Once I was a broken soul, capsizing on the seas. Waiting for a Tailor’s hand to gently come and stitch the seams. Or was I simply waiting there like a seed within the earth? For a moment I could find myself, a moment of rebirth.

I’ve been low, searching on the ground. Coming up empty handed, feeling like a lost and found. But you came through, and what was a boy to do? Looking like Cleopatra, I’d lay down my life for you. (Woah) I wanna know, how can our love survive? In the heat of the summer. I can’t stop this. Anything can grow with time. I think we’ll get there, lover, things will fall in line. Can we just lie together, get by together? Can we wake up together and share love together? Getting pulled onto you would be the best mistake that I’ve ever made. We should be making it every day. So I’ll be getting my body clean just to come and have you sweat all over me. (Woah) I wanna know, how can our love survive? In the heat of the summer. I can’t stop this. Anything can grow with time. I think we’ll get there, lover, things will fall in line. Can we just lie together, get by together? Can we wake up together and share love together? We’ll have to err on the side of caution. We’ll have to err on the side of truth. Sometimes we’ll think until we’re feeling nauseous. (ahhh) If you feel like you’re out of options. If you feel like you wanna cut loose. We’re gonna have to find a way to get off it, get off it.

Feeling in a way, I was there in the darkness, hidden inside it. How was I to know you’d come around? When it’s dust to dust, but here’s to us, making love in spite of it. I was a construct of your mind, I was a construct of your body keeping apart would have been unkind, I just don’t have time for that You were a construct of my mind, you were a construct of my body. keeping apart would have been unkind. (woah) I was unaware there could be more than GoodLove. But when you take me there, girl, it’s all I can think of. Feeling in a way, I was there in the darkness, hidden inside it. How was I to know you’d come around? When it’s dust to dust, but here’s to us, making love in spite of it. I was a construct of your mind, I was a construct of your body keeping apart would have been unkind, I just don’t have time for that You were a construct of my mind, you were a construct of my body. keeping apart would have been unkind.

But when you take me there, girl, it’s all I can think of.

Is it a symptom of greed that makes it spread like fire? How could you turn the whole world into your funeral pyre? You know when nothing is sacred but everything's desired we'll keep pinning it down till it's nothing, it's nothing All our hearts are made the same but all our hearts get rearranged We'll keep filling it up, filling a hole that we're making filling it up, filling a hole that we're making Some place safe. Some place warm. Some Place there. When you open your mouth you love the taste of your lies Spilling poison in the water raining death from the skies Saving up for a ticket, a rocket journey through the night Then we'll do it all again until another planet dies All our hearts were made the same But all our hearts got rearranged We'll keep filling it up, filling a hole that we're making filling it up, filling a hole, a hole Some place safe. Some place warm. Some Place there.

Pace with me, when all my dreams have flown away from me. I’m waking up to an emergency, the light will come as night recedes. But it blinded me as I was lying in my reverie. Did all the chaos happen underneath a fragile mask you let me see? What is left to say when your songbird’s flown away? The pilgrims say, “there is a coastline but it’s far away”. I feel it drifting further everyday, but who am I to change my fate? So I’ll contemplate their sense of urgency, that great escape. My body sinking as they elevate, different paths on the same day. What is left to say when your songbird’s flown away?

Out in the courtyard, in the sunlight, she walks among them. She knows her mind, she knows her mind. Back in the city, I’m kicking rocks and I kinda thought that we would share our lives. But it serves me right. Is it all always the same in the end? I was cut from the cloth of an ordinary man. I wanna face it in the right direction. A better version of me, a different person than you is on the coast. I gotta go if it’s time. Out on the turnpike faces turn back as the girl of the coastline rides. See her smile, I know I can too, I just haven’t for a while. If Mona Lisa was a picasso would she still feel the same? Probably not, so why am I so hell-bent on change? When it’s all always the same in the end. I was cut from the cloth of an ordinary man. I wanna face it in the right direction. A better version of me, a different person than you is on the coast. I gotta go if it’s time. I wanna face it in the right direction I wanna face it in the right direction (Always the same in the end)

At once I was a broken soul, capsizing on the seas. Waiting for a Tailor’s hand to gently come and stitch the seams. Or was I simply waiting there like a seed within the earth? For a moment I could find myself, a moment of rebirth.

I packed it up and did the only thing logical with my life. Bought a Pontiac Trans Am gonna keep it runnin’ till one of us breaks down. I had enough, all my surroundings they were digging me an early grave. I wanna find some people who think like me. Maybe build a new city in the wild wild west. A million ways, a million ways for anyone to live their lives. But we only get one till our time has come, I know I need to make things right. Along the way I’ll do my best to outrun what’s been left behind. But if i weary of my load I’ll hit the shoulder of the road and just listen to the night My trouble behind me, my trouble behind me, my trouble behind me, my trouble behind me. My trouble behind me, my trouble behind me, my trouble behind me, my trouble.

Cops on the roadside don’t like the way I drive. Not feeling guilty, push it forward just to feel alive. I got tired of the way I lived my life. I guess I thought I didn’t know myself. All my time was spent in the basement. Locked inside my head, filled with regret. Not quite sure just what I’ve been chasing. Feeling’s almost there… but it comes and goes! Oh yeah it comes and goes. And it fucks with me, oh it fucks with me Did it fuck with you? Oh does it fuck with you? I’m in control now, that’s just the way I feel. Not gonna be another victim in the line of steel. Open road now, I bless the steering wheel. These cops can chase me, but they’re gonna need help. All my time was spent in the basement. Locked inside my head, filled with regret. Not quite sure just what I’ve been chasing. Feeling’s almost there… but it comes and goes! Oh yeah it comes and goes. And it fucks with me, oh it fucks with me Did it fuck with you? Oh does it fuck with you, you, you, YOU?

Red and orange are your afterglow. We should question all the things we know. Fortunate one, tell me all of the secrets you hold. Fortunate one, don’t tell me “it’s hours ahead, but lightyears to go”. (Ahhh’s) Red and orange, summer’s afterglow. Leaves lay scattered all along the road. Fortunate one, tell me all of the secrets you hold. Fortunate one, don’t tell me “it’s hours ahead, but lightyears to go”. (Ahhh’s) I was in a dream, floating around, hovering over you. The flower of the sea, riding the crown, resting upon the blue. The tide is running out soon, what can I hold on to? Our time is running out soon, what will survive? Oh I was in a dream, floating around, hovering over you. The flower of the sea, riding the crown, resting upon the blue. The tide is running out soon, what can I hold on to? Our time is running out soon, what will survive?

You daydream in record time, would trade it for a different life. In darkness what I can see is never enough, never enough for me. I’ve come to recognize all my violence, all my lies. In darkness what I could see was never enough for me.

I woke up in a cold, cold sweat. Something looking me dead in the eyes. If they bury me with one regret, it’ll be that I died. Marlon Brando, Marvin Gay, didn’t think twice when they had to say “What’s going on?” So what's going on? The world is fun if you give it a chance, and you get it off your back, and you get it off your back. The world is fun if you give it a chance, and you get it off your back, just get it off your back. All my friends have done bad things but all my friends are alright. Everybody’s done bad things. But the world is fun if you give it a chance, and you get it off your back, just get it off your back. Everyone’s welcome at the table. There’s plenty of room as far as I can see. We all have fun while we’re still able. Then we get up and leave. The world is fun if you give it a chance, and you get it off your back, and you get it off your back. The world is fun if you give it a chance, and you get it off your back, just get it off your back. All my friends have done bad things but all my friends are alright. Everybody’s done bad things. But the world is fun if you give it a chance, and you get it off your back, just get it off your back. “I used to be a bully” I’ll admit that’s pretty rough. But I know you’re trying everyday to be bigger than that stuff. “I hate my cheating ex” hey, at one time I could relate. But I learned I only hurt myself when holding on to hate. “I don’t think I’m good enough” you can’t be further from the truth. There’s so many different people but only one of them is you. So let’s put on some Springsteen, start dancing in the dark. If we can’t be the fire of love let us be the spark. (The world is fun) (The world is fun) (The world is fun) (All my friends are alright) (The world is fun)

I said “my name is trouble, I’m here to pick you up, I wanna take you out, you need to lighten up.” Then I sat down beside you, thick-skulled and vulnerable. Liquid inside a cup, need you to pick me up. Well you said “you’re bright but I think I’m brighter, not one to fall for any flattery, don’t go for me, it wouldn’t matter at all.” I said “I was uptight, but you’re uptight-er, no point in being so unreachable, I’m down to take one thing at a time” I would wait all my life to call you mine. As it is, I’ll get by, so take your time. The collapse of an era, age of the rock and roll. Who’s gonna save us now? Who’s gonna work the console? Well I’m undecided, wondering if they know Something that I don’t Out of my control. Well you said “watch out for the big ol’ spiders, we’re caught in a web that’s so unbreakable, I’m trying to shed all that’s holding me tight.” I said “I guess that’s true and it’s getting tighter, but not quite enough to swallow everything, I’m here to stay, I’m never leaving your side.” I would wait all my life to call you mine. As it is, I’ll get by, so take your time. I would wait all my life to call you mine. As it is, I’ll get by, so take your time.

Once I was a broken soul, capsizing on the seas. Waiting for a Tailor’s hand to gently come and stitch the seams. Or was I simply waiting there like a seed within the earth? For a moment I could find myself, a moment of rebirth.

Verse 1: People getting tired of the second rate Caught between a life and a pay raise Checking all of the boxes, keep checking on the time We've got everybody thinking they're behind they're behind And now we're on the edge of this invisible force in the air; our modern crucible Filling up our houses, climbing up the spine would I even recognize it from inside Chorus: As my faith declines, and the truth starts her slumber Till a break in the sky, when I'm held by the summer, held by the summer Verse 2: Now they're gonna talk about a miracle When what we need is something small, something natural Not some hollow fragments from a chest in the hall Feels like no ones gonna catch you when you fall, when you fall And I've been feeling guilty for the role that I play In a system that gives everything but takes it away So march on children in the light of the dawn and together find the strength to carry on Chorus: As our faith declines, and the truth starts her slumber, Till a break in the sky when I'm held by the summer, held by the summer Faith declines, Truth starts her slumber, Till a break in the sky When I'm held by the summer, held by the summer
