From the Album When I Wake Up

GIRL LOST IN THE CITY

VERSE1

Hard rain falls over a heartless town
Can the same be said for you?
Have you overstayed your welcome?

Long hours longing for your return
To make it up to you
Do you think that you’ve escaped us?

CHORUS

So what’s the difference anyway?
It’s all the same
You make it on your own
For worse or better

So won’t you say
What you mean?
Because without the weight
Of your words nothing remains
The same

VERSE2

Grim look from judging eyes of a stranger
Maybe it’s for you
Have you made yourself a martyr?

Your makeshift wooden matchbox cars
Reminding you of home
Have you written to your father?

CHORUS 2

MIDDLE 8:

Run, run, run away
Come back when you see some change
You don’t need no reason
(Everybody’s hollow inside)

What you see, what you get
No one showed you what you wanted
You don’t need no reason
(Everybody’s hollow inside)

TODAY

VERSE 1

Hello
Today
I’m as lonely as you were in May
Today

Some say
Today
Is all there ever will be so I’ll stay
Today

CHORUS

Message to the one
Step into the sun
Remember all the days
That disappeared like rain

Open up your eyes
Everything’s alright
I tried to make you see
The wood for the trees

VERSE 2

You pray
Today
That tomorrow will be your day
You say

I may
Today
Tell you how I am feeling, in your way
Today

CHORUS x2

OUTRO
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be the only one

X3

I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be
I don’t want to be the lonely one

WHEN I WAKE UP

VERSE 1:

I don’t know the way I came
And where I’m going now
I think I threw my life away

There’s no one left to blame
For all of my mistakes
Maybe it really is just me

CHORUS:

And your shadow weighs you down
The things you’ve done follow you around
It’s ok
Another day perhaps

And every single thing you do
You bring your past along with you
Well ok
I guess I’ll say goodbye

VERSE 2:

Sometimes I close my eyes
And think of all the things
I know that I can never change

I wonder if my father’s
Up there watching me
I’m sorry if I let you down

CHORUS 2

MIDDLE 8:

When I wake up
When I wake up

END OF THE RAINBOW

VERSE 1:

Some of us came to conquer
Some of came to lose
I don’t know why I came at all

I stood in line for hours
Nobody told me to
I think I thought I saw your face

CHORUS 1:

See the blooming flowers
Do you remember?
What we said we’d do
If it ever came to this

And you count the hours
Do you recall?
What we used to do
Before we lost our minds

VERSE 2

I got to the end of the line now
Behind they’re waiting for me
It felt like I’d waited thirty years

Couldn’t believe what I saw
A hundred thousand lines more
We’ll never get to the end of the rainbow

CHORUS 2

OUTRO:

Can you count the hours?

ALL ENDS WELL

VERSE 1:

You
Like to smile
Through your pain
‘Cause the more you change
The more you stay the same

Wait
Don’t go
Not so fast
If you leave me here
I don’t think I will last

CHORUS 1:

All ends well
If you say you mean it

Take my hand
We’re falling but we’re not alone

VERSE 2:

Hey
Would you stoop
To my lows?
‘Cause I’ll follow
The further down you go.

Me
I try
Not to complain
‘Cause I know you only
Like me when I’m strong

CHORUS 2

MIDDLE 8:

To watch you throw it all away
To see the world through your eyes
To know it’s slipping through your fingers
To make you smile just this once for me

It’s ok to say
You don’t know what to do
You don’t what to say

AROUND HERE (PICTURE IN THE SAND)

VERSE 1:

Where do we go?
Nobody knows
Around here
Go away

Chasing the sun
We’re all on the run
Around here
Everyday

PRECHORUS:

I close my eyes but I can still see you
Without a sound I hear your voice come through
They say you went before your time, no

CHORUS 1:

Where did you go?
Dream of somewhere new
Every day
Further away
I still feel you

VERSE 2:

Where do we go?
Are we alone?
Around here
Won’t you stay?

Something lost
Rewrote our past
Around here
You went away

PRECHORUS 2

CHORUS 2

MIDDLE 8:

Draw a picture in the sand
Before the wind can blow it away
Memories are all we have
And there you were
I remember you
Around here

BREAK THE DRONE

VERSE 1:

Everything in moderation
Lose yourself in conversation
Get a gun and start a war
Forget the things we fighting for

CHORUS 1
Talk show hosts
And holy ghosts
Siv me dry and drain the tube

For heaven’s sake
Commercial break
There’s never been so much at stake

BREAK THE DRONE

VERSE 2:
Losing track of recollections
No more time, no more direction
Find the sun, climb the wall
See the waves on the shore

CHORUS 2

MIDDLE 8
You aint got nothing to say to me so go on home
I aint got no reason not to disconnect my phone
No matter what you try I’m always going to see through you
No matter I try your voice is always coming through

You know you can’t break my heart.

EVERYBODY’S GOING TO WAR

VERSE 1:
Say what you want to say
I got a rhythm that’ll make you stay
Jump up and down to your heart’s content
With me

Oh just to make you smile
I’d do anything I’d even walk a mile
Maybe even two if you sing along
With me

CHORUS1:

Everybody’s going to war
But the raging guns won’t define me
Everybody’s going to war
Can you hear them now come to find me
Everybody’s going to war
But the stars that shine still will guide me
Everybody’s going to war
The raging guns won’t define me

You got to
You got to
You got to remember me

VERSE 2:

Don’t let them make you sad
Rhythm to your blues gonna make you glad
Aint nobody gonna be crying tonight
With me

Go where you want to go
Learn about the world just to say you know
Show them what they’re missing all their lives
Is me

CHORUS 2

MIDDLE 8:

Hold it x8
[Gotta lose, gotta win]
[Gotta pray, gotta sin]
[Gotta fly, gotta land]
[Gotta know where you stand]
[Gotta live, gotta die]
[Gotta laugh, gotta cry]
[Gotta go, gotta stay]
[Gotta say what you say]

HEARTBREAK STREET

VERSE 1:

Ashtrays and cigarettes
Slow-mo smoke silhouettes
Time stops and starts again for no man

Dim, flickering street lights
Phone booth rings through the night
People walk past but no one answers

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

CHORUS 1:

Welcome to
Heartbreak Street
Where your sorrow leaves you behind
And your life starts again
Starts again x3

VERSE 2:

Sirens and fireflies
Silence can’t tell us lies
Torn, crumpled map on the dashboard

Lights change from green to red
Long, lonely road ahead
Watching the world through my glass window

CHORUS 2:

FACE VALUE

VERSE1:
You only do what you want to
What you have to
And the more I do for you
The less you thank me

You only say that you know that I know
And the more I say to you
The less you hear me

CHORUS 1:

Fire burning in your eyes (eyes)
Truthful smile but you’re telling lies
You’ll be the end of me
Words are turning’ in your mind (mind)
But you won’t give me any sign

Of the truth behind your face

VERSE 2:

You only see what you want to
What you have to
And the more I show to you
The less you notice
You only hear what you want to
What you have to
And the more I sing to you
The less you listen

CHORUS 2

WALKING WITH GHOSTS

VERSE 1:
Lonely streets long ago
And you know that I can’t walk around
With my tears in my hands

Watching you fall asleep
To the sound of the rain falling down
On your heart now as you dream

CHORUS 1:

Now I’m waiting up for you
And I think I always do
‘Cause you’re the best thing that’s ever happened
And it comforts me to know
That you’ll never let me go
‘Cause you’re the best thing that’s ever happened
To me

VERSE 2:

Shadows always follow me
And I have tried to feel more alive
But I’m still walking with ghosts

Hands are covering your face
And it’s so hard to think through the sound
Of your crying

CHORUS 2:

OUTRO:

I am not the one for you.
