shake, honey
Shake, shake, shake, baby
Shake, shake, shake
Oh yea, the night is young
She showed him the way
Three, four, five
And now I remember
Because the music lives inside
He showed her the way
To feel alive
They're sharing glances
And now they're dancing side by side so they can
Shake, shake, shake, baby
Shake, shake, shake, honey
Shake, shake, shake, baby
Shake, shake, shake
