[Verse 1]
There's a white flag in my eye
It's the wrong place, the right time
My broken wings have learned to fly
What if we leave this behind?
[Chorus]
Hey! Take me far away from me
Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean
Innocence came and left
Got no time to second guess
Remember 'cos you can't forget
Erase the past, get outta here fast
[Verse 2]
Within a flash, we've arrived
Here's to the rest of our lives
We're a boomerang in a hurricane
Because of love, we're survived
[Chorus]
Hey! Take me far away from me
Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean
Innocence came and left
Got no time to second guess
Remember 'cos you can't forget
Erase the past, get outta here fast
[Bridge}
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
[Chorus]
Hey! Take me far away from me
Hey! Wake me when the slate is clean
Innocence came and left
Got no time to second guess
Remember 'cos you can't forget
Erase the past, get outta here fast
[Outro}
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....
Woooaahhh, woooaaahhhh....

Let Go
03:45

|
[Verse 1]
A one-way trip down a barrel of denial
The prettiest persuasion
The ugliest of fights
A one-way trip down a barrel of denial
We stumble, fall, and try to get it right
Oh...
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me lately?
Love me, hate me
Just let go
It's out of your control
[Verse 2]
Palindromes and rollercoaster rides
Breaking news of broken alibis
Palindromes and rollercoaster rides
A senseless search for something, anything
Everything I'll nevеr find
Oh
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me latеly?
Love me, hate me
Just let go
It's out of your control
[Bridge]
There's gotta be something else
There's gotta be someone else
There's gotta be something else
There's gotta be something more than this
More than this
Oh!
[Breakdown]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me lately
Done for me lately
Done for me lately
Done for me lately?
[Chorus]
I'm so sick of this boy/girl myth
What have you done for me lately?
Love me, hate me
Just let go
It's out of your control
[Outro]
Out of your control
Out of your control
Woah
Ah-oooh!
Ah-oooh!
Ah-oooh!

End of the Reel
03:40

|
[Verse 1]
All the world's shoes are so hard to fill
Anything was possible when everything changed
Hard to know exactly who's responsible
A skinny man from Estevan humbly used to say that
[Pre-Chorus]
"Your life's a debt that you can't repay
And when you reach the end of the reel...
[Chorus]
Everything you said and made
All these things, they don't mean a thing
Everything they take away
Are those things you can't explain."
[Verse 2]
When the moon is just another streetlight
Broken hearts are mendable
Wounded knees will hеal
The only thing we have to losе is our lives
Everything is visible, you think you can conceal, 'cos
[Pre-Chorus]
"Your life's a debt that you can't repay
And when you reach the end of the reel...
[Chorus]
Everything you said and made
All these things, they don't mean a thing
Everything they take away
Are those things you can't explain."
[Chorus / Outro]
"Everything you said and made
All these things, they don't mean a thing
Everything they take away
Are those things you can't explain
All these things you can't explain
All these things, they don't mean a thing."
When the moon is just another streetlight

She Leaves
03:51
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
She leaves
As loudly as she arrived
As loudly as she cries
Beautiful people, no more beautiful life
She fields
The questions on her mind
The answer every time:
"If you believe it, then it isn't a lie."
[Pre-Chorus 1]
She take sup space 'cos she's around
She makes you swim to watch you drown
Her lips are still but speak so loud
She wears your anger like a crown
[Chorus]
She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I sleep so deeply, I'm awake
I'm dry from all this rain
Die if I stay alive
I left to arrive
We float
Like floats in a parade;
A rumbling motorocade
We are so glad we stayed
To see the mess we made
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Close the chapter, flip the page
Move onto the present stage
So content, too dependent
But a restless heart cannot be tamed
[Chorus]
She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright!
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A conscious choice, a statement made
But snap decisions play/replay
Lack of insight, lack of foresight
Lack of hindsight -- I don't care!
[Chorus]
She leaves again and again
She knows it's never the end
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeaaahhhhh!!!!

[Verse 1]
Sunrise, see the clock, waitin' for the train to start
Sunrise, see the clock, waitin' for the train to start
One night's all I got -- tell this fuckin' train to start
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Time waits for no one at all
[Chorus]
Breathe deep, breathe slow
Apart but not alone
Can't keep this closed
I'll find my way back home
[Post-Chorus]
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
[Verse 2]
Perfect horizon line, she is layin' on her side
Sun sets over hips, risin' through her waking eyes
Perfect horizon line, she is layin' on her side
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Time stops when you're on my mind
[Chorus]
Breathe deep, breathe slow
Apart but not alone
Can't keep this closed
I'll find my way back home
[Post-Chorus]
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
[Bridge]
What do we need but the air that we breathe?
A memory is hardly a dream
[Post-Chorus / Breakdown]
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
Aaaaahhhh.... aaaaaaahhhhh.....
[Chorus]
Breathe deep, breathe slow
Apart but not alone
Can't keep this closed
I'll find my way back home
[Outro]
Breath deep
Breathe slow
Apart but not alone
Can't keep
This closed
I'll find my way back home
I'll find my way back home

Girl in a Frame
03:17
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Hangin' in a frame
A girl without a name
The face she can't protect
The you that I reflect
The me that I project;
A sketch of what I can't accept
Uh-huh
{Pre-Chorus 1]
I won't accept this now
I won't accept this now
[Chorus]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
[Verse 2]
"It's not a code red
But a caution sign," she said
"Something needs to be released."
Your beauty killed the beast
That lived inside of me
I oncе was blind but now I see you
[Chorus]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your еyes
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
{Pre-Chorus 2]
I won't accept this now
I won't accept this now
And I've waited patiently for you to conquer me
I've waited patiently for you to conquer me
[Chorus / Breakdown]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
[Chorus]
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes
Oh! You can have it all
I can see my whole life in your eyes

If The Walls Could Talk
03:45
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Scandals and love affairs
The Gospel According to Error
Police with trigger fingers
As the camera's heads roll dead
The asshole no one sees
Casanova begging, "please,"
The bath than drowned the singer
[Pre-Chorus]
That's how the story goes
Can't see or hear or know
[Chorus]
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?
[Verse 2]
Did Courtney kill Cobain?
What became of Richey James?
"Happy birthday, Mr. President
Happy birthday to you!"
"A gentlе overdose,"
Superman in comatosе
Lee family's "accidents,"
[Pre-Chorus]
That's how the story goes
Can't see or hear or know
[Chorus]
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?
[Chorus]
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?
What would they say if the walls could talk?
They'd tell you things you could never, ever make up
What would they say if the walls could talk today?

In Disguise
02:39
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Am I crazy, or are you not me?
Have I wasted all your time?
Just one moment, not the end
And please, never say, "It's all been said."
[Chorus 1]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "I am fine."
[Verse 2]
Another fable of death and resurrection
A dozen faces I must hide
"I'm afraid of change," he said
"And you couldn't save me even if you tried."
[Chorus 2]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "Fuck off, I'm fine."
[Chorus 3]
In disguise
Chemically-inclined
The story of my life: "I am fine, I'm fine, I'm fine."
Oh!
When my pride
Is worth more than your life
The moment may subside
This time
[Outro]
Ooooohhh... oooooohhhhh!
Ooooohhh... oooooohhhhh!

Gastown
03:10
|

|
[Verse 1]
Everyone locked themselves away
For a storm, and it never came
I wonder what you and I would say
If we were to meet again
Tell your stories, I'll tell you mine
Don’t be sorry for the lost time
I'm here before you, it's now tonight
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 1]
Can you sit with me in Alaska’s current
Leave your surface behind?
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind
[Verse 2]
Take my hand now, we'll walk away
Find ourselves in a better place
Which may just be where we are today
I wonder what we would say...
[Chorus 2]
If you sat with me in Alaska's current
Left your service behind
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 3]
You said once, to "Remember
Every stranger is somebody's child,"
It's nice to meet you, it's been a while
Into your heart, out of mind
[Chorus 4]
Can you sit with me in Alaska's current
Leave your surface behind?
Much less certain of true than kind
Into your heart, out of mind
[Outro]
No one gets left behind
Into your heart, out of mind

Vampires
02:59
|

|
[Verse 1]
Roads we overtake
(uh-huh)
Winding longer
Lest we entertain
(uh-huh)
Listless vampires
Just another day
(of)
Bricks and mortar
Just can't get away
(from all, of us)
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, don't be afraid
Surrender or remain
Hey, hey, won't lie in wait
For another time and place
[Verse 1]
Circle or a wave
(revolve)
Or go further
Open arms await
(clean hearts, always)
Hey
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, don't be afraid
Surrender or remain
Hey, hey, won't lie in wait
For another time and place
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, don't be afraid
Surrender or remain
Hey, hey, won't lie in wait
For another time and place
Hey, hey, don't be afraid
Surrender or remain
Hey, hey, won't lie in wait
For another time and place
