once, looking through a portrait never would’ve known it faces don’t change every single night the years would grow upon you just like you’re digging in your pockets when you kinda feel ashamed open all the doors I try a little torture I had enough to lie down dream another day i’m giving her time to say what’s really on her mind I can’t shake the feeling that you’re not there in my arms going nowhere I was slipping through the floorboards looking like a stranger vision goes grey if I leave tonight would you take another picture hold me down for hunger take me back again dive into the light with every little movement you’re killing me slowly I’m dying in your gaze I’m giving her time to say whats really on her mind I can’t shake this feeling that you’re not there in my arms going nowhere

Count Me Out 03:49
So here we are again, the letters crossed and filed away He's not the one you thought he was, he was never one to stay It's not alright to leave things hanging off this way When someone else you know has got another thing to say So let's get high and talk about it while we have the time There's no more room for us to keep on taking sides You know, I've thought it out, there's really not much left to doubt And every time I wonder why the past is always holding us down If ever I turn away, count me out Words I can't explain, always changing If ever I turn away, can't go back If ever I turn away, count me out It started when we took the chance to make it last another day I never thought it'd come to this, with nothing left to say Seems like every time we make our minds we start to fight But neither one of us will know just how to end the night We're sailing out against the grain, currents holding us in place You're stuck in tow, you'll never know you're making old mistakes I'll never sink or swim, I'll never walk alone again Cause every time I make a move it comes around to haunt me again If ever I turn away, count me out Words I can't explain, always changing If ever I turn away, can't go back If ever I turn away, count me out

Estranged 03:47
shakedown this is how i found out what it really feels like to take the wrong side any reason to pick up the phone has got me tongue tied acting kind of uptight you came along we were standing under streetlights waiting not he first sign just like the last time heart’s heavy it’s taking a toll you had me all night it never felt like you took control set me free from this dream its not that I don’t know i’m just a fool for what you hide now that I’m closer you can see all of the tears in my eyes still I’m cryin' slow down all the things you say sound like you’re losing faith in all that i’m believing mind’s running can’t get away when all the long nights bring me to a new day left me feeling like i had no name i was a stranger couldn’t find my place on the stage never tell you what you wanna know caught in the wrong place counting all the mistakes we used to own set me free from this dream its not that I don’t know I’m just a fool for what you hide now that I’m closer you can see all of the tears in my eyes still, I’m cryin' still, I’m cryin'

Walked out the door upset, you know I won't let you leave Without changing your mind You're the kind of woman, who knows what she's doing Don't leave me now, I've got time (Not in the way) In the morning when you wake up, even when you stay up late (Not in the way) When the light's on in the kitchen, I'm the one that's missing you There's a lot of things that I'd rather choose, to be true Than to go another day without you Making up, breaking down, not waking up to what we have found From July to September, May I remember Believe me I'll be around (Not in the way) In the morning when you wake up, even when you stay up late (Not in the way) When the light's on in the kitchen, I'm the one that's missing you There's a lot of things that I'd rather choose, to be true Than to go another day without you I want you I need you I'd do anything to please you

It is easy to destroy yourself It ain't working anymore, I see it coming, can you tell I am here to show you otherwise I can hear above the noise reflecting what you're trying to hide And it feels like we are losing Yes it feels like there's no reason to fight But a gift that keeps on giving There's a certain kind of love it takes to bring you back to see When you looked inside the void you took the cue On the softest bed of roses you might choose To see an angel knock her hand against the door When she looked inside you were lying on the floor There's a moment when the tide recedes That exposes us as creatures slowly crawling on our knees And the chill that drives us to succeed Leaves the other half just wandering until they find the trees When you looked inside the void you took the cue On the softest bed of roses you might choose To see an angel knock her hand against the door When you looked inside she was lying on the floor It's not quite a natural adjunction, But the things I've had to go through For that certain kind of love

1000 Times 02:49
a thousand times I lost my mind I pack it up and left you behind another place face to face I tried it once but don’t like the taste, you know I wanna leave but you’re trying to stay far away from the tribe that put you in danger dazed as I’m watching all the lines over time they melt with me melt with me dazed as I’m watching all the lines over time they melt with me who is your arrow? 1000 times I saw the light still out of luck can’t get enough some other race in outer space we’re not alone don’t try to escape I can’t believe all the things that you say when you chain-smoke the lies you look like a stranger dazed as I’m watching all the lines over time they melt with me melt with me dazed as I’m watching all the lines over time they melt with me who is your arrow?

Not a Secret 03:40
it’s not a secret I’ve been down for so long it’s never easy to stay out all night when the feeling’s gone well I try to speak my mind but my heart hesitates every time I try to run I can’t get away it could be so nice we can’t live without all the hard times it doesn’t change every time I try to run I can’t get away we were so in love we moved up to the moon where we could take our time in dreams but this tragic distraction is holding us back now we just can’t see and its hard because neither one of us wants to leave am I sleeping? it’s never so easy to find another meaning for the things we do to stay alive well I tried to speak my mind but my heart it hesitates every time I try to run I can’t get away we were so in love we moved up to the moon where we could take our time and dream but this tragic distraction is holding us back now we just can’t see and it’s hard because neither one of us wants to leave its not a secret am I sleeping? its not a secret

Open Minded 04:28
When skies are dark and grey, a soft wind blows the rain away To open up a door inside my heart And some things aren't meant to last, others slip away too fast Across the silver lining as they stumble through the other side Right now, the water's high And autumn dreams might pass you by Don't let them go a second time, when the feeling's right Now it's time to be open minded Never a time was there to be this way Never mind if you never find it Take what you want and leave the rest behind It's older than you know, you got something inside that won't let go Can you help me take it slow I think one day you'll see, That all you meant to me was all the love I had Help me learn to understand And when the windy blue comes washing you It's time to let it all hang out again And let it in Now it's time to be open minded Never a time was there to be this way Never mind if you never find it Take what you want and leave the rest behind Now it's time to be open minded You gotta help me, got to get through to you Now it's time to be open minded I wanna run now, got to get through to you Now it's time to be open minded You gotta help me, got to get through to you
